ADDRESS BY CUNNINGHAM
CLOSES MISSIONS'SCHOOL
SPEAKS ON WHAT IT MEANS
TO BE A CHRISTIAN
The closing address before the
School of Missions was given on the
evening of the 14th by Professor C. C.
Cunningham Head of the Public
Speaking Department of State College,
Raleigh. N. C. Professor Cunningham
is a man of much culture and educa
tion and is, as one might expect, a
good public spe ker. His theme for
the evenings address was "What it
Means to be a Christian.'
The speaker opened his topic by
reading the story of Christ's inter
view with Nicodemus. found in the
third chapter of John. He emphasied
the truth that, without being born
again, one cannot ever see the King
dom of God.
To be a Christian means to have a
new vision, in other words to have a
new light. He illustrated this point
by telling the story of a wealthy Ameri

DAILY BIBLE READING
CHAPEL TALK SUBECT
William Ricfii'e. former Secretary
Pocket Testament league,
Visits Guiljord
William Richie, former student of
Westown and at present a field sec
retary of the Pocket Testament league
made an address here Monday morn
ing during the chapel period.
Each year the Pocket Testament
league distributes thousands of copies
of Pocket Testaments to those applic
rnts who are willing to sign a card
agreeing to read the Bible daily.
The le. gue was started by Helen
Kenburg, an English Quaker girl who
later became Mrs. Charles M. Alex
ander. Associated with the Alex-
anders in their religious work was
George Davis, who distributed a mill
ion testaments in China, where he
found missionaries and students
hungry for more Bibles.
These testaments can be printed at
an avearge cost of fifteen cents each
and they contain the message which
the Chinese have long craved. With
low price available the Pocket Testa
ment league is at the present trying
to meet the demand of China for more
Bibles.
Mr. Richie closed his address with
the statement, "Daily Bible Reading
accompanied by prayer is a very prac
tical habit and the only way in which
we can play the game in God's way."
JOHN DUXBURY GIVES AN
INTERPRETATIVE READING
OF BIBLICAL LITERATURE
JOHN DUXBURY, NOTED
ENGLISH READER AND
IN TER PR E TER (. / V ES
PROGRAM HERE
A throng of people enjoyed the
reading of the book of Job at the meet
ing house Sunday afternoon, as given
by - John Duxbury, England's well
known reader and interpreter of Bibic
-il literature.
The program was somewhat of a
variation from the usual run of pro
grams that are offered here. The art
ist required no equipment upon the
stage other than a chair and his own
resonant and impressive voice, coupl
ed with his matchless power of im
personation. He took the Biblical
patrialrch through his primrl period of
prosperity, across his sad period of af
fliction, and ag. in bore him through
his second era of peace and plenty.
The audience had many times heard
this Scripture read as well; but the
addition of the dramatic, the vivifying
of the language, and the assumption of
ch racteristics suited to the language
used by the several characters were
the things which lifted the bit of art
out of the commonplace and made it
singularly impressive. As the three
friends of the afflicted Job were re
counting the many faniced sins of the
faithful Job, their several natures
were so sustained and portrayed as to
leave a permanent impression in the
mind of what they must have been
in the ancient day when they enacted
the drama in reality.
Following his recital here. Mr. Dux
bury left for \\ instin Salem where he
gave a program of u varied nature in
the evening. This is the first time
that the south ha- had an opportunity
to hear his interpretations.
LAZINESS MAIN CAUSE OF
FAILDRES SAYS HAWORTH
The subject of Professor D. R.
Haworth's chapel talk Wednesday
morning was. "Some of the Causes of
failures among College Students."
In the beginning of hi- ta k Prof
fessor Haworth showed by statistics
that the percentage of f ihi res at Guil
ford is below that of the anniversity of
N. C.
Some of the principal causes of fail- j
ures mentioned are both mental and ,
phvscial laziness, visiting during
study hours, and cutting classess.
The remedies for failure- as sug-
gested by the speaker are: first keep
in good physical condition by getting j
the proper rmount of sleep and eating
regularly; second have schedule of
work and briefly reveiw the past as
signment of the lesson before studying i
the new; the third, cultivate the die- j
lionary habit.
"If ail these suggestions are put in
to practice," concluded Professor
Haworth. "The student can then say,
•'Oh recitation where is thy sting. Oh,
examination where is thy victory!"

Saturday evening, March 20. marks
llie destruction of the goose that has
hung high these few previous weeks.
11 this friend, the goose, continues to
hang high there is an old saying,
that under these circumstances, clear
weather is predicted, on the otlfr hand
should the goose fall or fly low surely
had weather will come. Which shall
we hope for?
Otdy a few rough edges must be
hewn off in the final practices this
week. Mr. and .Mrs. Ingals are well
interperted by Carey Reece and Mae
Hollady. They have acquired a new
disposition, under the influence of
which they can endure the preachings
of Granny, alias Ella Mae Friddle,
who hrs become a true pest, and the
home coming of the frivolous twins
from college, including the other j
many cares parents must endure. Vir- j
ginia Pamperin and Morris Trotter
need no further introduction as the
twins, Lois and Bradley. They are
truly gifted with .the art of acting as j
"over pepped" college students one |
minute, and to the shock of the i
aristocratic grandmother, they prove a I
sensi! V pair when it comes time to j
offer a helping hand in the family ,
finances. Love making, an irt estab- ;
lished centuries ago is well mastered j
by the engaged Dagmar and Hugh j
played by Blanche Spencer and War- j
ren Taylor. The old saying "love con- j
ipiers everything" liav a also 1 steel j
down through the ages even though it |
still must underg > much sacrifice.

GLEE CLUB AT COLFAX
Friday night. March 12, the Glee
Club gave its third concert of the
season at Colfax High School. The
audience was rather small due to the
b d weather, however, those present
seemed well pleased with the program.
The popoular group took especially
well the humorous number by Mr.
Warrick, being the best received.
Members of the college faculty,
who were present, gave favorable
criticism of the program. It has been
greatly improved since the first per
formance, according to their state-
JUNIORS HAVE DISCUSSION
OF THEIR FRESHMAN DAYS
The regular Junior class meeting
was held Tuesday night March 9.
After the business w. s transacted a
"different" program interested the
cla-s.
The two numbers on the program
•vere given by Aileen Beeson and
Sidney \Vin-low. Miss Beeson related
the happenings of the first class meet
ing held by what is now the Junior
Class. She also gave some of her im
pressions of "green freshmen" at this
firM class meeting. The speaker's
idea of timidity was personified by
Louise White. Sidney Winslow and
Ruth Malp; ss.
Sidney WinsMw's two musical
selections played on two light bulbs
were unique even though the musical
quality wa!s lacking. The first of
these was "Cum Sonotus" and the sec
ond "Sine Sonatus". The crash in
the middle of "Sine Sonatus", com
plete destroyed one of the muscial in
struments and caused quite a bit of
disturbance.

W. P. MILLS SPEAKS ON
THE FAR EAST SITUATON
Speaks In Chape! 1 ni! At Y. 1/. A
On Present Day Situations
In China
Thursday and Friday morning chapel
exercises were conducted by Mr. W.
B. Mill- who discussed the present
situ tion in the Far East.
Mr. Mills talked on the "present
3itu tion in the Far East since last
May 30. 1925," when a Chinese work
man in a Japanese mill # in Shanghai
was shot and killed. As a protest
against the killing of this man, a
memorial service was held by the stu
dents and workmen. On returning
from the services some men were
arrested. As the othek- students pro
tested aga'jnst the unfairness of the
trial the foreign police shot into the
crowd and killed quite a few. And
we wonder why the killing set a whole
nation against the West?
Europe is an armed camp. France
has carried hatred in her heart against
Germany since in the seventies.
Between the times of 1840 to 1858
China was forced open at the point
of a sword by Great Britain mainly for
the purpose of trade. China allows
