Mr. Masih, Indian
Christian, Gives
Several Talks
Speaks To Social Science
Classes On Problems Of
The Indians
The student body of Atlantic
Christian College was very much
honored to have in its midst a
native Indian, Mr. Masih, a Chris*
tian missionary from India.
Mr. Masih gave an interesting
speech to the students in chape!.
His specch pertained to “God is
Love.” He was presented to the
entire student body by President
Hilley, who later suggested that
Mr, Masih be taken to some of
the classes in order that the
students might ask him further
questions about his work.
Reverend Masih said that In
dia is divided into castes, and that
one must not exceed the limits
of his own caate. Reverend Ma-
sih's belief is that thi* is wrong,
for God made everyone equal, and
this he expected U^m to remain.
The missionary also stressed
the remarkable progress which
has been attained in India in the
last 160 years. At one time,
women were considered lower
than men, or property of men by
the Mohammedans. Today women
attend schools and even hold high
positions in their fifovemmeat.
Due to th« teaching of Chris
tian religion, India and In«
dians have changed in thfir con
duct, which is based on the Chris
tian religion.

Round Out Officers
AGNES PEELE IS ELECTED AS NEW ADVISOR
One organization on our cam
pus made up of approximately
70 members is at last on the road I
to prosperity. This organization is
known as the “Busettes.'^
Heretofore commercial student*
have been looked down upon,
even shunned, by A. B. students.,
But this year the commercials
or “Busettes” as they now call
themselves are coming out of the
mud.
A constitutional committee
composed of Virginia Lancaster,
Frances Russell, Wilber Powell,
Kathryn Jones and James Creasy
drew up a constitiution which was
unanimously accepted by the
“new Babe” of the campus. Each
member of the organization was
presented with a mimeographed
copy of the constitution.
In an effort to stimulate in
terest of commercial students,
two cui>» are to be given on
commencement day by the Bus-
ettes,” one to the boy and one to
the girl who has shown advance
ment, leadership scholastic at
tainment and character. It i»
hoped that this will only be a
beginning for future commercial
organizations to follow as a
means of stimulating and advanc
ing recognition of commercial
students.
Plans are being made to make
a poll of commercial studenU
who have finished in the past 3
years and see what good their
course did them as to helping pre
pare them for a libelihood.
This should be very interesting
to the faculty, administration,
students as well iJs the “Bus
ettes.”
Several interesting programs
have been given. In the early
part of October the “Bu»ett«»”
invaded the tobacco warehouses
of Wilson seeking to see the gold
en weed auctioned. Dr. Morgan
adlres<ied the “Busettes" the Ut
ter part of October at which
time he spoke briefly on “Busi
ness Principles.”
Officers for this year’s organ
ization are: Wilber Powell, presi
dent; Virginia Lancaster. Vice-
president; Ethel Shepard. Secre-
tarj-; Kirby Watson, TreMurer;
Jim Allen Cowan, Sergeant of
Arms; Kathr)-n Jones, Reporter;
Miss Agne* Peel, "Faculty Advis
or; and James Creasy, Student Ad-
visor.
Of course, this new organiza
tion has a lot to learn yet and
hopes to be able to live without
being stomped into a premature
death. This is the youngest or
ganization on the campus and it
is very difficult to start out in
high gear at first; »o if the old-
er clubs will lend to getting the
new Babe walking, future stu
dent* will look back and praise
the broadness of the present Sa-
sang conference

Dr. Hilley introduced the speak
er of the day. Dr. Stephen J.
Corey, president of the College
of Bible, t/«xington, Kentucky. Dr,
Corey said that when you some
to a cross road and find the
