The  College  Y.  M.  C.  A.  Move 
ment. 

Chapel  exercises  Sunday  morn 
ing  were  led  by  C.  C.  Michner,  in 
ternational  secretary  of  the  college 
Y.  M.  C.  A.  movement,  who  also 
spoke  to  the  young  men  of  the  Col 
lege  at  3  o'clock,  and  led  the  union 
meeting  of  the  Y.  W.  C.  A.  and 
Y.  M.  C.  A.  in  the  evening. 

But 

In  his  morning  address  he  called 
to  the  important  position 
attention 
of  the  college  man 
in  our  country; 
to  his  leadership  in  all  progressive 
business  men, 
movements. 
through  impressions  received 
from 
reading  the  daily  newspapers,  are  of 
the  opinion  that  college  students  are 
interested  only  in  athletics  and  social 
affairs,  that  they  are  not  interested 
inlthe  advancement  of  Christianity. 
M r.  Michner  assured  us that  more  in 
number  than  those  who  are  mem 
bers  of  athletic,  literary,  fraternal, 
college  paper,  military  and  social 
organizations  are  those  engaged  in 
the  Y.  M.  C.  A.  movement.  N ot 
only  this,  but  the  leaders  in  these  or 
ganizations,  including  many  of  our 
best  known  athletes,  are  many  of 
them  leaders  in  Christian  work.  T he 
college  Y.  M.  C.  A.  movement  has 
also  united  the  colleges  and  universi 
ties  of  foreign  nations  that  never  be-
for  had  been  united  in  any  common 
movement;  so  that  now  10  Nations, 
30  races,  1,000  organizations  and  50,-
000  college  men  are  united  in 
this 
movement.  Nothing  else  has  ever 
seen  such  united  work. 

T he  N a t u r al  History  Society. 

At 

the  meeting  of  the  Natural 
History  Society  on  Friday  evening 
last,  a  very  interesting  program  was 
presented.  M r.  Munson  gave  a  talk 
on  "Michigan's  N ew  and  Prospec 
tive  Industries."  As  one  of  our 
the 
new 
industries,  he  mentioned 
manufacture  of  Portland 
cement, 
which  is  not  only  new  to  Michigan 
but  also  to  the  United  States.  T he 
material  used  in  the  manufacture  is 
marl,  large  beds  of  which  are  found 
in  various  places  in  southern  Mich 
two 
igan.  T h e re  are  at  present 
large  factories  in  the  State,  one  at 
Bronson  and  one  at  Union  City. 
T he  cement  made  is of  good  quality, 
comparing  very  favorably  with  the 
German  product. 

that 

As  one  of  the  prospective  indus 
tries,  the  manufacture  of  beet  sugar 
was  mentioned.  While  still  in 
the 
experimental  stage  the  fact  seems 
the  soil 
to  be  well  established 
in  most  parts  of  the  State  is  adapted 
to  the  production  of  beets  having  a 
good  precentage  of  sugar.  A  com 
pany  has  been  formed  for  the  man 
ufacture  of  sugar,  and  it  is  probable 
that  by  another  year  we  shall  know 
more  about  the  practical  side  of  the 
matter.  A  brief  account  was  given 
of  the  method  of  analyzing  the  beet. 
M r.  Barlow  next  gave  an  interest 
ing  talk  on  fishes.  F or  purposes  of 
illustration,  he  had 
the  skeleton  of 
a  codfish  and  several  other  speci 
mens.  He  gave  a  brief  description 
of  the  anatomy  of  the  fish,  and  men 
tioned  some  of  the  more  important 
classes.  T he  economic  value  of  fish 
products  was  mentioned,  also 
the 
great  advantage  Michigan  enjoys 
with  regard  to  these  products. 
In 
the  discussion,  M r.  Cole  gave  a 

9 

description  of  some  of  the  methods 
employed  by  the  fish  commission. 

It  was  voted  that  the  collection 
belonging 
to  the  society  be  turned 
over  to  the  zoological  department. 
Those  who  have  loaned  articles  to 
this  collection  should  claim  them  at 
once  if  they  wish  them  returned. 

T he  meetings  of  the  Natural  His 
tory  Society  should  be  better  at 
tended.  T he  membership  includes, 
I  believe,  every  student  in  College, 
the  programs  are  nearly  always  ex 
cellent,  and  the  line  of  work  taken 
up  should  be  of  interest  to  everyone. 
W hy  is  it,  then,  that  we  do  not  have 
better  attendance  at  the  meetings?

M.  A.  C.  Special  Creamery  Course. 

W.  J.  BILL. 

This  class  of  27  students  reported 
for  regular  work  at  eight  o'clock 
Tuesday  morning,  January  4, 
to 
Prof.  C.  D.  Smith,  in  the 
lecture 
room  of 
the  Agricultural  Labora 
tory,  where  we  were  made  acquaint 
ed  with  the  work  we  were  to  cover 
during  the  course. 

F r om  eight  o'clock  until  nine,  in 
the  Agricultural  Laboratory,  Prof. 
Smith  has  given  us  lectures  on  the 
dairy  cow,  her  feed  and  care,  calcu 
lating  rations  and  the  building  and 
filling  of  silos,  which  have  been 
very  interesting.  During 
last 
half  of  the  course  this  hour  will  be 
devoted 
to  lectures  by  M r.  G.  H. 
T r u e,  on  the  business  methods  of  a 
creamery,  such  as  making  out  divi 
dends,  accounts  with  patrons,  and 
shipments,  etc.  This  work  will  be 
quite  important  as  much  of  the  suc 
cess  of  a  creamery  depends  upon 
the  management. 

the 

From  nine  o'clock  to  twelve,  on 
Mondays  and  Tuesdays  we  report 
at  the  creamery  room 
to  Mr.  A. 
Goodman,  who  is  the  instructor  of 
this  department.  Each  student 
is 
assigned 
to  his  work  here,  where 
one  finds  himself  in  a  model  cream 
ery.  This  department  is  under  the 
general  supervision  of  Mr.  G.  H. 
True.  T he  machinery  is  complete

with  which 
to  handle 
About  one 
ton  of  milk  is  handled 
daily,  of  which  about  700  pounds  is 
furnished  by  the  farm  herds,  500 
pounds  comes  by  rail  from  parties 
at  Battle  Creek,  and  the  balance  is 
furnished  by  farmers  within  a  few 
miles  of 
the  College.  T h e re  are 
five  separators  of  different  makes 
and  capacities,  and  powrer

made  each  day  of  the  milk,  skim 
and 
reports  are 
fo  the  instructor  as  to  the

work  done  by  each  student.  This 
work  is  very  thorough  and  practical 
in  every  way,  as  one  gets  the  prac 
tice  as  well  as  the  theory.

and 

On  Wednesdays  and  Thursdays 
at this time, the  class receives  instruc 
tions  from  Mr.  G.  H.  T r u e,  in  the 
testing  room  of 
the  Agricultural 
Laboratory,  on  the  manipulation  of 
the  Babcock  milk  test. 

On  Fridays  and  Saturdays  we 
have  the  chemistry  of  milk  and  its 
products at the  Chemical  Laboratory, 
under  Mr.  L.  S.  Munson;  also 
creamery  mechanics,  under  M r.  G. 
N.  Eastman. 

» 

F r om  1 o'clock  until  2  every  day 
except  Saturdays,  we  have  a  lecture 
by  Dr.  George  Waterman  at 
the 
Veterinary  Laboratory,  on  the  dairy 
cow,  her  general  ailments  and  care. 
F r om  2  o'clock  until  3 in  the  same 
room,  we  have  a  lecture  by  Prof.  C. 
E.  Marshall  on  bacteriology,  with 
reference  to  its  relation  to  milk  and 
its  products;  the  use  of  starters  for 
ripening  cream  and  how  to  handle 
them  is  explained,  and  some  practi 
cal  work  will  be  done  in  this  line 
during  the  second  half  of  the  course 
at  the  creamery. 
At  3  o'clock 

the  class  report  at 
the  Agricultural  Laboratory,  where 
butter 
judging  under  M r.  G.  H. 
T r ue  is  held  for  an  hour  on  Tues 
days and  Thursdays;  and  at the  same 
hour  on  Mondays,  Wednesdays  and 
Fridays  the  physics  of  milk  is  dis 
cussed  by  Prof.  Smith.  Many  knot 
ty  questions 
in  general  creamery 
work  are  brought  up  and  unraveled 
at  this  time,  and  much 
is 
manifested  by  the  class.

T he  home  dairy  course  has  a  class 
of  eight,  and  their  work  is  the  same 
as  that  of 
the  creamery  course,  ex 
cept  that  they  handle  the  milk  with 
hand  power  machinery.  This  class 
is  under  the  direction  of  Mr.  P.  H. 
Davis.  T he  special  courses  of 
the 
M.  A.  C.  are  a  decided  success  in

T he  aim  has  been  in  making  up 
this  program  to  provide  a  meeting 
of 
the  State

T he  Forgiveness  of  Sin. 

ADDRESS  BY DR. K E D Z I E,  GIVEN  IN  CHAPEL 

SUNDAY  MORNING,  JANUARY  l 6,  1 8 9 8. 

We  live  in a  world  of  facts,  not 
shadows—of  law and  order, of cause 
Given  an  antecedent 
and  effect. 
cause,  a  certain  effect  is  expected, 
and  we are  surprised  if  it  does  not 
follow.  We call  this  the  order  of 
nature,  and  rely  confidently  upon 
the  effect  following  its  cause.  We 
sometimes  look  with  a shudder  upon 
the  immutability  of  this  law  of  cause 
and  effect,  and fail  to  recognize  the 
beauty  and goodness  of the order of 
nature  because  we  rather  fix  our 
eyes  upon  the  terrible 
inflexibility 
of 
their  operations  — we  seem  so 
weak  and puny  in  their  changeless 
presence.  T he laws  of  nature  are 
just, but terrible.  There  is no  mercy 
in  them.  Cause  and  consequence 
are  inseparable  and  inevitable.  T he 
elements  have  no  forbearance,  but 
are  utterly  pittiless.  T he  fire  burns; 
the  water  drowns;  the earth  buries; 
yet  we  see in their  stern  and harsh 
features  the proof  that  they  are the 
honest  and  incorruptible  agents  of 
It  is  because  they/  are un 
good. 
that 
changeable  and  incorruptible 
we  plant  our feet  upon  the  basis  of 
nature  with  absolute  confidence  in 
all  our plans  and  operations  in  life. 
Gravitation  may  pull  us down  from 
some  beetling  cliff  and  dash  us 
down  to death.  But suppose  gravi 
tation  relents  and  loosens  its grasp 
for  a time  and leaves  us to dance off 
into space, like motes in the  sunbeam, 
how  much  better  would  it be  for  us? 
As  a symbol  and illustration  of  per 
fect  confidence  we speak  of  having 
our  feet  on  solid  ground—then  we 
feel  safe.  But it is said  there  is no 
form  of  terror  for  man, beast  or 
bird  to be compared  to  that  caused 
by  the  earthquake  when  it  tosses 
the  ground  like  the  billows of  ocean. 
At  such  an  hour  very  literally  the 
ground  of  our confidence  is  shaken! 
To  remove  the stern  inflexibility  of 
the  laws  of  nature,  to  make  them 
changeful,  weak  and  vacillating,  is 
only  to  expose  ourselves  to  heart-
shaking  terrors. 
In  nature  law  is 
only  the obverse  of  love. 

Consider  also  the immutability of 
any  fact  or thing 
done.  T he  mo 
tive  which  determined  the fact  may 
have  been  of  the  most  trifling  na 
ture.  T a ke  the matter  of  a  student 
coming  to  chapel  this  morning, or 
staying  away.  O ne may give  as a 
reason:  "I  had  a  curiosity  to  hear 
w h at  he  would  say;"  another,  "I did 
like  going."  But  when 
not  feel 

this  possibility  of  coming  or  staying 
away  became  a  fact—a  thing  done 
—it  passed  into  the irrevocable  past 
and  was  stamped  with 
immutability. 
Nothing  can  ever  change  that  fact. 
No  future  act of yourself  or of any 
other  being  can wipe  out  that  fact. 
In  the  order  of  nature  the  fact  is 
irrevocable  and eternal. 

In  t he domain  of  nature  we  find 
two  most  suggestive  conditions:  t he 
inflexibility  of  cause  and effect, and 
the  permanence  of  fact. 

Science  holds  the realm  of  nature 
for  her wide  domain.  Of  the  field 
of  cause  and  effect  she  holds  the 
title  in fee  simple,  and no tax-title 
can  cloud  her claim  in the  chancery 
court  of  reason.  Science  is in  high 
honor  now,  and science  says  that  it 
is  as  impossible  to  put things  back 
where  they  were  before,  to  restore 
a  sinful  heart,  as to make  whole  a 
broken  shell! 

At 

that 

such  feet  has  grown  up  a 
modern  religion  whose  god is  fate, 
whose  hope  is dust  for the  body  and 
nothingness  for  the  soul;  whose 
heaven  is but to  be  an  influence  in 
others'  lives.  O ne of  them  speaks 
through  the hero  of a  recent  novel, 
"I  hate 
talk  of  people  as if 
there  was  a way  of  making  amends 
for everything.  T h e y 'd  more need  to 
see,  as the wrong  they  do can never 
It's  well  that  we  should 
be  altered. 
feel  that  life's  a  reckoning  we  can 
not  make  twice  over;  there  is  no 
real  making  amends  in  this  world 
any  more 
than  you  can  mend  a 
w r o ng  subtraction  by  doing  your 
addition  right."  A nd the age  may 
need 
this  lesson.  We  have  been 
guilty  of  making  sin too light  and 
punishment  too  soft. 
" It is  good," 
sing  the  Eumenides  in old  Eschylus, 
"that  fear  should  sit as the guardian 
of  the  soul,  forcing  it into  wisdom 
—good 
that  men  should  carry  a 
threatening  shadow  in  their  hearts 
under  the  full  sunshine;  else  how 
should 
to  revere  the 
right  ?" 

learn 

they 

T he  school  of  science,  therefore, 
denies  absolutely  the forgiveness  of 
sin.  Nature  knows  nothing  of  par 
don.  " T he soul  that  sinneth  shall 
die,"  is their  inexorable  law.  Hence 
in  the  great  religions  of  the  world 
pardon  has no  place.  Brahma,  the 
creator,  Vishnu,  the  preserver,  and 
there  is 
Seeva,  the  destroyer—but 
no  Savior—no  reconciler. 
It is ex 
piation,  not pardon.  Hence  human 
sacrifice—the  offering  of  that  most 
prized,  "Shall  I  give  my  first  born 
for  my transgression, the  fruit  of my 
body  for the sin of my soul?" 

And  no  wonder,  for  mercy  and 
pardon  are  unknown 
in  nature. 
Does  the earthquake  pity  the thous 
ands 
it  swallows  in  a  moment? 
Does  the lightning  sorrow  for those 
w ho  shrivel  at its touch?  Does  the 
sea  weep  for  the shrieking,  stran 
gling  victims  that  sink in her  treach 
erous  depths? 

W h e re  shall  pardon  be found, and 
where  is  the  place  of  forgiveness? 
T he  mountain  saith  "Forgiveness  is 
If  you  climb  my  frozen 
not  in me. 
heights  you  shall  freeze,  and if you 
fall  from  my  slippery  cliffs,  I  dash 
you  to death."  T he sea  saith,  " N ot 
in  me. 
If  you  venture  upon  my 
stormy  breast,  I  cast  you  off, or my 
silent  depths  shall  strangle  y o u ." 
Death  and  the grave  say, "  We  have 
heard  the  fame 
thereof  with  our 
ears,  but it is not in us."  No forgiv 
eness;  pardon  unknown,  and  pity  in 
comprehensible.  T he  heart  of na 
ture is a heart  of  stone. 

Whence then comes the thought  of 
forgiveness?  From  above—not  from 
beneath. 

It is not  natural  but  super-

natural.  T he pitying  hand  that  lifts 
the  drowning  child  out of the stran 
gling  depths  is moved  by an  impulse 
that  nature  does  not know,  and can 
not  comprehend.  By  thus  acting 
through  natural  law  man  changes 
the  result,  and secures  a different  re 
sult  from 
that  of  cause  and  effect. 
He  does  not violate  the  laws  of na 
ture,  but acts  upon  them  through  a 
higher  law, and  thus  acts as a  super 
natural 
being.  We  are  supernat 
ural  beings  whenever  we  exercise 
free  will  and  change  the  natural 
coarse  of  cause  and effect  by  bring 
ing  into  play  new  causes.  F r ee  will 
is  unknown  to  nature.  We some 
times 
impute  to  inanimate  objects 
properties  of  our  own  being  which 
are  utterly  alien  to  such  objects— 
"free  as the wandering  winds"—"the 
mountain  brook 
in  chainless 
freedom  goes  singing  to the sea,"— 
yet  no "slave  scourged  to his  dun 
geon"  has less liberty  than  the  waves 
of  air, and the brook  is  led in  leash 
by  the chain  of  gravitation.  L et it 
try  to  creep  back  to  its  fountain 
head! 
Inexorable  law  rules  nature; 
freedom  is from God.

Let  us abruptly  turn  our  thoughts 
to  what  God  has told  us of  forgive 
ness  and pardon.  T he Bible  is  full 
of  this  theme  from  first  to last.  No 
other  book  in all the range  of litera 
ture  has  so much  to say on this  sub 
ject. 
It is the theme  of prophet  and 
evangel.  " T h e re  is forgiveness  with 
thee  that  thou  mayest  be  feared," 
sang  the Psalmist. 
In  the remark 
able  prayer  of  Solomon  at the dedi 
cation  of  t he  temple,  at  every  cli 
macteric  period  comes  in the  refrain, 
"then  hear 
in  heaven,  thy 
dwelling  place,  and when  thou  hear-
In  the  wonderful 
est,  forgive" 
prayer  of  Daniel  for the restoration 
of  Jerusalem,  we  read:  "O  Lord, 
hear;  O  Lord,  forgive;  O  Lord, 
hearken  and d o;  defer  not for  thine 
own  sake,  O, my G o d;  for thy city 
and  thy  people  are  called  by thy 
name." 
that  most  wonderful 
prayer  of all history  we  are  told  to 
say,  "forgive  us  our  debts, as we  for 
give  our debtors."  Read  over  these 
three  wonderful  prayers,  and see 
how  the thought  of  forgiveness  of 
sin  filled  the  hearts  of  the greatest 
and  best  through  the  ages—the  cen 
tral  thought  in the relations  of man 
to  God. 
In the relation  of  man to 
man  in human  society  the  same  prin 
ciple  is  recognized. 
" T h en  came 
Peter  to  him  and  said,  Lord, how 
oft  shall  my brother  sin against  me, 
and  I  forgive  him ?  Till seven  times ? 
Jesus  saith  unto  him,  I  say not  unto 
thee  until  seven  times, but  seventy 
times  seven."  Even  in his hour of

But  if  there  is  no forgiveness  of 
sins,  then  Christ  was  an  impostor, 
religion  a delusion,  hope  blotted  out, 
and  despair  our  legacy  from  an im 
placable  deity. 

Do  you doubt  that  there  is forgive 
ness  possible  and  contemplated  in 
the  plan  of  God's  universe?  Look 
into  your  o wn  heart  and  question 
the  living  oracle  within  you, not

you,  which  are  blind  and  deaf  to 
moral  causes.  T he  kingdom  of  God 

is  within  you.  Do you find there no 
forgiveness  of  w r o n g?  Do you 
never  forgive?  Have  you  never  been 
forgiven  ?  T h en  you  are  either  above 
or  below  the  human  kind—not  hu

N ot  only  does  forgiveness  enable 
us to enter  heaven,  but it is  heaven,

A  S E R V I CE  OF  SONG. 

I  cannot  undertake 

Only  the other  day I  met a man 
whose  face  and words  set  my  mind 
traveling  back  over  the  space  of 
years  to  a  little  mountain  hotel  in 
Tennessee.  T h e re  had been  an acci 
dent  to the  engine,  and  consequently 
my  cousin  A g n es  and I, w ho  were 
journeying  across  the  State,  were 
delayed,  with  other  unfortunates,  in 
a village  uncompromisingly  desolate, 
and  in the  hotel  of  which  I  speak. 
to  describe 
the  aspect  of  the little  town,  or the 
impression  it made  on my  impatient 
mind. 
I  might  say it seemed  to be 
asleep,  but that  the term  would  con 
vey  too much  of  an  idea  of  repose 
and  peace.  Perhaps  I  may  describe 
it  as  in  a  sort  of  drunken  stupor, 
but  with  too little  enterprise  to be 
bad.  T he  hotel  partook  of  t he 
character  of  the  place. 
In  the  ill-
to  which  my 
smelling 
cousin  and  I  betook  ourselves,  we 
found  a  sort  of  corpse  of  a  carpet 
and  some  ancient  furniture,  among 
it  a piano  of  an old  style,  sadly  out 
of  tune.  W h e re  the  other  delayed 
passengers  were  I  do  not  know. 
T he  only  companion  we had in  that 
dismal  place  was an  old  lady,  evi 
dently  a  boarder  there.  H er  dress 
was  antiquated,  but  the  wrinkled 
face  which  smiled  from  the  depths 
of  the large  frilled  cap was  pleasant 
and  refined,  presenting,  to my mind, 
the  one  relieving  feature  of  the 
scene. 

"parlor," 

Outside  it  rained.  T h is  did not 
appear  to interfere  in the least  with 
the  comfort  of  the  loafers  w ho 
smoked  under  the  "parlor"  windows. 
A g n e s,  for  want  of  occupation,  sat 
down  to the piano,  which  was  very 
hoarse  and occasionally  sneezed  in 
wardly.  I cannot  say that  "Chopin's 
waltzes"  sounded  very  natural,  but 
"Old  Hundred,"  which  my  cousin 
tried  by  way of  contrast,  appeared 
to  give  the old lady  an  idea.  S he 
had  been  watching  the  player  with 
admiring  eyes,  and n ow came  over 
to  the instrument  and spoke. 

"I  w as  thinking,  my  dear,"  she 
said  hesitatingly,  "that  if  you  could 
sing  a  little  mite,  just 
some  old 
hymn  or  something,  it  would  seem 
real  good.  W ho  knows  but  it 
might  help 
them  poor  boys  out 
there?  T h e y ' re  most  likely  away 
from  there  homes  and mothers, and 
they  hear  much 
it  ain't  probable 
good  music—the  Lord's  music, you 
k n o w ." 

A g n es  looked  at  me  inquiringly. 
" It  seems  to  me,"  I  replied  in a 
I 
low  tone,  "rather  an  odd  idea. 
can't  say  that  I  should 
like  your 
singing  in  such  a  place  as  this." 
Doubtless  my  nose 
involuntarily 
showed  my disapproval  of  our  sur 
roundings,  as noses  will. 

looked 

My  cousin 

thoughtful. 
"But,  R a l p h ,"  she  said,  "if  this  is 
one  of  those  little  opportunities  for 
service,  such  as we  were  speaking 
of  last  night,  would  it  not  be t he 
right  thing  to d o ?"

" My  dear  cousin,"  I  replied,  "I 
do  not  see  any  probability  of  our 
doing  helpful  work  by  singing  in 
this  place,  but  do  as  you  think  best. 
No  doubt  the  old  lady  would  enjoy 
it." 

" W o n 't  yon  sing  with  us?"  said 
A g n e s,  turning  and  speaking  to  her, 
with  the  deference  she  would  have 
shown  to  a  queen. 
" My  cousin  and 
I  will  be  glad  to  sing  a  little."

"I  haven't  no  voice  for  music  now. 
It  was  used  up  long  ago.  W h en  I

tears  in  her  bright  eyes.  Did  she 
see  the  vision  which  passed  before 
me—a  church  of 
time, 
with  lofty  pulpit  and  high-backed 
pews,  a solemn  minister,  an  attentive 
congregation,  a choir  of  young  sing 
ers,  in  the  simple  garb  of  long  ago, 
their  sweet  voices  pealing  forth  the 
Psalms 
their  happy 
"hearts  in  tune,"  like  his  "harp  of 
solemn  sound?"  Did  they  consider 
the  weary  years,  the  white  hair,  the 
dimness  of  sight,  awaiting  them? 
I 
think  not,  for  they  sang:

I  have  never  heard  my  cousin 
sing  as  she  did  that  dismal  after 
noon.  T he  crowd  at  the  windows 
laid  aside 
looked 
together 
and 
listened.  We  sang 
many  familiar  hymns  of 
invitation 
thought,  and  Agnes 
and  Christian 
sang  alone  the  one  beginning: 

their  pipes,  and 

Softly  and  tenderly Jesus  is  calling, 

Calling  for  you  and  for  me ; 

See,  on  the  portals  He's  waiting  and 

watching, 

Watching  for  you  and  for  me! 
T h en  came  the  refrain: 

Come  home  !  come  home  !  Ye  who  are 

weary,  come  home! 

Earnestly,  tenderly,  Jesus  is  calling,  ' 
Calling,  O  sinner,  come  home! 

I  confess  1  looked  with  surprise 
on  the 
interest  manifested  a m o ng 
the  group  at  the  window.  As  the 
last  sweet  strain  died  away  I  noticed

t he  position  of  Section 
Director  of  the  W y o m i ng  Section, 
Climate  and  Crop  Service  of  the 
W e a t h er  Bureau. 

George  A.  Woodruff,  w ho  did 

special  work  in  assaying  here  last 
term,  writes  from  Benton  Harbor 
that  he will  leave  February  8  with 
a  party  of ten  for the  copper  region 
of  southern  Alaska. 

Lyster  H. D e w e y,  '88,  1337  W a l-
lach  PI.  N. W. Washington,  D. C, 
writes:  "Please  accept  my  thanks 
for  calendar,  which  I  received  yes 
terday,  with  its scenes of the  campus 
and  College  life, changed  somewhat 
and  showing  grand 
improvement, 
but  still  bringing  back  to  memory 
scenes  dear  to  every  alumnus.  In 
my  considerable  experience  among 
college  men,  I  have  yet to  find any 
so  knit  together,  loyal  to  each  other, 
and  loyal  to  their  alma  mater,  as 
are  those  of M. A.  C ." 

Proposed  Changes  in  Football 
Rules. 

T he  committee  appointed  to  make 
suggestions  for  the  western  universi 
ties  as  to  changes  in  the  football 
rules  has  reported  to  the  general 
conference  several  changes  for  con 
sideration. 

T he  committee  recommends  that 
rush  line  players,  if  they  drop  back 
of  the  line, be required  to stay  out 
side  the  ends;  that  whenever  a  goal 
has  been  obtained,  the side  which 
has  lost  the  goal  shall  have  t he  op 
tion  of making  or receiving  the  next 
kick-off; 
that  a player  may  be sub 
stituted  for another  at any  time, b ut 
that  the  player  thus  replaced  cannot

return  to further  participation  in the 
game. 

R u le  28, as  amended,reads:  " T he 
following  shall  be  the  value  of  each 
point  in  scoring:  Goal  from 
field 
kick,  four;  goal  from  place  kick, 
three;  touchdown,  failing  goal,  four; 
safety  by opponents,  t w o ." 

interference  of 

R u le  29,  as amended,  reads:  " B e 
fore  the ball  is put  in play  no  player 
shall  lay  his  hands  upon  or  interfere 
with  an  opponent.  T he  penalty for 
foul  intervention  of this  kind  by  the 
side  on  the  defense  shall  be  five 
yards, or half  the  distance if  the  foul 
was  committed  within  the  ten-yard 
this 
line;  for  foul 
kind  by  the  side  with  the  ball  the 
penalty  shall  be a loss  of  five  yards 
by  the  side  in possession  of  the  ball. 
In  this  case  the  same  down  and  the 
same  point  of distance  to be reached 
as  already  indicated  by the  linesman 
shall  remain.  After  the  ball  is  put 
in  play  the players  on  the  side  that 
has  possession  of  the  ball  can  ob 
struct  the  opponents  with  the  body 
only,  except  the player  w ho  runs 
with  the  ball,  but  the  players  of  the 
side  not having  the  ball  can  use  their 
hands  and  arms  to  push  their  oppo 
nents  out  of  the  way.  On  a  kick, 
however,  the  side  receiving  the  ball 
shall  not  prevent 
their  opponents 
from  going  down  the  field  by the 
use  of their  hands  or  arms,  or  by 
other  foul  means,  under  penalty  of 
losing  the  ball  and  ten yards  at the 
point  where  the  foul  occurred." 

Reasons  for the  changes:  To  pre 
vent  slugging  and  dirty  playing  in 
the  line  by requiring  the rush  lines 
practically  to  stand  apart.  T he 
amendments  will  stop  holding  in 
the  line,  which  is  the most 
fruitful 
source  of 
retaliation  by  blows. 
F u r t h e r,  these  changes  will  prevent 
the  pulling  of  players  off  side  for 
the  sake  of  getting  a  penalty  by 
snapping  the  ball  at that  instant. 

Several  other  changes  are  recom 
mended,  but  they  are  of  minor 
importance,  referring  to  penalties 
within  the  fifteen-yard  line.
