2 THE GUILFORDIAN Guilford College, N. C. Published Weekly BOARD. Katliryn Dorsett - - Editor-in-Chief. Carl Stewart - - Business Manager. Maude Culler Robt. Mitchell Burtie Dix Fred Morris Blanche Dixon Thomas G. Perry Gladys Highfill A. L. Riddick Alma Lassiter C. R. Hinshaw SUBSCRIPTION PRICE SI.OO Address all communications to THE GUILFORDI AN Guilford College, N. C. LITTLE THINGS. "For the want of a nail lli* shoe was lost, For the want of a shoe the horse was lost, For the want of a horse the rider was lost, For the want of a rider the battle was lost, For the want of a battle the king dom was lost, All for the want of a nail." It is a psychological impossibil ity for one to accomplish anything without putting forth an effort. There is no getting around the fact that in order to obtain any thing one must have a view to an end. The time required, of course, varies with the individual; but the person who sits around with hands folded waiting for some thing important to turn up is not worthy of emulation. Yet there are persons in our college who are drifting along in this haphazard way. The time comes when they really want to do something that is just out of their reach —they put forth the effort—but fail, due to the fact that they had not done the "little things." Life is made up of little things. If we glance over the history of the lives of men who have attained pre-eminence we wonder how they attended to all of the smaller things of their lives when they were carving out their careers. The college boy and and girl of today begin with ambition to do great things and are not willing to climb the ladder gradually. As a result of this they overlook the small things. We cannot afford to go through life skipping and jumping in or der to go the nearest way. We must brave and master the pre liminary details. Our greatest artists were the ones who paid closest attention to the minutial of their art. We cannot all do something great, we cannot all make a his tory, but we all can contribute our share by living a life that does not overlook the "little things." On account of the mid-year ex aminations there will be no issue of I lie GCilfokdian next week. We take pleasure in announc ing (lie election of Mr. Clifford K. Ilinshaw as a business manager of the Guilfokdian to fill the place of Mr. Troy Short, wlio lias withdrawn from college. Y. W. C. A. NOTES. Miss Amy Smith, Executive Secretary of Ihe South Atlantic Field Y. W. C. A. came to us on .Monday afternoon from Greens boro and returned Tuesday morn ing. While here she met the cabi net for awhile and gave a report from the recent convention held at Lake Forest, 111., regarding the new membership basis of the Asso ciation. She also did some very helpful work with chairmen of committees, and made an interest ing short talk at chapel Tuesday morning. \Ve feel fortunate to have Miss Smith come to Guilford. At our last meeting Mary J loan talked on "The Permanent Value of Jesus' Teachings." She said there had been great truths ex pressed peculiar to one age but failed in succeeding ones. Jesus expressed a living truth so forci bly that it will last for all ages. We live in a world very different from that assumed in his teach ing. There have come a host of problems about which he gave the world no help. We are told too that it is absurd to think of a peasant of ancient Judea being the ideal person, and the teacher of final truth to the 20th century. This demands our careful atten tion. Truth and characters are realities not to be measured in time and space. The size of a country has nothing to do with the teaching of a man who hap pens to be born in it. We do not discredit the art of the Greeks, nor the laws of Moses and Solon because they came from small peo ples. The function of the truth of a man's teaching must be one fact. Jesus did not give answers to many modern problems but he did speak of the things that make up and aid the supreme needs of hu man life. If the scholar of the 20th century may not go to him for the solution of problems in na ture and history, he does need lo sit at Jesus' feet and learn the lesson of unselfish devotion to truth and that of humility ami love. He wrote 110 work 011 the con struction of ships nor on wireless telegraphy but he does teach that the ship, when built, must go 011 errands of mercy, not of destruc tion; that the message of wireless and not of hate and war.
