The Gavelyte, May 1911

C~ DA H. VlLLE COLLEUE. 136 against the college. I believe the time has come for the people of Cedarville and vicinity to declare themselves decidedly for or against the college. For the Reformed Presbyterian church throughout the land, and those who yet love that church but are deprived of its fellowship to declare themselves for or against Cedarville College. The time has come when this college can no longer live by assuming the attitude of a humble suppliant. If the time is not here, when she can make some DEMANDS upon those who have b!;!en blessed by that which she has freely given, that time never will come. I say, let us take this tide "at its flood." It alone may "lead on to fortune." The Trip to Wilmington. BY W. F. FO TER. Talk about Sunday School and Sunday School classes. Now Aunt Mary does not talk about anything else unless you bring in Woman Sufferage or Na– tional reform. Last Sunday she became so interested in the subject of National reform she forgot about dinner. It isn't often we have chicken at the club and we hate to have it burn or the cat get it. That's what happened Sunday. That is the cat didn't get it but Aunt Mary forgot about the fire and contrary to a never failing rule that chick was cooked- cooked till one leg was altogether gone. The other one turned black and the rest something like a block of con– crete. But I'm not to talk about the club. It's of the Base Ball team I wish to speak. What I have been trying to say is, that our base ball team is a Sun– day School. That is most the time and nearly all the boys are gentlemen altho Joi;:ephine says there are not any gentlemen in college. But returning to the base ball team. They are all Sunday School boys except Yoho. He's the Duke you know and Dukes don't go to Sunday School. That's the reason he makes a hit with the Ladifls. But we will tell about that later. There is a whole lot to speak about first. Not a city lot where they have the circus. I mean I have much which I must tell. Now I am coming to my subject. I'm like a preacher. I must warm up to the subject. You see it was this way. Cedarville College base ball team was to play a 2'ame of Base Ball with Wilmington College over at Wilmington Friday May the 5th in the afternoon. Wilmington is twenty-five miles from Cedarville and the Wilmingtonians are all like Yoho. They are not Sunday School scholars. But they have no Dukes. You know Elmer Waddle don't you? He's the fellow that runs the Livery · Stable. Well he 's the fellow that was to drive us over. He thot it was too far for him to ride so he sent his "little brother" Forest. Forest is a nicer boy than Elmer and if he is little he can whip his brother. Anyway he is the one who drove the big canvas wagon with the big grey team. We got started about a quarter after nine, after saying goodbye to relatives and friends- that is all
