World-Famous Evangelist Speaks,
Advises ^Choose Your Goal Now^
Speaking on the topic “Faith,” Dr.
R. Stanley .Tones held an audience of
Senior high students spell-bound when
he was speaker for the assembly pro-
here Tuesday, May 2.
Doctor Jones, who has for 35 years
hved in India, is an intimate friend
of Mahatma Ghandi and Generalissimo
Cbiang Kai-Shek. His talk dealt chiefly
with the relationship between modern
life and science and religion with its
iincient and humble beginnings.
“Religion,” Doctor Jones said, “has
^ beautifying and stabilizing elfect on
^ person’s life which is often com
pletely lacking in moderns’ belief, or
flisbelief of everything.”
His description of the activities of
the college student who confessed toi
his professor that he believed in noth
ing was well told, and it brought
n»any people recollections of the times
they had questioned their faith in God,
life and morality.
Dr. .Tones spent some time on
breaking down the idea that God was
unreal, that God had no connection
with man and the universe. lie dwelt
at length on the necessity for the
recognization of God as the supreme
Life, Truth and Intelligence of all the
world.
He added, “To do as you like is not
to be happy unless you desii'e to live
a good life—the person wdio lives as
he pleases with no morals or religion
will never be happy but will be at
“civil war” with hinnself until he comes
to realize his faults and to know God
as his master.”
Before Doctor Jones made his
speech, the Girls’ glee club, under the
able direction of Miss Eiila Tuttle,
sang two selections and Supt. Ben L.
Smith introduced the speaker.
