By MISS FRANCES WHITE From November the seven teenth through the twenty-first Chowan College observed its annual evangelistic week. On Monday, Wednesday and Friday the emphasis was presented during the chapel period and on Tuesday and Thursday forums of interest to the students only were held with voluntary attend ance. Each night the meetings were open to students, faculty and the public, at which time students presided and rendered special music. The visiting minister and key person for the emphasis on the campus was Dr. John T. Bunn, pastor of the Braggtown Baptist Church, Durham, North Caro lina. He contributed untold blessings through his inspira tional and dynamic messages each day. His youth and jovial spirit added much toward Christian fellowship. Two of the messages that were very appealing were, “What Is That In Thine Hand?” and “Is It Easy to Be a Christian To day?” These, with others, had a Biblical background with a fitting application to modern Christian witnessing. Dr. Bunn stated, in substance, that a Christian today has little to com bat in comparison to the ex treme trials and tests to which the early Christians were sub jected. Persecution in our fair land today is indeed minor to those our forefathers endured; such as imprisonment and hun ger, that we might enjoy the religious freedom which is ours. Dr. Bunn also cited examples of ardent followers of Christ in the foreign countries who are being persecuted even unto death. Time and again he reiterated the question -“Is it easy to be a Christian Today?” In addition to the forceful message which Dr. Bunn pre sented, he rendered a great ser vice to the Relieion Department through his illustrated lectures on Archaeology in both the Old and New Testament classes. He related his experiences in the field of exacavation when he was a student of archaeology in Palestine and Egypt. It is his desire to receive his doctors in this study in the near future. His remarks were appropriate to the hour, as the students of religion were at the time doing supplementary reading on the subject. Of particular interest were the pictures and informa tion concerning the Dead Sea Scrolls. The nishtlv “buzz” sessions in the dormitories added color and interest, as they were enjoyed not only by the students but also by Dr. Bunn, even those that lasted until the wee hours of the morning(?). Dr. Bunn’s loyalty in im- oarting the gospel messages, through his social contacts (ping- pong games, etc.), personal con ferences with students and faculty and through personal interest in the college as a whole will always be held in deep gratitude by all who touched shoulders with him during the week he spent on the campus. Chowan also extends appre ciation to the townsfolk who heard Dr. Bunn’s messages and had him in their homes as a dinner guest. He had spent much of his boyhood in Murfreesboro when his father was a pastor of the Baptist church here. “The meeting with former teachers and friends,” as he stated, “wasi one of my great pleasures, along with walking the streets which my boyish feet had trod.” Campus evangelism week of the year 1958 will remain one of the highlights in the history of Chowan College. A hearty “thank you” to all who contri buted toward its success. ''All I Want For Christmas Is-"' Mr. L. L. Bishop—“One ‘A’ math student.” Mr. J.

Prayer Week Held By YWA By BEATRICE CROCKER The Chowan YWA’s held their annual “Week of Prayer,” and the Lottie Moon Christmas offer ing was taken during the week of December 1-5. This was a week for setting aside a little time each day to pray for the Foreign Missionaries and also learning something about Lottie Moon. Monday night at vespers the YWA’s had a film strip on the Lottie Moon Christmas of fering, which was narrated by Serina Davis. Tuesday and Thursday nights, Delores Hill and Susan Harris gave short talks on missionaries from Thailand and Brazil in one of the rooms at the girls’ dormi tory. A morning watch was held Wednesday in the girls’ lounge when each girl had a few minutes to pray for the mission aries who celebrated their birth day on that day. Delores Hill portrayed Lottie Moon on Friday in chapel, tell- ins about her missionary work in China. Soft music was played during the Lottie Moon offering. Posters were put in the “Big House” and the girls dormitory during the week to carry out the theme “And Yet Avideth . . . Hope.” Mr. James Masters—“I would like a five month vacation.” Mr. John McSweeney—“Youth back so I can go off on a week end party (chaperoned).” Mr. Thomas Ruffin—“Would like a million dollars.” Mr. William Sowell—“A nice raise so I can get out of debt.” Mr. Eugene Williams — “To improve my golf game; a trip to Florida, and to see students study a little more.” Mr. James Brisson — “Merry Christmas.” In connection with Christmas, and the wants and wishes ol everyone the Chowanian staff has decided to ask the faculty what they want most—for a cnange.
