S. 0. GORDON SPEAKS
AT CHAPEL EXERCISES

Noted Writer and Speaker
Delivers "Quiet Talk"
to Students

ADDRESS INSPIRING
S. D. Gordon, of New York,

well-know- n

author and speaker, delivered
one of d'Vcrrles of "quiet 'talks" in
chapel Tuesday morning, his subject
being, "Temptation."
"Temptation,"
the speaker said,
"runs along the natural groove of a
man's life." Temptation has always
existed and wlll continue to exist to
eternity. In itself, there is no harm,
but with man's aid It becomes an exaggerated evil.
Temptation affects different men in
different ways, Mr. Gordon said. Some
lie down and are trodden under foot
like a dog; some play with temptation and make a pretense of fighting
it, while others really fight It. Such a
man uses will power and if he must
go down, he Is still undefeated.
Mr. Gordon said that temptation
was weak in itself; that it can do
Its
nothing without partnership.
power depends upon how man takes it.
If a man yields in the beginning, lie
makes no show of fighting; if ho
plays with temptation, he Is whipped,
but if he fights he will win out with
the help of God. Man Is no match
for temptation by himself, but with
divine aid, ho can subdue it.
"Who is there to help?" is tho ques
tion often asked. The answer is
Jesus. Ho was a human being, a real
man, and ho had to fight against tho
same temptations that wo do. In tho
fight ho never slipped and In the end
In conclusion, the
was victorious.
speaker said that all men were agreed
in this: "Jesus clearly overtopped and
over-topthe whole race of man."

The contest has been decided, and
of the Univerthe most popular
sity are known. The ten girls who
received the greatest number of votes
In the election last Friday in chapel
will be seen in the feature pages of
the Kentuckian next May. There are
many more who are popular enough
to go Into anybody's book, but the
student body decided for itself that it
wanted this particular ten, and in they
s

will go.
Nearly five hundred ballots were
cast In the contest, and as each bal
lot had ten names, the counting was
a tedious process. Inspired by oratory
and mindful of the admonition to "let
conscience be your guide," the great
body politic of the University of Ken
tucky rose in its majesty and elected
whom It would.
The votes were counted by Frank
Street, C. R. Smith and William Shin- nick, and that every one may be sure
the count was conducted fairly, Frank
and Bill voluntarily went before Miss
Joyeux, who is a notary public, and
made affidavit concerning the matter.
The affidavit follows. It tells the
whole story:
"To Whom It May Concern:
"We, the undersigned, Frank Street.
editor of the 1917 Kentuckian, and
William Shlnnlck, feature editor of
the 1917 Kentuckian, hereby declare
that we have counted the ballots cast
in the Kentuckian's popularity contest
December 8, and that the following
having received the highest
ten
number of votes, are the winners of
Nancy Innes, Dorothy
