go w i t h him t w a i n . — M a t t . 5:41.

The blessed doctrine of the second
mile, put forth by Jesus in His Sermon on the Mount, is a fundamental
principle of the kingdom of heaven,
and is introduced by one of those
happy illustrations by which He
makes eternal things real to the human mind. As the soul of the artist
finds expression on the strip of canvas, so the Master drew again one
of those sweet little pictures of
Christian living and colored it with
His own example.
And doubtless
many of the multitudes who heard
those words caught a glimpse of the
picture, f o r they "were astonished at
His doctrine."
But what an added
fullness of meaning these words hold
f o r us now, as we view them exemplineu in His life!
In living with our fellow-men there
is a certain distance we all must go.
.Whether we like it or not, the very
exigencies of life demand that we
reach a certain limit; the requirements of society and etiquette f o r c e
us to a definite level. But what about
beyond that? The choice is not ours
f o r the first mile: we are compelled
to go.
It is in the going of the
second mile that liberty and freedom
are found. No doubt Paul had this
in his mind when he likened the law
to a school-master to bring us to
Christ, for when we found Him the
law no longer applied to us. So it is
that the first mile is a period of law,
the second a time of love.
There are many who retrace their
steps again and again over that first
weary mile. Honest folks they are,
diligently striving to do the right
perhaps, but their lives are joyless
and restricted.
Others are strictly
honest and upright in all their dealings; methodical and precise; ever anxious to do exactly what has been
asked of them. But they are only first
milers, missing the sweetness of companionship in the second mile. Somehow one feels the breath of polar
winds when in their presence. Yes,
many of them would even lay down
their lives for principle; but they are
only as a flower in the bud, awaiting
warmth and moisture in order to
spring forth into full bloom.
There are some who have long since
passed the first mile and are going
on—two miles, three miles, ever on.
And how their lives radiate sunshine
and joy to earth's darkest
corners!
Have you ever thought how
ceaselessly our mothers have trod the
second mile?
No thought of duty
there, no counting the waymarks to
know when the mile will end. But
long before we know it or could appreciate it, our mothers had sped far
along the second mile with us, with
hands made beautiful by a thousand
services of love, and hearts aglow
with the fires of devotion and sacrifice.

his heart. Not content with taking
the wounded man and carrying him
to the inn—for that was nothing
more than his duty—he gave two
pence to the host with instruction:,
to spend all that was necessary and
he' would repay him. This was just a
little more than was required of him
but I fancy I can see that Samaritan
continuing his journey with a new
song in his heart and on his lips, for
was this not the second mile?
Jesus himself knew every turn and
by-path of the second mile.
And,
what is more, oftentimes those with
whom He had walked in that long
first mile, failed to realize that in
love and compassion He continued
with them another mile, encouraging
them and gently guiding them over
the rough places. Many a time, weary
with the labors of a long day, He
would have sought rest, but He found
none. Far into the night and morning, He continued His ministry of
love, laboring or praying f o r the
soul's of men.
This is the very essence of Christianity.
"What more could I have
done f o r my vineyard?" was the Master's question;
and His follower
echoes, "What more could I have done
f o r my neighbor?" Love ever gives,
and its deeds are not numbered, for
if they are, then they are not of love.
It continues as long as life itself shall
last, flooding the world with joy and
gladness,- f o r
"Faith circles round the cross;
Hope circles round the coming,
Love
fills
up the little
time
between."

Tbe Poet's

Come*

The following poem was written by
Miss Helen Gardner, a graduate of
the department of commerce in the
1927 class:
IN HIM COMPLETE
He bade me give—my heart
I gave with all its pride and sin,
The secret lusts and rankling hate,
The darkening doubts that crept
within.
I gave the sorrow dwelling there,
The throbbing grief none else could
still,
The little trying vexing things,
And then—I gave my will.
He bade me take—His life
Of righteousness and purity:
A robe so white—I could not think
The wondrous garb was meant f o r me.
With wistful heart I turned away,
But Jesus would not let me go
Until before His father's throne
My sinful life was white as snow.
He bade me look—on Calvary
With broken heart my Saviour hung;
And when I saw 'twas f o r my sin,
My longing heart with grief was
wrung.
With hands out-stretched and humble
plea,
I grateful knelt at Jesus feet,
His own pierced hands and garment
placed,
And now—I stand in Him complete.

A dying queen is reputed as saying, "My kingdom f o r one minute

Go Back

and

Do It"

* Yesterday morning an old, beggarly
looking man was standing beside the
stairway that led to an elevated railway station, seemingly bewildered. I
was in a hurry, and did not ask him
where he wanted to go. Why didn't
I go back and do it?
My mother used to take great pains
to think of lovely little surprises f o r
me, and I used to take them as a matter of course. I see now how happy
she could have been if I had ever
thanked her. It is too late f o r me
now to go back and do it.
I had a schoolmaster in a country
school who fitted me f o r college more
thoroughly than many a boy is fitted
in a larger and more famous school.
Often when I was in college I had
good reason to thank him f o r his
patience with me, but I never did.
And it is now too late for me to go
back antl do it.
My chum did more f o r me than anybody else when I was a student; he
was honest and genuine and sensible,
and full of fine, manly purposes, and
I was much younger than he, and
needed him so much. Every day of
my life I am thankful f o r him, and I
often tell others what he did f o r
me, but I never told him. And now it
is too late f o r me to go back and do
it.
Tomorrow somebody else will do
me a kindness. I shall be hurried and
forgetful, but perhaps the memory of
some kindness done by those of the
past may make me willing to pass it
on to those who are to come. And
even if I hurry by, arid feel timid
about opening my heart by saying an
appreciative word, still I can go back
and do it.

GERALD MINCIIIN

Cervantes, speaking of one of hii,
characters, says of him that he was
"as kind a man as ever trod shoeleather, mighty good to the poor> a
main friend to all honest people, and
had a face like a benediction." This
description contains an excellent definition of good humor.
There is a
common tendency to confuse good humor or cheerfulness with mirth, but
there is not necessarily any great
connection, f o r cheerfulness is an indwelling principle, while mirth is but
a transitory emotion.
Good humor springs f r o m within'
and is not so largely dependent on
outward influences as we are often
inclined to think.
Doubtless it is
somewhat g r a t i f y i n g to our sense of
pride to .be able to attribute our disgruntled behavior to some untoward
circumstances: what we are actually
doing, is admitting that we have
merely a m i r t h f u l disposition rather
than a cheerful one. There is a Persian story that the great king being out of spirits consulted his astrologers, and was told that happiness
could be ensured by wearing the shirt
of a p e r f e c t l y happy man. The court
and all the prosperous classes in the
country w e r e searched in vain.
No
such man could be discovered.
At
last a laborer c o m i n g f r o m his work
was found to fulfill the condition; Jie
was absolutely happy. But, alas! the
remedy was as far off as ever. The
man had no shirt.
A good-humored person sees in
every circumstance of life, whether
good or evil in itself, an opportunity
to display patience and broadmindedness, and will realize that all that
meets his approval does not necessarily make f o r the c o m f o r t of others.
" I f prayers of dogs were heard," the
Arabs say, "what showers of bones
would fall f r o m heaven this day!" The

greatest • amount of pleasure will
come to the man who accepts what is
f o r the common good, though it ma>
be at some disadvantage to himself.
One trouble is that we humans generally consider our individual selves
to be essential to the public welfare,
and tHe jar that accompanies our disillusionment often upsets our equilibrium.
Good humor is seldom in
greater demand than when our swollen vanity has been pricked, and il
is an excellent check on our conceit
to discover occasionally that we are
in the wrong, and better still, to
acknowledge it cheerfully.
As the
proverb says:
The cows are in the corn and there
they browse,
But, since your fence was down, why
blame the cows?
Some people call this taking a philosophic attitude. At least it is a Christian attitude.
An inwardly cheerful nature will
find expression in outward f o i m . Even
the features of our faces, no matter
how unpromising they may be, can
be made to yield to the influence f r o m
within. Man is the only creature, excepting perhaps the dog, who has the
ability to smile, and yet it is more
difficult to raise a smile on some
men's faces than it is to set a dog's
eyes sparkling and his tail wagging.
Of course, people occasionally deceive
us by their outward bearing, but that
brings us to another point.
Cheerfulness is essentially sincere.
That is, it is not a business proposition, as going to church is with some
people, although o f t e n t i m e s it is useiJ
as a cloak f o r a good purpose.
Let
me illustrate. I knew a woman who
was good natured and cheerful to
the highest degree. Hers was not an
easy lot in life, and many times at the
close of a long day, weary and maybe

discouraged, she would seek rest and could not do it. But if a dandelion or

said the wise man, and I do not know
but what it is just as good a business
quality f o r a man to have as is accountancy or commercial law. It is
one of those things which is not measured in dollars, but nevertheless has
a definite value. Like mercy " i t is
twice blessed, it blesseth him that
gives and him that takes."
It is possible that good humor may
degenerate into an over-anxiety tc,
please, with a resultant weakness of
character. Most of us have been acquainted at some time or other with
that helpless, much-imposed-upon individual, who couldn't say " n o " under
any circumstances. Such an attitude
often does more harm than gQod, but
the majority of us need not concern
ourselves with that side of the question.
Happily this splendid quality can
be acquired. The more fortunate of
us were born with it in our veins,
others of us have to work f o r it, but
it is within the reach of all.

The vegetable in the body is worth
about $5.00.
If the meat on the body were sold
at a meat market, it would bring
about §15.00.
In the body there is: Fat enough to
make 7 bars of soap; iron enough to
make a 10 penny nail; lime enough to
white-wash a chicken-coop; phosphorus enough to make 5 boxes of
matches; 1 tablespoon of magnesium;
enough potassium to fire a toy cannon; enough sulphur to kill a dose of
flees.

Valued socially, a man is worth
$10,000. Valued spiritually, God says,
that if we were to combine the
wealth of Ford, Morgan, Gould, and
all other men of wealth, with jewels
of earth, the gold and silver, the
cattle on a thousand hills, in f a c t all
that is worth anything in this world,
and could place it one side of a scale
with the soul on the other side of the
scale, the soul would weigh more than
all the world.
As man is raised f r o m one kingdom
to another he increases in value.
Upon what does God place the value
of a man?
Picture in your mind a beautiful
car—most pleasing to the eye, but it
will not run. Compare this with a
car that in appearance is the worse
f o r wear, but it responds when one
wants to get somewhere.
The latter has fulfilled the purpose
f o r which it was made.

When man has fulfilled the purpose
f o r which he was made he is of value
to his Maker.
God created man to g l o r i f y Him.
Lincoln had a work to do. Florence
Nightingale had a definite work to
do.
W e cannot all be Lincolns or
FlorencA Nightingales, but we can
each fill the place God has made f o r
us and thus g l o r i f y Him.
What would God have you to do?
How can you fit into God's plan?

Question of Accommodating Applicants
Greatest Problem Confronting American Colleges and Universities
The demand f o r college educations,
for the first time in our recent history, today fairly exceeds the supply,
with the result, it appears, that certain young Americans who are capable of entering college this fall, and
anxious to do so, cannot bo accommodated. Applications f o r admission
to America's 780 universities, colleges,
and professional schools, exceed the
capacity, reports Mildred Adams, an
educational investigator. The older
and more famous colleges, of course,
have had to deal, fcjr some years", with
the problem of applications in excess
of the number of (students they can
accommodate. But, nowadays, reports
Miss Adams, similar conditions prevail over a great part of the country.
She explains and comments, in the
New York Times:
" U p to 1917 the increase in college
students from year to year was a
fairly steady one, keeping pace with
the increase in the country's population, its growing wealth and its growing desire f o r education in general.
In the five years f r o m 1910 to 1915
some 35,000 more men went to college
than had gone y\i the previous five
years. Byt. F ' ,n 1915 t6 1920 the increase jumped to 70,000 (a clear
^
.ling), and the wail began to be
heard. Facilities f o r higher education, it was said, were inadequate;
more people wanted to go to college
than could be accommodated; something must be done.
"From 1920 to 1922 there was an
increase of 50,000. But the most astonishing figure came in the next two
years. The number of men at college jumped 187,000 between 1922 and
1924, while the number of college
women increased 100,000.
"There was no longer any question
of keeping pace with the population.
In the first quarter of this century
America's population increased fifty
per cent, but in the same length of
time the college population took unto
itself a biblical figure and grew
seven-fold, piling up an estimated
total of 775,000 students in 1925-26."
The smaller colleges, in any event,
have profited by the situation, and
many of the larger ones, especially
Slate institutions, arc working out
plans both to increase their capacities
and to " f a r m out" some of the present college work on "junior colleges"
or special schools. As f o r the boys
and girls who want more education
than high schools can give them, and
yet are not fitLcd by aptitude or inclination to be excellent scholars, concludes the writer:
" I t may be that pressure of numbers will f o r c e the development of
a system of vocational, professional,
and artistic education.

The college press has S just ordered
a new Craftsman Press with the climax feeder to take the place of the
10 x 15 Chandler & Price press which
has been operating just back of the
cylinder press.
This relieves the
10 x 15 press for the printing laboratory room which will be in the basement of the college—probably in the
north-west corner.
A lot of new type has also been ordered f o r the laboratory room. Some
of the equipment that is in the printing office will be moved now to the
laboratory room, and more will be secured to make an efficient place f o r a
year's work.
"The work, of course, will be open
to both young men and young women," says C. Sparks, instructor in
printing.

THE WOODMAN-LYLE WEDDING
On the evening of the 14th, Elder
W. M. Andress read the ceremony
which solemnized the marriage of J.
D. Lile, of Goldsberry, Mo., and Miss

Miss Woodman will be remembered
in Union College circles as a member
of the class of '26 and by her many
friends in Colorado. For many years
she has been a church school teacher
in this union.--Boulder Canon Sentinel.

CAMP-HALVERSON
Announcement has been received of
the marriage of Miss Gladys Camp to
Glen Ilalverson, which took place
August 10 at Portland, Oregon.
Miss Camp is a graduate of Maplewood Academy and later of the White
Memorial Nurses' Training School at
Los Angeles. Mr. Halverson finished
in the class of '22, and for the past
five years has been teaching in Nebraska and California.
Mr. and Mrs. Halverson will make
their home in Los Angeles, Calif.,
where he will continue his teaching.
