Dr. Wardlaw Opens Life Work
Series
Speaking oi the "Principles that should
guide a studont in the choice of his pro
tession" Dr. Patterson Wardlaw of the
University iaculty opened last Wedlnes
day night the series of lectures which
the "Y" will present on the choice of a
life work. This series will extend over
into January, a lecture being given every
Wednesday night at the chapel in Flinn
Haill. The purpose of these lectures
will be to aid the students in deciding
what they are going to do when their
college days are over..
Dr. Wardlaw prefaced his talk by the
statement that the three most important
decisions in a mall's life were his choice
of God, of a mate, and of anl occupation.
Thon lie added that the third was as
important as the second, for "What are
you goin to do with a Wife if you can't
support her?" lie then overthrew the
idea that certain vocations are high and
certain are low ; along honest Vocations
there is iio high or low: where one caoi
do the most good is the highest calling
ior that particular one.
The speaker then frankly said that
the principles which should guide a mall
ill the choice of lis life Work should le
the Christian principle: the desire to
benefit society ought to make us seize tile
opportunity of doing the greatest good.
"Every busi,ness is for the sake of serv
ing society else it has no right to ex
ist."
)r. Wardlaw's main talk was devoted
to enumerating the thillg. which should
glide one ill deciding this important ques
tioll. First, (mie ought to enter a pro
fessin:1 where lie caln make an honest
living ; and there is something wrong
sOlliewhere if one can not make a living
ill an holIest vocation. Second, the fit
nleSs for tIle oCcul)ation suld be cA1
siderc-d: physica, mental training. Thell,
one ought to enter a work where there
is the greatest social need; there are
several professions which are over
cr.)wded. l4astly, a man shouild consider
hi taste a:ml native liking.

Christmas Tree
The Y. M. andI Y. WV. arc jplannIing to
give a C'hirtsmas Tfree onl 'Ale 20thl for
ab)out fifty boys and girls of the city
wvho wVould( not ordinlarhy have any
Christmas. This has heenl done for sev
eral years andl itlging lm th,, smiles .,C
the faces of the boys and girls (as well
as the students) it is one of the best
things that the two organizations "puli"
during the year. The Tree with all of
its glitter and sparkle is onough to ex
cite the enthusiasm of anyone; the whole
occasion is one of joy and yet it has
a mixture of pathos and humor about it
that makes the students realize wherei
lies the ,happiness of life. Last year
one little boys walked two miles be
cause he missed the car!
Sometime dnext week the students of
the University will be given the oppor
timity to contribute to the fund to buy
the presents.. It costs about fify cens
for each child, and it is surprising how
far Mi-. Bell can stretch fifty cents!
This is a student body affair and every
student is invited to participate i.n thw
festivaties of the occasion. Come down
to Flinn Hall and have a good time be
ing little again. (Too bad we haven't
Fatty Humphres to act as Santa Claus.)

Blue Ridge Club
On Saturday evening, December 1,the
Blue Ridge Club held its second meet
ing at Flitin Hall. Due to the genero
sity of R. M. Hope a very delightful
oyster supper was :served before any
business was taken ill). As the members
gathered arotud the table the Blue Ridge
spirit and appetite seemed to come hack,
especially in the case fo Tom McCut
cheon who naturaly called for a second
order.
A fter every one had eaten a sufficiency
several matters of importance were
brought up. The president of the club.
MIr. Thomas, first called for reports
lrom the Bible classes of the city who
had aided in sending men to the col
fero:ice last summer.
). 1). Johnson reported that the
AgO!a Bible class of the First Baptist
Church was well pleased with the reports
of its representatives to the conference
last June. He further stated that this
class was going to send at least four
men to Blue! Ridge again next summer.
There were no definite reports from
the other Bible classes but it is almost
certain that several of them will aid in
sending men to tle next conference in
June.
The club decided to put on a campaign
fir the purpose of increasing the mem
hers -f Carolina's delegatioi at liic
Ridge( netxt year. Twenty-five menl were
set as the goal to be reached betw'%I 11,v
and June.
There were fourteen Carolina men at
the conference last year and every one
of them has expressed his desire to re
turn again..
We hope that all who canl possibly d >
So Will make preparations to go to Blue
Ridge next summer. Anyone who has
ever been there will tell youi (hat the
tenl days spent at this conference marks
a tiic in his life that can never be foI
gotten.
