lina Glee Club appeared in Me

one of distinctive merit and

members of the Club as well as
unusually able directing on the
part of Mr. Paul John Weaver.
Besides members of the Club,
others taking part
Smith McCorkle, Violinist, and
Lilita W. McCorkle at the piano.
The program consisted of
seven groups of selections,
varied and well-balanced. The
first two songs “Grant Us To Do
With Zeal” and “Now Let Every
Tongue Adore Thee” proved at
once the unusual quality of the
voices and directing.
These were followed by i
violin solo “Pradudium anc
Allegro,” by Pugnani-Kreisler
which was received enthusiasti
cally by the audience.
Three modern American song's
formed the next group, “The
Lamp In the West,” Parker, “A
Song of the Road,” Protheroe,
and “Ma Little Banjo,”. Dich-
mont. These were perhaps the
most popular selections given,
and were sung with a great deal
of skill.
Old classics, “Plorate, Filii
Israel,” Carissimi, “Lo, How
Rose E’er Blooming,” Prae-
torius, “Miserere Mei Deus,”
Allegri and “Now Is the Month

Salem College on Wednesday,
February the twenty-fourth, at
eleven o’clock, rejoiced that the
hour had come to return to the
I'eet tradition of now nearly
'ty yeais of having Bishop
Rondthaler speak in the Lenten
Service. The entire student body
felt this to be a particular and
distinctive service, and extended
to Bishop Rondthaler a deep and
real welcome.
Bishop Rondthaler began his
talk by citing the old proverb
that two are a company, and
three a crowd. He stated that
he was reminded of this pro
verb when he saw two friends
walking past his window. When
there are two together, a secret
can be told and kept. There is
close sympathy in joy or sorrow,
and the purposes of life may be
the more distinctly spoken of.
He again illustrated this well
known proverb by telling o
personal experience with
young companion in school.

there were pits and ditches.
They locked arms so that if one
fell, the other might save him.
This old proverb is founded in
human nature, and is exactly
the principles which the Son of
man loved to adopt,
followed especially as :
towards suffering and cruci
fixion. Such companionship

young writer expresses
very beautifully the thought,
‘0 Master let me walk with thee
n closer, dearer company:
work that makes faith s^
strong; in trust that
triumphs over wrong.” This
old idea which lives through
the ages of the blessed company,
with Jesus one partner and man
the other.
There is a company of two in
the Gospel story, Jesus and
Mary of Bethlehem. In

Olives like a bird’s nest on the
tree, there is a very small place
set all around with fruit trees,

stone steps leading to the porch.
Jesus may be seen sitting on a
low stone wall, and Mary sitting
close by at His feet. The sun is
shining through the shade trees
and beaming beyond on the con
tented face of Mary. Thus one
may pretty well determine what

days. It was as if He we
the Bible talking to her.
Bishop Rondthaler passed to
a place of a different s
described the trip up the long
hill, and then the road following
from Jericho to the Mount of
Olives to Jerusalem. Then he
described a level place to the east
of the village, with a big rock
marking the edge of the road.
Nature itself has fixed the place.
There Mary came in deepest sor
row, for her brother had died.
He had been buried four days
before. She met the Master, and
fell' again at his feet saying,
“Master, if thou hadst been
here, my brother had not died.”
There are many different
kinds of prayer, but they are all
precious. One type of prayer is
for the individual to take the
ase as he sees it saying,
’Master this is my need as 1
feel it, take it, and do with it
'hat thou flndest best. In less
than half an hour after the
prayer of Mary, the voice of the
Son of God is heard, “Lazarus,
come forth.” This is His habit
of dealing with people.
The Bishop then gave a bit of
personal reminiscence telling of
his visit to the woods north of
this city when he was terribly
burdened. He laid the case be
fore the Lord. “I can not do it;
too hard.” Within an hour
afterwards, he was engaged in

Demonstration Given By
Venetian Glass Workers

Auspices of Scientific
Society.
The Scientific Society offered
an unusual privilege to Salem
students last Thursday evening,
when they secured the Vene
tian glass workers to give an ex
hibition of glass blowing in
Memorial Hall.
Mr. Cross conducted
demonstration, while the other
member of the company
plained them and told something
of the history and manufacture
of glass. He said that all the
elements contained in the final
beautiful product are quite
mon and are all taken from the
ejirth; they are all opaque in the
beginning, and only by fusion
does the product become trans
parent. The art of glass making

Home Economics Club
Holds Regular Meeting
Mrs. Meinung Speaks of the
Value of Home Economics
in Home Building.
The Home Economics Club
held its regular meeting on Feb
ruary 24, at 7:15 o’clock in the
campus living room.
After several matters of busi
es were discussed Mrs. Mein
ung gave a very interesting and
instructive talk on the value of
Home Economics in home build
ing. Quoting William James, she
said that education is that
organizing of resources in the
human being of power and con
duct which shall fit him to his
social and physical work. Mrs.
Meinung then stated that from
a study of statistics it had been
found that the largest per cent
of women become housekeepers
and homemakers, many of them
untrained for their work. In
the business world the college
graduate has every advantage
over the self-made man and this
fact is true in regard to the pro
fession of housekeeping. There
time, perhaps, when scien
tific training along this line was
not absolutely necessary, but
today—in this age of food sub
stitutes—some such training is
essential. After showing the ap
plication of chemistry in solving
the everyday questions of the
housekeeper Mrs. Mienung ex
plained the value of it in dealing
with laundry problems. She
showed the benefit of theHome
Nursing course and caring for
the sick and looking after the
health of small children, and
brought out the fact that some
divisions of the family income
could only be made by trained
women, saying that the greatest
field offered to the educated
woman was the work of elevat
ing the home and its plan in
American life. She concluded:
“The twentieth century house
hold demands of its managers
first of all a scientific under
standing of the foods and tex
tiles and of the various articles
and equipment for running the
home, a close watch upon the in
dustries that are contributing to
the home, the sanitary require
ments of a human habitation, a
knowledge of values, a system
of account keeping and ability to
secure from the others the best
they have to give, a full under
standing of the meaning of
home, a woman with a wide
spiritual vision. Train the
women for this work and we will
not need to fear the divorce
evil.”
At the conclusion of the talk
fruit punch and cakes were
served. After deciding that the
next meeting should be in
charge of the freshmen mem
bers the meeting adjourned.
