A Few Words From Jlr. Gill.
From the Church Home Hospital,
Broadway, Baltimore, Dr. Gill sends
the following in his own hand:
Sunday, Jan. 14, 1912
To the many Dear Friends, famil
iarly kriov n or entire strangers, who
within the last few days have writ
ten me or may write me:
I can not address each of you in
r sponse so you, will please allow
me to answer you through the Penn
State Collegian.
To receive so many kind wishes
makes me feel almost as important
as Theodore Roosevelt. And yet
I have not the least ambition that
way. I have no hankering for the
presidency and I could not bring
down a wild goose to sat e me. Al
low me to wish you each and all a
very happy New Year. I guess it
is Stevenson who says:
“The world is so full of a num
ber of things,
That we all of us ought to be
happy as kings”
Pick up the things that please
you, or if you have anything
whatever be happy with that.
I often thank God these days
for the fellowships and enjoyments
of State Collrge. Probably the
college never brought more solid
blessings to any one than it has to
me. My moral relations to it have
been such that my own life has
been greatly enriched. lam pluck
ing rich inward fruits in these days
of pain and suspense. Whether the
doctors can float my old craft
again, I cannot tell. I do not
trouble myself. Being in God’s
hands all is well.
Again with greetings,
Faithfully,
Benjamin Gill.
Illustrated Lecture Course.
On next Saturday evening at
eight o’clock, there will be an illus
trated lecture on "Ecuador, Peru
and Bolivia,” given in the Audi
torium by Mr. Wilfred H. Schoff.
Mr. Scboff is a lecturer of some
note, and his position as secretary
of the Commercial Museum of
Philadelphia, puts him in a position
from which he can impart many in
teresting and fascinating facts and
descriptions, especially of the South
American countries.
The object of the “Museum” is
to educate the people of the United
States as to commercial possibili
ties of trade with South 'America,
and other countries.
The present revolution in Ecuador
will enhance the interest manifested
in this subject.
