RICHMOND ALUMNI AID LIBRARY
The Altimni Association of Uichmond,
Va content to be organized and
occasionally to «et together in a social
Ttiere is no discounting the vaine
of these items and their worth-whileness,
but the Kichmoud Alumni want more
tliflu these things.
^nd thereby hangs a tale. The
Library Building is being given by Mr.
p J. Carlton, a Richmond Alumnus and
vice-president of the Richmond Alumni
Organization. So the Association has
decided to undertake a campaign fov
books for the Library. This shoe's the
spirit of team play and at ihe same
time exhibits splendid judgment. We
must have books for our Library and
the Ilichmond Aluriini have decided wise
ly to throw their influence and energy
in that direction.
Mrs. P. J. Kernodle has been made
publicity agent for the enterprise. AVith
characteristic enthusiasm and efficiency
she has undertaken her work. Already
the Richmond papers have carried news
stories of her plans and already too sev
eral excellent volumes have been secured.
Mrs. Kernodle does not know how to rest
when an opportuniyt for service chal
lenges. We expect great benefits to Alma
.Mater from her efforts and the co-opera
tion of the Richmond Alumni.

in the Elon basketball schedule which

Statesville Y. M. C. A., Piedmont, and
one game with Davidson have been can
celled. The new teams taken on will be
played away from home, except John B.
Stetson university.
There are a few changes in the dates
of some of the state games. The schedule

nine games on the home court instead
of eleven. The new schedule follows:
January 5, Newberry at Elon.

The Y. W. C. A. program on Sunday
evening was a missionary program given
by the AVorld Fellowship Committee.
Miss Mamie Sockwell, chairman of the
committee, led the meeting.
The program proper was preceded by
a song and prayer service, and a scrip
ture lesson read by Miss Grace Brewer.
Following this part of the program
Miss Fannie Glenn Elder read a paper
by Alice V. Mori'ill, entitled “Open
Doors.” The main theme of the paper
was, "God has left open doors of oppor
tunity whicii no one can shut. Oppor
tunity abounds everywhere.”
Miss Eula Lincoln stated briefly the
conditions in northern Japan as told by
a Japanese minister. The purpose of
this talk was to show the difficulty of
evangelistic service.
The next number on the program was
a vocal solo, “My Father Knows,” sung
very sweetly by . Miss Adelia Jones.
Miss Lucy Austin gave in a short
talk the contents of a letter from a group
of American students in the Xanking
Language School in China. This letter
was largely impressionistic but it served
to show the conditions of the Chinese
cities, which are interesting, but very un
desirable places in which to live.
“Bread cast upon the Water,” was the
subject of Miss Alma Smith’s talk. Miss
Smith told of how a missionary and his
wife felt highly rewarded for their work
by the conversion of one boy whom they
had helped.
A missionary song, “On Greenland’s
Day Mountain,” and a prayer by Miss
Sockwell closed the meeting.
