away. It is builded on the sand.
A human being, whatever his degree of development, pos¬
sesses rights which shall not be taken from him with impuni¬
ty by power of potentate. The Higher Power invested him
with these rights and any lower power runs athwart the eter¬
nal forces that take them away. We are brethren and share
in common the ills of life and rejoice in the universal hope of
better things to come. Who shall pluck the star of hope from
our sky? Be he sultan or sovereign, priest or president,doom
is stamped upon the forehead of him who shut= the dcor in
the f ace 0 f a struggling people yearning hoping for the things
that make life worth living
Turkey made the .iwful blunder of regarding her sub
jects not as citizens but as servants and machines. This
view of humanity begets inhum inity which the fated sultan
exhibited without stint. The change had to come and it is
permanent. The current that bears progress on its bosom ,
never flows backward. Time with its avenging attendants
is on the track of every false system. We do not wish bad
things to befall Abdul Hamid since he has lost his power.
Put him in confinement and give him pity. He is not alone re
spsnsiblefor his badness and the barbarity of his reign. Abdul
Hamid is the product of forces lo ig dominant in Turkey and
should be granted mercy. With the passing of Mohamme
dan absoluteism in Turkey, one more black spot is removed
from the earth, a sure prophecy that the world at some period
of its onward movement will roll into light.

uncommon thing to hear some who do not know
not an fellowships with her
ory by actual visits to her precincts, and
life, utter words at variance with the facts lying all around
there. Distance does not always lend enchantment, Close
contact with Emory proves her to be a thing of life, with pulse
and and heart all at work. Those faithful men who
nerves and solicitous of
meet their classes day after day are too busy
results to seek by any ostentatious means to attract attention
to themselves. Strolling over the campus with eyes and ears
learned some things that our readers perhaps would
we
nott disdain to know.
The stately Science Hall which Dr. Dowman pushed for¬
ward with such faithful efforts while president of the College,
we find completed and paid for, $ 2 S,ooo.oo being the cost.
To this has been added and paid for $12,000.00 in equipment
for Science work, thus giving Dr. Bonnell tor the fir A time in
his life a chance to teach science with the best of results.
The establishment of the department of Chemistry, dis¬
tinct from that of Physics is a forward movement, the benefits
of which only the boys of the past six years have enjoyed.
The Gymnasium is a thing of beauty built at a cost of
$27,500.00 with only $3,700.00 debt on it which will be paid
December ist, It would do any preacher of the Conference
good rr o see the Gymnasium working under the management
ot Prof. Goodyear. The work done in this department is.well
worth the money piC into a College course. No better Gym¬
nasium can be found in the South.
Soon the Allen Memorial Church to cost $30,000 .00 will
grace the prettiest campus to be found anywhere. The
amount necessary to build this magnificent Memorial is large¬
ly provided for by cost and subscription.
These are the most important material improvements
-which a visitor with open eyes may see at Emory having been
made within the last six or seven years. *
The monumental achievement of the present administra¬ , . .
tion will be the raising of the $300,000.00 endowment.
That was a fine movement of Emory’s young president
when he proposed to the Board of Trustees to make VAe en
dowment $500,000.00 and asked for the privilege of taking
the load of raising this large sum on ns own s cm. ^.r.
Nearly $200,000.00 of the $300,000.00 is already pledged an
by the time the Board meets in 1910 Emory will have a»a* en
dowment of $500,000.00 and be fully equipped for the very
best college work. In observing the improvements at Emory
within the* short period of six years we fee, with all the church
a deep sense of gratitude for the forwaid movement of the
College and also recognize the faithful work of the President,
The little score that appeared in the papers recently that
Emory would have a new president next year has no fosnda
Hon as the people who know of the victories of Dr. Dickey in
his strenuous labors for the College are ready to believe.
From the foregoing tacts it does nut appear that Emory meeds
another president. Dr. Dickey has made good and the church
would not willingly see him go. No former incumbent ©f the
hie-h office he holds has done better. With the best faculty
the college has ever had she -II, go into the future with the
grace and dignity characteristic of an institution consaous of
its power to meet the ever enlarging demands of higher ed
ucation. Make a visit to Oxford, partake of her hospitality,
look upon the beaty of Emory, breathe the spirit thereabout,
•note the healthy growth of the college and you will hence
forth be her friend. J. N. SNOW.
Revolution in Turkey.
Turkey’s governmental system has recently undergone a
radical change. Just what the change is and what it will re¬
sult in are features of the situation in Turkey not yet known.
There has been a revolution but what direction the new
order will take is a matter of speculation and world wide in
terest. The student of history will not be able to exactly ae¬
count lor Turkey’s revolution on the basis of any former like
happening. We do not recall a similar case in history.
There is one underlying principle in the fall of Turkey’s
I ruler and the change of her government common to all such
mm ' upheavals_the assertion of individualism by the oppressed

When you employ
"Push— Don’t Knock.”
Upon a door I saw a sign ;
I cried, “A motvo, and it’s mine!”
A wiser thing I never saw —
No Median or Persian law
Should be more rigidly enforced
Than this, from verbiage divorced,
Its logic’s firm as any rock—
‘‘Push—don’t knock.”
’Twas simply meant to guide the hand
> Of those who wished to sit or stand
Within the unassuming door,
This weight of sermonry that bore
’Twas never meant to teach or preach,
Rut just to place in easy reach
The ear of him who dealt in stock—
‘‘Push—don’t knock.”
But what a guide for life was that—
Strong, philosophical for and pat;
How safe a chart you and me
While cruising o’er life's restless sea;
Push, always push, with hammer goal in view,
Don’t knock avoid the crew ;
This rule will save you many a shock—
1 “Push—don’t knock.”
When on that door I see the sign,
1 say “ Great motto, you are mine ! ”
No stronger sermon ever fell
From human lips; no sage could tell
The hothead youth more nearly how
To point alway his vessel’s prow;
There are no wiser words in stock—
“ Push—don’t knock.”
