The football team has made no
great record. Yet we are not dis
couraged. Inexperience played a
great part in our team this fall. We
had not even one experienced player
on the team, but we have a founda
tion and we must see that the frame
work is built of seasoned timber.
Players are not coming to Guilford
if we sit idly by and merely wait for
them. We must go search the high
schools and show the young fellow
who wants to play football during his
college career what we have and what
we are going to do. There is not a
moment's time to delay. Why isn't
Guilford able to offer scholarships to
worthy students, students who can
not only preach but students who can
represent the college in bloody bat
tles on the gridiron? We must com
pete with the other colleges if we
wish to be recognized as a college.
Thus, when every other college is
giving some special inducement to
the well-rounded high school gradu
ate how are we going to hold our
own if we wait until the dish has
been passed to other colleges to be at
last set before our plate with even
the bones made into hash in the paas-
ing. It is time to open our eyes and
shake off this sleep. We need more
men with red blood flowing in their
veins and who can kick the life out
of a pigskin and ram like a battering
ram instead of these puny beings who
can hardly kick the ashes off a cigar
ette duck! (Silver handles, velvet

BIBLICAL SEMINAR DISCUSSES
CHURCH PROBLEMS.
The Biblical Seminar held its regu
lar bi-weekly meeting Monday even
ing, October 16th. Prof. Brinton
opened the discussion on church
problems.
"Formerly," he said, "the church
was controlled by the state but now
it had to shift for itself. In modern
times it has been subjected to a great
deal of criticism for its apparent lack
of drawing power and it is our busi
ness to see whether this criticism is
justified and to suggest remedies."
Changes in method, the introduction
of novelties, different kinds of ser
mons, different styles of architecture,
the influence of unbelief, the use of
popular language, denominational ri
valry, the substitution of newspapers
and magazines for sermons, Sunday
recreations, etc., were the subjects
he discussed and their relation to the
main problem brought out. In con
clusion Prof. Brinton said, "The
average man is interested in the
problems of the human soul. How
are we going to reach him." In the
discussion following some interest
ing points were brought out. The
Seminar is glad to welcome as mem
bers D. S. Cameron, D. E. Smith, J.
G. Reddick, C. M. Macon and I. T.
Valentine.
ORGANIZATION OF STUDENT MIN
ISTERIAL ASSOCIATION.
On the evening of September 19th,
in company with President Newlin as
leader, eleven young men formed
themselves into an organization
known as the Student Ministerial
Association of Guilford College. The
following officers were elected and in
stalled: Leslie H. Barrett, president;
Charles B. Shelton, secretary and
treasurer. These meetings are to be
held bi-weekly. On the evening of
October 3rd President Newlin gave
us a helpful talk on the call to the
ministry and what it means. On the
evening of the 17th of October Luby
Casey led in a discussion on "Why
Am I Preparing for the Ministry."
It is the hope of the charter members
of this organization that it will con
tinue through years to come, helping
and strengthening all those who are
preparing for the ministry.
LIBRARY SECURES BIBLE
ENCYCLOPAEDIA.
The college has recently received
as a gift from our friends, Professor
John W. Woody and Mary C. Woody,
the International Standard Bible En
cyclopaedia in five well bound vol
umes. These books contain the best
and most recent investigations of the
ripest scholarship in Europe and
America. About two hundred authors
contribute to this work. This set of
books will be found to be very useful
to all students, and especially to
those taking the Bible courses. The
gift is much appreciated. These vol
umes are issued by the Howard-Sev
erance Company of Chicago.
THE GUILFORDIAN
Y. W. C. A. NOTES.
This week Miss Bessie Field con
ducted prayer meeting. She spoke
on the subject of consecration. "We
may be Christians, M began the lead
er, "and still not have a deep sense
of consecration. We want our bodies
to be living sacrifices to God. There
are two ways of following Christ;
first we may follow him at a distance,
but then the second and best way is
to follow Him as a personal Savior—
to be His love slave."
"We want to let God plan our
lives," she continued, "for we want
to know His perfect love. When we
give ourselves to Him we want to for
get the past. If we trust Him, He
will carry our burdens."
Miss Field concluded the service by
reading the beautiful little poem,
"The Path of Obedience."
The girls are beginning work on
the annual Y. W. C. A. play. Several
who took part in last year's play will
play important roles this year in
"The Virginia Heroine." Quite a
number of new girls have been for
tunate enough to be selected also.
With these, it is very likely that this
year's play will eclipse all its prede
cessors.
The Y. W. C. A. store is still a pay
ing investment. The girls patronize
it morning, noon and night.
Probably the most talked of fea
ture of Y. W. C. A. work now is the
announcement of the approaching ba
zaar. The bazaar is to be planned
and given by the girls some time in
December. It is to be patronized by
both boys and girls and half of the
proceeds is to go to the Y. M. C. A.
building fund. A fuller description
of this will appear later.
Last week the Associations News
committee began a campaign for sub
scribers to the Association monthly.
Several girls subscribed.
Quito a number of the Guilford
students attended "The Birth of a
Nation" w"hich was given at Greens
boro Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
Among the students going to see
Griffith's "Birth of a Nation" were:
Messrs. Hinshaw, Newlin, Cameron,
