seton hall aggregation in taylor gym wednesday evening / the final score was 37-22 the game was undoubtedly the best played here this year and with wysocki and hess leading them the brown and white quintet showed a complete reversal of form which was very gratifying to the spectators if the varsity con tinues to play in this form against pittsburgh on saturday it will not be easily defeated wysocki was the main reason for lehigh s victory he was every where and time after time he blocked seton hail shots for the goal he was continually breaking up their passing game and was the main cog in the brown and white offensive giving a brilliant exhi bition of passing he also scored ! three baskets hess also played an exceptional game and he was at his best on the offense having a total of seven field goals to his credit donovan played an excellent game and was re sponsible for twelve of lehigh s points for the visitors the work of cummings was the feature his game being surpased only by that of wysocki his goal shooting was very accurate and he succeeded in caging the ball six times from the floor he tallied the same number of fouls the game was fast and well played but after the first few minutes the result was never in doubt the brown and white lead ing at the end of the first half by a score of 18-10 starting the last half they continued to be the ag gressors and soon piled

toward suit • able war economy the committee will be appointed soon and date announced as soon as fixed christ's indignation topic dis cussed last wenesday evening the topic in the various discus sion groups last wednesday night was christ's indignation in the future still other phases of his life and work will be discussed most of the pictures of christ show him with a wan sad face and the many sermons of his meekness and humility leave the wide spread impression that peaeefulness was his dominant quality this was true to a certain extent but he was not willing to sacrifice right for peace at one time he said i i hate and abhor falsehood christ was an example of entire unselfishness he thought only of the betterment of the world and the help of mankind he was never known to speak a word of anger when they brutally mistreated him but his indignation was aroused when others were abused christ came to establish the prin ciples of the worship of god and to try to make the people more sincere in their worship violations of these principles made christ very indignant the trading in the temple stirred his wrath and he drove the people out a great public evil always excit ed his wrath christ would indeed be angry at the graft and corrup tion of many of our present day city governments if all men would only perform their work as honest ly as christ did the world would not be embroiled in the present war it is an example and a direct result of selfishness and dishonesty because he loved men and want ed them to love him christ con demned evil and tried to impress the world with a feeling of resent ment towards it he was working for the world trying to make people see their faults and correct them thereby making this earth a better place to live in although christ did become angry at men he only did so for their own good and he tried to see all the good in them before con demning their evil he taught that one should not be bitter or acrid in criticism and nether should one be bitter because he is criticised no man is safe until he learns not to dally with temptation but to repel it immediately and instinc tively with fierce indignation when christ wasi tempted he fol lowed this and said ' ' get thee be hind me satan ' ' liberality is merely weak and unintelligent toleration the many different indian religions preached love and good will in the form of toleration but a member of one of these sects would never lift a finger to help a person or feel a stir of in dignation at the evils of his land anger is one of the sinews of the soul he who lacks it hath a maimed mind christ desired to applaud the good in men but he wanted them to see their own evils and cor rect them he has indeed been the great encourager of man prof benjamin l miller of the department of geology will be the speaker at the y m c a meeting next sunday evening prof miller is well known to the student body as a man of experience and travel and the topic he has chosen the faith of men promises to be of help and interest he will also dwell on the various phases of faith as related to science miss martha cassell a well known soloist of bethlehem will favor the meeting

the promotion of the welfare of lehigh students especi ally those pursuing the course in mechanical engineering and the success of many lehigh men is due directly to the inspiration gained under the

interest in their welfare nothing pleased him so greatly as to be able to extend help when needed and his interest was keenly maintained after a stu dent's graduation in the death of professor klein
