CHURCH SERVICES
FEATURED BY
SPECIAL MUSIC
Dr. D. P. Barrett Speaks for
Evening Service.
The usual services were held in
the College auditorium last Sun
day morning and evening. The
musical program at the morning
service was especially enjoyable.
A male quartet consisting of
Messrs. Messick, Hutchinson,
Garvey and Rhodes, rendered a
selection at the opening of the
service. Mr. Alexander sang the
solo part of the anthem, “How
Long Wilt Thou Forget Me,” by
Carl Flueger, and Mrs. Katherine
L. Sturm played a beautiful violin
solo, “Salut d’Amour,” by Elgar.
In the morning sermon Dr. N. G.
Newman, the pastor, stressed the
Cross as the central fact in hu
man experience of all who follow
in the Master’s trail. Christ’s
enemies uttered a great truth
when they said, “He saved others,
Himself He cannot save,” and just
as true is it that “He that gain-
eth his life shall lose it, and he
that loseth his life for my sake
and the Gospel’s shall save it.”
“Wherever men and women are
following the Master all the
way,” declared the speaker, “they
are being crucified on unseen
crosses. The greatest thing about
human life and that which has
elevated man to fellowship with
God and Jesus Christ and with
his fellowmen is the spirit of the
cross. It is the spirit that makes
a man or woman willing to lose
himself. The way of the cross
leads to the finding of self.” Dr.
Newman further discussed the
life which devotion to the cross
leads to and asserted that the
man the world honors is the man
who lives for others, who will
suffer himself rather than to
cause others to sufi^er, the man
who will lose in a material propo
sition rather than to sacrifice the
right, the man who will not save
himself in ease and comfort when
his fellowman is in need. Two
of the greatest privileges of life
are happiness and service, and the
highest form of happiness and
service is only to be found by go
ing the way of the cross, by liv
ing by the principles of the cross
of Jesus Christ.
At the evening service, in the
chapel, the speaker was Rev. D.
P. Barrett, of Ponce, Porto Rico,
who is residing with his family at
Elon College during his furlough.
He presented in a very graphic
manner the conditions and oppor
tunities in Porto Rico, an island
with a population of one million
and a half people, with only about
15,000 church members. The
natural beauty of the country was
pictured, and the change since the
Bible has entered the island in
conditions among the natives,
showing progress in spite of the
great need still apparent. Today,
instead of no schools, no doctors,
no hospitals, no nurses—hospitals
have been erected and much dis
ease has been eradicated, and
schools have been established in
most parts of the island. “Do mis
sions pay?” is a question fre
quently asked Dr. Barrett,
