STETSON WEEKLY COLLEGIATE

VESPERS.
The Music Feature a Specialty.
About six hundred people attended
last Sunday's vesper services. These
meetings lose none of their power
and inspiration, as is witnessed by
the immense gathering. Dr. Hulley's
address was on the Sufferings of Jesus, and the main thought was that
salvation was possible only through
sorrow and suffering. In tender,
pathetic pictures, the intense agony,
the physical and mental anguish of
the Man of Galilee was revealed
with feeling and power. The beauties
of nature spring not alone from the
glories of sunshine and summar.
The oak towering in might on the
cliff or the lily lifting its pure chalice
from the black earth, can remember
the pain and agony of the bursting
seed and the weary groping to the
surface. Liberty is punctured by suffering; greatness in the truest sense
is attained through suffering Of
body or soul; all the grandest of
human accomplishments in art or letters, in statesmanship as revealed in
the noblest of statesmen—all are conceived in deep torture of mind and
heart and body.
Most befitting the theme of the
President's address, Miss Mary Zeig-
ler sang Handel's "He was Despised"
and Miss Conkling, Gounod's "There
is a Green Hill Far Away," and the
vesper choir closed the service with
"Surely He Has Borne Our Grief,"
from the "Messiah."
Friday's Game With the K. M. I.
This will be a hard struggle, and
the victory for Stetson will depend
to a large extent on the Stetson
loyalty and spirit. DeLand is full
of Kentucky people and we can be assured that the K. M. T's will have enthusiastic support Friday afternoon.
Purple and gold will be everywhere
in evidence. Let every Stetsonite
wear the white and green, get his
vocal chords in trim, and come out
prepared to boost (the team.
S. U. vs. Jacksonville.
The basketball game between the
Stetson and Dixie teams was more interesting than the score indicates.
Our girls won by a score of nineteen
to five. However the Jacksonville
girls made ours work for what they
got.
The team work displayed by our girls
proved that they were well trained.
Everyone played a good game. The
forwards did exceptionally good work
throwing goals from the field. No
better playing could reasonably have
been asked of the rest of the team.
Though our team outclassed the Divie,
no one seemed to mind that specially.
However we trust that the visitors got
what they did really care for, a good
time. They were entertained in Chau-
'~iti Hall. Everything was surrendered to them, even sleep. Saturday
miorning they were given an automo
bile ride.

In regard to the union meetings
that will begin March 1st and conducted by Mr. Geo. Mahy, Dr. Weath-
erford has written Dr. Hulley speaking very highly of the abilities of the
evangelist with college men. We publish the president's letter:
1513 Hayes St., Nashville, Tenn.,
February 12, 1909.
Pres. Lincoln Hulley,
DeLand, Fla.
Dear Pres. Hulley:
I am just in receipt of a letter from
Mr. Colton, one of the international
secretaries, stating that Mr. Geo. G.
Mahy, of Scranton, Pa., will be in De-
Land for a short time during March.
I do not know the exact time of his
arrival but I am writing to suggest his
name to you as a possible helper for
the association work there. Mr. Mahy
has been used with considerable power
at Pennsylvania State College, at Syra
cuse University, at Vassar and I understand also at Bucknell. It may be
well worth the while of the students of
Stetson to have him speak in a special
series of meetings with them.
Hoping that this may be of service
to you and your association, I am,
Yours sincerely,
W. D. WEATHERFORD.
