ACHIEVEMENT THROUGH WORK.
The history of all achievement is
the history of joyous work. Life is
so short that to accomplish much one
must toil terribly afid incessantly.
Early up and always at it summar-
izes the successful career. Wording
hard in the teens, the youth finds
himself and develops the ray ma-
terial of character. Working hard in
the twenties, one lays the founda-
tions of-the soul's house. Working
hard in* the thirties and forties, he
slowly rears the walls and structures.
Still working, at eighty-seven, Glad-
stone and Bismarck were overtaken
by death, in the'hour of joyous and
creative work. What toilers were all
these men of achievement! Not an
Idler amor.2 the statesmen or schol-
ars or inventors! What the love of
music and Beatrice "were to Dante,
that the love of work is to the youth
who would achieve.
The person who has found his place
and Jpves his daily task finds that
his work is medicinal and literally
recuperative. Amusements often tire
him, but work gives him rest, food,
and medicine. Daily life is full of
illustrations of this fact. A person
suddenly called away from his work
frets, worries, goes restlessly about,
regrets his enforced leisure. No
bird ever turned toward the summer
with more joy than he returns to' his
work. It was the love of His ap-
pointed task that stirred Jesus during
his marvelous cavcer. How crowded
were his three years of public life!
In contrast, other lives seem empty.
When the darkness fell He began
His work afresh'. At "night, while
other men slept, He gave His disci-
ples the fourteenth chapter of John-r-
His wisest, deepest, most profound
teachings of home and heaven and
immortality. It was at night that
He panned through, His Gothsemane,
and won His victory. In the night He
broke the bonds of death. From his
Master, "Paul learned how to work-
in journeying, in teaching and in
writing. His days were as full of
deeds as the sky is full of stars. And
what supported him but the love of
his work and the passion for his
Master, for whom he toiled?
To every youth comes the_ thought
that work helps the worker only
whcn0it is worth the" doing. "To
hato one's task is t^be injujpd by it."
Work blesses the worker when it is
invested with charm and fascination.
The question arises as to wlyit occu-
pation or profession we must under-
take. Does any proposed work pMll
at your heart-strings and cause you
to dream of it by day and night? If
so, this is your'jtvork. And when it
is your visiori you stand ,on the moun-
tain peak suid look down on all your
tasks, is that peak the height of
your love end hope? If so, these
arc the heights that you are called
upon to climb. No one is called to
any task who can be happy any-
where else, and when one goes with
leaden heart into an occupation, in-
understand how necessary and jm-; others might be free to

Girls, look over the ads. You do
not have to buy something that you
do not need just because it is adver-
tised in the paper. Remember each
week the places that are helping us
and when you need something co-
operate by going to these places of

are established to serve us and if you
will go, we feel sure that they will
do so to the best of their ability.

Church Notes
EX-STUDENTS RESPOND.
No more fitting time could have
been chosen for launching the En-
largement program of Texas Wom-
an's College than this week, which is
Friendship Week*. Better Woman-
hood Week, ana "Educational Week.
How significant that the nation
should be linked together with these
three great movements, while Texas
Woman's Cbllege through the chan-
nel of her Alumnae and Ex-Students
should be seeking an enlarged educa-
tional equipment, heightened ideals
for its young womanhood, and in-
spiring and lasting friendships among
its students.
Our Alma Mater sends to us this
challenge: "At that plastic age of
sixteen or seventeen years, we an-,
swered your call for training in
books, in culture, religious education,
in ideals, in leadership, in self-re-
liance, in self-discovery; now we have
reached the mature age of fifteen
years, ready to expand into that new
womanhood — That Great Woman's
College W the South—and what are
you re^Sy to return to your Alma
Mater, in material gifts which furn-
ish the building material of a college,
and in loyalty and service which se-
cure and cement college walls. Did
your year or years at Texas Woman's
College mean anything to you?
Would you for the return of the few
meager rfoilars and cents you paid
into the college treasury erase all you
received there, all learning, all con-
tacts, all inspiration, all joys and
friendships? If not, has it a sale
price?" I with three thousand other

ment for expansion,'so that/tfie young
womanhood of the South shall find
at Texas Woman's College the equal
of any college in equipment, in en-

hour. There was about the occasion
an atmosphere of quiet and rever-
ence which proved that our whole
student body was "at worship." And
that, too, was better womanhood in
action.
For Wednesday evening dinner,
formal dress was requested. With
cold weather still in progress, this
p)an proved rather discomforting to
those girls who live across the cam-
pus from the dining hall. But such
was their splendid spirit of co-opera-
tion, that they were "among those
present" who helped to make the eve-
ning,, a success. Again, better wom-
anhood in action, - *
To every girl who knows the driv-
ing urge of an ideal looking toward
better womanhood day by day, this
week has been a joy. And for every
girl who is animated and directed by
that kind of spirit, there are awaiting
other and greater joys along the road
to Better Womanhood.
PERSONALS
"From the creeping thing in the dust
To this shining bliss in the blue!
God give me courage to trust
I can break my chrysalis, too."
Rev. Virgil H. Fisher was returned
to the Polytechnic Methodist Church.
Because of his Buccess there last year
he was welcomed back by all of his
congregation. In appreciation of their
support and in happiness at his re-
turn, Brother Fisher gave a turkey

Friday, Nov. 15, at 7 o'clock.
C. C. Henson, A.A., B.D., formerly
