SOME MEN SHOULD PUT THEMSELVES ON HIGHER PLANE Should Cut Themselves From the Materialistic Things of Life and Answer Call of Jesus. Dr. Paul V. Kern, Dean of the School of Theology of Southern Meth- odist University speaking in Guion Hall Sunday morning said that some men must desist in their efforts and intentions for material wealth only, must accept the teachings of Jesus | Christ and become prophets of an ideal world. He took his text from Matthew, 4:19, “And He saith unto them, fol- low me, and I will make you fishers of men.” The task of Jesus was to redeem the world. He came to the shore of the sea of Galilee and found four men, Peter, Andrew, James and John en- gaged in fishing, one of the common occupations of life, and said come with me, we will go out in the great adventure and do a larger business. The first thing Jesus did was to call these four men away from one ideal of life, from a task with the neces- sity of feeding the world. Jesus said leave your boats and nets and go with me to a larger task and they went. The call of Jesus today to men is the same. Before we can follow him, be- fore we can save our generation we must understand the call of Christ is away from certain ideals of life. One of the most insidious dangers that can creep into our life today is the possibility that we will be con- tent to live in a circumscribed area where we are familiar, that we shall never look beyond these limits, that we shall grow provincial. Men should be heroic enough to ask themselves if they were meant for larger ser- vice. Men must certainly fish and engage in the tasks that will furnish food and clothing for the bodies of the millions, but just as surely others must go out into a larger world and leave forever behind them the in- tellectual and physical limitations of narrow confines. ; We can not answer the call unless we realize that we must leave some- thing else, that we must cut off from an industrial future. Though it is hard to say, it is nevertheless true that there must be men who will cut themselves from the predominant materialistic things of life, who must pitch themselves on a plane other than a material life. We need, not men who can make money but more men who can make more men and women. Some must take the big ad- venture, must make other things sec- ondary, and follow in the wake of Him who held the world in his hand. The best work in the world is nev- er paid for, the best things done can- not be measured.

In the box he showed strength that few would have the audacity to rate above anything the St. Louis Cardi- nals or Philadelphia Athletics ex- hibited on the same diamond a few weeks ago, and at bat he placed one against the right field fence, as good a one as has ever been bingled out at a game here. In the same half he got another clean hit for three bases. A streak of luck gave the Aggies the first scores of the game, their first time in. Lackey was walked and got a second on Lewis’ sacri- fice. Matthews was safe on first base ‘by an error te pitcher, Higgin- botham lived in’ a sacrifice hit, -and all three came home on Glezen’s hit into right field. .. aia Texas started their scoring in the third when two errors and a long hit into left field put two men across the home plate for them. In the same inning Higginbotham lived on second when the left field- er failed to receive his long fly and came home when Smith hit one on the ground along the third base line. The Longhorns started their real work in the fourth when a home run, a series of singles and errors and two and three base hits allowed them to make nine scores. Higginbotham gave up the box, swapping places with Matthews, when it seemed that nothing could stop the heavy slugging of the Longhorns. The Aggies worked in one more score in the fifth, and held the Long- horns to three more which came one each in the fifth, eighth and ninth.
