Our Forgotten Guardian
"And these wordi;, which I command thee ihi* day,
shall be in thine heart, and tfiou shall write them upon
the posts of thy house, and on thy ”
AmoiiK the Hebrew people was obi>erved the beautiful
ciLstorn of attaching to tne doorway o( each house a
■mall i.'u»e which contained a written summary of the
juiicin in th Uook o( Deuteronormy. "And these words,
wtucta 1 I'ommand thee this day i>nall be m thyheart.
And Uiou shalt write them upon the posts ul thy hoiise,
and on thy gat**' " Thiit smallcase, called the “mezu-
xah," was the gaurdian o( the door. Everyone who saw
It there was reminded that only such things as could
puss the te.ils ot God .s W(jrd must be allowed to enter the
house or <'ome out ol it.
In this day o( trial and trouble we seem to have for
gotten that we should have a guardian at our door. Not
to keep people out but to keep trouble and morbid at
mosphere out. While we are off to college we get to
meet many young people and each has a certain type of
per? inality. We can sec a lot m people's personalities
about thfir homes For example, think ol one of the
most destructive of these evil spirits— the spirit of quar
reling. Think of that young person who has never been
able to get along with anyone. His emotions had been
twisted through his growing years by the bitterness of
quarreling parents This nagging and jealous young
wili-wasspoiledbya sellKshly mdulgent father and moth
er So many times we let loose in our homes all the bad
manners for which anyone outside would leave us cold.
The old woman who scholded a young couple, “It is so
vulgar to fight m public, what do you thmk you have a
home for?" was saying what many people seem to feel.
But to me the love, God—like love, that we could have
and must have for our family is the only guardian of the
door. This love given by God is so stormy no power on
earth ■ i>uld penetrate it. &ne method of getting this love
IS thru one-sentence table blessing well memorized and
•incerely spoken. Another is to be led m prayer by one
of the great leaders of the church, whose prayer maybe
read from some books of devotions. This may be a most
insviring approach to God.
All that I have .said may be summed up here. Keeping
religion ulive within the home is the most important. The
mother who is eager to hold out of her home what should
in full assurance in the Unseen Helper who is with her
in the house. For the Master has told us, “Behold, I
stand at the door, and knock: is any man hear my voice,
and open the door. I will come in to him, and will say
with him, and he with me.”
Lord Christ, beneath thy starry dome
We light this flickering lamp of home, ,
And where bewildering shadows throng
Uplift our prayer and eversong.
Dost thou with heaven in thy ken
Seek still a dwelling place with men.
Wondering the world in ceaseless quest?
O man of Nazareth be our guest!
Shepherd of mortals, here behold
A little block a wayside (old
That wait thy presence to be blest
O man of Nazareth, be our guest!
Amen

Crirl’s Dormitory
The new girls' dormitory at Atlantic Christian college
is rapidly nearing completion and at the present rate of
construction should be occupied by the beginning of the
next semester This new dorm is as beautiful a building
as I have ever seen. It contains numerous individual
girls' rooms, a large game room, parlors, laundry
rooms, living quarters for the Dean of Women, and a
large rfujption room. The floors are finished in tile and
hardwood There are large chandeliers in the game room
and a beautiful fireplace. The plans for furnishing this
room at the present time include ping pong tables, col
lapsible chuirs, two large sofas, a number of large leath
er chairs, and card tables around the room.
The building includes large storage rooms or qlosets.
This i.« the place where the furniture in the game room
will be stored when a dance is held. This is the first
time that a place for social dances on the campus will
be available.
The money for the furnishing of the game room will
have to come from organizations on the campus. The
sofas and the ping pong tables are already available
The small card tables cost $6.50 and the large ones cost
)10.00. The collapsible chairs cost $3.20 apiece. At least
two of the sororities and fraternities have already pro
mised to buy some of these pieces of furniture. This
should serve as a challenge to the rest of the campus
organizations who are seeking worthy causes to contri
bute to This IS a project which all of us will benefit
from and enjoy. A plan is under consideration to place
a plaque in the room with the name of all contributors
on It All organizations and individuals who wish to find
out more about the furnishing of these rooms should get
in touch with Miu Ward. Dean of Women, who can fur
nish you with the necessary information.
