father. It aypian that the seal aad

flatita of eisfcar hat a safe eeeree
seems to he that of.eoashterwg the
hedy aa(aa agent for the purpose of
aUewieg the soul to develop. It seems
that the' measare ef the body may
be found by ascertaAiag the distance
it has carried the seal on its road of
distinct alms and It .often terns out
that the body is a hindrance rather
than a help. This is distinctly the
case if one gives over to physical ap-
petites and desires. The physical may
tend to bold the soul back in its
course of growth and development
and it is- at this point that the in-
fluence of the divine power or per-
sonality' ia felt This seeming magnet
ism on the part of that which is divine
seems to act upon and influence one's
soul independent of the physical.
Another feature of a ''philosophy
of life" seems to be the aspect of ser
vice. Success real success comes
through' service. This feature brings
in the element of love. Lovo if high
and noble is good. Lovo prompts to
serve which is given to the. many rul-
ing agencies of one's life such as am-
bitions Ideals and beliefs. Love should
be thought' of as .real and enduring
and if it is to accomplish the great
and desired aim must not be held
lightly or tampered with. Love brings
willing service which is an element
Or essential In the development of
the soul.
Still another element entering into
this discussion is the relationship one
bears toward the spiritual world. It
seems that against all doubt one has
full and adequate assurance of an in
visible world as well as one that is
visible. It appears logical that one
has experiences of a supernatural
world as well as' a natural since one
feels suro of the 'existence of the soul.
That God is seems to bb almost the
only truth beyond doubt when wo
search- our life's experiences. One can
hardly conceive of God just as we
are but one sees suggestions of him
given off through different minds.
There seems to be no conflict between
scieoca and God's plan. One .must
feel that man is spirit and immortal.
If one grants this then God is and
loves. These things considered then
when this physical life has assisted
the soul to its fullest capabilities
death will bo only a doorway to a
world of infinite progress and de
velopment
o '
A NEW METHOD NECESSARY
Br Charles P- Miller;.
"Simmons should have a "new.
method of electing student officers
such as tho petition system that has
been suggested before' stated .Pro
fessor .W. A. Stephenson of the gov
eminent department of the university
when interviewed by a representative
of the Brand Wednesday afternoon.
"Public announcment should bo made
of all general student elections in
chattel or throujth the Brand six
weeks before the actual date of elec-
tions" added Mr. Stephenson.
5In order that the election mightbe
entirely democratic all student
offices should be -open to all quail
fled students with preference given
of course to those with .the Simmons
spirit and with the ideals of the insti
tution at heart No nominations
should be made by classes clubs or
any other organization except by
petitions sighed by at least ten per
cent of the enrollment siuaenc ooay '
said tho Simmons professor.
' When asked if he believed that
arbitrary power of calling general
student election at any time should
be given to the president-'of the stu-
dent assembly-Mr. Stephenson stated
emphatically that such power should
not be given the head of an organiza.
tlono calling Itself democratic such
as ine siuaeni. poay oi mo uiucoii.jr.

"I belleve'that we should have a con-
stHutioa for. our student assemniy in
so faai giving the methods and dates
of election and In giving the authority
of the various officers" he concluded.
The interview with Mr. Stepnenson
an authority on governmental science
was prompted by the Brand's effort to
Ket -various opinions on our present
form of student government There
has been a great deal of agitation on
the part .of a number of students this
year to establish a business' like or-
ganization to take the place of the
make-shift affair set up when student
self-government was abolished in Sim-
mon's In spite of the demands for
this change and the demands for a
set date for student elections such
demands dating back.tp the fall term
no action has been taken by the s.tu-
dent .officers towards either of the
two questions at this time two weeks
after the elections should have been
held.
