Night Editor for this issue: Louis Kraar The Meeting Of Minds While today's meeting of the Presbyterian Church is one in which the congregation will hear their report, it will bring the Judicial Commission face to face with the Church. Out of this meeting, and others may come the kind of understanding that Christianity symbolizes. In stating that "Reason could meet reason," and suggesting that his church could reconcile its differences with the Com mission, Mr. Jones has indicated that perhaps the differences found in the report are in reality, not deviations from points of doctrine. - The letter of Rev. R. Murphy Williams, (appearing in the next column) is one assertion of Biblical belief that the local Church has accomplished the denominational aims as well as the broader Christian ones. Mr. Williams is a prominent Greensboro Presbyterian minister. He has pointed out that "In writing to the Christians at Corinth (1 Cor.9:20-22) Paul said: 'And unto the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might gain the Jews: to them, that are under the law, as under the law, that I might gain them that are under the law: To them that are without law as without law, that I might gain them that are wihout law. To the weak I became as weak, that I might gain the weak, I am made all things to all men, that I might by all means save some." We reemphasize the point made in our editorial a few days ago, and the point that Mr. Williams makes that the local church leadership has endeavored to follow the spirit of the laws. 'John Taylor- RevieWS And Previews On Tuesday and Wednesday, the Carolina Theatre will be showing the much touted "The Snows of Kilimanjaro." Now, your reviewer is quite aware that his simply stating that it is not a good film, which it. isn't, and that it is "a distortion" of the original Hemingway short story will not deter anyone from seeing it. After all it does con tain a lot of African war scenes, Ava Gardener, all sorts of mid night life in gay Paree, Ava Gardner, beautiful scenery, and Ava Gardner. Because nothing that is said here will have any effect whatsoever, short shrift shall purposely be given to the film. Incidentally, Gregory Peck, Susan Hayward, Hildegarde Neff, Leo G. Carroll, and a rath er attractive, young woman, whose name escapes me at the moment, are also staggering a round in the African flora and fauna. There is a movie coming to the Varsity Sunday and Monday and it is hoped that students will take this reviewer's word and see it. It is "Outcast of the Islands," the newest film of Carol Reed's, who directed "The Third Man", and "The Fallen starring GREGORY' PECK Out of one masterpiece 20th Century-Fox ff ' has created another! , k II ERNEST HEMINGWAY'S GREATEST LOVE STORY with HILDEGARDE NEFF and Leo G.

Mgr Donald Hogg Ass't. Spts. Ed Tom Peacock Adv. Mgr Ned Beeker Idol". It is the tale of a man, Peter Williams, who sacrifices all for a beautiful ; passionate; native girl, Aissa. Around this simple theme Joseph Conrad, the author of the book from which the movie was made, has woven all sorts of fascinating sub-plots laid in the South Seas, and Reed has brought most of them to the screen. Every character, whether villain or hero, is an intriguing, well-drawn personnage, and the conflicts between these living people are almost unbearable in their intensity. There are many unforgettable moments, such as the much publicized "marathon love scene" between Kerima, who is ten times as silent and sexy as Rita Gam, and Trevor Howard, and the frightening scene in which Robert Morley, as Almayer, the pig-headed trader, is almost barbecued by a group of revolting natives. The entire production is su perlative. An all-star British cast, headed by Howard, Ralph Richardson, Morley, Wendy Hil ler, George Coulouris, and Ker ima, turn in magnificient per formances. For a movie that students will not forget for a long, long time, SUSAN HAYWARD LETTERS (Reprinted from Greensboro Daily News) -Editor of the Daily News: The report - submitted by the body of ten fine Christian men appointed by Orange Presbytery to investigate the condition of the Chapel Hill church, as re ported in the press, was quite a shock to me; and I believe to thousands of Presbyterians in North Carolina. . I have not studied the re port, but it seems to me that the action of the commission was drastic and that the sug gestion that all the officers re sign is enough to humiliate the personnel of the Chapel Hill church, as it would have been to any other church in the Sy nod. For 40 years there have been criticisms hurled against the ministers of that church, not withstanding the fact that many of them have been as sweet spirited Christians as I have ever known, outstanding in character and ability. I have not always shared all "Outcast of the Islands" is given the highest recommendation. John Taylor Tomorrow night at 7:30 p.m. in Memorial Hall, "A Tree Grows In Brooklyn" will be shown, sponsored by Hiller Foundation and Y.M.C.A. Dr. Lee Brooks and Dr. Reuben Hill of the Sociology Department will le'ad the discussion that follows. "A Tree Grows in Brooklyn", by Chapel Hill's Betty Smith, is the rare and tender story of a valient and sensitive little girl reaching hopefully for spiritual fulfillment in a wretching meag er home. It is the story of the love she gathered from a father who was a cheerful ne'er-do-well and of the painful peace she made with her mother after the adored father had died. Peggy Ann Garner, with her plain face and lank hair, is Miss Smith's Francie Nolan to the life. James Dunn plays her father, Johnny Dolan, with deep and sympathetic tenderness. In the performance by these two actors is achieved a demonstra tion of emotion that is eloquent. ' Perhaps the. sequence represent ing the ambition of Francie to go to a better school and the innocent conspiracy with her father to arrange it is the Jost in the film. But, as well as the pathetic attachment between fatlier and daughter, the film transmits a deeply affection conception of the mother, Katie Nolan, whose life was a constant struggle against the family's poverty. As Dorothy McGuire plays her, she gains strength and clarity through the film until a beauti ful and rewarding understand ing of her troubled, noble nature is revealed. Joan Blondell gives a sketchy conception of a warm character as Aunt Sissy. Ted Donaldson is enjoyable as the healthy, little tad of the brood. Lloyd Nolan ably portrays the policeman. James Gleason makes a vivid pub owner and Ferike Boros is fine as the grandmother in a generally excellent cast typed by hand! Herb Cohn AVA GARDNER Letters On The Presbyterian Controversy their views by any means, but that does not mean that they were not sincere and devout Christian men, who preached the everlasting gospel of the blessed God. They have had a tremendous responsibility, as I well realize from my 40 years ministry at the door of one of our largest and greatest institutions of learning. I feel sure that no church in North Carolina would appreciate being subjected to the scrutiny given to the Chapel Hill church by this committee of sincere Christian men. If such were the case much might be found to criticize, both of ministers and officers, -who do not always obey literally the letter of the law of procedure, but are endeavoring to obey the spirit of the law. In thinking over this matter, there comes to my mind Bar nabas, the first missionary of the Christian Church, and the Apostle PauL It was said of BarnabaS in Acts 11:25 "For he was a good man full of the Holy Ghost, and much people was added to the Lord." He was the instrument in God's hand, of saving the Apostle Paul for the church and the world, when , most of the early Christians re jected him. Their first missionary journey was made in company of a young man named John Mark, who for some reason deserted them when difficulties and hardships arose. When they started on their second mission ary journey Barnabas wanted to take John Mark again, but Paul was adamant and would not consent to taking a "quit ter." The contention was so bit ter that they parted asunder and Barnabas took Mark, showing a tenderness, sympathy and for bearance that saved the man who became one of the pillars of church and wrote the Gos pel that bears his name. Paul realized his mistake for later, in his letter to Timothy when he was suffering in prison he called for this young man, declaring that "He is profitable for me for the ministry." II Tim. 4:11. The point I am making is that tolerance and tenderness, forbearance and forgiveness were the wise policies as well as principles that saved the friendship and service of these three great leaders. Who would dare say but that the Chapel Hill church through its ministry has honored and glorified Jesus Christ as the Sa vior of men and brought honor and blessing to our beloved church?

"Be ye there fore wise as serpents and harm less as doves," was the instruc tion our Lord gave His disciples. Mat. 10:16. R. Muphy Williams Greensboro - Edito Since my concern is that of a Presbyterian theological stu dent, I feel' that the events of the past week demand that someone- of my persuasion should speak forth in defense not only of Presbyterianism, but of Christianity itself. I speak not as a Presbyterian' of narrow denominational tenacity (as I am a forthright Ecumenicist), but as a Presbyterian who sees his church as a part of the Holy Catholic Church and who wishes that his church remain within the Holy Catholic Church so that its role in propogating the Faith may not be lost. Perhaps the fundamental problem in the local situation lies in a misconception on the part of Mr. Jones' supporters of what constitutes Christianity. Christianity, in the words of Dean Inge, is not a religion, it is religion. That is to say that Christianity involves both intel lectual and ethical aspects, which are complementary and hence inseparable. Although the ethical system of Christianity may be preached and practised by any number of people, they are not Chris tians unless they are committed intellectually to the basic propo sitions of Christian theism; and conversely, one is not a Christian simply because he gives intel lectual assent to certain prop ositions without practising the ethics for which those proposi tions are the foundation. Chris tianity, then, ultimately stands or falls upon the validity of the basic propositions of Christian cCptee SCecttoa? OR That Stuff in the Ballot Box Ain't Hay Once there was a Senior who faced a Financial Impasse. He was, in a word, Broke due to heavy extra-curricular Operating Expenses. He was discussing with his room mate ways and means of climbing back Aboard the Cold Standard. "Simple," said the roommate, "just tap the Male Parent for an Ad vance." "Don't be Dull," answered Our Hero, Tm already four months ahead on my al lowance. And besides, the Head of the Clan is in a Grim Mood. He Dropped a Bundle on the election results." "Oh-ho," said his side kick, "listen. ..." Our Boy listened. Twenty minutes later he 6t earned into the Western Union office, his brain-cells bulging with Strategy, and dispatched a vital message. To wit: "Dear Dad Went broke backing Steven son. Know you'll understand. Like father, like son. Please wire me fifty. Urgent. Love." The cash arrived within the hour. By West ern Union money - order.

It is to this prop osition, among others, that Mr. Jones does not subscribe. There fore, when you speak of Mr! Jones as a Christian, I infer that you are unaware either of the fact that Christianity involves the acceptance of certain doc trines or of the fact that Mr. Jones does not accept one of the most fundamental of these. That the Presbyterian Church, in its Sunday morning services at least, has been a significant center of religious activity is not to be denied. Nevertheless, I wonder if ,its disregard for church policy and Christian ten ets, its inordinate emphasis up on only certain of the more de batable ethical aspects of Chris tianity, and its effort to make its conception of Christianity ac ceptable to many who cannot be called Christians have not actually succeeded in encourag ing contempt for the Presby-1 terian Church in the United States (from which the local church derives considerable fi nancial support), in promoting cynicism toward Christian the ology (without which our great religion is not true Christianity), in suggesting that the only great commandment is "To love thy neighbor as thyself," and in weakening substantially the in tellectual and spiritual elements seem that these are not impor tant.

This is not in any way to say, of course, that the mission of the church has been a complete fail ure. It is merely to point out that the church can be a sig nificant center of religious ac tivity only when it is measured by a few limited criteria, and when other and more important criteria, as I see, are neglected.
