THE MERCER CLUSTER MBtCER HAS SENT MANY MISSIONARIES By EPH WISFNHUNT ' ' Lonisvillc, Ky. Merest baa sent forth a magnifi- cant hrroy of sons who have achiev ed fame .and prestige in all depart ment* of the aocial affaire of the nation. For nearly a century Mer. cer baa reaped an enduring reward and holda herself with a juat pride in their successful profeaaiona. Mer ger men are found in all great move manta of the past century. Mercer Univermiiy has .played an unique THOSE GOOD OLD DAYS OF LONG AGO * Jease B. Hart Jr. 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 rose at daybreak, made fires, clean- BRITISH PERIODICALS POINT OUT DANGERS JF GREAT BRITAIN BUILDING A big Navy in competition TO UNITED STATES. 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. The following men are under ap pointment of the Southern Baptist Convention: /F. K.

They went to bed at 9 o’clock and then sawed wood for the rest of the night. With these fine prospects for students Jesse Mercer declared that there would be no want of pupils.

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.

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.
