Y. M. C. A. NOTES.
There is a much larger attendance
at Sunday school here this year than
ever before. There are enrolled about
two hundred men, or about one-fourth
of the corps. A much greater inter
est is being shown in the class work
than in former years also.
The same thing might be said of
the interest manifested in Y. M. C. A.
meetings during the current term
Last Sunday we heard a sermon
from what might be termed one of our
local pastors. Rev. H. B. Carroll of
Navasota preached an interesting as
well as an instructive sermon at the
morning services. The breadth and
strength of his appeal to the members
of the so-called non-Christian world
was unusual. He used the term non-
Christian world in reference to those
people whose daily life does not lead
them into contact with Christian in
fluences.
Dr. S. P. Brooks, president of Baylor
University at Waco, will preach the
chapel sermon here on Sunday, De
cember 13. Dr. Brooks enjoys a wide
reputation for being an extraordinary
ly entertaining speaker, and we should
consider ourselves fortunate in having
an opportunity to hear him.
Rev. H. B. Carroll, who also con
ducted the morning services, spoke
at the Y. M. C. A. meeting last Sun
day night. He took for his theme,
“The Reproduction of the Good Points
of Our Lives in Others,” and develop
ed it very forcibly.
EXPOSITION LITTLE INJURED.
When the war broke out in Europe
many people saw in that event the
upsetting of a great many of the plans
for the San Francisco Exposition.
After three months have passed
since the beginning of hostilities, it is
gratifying to note that only a few
minor plans have had to be set aside,
and the original program will take
place as advertised.
The exhibition buildings of the four
great Nations now at war were 90
per cet completed when the conflict
began, and not one of the forty Na
tions that accepted the extended in
vitation to participate have officially
withdrawn.
The Argentine Republic has in
creased its appropriation for the ex
position by half a million dollars. The
Netherlands has added three hundred
thousand dollars to its fund. Italy and
Portugal have taken first official ac
tion for National representation.
Japan and Cuba have asked for addi
tional exhibition space.
Our own manufacturers and private
exhibitors are increasing their ex
hibits because of the expected in
crease of the number of visitors.
INTERESTING FACTS.
Calculation shows that in four
years’ time a cadet’s military duties
at this college require him to march
about 1,500 miles, or twice across the
State of Texas at its widest diagonal
distance, and that the same duties re
quire from 1,200 to 1,500 hours, or
from 120 to 150 work days. If an
upper classman having on a heavy
schedule the following day were to
absent himself from the campus for
24 hours without authority and be re
ported for everything that he missed
while gone, the accumulated demerits
would be sufficient to expel him. Such
a method as this has been tried by
cadets wishing to get expelled, but,
strange to say, it sometimes takes as
much as several weeks to accumulate
the necessary demerits.
TWO IN ONE.
Clasped in close embrace
Heeding not. Old Time’s swift race,
Knowing that no prying eyes
Could ever find their hiding place.
Heedless of the morning dawn
And that the hour was late;
But a single thought to them
That they were one another’s mate.
When I drew near to them,
And spoke that they might know
My presence there about,
No sign of fear did they show.
I touched them with my hands.
They did not even sigh,
Then in one gentle push
I parted them—a HOOK and EYE.

Enough was supplied to all, and quite
a number of boys were seen to let
out a notch or two of their belts.
After the feast the members had a
“get together” meeting. Each mem
ber had some special stunt. After
everyone had had his time the party
broke up, most of the boys going to
the lyceum.
