Prayer Works Wonders
Pass It On. . .
It is very difficult to place
one’s life entirely in God’s
hands. If we are to live a true
Christian life, this is the very
thing we must learn to do. As
long as we are the driver and
God is the passenger, we will be
unable to keep control of the car.
If on the other hand we were to
turn the steering wheel over to
God, we would find that He has
complete control.
Some people question whether
or not life will be “rosy” once
God has control. In the first
place, we have no right to
question God! Most of us have
the attitude that our prayers
should be answered according to
our wishes. This only proves
what little faith we have in God!
When things don’t turn out like
we want them to, we should
realize that God has something
better in store for us. God has a
purpose for not answering our
prayers exactly like we want
them to be answered.
Sometimes we ask for things
that we would later regret.
Palaver
(Continued From Page 2)
someone with a small mind and
discard yourself respect. If you
are the object of condescension
and verbal abuse have the
courage to abandon the subject
under discussion and defend
yourself with a direct rebuff to
such meanness that may shame
the perpetrator. In the case
where insult is the order and
reason in vain, students will not
receive consideration until they
unite and learn the power of a
vacant classroom.
Few people, indeed, relinquish
power voluntarily.
This week I would like to pass
a poem on to you that has meant
a great deal to me. Take time to
read this poem, but don’t just
read it — comprehend what it
says. Prayers are an important
part of a Christian’s life. They
are our way of communicating
with our Creator. We should
learn to talk with Him not only
when things aren’t going like we
want them to, but when
everything is great. This is what
Elizabeth Gerus is saying in her
poem.
When you’ve
SAY A LITTLE PRAYER
When you’ve a mountain you
must climb
An ocean you must swim.
A challenge that makes chances
Of success seem mighty slim
Before you shrug and say “I
can’t’
Or give in to despair
Stop for just a moment —
And say a little prayer.
When you become discouraged
And feel life has let you down
Or you can’t seem to face the
world
Without a fearsome frown —
Wehn you can’t find the answer
To your problems anywere
Stop for just a moment —
And say a little prayer.
And when you’re feeling con
fident
And proud of your success
Or you have reached a goal you
set
And glow with happiness —
When life is treating you just
right
And you don’t have a care
Stop for just a moment —
And say a little prayer.

Tack & Tattle
Well after missing a week we
have a lot of spill about campus
activities for two weeks.
First of all we are in Kush
Season that is, next to Christ
mas, the biggest season of the
“wants” in the year they want
pledges and the rushees want in.
The new influx of nurses in their
cute little blue and whites have
been roaming around with that
look in their eyes that says
“that’s OK, Buddy, I’ll see you in
the hospital.”
Also, these past two weeks
have been constituted National
Crabby Week. Everyone has
been in a bad mood. Let’s ail be
nice and see how’ far it gets us.
Ah as the famous person once
said, “It is better to have
crabbed and fussed than to
never have crabbed at all.”
The long acclaimed dry run
has alas come to an end. The
pressure was evidently too much
to bear — so the last of the hold
outs picked it up and ran and the
public was liberated once more.
REJOICE!
Nothing real big on couples
this week but there’s one
development that we’re watch
ing. The secret rendevous for
several couples seemed to have
been disasterously ended when
one of the group became
unreasonable and just a trifle
uppity—so that’s another good
deal.
What’s (his that we hear about
a snake in Hilley Hall? A little
clandestine excitement for the
Sigmas? One snake never
caused that much trouble
before. Slither, slither.
Well that about wraps it up for
this week. The moral of this
story seems to be Don’t make
promises you can’t keep and
don’t start nothing you ain’t
gonna finish.
