RELIGION Are You Listening WANT TO HELP OTHER PEOPLE Consider those jobs which daal with humai beings as PERSONS—not as customers or cases or patie.its or bosses or worlcers. Such jobs aren’t easy. They’re not over-paid. Nor are they a ticl^et to great prestige and “the smart set.” But they do malce, for thousa ds, a satisfying investment of their 50 years—more or less—carjer. Here are a few; Child psychologist Choral leader Community-chest worker County farm agent Criminologist Diplomat Housing-program director Labor relations adviser Personnel counselor Probation and parole leader Recreation director Scouter or “Y” executive Social case worker Social group worker Teacher From the religious standpoint a young man may be “called” to such a task just as completely as a minister is called to his work. It’s the Christian view that God does need people in such jobs—and that He summons certain people to them, as to any worthwhile job a Christian can do Be sure that you csn make your job YOUR means of serving people and serviig God, through duties well and honestly done. That’s what is mea.;t by “Christian vocation” in any field of work. Will your life be invested for self, or things, or PEOPLE? CHOICE OF FRIENDS I chose my friends for what they are ... A id what they ‘ mean to me . . . And not because some lucky star . . . Has kept them company ... I chose them rot for wealth or fame . . . Or favors they may do . . . But just because they are the same . . . When skies are grey or blue . . . Because they mean the word they say . . . And everything they write . And they would never run away . . . And leave me to my plight . . . They share my fondest hopes and dreams . . . And help me carry on . . . However dark the hours seems . . . When happiness is gone . . . They are the ones with time to spare . . . When I am looking for . . . The kind of friends who really care . . . And last forevermore. B S.U.1:0NVENTI0N On the afternoon of November the sixth, one thousand students from various colleges and uiiversities throughout North Carolina gathered for what proved to be a very edu cational, inspirational and recreational weekend. This was me annual B. S. U. Convention, held this year at the First Baptist Church of Winston-Salem. From all reports the program was filled with wonderful speakers. Amo.,g these were Dr. Roger Crook of Meredith college who had devotions for each assembly. These were central theme of the convention which was Worship and Work.” The keynote address of the first session was given by Robert S. Denny, Associate South-wide Baptist Student Union Secretary. He so graphically opened the eyes of the repre- se tatives to the responsibility we have toward the people around the world who are not as fortunate as we The outstanding speaker of the entire Convention was Dr John Oliver Nelson of Yale University. He delivered two addresses during the convention. These were enjoyed by all They so wonderfully brought out the theme of the Conven- Other speakers were Dr. Emily Lansdell who spoke on the topic of “Missions.” Another outstanding speaker was Spencer Thornton, a student missionary who worked on a foreign field in Hawaii this summer. All in all the convention was well worth while. The B S. U. still holds a very high place on the campuses of the colleges of our state and in the heart of North Carolina Bap- Does love impel sacrifice toward every need in your life? Many questions of vast importance are being asked of every individual during our day, but no e can supersede those of whether your existence is for “getting” or “giving ” Many people feel thnt it is o ly proper to ridicule the suf ferings or unfortunate state of others; very few of these people ^re remembere:! for doiig anything either worthwhile or worthless in the history of the world. When a man neglects the needs of his neighbor, he is neglecting his own needs. The Listen campaign was brought about by the com pelling messages of Dr. Walter Judd, congressman of Min nesota. and Dr. Louis Evans, Presbyterian Minister at Large at Ridgecrest last June to a group of students. Does the statement. “More Than Half The World’s Population Goes To Bed Hungry Every Night,” mean anything to you as a member of the world’s population. This statement is not including those of us who go to bed with a little empty feel- our stornach because our stomach has finally digested all the food before we can refill it as we have been doing at least three tirnes a day. We get hungry of course, but it is far from the hunger which v/ould drive men to eating cats and dogs and perhaps to cannibalism. Very few of us have ever felt tanger pangs that actually were painful. Many per- sons on this campus are unwilling to admit even to them- selyes that their needs are met bountifully. Suppose we could call back some of the men who carved our nation out of the wilderness and asked them how they got their food; their answer would not surpri^se us, but we would not understand It because we have no thoughts for “hard work.” n, ^ ® great deal of money in some parts of the world. That amount of money given by the students in Baptist colleges for a period of nine months would amount to about $40,000 m North Carolina alone. Can you see a pic- ture of the suffering of hunger that that amount of money would relieve around the world in your mind? Can you see 1 brothers and sisters filhng theniselves with food for perhaps the first time in their short lives? If you gave a small friend of yours some candv and he would not divide with his playmate because of sel fishness, you might take some from the former and give to the latter if you were a normal human being God gives us ample chance to divide and if we don’t ?' The Listen campaign is a chance to share and receive s us support this program with a penny a aay or a meal a month and show ourselves that we are made of something we can be proud of.
