BREED! \ I have never been in any of the Mediterranean countries My experience in Europe was throughout France, England, and Scotland. I never learned to speak French with any as surance; I think my nose was not built to speak French, but I w y as more at ease in London and Edinburough and able tc speak the English language fairly well. I had two experiences in Scotland; one was my trip through the lakes; another was my effort to get a shave. One morning observing that my face locked like a citizen of Harlem, I set out to find a barber. I walked up and down Princess street inquiring for a barber but there w'as no bar ber. When, at length, I found myself at the starting place a man said, “What are you look ing for?” I said, “A barber shop.” Well, he said, What do you expect to get in a barber shop? I said, a shave. “Right in here, he said, but we have no barber shop w r ,e call them hair dressers. So you see we do not always speak the same language as the British. I had one little experience in London, two experiences really I heard Dr. Jewett preach from the text, ’’When the ^on of Man cometh, shall he fin' faith on the Earth?” I went to many buildings and thereby hangs the tale, but one little experience will do: A very warm day ;n London em boldened me to ask for a glass of iced tea. The waiter brought me a glass of tea with milk and the glass was so hot I r ouid not hold it but he brought me a bowl of ice. So you see in many simple things we do not u c e the same language. 1 am not willing *o believe that our State 1 ’niversity will (< fr ‘r courses in mixed dr'rk- eigh.

HAMM Auditor, Newberry County (A readrr writes of Mr. Wildmon’t new book THOUGHTS WORTH THINKING: "Wbrs I r**4 tW fin* thought I knew the book wac in reality worth readme. All who have read aay the tfewahta have without an exception praixed it highly.For your copy. *end tZ.frS to Five Star PuWi»her», Box 1M4 Tupelo, MJm. 88801) A woman’s scream suddenly startl ed a party of surveyors at dinner in a forest in northern Virginia on a calm, sunny day in 1750. The men ran in the direction of the scream. One of the first to reach the scene was an 18* year-old. “Please, sir, please make them release me,” the woman said as several held her. “My boy is drowning, and they will not let me go to save him!” One of those holding her yelled: “It would be madness; she will jump into the river and drown herself." The young man threw off his coat, sprang to the edge of the bank, scann ed for a moment the rocks and whirl ing currents, and then, catching a glimpse of the boy, plunged into the roaring rapids. “Thank God,” the mother said, “he will save my boy!” Everyone watched as the young would- be rescuer fought the rocks and the whirlpools. Twice the rescuer disap peared from sight only to come back. He was nearing the part of the river that was the most dangerous. The rush of the waters was so dangerous at that spot that no one had ever dared ap proach it, even in a canoe. Into the middle of it he went. Penally he grab bed the boy, lifted him above the va‘er with his strong right arm. Pfut at that moment those standing on the ! orb cry in horror. Both the youth and child shoot over the falls and vanish in the seething waters below. Following a deadly few seconds, the mother shouted. “There they are 1 See! They are safe!” Soon the youth, ex hausted, and the boy, senseless, reach ed the bank. The friends were there to meet them. “God will give you a reward,” solemnly spoke the grateful woman. “He will do great things for you in return for this day’s work, and the blessings of thousands beside mine shall be yours.” We cal' it courage, that thing that made the youngster do what he did. When others refused, were afraid, calico it hopeless, he leaped into the water without thought of any danger he may face. One thing raced in his mind above everything else — there was another human who needed help. Courage is a wonderful thing. It is something that you don’t normally get overnight. You have to work at it. make it a way of life. The Carpenter had it. too. you know. He was a Man who inspired others with His courage. When they threatened Him with bodi ly harm. He stood fast. When they gave Him a choice between a lie or a cross, He chose the cross and Truth. Oh. I nearly forgot. The woman's prediction about the young man prov ed correct. Some thirty-nine years later he was installed as the first Presi dent of the new country, the United States of America. His name was George Washington. —Five Star Features Iovp making: and all tht other fol-de-rol of thp day. I like to remember Carolina as an in stitution conducted by serious scholars and young men. many of them dedicated, who are try ing to prepare themselves for the great battle of life. I assume that the trustees of the State University will not let that Institution degenerate into something of the gutter. It is said that our several col leges are no longer devoted to serious thought. It is quite possible that a study of Latin and Greek may not yield divi dends in the hurly-burly of life, hlut I doubt very much whether so serious a matter as love-making can be taught. “Life is real, life is earnest, and the grave is not its goal. Dust Thou art to dust retum- e:h was not spoken of the soul ” No, indeed! We prepare to take part in the serious con cerns of life so that at the end we may associate with *. v :e spirits of all the ages, rather than ly;ng inert in a box.
