EXPRESSION.
FRIDAY, MAY 3, 1912.
The Convention is over.
Kverybody came expecting a great oc
casion. and evtrybody went away .satis-
tied.
A rare treat that.
Dr. ].itrlitl)i)urue: big in body, mind
and soul.
We're nearing the commencement of
which He have talked.
Certainly I lie Convention could not
help beini^ impressed, and that most for
cibly, too, by the showing made on the
part of the children of the Orphanage
t>n Wednesday of its session. The
achievements of their most excellent m*a-
tron, Mrs. Foster, are nothing short of
wonderful as all who witnessed the exer-
 ises will agree. Music of a most touch
ing nature, drills emphasizing skill and
tact, recitation of Psalms, Bible stories
and verses such as would make those
“far older and v.-iser” than they, blush
if called witliout the slightest hesitancy
or fault.
The exercises were as nearly perfect
as could be hoped and point clearly to
the fact that she who had the occasion
in charge must be recognized as one of
the leading forces of the church so far
as the actual accomplishment of lasting
goi>d is concerned and one who deserves,
from quality of work done, if not from
scope of her labors, to be ranked not only
as one of the leading ladies of the Chris-
Church at any time and in any land or
country. Surely the whole church, af
ter having representatives view eviden
ces of the most extraordinary results
accomplished at the Orphanage cannot
hut be made to respond more freely with
means of support and thus help make
the work even more extensive and bene
ficial than it now is.
The annual spring recital given by pu
pils of the department of expression and
Mi.ss Clements was l«;ld in the college
chapel on Saturday evening, April 27th.
All who participated deserve especial
mention and the e\ening was most pleas
ant and enjoyable to' all.
Miss Blanche Xewman presented “Dai
sy's Faith” in a clear, concise manner,
while Miss Annie Laurie Wicker won
hearty applause in “Buying a Railroad
Ticket.'’ Miss Wicker's selection was
Miss Margaret Iseley gave “Cuttings
from Hiawatha” in real Longfellow style
and furnished a good beginning for the
program. “.Jimmy’s Prompt Obedience”
revealed an unpleasast occurrence for the
sedate aunt which was well brought out
by Miss Barrett.
Probably the best number of the eve
ning, however was Jliss \ iola l^razier s
jireseiitation of “Taking An Elevator.
This selection was bright, snappy, hu
morous. excellently rendered, winning her
hearty applause and favorable comment.
All ])resent regretted that Miss Nannie
Haskins was prevented from participat
ing in the evening’s exercises on account
of slight physical indis[)osition.
The program as a whole furnished an
other convincing proof of the elliciency
of the department.

PSIPHELIAN SOCIETY.
The program Friday evening was short,
but as a whole very interesting and at
the same time profitable.
The first thing deserving sjiecial men
tion was the beautiful piano solo render
ed by Miss Estelle Butler. It was enjoy
ed by all, and Miss Butler bids fair to
,.ecome one of our best musicians. A
\ery good short story: “He Made Good,”
read by Miss W innie Du Kant was in
teresting. She read it well and with ex
pression. She is a good member, and
will do cre'Ht to our s^iciety.
La.st, but not least, a very interesting
description, read by Miss Thelma Clymer.
She bids fair to become a good society
worker.
The Society is doing good work and
expects to keep it up.

The meeting was short again to-night
on account of an Elocution Recital, Al-
tho'.itrh short, it was very interesting, Mr,
F, F, Myrick was asked to lead, the ap
pointed leader being absent. He took
his subject from the fourth chapter of
Proverbs, His subject. Battling with
the W, rid, was based on the fcmrteenth
verse whicli reads as follows; “Into the
path of the wicked enter thou not. and
walk not in the way of the evil.” Some
interesting talks were made on the sub
ject. We were especially favored by
the presence of Mr. Winslow, an alum
nus of Guilford. He was an active mem
ber of the Y. M. C. A. there, and his
On account of the attractions nature is
offering on the outside, and the extra work
in preparing for commencement, the stu
dents are prone to become less enthusias
tic in their society work. Still our fol
lowers are faithful. We give several priz
es to those who excel in certain phases
of society work, and this keeps the in
terest and work up to the very last meet
ing,
Mr. R, A, Atkins won first honor as an
orator. Mr. Atkins is a young man of
talent and gives promise that some da;ii
he will sway the multitudes with the.
power of oratory.
The debate was cm the question wheth
er or not a national bank would inter
fere with the circulation of currency in
our country. The affirmative, led by Mr.
J. A. Fogleman. maintained that it would.
He showed that he had male a study
of the banking systems of this and other
countries. He contended that a national
bank would not avoid the panics and
money troubles we now have about once
every decade. He called attention to
the fact that the system was tried twice
and failed both times, and no attempt
has been made since .Jackson’s adminis
tration to re-establish it, until in the last
few years,
Mr. .J, C. Stewart, the strongest defense
for the negative, showed a broad knowl
edge of the banking systems of the
world. He showed by comparison that
we have one of the weakest banking sys
tems in the world, and the one great de
ficiency in our system is the lack of some
conlral institution with which all might
he connected for strength and protection.
He substantiated his argument by the
0|)inion of some of America’s greatest
statesmen.
The debate was won by the negative.

■WITH THE CLIOS FRIDAY EVENING,
The program for the evening was in
deed interesting as every young man on
the |)rogram had thoroughly prepared his
work. An oration for the evening, which
was delivered by Mr. C. C. W'ard, was
good and instructive. His subject was
“Eternal beliefs of humanity.” In this
he brought out the various beliefs of men
towards eternal life. He also showed, in
an interesting manner, how some fear
and hate things said about the life to
CO tile.
Another important item on the pro
gram was Current To|)ics, by Mr. D. F.
Parsons. The most imiiortant topic which
he talked to us about was the great disas
ter on the Atlantic a few days ago. This
disaster is known to us, |;erhaj)S, as being
one of the world’s greatest tragedies. It
was awful to note the number of precious
human lives that were buried in the bot
tom of the ocean to await the day of
resurrection.
Mr. Farmer gave us a very interesting
prophecy of the tVpali^^an class. His
prophecy was indeed interesting. He show
ed that he had put study on his subject.
The debate for the evening was very
well enjoyed. The question resolved it
self thus; “That the authorities were
justifiable in confiscatin? the property of
the Allen outlaws and giving it to the
heirs of their victims.”
The affirmative argued that the au
thorities were justifiable in their act 1>€-
caiise the laws of Virginia require the
outlaws to forfeit their property. They
