The Z. If IU Lose One oj Their Members
Last Thursday afternoon Alta Mae Baker
received a telegram stating that she was to
begin teaching school at an early date.
Of course all of tho Z. II. B.s were grieved
at the thoughts of losing their "Dear ole
Bake". They v. ere confronted by how they
were going to entertain her as this would
be the last time they would tee her in a
long time. As they could not attend the
movies it was decided that they would go
to town anyway. At the appointed time
they departed from Zellner Hall but when
they came tn the Administration Building
they noticed that flashlight pictures were
being made there so they entered and had
their pictures made. After spending some
thirty minutes there they proceeded to
j town where a real enjoyable time was had.
On their return trip they rame by Mrs.
Ilambo's to see her. After spending a
few pleasant minutes with her they re-
turned to the hall very tired but happy
and made the necessary arrangements to
accompany Alta Mae to the train the next
morning.

Various forms of calls or callings have
been in existence since the beginning of
man and all animal life. There are at
times peculiar responses within the soul of
both man and beast to invisible outside
stimuli! stimuli! arising from nature on
the part of animals and from nature and
the situation of civilization on the part of
man.
You may capture a wild animal when it
is young and raise it with the most care
ful treatment but nlmost invariably there
comes to it the call of nature that causes
it to break its relations with man and
return to the wilds. The domesticated dog
has been known to quit man's fireside and
take up with packs of wolves. Even man
receives the call of the wild at interval
and he responds by spending a few weeks
or a month a year in outdoor life.
Just wha causes individuals to respond
to certain calls is not clear. Certainly the
animal side of man'a nature responds thru
instinct. Hereditary and training no doubt
influence the intellectual response to vari
ous callings.
There ore a great number and variety of
calls. The call of nature which we Have
already mentioned the call of the battle
which has been so well answered In the
recent past the call of the sea which
surges in the breast as one gazes out over
the expansive blue the call of the forest
whicl) causes one to spend a lite In the
woods the call of the foreign fields which
induces missionaries to devote their lives
with the heathens. Hundreds of others
could be named without exhausting the
list but the call which interests us now is
"The. Call of the Future."
The call of the future is ringing louder
and clearer today tlian It ever has before
hecause the world lias just emerged from
the greatest conflict in warfare for which
it has been preparing for the last half cen-
tury. The results of this war places the
hearts of all sane thinking men In a more
recipient attitude for the discontinuation of
future wars than past results have. Thus
the call of the future partakes of
"God is not dead nor doth he
sleep
The Wrong shall fall
The Hlght prevail."
"Willi peace on earth good will
to men."
The call sounds a note of preparedness
NOW against greater conflicts In the fu-
ture. And it is addressing itself in par.
ticular to the )oung men and women of the
world. It is too late for old men like Wil-
son Taft Bryan and Edison to answer the
call which we of the younger generation
hear. They will long have been out of the
rac'e by the time we are rendering our
greatest service.
So it Is our privilege to have lived thru
jhe greatest of all world conflicts to bear
(he call of the future entreating us to pre-
pare now for1 everlasting peace to hold up
before our eyes the works of great men In
tho past to sec where' they might have

improved and to profit by their experi-
ences. It is our duty to answer to the call
with might and main to put away alt self-1
ish seekings as a nation to study into
national problems and be ready when we i
are called to guide the "good old ship of
state" thru perilous straits and rapids.
Then
"There shall come from out of this
noise of strife and groaning
A broader and a juster brotherhood;
A deep equality of aim postponing.
All selfish seeking to the general good.
"There shall come a time when each
shall to another
He as Christ would have him brother
to brother.
"There shall come a time wlwn
brotherhood grows stronger
Thow the narrow bounds which now
distract the world '
When tho cannons roar and trumpets
blare no longer '
And the iron-clad rust and battle
flags are furled;
'When the bars of creed and speech
and race which sever
Shall be fused in one humanity
Foroed." x
