Our attitude toward other people ought to show what membership in the Chris- tian Association‘means to us. It ought to make a vital difference in our lives.

TYSON Paul’s letters were the* subject of Dr. Stewart" “Pyson’s third “Bible lecture given ir Taylor Hall last Wednesday evening. Dr., Tyson explained that the chief rea- son for the—existence of the »letters :was the condition of the Christian churches. at the time, which made Paul. anxious to encourage them and exliort them to greater effort. He also had-a desire- to express his opinion. For this reason he wrote to the Romans of man’s relation to God, and to the Ephesian'’ssof the Chris- tian church. The Epistle.to the Ephesians was not: a letter in the exact sense of the Word, Dr. Tyson said, since it was not designe@&for any one church. “Out. of ‘what must have beén a_ most extensive personal correspondence only oie letter remains, the~Epistle ‘to~ Philemon,” Dr. Tyson stated. This-is an appeal to the owner of a runaway slave to forgive the culprit.

It is a collection of the very best stories of its kind, beginning with Oscar Wilde’s ever refreshing “Canterville Ghost,” and including, améng others, “The Ghost that Got the -Button,” by Will Adams, “The’ Haunted Photograph,”.. by Ruth M. Stewart, and Theophile Gantite’s “The Mummy’s: Foot.” Another collection on the shelf this ‘aii is “The Best Plays of 1920-21.” Here we have the familiar titles “Deburau,” ‘The First. Year,” “Enter Madame,” “The Green Goddess,” “Liliom,” Mary Rose,” “Nice People,” “The . Bad Man,” “Emperor Jones,” and the “Skin Game,” bound to be of interest to theater-goeys. As a book of the times, “Fruits of Vic- tory,” by Norman Angell, has come into the library.- Mr. “Angell is the “fathor “ot the “Great Illusion,” “Dangers of Half Preparedness,” and a number of other ‘volumes on modern’ problems. — ; £ “Le Roman-de Tristan et Iseut,” a new \y Joseph Bédier, is one of the most charming books on the shelf.

POLITICAL DUTIES OF COLLEGE WOMEN Delivers First Lecture ~ of Shaw Memorial Foundation in Politics “Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt, founder of. the Léague of Women Voters and for mdny — years president of the National Woman Suffrage - Association, delivered the -first lecture of the Anna Howard Shaw Chair ‘of Politics before a large audience in the gymnasium last Thursday evening at 830. “A foundation in politics at a-woman’s college is a most fitting memorial for Dr. Anna Howard Shaw,” said Mrs. Catt in the introduction to her lecture. “Dr. Shaw was a genuine: maker of. history. More than any other person she compelled the natign to change its mind about suffrage, and to write in the Federal constitution the result of its conversion. -She, was~ easily the greatest woman’ orator. the world has yet produced. For nearly forty years she fought, and pleaded, and then in the very moment’ of triumph, she died.” “You have inheritéd.a.baHot-share-in -the government of this nation, plus superiority of intelligence,’ Mrs. Catt told her audi- ence. “The machinery through which you must work is politics. Politics has been called ‘a rege process ®f electing un- known mento offices the duties. of which : are either unknown or _ uninteresting.’ Politics is’ also present history,” said Mrs. Catt... “It is ‘the drama played’; but though it doesn’t require much intelligence to understand history, provided it is well written, it requires the highest — to understand politics.” “You are among the thirty per cent. which controls the factors which ‘make civilization,” Mrs. Catt declared.- “The world of the future depends on your breadth of vision, the clarity with which you compel 6thers to see, the courage with which” you defend: your. -end,.” . Though government never reaches the level of the highest intelligences, Mrs. Catt believes that, - | fundamentally all people want. honest and just .government. “The American people are not always right but give them time and they will wobble right,” she quoted. “Our people’do not always know what they. want... The aim of ‘the greatest good to the greatest number’ is lost sight of in the moods and emotions of the political drama. No intelligent man or woman can exempt himself, therefore, from political service without corresponding loss in the welfare . of his country.. -For intelligence there is no divine right to privilege, but there is divine right to ‘service.” ..Mrs. Catt will lecture at 8.30 tomorrow evening on “How Politics Function.” IN PHILADELPHIA Academy sian ‘Thursday, Novem- ber 3, “TanpMauser,” in English.
