4 THE TWIG SfISS BIGCEKS CONDUCTS CHAl'EL EXERCISES {Continued from page one) ‘And it shall come to pass that be fore they call I will answer, and while they are yet speaking, I will hear. . . . If ye abide in me and my words in you, ye may ask what ye will and It shall be done unto yon. . . . Ask, and It shall be given unto you; seek, and ye shall And; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. . . . Therefore, I say unto you, what things soever you desire when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.' ” Miss Biggers then gently rebuked us that: "Ye have not because ye ask not." The words of Christ himself. Then to prove that these promises had been, and are being applied to practical every-day life, Miss Biggers gave us some concrete examples of ifuswers to prayers. Probably two of the most Interest ing examples of answers to prayers, selected from five or six examples which she gave us, were: A certain Western college needed a library, which would cost at least $750. The president of the college declared that he could not possibly raise the fund. The librarian, in her distress, ap pealed to him again—and this time the president decided to pray for the money. In order to do the task he had set for himself in the correct way, the president of the college or dered the books first, and then prayed to the Lord for the financial backing. The Lord not only sent the money needed, but tlirougii a good Christian friend of the college, He sent $10,000. Another great and marvelous example of prayer and faith is the Compton Home in Asheville tor friendless girls. The home is run entirely on faith, and every inmate depends upon the goodness of the Lord to provide. Mr. 'lo. Gfid tnr "his girls,” and they are always cared for. Then in a very fitting manner. Miss Biggers led her talk to a close by giving us the secret to having our prayers answered. She said: “We can help in answering prayers if we will keep in tune with God's spirit, and will take time to commune with Clod.” The intelligent girl had an op portunity from this remark to answer the ([uestion which is being asked so much on our campus just at this time: “What Is the secret of Mias Biggers’s life? She seems so calm and happy through all the days of work and worry—I wish I Icnew her secret!” It is pniyor, for nothing can be against us If God is for us. In her last few remarks Miss Diggers pleaded that we exercise the power of prayer and faith in our great crisis now—for our new MerodUh! Why should we, a Chris tian people, in a Christian college, go about fompluining a lack of 11- nances. Let us ask, believing that fiod will give us all of which wo have need. >. t\ V. P. IlN'l’KIM'AI.NEI) •VT UAVIIISON (OLLIKJE Al'HIL 30, MAY 1 AXI) •> (.Continued from iKujv one) Parham, managing editor of the Charlotte Obscrwr. gave a short ad dress on “College Students and tlie Newspaper,’’ Mr. Parham refirc-sented a reportorial career as anything bat a patli of roses, and has probably dis suaded some of us from choosing tlie profession of Sol> Sister in preference to that of teaching. Yet, according to Mr. Parham, belnf a reporter has its con)peii.-jations. After this followed other discus sions of the editorial staff and business staffs, nnd the meeting adjourned at one o'clock. From four to six the fraternity houses were open to the delegates, who spent a pleasant afternoon be coming better acquainted with David son. At seven-thirty in the evening a Spanish entertainment was given by the Davidson and Queens College Spanish Clubs In Shearer Hall. This was very amusing in spite of the fact that our knowledge of Spanish was alight. Among the songs were recog nized the melodies of Pretty Little Blue-cycd Sally and Too Tired. As soon as this waa over The David- xonian and The Davidson Colleyc Magazine were hosts at a banquet given at the Maxwell-Chambers Hotel. This was perhaps the greatest social event of the whole session. Mr. Piggy Martin was toastmaster, keeping the guests in a roar of laughter by his clever speeches. Mr. Lockhart of the Glee Club, also entertained the com pany with some amusing songs. The menu was arranged in a very unique way by Mr. Frederick Smith, the world-famous, all-round genius of Davidson. Prominent among the speeches was the one made by our own editor, Dot McBrayer, The even ing seemed all too short to the guests who at last disbanded sometime near the hour of twelve. Saturday morning came another business meeting, made up of the re port of the executive committees, the reading and approval of the minutes, the reports of special committees, the report of the treasurer, and the elec tion of officers. The chief new officers were Mr. E. G. Moore of State College, president. Miss Dixie Hines of G. C., treasurer, and Mr. Richardson of Elon, secretary. Following this meeting jcarae an address on “The Psychology of the News Item,” by Dr. Frazer Hood, Professor of Education and Psychol ogy at Davidson. This lecture was especially Interesting. The final ad- Q’c.l'acV., ati'l the farewell luncheon at the Maxwell- Chambers Hotel followed at one-thirty. This was a rather sad affair because everyone felt pangs of regret at hav ing to leave so delightful a place as Davidson after such a short stay. No girl who went to the N. C. C. P, A. can complain of being a wall flower, and nobody left Davidson with out having made many new friends. KEFOirr OF FINDINGS COMSIITTEi: OF S. I. A.
