A complete reorganisation of Ha athletic system is what the United «»%«« Page Six Mercer boys’ hopes for mote fem inine applicants . are gradually strengthened each yoar, tor two more of thoir tribe have boon added to the faculty this year. Mrs. J. L. Jssup and Mrs, Helen .T, Miller, of Muoon, have this distinction of being the third and fourth women instructors on the regular Mercer University faculty. The large increase of students tsk -^ing modern languages this year has resulted in the recent election of Mr*. Jessup as assistant French teacher. Mrs. Jessup is a graduate of Brenau College and comes to Mercer highly recommennded, having studied for some times under the careful instruc tion of Mrs. Comer, a prominent French teacher of the Wesleyan faculty. The rapid growth of the Journalism department has manifested its need of an instructor in the art of writing short stories tor, publication, so this need was indeed fortunately met in Securing the services of Mrs. Miller, whose stories are read not only in Georgia but ■ in other states. This course will be taught next term by Mrs. Miller. Students’ Friend Miss Sallie Boone and Miss Vir ginia Garner are the first two in- • atructors on the regular Mercer fac ulty. Miss Boone, Mercer librarian, has been on the regular faculty since 1918 as assistant English teacher, and wu on tbe Summer School fac ulty from 1915 to 1918. She is known and loved by every student who has attended Mercer University since her '‘debut” into the institution. . Freshmen, your days of high school will not be so clearly forgotten now; tor you enter at least one class room a week that is presided over by one of the professors of the fairer sex: One or two new wotoien instructors are added to the Summer School fac ulty each year.

A GREATER MERCER By Carl Brsome Dig deep, thou swarthy son of labor, and plant Greater Mercer's earth-cradled firm foundations; The tides of time must never shake her, ^ Lovelier, mightier shall We' make ■ her Till she shall speak in power through many nations. From the tender heart of God in righteous strength Let her granite pillars, truth-embla- fened rise; 1 For earthly walls is not her power, . Nor pointed spins her purest flower, Bat MEN, true men, within her bower Who minor the flume of Love within thoir eyM. • ■ She shall be loved and loving is a beautiful mother . Who graciously gives of herself for , her own; For they shall he n part of her, They shall know the heoit «t her. Learn true sonship’a art other, And bread she shall glue Instead of a atone.'

Hamilton’s talk to tbs Mercer students TSasday morning at chapel. Dr. Hamilton la superintendent of tbe Home Mission Board of Southern Baptist Conven tion and comas to Macon in the in terest of the Baptist city-wide revi val, holding services at the Tattnall ■are jlaptist church in thi even ings and at the chapel in the morn ings. Mr. Jamas Jslks was leader of the song services. Dr. HamOton based his talk on the second chapter of Luke three main questions in outlining the part where Jesus as a boy, was lost in the city of Jerusalem. The. first of these questions, "where did they lose Jesus t” was briefly discussed by the speaker. “They lost Him away from home in the city and they also lost Him at the place of privilege,” de clared Dr. Hamilton. “You are at the place of privilege here in this univer sity.” A Wednesday A. M. “There are four thing I want to suggest,” said Dr. Hamilton after reading a few verses from Matthew in regard to the betnyal of Jesus by Judas, “and the first of these is that the statement was made by a church member. The man who Can be of more harm to this institution is the man who professes to be a Christian but is a traitor,” declared the speaker "Ij the second place he waa selling the name of Jesus, and thirdly, ho sold out tor a small price,” added Dr. Hamilton. “Men, the greatest vic tory a man gets is when he ia victori ous over his own sin through the Lord Jesus Christ” In speaking of the fourth sugges tion, the results of his selling his God for thirty pieoee of silver, Dr. Hamil ton stated that we could hardly think of what it meant to him, to the other disciples, to all men, and to God. 'Men, are you willing to put out the thing that is wrong T” was the ques tion the speaker left with the stu dents. Thursday A, M. “That man’s choices had bean sin ful and worldly” was the first of Dr. Hamilton’s reasons -why Jeans re fused to answer Herod’s q Ho further stated that this man never saw Jeans before, hut he was against Him before be saw Him. "He went with the wrong crowd,” is the second reason given by the speaker. “He silenced religious im pressions” was the third reason given. This last reason is explained by * man who knows he is landing n sinful life but will not change. “This man looked upon Joans as n sort of cariosity,” said tbs speaker. In illustrating this reason Dr. Hamil ton told the story of n boy at Rugby who was leading the wrong lift and was told that he would have to leave. At an earnest request by the boy ho was allowed’to stay’ on probation. After making good he waa naked how he succeeded in overoumiag his wrongs at Rugby. As an explanation he told of horning the letter “R" in the palm of his hand ao whan wrong presented itself he wotild set the let ter and think of Rugby. In conclusion Dr. Hamilton said, “Men, I can-tall yon somralng batter than that Print the Croea of Jesus in the palm of yoar hand. 1 THANKS— To OUR Adverttoem! -Yon are harking Merer by 1 using Tim Cluster as a trade- polling medium.
