Being one who would first admit of the fallacy of analogy. I begin this column with great fear and trepidation. for I am going to commit one of the cardinal sins and use an analogy. It should he remembered that an analogy is a teaching device, and not a device of proof. A principle in teaching is that one should proceed from the familiar to the unfamiliar That is the principle of the analogy. One picks out something with which the one to be taught is familiar, and then proceeds to point out the parallel parts to the point of learning. But It should be remembered throughout that analogy is an Illustrative device, and not as ergotic device.
The analogy which called forth the above is not an analogy that would say "boo” even to the most timid reader, but It has been used by "sweet-lemons" since the days when the Civis plodded his weary way along the old Roman road, fell
Play Night Held For Gamesters Tomorrow
Macampus' first All-School Play Night will be held tomorrow night in the gymnasium from 7:30 until 10:00. This event is given by the physical education departments un--der general direction of Miss War-ner and coach Hayden.
Beginning at 7:30. Jack Vetter and Merlin Frants will demonstrate the proper way of playing tether ball. This is a new game in this locality and few students have seen It played. Immediately following the dem-onstration, students may participate In any of the available games they desire However, persons are expected to take part In a variety of games.
In the gym proper will be two games of volley hall In charge off Glen Funk. Doris Voshell. Edith Spengler, and Raymond Goering. Ping-pong and shuffle board will be supevised by Lois Lawson. Maxine Ruehlen. Bob Burkholder, and Earl Brubaker in the game room.

This is the first time an event of tills type has been carried out on Macampus and all students are urged to attend to make the fun-fest a successful affair
Host and hostess for the evening will be Dean Stucky and Ruby Peterson respectively.
Dr. Albert Buckner Coe spoke In chapel Friday morning an "A Flan for Life”. I think many people have the question In their minds as to the meaning of life. The law of usage is the law of life”, stated Dr. Coe.
"All of us have a certain amount of resilience; we bounce back. When we are down we sometimes forget to come up . .. The more we think, the happier we are. We should have a spirit of Inquiry and an "I want to know” attitude."
Dr. Coe's address consisted of four points, namely, self-understanding, an unconquerable craving for knowledge. an urge to do that which people say cannot be done, and the placing of trust In the hands of an understanding God.
Miss Virginia Kerlin sang a solo preceding the address by Dr. Coe.
A sacred program of music followed chapel with numbers by Miss Eleanor Moyer Miss Arline Seidel. Men’s Quartette. Women's Quartette, Choral Club. A Cappella Choir, and a double chorus number.
Sponspred by the Student Council of Macampus, a "continually sing” was the feature attraction at chapel on Monday morning last. Led by Keith Pierce, president of the A Cap-pella hair, the audience responded with vim, co-operated with vigor, and sang with vitality. Evidently Pierce's deep bass rumbled a challenge to the oft-times otherwise larynx-less chapel crowd, because the din was terrific, everyone adding his little bit to the general uproar.
Outstanding vocal activity was dis-
played on these old classic: Reuben and Rachel, Standing In the Need or Prayer. Steal Away. Solomon Levi. The Spanish cavalier, Deep River. Soldier's Chorus. and Drink to Me Only With Thine Eyes.

Now that spring is here? and basketball season is over, a young man's fancy turns to track or even tennis If snow shoes were provided, for the players. Yes, basketball season is over and we look back at the past season regretting that for the school year 1940-1941, basketball Is no more. We had a good team, In spite of the fact that many games were lost by a one-point margin, and with the past season marked down In the experience ledger,'' next year the same team, with the exception of one senior. Rollin Wannamaker, is going to give the conference teams a run for their money.
This past season was a spirit-breaker If there ever was one In spite of this fact, the fight went on. with the team feeling a little glum at times, perhaps, but never-the-less, fighting.
With the closing of the season, we are closing, at least temporarily, our memory pictures of games we have seen In review. we see Brust, heading for the goal, impetuous In his de-sire to make a bucket in spite of op-
position: Schubert with his persist-ence, even doggedness In following his man. and retrieving the ball for the home team; Holmes, Herculean In physique, moving efficiently across the court; French, the hotshot of the team in dropping in a "now or never" shot. Jones, ever anxious to work the bull to his teammates advantage, passing to a fellow playen; Wanamaker. “Old Standby". In all. athletics during his four years here In Macollege, playing his last basketball; Benny Unruh. agile in his movements, dashing "all over the court"; Jake Cramer. once more making his appearance In athletics, "per oneri.” but handicapped by a previous leg injury: and numerous other pictures of should-be-mentioned "basketeers" who contributed their share in making the squad what it was
The picture of Coach Tom Hayden, sitting on the bench sweating and becoming more fatigued than the players on the court, will linger long.
Yes. It Is with regret that we say "au revoir" to this season of basket-ball.

Evidently the American public has some reading interests other than in “screaming headline" newspaper stories, and some radio-listening habits beyond the ken of "Ma" Perkins-addicts.
In a communication released last week, the Columbia Broadcasting System indicated that it is increasing the broadcast time of its book review program. “Of Men and Books,” from 15 to 30 minutes.
Because 1,000 letters a week have praised it, this program, beginning Saturday March 1, heard previously on Saturdays from 12:45 to 1:00 p. m. Eastern Standard Time, will be on the network from 2:30 to 3:00 p. m. instead.
In announcing the increased time allotment for the program, Sterling Fisher, CBS Director of Education, Raid that Professor John T. Frederick, of Northwestern University, who conducts the program from Columbia's studios in Chicago, now receives more than 1,000 letters a week from listeners. A large portion of these asked that the program be given more time on the air.
Professor Frederick will continue on the program. So far as is known, this is the only radio network program for which undergraduate credit is given to students who attend the studio broadcasts.
Who said that Americans do not read?
Christ in Crisis
Not so long ago Bernard Shaw was quoted as saying that the only way peace can be brought to the troubled civilization of today in by returning to the teaching of Christ, Dr. Harry Emerson Fosdick says that what the world needs is a great revival. There is admittedly-nothing unusual in hearing a minister make a statement such as this, but when a playwright such as Bernard Shaw “who will go down in history as a particularly impious man," this shows his disqualitude surely it indicates an undercurrent of returning religion among laymen.
In this country the stores and shops are filled with busy shoppers. The churches are filled with huge crowds of worshipping people. This year, as the dictatorial powers sound a hollow mockery to Christianity, the crowds throning the churches will breathe fervent prayers for peace and democracy.
God grant that we, in our hubbub and complacent self-satisfaction, may feel a little sympathy for those less fortunate than we.
Pastimes
It would seem to a casual observer that a very good pastime for students of McPherson college would be to attend the various extra-curricular athletic contests.
The physical education departments go to a great deal of trouble and spend a lot of time to make the extra-curricular activities of the student body entertaining,
Students, when you have an extra bit of time, drop around to the gym and show that you wish to help to support the extra-curricular-physical-education program.

Ah snow, snow, beauteous, glorious, glistening, sparkling, and white! The once ill-foreboding clouds have been ruptured and their proverbial silver lining falls in a benevolent deluge upon poor, wretched, undeserving mankind. God's heaven-sent cloak of ermine to hide all sinfulness, filth and dirt that ungrateful man has accumulated and wrought upon the earth. Heaven's affirmation of God's might and glory! A timely reasur-rance from the Almighty that beauty. parity, chastity. and love still exist; all Is not chaos!
As the contrast between genius and imbecility is but slight, so is the difference between the sublime and te wicked. Thus, I come down from my soap-box platform and resume my miserable drivel of insignificant man and his puny struggle across life's brief span. Or an I be-coming too Crillosophical?

Where's Pinkey? was the theme on second floor of Fahnestock the other morning. Al Miller distinctly remembered going to bed with wifey Pinkey Lowber the evening before, but when he got up the next morning room-mate Pinkey Lowber was nowhere to be found! Al didn't give the matter much thought until he went to breakfast and discovered that Pinkey wasn't there. After an extensive search which yielded no satisfaction. Al was about to start calling the hospitals, police station, and dog-pound as a last measure to find his wife. Suddenly the investigation was terminated by the accidental discovery of the long-lost Pinkey sleeping peacefully—under the bed! Great was the resultant rejoicing and loud were the cheers.
down, spilled his load of apples, and blocked traffic with the ensuing scramble. The oldsters set down In their little black books the following epigram. Life is like a highway. Peo-ple succumb to temptation and cause the traffic to be blocked. If a man gets in too big a hurry he will run over someone else, and then society will have to prescribe rules for the highway, and keep such as he in line. Ah. yes, life la very much like a highway. You can readily grasp the antiquity of the idea. Life is also very much like a river, and elephants are very like trees, and ropes, and walls. (Remember the poem?) But not being one to beat the drums of apostasy, I will quit harping on “sweet-lemons” and get back to the thesis. Life is like a highway. Swallow your pride (or gorge) and keep on reading. I really do have something to tell you. The idea is not so bad If one doesn't try to prove anything with it,
The Idea for which this analogy is being set up grew out of a discussion some years ago about reality. As most of you know, any system of thought Is based on axiom a which cannot be proven, the systems that we accept without question are no excaption. We were discussing the two altarnative possibilities. One is that everything that I see is but a figment of my imagination. Nothing exists but my mind. All of the buildings all of the people: all of

Russia's statement has given Tur key hopes that the will allow no foreign aggression against Turkey, and to assure the rest of the world that she herself means business. Turkey has mined the Dardanelles. The English are still skeptical of Russia's stand since she did not rebuke the Nazis directly. The English continue to push the Italians all over the map of Africa and show no signs of weakening.
The United States issued an order signed by President Roosevelt which "freezes" Bulgarian funds which are in the United States at the present time. In fact, every important nation has been affected by the Balkan moves, and more trouble seems to be brewing with Yugoslavia threatening to Join the Tokyo-Berlin-Rome axis. The world is waiting for future developments and something is apt to develop If Nazi-Bulgar troops line up restlessly across the border from Turkish-Greek forces.
my friends: all of the governments: all of the mountains—everything In but the creation of my mind. The other theory is that them Is a real, concrete universe, and that ideas and concepts are only names for the real concrete things around us. Because the first theory does not give any Incentive for the laboratory method, and leads to delusions of grandeur, escapism, etc.. It has been discarded, and the second one has been accepted.
All of this began when the first man was beginning to conquer his environment with his stone axe, and learning to live with his fellows. He conquered his environment because be liked to eat, and he learned to live with his fellows because he liked company. And ever since then ha has learned more and more about supplying his wants. His within have become more and more refined. This Is the highway. As man learns more things, these become the accumulations of the race. These are the things that are milestones on our highway. We are not living now, detached from all the past and present. We have been carried this far on the highway by the past. We
are going to carry the race on a little farther to a more complete satis-faction in supplying its wants. Some legitimate human wants are desire of security, food, shelter, fellowship, kindness, a satisfying religion, love, And the road to take as we travel down this highway of life (I use the term advisedly) Is the one that will lead to better living, more complete satisfaction, that will lead humanity to contemplate loftier vistas, greater panoramas.
After one has come this far and decided what is the goal of all human endeavor, he can then decide upon the actual, specific, personal action to be taken. Socially It is a matter for debate In parliaments, a matter for the trial-and-error, honest-doubt, and vigorous Inquiry methods of democracy.

Check Comes from Estate of
S. G. Hoover, Plattsburg, Mo.
a check for $5,000 was in the morning mail today at McPherson college to add to Its growing build-ing fund and Indications are that work might be started on the proposed new boys' dormitory sometime during the coming summer.

Altho the Bible Is today the world's best-seller, the Christopher Sower Bible of 1743 was certainly not a commercial undertaking.
Sower, born In Germany in 1693, left his native land with his wife and Infant son in the year 1724. to settle In Germantown. Pennsylvania. He mastered an extraordinary variety of arts and trades, being clockmaker, glazier, physician, druggist, printer, bookseller, and being proficient In some twenty other undertakings. Bower was a deeply religious man; a mystic. Although too Individualistic to Join any church group, he was sympathetic toward the Church of the Brethren, his son later becoming a Bishop of the Church.
Sower obtained the type for his printing shop from Dr. Heinrich Eh-renfried Luther, of Frankfort, Germany. To Dr. Luther went ten copies of the first edition of Americas first Bible in a European language The box of Bibles was put on board the Queen of Hungary. As the ship neared St. Malo. In northwestern France, it was attacked by pirates and Its entire cargo sold ashore to the highest bidders. The man who bid on the box of Bibles found him
self In possession of something that he could not use. So, two years later, when Dr. Luther located him and offered him four Reichsthalers —the sum he had paid at suction— he was glad to give up the box. The story is found on the fly leaves of some of the Bibles In German libraries today, penned by Dr. Luther himself,
Christopher Sower's son Issued the 1763 and 1776 editions of the Bible, copies of which may be seen In the museum of our library. The edition of 1763 is the first Bible printed on American paper. Partial destruction of the 1776 edition, in sheets, is variously attributed by different historians to the American and the British armies after the Battle of Germantown,
That there were strong religious motives behind the establishment of Sower's printing business is evidenced by his statement that the price Of the Bible would be "eighteen shillings, but to the poor and needy we have no price". He also Considered the printing of his first Bible as a community undertaking, asking everyone to take part In It "so I may be sure how many copies to print."

Yes, we do have some rhymsters In our midst. Ramona Fries gave
me this poem:
The beauty of a sunset Is not seen every day,
The radiance of a moonbeam cannot
be seen for pay.
The daintiness, of snowflakes, the loveliness of song.
These cannot stay forever; but memories linger long.
The memories of a picture with colors ever bright.
The silent snow of winter on some December night.
A fireplace burning brightly with embers all aglow.
These memories I cherish, nor e'er forget. I know.
Also, Hubert Shelley contributes '•Challenge of the Night!"
Wonder of the night.
Thy mystery tells of Secrets,
Mildness of the night.
Thy warm breath beareth Comfort.
Stillness of the night.
Thy music chants in Worship.
Radiance of the night.
Thy soft glow whispers Courage.
Voices of the night.
Thy challenge wins a Pilgrim.

Lead Heavily-Favored Tiger Five But Lose In Photo-Finish
The Bulldogs ended their basketball season with what was probably their best-played game of the season Saturday night when they led the strong Hays State Tigers for 30 minutes only to lose In a photo-finish The Bulldogs tired In the closing minutes and Conch Hayden could not rope with the reserve strength of the Tigers.
The game ended 42 to 41. with the Tigers holding to their one-point lead, and with the Bulldogs again In possession of the hall and threatening to score. A second before the gun sounded a McPherson player shot and the ball rolled dangerously over the hoop.
McPherson at one time held an eleven-point lead late in the first half when they led the Tigers 25 to 14. This was the largest lead which the Bulldogs had during the entire content. but they hold substantial leads for the greatest part of the game.
The Bulldogs, with French and Schubert scoring. Jumped off to an early lead. 4 to 0. and from then on held leads which were near 10 points until the Tigers put on a spurt which cut the lead to 25 to 22. By half-time, however, the Bulldogs had built up the margin to 28 to 22.
With the Bulldogs tiring slowly, the Tigers cut down the lead to a smaller margin and with 5 minutes to go the score was tied, 35 to 35. The Bulldogs trailed 42 to 38 with but seconds to go but a field goal and a free throw by "Duke" Holmes ended the scoring of the game.
Art Schubert, McPherson forward was high scorer for the evening with 13 points and "Duke" Holmes followed with 10 points, Keller was Hays high scorer with 12 points. The ball handling and running was prob-ably the best that the home crowd has seen during the entire season,
