Y.W. G.A.ADDRESSED
BY DOCTOR KNOX
TELLS OF HIS WORK IX KOKE A;
MUCH I'liEASI'KE AS WELL AS
HOOD DERIVED FROM WORK.
Dr. Knox addressed a mooting of
the Y. W. C. A. Wednesday evening
lie spoke in part as follows
"I am more than glad to lie with
you tli is evening. I am always glad
to talk to a crowd of young people
In the cause of Jesus Christ. 1 am
glad that I have the chance to work
in a land where it means something
to be a Christian. In Korea you can
toll a Christian wherever you see one.
He is always clean in person and
life. His race is filled with an ex-
pression of joy.
"What does it mean to a young per-
son to liecome a Christian in Korea?
Jt means disgrace disinheritance and
a life of utter c'.esolation The father
no longer claims the son as It Is child
but turns him out into the world.
Korea has hen in power ever since
the days of David. They have their
old traditions handing down from
generation to generation. These tra-
ditions are contrary to the laws of
Jesus Christ but the children are
taught to 'believe in them. Also there
comes a time v. hen every one must
offer sacrifice to the spirits of de-
parted ancestors. The father with
his son always offers the sacrifice
for the son is taught to ever obey
the commands of his father. "When
the son acknowledges his belief in
Jesus Christ then he is disinherited.
Probably he is the first to ever dis-
obey a father. He is driven from
homo but he never murmurs a word.
"I have in mind an old man. It
had been the custom of the people to
have a man look after the sacrifice
and the graves of the dead for them.
They would pay him by giving him
large tracts of land. This old man
had held this position for twenty-five
or thirty years. He would go to the
graves and offer sacrifice to the
spirits of their dead ancestors. This
was no manual labor. In his old age
he became a Christian. He let his
family know of it and he was cast out
as a profligate. Although he was old
no one had pity on him. I saw him
not long ago. He is cast away. There
is no one to care for him in this
world. But he says he never worries
the Father will care for me This
shows faith and loyalty to Jesus
Christ. How mighty! How wonder-

REV. SHEAFOR GIVES
CHAPEL TALK1
STRESSES THE I3I1011TAXCE OF A '
'QIIET HOUR" OI'K STRENGTH
IX LIFE C03IES FH031 (JOI.
Chapel cxcerciscs were conducted
Wednesday morning by Rev. George
W. Sheafor of the Coggin Avenue
Baptist church. His theme was the
"Observance of the Quiet Hour" and
the earnestness with which he spoke
showed well that he puts in practice
the observance of a time each day to
have a quiet hour with God. !
He stressed the setting aside the
"Quiet Hour" in early life. If the
habit is not formed now while the
student is at his best time will not be
found to observe it later. The best
time to start is now while in school
and while we arc acquiring other
habits and then it will be no trouble
to practice it when we go out from
school. He showed that our greatest
strength in life conies from associa-
tion with God and tnat eac.i one
should make it a practice to commune
with him daily.
We are always glad to have the
local pastors address us at the chapel
hour and we hope that he may be with
us several times during the remainder
of the session.
I'liilo 3Icctiiiff.
On account of the unusually cold
weather of last Monday night many
were absent from the society meet-
ing. Yet the more faithful members
showed their loyalty and interest in
being present at such an unfavorable
time.
i The program was dispensed with
but our order of business was trans-
acted which equalled in importance
any program that could have been
given.
I The hearty expectation of those
present was to have the program ren-
dered as it was scheduled and their
persistent efforts made it an interest-
ing feature of the evening. The legal
proceedings would have been attend-
ed with much heated controversies
and lively interest no doubt. How-
ever the court was dismissed and the
trial continued to another meeting of
the tribunal as it is considered very
essential in justice to the defense to
have every witness present both for
the defense and the 'prosecution.
! Every member be present next
Monday night and do your part In
carrying on society work.
Miss Myra Dameron visited home
folk at Blanket Sunday and Monday.

the first game the Brittoniles were
unable to score en the Yellow Jackets'
but succeeded in crossing their goal
in the second game. However they
put up a much stronger fight on their
homo grounds than when they came
to Urownwood. The Yellow Jackets
also showed great improvement over
the former game. They showed bet-
tor defensive work than at any time
this season ttiltton's heavy back
fold repeatedly plunged our line but
were never able to make any consist-
ent gains. If the Yellow Jackets con-
tinue to improve as they have in the
last two or three weeks doubtless
there will be a different story tc toll

A Correction.
In the Prism of November 10 in
the article "Where Did the Seniors
Come From?" there appeared the
statement that two of the present
seniors will succeed in making their
course in three years. This state-
ment is not literally true. While it is
a fact that only three yeai'3 have
elapsed since these two seniors en-
tered Howard Payne in addition to
the three long sessions they have
done summer work.
The rule bearing on this matter
adopted by the A-plus colleges of
Texas reads as follows:
"Required for graduation The com-
pletion of four years of work of
thirty-six weeks each with an aver-
age of not less than fifteen sixty min-
ute recitations per week. During each
year the student may not complete
as a rule more than one-fourth of the
requirements for graduation except
when making up conditions. Should
the college have four quarters of
twelve weeks each then a student
may graduate in less than four
years."
Howard Payne is scrupulously liv-
ing up to this rule.
Miss Gertrude Baker spent Sunday
and Monday with home folk near
Bangs.
Miss Mattie Whitten was real sick
for several days this week but is
albout well again.
LECTURE ON ECONOMICS
HEARD BY STUDENTS
3IH. KAHLERT HIVES INTEREST
IXU LECTIRE HOW CORPORA-
TIOXS All) THE PEOPLE.
The students of Brownwood High
School Daniel Baker and Howard
Payne colleges attended the lecture
given tit the Lyric theatre last Tues-
day afternoon by Mr. Kahlcrt stcrc-
opticaii lecture which was instructive
and impressive Ho presented very
facily the viewpoint of the capitalist.
By picture and word the vital relation
and importance of co-operative in-
dustry to the "Miierican people was
forcefully shown. In fact his address
was a plea for the present system of
industrial organization.
Mr. Kahlcrt began by saying "I read
accounts of the great crowds that
greeted Mr. Hughes and Mr. Wilson
on their campaign tours but I. think
if they could look in upon this
splendid audience they would turn
green wifh jealousy." He referred to
his youthful apperance as somewhat
a handicap but asserted that his
task was no "boy's job." Here ho
told the old (but very applicable)
joke about the religious old negro
who was caught in the act of chicken
stealing and prayed very beseeching-
ly to God to come and deliver nim and
insisted that Ho send not His Son
because the task was "no boy's job."
The speaker said ho trusted we would
not have such an attitude toward him.
Mr. Kahlert said that in primitive
times the industrial organization con-
sisted of the home. He said the on-
ly industry of note was farming. The
crude methods of tilling the soil ir-
rigation harvesting threshing mill-
ing and cooking were illustrated by
modern pictures. He stated that the
family produced Just for itself in
those primitive days. He gave as a
reason for these crude methods and
the scant production of that day
that the people did not know how to
co-operate. The scene now changed
to the latest methods of farming
showing the great tractors drawing
scores of plows. The modern meth-
ods of harvesting were also shown.
This marvelous progress he said la
due to co-operative organization.
The disadvantages of the individual
and partnership methods were shown
and the advantages of the third meth-
od co-operation were pointed out.
Some of these advantages are: lim-
