several years ago upon the out break of the war he was put in charge of athletics at camp meade and was then sent to italy there he was virtually in charge of the athletic activities of the italian army and it may be said that the rallying of the morale of the ital ian army after the institution of american athletics was due largely to his efforts captain raymond walters who since last september

meet ing and it is hoped more of them will be out next time the princi pal speakers of the evening were sunny edwards 13 who is superintendent of the blast fur naces and j s cort el met 06 superintendent of the open hearth both of the bethlehem steel the address of mr edwards on the blast furnaces follows in part : the means for properly charg ing the blast furnaces is a matter of vital importance and deserves the utmost consideration for a furnace improperly charged can never make good steel the mod ern furnaces are charged by means of a small car running up an in cline to the top this car is called the skip a man is provided at the top of the furnace to watch the tension of the cable on the skip and see that it is always tight in order that the charge may be put in the blast furnace evenly a double bell is provided one small bell and a larger one below the charge is put on the bell by means of a distributor which turns about 87 every time a load from the skip is deposited this makes the material fall evenly around all sides of the furnace when the bell is full it is lowered causing the charge to drop down into the furnace another type is often used called the brown top but it does not distribute the charge so evenly and it often accumulates in heaps the mckee top is the best and most scientific on the market today it has a long nar row throat and a revolving hopper which turns through 60 degrees each time the skip comes up if the furnace is not charged properly then the unreduced ma terial will come down through the furnace and chill the slag and there is danger of sulphur from the slag being added to the iron a furnace which is driven rap idly can be tapped every four hours the slag from the furnaces is often used instead of rock in concrete and also as a ballast for railroad ties mr cort then spoke on modern open hearth practice his ad dress follows in part the secret of good iron is in good raw materials no matter how efficient the furnaces may be the product will be of poor quality if the materials composing the charge are not up to standard before the war the cost of an open hearth furnace was about 75,000 including all the necessary

mechanical engineering has been awarded this year to d c pfeiffer 21 at the regular y m c a meet ing held in drown hall last sun day evening dr m willard lampe of the university of penn sylvania spoke dr lampe is a graduate of knox university and has been engaged in y m 0 a work for a number of years he took as his topic spiritual unity using the seventeenth chapter of john as the basis of his speech his speech was in part as fol lows if prayer is essentially a dominant expression of a man's true wishes there can be little doubt as to his sincerity when he does pray it is in this way that jesus prayed for he was always anxious that his disciples should feel the unity he had with god all great men have felt the absolute need for unity in nature there is no evidence of separate per sonalities for all parts work as one the primitive man always felt an intrusion into his life when some thing unusual occurred in the world about him he would immediately turn his thoughts in worship to wards it and in a way defy this intrusion today it is different for the modern civilized man would try to explain the unusual by show ing how it fits in with ascertained laws of nature jesus too believed in this great idea of unity the lord our god is one god was the message which jesus preached to the world — a message which startled the world about him for it was a new vision on the unity of god what jesus prayed for was for a keener insight and vision of god's unity his prayer as given in the seventeenth chapter of john tries to interpret the unity of the trinity it may be divided into three parts in the first part the relation between god and himself is brought out for jesus always re garded himself as the true mes senger of god the second explains the unity he always strived for be tween his disciples and himself finally the third part tells of the unity which he desired 1 to have grow up among the disciples these three unities all acknowledged one god and the relations of these same three unities are important things in our present day life it was not long after jesus death that men tried to define the unity of god and jesus in various ways the 1 result has been after nineteen hundred years a large number of denominations all be lieving they have the correct view of the principles of christianity this is an erroneous view and now that the peoples of the world are beginning to see in world-wide terms and relations the vision of christian un ity should change the unity of belief in the principles ex periences and tasks of christianity should be the result continued on third page ' ' christians ought to get together and forget their sectarian views and particularly the prejudices that have grown up they should feel the challenge as to the tasks of unity common creeds have been found to be wanting when tried in the scales of unity so that is no tsai to speak on some problems of china h tsai 19 president of the chinese club of lehigh will speak at a
