OF CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION

M. Srevatann. 5, Describes How
Religious Ideas Change

Discussing lier own religious problems
and adjustments, M. * Stewardson,
president of thé Christian Association,
spoke at véspers last Sunday night.

- *T suppose I have changed my mind
over what I believe about as many times.
as the average person does in college,”
she said. “When I came I didn’t know
what I believed, and-wished that I did.
rAfter that, I suddenly settled everything,
and knew just what I believed. Of
course I discovered. after about a month
that I had worked myself into aii émo-
tional state of excitement, and that it was
obviously impossible to. fit all of life into
a neat little plan. I then varied from ag-
nostic, to luke-warm Christian, depending
on what idea struck me last. I muddled
myself continually, but with an ever de-
greasing anguish of mind. The more onc
‘knows, the more evident it becomes that
@ne cannot make bend dried schemes
about. life. The more independent one
becomes, the less one tries to settle every-

whys and whats of the universe as one
learns to live in it a little better. _

That is why ‘something I saw this sum-
mer impressed me far more than all
things people said,-or I have read, about

figure ona wooden ‘cross. I liked it so
much because he seemed to be a man.
Not just the very beautiful head, but the

but even in death he seemed to live.

SUPERIOR SPEED WINS VICTORY



Varsity was overwhelmingly beaten by _
Germantown in the first game of the
season last Saturday morning with the
score of 9 to 0.

The playing was swift and widespread,
the ball traveling rapidly from one end
of the field_to—the other. There wae
much clean passing and clever stick work
especially on the .part of Germantown.

The Germantown team. played a fat
quicker game than Varsity and outwitted
Bryn Mawr often by the speed dnd
cleverness of their dodging, The defense
stiffened but was’ unable to hold back
the victorious team.

In the second half. the Vagsity backs .
fought desperately but the opposing for-
wards rushed the ball with such speed
and determination that a goal almost in-
variably resulted. §. Walker, ’26, was
most effective in checking the forwards
and made some brilliant shots, while the
goal keeper, G. Macy, '26, cleared well.

The line-up was:

Germantown—Morgan, Brinton, Wie-
ner, Parke, E. Weiner, Berger, Buchanan,
Brown, McLean, Thomas, Ferguson.

Varsity—M. Talcott, ’26; E. Nichols,

ANATOLE FRANCE
One of the. most outstanding contem-

__ porary. writers and the -most—brilliant

novelist in France today has died.

The fame of Anatole France does. not
rest merely on his perfection as a stylist
nor on the variety of subjects that he
studied. His eminent position was due to
the fact that his intellect and sympathies
weré versatile and comprehensive. A
definite philosophy whose strength lay in
a réaction from original convictions po-
sessed him during his maturity and later | .
life. From mysticism he turned to strong
anti-clerical opinions and from political to
ardent socialism. But while indulging in
strictly intellectual reasoning he acknowl-
edged limitations. We find in La Rotis-
serie de La Reine Pedauque: “Truths de-
tected by the intelligence will ever remain
sterile. The heart alone conceives dreams.
It pours the water of life upon everything
it loves. Seéds of good are sown in the
workd by. the.feelings..Reason has no such
power. Since I have followed over much
the dictates of reason in my criticism of
laws and manners my judgment will fall
without gruit and will wither as a tree
bitten-by April frosts; To help mankind
one must reject reason and rise on the
wings «of enthusiasm.” His convictions
were always founded on common sense.
After Germany’s aggression in 1914 he

abandoned an established pacifism and]-

offered his sword to France; his services
were refused on account of age but he
published a paper for the encouragement
of patriotic - morale. The tolerance : of
wisdom probably expressed him more
truly than radical. theories. In his con-
ception of what man should be both
qualities have their place: “The one com-
pensation for. life is intellectual curiosity
and our chief duty is to feel pity for the
suffering of man’.”

NEW ARRANGEMENT IN .
GENERAL ENGLISH COURSE
Doing away with mid-year and final ex-
aminatiotr by a new ruling concerning the
English Composition course at Bryn Mawi
has caused much rejoicitig and relief among
the undergraduates affected. Most of the
students have felt the futility of final exami-
nations in such a writing course. If the
principles of writing and the _ illustrative
matérial studied are applied to a carefully

thought out report which is the climax of}

much preparatory writing the student's
writing ability will be demonstrated more
clearly and fairly than it could soagihly be
in a short, hurried’ final.

Since the reading in English eee
will form the subject matter of the reports
in English Composition without doubt both
courses will benefit. The result will be
greater familiarity with the assigned reading,
a more exhaustive study/6f it, and a more
careful attention to the form in which it
is Written.

Formerly one could scarcely hope to as-
similate all the reading crowded into one
semester: - With the “new arrangement in
effect and the literature spread over the, en-
tire year the reading can have a wider range
and be much. better_appreciated and‘ di-
gested.

In- short, the recent change in General
English seems to be a change for the better
in every way. %



SOCIALISM IN SILK STOC€KINGS
The forthcoming English Pection, one
gathers’ from the newspapers, will be fought
over the personal habits of the Government
“Shall I,” says the exhausted taxpayer
“shall I support MacDonald again? Every
pne agrees that he is the best foreign, min-
ister in years, but then, he has a leg. How
can I follow a man who looks well in
kneebreeches and silk stockings?” “And,”
sighs another, “Trevelyan has made , great
advances in education, but dare I entrust
my children to: a man who never forgets
an aspirate? There.is.no place for ‘h’s’ in
true democracy, yet Harrow did not teach
him to drop a single one.” “Philip. Snow-
den, too,” cried,a third, “look at him., Do
I want a chancellor of the exchequer who,
at the command of a king, forsakes the
scissors of his office for a Court sword?”
It is time for the down-trodden aristocracy
to assert itself and save the Labor Govern-
ment. i oe

Oe.
Davis © fee
To the Edifors of the College News:

We have been informed that a large por-
tion of the studént body was “for” Mr.
Davis, but that we cduld state no definite
reasons for our stand. We have, therefore,
taken up the challenge and shall state simply
and briefly four reasons why we.are voting
for Mr. Davis.. :

To begin with, Mr. Davie past record
shows that he is a “fnan’ well-suited for the
position.

Then Mr. Davis’ readiness to declare his
opinions regarding national and international
affairs at the present time is particularly
refreshing and gives us confidence in him.
He‘ doesn’t beat about the bush~but speaks
out broadly and with perfect frankness, so
that-we- _exactly_what he stands for.
Among other things, he stands for a lower
tariff, without a huge reserve which should
be an ever present temptation to the integrity
of many’ who administer it. He also dares
endorse the League of Nations.

_ Since his nomination he has spent a good
portion of his time. in acquginting. himself
with the peculiar problems and difficulties
of all parts of the country and with the in-
dustries on which each region is dependent.
More than that, he has made ‘a conscious
study of our problems in order to work out
constructive plans for the solution.

‘But our international praplems, also, are
particularly important at present, since, of
course, our internal prosperity depends
largely on their happy solution. The situa-
tion requires the work of someone who is
well acquainted with it and with our ‘in-
ternational relations. Mr. Davis’ previous
experience and training have developed the
tact, the ability and the statesmanship which
the situation demands. ‘This last need
should, above all others, be considered in
making our choice at this time, and we feel
that no other candidate has this signal quali-
fication. —



>

““"M. Delphine. Housel, ’27.



La Follette
To the Editors of the College News:

It seems to me that these are two excel-
lent reasons for voting for La Follette. In
the first place there is the negative deci-
sion, arrived” at by the er of elimi-
nation. You may say: =

“T would not vote for Coolidge, stand-
patism and corrupt machine politics. - I
would not vote for Dayis, the use of the
injunction in labor disputes and free bar-
gaining between employer and employee.
Therefore, I must vote for La Follette.”

This negative vote is, howeyer, merely a
protest against the other candidates, and
my stand for La Follette is — posi-
tive.

In the first place I like his record, Both
in: Wisconsin and in the Senate he has stood
for fine policies and done ggod work. His
education of. the people of his own: State,
in even the technical phases of labor legisla-
tion and taxation, has brought about splen-
did results and made Wisconsin one of the
most advanced States of the Upion. His
Seaman’s Bill, passed in the Senate, has’
served as model for similar laws the world
over.

In the second place I like ‘his platform.
I admit that his policy on the League is
weak, but the League is coming regardless
of parties and is snot a really important
campaign issue. The checking of the power.
of the Supreme Court is a necessary meas-
ure for safeguarding the enforcement of the
will of the people. The Supreme Court
should exist, as the Lord Chancellor is Eng-

-|1and, to interpret laws and not. to veto

them. © Most important, — however, ‘are his

‘to stand aghast.



To the Editors of the College News!"

In this — election, “which: has been ‘eatlled
the most serious since Lincoln’s, probably.
half of Bryn. Mawr College is to cast its,
first vote for President. In making a choice
of candidates, we do not therely elect a
figurehead to occupy the White ‘House, -but

we éstablish or imperil America’s welfare .

‘for far longer than the next four-years. The
wrong man in Washington will create chaos
not to be: remedied by future ‘elections; the
right mian will continue the progress we have
made since the aftermath of the war.

- During his administration Calvin Coolidge,
Republican nominee, has given a sane gov-
ernment; his record of “conscientious work,
safe policies and economy” shows that he has
adhered to the spirit as well as the letter

“of the oath sworn in the Tittle Vermont fatm

hottse more than a year ago. Either of the
other candidates would nat only fail to come
up to the high standard set ‘for him, but
would undoubtedly be a danger to the State.

John W. Davis, whose very nomination
was a compromise by the Democratic Party,
has several facts against him. He is an

(old man; and while this is, in_, itself, no:

barrier, Mr. Davis fails to show ‘the wis-
dom customary to age—quite the. opposite.
In spit of the fact that his party ‘has been
somewhat evasive of the issue, he shows a
strange rashness concerning the foreign
policy. In the pressure of great ‘interna-
tional difficulties he condemns that of the
Republicans as “tip-toe diplomacy.” , Two

obvious and venerable sayings are simul- 3

taneously applicable: the one, “no fool like

an old fool,” and the other, “fools rush in “~~?

where angels fear to tread.” Besides all this,
the election of Mr. Davis would also bring
in a Socialist Congress. _

The danger of Mr. Davis, howeiae is
small compared to the menace of Robert
Lafollette. “If ever- we neded a man like
Calvin Coolidge it is now when the radicals
are asserting themselves .to the extent of

1 running a candidate for the Presidency on

a platform that seeks to overthrow the Con-
stitution.” In his “campaign to-take from
the Supreme Court the final authority to
interpret the Constitution the Third Party
candidate is undermining the confidence of
the people on which all prosperity is based, .
with only disastréus results to follow. To
contemplate’ the subordination: of the Su-—
preme Court to the whims of Congress and
partisan politics is for every right thinker
his is only one. perilous
phase. The strongest influence in_ Lafol-
lette is Radical. To mention just a. few.
party adherents there are E V. Debs,
erstwhile wartime offender against the na-
tion’s safety; Theodore Dreiser, author of
the suppressed Sister Carrie; Margaret
Sanger, of the Birth-Control Review; the

-1 Steuben Society, the new “Kultur League,”
the American Association for the Recogni-
‘tion‘of the Irish Republic, all have sworn

loyalty to Mr. Lafollette. A laughable list,
I think, if it were not so serious. If the
‘contemplation of the possibility of such a
group. in power, side by side with its lead-
er’s prospective plan for government, is not
enough, let us see what Mr. La Follette has
done in the past.

DR. HUGH BLACK SPEAKS
ONCE MORE AT BRYN MAWR

(

Our Chaticter and Conduct . Depend

“What we believe is of supreme import-
atice, for life follows the fortunes of faith.”
This was the keynote of the sermon deliv-
ered in the chapel jlast Sunday night by Dr.
Hugh Black, professor at Union Theological
‘Seminary, in New York.

‘Man’s nature and his idea of God inter-
act, continued Dr. Black. The character of
his God determines in the long run his own





person he himself is disposes him to take
a. certain view of God, |
“If God be-thought of as indifferent to

oyrselves as to right and wrong? If God
be thought of us as injust, then there is no
guarantee of justice on this earth. If Ged
be thought of as thoughtless, careless and
pleasure-secking, then the whole human
world becomks soorter or. later a riot of li-
cense and Just. “If God is to us just, righte-
ous, holy and loving, then that must be the
ideal we admire and imitate.

“What we believe revenges itself on our- |

selves. When those who deny God suffer,

it is neither retribution nor accident.
“Man makes God after his own image.”
This charge, “often \bronght against. the

necessary. Because of the limitations of our
finite minds we can rot imagine things of
which we have had no experience.
‘“Whien we say ‘God is love,’ we begin |,
‘with the love that we know, the love that
is a fact of human experience. We sée
what our hearts give us power to see. We
cannot think unworthily~ of man without
‘thinking unworthily of God.”

‘of-God seems a vicious circle. It is not.
“We have no excuse for not knowing

duty to become stich a one as he. “Thou
must love me who have died for thee’.”
‘Dr. Black has preached at Bryn Mawr
often before, the last time having been at
the bacclaureate service last. spring.

BOOK REVIEW

'Balisand; Joseph Hergesheimer; Alfred
A. Knopf. i

‘Mr. Hergesheimer has written Balisand
as a picture ‘of Virginia in the days that
preceded and followed the Signing of the _
Constitution. In the centre of the pic-
tre he has placed the fitting and signifi-
cant figure of Richard Bale, officer of Wash-
ington’s army and plantation owner. As a
picture the story is convincing though too
long drawn out. In fact Mr. Hergeshei-
mer seems peculiarly fitted to this impersonal
type of narrative by the inflexibility of his
style. His writing seems petrified. It is
cold and smooth anid so achieves an appear-
ance of. solidity... At the same. time one is’
more likely to see the words of ‘his de-
scriptions than the things described.

On the surface the baok, though inani-
mate, stands firmly on its feet as a finished
product of Mr. Hergesheimer’s pains.

he chose to portray... I do not think he
could have created so beautiful a work

standing nee a little bit of that glori-
ous life for othets to understand.

“I have come to understand a little ol
what His life was—understand the glory
and the triumph of His life. And that
which He lived to prove séems very real:
that you cannot live unless you love with
all your heart that which you do. Christ

vision, and great understanding, because
nothing turned Him-from following- His
vision and giving everything ik had to.

“To me, living after the example of
Christ, means giving every bit of yourself
to what you do....Few of us have great
vision to follow, and it is hard for us
t follow even those ‘small glimpses which,

we have. Also, most of us don’t, know
what we are. going to do in life. It would
‘seem easier to give ourselves. to some

definite thing which we could see grow
beneath our hands. But, after all, living
after the example of Christ means, not
