MR. PRESSLY SPEAKS
IN CHAPEL.
Reverend Leon T. Pressly gave a
very interesting talk in chapel
Wednesday morning. His theme
was taken, from the second chapter
of Corinthians, from v/hich he
brought out many beautiful and
helpful thoughts. He compared
man to a writing pen, showing how
God uses us for writing records.
He told us how necessary it is for
us to keep our records clean, there
fore enabling God to purify our
hearts from all evil things and re
stamping them with love, kind
ness, truth, honesty, and all the
things that up hold the world, and
in the end enabling us to live a
worthy life.

his faults which could not be con

JUNIORS WRITE ESSAYS
ON AGE OF QUEEN ANNE.
For the past two weeks the Jun
iors have been studying men and
manners of the age of Queen Anne
as depicted in the essays by Joseph
Addison and Richard Steele. These
essays, which appeared in the Tat-
ler and the Spectator, two of the
earliest newspapers, center around
one man. Sir Roger de Coverley.
The Juniors have written essays on
the characteristics of this, old
gentleman. Following is one of the
essays:
Sir Roger de Coverley
In the age of Queen Anne, in
the early eighteenth century, cer
tain elements in Modern life and
certain forms of literature that are
familiar to us today were started.
The chief characteristic of this
age was urbanity. Newspapers al
so saw their beginning in this age.
In this age society was still
divided into three classes.
Sir Roger de Coverley was a
country squire living in England.
He was well known and liked
throughout England and London.
He was a member of the Specta
tor’s Club which was composed of
men from some of the best famil
ies in England.
Other members of this club be
side Sir Roger, himself were: The
Lawyer from the Inner Temple, Sir
Andrew Freeport, a very important
merchant in the city of London,
Captain Sentry, a gentleman of
great courage and good under
standing. Will Honeycomb, a very
philosophic man of great learning,
and last but still very important
in connection with / the story,
Joseph Addison and Richard
Steele, editors of the Tatler and
Spectator—the two interesting pa
pers.
Since you are now acquainted
with Sir Roger and several of his
best friends I will now give you
several of his many characteris
tics.
According to Addison and Steele,
Sir Roger had traveled quite a
great deal, therefore he had had
th6 opportunity to learn the ways
of the world and to provide him
self with such an interesting and
large vocabulary as to make him
self capable of rendering such an
interesting talk that he could hold
anyone’s attention.
T n spite of this Sir Roger was a
very peculiar man. For instance,
when he went to church he requir
ed his Chaplain to read the serm
on. cometimes he would be fin
ishing a song half a minute after
the rest were through. If a prayer
pleased him very much he would
-ay “amen” two or three times.
Sometimes when everyone else was
on his knees he would stand up
and look over the congregation to
ijee il any of his tenants were
miss mg.
He v/as kind to everyone and al
ways made friends wherever he
chanced to go. Every one of his!
servants loved him and they never
were ashamed to show their devo
tion to him.
One of his greatest faults was
his bashfuiness

It is dangerous business, then, to use
medicines _ containing harsh drugs,
salts or minerals, when we are con

of injuring the linings cf our digestive
system, these medicines give only tem

Chevrolet Coach
Wins Economy Run
LOS ANGELES, Mar. 31.—Com
peting against a field of 41 other
entrants, a 1930 Chevrolet six
cylinder coach, driven by Mrs. Paul
A. Lawrence of Los Angeles, won
the sweepstakes and first place in
its class in the annual Gilmore
Blue-Green Economy run here
February 14.
Every type of road and grade
was encountered in the run that
covered 200 miles betwen Los
Angeles and the Wrightwood
mountains. Mrs. Lawrence’s Chev
rolet demonstrated its economical
operation over a course that in
cluded city traffic, country roads
and mountain stretches along a
circuitous route rising from sea
level to an elevation of 6,000 feet.
To win the event, the Chevrolet
coach traveled 36.71 ton-miles to
the gallon of gasoline, averaging
20.5 miles to the gallon for the 200
miles traversed. The total weight
of the Chevrolet coach, with its
driver and four passengers, was
3580 pounds. No oil and no water
was used during the run.
The economy test was staged un
der the supervision of the Ameri
can Automobile Association, sanc
tion number 2306 and was limited
to stock cars. Six classes of cars
were represented among the 42 en
tries. The Chevrolet coach, with
Mrs. Lawrence at the wheel, not
only won first place in its class,
but, in addition, won the sweep-
stakes for all classes.

Churches Asked
To Aid In Illit-
eracy Drive
WASHINGTON, D .C., April 1.—
An appeal has been issued by Sec
retary of the Interior to all evang
elical organizations to join in the
drive to eliminate illiteracy. The
shocking facts of illiteracy are
called to the attention of these
church organizations at this time
because the annual meetings of
most of them take place in the
spring and it is hoped that those
meetings will prepare for active
participation in the campaign
sponsored by the government. The
letter of the Secretary of the In
terior reads, in part:
“I am presenting an appeal to all
of the evangelical bodies in the
nation, urging that through their
organizations they shall lend an
active and hearty support to this
undertaking (reduction of illiter
acy.)
“The 1920 Census reported 4,-
931,905 persons ten years of age
and over, unable to write in any
language. The Bureau of the
Census says that this number
comprises ‘only those persons who
have had no education whatever.’
Only three million of these are
whites, of whom 1,242,572 are na
tive born. The negro illiterates
number 1,842,161; the foreign born
1,763,740. These are sheer illiter
ates. The number of persons un
able to read the Bible with under
standing, or to write a letter is
variously estimated from fifteen
million to twenty million.
“The task of the National Ad
visory Committee on Illiteracy is
to awaken a nation-wide interest
in teaching the sheer illiterates to
read and write. It is estimated
that there are three million people
verbally blind, who would read the
Bible if they had the ability to do
so. The blunt statement of the
facts carries its own appeal. I
would greatly appreciate your pre
senting to the proper authorities
the situation, in the hope that
some action may be taken by your
body at its spring session, looking
toward the creation of an inter
est and the awakening of the
spirit of co-operation in this en
deavor to open the eyes of the mil
lions in this Christian land, whose
knowledge of the Bible must be
acquired at the present time, sole- J
ly through listening to others
read.”
John D. Rockefeller has recently
contributed $10,000 to be used in j
the campaign for the elunination ;
of illiteracy.
