it embodies a vigor ous fight with evil sin and satan it is much easier for us to preach than for us to live up to the princi ples which we are preaching and yet we want least of all in this world to have the word tiypocrit written on our foreheads the religion of jesus christ heals this is indeed a more hope ful note god is not mocked ; whatsoever a man soeth that shall he also reap beware of the social glass because of the results which it may bring about while you may continued on fourth page the regular meeting of the forum took place in saucon hall on thursday evening routine business was transacted the most important of which was the resolu tion passed to challenge rutgers college to a debate president lee read a selected story from balzac a passion in the desert and a literary discussion followed the forum will not meet again until after the . christmas recess vol xiii lehigh university south bethlehem pa tuesday december 12 1905 y m c a 1906 calendar no 23 the brown and white artistic and well arranged the lehigh university calendar for 1906 has been on exhibition at the l u supply bureau for over a week the calendar this year pre cents several radical changes which have improved its general appearance greatly the design of the cover is especially striking and the size has been reduced so that the calendar may be more easily shipped and is also the standard size for college calendars the cover is a neat design with the university seal in the center embossed in brown and gold the cover itself is white and presents a beautiful contrast in colors the interior presents cuts of all the athletic teams and their respec tive captains views of the campus and university buildings both in summer and winter scenes on the athletic field and lehigh river the teams are arranged so as to appear on the calendar in the month in which their particular sport holds predominance the scenes are also characteristic of the month in which they are printed the price has also been placed at a reasonable rate considering the quality and improvements in the calendar special arrangements have been made whereby calendars will be sent to any address the entire stock is now on hand addresses by robert g speer and john willis baer with other men he must be square out in the open and con ceal nothing he must not have any crookedness about him the hanover blank employs over six hundred men and it also employs a staff of detectives to watch each man and ascertain his personal habits and in the fourth place a man can not posses strength of charac ter unless he keep himself clean the face is the indicator of charac ter you can not conceal what you wish to hide nature punishes the transgressor of her laws and brands him on the face and when temptation comes to a man who has kept his record unsullied his character will decide for him and take him out of danger a good conscience also is worth much it is possible for every man at college to keep his record clean i believe that half my own class could have said with the rich young ruler all these things have i kept from my youth up i knew per sonally many fellows as manly and papular as any who led pure and spotless lives do you mean to tell me that my little boy at home pure and innocent as he now is must in time become a low and filthy wreck of a man no i do not and will not believe it some may be here to-day who say if only we had heard this several years ago but now it is too late we are no longer clean i say to these there is a power that changed the flesh of the leper into that of a child and it is just as powerful to-day it takes men and frees them from their past do not let us betray ourselves !" athletic committee
