Build A World Within ARCHIVES THI ecett w. ROBBINS LIBRARY VQUIMURG COLUOe HC-27^ Serve A World Without Volume V LOUISBURG COLLEGE, LOUISBURG, N. C., WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 30, 1946 Number 4 Cflnferonec Rfporied Highlights of the Third Quad rennial National Methodist Student Conference, held at the University of Illinois, Urbana, Dec. 28 to Jan. 1, were presented at the chapel hour, Jan. 9. The speakers were four of the five Louisburg repre sentatives : Miss Merritt, Abner Askew, Barbara Howard, and Jack Rasor. Askew gave ideas gained from the conference, citing the view that “the only way we can be gin to trj’^ to solve this crisis is through God.” He asserted that what the crisis needs most is Chris tianity. Quoting from the presid ing officer’s address, he continued, “We must learn with God and lead the Christian ways of life before we can hope to find peace, security, and happiness again.” Askew also mentioned the crisis of color, or race, as the most dangerous of all, in the United States today, espe cially in relation to Negroes and Jews who desire to be treated as human beings. Jack Rasor gave a report on the address made by Dr. Roy Burk hart, minister of Colombus, Ohio. From the address Rasor quoted the answer to the question “What is the church?” “The church is peo ple with Christ in their souls and in their relationships. It is the body of people seeking the ways and the truth and manifesting the love of God in their lives.” Kasor brought out also the point that the mission of the church is to help a person find the way, the truth, and the love of God and make those real in a local community. He mentioned also the disrupted phase of family life. “Hollywood, instead of the church is determining the pattern of marriages,” he quoted from Dr. Burkhart, who, Rasor said, took the position that a young couple’s relationship to Christ mattered more than anything else in the world in determining married hap piness. At the close of his report Rasor left the question Dr. Burk hart had left with his audience at the Urbana Conference: “How ef fective are you and the retail end of your campus religion?” Barbara Howard reported on the address by Dr. T. Z. Koo, a Chinese who was held in a Japanese prison camp for three years. Her report was based mainly upon this quota tion from Dr. Koo’s address: “Christian students of America have before them a vast field of op portunities in the mission work of reconciliation and rebuilding in Ja pan and other countries ravaged by war. Governments cannot heal the wounds of spirit and heart; only Christian love can do this.” “Faith in God is the hope of the world,” the Chinese had declared. “Only through him, will we find peace, security and happiness once more.” Russell Leads Religious Emphasis Week Artist Reveals Interesting Background Beverly Dame, noted young so prano, in with her concert in the Louisburg College auditorium Dec. H, charmed an almost capacity audience of students, faculty, and townspeople. Though only twenty years of age she showed unusual ability in diction, pronunciation, and interpretation, a fact that en hanced her popularity especially among the students of French, who actually recognized oui or vous or amour. Miss Dame revealed a musical background as impressive as her language achievement. Her Cleve land, Ohio, family connections in clude Father Dame, a singer; Sis ter Dame, a ballet dancer; and Brother Dame (Donald, by name), a producer of radio programs of his own and at present, an artist af filiated with the Metropolitan Opera Company. Also, since nine years of age. Miss Dame has been studying music in various schools, including the Cleveland Institute of Music. She is now studying opera and dra matics in New York City. Her favorite phase of her career is recital work before an apprecia tive, informal audience. She ex pects to begin a tour through Can ada after Christmas. Though she looks forward to her scheduled con certs, she does not, she confessed, anticipate with especial eagerness the travel involved. Somewhat disappointed at the necessity of a coat in the South, the artist admired, however, the friendliness of the Southerners she had met during this, her first trip among them. On the other hand, she expressed her fear of return ing to New York speaking our col lege lings with a Southern drawl. STUDENTS ACHIEVE HONOR ROLL.

Southerners Discover the North (WITH APOLOGIES TO JO AN AT HAN With Southerners discovering the North on a recent holiday trip to the National Methodist Student Conference at the University of Illinois certain findings linger— possibly worth sharing with others as facts and advice: Since, for travelers going west from Cincinnati, time changes from Eastern to Central Standard, don’t expect the trip from Cin cinnati to Indianapolis to be just one hour instead of the two hours that the time table shows. As you pass through the state of Indiana, you may see a sight you’ve often seen in the movies, or one you’ve at last heard about from DANIELS) someone: the beautiful Warbash River (we saw it frozen over and covered with a blanket of fieecy white snow—a really magnificent sight, you may know, to us South ern students.).
