MR. JOHN McSWEEN ADDRESSES Y. M. C. A. Former Carolina First Baseman Speaks on "Real Self-Sacrifice" at Weekly Meeting. John McSween, a former Caro lina man, now a member of the senior class of the Presbyterian sem inary in this city, addressed the reg ular meeting of the Y. M. C. A. in the chapel on Wednesday evening. His talk was very much enjoyed by those present. It was a heart-to heart talk from a young man to L young men. Those who were not present missed a talk that was schol Sarly, highly instructive and pleas ingly delivered. Mr. McSween chose as his subject, US "Real Self-sacrifice." Many of us look upon this thing of self-sacrifice in an entirely wrong light, said Mr. McSween. We pass a soda foun tain and have a desire for a "dope." We pass on, however, and on the next day drop that nickel into the collection plate at church, and think ourselves. righteous and self-sacri ficing. This . is not true sacrifice. While we have given something up, still we have not had to undergo any real sacrifice. True self-sacrifice is the denying of one's self for his fellowman; not the mere casting aside of some triv ials habit or pleasure, as in the above illustration. In closing, the speaker illustrated true self-sacrifice by citing an in stance from the life of Christ. He who could have been born in the homes of the rich, chose the home of the poor, to be born in a manger, in order that he might be better and more willingly understood by the lowly. This was real self-sacrifice, not because He was born among the poor, but because He gave up every thing, even His home above, to come to earth to minister to men, suffering the hardships and persecutions of this world for man's sake. The next meeting wvill be ad dIressed by either Professor Ward law or Mr. Bethea, a p;rominlent law yer of this city. Definite announce ment wvill be made later. Law Exams.
