Religious
Emphasis Week
By MARIAN WALTERS
The Gardner-Webb B. S. U. spon
sored Religious Emphasis Week,
which took place in the Hamrick
Building the third week of March.
The theme for the week was
‘‘Christ the Master of All Men Ev
erywhere.” Daily programs at 10:30
a.m. and 7:00 p.m. consisted of va
rious talks, panel discussions, and
special music.
Speakers for Religious Emphasis
Week included Miss Miriam Hollis,
assistant B. S. U. State Secretary;
Rev. Harold House, Shelby: Rev. C.
O. Greene, Lawndale; and Rev. Je-
cumset Graham, Shelby.
A panel discussion on Tuesday
night dealt with “Moral or Immoral”
issues and another patiel discussion
on Friday night answered questions
about “Love, Courtship, and Mar
riage.” Suggestion blanks given out
previously in chapel enabled the stu
dent body the opportunity to submit
suggestions for the programs.
An annual event,. Religious Em
phasis Week strives to give added
Religious inspiration to the Campus
and to help solve the student’s prob
lems in Religion.
(Continued Prom Page One)
Performed over 2,000 wedding
ceremonies.
Preached over 30,000 sermons, of
ten as many as five sermons in as
many churches each Sunday.
Cana.an In Carolina takes the
reader back to 1870’s when Shelby
and Rutherfordton were a full day’s
journey apart, separatde by un
bridged rivers, muddy trails, and
virgin forests. No telephones, ra
dios, or even electric power lines
linked the two, and if any newspa
pers existed they were a far cry
from today’s publications.
Into this post-Civil War South of
poverty and hopelessness, John
William Suttle was born in 1872.
Odds are few people expected the
little runt to survive, and certainly
nobody could have foreseen him as
the leader he was to become.
For John W. Suttle’s audiences
included the Chief Justice of the
Supreme Court and also some of
Madison County’s busiest ‘ bootleg
gers.
He conducted the funeral services
for Governor and Ambassador O.
Max Gardner, and also for many an
illiterate woodcutter.
He was pastor for Dr. J. N. Bar
nett and Dr. A. V. Washburn, lead
ers in the Southern Baptist Sunday
School Board—when they were un
known farmers plowing cotton.
He had the vision to see potential
in the everyday man, perhaps be
cause he felt a certain potential in
himself as God’s man.
Truly John W. Suttle has been
aptly captured on the pages of a
book describing what he found, his
own “Canaan in Carolina.”

B. S. U. Officers
Elected
By MARIAN WALTERS
During a chapel period recently,
12 outstanding freshmen were elect
ed by the student body to positions
of responsibility in the campus Bap
tist Student Union. The organiza
tion’s executive council for 1958-1959
will be comprised of these officers
and the presidents ’ of the Young
(Continued
all the people standing In the group
were from Gardner-Webb and we
said yes. The reply was, “How many
do you have in your club?” Our
president, Beverly Guffey politely
replied, “This Is all of us and some
more too.” We passed by some girls
standing In the lobby and as I was
near the end of the line, I heard one
of the girls say, “All of those were
from the same place.” So we began
to wonder about how many dele
gates we were supposed to have at
the convention. We decided that if
we were called to stand at the meet
ing that we would let the president
and the vice-president stand, so we
wouldn’t look so stupid.
The speaker for the meeting was,
Dr. Robert Holt, vice-president of
Mars Hill College. He stated that
teachers had just come Into the
spotlight. They must assume total
responsibility and that their main
privileges were being respected. A
statement that he made I thought
was very good was “BEWARE OP
SLIPPING INTO A WHITE COL
LAR JOB. A teacher’s position de
mands service. He also told some of
the privileges that a teacher has.
After the meeting a slip of paper
was seen that explained why every
one thought we had so many stu
dents in our club. If the club had 30
members, we could send 3 delegates '
and for each additional 25 mem
bers, another delegate could be sent.
We figured for the number of stu
dents we had at the convention we
were supposed to have 180 members
In our club. We do weU to have 12-15
at our meetings.
There was a nice snow storm en
joyed by all as we left Asheville.
We were in a hurry because Mr.
Moseley had to be on a panel dis
cussion In the Hamrick Building at
7 o’clock that evening.
We arrived at the school at 7 p.
m. just In time for him to get on the
stage and-start talking about love,
courtship, and marriage.
I hope that If the P. T. A. goes to
the convention next year they at
least know how many delegates to
send so they won’1
