HOROSCOPE
by Prof. William C. Becks:
When we go to New York City we*
' look for the places of fame. Wherr"
we go to Paris we think about the

city. Bringing-, our views nearer

may take a flight to Seneca and there

School that has put as many men and
women of high rank out in the. world
as any other school of its kind.
-East-year, we might say, this coTI
1 leg0 was sick unto death. With a
disease that has killed many schools
i low- financial pressure. After tit.
r Clack had given it up to die, the.
- Trustees searched the country for a
doctor that would?try- and--cure?this
school of this dreaded disease. It
- seemed imrmsiuble to?6od?n?nnmno- -
I tent physician in the state who would
attempt to raise it. Everyone feared
he migh take the same disease and
die with the school. God directing
everything, caused the Trustees to
write to Dr. J. D. Bryan of Florida, a
physician of much (experience1. He
caijip and gave the school a light dose
' because it was on a diet of bad gossip.
This seemed to do no good what
ever. Then he decided to give ft a
dose of kill or cure, and to our surprise
it turtied far better,?Now the
I College has been ordered to throw
I away the crutches and pick up its
bed and walk.
! It is now opt of danger and is doing
fine. While many other schools
have passed away.
'1 Dr. Bryan has prescribed a prescription
tn build up-the-health of the
, college. This prescription is to be
presented February 12, 1931, 10:30 Aj

that he lias an education. Is ,
this true? It is.as far from being ,

There are so many people who are
