Calla way, pastor of the Tabernacle church whol eaves for Chattanooga, Tennes see. Rev. Cailaway delivered a very helpful as.well as interesting talk to the students. TJ>e speaker said that on one oc casion when, he was m another town he was introduced to a man by the name of Callaway and remarked: “I am always glad 9 to meet any one by the name of Callaway, unless they have been in the penitentiar>.” The man seemed very unconcerned, not even smiling. “You have played it. now Callaway,”- said one of his friends afterwards, “that man has just gotten out of the "pen”- for whisky making and his son is in jail now for breaking in the depot.” “Christ is mentioned- as seven things,” Rev. Callaway pointed out after reading the first chapter of John, and the first of these is Deity. Then Creator. L fe, Light,- King, Sa vior, and the last is that he i« out shining Exaqiple. “There are menTiTd women dying in sin around us today” concluded the speaker in telling of the great work before all Christians today. “Men let us gb out and save them.” Robert E. Lee, in .addressing the stu- dtnts Wednesday morning on what may be suitably called “Citizenship.” The speaker added that he hoped Mercer University was a . school built upon power of character and power of ideals. “Each student should ask himself the question: What?” said the speaker. “What are you going to -do‘after you leave Mercer? What of-citizenship?”’ “Unless you are a good citizen in the greatest sense the' word your life Will be a failure,” .he declared. “We have got to rise up.to our re sponsibilities of citizenship day after ■ lay-” Rev. Ia*e then spoke of the de fects 1 of the judicial system, saying that one. of the greatest was that of the best citizens evading the juries which should not be so. “Go forth from this place with ideals of service” declared the speak er in his Concluding remarks. “The place for- you to serve is as a citizen. Strive to make a pattern -of citizen ship on earth more like the pattern of- citizenship in Heaven.” poultry show with him. At the show they saw a rooster represented as talking to a brood of chickens, -Mr. Holmes proceeds to tell Mr. Longfellow what the rooster is say ing to the chickens, giving a parody on “The Psalm of Life” which will be found elsewhere in this issue. This got the students in a roar of laugh ter,, each verse seemingly more ri diculous. “Longfellow was one of those sweet Christian characters,” said the speaker in talking of his dear old friend. Whittier and Emerson were also great friends of Dr. Conwell. “Mr. Emerson was a deep thinker and a great writer," added the speak Wednesday'A.

From the time he-entered the j door of the chapel until the opening; song there was constant cheering i throughout the student body, a more J enthusiastic applaus-- -coming from j those who were so fortunate as to get, a chance to hear him Wednesday eve I ning at the .First church. j “Mr. Holmes .was a great- lever of I chickens,’’ said Dr. Conwell. The, speaker added that one day Mr. Hol mes invited Mr. Longfellow, a very eminent friend of his, to go to a Dr. Conwell gave as his greatest reason for telling of these great writers that it was the birthday of Macon’s beloved and celebrated writer.
