BISHOP AINSWORTH
TALKS AT CHAPEL
Says Students Are Living To
day, Not To-morrow.
“As you are living to-day you will
in all probability live to-morrow,”
declared Bishop W. N, Ainsworth,-of
the Methodist church, at the chapel
hour Wednesday morning.
“The chances are that if you are
practicing habits of jumping the
rough places, you will be doing the
'same thing all through the journey
of life,”
Bishop, Aipsworth also emphasized
(he fact .that the kind of men that
America needs to-day are those who
avoid the spectacular things of life.
“Not all great things have been
done/' he declared. '“The greatest
things remain yet to be done. • Give
yourself to those unspectacular
thing* in life. Spectacular men have
jaded the world. " .
“Give yourself - to the reality of
things and, build all life on an im
pregnable, foundation that Will'Cause
you to solye the problems of life as
they come.
“Stand by the history of the Bap
tist church. Stand by' the interpre
tation of Baptism as you have found
to be the truth. So long as it seems
•to be the truth, that is the dnterpre
tation' of the Book of God. - •
"We‘ need men Who are in deep, de
votion to reality and will give them
selves to the God of reality and make
things what they ought, to be.'*

Dr. J. L. King, the. college physician,
where he was confined until removed

upon the newcomers. They chose’the
lesser evil, and since spanking had
been the main indignity visited Upon
the Freshmen the Sophomores were
duly spanked by a committee of
hqskyy Seniors. Mercer University
now feels that it has accomplished
something toward the abolition of the
silly practice, but no-one can be sure
of that until the next Freshman class
arrives. It is to be hoped, however,
that this year’s Freshmen, who will
then be Sophomores, will remember
and' reflect.”—Macon News.

MERCER HISTORY
It is a pleasure well worth .the time
of any Mercer man, from-' the green
est to the gravest, from the wittiest
to the wisest, from the' freshest- to
the frenziest, to go to the - Library,
ask Miss Sallie to direct you. to a
bound volume of the ’ Mercerian, and
just sit there, scan the pages and let
. it soak in. A book full of thrills and
throbs, wit and wisdom,, interwoven
with seriousness and simplicity. A
delight for every mind, With a grasp
of appreciation for, and a partially
developed sense of the spirit that
has ever manifested itself on ; The
Mercer Campus.
The Mcrcbrian is "Canned” Mercer
history. An account of the' manifold
activities of this Grand Old Institut
ion ip the bygone days- Says Waldo
Emerson: “The Becond greatest thing
in the life of a student is the mind
of the past.” |f this be true, and we
dare not refute it, what of the com
ing generation of Mercer, when Lee
Battle shall have passed into that
happy beyond? The only connection
' that the present generation has with
the past is Lee Battle’s ever-flowing
fountain of knowledge of the activi
ties pertaining to Mercer, and when
the Creator sees fit to take this
“Walking Encyclopedia' of Mercer”
out of our midst, there will be two
missing links and one will Be just as
hard to produce as the other.
Seriously, fellow, can’t, we revive
the Mercerian, oir invent some other
form of registering toe activities of
Mercer, which are greater and more
nuhteroub to-day than ;evcr before in
the history of the institution, on the
illuminating pages of histoty ? Then
in the fatitre years when toe pano
rama of Mercer unfolds to the ends
of the earth, “We’ll be right there!”
J. Artemus Ruffin.
HAZING AGAIN
The recent lesson at Mercer on
what we will call the' impropriety. of
hazing has not only had' immediate
effect, but is attracting attention
throughout the whole country. For
instance, The Philadelphia Record
says: “Mercer University at Macon,
Ga.,. has introduced an entirely new
scheme to discourage- hazing. This
“I have lived long in this valley of
tears and my head has been whitened
by hurrying years; I’ve sized up the
world as I’ve toddled along; I’ve
sampled'up the right and I’ve sam-
plcd up the wrong; I’ve herded goats
and I’ve frolicked with sheep, and
I’ve' learned how to laugh and I’ve
learned how to weep. I’ve loafed,
I’ve dreamed, I’ve whacked some
wood, and I’ut aure of this fact—it
pays to be good. Whene’er I do
wrong, with malicious intent, then I
fee) for a while like a epunterfei
cent; I would"swap myself Off for a
watch made of brass, I haven’t the
courage tp look in - the glass. But
when I do right how chesty I feel!
Thp college is Ailed with, my jubilant
spiel! I feel that a feather ia placed
in my hood,, and I guess I am right,
for it pays to be good! Oh, what are
the things of particular worth, and
what are-the prizes we. gain upon
earth ? They are not the po'ems that
go clickcty-clank; they’re not the
bundles we have in the bank. Respect
of our neighbors, the love of our
friends, some credit up there where
the Armament bends, these things are
the guerdon for which we should
strive, they give us an object, in be
ing alive. And. you’ll never gain
them as gain them you should, unless,
you believe it pays to be good.”
GET VALUE-
IT PAYS!
