President J. W. Hunt
Speaks in Chapel
The chapel period of November 21
was made one of the most interesting
of the yenr by the thirty minute ad-
dress of President Hunt.
President Hunt held the attention of
the entire assembly with an address
on "The Benefits of Education" and
gave sis an example of his viewpoint
that one per cent of the citizens of
the United States are college men
and from this one percent seventy-
throe per cent of the leaders in var-
ious lines arc choson.
President Hunt's chapel appear-
ances are looked forward to with
pleasant anticipation as Ills addresses
are ulwa.vs interesting and uplifting
and his popularity is shown by tlu
hearty applause that never falls ti
gteet his stage presence.

(As told by a newspaper reporter.)
Hecause of the violation of the one
law of Eden not to eat the fruit from
the "Tree of Knowledge of Good and
Evil" Adam and Eve were yesterday
txpelled from the Garden.
It was feared that they would be
tempted to lighten the curse which
had pronounced upon them by eating
off the tree of eternal life and in or-
der to prevent this action on their
part the Che rublm with a flaming
sword was placed guard at the east
gate. This dlsobciluience on Hie part
of Adam and Eve Is the first violation
of any law of God since the beglunlUH
The serpent. Eve said should suffer
for the crime since it was he who first
suggested blinking the law. Adam
was also involved in that he permittod
his wife to persuade him to loin hei in
eating the fruit.
. Immediately after eating the apple
Adam and Eve were discovered by the
Lord of Creation who was walking In
the Garden. He called them from
their hiding places and after question-
ing them pronounced a curse of sor-
mvv and uiiseiy and scut them weep-
ing from their home.
It is the opinion of many of the an-
gels that since the heinning of time
such marked Ingratitude has not been
displayed by any people of the earth.
The gardens which they occupied
were perfect and Its fertile and well-
watered valleys produced every spe-
cies of plant life In existence. Th"y
were unsurpassed In scenic beauty.
The God of the Universe had previous-
ly devoted six days in perfecting the
conditions surrounding the man and
woman.
A significant statement was made
concerning the changed nature of man
the Lord of the Garden yesterday.
