It does not pay to worry If things are going wrong; You may as well be pleasant— Meet trouble with a song.

What’s the use of kicking those Who’re just about to fall ? . If you do not care to help them Don’t mention -them at all.

Jones of Presbyterian College Tells Mitchell Graduates Destinies Are in Their Own Hands. (From Statesville Landmark) - The sixty-seventh commencement of Mitchell College came to an end Tues day evening with a memorable ad dress by Dr. F. D. Jones, professor of philosophy and Bible at Presbyterian College, Clinton, S. C. Establishing the thesis that within the compass of natural limitations the individual can be what he wills to be, Dr. Jones enjoined the members of the grad uating class to make their choice of what they would be in accordance with the dictates of their inner na tures, disregarding the pressure of external influences. Dr. D. M. Dou glas, president of the Presbyterian College, who was scheduled to make the address, was unable to come. Dr. Jones is the articulate philoso pher. In the grasp of his intellect philosophy is something more than the passive explanation of the pheno mena of consciousness; it is a live and constructive science ministering to the needs of human life. The ad dress of Dr. Jones was at once pro found and brilliant, illuminating and inspirational. ^ The exercises were opened with an invocation by Dr. C. M. Richards, of Davidson, chairman of the board of trustees of Mitchell College. The in troduction of the speaker was made by Dr. C. E. Raynal, pastor of the First Presbyterian church. The in vocation was preceded by a piano number by Miss Margaret Pennington and an organ number by Miss Lucile Tharpe. The address follows in part: “I wish to speak to you this even ing,” began Dr. Jones, **upon the sig nificance and meaning of choice. Men are put to it today to differen tiate between humankind and the ani mal kingdom. It is the crown of humankind that it has the power and the gift of choice. Man alone has tools for the use of his hands, a lan guage by means of which he may make known his intentions and desires and communicate with his fellows, and possession of a consciousness that permits him to say I. He can choose as no other living creature can. “The stars and constellations in the heavens move upon a fixed schedule and never for a moment step aside from the appointments arranged for them. At any time the individual I may step off into the direction he wills to. Spring follows winter; sum mer follows spring; fall follows sum mer; and winter follows fall. There can be no change in the succession and sequence of the seasons. They come and go according to predeter mined and unchanging natural lawn. Even the winds, which blow where they listeth, are governed by the same predetermined and inflexible causes. “It is reserved for us alone to de termine our destinies. Man has his significance because he can choose, and because of this fact he has creat ed his civilization, his art, his litera ture, his governments, his culture. In every sphere there is the option of choice for man; he can choose for or against. * He can choose for or against God. It lies in us to be autonomous and self-operative creatures. “We can choose' for or against the standards of the society in which we live; we can choose for or against the high duties and destinies set be fore us by God. It is true that the choice is restricted by certain given limitations.” Under the head of natural limitations, Dr. Jones named race, nationality, sex, physical and moral inheritance. “Foreordination and predestination do' not affect choice. The limitations of which I have spoken, those natural limitations, are everything that is foreordained and predestined in our PPpHeEj lives. The limitations are at the starting point, not along the course of the race. Given certain factors in science, mathematics, physics and chemistry, you may know with assur ance the results to anticipate. It is not thus with you. Each of you repre sents a new and fresh starting-point. Entering into that starting-point are race, nationality, environment, educa tion, and more. “It is of tremendous significance thft what you are made up of in ad vance does not determine what yon are to be in Hie future. To begin with, you can choose your habits. By repeated choice they become mors than habits; they become a part of your life. Each day of your life you come to the divided road: the road of right and the road of wrong, the road of indifference and the road of activ ity, the road of moral recreancy and failure and the road of rectitude and virtue, the road of self and the road of service. The choice of alternatives faces us every hour that we live. “You have it in your power to ereatp good character; you have it in your power to be what you will be. Every member of this audience be fore me is the mature and moulded character that they willed to be; they are what they are of their own choos ing. What you are to be will be the measure of your, incentives and of your fixed and constant aspirations. College life has shaped your intelli gence, given you preferences in the matter of tastes, broadened your hori zon, thus enabling you to choose with greater ease. “I hope no one has attempted to decide for you what you will do with your life. Your life is your own. Do what you would with it. It is your own prerogative. If your parents or* teachers have undertaken to make a choice for you, they have undertaken the impossible.” ' v ; '*'■ PRESBYTERIANS, WOULD STOP BOUT SATURDAY Grand Rapids, Mich., May 29.—The governor, of Indiana will be urged to use the full authority of his offce prevent the Gibbons-Carpenter box ing match scheduled to be held at Michigan City, Indiana, next Satur day, under a resolution unanimously adopted at today’s session of the 136th Presbyterian general assebly. •'m crrii 11— l - 1 fr-—* l"r-— 1 f Enli cE? f Erll cr±f EjidTrEU r-r? fcrEJcr-l L * y Remarkable Values In An Assured Vogue for Summer Dress Linens, regularly $1 yd 79c A big color range in this pre-shrunk- en, non-crushable linen, for Summer washable frocks. - SUITING, Linen Finished, guaran teed colors, green, copen, special.. 39c This yard Suiting launders beautiful ly and does not wrinkle easily. 40-Inch Printed Voile, attractive pat terns in a wide choice.. 50c, 75c, $1.00 33-Inch Tub Silks .. $1.75 In a pretty assortment of stripes.
