THECLARIOil VOICE OF BBEVAnn COLLEGE STUDENTS EDITION 3 Tuesday, October 9,1979 Dr. Gilland VOLUME 47 “The Perfect You” by Ronnie Chapman Ur, Jim Gilland, pastor of the First Methodist Church of Brevard, and a member of the Brevard College faculty, was the featured speaker in the 3rd of the Life and Cultui-e series on Wednesday, September 26, in Dunham Auditorium. Rev. Gilland, who is a graduate of High Point College and Duke Divinity School, delivered to a packed auditorium a message centered on the theme “You are a beautiful person.” Using quotation- from the bible and personal experiences as background information. Rev. Gilland told the audience “The bible says that you are beautiful in the original. It is up to each of us to find where we differ from that original.” Gilland informed the audience that one’s inner beauty could be learned through prayer, and that prayer is something that can be practiced. He also said that each one of us is our own worst enemy, and that we often do wrong even though we realize it is wrong as we do it. In presentmg nis message, Rev, Gilland mixed a timely sense of humor with his more serious subjects and added audience participation as well. The audience followed Gilland’s lead in reciting a poem con cerning how good it is to “to be me.” The mild humor of the poem was perfect in conveying the heavy message it carried. As a code of behavior. Rev. Gilland challenged the audience to “try to be what God had in mind when he first though of you.” He added that it was im possible for any individual to be perfect, but that each should try to be “the perfect you”, and stated that the best way in which to accomplish this was to develop ^ inner friendship with Christ.

Preston Entertains by Debi Crane Preston the magician provided his recent audience at B.C. with a lot of good slight-of-hand artistry, some corny humor and an in teresting display of hypnotism. The quick hands of Mr. Preston were a wonder to watch as he played with his magical red, multiplying ball, pulled coins from a willing student ac complice’s ear and turned or dinary tissue paper into hats and panties. Preston even managed to bring a new dimension to that ever popular standby, the magically appearing coin act. The corny humor was an in tegral part of the magician’s constant banter with his audience. Lines like the following were commonplace: (to Dean Wray) “May I call you Morris? Just call me Mr. Preston” The latter part of the show was a display of the magician’s hypnotic powers. Either he is one of the greatest hypnotists alive or Brevard College has some of the best actors around. No matter how you look at it ... this part of the shov/ certainly proved interesting That was the best thing about the show..,it was entertaining. From the Houdini needle trick to the Dean Wray necktie escapade the whole act was fun to watch. WANTED : JEWELRY ine Chamber Choir is seeking old costume jewelry that you no longer want or need.
