STETSON WEEKLY COLLEGIATE Students' Publication of Stetson University VOL. XXL DeLAND, FLA, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY J8, 1909. NO. J6. 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. SPECIAL RELIGIOUS MEETINGS.

To Be Held in DeLand in March. In regard to the union meetings that will begin March 1st and conducted by Mr. Geo.

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. Stetson University Presentation Day.
