14 TI IE. GAV LYTE nnthorlti< s l new dcl'inil ly. 1,~iflh, tbN, is a dc111ancl for extra Hervic·r and money for r lief in .I.Durop . Jr ady the Am l'ican n cl ('ross ha:; rai" d a larg sum of money and sent several physicians and nurs ·S, togeth r with a large amount of s upplies, to Europe. Sixth, this anti– Chri tian and unholy war is causing heath n nations to stand back in wonder and amazement and ~ay: " If this is what Christianity is go– ing to do for us, we want no more oF it." The one bright spot in the dark cloud is that mi r:s ionaries can hold up the conflict of the European nati-ons, not as an example of what Christianity will do, 'but as an example of what greed and seHish ?mbition, things that are directly opposed to the teachings of Christ, will clo. DR . McCHESNEY STANDS SECOND AT WOOSTER . Ju<lging from reports received, from those who have visited in WoostElll' t'hiR summer, Dr. ,~. R. McChesney, who is teaching in the University Summer School, a position he has filled foll several years , stands next to Pnsident Dickas•on in the cs~imation of the 1,600 or more stwdents. ot only has the Dr. the ·student folk lauding his wo rk in the sC'hool, but the citizens of that city have been greatly at– tracted by bis addresses. ift 'has been knownr for two or three years that Wooster wanted the Dr.'s services and tempting offer s have been turned down that be might remain with Ced,arville ,College, his whole heart an,d soul being fixed on its future. 11'ith such reports coming from a,. dictance, it only makes us the more certain that Dr. 1 MC'Chesney should be the presidEnt of the local institution. His selection wouM mean a new life to the college. It woul,d! mean a greater Enrollment and we are certain that the endow-. ment campaign would be strengt'bened. \\Te do not make these state– ments as a reflection of the present presid ent, Dr. McKinney, or his work. It ic: known that Dr. ':VIcKinney contemplates resigning and with this impression prevalent we believe that Dr. :.I cChesney's in– auguration to the p1:esidency on the opening day of coJlege woul,d not only be an event of history for the institution, but for the community. Oft times we under es,timate a man's worth until s·ome other com– munity calls him and then there is no,thing but regret. Whether Dr. Mcchesney takes up tbe preFidency or not, nothing woulrd keep him here longer than an increased endowme,nt, giving the institution an opportunity to compete with other schools. Giving to the endowment fund is not speculation. You are investing your money at home for the 'benefit of home people.-Cedarville Herald, Aug-ust 7. • ALUMNI NOTES.
