RELIGION Adoption Papers Completed The Y.W.A.’s have really started the year with a bang! None other than Mr. Morrisett could have inspired them to such a thrilling start at their first meeting. At that time he impressed upon them their importance as individuals in the missions program right now while they are in school. He made each girl aware of the great responsibility that she as an in dividual has to support missions by her prayers and by giv ing. In illustrating these two points, Mr. Morrisett set every girl present back a pace by telling that last year on this cam pus the boarding students alone spent $6,000.00 for cokes and candy. This was such a startling announcement that the in terest of the girls was immediately aroused about how they could spend that money for a more worthy cause this year. They figured that the group present at that meeting had spent about $824.00. This amounted to about eOf per person Several ideas were thought of, in fact, the girls were .so enthused that more ideas were mentioned than they could pos sibly take care of. After thinking about these suggestions, the girls decided on a project for the year. This is their plan: Over in Nazerath, where Fu’ad and Ghazi live, there is a home which takes care of about twenty young children. These children were found out in the streets and fields when they were just small babies; they were help less and unwanted. They were taken into this home, of which a former Gardner-Webb student is in charge. The children are now about five or six years old. Mr. Morrisett saw them when they were about two, and Pu’ad has a picture of them. The Y.W.A.’s have decided that they want to take complete care of one of those children for the year. They came to this decision because of their natural interest in the home in Naze- rath — because it is the home town of Fu’ad and Ghazi, be cause a former G.W. student is in charge of the home, and because Jesus Himself lived in Nazerath. The way the girls plan to raise the money for their pro ject is by saving their nickels instead of drinking so many cokes and eating so much candy. They have ordered little boxes, which they could obtain from the state W.M.U. free of charge, and they are going to fill these boxes for their little The girls are going: to have a lot of fun with their pro ject. It won’t be like giving money to some person that they never heard of. They will know all about their little boy or girl, whichever it may be; they will know his name, what he likes, and how he looks; they will feel that he belongs to them. He will be their complete responsibility. So if you start to get a coke, and you see a little box with a little child’s picture on it, remind yourself: “We spent $6,000.00 on cokes and candy last year. I really aon’t have to have this coke, and this little boy needs so many things. I’ll give him this nickel.” If you do this, you’ll receive something that will be worth far more than that coke you were going to buy. "My Life On The Campus" Does my life really count for Christ? When my classmates sit beside me in the classroom, walk past me on the grounds, or stand near me in the meal line, can they tell that Christ dwells in me? Can they tell that I am a Christian? Everything I say or do is a page in the book of my life. My friends are watching me and I am exerting influence upon them be it good or bad. The Lord has given me an opportunity to do with my life what I will. I am free to choose as I wish. On every side He reaches out and gives me opportunities to witness for Him. He never fails to talk to me, but I often find myself too busy to listen. My mind is wrapped up in the work which I have about me. Often the day is too short and my work to heavy to get up a half hour earlier and go to morning watch or go to noon day prayer meeting when I could be talking with some one in the student center. When night comes, I want to forget about the cares of the day and it is much easier to walk up to the shop rather than go to vespers. When the week-end rolls around and Sunday morning comes, I am relieved that there STUDENT REVIVAL Already the first six weeks of college life has faded into the deep depth of history. Only oui- memories can bring forth our past experiences at Gardner-Webb. But as time goes by, even these past six weeks have made a d“'5’i engravem^nt in cur lives and also in the life cf Gardner-Webb College. One cf the outstanding events that has been wr'tt-^n down in cur biography was our student revival. The Tfeverend M. O. Owens was the minister. Only through God was this revival possible and only through your pravers was it successful . . . With the leadership of the Spirit, the B.S.U. and its council did a most remarkable job in conducting and planning the We give thanks to Mr. Morrisett for his leading the sing ing. His choice of songs and h's Cbrist-like attitude helped us all in discarding our troubles and burdens which we collected throughout the day. We also thank Mr. Owens for his tire less and gracious efforts in bringing timely and inspiring mes sages. Pray fcr him as he continues his work at Lenoir.

But then I remember that it is the Lord’s Day. As I think of my life on the campus, I want to make it the best I can and always strive to put Christ first. For life is far too short, and I must remember that in a little while the life I have lived here will only be a memory. Peter Marshall was right when he said: “The measure of life after all is not in its duration, but in its donation.” .§UR.ioM g snouoiS uBui 'f p9uoiqsi3j ■£ .ladiaq x ^poq 'Z p.ioa z 9.§UT3qo Aipiog 'I IK:S -i™ -6 9:£I qoH '8 : suoijsanJj sjaMsuv Page 6
