A LESSON TO BE TAUGHT
Around the campus of Gardner-
Webb College
Lone-lom couples stand.
These couples, so in love are
they
That they think they must hold
hands.
To prove their love that all may
It’s strong as iron bands.
Week in, week out, from eight
till three,
You will find them all around.
Faculty, visitors, students, too
Will note how their love
abounds.
But let us add and not too soon.
We’ve noted many a frown.
Many G-W scholars seem to feel
There’s a lesson should be
taught.
How there’s a time and place .
For each good deed and thought.
So take these words of wisdom,
friends.
"Fore your reputation slides to
naught.”
“Taken From the Mohosco”
V
OLD FACE-FULL ERUPTS
AGAIN ... A Gardner-Webb
Student discovers how to get a
drink of water in the Science
Building without getting dren
ched by “Old Face-Full” located
on the first floor. After a great
deal of research and experi
ments, it was decided this was
the only way to get water from
the fountain and remain dry.
As a safety precaution, our vol
unteer brought along the towel
since it was feared the rubber
raincoat would not fully pro
tect him from the splattering
avalance of the famed foun
tain.
The Journeyman Program
WE’RE SMALL ENOUGH TO CARE FOR THE INDIVIDUAL
... A Walk Many Alumni Will Rememher This Weekend
BUT WE’RE LARGE ENOUGH TO BADLY NEED A NEW AUDITORIUM
. . .Students, 843 Strong, Leave “Chapel-In-Gym”
(Editor’s Note — The iollowing
is an editorial which appeared
in “Cha4'ity And Children” dur
ing August. It describes a pro
gram which many students at
Gardner-Webb College may feel
led to enter.)
The Foreign Mission Board
would be first to admit that it
does not have all the answers.
It claims no monopoly on ideas
for reaching the people of other
lands.
But Foreign Mission person
nel are always exploring and
testing. And they are ever ready
to adopt the ideas of others.
Now they have come up with
a parallel to the Peace Corps.
The board’s Journeyman Pro
gram is designed especially for
young people, particularly lay
men and women, as they grad
uate from college. They would
volunteer for two years in the
program, serving wherever
needed and using any special
skills and professional knowl
edge they possess.
A Missionary journeyman
must be single, under 27, and
an active worker in a Southern
Baptist church. The special pro
gram will be under direction of
Louis R. Cobbs and will have
its first 50 appointees on the
job by Sept. 1, 1965. Among re
quests from missionaries on the
job are people with such skills
as laboratory technician, secre
tary, draftsman, teacher, phar
macist, librarian, music worker.
When President Kennedy
launched the Peace Corps at
begmning of his administration
it surprised even him that
young people would volunteer
by the thousands for two years
of hardship in lonely outposts
of the world — for token pay
but with unlimited opportuni
ties for service. The appeal of
the Journeyman Program will ;
be even stronger for many j
Southern Baptist youth now 1
given the same opportunity by
the i oreign Mission Board. The
margin of difference is that un
der the Journeyman Program
they will be ministering in the
name of Christ, under denom
inational auspices.
