eiVEN BY PSIPHELIS
Many Interesting Talks and
Readings Given by Young
Ladies of Society.
BETA OMICRON BETA TAKES IN
NEW MEMBER
On Wedneslay evening, Septcnibei
21st, Miss Effio Bowden was received
into the membership of the Beta Oin*-
cron Beta. After the initiation ser
vice the Club members w^ere served de
licious refreshments, consisting of sand
wiches, pickles, lemonade and cakes, by
Misses Della Gotten, Sarah Carter, an^
Victoria Atlams.
Miss Bowden is a graduate of ^rafl-
ry High School, Norfolk, Virginia, and
is a young lady of charming personality
and talent. The Club feels very fortu
nate in having Miss Bowden as a mem
ber.
The following are brief synopses of
the numbers on the Psiphelian Literary
Society program, Monday night, Sep
tember twenty-sixth:
‘How I Spent My Vacation”, Miss
Margaret Moring.
Miss Moring selected her most interest
ing vacation experience and shared it in
an intensely interesting manner with
her society friends. That experience
was a trip to the woncler-land of North
Carolina. Tracing her trip from the
starting point, Winston-Salem, she took
us with her on the gradual ascent that
leads to the highlands, and on over the
mountains into that beautiful country
that fills every North Carolinian’s
heart with pride. All those intere-sting
points which one has heard so much of
were described by Miss Moring. Her^s
w’as an interesting experience and one
that all her he^irers enjoyed wdth her.
“Experience”, a reading. Miss Lois
Holland.—Certain readings are suited
to certain people. Miss Holland read
this selection in so good a manner that
one would say it was originally meant
for her. A little maid, sent to market
by her auntie, is charged by that maiden
lady to be very careful to avoid any in
tercourse w'ith that attractive, but dan-
geroulTcreature—man. The auntie tells
her she knows, for she has had experi
ence. The little maid trips off to mar
ket with her basket on her arm. She
meets a man, he ties her shoelace, he
charms her with his pretty flattery, she
listens and—she does not go to market,
but she does have ‘‘experience”.
“The English Drama^’, Miss Treida
Demmick—Miss Demmick traced the
English drama from its c-arliest begin
nings, clearly and concisely she develop
ed each step in its progress to its pre
sent day standard. Her number was In
structive, interesting and well give-n.
“The Little Dutch Garden”, Miss Della
Gotten—One wanted to exclaim, “What
a beautiful little selection! ” w'hen Miss
Cotten came to the end of this song, a
beautiful old Dutch garden in which
grew “hearts-ease and tomatoes, pinks
and potatoes”, a chirpy little old Dutch
gardner, his spick and span little wife,
and their charming little daughter com
pose the theme of the song. The singer
lost his heart in this Dutch garden, and
so did Miss Cotten’s audience as she
in turn sang it.
“Summary of Elon’s Musical Enter
tainments”, Miss Mary Graham Law
rence.—Miss Lawrence mentioned the
first entertainments Elon ever knew of
and those which have follow’ed unler
the able direction and supervision of
Mr. Betts. Her constructive criticism
of the various entertainments was very
good.
“Progress of Student Government,”
Miss Sula Patterson.—Miss Patterson
entertained her audience with an attrac
tive description of “w'hat w^as” and
“what is”. 'Her association with stu
dent government activities has placed
her in a position to appreciate the prog
ress and growth of the association.
“What Christian Endeavor has Done”,
Miss Maggie Isley.—Christian Endeavor
is an organization which originated
many years ago, and has enjoyed a
recognition which few organizations of
its kind have known. Miss Isley traced
its growth and development in an ex
cellent way. This, the closing number
on the program, was one of supreme in
terest to many.
“Mohammed w^as a completely changed
man. Instead of the gentle, pious soul,
he became a cruel monster. Instead of
the ‘Faithful’ he became the crimi
nal. No longer did he adhere to one
wife, but took as many and whom he
wanted. He was guilty of every crime
in the decalogue.”
He became the virtual governor of
Madina and used the people to forward
his vile purposes. The last eleven
years of the prophet’s life were years
of unspeakable crimes and cruelties.
He died at the comparatively early age
of sixty-two in the year six hundred-
thirty-two. He was succeeded by his
father-in-law, Adubica.
Tuesday’s Lectures
In the third lecture of the series,
Tuesday morning, “The Appeal of Is
lam”, the speaker pictured the spread
of Mohammedanism by his sucee«sors.
In twenty-one years after the death of
the prophet the califf was ruling over
more territory than Rome had ever con
quered. One hundred years after the
death of Mohammed, seven hundred-
thirty-two, Islam met its first defeat it»
Charles Martel, and civilization was
saved.
The fewness of the principles, which
re-sults in a strong faith is responsible
for the strong grip that Mohammedan
ism has upon more than one tenth of
the people of the earth. Their uncom
promising belief in the unity of God
gives them the opportunity to compete
with Christianity for the hearts of men.
In this third lecture the history of the
movement w^as traced until the defeat
of Islam by John Sobieskie of Poland a
thousand years after Martel, and then
even into our own times.
The fourth and closing lecture con
cerned itself with reason why the cres
cent must wane and the cross triumph.
The speaker gave three main reasons
that will eventually bring about the
downfall of Mohammedianism. First,
the vileness of its origin, second, the
fact that it exalts the throne and op
presses the people, and third, its utte?'
disregard of womanhood. In support
ing this argument. Dr. Summerbell gavo
some interesting information, and told
many terrible stories of cruelty to il
lustrate the third reason.
As a w'hole the lectures were full of
the best information about Mohammed
and Mohammedanism. In this field of
comparative religions, Dr. Summerbell
is perfectly at home. Aside from the
facts that the speaker brought to the
student body, there was scattered
throughout the lectures rare bits of de
scription that give an insight into the
life and time of which he was speaking.
The work showed an unusual amount
of historical research. He quoted free
ly from the best authorities on the sub
ject.
INTERESTING SERIES OF LECTURES
(Continued from page one)
Beside tracing the life of the pro
phet, Dr. Summerbell gave an adequate
picture of the times and of the con
dition of Arabia.
In the se-cond lecture of the series the
speaker took up the flight of ^loham-
med, and pictured the glowing re;.ep-
tion accorded him at Madina. “From
this time on,” declared Dr. Summerbell,
CORRECTION
To tlie Editor of Maroon and Gold:
We, the Phi girls of Elon College, re
quest an immediate explanation as to
your taking the liberty of taking the
parody to “Mammy”, which was writ
ten for the Phi boys on new member
ship night, and supplying the word
“Clio” for “Phi”.
Songs were written for the Clios; how
ever, this was not one of them.
Yours truly,
“THE AUTfHOBS”
Maroon and Gold does not care To e'li-
ter into a controversy over the author
ship of this parody. It was delivered
to members of the staff who had no
right to doubt the authenticity of it.
We are, however, reprinting it, this time
as “the authors” claim it should be.
“MAMMY^’
Phi Boys, Phi Boys, The sun shines east,
the sun shines w^est.
But the Phi Boys know where the su4*
shine-s best.
Phi Boys, Phi Boys, our heart strings
are tangled ’round the Phi Boys.
We’re singing with all our hopes in you;
We’re singing—hope you think we’re
ever true.
We’ll sing all night with all our might
for the Phi Boys.
