PAGE rOUB THE COMPASS JANUARY, 1965 A Call to Worship By R. IrvinK Boone College Minister One of the primary needs of our contemporary society is a deeper sense of the importance of Christian worship, The experience of woriihip is basic to normal and symmetrical personality develop ment. Unquestionably, many of the frustrations, anxieties, and neuroses with which increasing numbers of people are afflicted, are directly traceable to a neglect of divine worship. What is true, in this con nection. with people generally, is equally applicable to those indi viduals who comprise the popula tion of the college campus. Worship is as old as man, as important as life, and as necessary as the air we breathe. Devotional life involves many activities, such as preaching, teaching, singing, giving; but worship is the heart of them all. The spiritual spring which waters the other activities dries up when worship is neglected. The experience of worship has various manifestations. It is medi tating and praying to express the soul’s sincere desire. It is resting our weary hearts and minds on the Everlasting Arms. It is emptying and cleansing our minds of fear and worry, jealousy and envy, that God may fill the vacuum with His goodness. It is being quiet and relaxed that we may experience the inflow of peace that passelh understanding. It is counting our many blessings and giving thanks for the power to grow, to serve, to conquer ourselves and to discover the sublime values of the life of the spirit. It is the inspiring reali zation that this is God’s world; that all life pulsates with God’s eternal purpose, and that we are part of the divine pattern and plan. It is realigning our lives wiih the laws ahd principles of God. that we may move forward, with our fellowmen, on the pathway of the King. It is renewing our noblest dreams and aspirations that we may rise above defeat, failure and discouragement, and have another irj^i making the most out of our hves, It is climbing to ihe spiritual mountain-top of con scious oneness with God that we may light again the candles of our spirits and become new creaturcs. Worship brings its rewards. Worship of God builds character. Worship generates the power of a passion for helpfulness to others. Out of the sanctuary has come the church's assault on social injustice, its emancipation of womanhood from the low status she suffers in paganism, its service to under privileged children, Through the inspiration of worship, hospitals have been built; foundations have been established; charities, for di vers worthy causes, have been perpetuated; educational institu tions have been founded and main tained. If war is ever to be abolished, or if race prejudice is ever wiped out. it will be by the power of men and women who worship God, The conclusion of the whole matter is—whoever negiects the experience of Christian worship is an enemy to his or her own best interest and an alien to the Com monwealth of Righteousness. Renovations (CORtniued from Page 2) the great heritage of our nation down to and including our .school and various communities. Let not our heritage become a ere hypocrisy to our salute to the flag, because together, we too hold the posterity of this country ur hands. We are well aware of the fact that history and the achievement of Amcrica stand as a monument to the personal sponsibility of free men. Building for the generations to come was a prime consideration. The G o d- given liberty which was established into a form of government, should be a dominating force of our lives. This is why we must say no to complacency and yes to advance ment and challenge now. We need a further intensification of those qualities of vision, daring patience, fortitude, and a readiness for hard work! Therefore, let us also renovate ir concepts In order that destiny as a whole might be changed for the belter. We would not tilt the balance of progress, then, for as know, the unbalanced scale usually weakens and eventually Let's Re-evaluate And Resolve By OTHA SVDNOR President of Student Council The old year has passed, and the first semester is rapidly drawing to a close. The old year, 1964, has indeed been a year of conflicts, upsets, and arresting events: John son beat Goldwater convincingly at the polls; the Civil Rights Act was passed, several southern states voted Republican for the first time in a century; and the Cleveland Browns upset the Baltimore Colts for the National Football League Championship. It is now time for us to pause a moment to recount our activities in 1964. The Student Council has been attempting to plan activities of education and entertainment for all members of the College family. The activities which highlighted the first semester have been: 1, The preparation of a student hand book. Have you read it yet? 2. The annual talent show which was the brightest spot of the Home coming activities. It was bigger than ever. 3. The Christmas Dance came off smoothly, and the gym was decorated beautiful ly by students and some of the faculty members, 4. A tutorial program was proposed and is op erating effectively in several de partments. The Student Council is going through a period of transforma tion. Every major student organi zation and all interested students have been invited and encouraged to participate io the Student Coun cil. Attempts are being made to make the Student Council truly a body that represents all "Vikings.” During the past year, we have been confronted with some of our same old problems—line cutting, low attendance at vespers and semblies, poor attendance at stu dent body meetings, and insuf ficient support of campus organi zations.

Your ideas are the ones that really count, so let those ideas of yours roll in to us: we all will greatly profit from them. The office of the Student Coun cil is always open to tho^e stu dents who may or may not have difficulties. Stop by and see what really goes on. 1 know you will find it as interesting and helpful as I did. dent Council is only a representa tive body. We. the elected mem bers. try to act in the best interests of the students. T^e success failure of the Student Council will depend upon the amount of sup port it receives from the students. We do not want "lip service.” We want your ideas, your suggestions, your criticisms, and your opinions. With the arrival of the year, let each of us resolve to do much better in 1965. Let us solve that each of us will make ourselves a committee of one to see lo it that the work which needs to be done is accomplished.
