Showing of
^The Birth of a
Nation'"
After a postponement when the film
failed to arrive, the Sp:ech-Drama Club’s
showing of "ihe Birth of a Nation” finally
materialized on April 9, instead of on April
6, which had betn the date previously an
nounced.
Ticket sales, originally expected to top
300, totalled only 48, with the result that
the showing failed to even meet expenses.
"We cannot be expected to put on activi
ties of this sort,” speech-drama director, Eu
gene H. Fernette announced, "unless we ob
tain greater cooperation from our students
and facult}' in supporting such events.”
TIME OUT FOR
SPIRITUAL GUIDANCE
LAN IERN OF THE LORD
The following paraphrase of the 23rd
Psalm was written by a Korean student about
her experiences in crossing the 38th parallel
to flee from Comm .mist oppression in North
Korea in 1946.
"The Lord is my lantern—
He lightens up the road I take;
Although the way be dark and rough,
since I have the Lord’s lantern, I will not be
hesitant about where to step.
Because the light of the Lord's love il
luminated my way 1 v/as able to come over
the 38th parallel in one leap.
Although my life is one of wandering in
a valley where the Red Horse charges, l am
not terrified, for He is with me.
The Lord’s love inspires me and draws me
and encourages me. My cup runs over.
Because the Lord will give light through
my whole life, I will dwell in his bright and
shining house forevermore.”

College campus) was derived from a

it passes beneath the library were brought
from Atlanta?

was the children’s play room when this
was the Seeley’s estate?
