should permit conceit to enter his heart a man in this frame of mind is not in a receptive attitude to learn to know god a former princeton professor a successful attorney who traveled all over the world once stid in the privacy of his office dreshman i have come to the point where i don't know whether there is a god or not it seemed incredible that a man of his education and experi ence could doubt the existence of god the trouble wasi that his knowledge had made him egotisti cal and since he had tried to live without god deeming himself self sufficient he had finally lost all contact with him in psychology we learn that personality is made up largely of emotion and will emotion is the spark of god in us the great thing in our lives god made it possible to sin so that we could exercise our wills in controlling our animal bodies by thinking god's thoughts the mind and spirit are developed if we don't think high and noble thoughts that power of the mind and spirit becomes subject to those lawer experiences of our animal natures god made us to be masters of our lives but in many cases our lives have mastered us while we can rise to heights far above the animal world by the development of our souls he who lets his animal nature gain the ascendancy sinks to depths which no animal ever reaches there are many great men whose souls were overpowered by their animal bodies but they are great in history only the really great men who have moved the world upward are those who hadi the courage of god in their lives continued on fifth page ' ' when a man realizes that he must

coast mr cumings talk was illustrated by many excellent slides in his address mr vela saidi that ecuador is rich in natural re sources which are undeveloped in the western and eastern part of the country on account of poor trans portation facilities there are few railroads in ecuador and the chief means of transportation are horse baek and mule-back the high ways 1 were built by the english and are few in number the longest being about 180 miles these high ways have a fairly good surface on account of the clay which adheres to the stone used in their construc tion other roads are mere country roads and farther in the interior they become mule trails guayaquil is the chief seaport town and the english firm of j g white & co is doing the sanitation work there the water supply is taken from clear water springs and is pumped to reservoirs and settling basins and then to the town there is a separate system for fire service a modern sewage system is be ing installed by the j g white co disposal is made directly into the river or first to settling basins and then to the river guayaquil is very healthy in dry seasons but is unhealthy in the rainy season the poorer classes are affected by the plagues and fevers more than the better classes the dreaded tm bonic plague may be avoided by good sanitation and by destroying the rats that carry the plague kioto the capital has a good water supply and is well sewered it has a very healthful climate the longest railroad in ecuador runs from the capital to guayaquil and was built by the english and american engineers and is still be ing operated by them this rail road passes through the andes at a height of about 11,500 feet and sometimes the grade is as much as 7 per cent no trains are run through the passes of the
