To be kept in the straight and
narrbw'path by a mule and a plow
pulling ahead of them waa the ex
perience of the early atudenta of
Mercer at Penfield. No Wesleyan
girla in those daya, no vaudeville
performance*, no movies, no basket
ball games for the enjoyment of the
boy*.
What do the Mercer students of
today think of the daily schedule of
the boys of Penfield fame? They

part in-the. history of our state, aai e d UP their beds and rooms, attend
^MU/as the nation. In the struggle
between the states and the dark day
. ot reconstruction, Mercer men were
found in their placed. Since those
. days Mercer men have lead the state
in the political • department. The
legal and teaching professions have
bean greatly enriched by the. con
tributions of Mercer. Great busi
ness concerns of the nations have
turned to Mercer for men to direct
their affairs; Tta literature of the
world baa been increased by contri
butions of Mercer men. When we
viqw the pulpits of today we find
Mercer graduate* among the fore
most men of the age.
During the recent struggle of hu
manity we were represented by
some of the choicept spirits of the
world. Among all the great and il
lustrious sons of the nation, none
excelled our men. They fought for
the pHnctples of t he Stars and
Stripes because they understood the
principles for. which they stand. We
will never c ease to sing their praises
Oar Croat*** Heroes.
There is another class of Mercer
men of whom we hear very little.
I think E them as volunteers in the
greatest army that this world will
ever know. These men have re*.
Hsod “Except a grain of wheat fall
lata the ground and dia, it ahJdeth
alone” -They here gone forth to
preach the goapal to badly governed
■atiena without any protaction, suf
fering everything, bat martydr-m,
and with then; noble perseverance
they dW tabor to save the benight
ed heetheu from error of their way.
At the outset they dtemtaeed all de
sires, but for the favor of God. A
voluntary exile from home, friends
and nation, they learn to sing Hie
. praise ia a strange land. The sal
vation of the heathan clal them to
make sacrifice of ell earthly daairee
that the heart calls far on earth.
The course with which these men
went forth was wrought not by the
stimulus of popular applause; it is
the courage which cornea unapplaud
ed whan on# meets Hie Master face
to face. Surely they can aay with
the missionary of old, “And now I
go bound ia the spirit, —, not
knowing the. thing* which shall be
fall ms there; save that the Holy
Spirit witneaseth in every city say
ing that bonds and afflictions abide
me; yet' none of these things movs
me; neither count I my life dead un
to myself, to that I finish my course
with joy, and the ministry, whieh I
have received of the Lord Jeeue.”
There is no flag to load them on
ward; only a cross carved within
the heait which thrills them as no
flag on earth.! They have become
world cittaens, in order that they,
may lead the nations to worship Je
hovah in the beauty of holiness. They
are. not looking for an armistice;
the foe is to be defeated and brought
. to the Christ, the Savior of the
Whole world. May the Lord give
more of us courage to follow in
S9ch- a noble train of men.

With these fine prospects for
students Jesse Mercer declared that
there would be no want of pupils.
The only trouble in those days was
getting the hard cash as they could
not run down to the bank and cash

Mr. Brewton, the Methodist pas
tor conducted the opening exercis
es on Tuesday 4th. The talk he gave
on “Making the beet of time and op
portunities’’ showing that one mart
know that he is personally respon
sible for his education, that it is not
inherited, but is a thing for which
one must consciously work, was
appropriate and inspiring. Miss Ja

On Thursday afternoon the most
interesting feature on tbo program
rendered by the Pythian Literary
Society was a unique debate Resol
ved: That teachers ahould practice

firmative were Carol Huckson and
Alma Maeon; on the negative Be
atrice Hughes and Willie Mae

ee us" The teachers since “n
are only boys grown tall and hear**
henge little after all,, appreciated
the lCbuka insinuated in the debate
and truly - see themselves as their
pupils see them. They realise, how
slowly they approve the ideals that
they eo much love and preach. The
affirmative won, some think though
that waa because, all the judges were
students.
London— Any attempt by Great
.Britian to - build a big navy in com
petition with the United States
would be “absolutely disastrous,”
say some of the leading weekly pe-
roidicals of London, in commenting
on the naval estimates for the cur
rent year. As ; presented in the
House of Commons these estimates
were fixed at 990,872,300.
The spectator condemns the post
war recrudescence of "navalism”
under the caption “The Naval Skin
Game.”* “Against whom should we
be building?” it a&ks. “Either
.gainst America or Japan. We
should not be building against both
an alliance ~ between them
against Great Britian is inconceiv
able.
“We want to say most emphatic
ally that in our opinion a competi
tion with America would be absolute
ly disastrous. We hope the nation
will never consent to it.”
Any suggestion of a “two keels
o one” naval policy as directed
against the United States the spec-
ator dismisses as ludicrous, and it
inderscores the phrase: “We must
not form our policy utt. the respon
sibility of a war with America.”
. “If ever we joined With Japan
against America, we should have
ounded the knell of .the British
Empire,” the paper concludes.
The nation which brands big na
valism as sheer lunacy, also .strongly
opposes naval competition with the
United States wtfich it saya will
have a navy superior to the British
in 1924.
We cannot successfully enter on
a shipbuilding competition with
Amreica which has twice our pop
ulation and four times our resour
ces, this, paper aays and it contin

Our navalist have put another
nail in the coffin of the League of
Nations.-Unless this policy is' re
pudiated at once, it will dp more
than anything else to keep America
ut of too League, to impel her to
a political and economic isolation,
developing her full powers of mili
tary and naval defense, drawing
the South American states into a
’an Americanism, fatal to the lar-
er internationalism, and depriving
he broken countries of Europe of
the economic and financial aid that
they badly need, and that only, the
rade end credit of America can sup-
>1/ That way lie* neither peace nor
iconomic recovery, nor financial
salvation.

lure to approach the British coast*. ”
Incidentally, the Saturday Re
view. puts in a strong plea for the
ale of the West Indies by Britian
to the United States,'in order to
educe British indebtedness to
America, without sacrificing British
