COMMENT
on
Men & Things
By J. K. 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.

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.

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.
