Football Playing Pastor Wel
comed in -Chapel,
By J. P. Leggett
Dr. William Russell Owen, pastor
of the First Baptist church,. ad
dressed the Mercer students at chapel
hour Tuesday morning, on “The
Cowardice of Compromise.” The
speaker is popular with the student
body' and is always welcomed at
Mercer. ' ' -
“Go on with the fight even when
all hope is gone,” said Dr. Owen, and
continued: “Little Belgium fought
valiantly to hold back the soldiers of
Germany, even though knowing thgt
their struggle was vain. There was
absolutely ■ no compromise. ‘No com
promise’ is the message , that is re
sounding throughout the world today
and if we are to be true to Cod',
there must be no cpmpromise:"
The speaker showed that if life at
college, is dominated by the coward
ice of compromise, then the. after life
will be a failure; but if the life is
dominated by the courage of consent,
the after life will clje placed on
higher plane and will be a success.

HOLD ’EM RIGHT THERE!
Linea by Milton {Wallace)
If I were blessed - with a facile
tongue, and a leather bag instead of
a lung, and a line of bull that couldn’t
be beat, I’d make a' speech so dog
gone neat that the world would stand
in silent awe; they’d think me the
best they.ever saw! But as I can’t,
I’ll content myself to sit me down
and wait- on. the shelf, until Old
Father Time comes skipping along,
and puts an end to my woeful song.
But sometimes I wonder if it ain 1
best that after all I wasn’t blest with
line of bull and a facile tongue
and a leather bag instead of a lung.
For it’s tiresome to me to have to
sit and listen to these birds who are
so wisely lit, with all the knowledge
of this here earth, as they reel and
roar like the angry surf. I’d rather
sit and read, you bet, in a shady
place with a Police Gazette; I’d
rather play the Barn-Yard Blues on
the fonygraf if 1 could choose, than
to listen all night to W. J. Brine and
his grape-juice speech, though they
say it’s fine.
'd rather be a friend to man than
to walk at the head of a big brass
band, and bore the folks with my line
of talk, until they'd pray for me to
balk; I’d rather receive the silent
cheers than the tiresome yawns and
the hissing sneers behind the speak
er’s roaring applause of the folks
who cheer him just because.
In Nubibus
I scorn at death and drink the fire
Of unassumed disdain.
I laugh add, laugh, I cannot cease,
, I try, but all in vain.
The slimy serpent hi the moss
Shrinks off , in mortal fear.
I stand upon the water’s edge
And sneer and sneer and sneer!
Wild cries of condors’thrill my soul
With unknown horrors of the night
While fighting apes curse in the
frees ^
And add burdens to my plight.
What means those gleaming eyes
above ?
Ill- omens to- my wretched soul!
•They pause, they spring and wicked
fangs
Are fastened deep in their death
hold.
I feel the pain, the rush of blood,
. I struggle on my knees.
“Wake up there, John, you sonofa
. „ gun!
You ate too much cheese!’’
By F. R. Nalls, Jr.
“The best preventive of disease is
good health,” said Dr. M. A. Clarke
n his' a'ddress to the Mercer students
chapel Wednesday morning.
There is no excuse for anyone, hav
ing typhoid fever now that medical
men have perfected a serum which
can prevent it. The day will come
when there will be no tuberculosis,
although 1 do not expect to live, to
see it.”’
Dr. Clarke urged all men who had
not' taken the serum for typhoid
lever to go down and o so as soon as
possible, and said that everybody
should be required to take this injec
tion. “Some people,” said the doctor,
think the doctors tell them to ta’ke
the serum just to drum .up trade, but
we get more money out of one case
of typhoid fever than' out of a hun
dred cases where we give the injec
tion to prevent it. The primary pur
pose of every true doctor is to pre
vent sickness. When there is sick
ness, of course we try to cure it, but
1 would he happy to have no more
disease. I could find some other way
of working.”
Dr. Clarke is chairman of the ex
ecutive committee of the • Mercer
Board of Trustees, and has been
member of this board for a number
of years. His earnest, plain-spoken
talk reached the hearts of the Mercer
men, and quite a number of them
stated after Chapel that they intend
ed to take the typhoid serum.
BESSIE TIFT NEWS
90 ENTERTAIN
MRS. EMMETT STEPHENS
The Woman’s Missionary Society
of the Tattnall Square Baptist church
will .entertain Mrs. Emmett Stephens
and the wives, mothers and sisters of
all the married students of Mercer,
Monday, January 30, at 3:30 o’clock,
in the Sunday School auditorium.
There will be no cards so this is the
invitation, ladies, and remember , all
.are invited.
It has been very , quiet at the col
lege the past week owing, to mid
year examinations that are now
progress and extend into next week.
There is but one topic of conversa
tion and but one thought pervades
the atmosphere—examinations.
An event transpired last week in
which the college takes a just pride.
Dr. Foster was away' on business,, of
which we knew nothing until on the
first morning after his return he an
nounced in chapel that Bessie Tift
College had been taken-in the Ameri
can Association of Colleges. It then
developed he had been in Chicago at
tending a meeting of this association.
The announcement was received with
hearty applause.
* • •
No club at the college has pro
voked • more widespread interest
among the students than, the Inter
national Relations Club, which is ex
pecting to extend its work by intro
ducing a series of lectures on citizen
ship to the students. The need for a
study of this subject was made nec
essary by the passage of the Amend
ment. It will be very instructive to
young ladies to hear well' known
speakers on this subject. .
• •' • ‘ •
One addition has been made to
Bessie Tift that all feel is a great
improvement. “The Little Store’” has
been moved into new and far more
commodious quarters. It is far more
attractive, as another room has been
fitted up as a tea room. Dainty cur
tains at the windows, stands of ferns
and the small tables placed about the
room give them a splendid oppor
tunity for small social functions!
Those in charge will take orders for
these functions and they have been
enabled also to greatly increase their
stock in the- store. It is a great con
venience and promises to be ' very
popular.
One of the best student programs
of the semester was given on Tues-,
day night in college chapel by mem
bers of the Senior class in. Expression
and Music, pupils of Miss’ Ulmer in
Expression and . Miss Dora Brinson
and Miss; Madge Books Sanders in
Mush:. Their work on the rostrum
bespoke ’ splendid instruction oh the
part of their teachers and faithful
endeavor and earnest effort on their
part.. It was a Varied program, giv
ing wide rahge for their talent, end
received as it - merited a sympathetic
response from the audience. There
was nothing butt praise from the
listeners for each number.
