THE GUILFORDIAN
VOLUME VI
A PROPHET OF THE
NINETEENTH CENTURY
Professor Anscombe Gives Inspiring
Lecture.
On Saturday evening, Nov. 8, Prof
Anscombe gave a helpful and in-
spiring lecture on George Mueller, a
prophet of the 19th century.
George Mueller was born in the
year ISO 3 in a little town in Ger
many. His father was an excise col
lector and the early training of
George was so bad that he was soon
known as an expert thief. As a
youth he indulged in drinking, card
playing and gambling. He went to
the university, and altho he was a
brilliant student, his moral charac
ter was not above reproach. Until
lie was twenty he never owned a
Uible or listened to a religious ser
vice. It was thru the influence of
one of his friends that he first went
to prayer meeting. There he re
ceived his first religious impression,
but it was some time still before his
conversion. But under the influ
ence of the same friend he went to
prayer meeting again and there met
a man by (lie name of Wagner, who
influenced him much. In time he be
came tired of the life of sin and
burned a questionable novel that he
was translating at the time. This
was his first sacrifice. He soon be
came interested in missions and
especially in those for the Polish
Jews. Another sacrifice was made
when his father discontinued his al
lowance because George had be
come a Christian. He went to Lon
don and asked to be attached to one
of the missionary organizations
there. He was refused admittance
and it was then he learned he could
not depend upon man. About this
time he heard of a dentist who had
sacrificed all and gone to India and
he decided he would like to "o
the same sacrifice. He went to the
west of England and became pastor
of a little church which had only
seven members. Altho it was one of
the laws of the church that it
should receive support only from
believers, It grew and its needs
were supplied.
Many times he was severely test
ed, but he clung to the teachings of
Jesus. In 18:?4 the Scriptural Knowl
edge Institute was established. In
the supporting of his schools he
considered if wrong to appeal to the
non converted or unbelievers. The
object of the institute was three
fold: to establish and aid day
schools, to circulate the Holy Scrip
tures and to aid missionaries. The
work soon began to grow.
One day a little orphan boy who
had been attending his Sunday
school said that he could not go any
more because he had to go to the 1
poorhouse. This set Mueller jto j
thinking and he decided to establish i
a home for orphans. He made this i
a matter of prayer. He prayed for J
house, money and assistance, and
they came. The only advertisement,
he used was for orphans, and when
the orphans come he immediately

GUILFORD COLLEGE. N. C„ NOVEMBER 12, 1919
QUAKER ELEVEN AGAIN
TRIMMED BY VIRGINIANS
In a hard l'ought contest at Roan-
oke, Virginia, Saturday the Guilford
eleven went down to defeat before
I lie attacks of the Roanoke College
team, by the score of IS to 7. The
Quakers' line played good ball all
the way 'through, but the back field
was ineffective both on the defen-
I sive and the offensive, giving scat
| tered interference and showing poor
team work throughout the game.
Guilford's only tuochdown came in
the first quarter as a result of a
pass from Barnard to Pulliam, who
ran thirty yards to the goal line.
Most of Roanoke's gains were made
by end runs and forward passes,
which the Quaker ends and backs
were slow in breaking up. Tremain
at quarter worked the team in a
creditable manner. Cox and Ander
son were the most effective men of
the Guilford eleven. Smith at right
end for Guilford proved a dangerous
man to his opponents until he was
put out on account of a slight in-j
jury. The work of Capt. Chapman j
and Peters for the Virginia team
showed up to the best advantage, I
although the former failed 'three
times in succession to kick goal, j
Several hundred fans, including
members of the student body of Ro-j
anolce and Elizabeth College, wit
nessed the game.
Both aggregations counted in the
opening quarter, Roanoke being the
first to score. A moment after Guil
ford, in an effort to kick the ball
out of danger, bunted to Graham,
Peters made his first spectacular end
run, scoring a touchdown after a 2 5-
yard gallop. Chapman missed goal.
Chapman kicked off following the
score and Barnard received the oval.
The latter was thrown for a loss on
the next maneuver and then shot
pass to Pullman. Roanoke was pen
alized for holding and on the fol
lowing play Barnard flipped a long
pass to PuHiam, who romped thirty
yards to the goal. Barnard then
kicked the only goal of the after
noon and ended the scoring for lh3
Guilforders.
The second touchdown followed in
le secor.l quarter, and the final
score came in the last period of play.
Boili were the results of sr-rirj
passes by the Roanokers, and Chap
man carried the ball on both occa-
The visitors seriously menaced
the local goal line in the last quar
t• r getting the ball at o e time as
'"tr as the four-yarri line, where a
fumble resulted disastrously for
them. Chapman also intercepted in
a forward pass on the four-yard line,
preventing what looked like a cer
tain score.
'ihe game was mar red by the in
fliction of many penalties, most of
which were suffered by the "Sore
Backs" for holding.

MODEL LUNCH ROOM
IS ILLUSTRATED
Attractive Menu Served by the Home
Economics Department.
An innovation at Guilford last
week was the lunch room, instituted
by the Senior class in Dietics. In
connection with class room work in
which were discussed school lunches
and lunch rooms of the various va
rieties now to be found in cities and
larger towns, the Seniors gave a
practical demonstration of their
ability to plan and serve a well bal
anced meal for a stated small sum.
A typical menu consisted of
Cottage Pie
Hot Biscuits and Butter
Cocoa
Waldorf Salad Saltines
Patrons of the lunch room were
mainly day students, but tickets
were sold also to boarding pupils
and members of the faculty.
The Department of Home Eco
nomics hopes the day is not far dis
tant when its equipment may be
sufficient to enable it to continue, as
a permanent institution, a lunch
room which may serve the needs of
over fifty or more day students.
The Seniors majoring in Home
Economics this year are Mary Co
ble, Madge Coble, Anna Henley and
Frances McCracken.
PROFESSOR MADDOX
LEADS Y. M. C. A.
Subject, "How to Obtain the Ulti
mate of Your Ambition."
The speaker said that in obtaining
our goal we must do three things.
There are three fundamentals upon
which we must lay our foundation.
The first thing to do is to have a
definite purpose. We must have a
goal in life and let nothing turn us
away from that goal. We should
not fret ourselves because of evil
doers, for their wickedness will soon
find them out. Some men get rich
very quickly but soon lose it. Ger
many has come up in a short time,
but has been torn down. Let us
remember that some day our wick
edness will come out.
Second, we must trust in God. It
is necessary that we have a belief
that God created everything; the
earth, the things on it and all the
other planets and how all these
things are organized. We have a
great backing if we put our trust in
God, for He is the great ruler of the
universe. "Trust in the Lord, and
do good; so shalt thou dwell in the
land, and verily thou shalt be fed."
Lastly, we must obey the law. We
cannot go against the law. If we
disobey the laws of nature we must
suffer for it. So it is in the moral
world. We cannot disobey one of
God's laws and get away with it.
"The way of the transgressor is
hard."
Y. W. C. A.
The Second Mile.
The Y. W. C. A. prayer meeting
last week was especially interesting,
as several girls took part in the dis
cussion of the subject, "The Second
Mile."
Madge Coble, as leader, spoke of
the necessity of going "the second
mile" in all our work. We may do
this by putting our unfaltering trust
and faith in the All Powerful One.
This coupled with our physical and
mental strength will enable us to
make a response to any need which
is worthy of recognition.
The Twentieth Century is destined
to make the world a Brotherhood.
The League of Nations is putting
into world terms Paul's words to
the Romans, "None of us liveth to
himself, and none of us dieth to him
self." Our soIal and religious hori
zon is widening. We are helping
and giving in faith. We do not pre
fer to live to ourselves, but to sac
rifice, if we may call it such, and to
put forth an earnest effort to learn
of world conditions and their bet
terment.
Following Miss Coble's talk sev
eral members gave short talks on
the opportunity of going the second
mile here at Guilford. Each girl
may go the second mile by doing
more than she is asked to do; by
working in the association and by
work outside it; by showing kind
ness at every opportunity. We are
judged by what we do willingly. It
is not what we do that counts so
much as the spirit in which it is
done—not grudgingly, but willing
and from a sense of love, showing
ourselves friendly to everyone.
Another way to go the second mile
is to do our duty to the folks at
home. They are affording us the
opportunity of being in college, so
we owe it to them to ba Ihorough
and efficient in school work as in
everything else, and to develop every
side of our life.
We will never go the second mile
without a willingness to do so.
While going the first mile we should
not become discouraged, but press
onward to the second, going cheer
fully and helping others on the way.
Forgetting ourselves and helping
others will chase away the "blues"
every time.
ZATAZIANS ELECT ORATORS
At their regular meeting on Fri
day evening, Nov. 7, the Zatazians
debated the following subject: "Re
solved, That Negroes Should Be
Forced to Occupy Certain Territory
Reserved for Them, Just as Indians
Are." Gertrude Bunday and Alice
Chilton successfully upheld the af
firmative, while Roxie McDonald and
Vera Cooper defended the negative.
The judges for the evening were
Clara Farlow, Edith Harrison and
Florence Martin. •
