are still persecuted in Russia,
many escaping to Germany for
freedom to worship according to
their beliefs. The long and glo
rious record of persecutions is
the inheritance of the church of
today. What must the Lord
Jesus Christ think of the twen
tieth century member who re
fuses to help when the call comes
to be a leader?”

Miss Porter Speaks
At Vesper Services
The main feature of the ves
per services on Sunday night,
February 23, was a talk by Miss
Porter. Using as her subject,
"Called To Serve,” Miss Porter
presented her challenge by giv
ing a history of Baptists, empha
sizing the cost which was theirs
through answering the call of
Christ. She declared:
“In past ages the call has often
been to suffering and to torture.
Liberty-loving Baptists, to be
true to their beliefs, have en
dured brandings, imprisonment,
the whipping-post, banishment,
and even death at the stake. We
know how the Anabaptists were
persecuted in Europe. In Eng
land even Queen Elizabeth ‘was
their enemy, and her hostility
continued with increasing vio
lence to the end of her life.’ Un
der Charles II and James II the
Baptists suffered cruelly. It is
well to remember that by many
authorities Milton is classed with
the Baptists. We all know that
John Bunyan, whose name is still
alive through his marvelous
‘Pilgrim’s Progress,’ lingered
twelve years in prison on account
of his faithfulness to Baptist be-

that many a member of the per
secuted church served in the
Revolutionary army. As early as
1635 the Baptists were op
pressed in Massachusetts; in
1636 Roger Williams was ban
ished from Salem—and it is to
be noted that he was a Cam
bridge graduate. In Connecticut,
in 1723, a Baptist preacher who
dared to administer the Holy
Sacrament was condemned to
the whipping-post—the punish
ment not to exceed thirty
stripes! In New York brpding
and fines were the penalties. In
Virginia, in 1617, it was decreed
that everyone should go to the
Church of England, ‘Sundays and
holidays, or lye neck and heels
that night, and be a slave to the
colony the following week; for
the second offense he should be
a slave for a month; and for the
third, a year and a day.’ Many
refugees came to Albemarle, in
North Carolina—a state settled
by lovers of perfect liberty, a
true haven for the oppressed. In
those days and in that State peo
ple traveled a day’s journey to
hear the gospel preached.

Thursday Recital Is
Given By Freshmen
The regular Thursday after
noon recital, February 20, fea
tured a very special program—
being made up solely of numbers
by the Freshmen. This was the
first Freshman program of the
year, and it proved a success as
a whole. Judging from the pro
gram, there are indications of
a great deal of talent in the
Freshman class.
The program was as follows:

Thornton and Myers. Maney for
the Freshmen was decidedly the
best player on the floor, although
she was not up to her playing
standard in this game. Aber-
nethy and Green were below
their standard in playing. Brady
surprised everybody with her
peachy guarding. The first half
ended 4-4 and until the middle
of the fourth quarter the score
was kept close; then the Fresh
men snapped up and ran up their
score. The Sophomores were
not easy opponents. They made
many hits within the vicinity of
their goal, but the Freshman
guards were always ready to
send the ball back.
Much class spirit was evident
by the support given the teams.
The auditorium fairly rocked
with yells and cheers. More in
terest has been evinced in the
games this year than for several
seasons past. The following
games are eagerly anticipated
and each class is backing its
team to the limit:
The line-up:

"My son, do you think that chorus
girl is the sort you could bring home
and introduce to me and your sis

‘‘Sure, mother, but I’d hate to trust
the old man with her.”

the distinction of being the first per

“Remember when we first met in

"That wasn’t the first time we met.”
“Well, that’s when we began going

"Hei-e, boy,” growled the tight-fisted
buyer of a newspaper, “what’s the idea
of yelling ‘Great Swindle, sixty vic
tims!’?”
“Great Swindle!” shouted the news
boy, "Sixty-one victims.”
Wifey: "I heard a noise when you
came in last night.”
Hubby: "Perhaps it was the night
falling.”
Wifey; "No, it wasn’t; it was the
day breaking.”
