Dramatic Club In Appreciation The Chowan College personnel, student body and faculty, wishes to express its great appreciation to tlie Alumnae Association for the gift which it has recently con tributed to the library. Sponsoring a campaign for vol untary donations from homes in and around Murfreesboro, the as sociation has collected over a hundred and fifty books, and pre sented them to the library at its meeting on Founder’s Day. According to a report from li brary officials, this donation re duces greatly the number of books as a whole which is needed. The Association is to be congrat- ula'ted on its success in collecting such a large number of useful books. Although the books are varied in type, the majority is recent fiction, written by well-known and loved authors. The students are particularily grateful for these recent novels, as they wiU pro vide entertainment ffor their leis- iire time. The books are valuable as well as varied. Among the non-fiction are two especially valuable copies of the complete works of Burns and Browning. Both are rare editions; being leather-bound and published in 1856 and 1872 re spectively. The books are now being acces sioned, and will soon be released for use. The girls who are in at tendance at Chowan now wish to acknowledge gratefully the inter est shown by the students of other years which results in this useful gift. Economics Department.

Mayb« There'* a Few Vitamin* in Itlf ~By Talburt Personals 'A LITTLE JOURNEY in PALESTINE By JOHN H. BUNN As you journey through the Land of Palestine, the Land of our Lord, you are impressed with the back-ground of her history, the beauty of the Land, and the Oriental type of people. The Land of Palestine has al ways been a Land of Conquest, a Land of conflict and a Land of contrast. From the beginning of her history the Land has been coveted by the various nations of the world. From almost every corner of the globe armies hav« come to subdue the Land; only for short periods of time has the Land fever been free of the rule Of some outside nation of the ■world. When our Lord came, Palestine was under the ircm rule of Rome. The Land has been an easy prey to other nations. At the present time England rules over the Land. But it must be said that England gives to the people more freedom than any nation that has ruled over them. Not only has it been a Land of conquest, but it has been a land of internal conflict. The con flict has been within. There have been bickerings between the peo ple themselves since the time of the Judges. And that is perhaps the greatest weakness of any nation in the world. Today the Jews are pouring into Palestine by the thousands. The Jews are seeldng to restore Zionism in the Land. While on the other hand the Arabs who have long inhabit ed the Land are determined that tee Jews shall not settle perman ently in the Land of Palestine. And at the present time there are bickerings and fighting between the two races. It would not be surprising to know of bloody out breaks of war there at any time. The Arab sleeps with his sword under his head every night, and his gun by his side. Let us hope that the Jews will embrace Christ and return to Palestine and once again make it the Land of hope and peace. Palestine is also a Land of con trast, a contrast in the contour of the land. The high towering mountains speak of majesty, the low lying planes speak of pros perity. One never tires of travel in the land of Palestine. For in stance when you travel from Jer usalem to Jericho you go down all the way. It is three thousand feet lower at Jericho than at Jerusalem. And when you reach the Dead Sea you are twelve and ninety two feet below Sea level. This is the lowest place from sea level on the face of the earth. Then as you travel the long stret ching plaines by the Jordan River, you see flowers and grass growing the year through. Always there is a fragrant perfume in the air from the blossoms of flowers and trees along the bank of the Jor dan. It is a veritable paradise of beauty. In the summer season the rocky hills are barren, while grgss grows below. The shep herds and the sheep dot these hills and plains all through Pales tine. HiUs, plains, dales, the flowing Jordan, the blooming of flowers and the singing of birds gives to al who travel the most wonderful contrast that can be found in nature. It is little won der that God chose this spot where our Lord would come and plant His gospel and give His life to redeem the world from sin. (This article is the first of a series which will continue through Chowanian monthly editions. Mr. Bunn has consented to contribute an article on his travels in The Holy Lands for each issue of the paper. Editor’s Note.) STUDENTS ORGANIZE HOME EC.
