FRIENDLY UNITY SUBJECT
PROF. SAMUEL HAWORTH
Head of Religious Education Depart
ment States That "Two Can Walk To
gether if They Are Agreed"
INTOLERANCE CAUSE OF TROUBLE
"Can two walk together except they
be agreed?" was the question discussed
in chapel Wednesday morning by Prof.
Samuel L. Ilaworth.
This question, stated by an ancient
prophet, is one of the most persistent
problems of the church today. It has
threatened the division of many de
nominations in the country. There are
modernists and fundamentalists who go
against each other in any attempt that
is made to improve the situation. This
controversy is caused by narrow-mind
edness and intolerance, for each fac
tion has good intentions. Dwight L.
Moody is a good example of what is
necessary for the solution of such a
problem. He had common sense, broad
spirits, and was considerate of others.
Mr. Ilaworth spoke at some length, giv
ing his ideas on the subject of conver
sion. He believes that a child can be
reared to lie a Christian.
Tn liis concluding remarks Professor
Haworth said: "Can two walk together
except they be agreed to walk together?
Tn walking together they may discover
that they think together, and then learn
to act together. This is exactly in line
with the truth, and will perhaps solve
the problem that the ancient prophet
has put before us."

Following the suggestion made by
the trustees and advisory commit
tee of Guilford College at a recent
meeting, the senior class was enter
tained on November 15 by the col
lege advisory committee at the
home of Mr. and Mrs. R. L. Hollo
well in Greensboro. Featuring the
program for the evening Avere Mr.

and all the guests assembled before
the fire for an informal chat before
taking leave of the hosts and host
esses.
FIGHTING QUAKERS
PRIMING FOR ELON
Guilford Team Will Journey to
Alamance Institution For
Closing Game
THANKSGIVING EVENT
When Guilford meets Elon on Thanks
giving day, the football season will be
over. Guilford expects to make Elon
feel that she has had a real game. The
Quakers will be forced to put up a good
scrap to win as it will be an even break
for either team, according to the com
parative scores. Both schools are about
evenly matched. They have had al
most the same scores chalked up against
them by the same teams in the confer
ence this year. It is up to Guilford to
win this last game for the Crimson and
Gray.
In the Thanksgiving day game the
team is backed by the entire student
body, which is going to Elon in private
cars furnished for the occasion. It will
be a game well worth seeing, since Guil
ford will put up a great scrap.
Elon was defeated by A. C. C. by
the same score chalked up against the
Quakers. The Quakers played their sec
ond string men about half of the time
against Wake Forest last Saturday and
lost 60-0 while Elon varsity was defeat
ed 53-0 by Wake Forest.
It may be seen from these scores
that Guilford stands a good chance
against Elon.
The team needs backing and she will
get all that the students have. Let's
whip Elon and make it a real day of
Thanksgiving for Guilford!
OLD NEW GARDEN IS
INTERESTING THEME
Bvron Haworth Discusses the Early History of Friends in North
Carolina and Founding of New Garden Boarding School,
the Predecessor of Guilford
The Yearly Meeting of Friends in
North Carolina was organized in
At that time and at the present the
Friends are probably the most demo
cratic people in our great democracy.
The right and practice of every indi
vidual to participate in all meetings
for business and for worship made it
desirable that all should be well in
formed.
George Fox, the founder of the So
ciety of Friends, was a ways an ardent
advocate of education, encouraging the
establishment of schools in which the

WAKE FOREST DEFEATS aqi.
Wake Forest ran wild with Guilford
last Saturday. The final score was 60-0.
Coach Doak did not use all of his first
team at any time, nor did he even keep
in the game all the men who started.
The game for the first quarter was
rather interesting. Captain Rackley of
Wake Forest could not get his big
team going, and Guilford held them
scoreless. In the second quarter Wake
Forest substitutetd a new team. The
new team got going and scored three
touchdowns in this period. In the third
quarter the Wake Forest varsity again
was sent in and this time they got go
ing and the score began to pile up.
In the meantime Coach Doak was
making numerous substitutions. Guil
ford could make very few gains through
the line and did not resort to the aerial
attack.
Wake Forest used their aerial attack
to good advantage, scoring two touch
downs directly by this method.
It would be hard to pick the stars for
Wake Forest.
Iloyle, Hughes, Ebert and Trivette
probably played best for Guilford.
THE FALL PLAY WILL BE A
HAIR-RAISING PRODUCTION
"Seven Keys to Baldpate" Promises to
Be Most Thrilling Effort of Dra

DECEMBER ELEVENTH IS DATE
"Seven Keys to Baldpate"—and there
was supposed to be only one—is a real
play full of thrills, midnight murders,
and hair-raising adventures that will
make one feel joy, sorrow, and heart
ache. Such is the result to be found in
the fall play, to be given on Decem
ber 11.
Mrs. Binford, the coach, is exceed
ingly pleased with the hard work that
the cast is doing. When the curtain
goes up for the play the audience will
witness a production worthy of com
mendation. A production that will com
pel one to hold one's breath at the sus-

There is evidence that North Caro
lina Yearly Meeting was established as
early as 1074. As early as Fox
established Monthly Meetings in Eng
land. In the fall of 1 >7l he crossed
the Dismal Swamp in North Carolina,
finding "the way plashy, often covered
with great bogs and himself wet to

Very gradually the society made its

FREDERIC SAINTY
TELLS OF STRIKE
English Friend Tells of Work
Done by English Quakers
for Strikers
ARE TRUSTED BY MEN
In his chapel lecture on November
1(5, Frederic Sainty, of London, Eng
land, talked of the general strike situ
ation in England, and more especially
of the recent coal strike which is at
this time just being settled.
"For the first time since England
entered the Great War the pound reach
ed its per-war value at the end of the
great strike," stated the speaker. He
continued to say that this was due to
the fact that the American financiers
seeing that England was stable enough
to stand such a difficult period as the
strike period had been, decided her
pound was worth its full value.
. Before the war, England was the
most moneyed country in the world,
and never before had she been a debtor
country. For three reasons she be
came a debtor country: first, because
during the war she could not keep up
her trade; second, coal was a great ex
port and during the war nothing was
exported; third, she had to borrow mon
ey for her allies. It was due to these
reasons and due to the fact that many
men were thrown out of work that
there was a coal strike.
The mines in England being much
deeper and more dangerous, and the
fact that the coal had to be hauled a
greater distance than in America makes
the process of coal mining much more
expensive. Miners could not stand the
hard work.
Friends played a very important part
in helping feed and clothe the miners
and their families. Churches and homes
were opened up to house people and
were given as headquarters for the
meetings. It was finally a statement
drawn up by some prominent Friends
that quieted the strike.
Mr. Sainty assured the audience that
the miners and the mine owners were
on the best of terms and that every
thing was being peacefully settled.
.Miss Dixon Pays Visit
The daughter of Joseph M. Dixon,
.Miss Dorothy Dixon, was a visitor on
the campus one day during the past
week. She especially wished to visit
the Henry Clay Society hall, where her
father made his beginning as an orator
and speaker. Joseph Dixon is the ex-
Governor of Montana and a former
student of Guilford College.

BY DUKE FOUNDATION
His Appointment Completes
Board to Handle Large En

A TRUSTEE OF GUILFORD
Is Chairman of Board of Trustees and
One of Guilford's Most Illustri
ous Alumni and Patrons
Mr. J. Elwood Cox, chairman of the
Board of Trustees of Guilford College,
a most successful and esteemed alum
nus and patron, received recently an
outstanding honor in his appointment
to serve on the Duke Foundation.
The Duke Foundation is a board ap
pointed to administer the various en
dowment funds left by Benjamin N.
Duke. This board, however, has no con
nection with the administration of Duke
University and should not be confused
with the Board of Trustees of Duke
University. Mr. Cox, president of the
Commercial National Bank of High
Point, is one of the state's leading bank
ers. He also has held high offices in
the American Bankers Association. As
State Highway Commissioner from the
fifth district, Mr. Cox has done all in
his power to develop the present ex
tensive system of highways in North
Carolina.
We read in the Charlotte Observer
for October 27 the following:
"Selection of Mr. J. Elwood Cox,
of High Point, in completion of the
hoard of trustees of the Duke En
dowment, rounds out that organiza
tion in manner of the substantial
kind that would have most pleased
Mr. Duke, for Mr. Cox's mental and
business equipment is in line with
that which characterizes the per
sonnel of this trusteeship, his ac
quirement acting in the nature of
a solidification of an already strong
force. It is a great mission the
trustees of this endowment have
been performing, and a mission that
becomes greater as time passes and
the endowment gains in volume. Its
operations so far have served to
give the public a growing idea of
the vastness of its possibilities for
good to the wide scope of humanity
encompassed in church and school
and hospital. Under the general
ship selected by Mr. Duke there
had been . the minimum of chance
for any miscarriage of the benevol
ent plans he had established; the
drafting of Mr. Cox is a circum
stance that will militate to even
greater public confidence in the
well-going of the great endowment."
The following is written by Dl - . Lyn
don L. Hobbs, who was at Guilford in
the time of Benjamin N. Duke and J.

THE FACULTY IS ON
TIME FOR A CHANGE
Indeed the day of miracles is not
past! Only this quarter the faculty
handed in their grade lists in time for
reports to come out 011 Saturday after
the quarter ended 011 Tuesday. This
is the first time such a daring feat
has been accomplished since the pres
ent registrar has been making out re
ports. The 20th century, with its auto
mobiles, aeroplanes, radios, and numer
ous electrical machines, is considered a
fast age. The swiftness shown in turn
ing in grades this quarter indicates
that the Guilford College faculty has
at last caught this 20th century spirit.
Hats off t> the faculty!
