Description: THE NORMAL ADVANCE77§, M. anb §. OTL C 9.r. AT. 6. 4, PREACHMENTS.WORK is one thing, worry another.
How do you spend your Sundays?A rolling stone gets its rough corners worn
off.The fellow that aint got time gets the least
work done.Dont put it off till the end of the term. It
doesnt work.Did you hear the lecture on the geography
of Palestine?O, I forgot! is what the telegraph opera¬
tor said after the wreck.What do you think about the chronic bulletin
board loafer?Rest is change of activity. Come to the Y.
M. C. A. meetings one hour each week.Do you meet friends or just merely fellow
students as you pass through the halls?Think last of your grades. Its what you
know, and not what a prof, thinks you know,
that counts.Think of your own faults the first half of
the night and of the faults of others the sec¬

just talk
about the profs. Apparent ingratitude and
lack of appreciation inspires them wonderfully.Its no disgrace to slip on a banana peel. But

mixed audience, cut it out of your repertoire.
You may gain a laugh from the fellows with

meditation and in accumulating personal
power. The other shepherds kept at their work
below. Some students go up to the Y. M. Hall
on Tuesday afternoon to meditate and get a
new vision of life and its opportunities. Others
keep at their work below.Then let us pray that the Y. M. speaker
may get an inspiration when he holds forth to
a small per cent of the 167 men of the school.
Or better yet, lets inspire him by increasing
