VOL. VI I. NOVEMBER, 1912. NO. 8. Value of Right Thinking.
Really what a man thinks has a lot to do with what th .:! thinker is. Somt-times we may get to thinking that even though our concl11sions are wrong, although our reasoning may be out of joint and out of time, that it doe not make much difference. But say, it does make a whole lot of dif ference. lt makes a difference because the man whose reasoning and con clusion are wrong is on the wrong track and ultimately be becomes the wrong k:ind of a man. A whole lot of merchants have arnved at some concl11sion on some question and they stick to the opinion, but many and many a time they will admit to you that maybe they are wrong, but they go on thinking the same old way. If such a man only knew it, he is wrecking hi .5 future. What a man thinks is one of the most serious things in life. The facts are that thinking is our life. What we think is really us. What we think is a measure of cur bigness or littlenes a a man. It makes a whole lot of difference as to what you think, and wi1ether or not your thinking is right or wrong. The facts are when a man's tho11ght is wrong, when his conclusions are w1ong, he is out of joint with everything and he is cro ing fixed and inevitable laws which are bound to pa s judgment on him and fix a penalty h{" must endure. It make a lot of difference what you think, an-I we (lught to be mighty < areful in arri\' ing at our concluc;ions We ought to pretty nearly know that the line or rea oning we follow and which leads u to the con~lusio , is based 011 sound principles. Just for in. tance, take a town where the bu ine sand professional men ay the town cannot he boo ted; that condition~ there cannot be m.ide any better than they are. Don't you know this kind of reasoning will kill any tuwu'? Mo t small towns have been killed becau,e of this very thrng. They were killed becau e the conclusions arrived at were wrong, and it is thi amf' principle which ha. led us tl,rough all thPse age to say that whenever a 1r1an quits going ahead, he begins tu die. It is thi.., reasoning which s 1ys to a wan that ltc cannot go a11y further, and at on( e starts the process uf de g1·ner,1t iu11 . 1111111 Ill I hl , l 1n11111 t,

He is careful, mighty careful, with his reasoning. Such a man is not afraid to take suggestions. He does not believe that everything some one else suggests or does i1 wrong. Sometime!': we think that many a young man ;rnd young woman who go through our chool , come out poorl y fitted for the battles of life, because in a chool-room they have not bf·en impressed with the £act that they think is almighty important to them. Some way or other they do not seem to get hold of the right principles of things. Possihly our college and universities need to look more to the basic thoughts, or principles, they put in the minds of the people whom they arc sup po. ed to teach. There ought to be more of the practical there, more of that somet hing which will make it possible £or them to more successfully rub against the rough side of the old world and make their way . Do not £org~t that right thinking means everything. Do not forget that what you think is a,. important thing to you . The Telegraph Proposal.
Ellen Scott sat in her room daydreaming. The suhject of her dream was at that time in ew York City, having gone there upon graduation from the university to tak _ a position a civil eng ineer with a large construction company. A Ellen recalled the days o( their year's acquaintance and their friendship which had undonbtedly grown into a stronger feeling altho nothing definate had been said, she found herself asking these questions-"Does Earl, in the rush of the city, t hink of me, pra _tically alone in this country town? Does he really care for me? Why, then, did he leave without making some expression of his love?" \Vhile Ellen was thus mu ing, Earl Hamilton, in the far away city, was exulting over his good fo rtune, for had he not received a promotion after only three months' work which not only me:mt that he had made good, but that he was worth $25 per month more than he was when be began. "But l am so tried of thi. bachelor life. With my professional success happiuess would be complete with E llen and a cozy little plot in Bollingwood." At this his feeling of affection for Ellen became greater and he was moved 10 . communicate these entiments to her by a means quicker than the mails. However, it was too !ate then, but early the fo ll owing morning he hastened to a telegraph tation and wired, " I love you forever." As Hamilton started to hi. work he was relieved to know that in an hour or so Ellen would know just how he was feeling about her at that time. Her morning walk had hrot rose to Ellen's cheek and her face was ra rliaut with happiness as she thot of Earl's ll~tter which would come on the morning mail But instead a yellow nvelop was handed her at the door, and she llir it "pen while dozelis of conjectures as to its ontents came tu her mind. "Mv lieav(•ns !" sh ejaculated, as she read, "I leave you for ever." I 111 t II

Chapel Talks.
On Monday, October 21, 1912 the chapel hour was given to Rev. W. R . Graham, '05. Rev. Graham gave an interesting talk from which b oth faculty and students were able to gather some good a !vi ce. H e used a text taking it from Luke 14:~8. He emphasiztd ''The Build ing of Cha racter." "It mean nothing, he said to have our emotions moved to the better and bigger lt1ing if we are nut willin ~ tu make some sacrifice.'' H e said that there were two important things necessary in character building as well as in any other con truction. 'I hese two neL essities are Mate rial and Cost. The "cost" is very important. Every ideal is combatant. Every time we make an impact on our ideal a reaction occurs exactly at the same time. At that place comes the cost. If you pay the cost y,)u go on building but if you withhold it you stop building. He stated th;i t what we needed was a "prepetual motive." Thi, perpetual motive i~ Jesus Christ. Rev. Graham is welcomed by both students and faculty to return whenever the opportunity permits. \fr. VJendall Foster, wliu is ".1µerintending Sunday School work in Erie, Pa., wa with u Thursday morning, October l 7. He gave a short talk during <.h.ipel hour. He empha i7.ed that all students should endeavor not to make .my enemies while going through bis collPge life. He said the best way to keep frvrn doing this was to be very careful in what you said and how you said it. HP returned to his work in Erie, Pa., the next day. He will return tu college during the next . emcster and will resume hi work in his studies. He is a member of the er1ior clz.s. and is expecting to graduate next spring. R~v. J. Alvin Orr, '97, gave a talk to the students and faculty in chapel, Monday morning, October 28 He took for his subject, "Our Talent of Ap preciation." He said that we ought to bury this habit of critJCism. That we were all too apt to criticise rather than to approve and appreciate something i,orneone else bas said or dune. He wished to empbasi e tint the only life wunh while is the "self-lcs. " life. ''Except a graill of whe.;t fall into the grouud and die it shall not live." Vl/e are all conn Lec.1 with people around tt,; by cords. We should ende,wor to use these cords for a good purpose and 110t try to cut them. He: left many good thoug·hts witb the students and t•1 nvo11e was glad of the opportu11ity to hear him. 11 I l I I

The team has had several good practices and the captain states that he is very well pleased with the outlooks. Ear I McClellan was elected captain with Bruce Anderson manager. Mr. Anderson has been able to schedule several good games and has many more in vif w. A trip is trying to be arranged to extend into the northern part ot the -,tate taking in such teams as Troy, Tiffin, German Wallace, Mu kingum and Wooste r. We hope that the team will be able to bring several strong teams here and a good game will be promised. The girls Basket Ball team is beginning to get into prar:tice. The pros pects are as hright for the girls as it is for the boy~. both having a strong team. Blanch Turnbull, Mgr., reports several good games already scheduled. 'fhey will play such team as Muskingum, Ada and Wilmington A tennis club was organized among the students this fall. Two good courts have been fixed up and repaired by the college making a nice place for the game. Owing to the weather lately not very much playing has been going on. But tennis will be a great sport when the weather becomes fit for pldying again next spring. Ral ph Hofmeister was elected treasurer of the club with Laura Wright as presidPnt and Blanch Turnbull as secretary. New nets and balls have been purchased by the club. Anyone may become a member of the club, whether in college or not, by paying a fee of 50 cents into the trf'a. ury.

The second course was composed of wafers and brick ice cream An evening of fun w;,.s enjoyed by about a hundred guests composed of pre ent students, former students, alumni, faculty and friends of tbe college. The boys showed the girls that they could get up something worth while even if they have not had but a few lessons in "The Domestic Science" de partment. Thanks must be given to the committee who Iabort'd so industrious ly to make the evening such a success.
"It Will Do."
FORMER STUDENT.
An author has just mailed his manuscript to a prominent book publisher in New York He sits wondering what the publishers will do with his b-,ok. He asks himself, will it be acceµted or will they return it tu him? Several weeks passed and all this time he has been going about his daily work thinking only ot his book and hoping that they may see fit to publish it. ln the course of a few weeks he receives a letter saying, that the manuscript had been examined and that it would do for publication. You can well imagine with what joy such a message would go to the heart of the authnr. And so to any one ot us. What an inspiraJ:ion it gives to dnyone to be told that his attempt will do. Perhaps we may nut do as well as some one else has done, but if we do our best and put forth our utmost effort to accomplish what ever is set before us, the most encouraging remark will bt>, "It will do" Many a one has been urged on to do more difficult tasks, to overcome greater barriers by being told that what he has done has been alright. We who are young need a great deal of encouragement in this way. We :tart ont with a determination tu overcome evay obstacle in our way, but we soun nnd ourselves too weak for the tests . Then we are prone to give up, 1111 I I
