Sophomores
Have Meeting
Chapel Programs
Monday morning, November 4, Mr.
Dendy, our biology professor, was the
speaker at our chapel services. Mr.
Dendy is well known for his helpful
and inspiring talks, and Monday
was a very good example of these. He
spoke to us on the fault of letting little
sins and bad habits spoil our characters.
For example he used the illustration
of the potter whose vessel was spoiled
because of a small piece of black wood.
We hope to be able to hear more of
Mr. Dendy’s talks in the future.
At the assembly period Tuesday
morning the student body was again
treated to a very interesting talk
when Rpv. R. D. Beddinger was the
guest speaker. Rev. Mr. Beddinger
is head of the Asheville Presbytery
and at the present time is conducting
a series of evangelical services at the
Brevard Presbyterian Church. In his
talk Mr. Beddinger stressed the fact
that we must sacrifice many things
that wp would like to have in order to
live as we should, and that onr lives
have a great deal of influence over the
lives of others. He also told of many
incidents that have occurred during
his travels abroad.
The Reverend Mr. Simmons, pastor
of the local Presbyterian Church’ urg
ed 11 students to attend the services
which are being conducted every
night.
