NUMBER 2
PRESIDENT HARDY
SPEAKS BEFORE T
A GOOD CROWD HEARS HIM ON
VERY INTERESTING
SUBJECT
President Hardy of Baylor Col-
lege, Belton, spoke at the Y. M. C.
A. Sunday evening on "Rendering
unto Caesor the things that are Cae-
sar's and unto God the things
which are God's." He handled the
subject in an earnest and helpful
manner. The substance of his re-
marks were:
"Patriotism and religion do not
conflict. You are under the same
obligation to Caesar as to God.
There are only two permanent re-
lations in your life: your relation
to God and your relation to hu-
manity. All that is within you,
your capacity to think, to act, to
love, to sympathize, all, everything,
you owe to Caesar, to your fellow-
man. You are not your own like
the soldier who owes his life to the
service.
"Don't be concerned with get-
ting something out of life. Life
doesn't consist in the abundance of
things that you possess. Put all
you have into life, your best self,
the noblest man of which you are
capable. Excel your best self. You
can't be a blessing until you are
blessed.
"Don't become impatient. You
have never seen a tree grow. You
can't render something unless you
have it. Develop your personality
to the limit, God is holding you re-
sponsible. Then use it, not for
yourself, but for .the greatest world
good, benefit, of humanity, the glory
of God, carrying on the Kingdom
of God.
"Prepare to do your best, be
your best for country and God.
You must be something if you are
to do something.''

DR. CLARENCE D. USSHER
SPOKE HERE FRIDAY
EMINENT MEDICAL MISSION-
ARY SPOKE HERE FRIDAY
Friday afternoon Dr. Clarence
D. U ssher, medical missionary of
Van, Turkey, spoke to the South-
western University family of fac-
ulty, students and friends, giving
an address of some seventy minutes
on his work in Armenia and the
great opportunities that exist in
that stricken country for still great
work.
In beginning his speech Dr. Ussh-
er put up a map and located his
station of Van on the map, saying
at the same time that he was H thou-
sand miles east of Constantinople,
a hundred miles from Mt. Ararat,
and fifty miles from the nearest
Turkish border, with an altitude
and climate very similar to that of
Colorado Springs.
Having located Lis station. Dr.
Ussher proceeded to visualize it to
his hearers, but relating incident
after incident or the city's history,
pertaining both to his own work
and to the general history of the
town.
The story of th<-r Turkish gover-
nor who ordered all Christians to
leave Van, the story of the heroism
of the Armenian martyrs, the storv
of the violation of American rights,
the story of German intrigue and
German atrocities, the story of the
horrors of the Armenian massacre,
the stories Of the brave Armenian
women who risked their lives that
they might supply their husbands
with the munitions of war, the story
of Armenia's great need, and final-
ly the story of how each American
is called upon to answer the cry of
Armenia's need.
In concluding, Dr. Ussher said
that he had told the stories of hor-
rible cruelties not to enjoy the mere
pleasure of telling a harrowing tale,
but in order that WE might see
how great was Armenia's need.
Dr. Ussher was an entertaining
speaker and had a message of truth
to present. Those who did not
hear him missed a rare opportunity
SOUTHWESTERN TAKES
ONE FROM MERIDIAN
On last Thursday Southwestern
defeated Meridian in a close and
snappy game of the national sport.
Southwestern's sole run came in
the sixth when, with two down,
Edens hit and went to second on a
hit by Curtis. Foster knocked a
line drive over second base for two
bases, scoring Edens.
Bryant pitched a three-hit game
for Southwestern and was never in
danger of being scored on. The
fielding of McDaniel on first and
Farrington on second was perfect.
Several times Southwestern had
men on third with one down but the
needed hit never came. Foster's
catching was of the highest" class
and his two-base hit scored the only
run of the game. Besides this two-
bagger he also got another hit.
Hooks, Meridian's young twirler,
struck out nine Southwestern men,
and only gave up seven hits, four
of which were bunched in the
fourth for the winning run. Good
fielding featured on both sides.
Meridian College has a good base-
ball team, hich is evident from the
score of Thursday's game. They
have lost but two or three games
this season.

SOUTHWESTERN LOSES Y. W. C. A. VISIT
TWO GAMES TO T. C. D.
SOUTHWESTERN GOES DOWN IN
DEFEAT IN BOTH GAMES
AGAINST T. C. U.
The T. C. U. baseball aggrega-
tion invaded Georgetown ami cap-
tured two baseball games from
Southwestern. Hard fight, howev-
er, featured the capture.
The first game was a two-to-one
affair. Lowe, for Southwestern,
pitched four innings in which not
a man reached first.. In the sixrn.
Hale got on by error by Young.
Hardin popped up to Lowe. Pren-
zing Lit and Hale scored. Stokes
relieved Lowe with three on and
one down. Baker laid down a per-
fect sacrifice, and Prenzing scored
the winning run for T. C. l\ Stokes
held the visitors for the reinaiiu"s r
of the game.
Southwestern hit 11aire in al-
most every inning. In the first
Farrington hit. McDaniel got on
by error by Hale. Others retired
in order. Such was the game until
the third when Farrington hit for
the second time, steals second and
third while Baker strikes out. Mc-
Daniel hits to infield. Curtis sac-
rifices Farrington across the plate
for Southwestern's only run. In
the eighth McDaniel hit after one
had been retired. Curl is got 011 by
error. Young popped up to Sto-
yall. Cawthon was hit by Haire,
filling the bases. Meyer relieved
Haire. Edens whiffed in vain at
three.
The feature of the game was Far-
rington fielding, hitting and fine
base running. Out of four trips to
the plate he garnered out three hits
and walked once. Besides stealing
second four times, he stole third
once, totaling five stolen bases. He
fielded around 1,000, robbing T.
C. U. of at least two clean hits. Ba-
ker played a good game at short,
making every chance good. Bat-
teries for T. C. U., Haire, Meyer,
arid Raley. S. U., Lowe, stokes and
Foster.
T. C. U. took the second game 6
to 3. The attack began in the first
inning. Baker fumbled one off of
McKee's bat, allowing him to get to
first. Raley sacrificed McKee to
second. Ilale took a three-base hit
from Campbell's offerings, scoring
McKee. Haden bunted perfectly,
scoring Hale. One hit, one error
and two sacrifices netted two runs.
T. C. U. scored again in the third.
Meyers knocked a long fly to Wil-
sop. Cawthon dropped McKee's
fly to left field. Raley flew out to
Curtis who failed to peg home and
McKee scored. Hale, next up, steps
into one and lifts it to the club
house, only to be caught by Caw-
thon. In Southwestern's half of
the third, Wilson singles. Egger
was put in to hit for Campbell. He
met the first ball thrown by Meyers
and it cleared the left field fence a
safe distance. The other three re-
tired in order. Southwestern even-
ed things up in the fourth. With
one out, Young singled And Baker
hit for two bases, scoring Young.
Bryant relieved Campbell in the
third and pitched good ball until
the seventh, when Stovall got a hit
and was sacrificed to second by
Meyers. Raley hit and Stovell
went to third. Hale hit for two
bases and Stovall and Raley scored.
Edens. substituted for Bryant, end-
COUNTY POOR FARM
INMATES OF POOR FARM
CHEERED BY Y. W. C.. A.
On Sunday afternoon, April 21,
thu misionary committee and sev-
eral other V. W. C. A. members
made one of their frequent visits to
the County Farm and spent a pleas-
ant afternoon with the inmates
there. It is wonderful to see with
what delight they welcome these
girls, who seem to them like inhab-
itants of another world come to
share the. blessings of that world
with the less fortunate. Besides a
few "eats," the committee took
some old papers and also several
Billies. The Bibles, which had been
promised for some time, were dis-
tributed among all of those who
can read; and it is needless to say
how much they were appreciated,
for out of the nineteen inmates only
one bad had a Bible.
Do you ask where we got the mon-
ey for these slight luxuries? That
is our secret. The Y. W. C. A. of
Southwestern has ii faithful friend
who sends a monthly contribution
to the missionary committee; this
donation, called the "Flack Fund"
is heartily appreciated, not only by
the girls themselves, but also by
those who receive the gifts it buys.
Before leaving, the girls sang re-
ligious songs and held a short pray-
er service, as they do 011 all their
visits. These girls have* made sev-
eral such visits and are planning
to make them even more often, for
they realize that one of the best
works our Y. W. C. A. can do is
here among the poor, whom Christ
said are always among us.

ed the inning.
Edens also proved ineffective
against T. C. U. Prenzing got a
two-bagger and advanced 011 a hit
by Vaughan. Baker followed suit
by hitting fOr a couple of bases and
scoring Prenzing. Edens walked
Stovall and struck out Meyers. A
very pretty double play occurred
here. McKee bunted a grounder
into Edens' glove, who threw to
Foster and forced Valighan home.
Foster threw to McDaniel in time
to gei, McKee.
Southwestern lost her last chance
to score in the eighth. With Fos-
ter on third, Young was caught off
first for the third out.
Rayel's hitting featured the
game.
Batteries: T. C. U., Meyers and
Raley. S. U., Campbell, Bryant,
Edens and Foster. Umpire, Flan-
agan.
