DR. JO. REAVIS ADDRESSES Y. M. C. A. Speaks on the Great World Move ments of the Present Age-The Opportunities to Christianity. The weekly meeting of the Y. M. C. A. in Flinn Hall Wednesday evening was addressed by Dr. J. 0. Reavis, pastor of the First Presby terian church of this city. Dr. Reavis was for a number of years secretary of the mission board of the Presbyterian church and is, therefore, familiar, as few men are, with the present condition of the foreign field. In beginning, the speaker referred to the great world movements of the present age-the commercial, educa tional, political and moral re forms that follow each other with remark able rapidity in the history of all, but especially the Oriental nations. China, Japan, India, Turkey-all are awake, and the political changes now being enacted in those countries have been preceded by commercial, educa tional and moral reform. Vhat has brought about these tremendous up heavals? They are the slow results of American and English ideals planted there by their missionaries. The whole world, then, is astir and plastic. It is Christianity's op portunity to direct and control the silent forces that will inevitably pro duce gigantic results in the Oriental nations. It is within the pro-vince of every college man of today to have a powerful influence in these coun tries which need his help. He may take some part in bringing about commercial changes that will give them at least an equal chance with other nations in exporting their nat ural products to foreign ports. He may be active in securing political change that will insure to each citi zen the protection of the government under wlhich he lives. He may in augurate much needed change in the educational system. And he may take some part, however humble, in bringing these nations, with their millions of people, under Christian influence. .

W. extends her good wishes to "The Bird." If we should offer a Thanksgiving toast to you, though we realize that it is rather late for such, we vould say in all sincerity with old Rip Van \Vinkle, "May you live long and prosper." Speaking of Thanksgiving re minds us tlat that long-wished-for holiday has already slipped 'back into "yesterday's seven thousand years." Ve simply can't realize it. But we all had a mighty good time. Our Thanksgiving dinner was something worth remembering. In fact it was quite imposing in its five courses. The pig caused some excitement and so did the picture man who took sev eral "flashlights" of the dining room. Quite a good many of the girls tms tered up courage enough to make toasts, original and otherwise, and thereby received much applause. It was really a very delightful (lay and one very pleasantly spent. But by Saturday night the College was very much deserted. Nearly all of the girls spent that week-end at home, which, I am afraid, shows rather a commercial spirit, though some say it was merely the spirit of Thanksgiving. Anyway, we had a jolly time and that is all that is necessary. We had a rather nice little affair here some few nights ago. A mas querade ball was given in the dining hall, and many and varied were the characters who attended. Some of the costumes were very fetching. We only wish that the attendance could have been larger and more varied. Needless to say it was a great dis appointment to us not to be able to see "The Girl of the Golden West." We had been counting strong (if we may use a Gamecock expression) on seeing that opera. Ve are rather fond of the theatre. Let us hope for better luck next time. A. G. McC.
