OR. SOPER, OF OOKEONIII.,
LECTORES AT ELON COLLEGE
Gave a Most Interesting Lecture on the
Purpose of tlie Lusanne Conference,
to Which He was a Delegate.
Dr. Soper, Dean of School of Religion
at Duke University, addressed the min
isters of the Southern Christian Con
ference at Elon College last Wednesday
evening on the purpose and accomplish
ments of the Lusanne Conference, which
he attended last year in Switzerland.
Dr. S.oper stated that every denomina
tion was officially present, except the
Roman Catholic. He, also, said that the
denominations were agreed as to the
fundamentals of religion as the same,
but to take one step into the theological
side and every one would rise up in
protest.
“Unity” is the main objectives of
all churches and was the topic discussed
and enlarged upon. The one and great
est factor in evidence at the conference
was that they all agreed that the Lord
was present at the Sacrament; but one
step farther on this subject led to bit
ter discussion. So strictly orthodox
were some of the denominations in their
own beliefs that it was impossible for
the entire conference to take the Sacra
ment together.

the interest of the Brooks-Bright

customs and their relations to the

His aim is to further the cause of
world peace through a better under
standing among nations. His lectures
Avill emphasize the efforts of the Brooks-
Bright Foundation for the promotion
of better understanding between Eng*
land and America along the ideas that
form the basic principles of the In
dians. This will involve a portrayal
of the aims, ideals, and philosophy of
the Indian prior to his contact with the
white man.
One of his most important lectures
on the subject of the Jesuits and the
Indians is designed to show the peace

January 24.—At the eleven o’clock
chapel hour today Dr. Smith delivered
his second lecture on his trip to Europe
and the Holy Land. Dr. Smith gave
us a splendid picture of the beauties of
the Holy Land. He noted especially
the city of Damascus as seen from the
mountains which overlook it. He told
us of the American College at Beirut
and of the need of the country for the
leaders in education, medicine, and
agriculture that this school is preparing.
Dr. Smith declared that when he saw
the women and children beggars of this
country he could understand why Jesus’
disciples had told the children to go
away from their ;^^aster. He said that
it was easy to understand how Christ
with all His love and sympathy must
have been constrained to say, “Suffer
the little children to come unto me, and
forbid them not.”
An illustrated lecture on the history
and progress of Elon College was given
by Dr. Harper at the evening service.
In this lecture Dr. Harper traced the |
college from its original source in the
boys’ school in Graham, to Graham

On Wednesday evening, January 18
tlie Psykaleon Literary Society gave
its fifth annual entertainment in the
W hitley Auditorium. The programme
v.as of a varied nature, consisting of
iiumbers both literary and dramatic, yet
typical of the work the society is do
irg.
Miss Ruth Kimball, in her welcome
address, gave the audience a brief his-
tfry of the society. After a brief dis
cussion of Mr. Curwood’s life, Miss
Mabel Alexander told the story of
“The Black Hunter” by him.
Perhaps one of the most interesting
numbers was the Life-story. This was
a short story of any normal person’s
life. While Miss Doll Underwood sang
Mighty Lak a Rose,” a beautifully
decorated picture frame opened and
showed the little Miss sealed in her
small chair. Next, the picture frame
was again opened and revealed two
innocent children at play—this scene
portrayed “Playmates.”
The entire program was rendered ad
mirably. It clearly showed that liter
ary society is the place to procure the
fundamental training in preparing for
the future life. The programme was
ended by the Psykaleon girls singing
their song, which was composed by
Ruth Ruston. Misses Susie Elder, Rose
bud Kimball and Frances Turner are
to be congratulated on arranging such
an interesting programme, and the en
tire society on its effective presenta
tion.

LIPSTICKS BANNED
BV COLLEGE GIRLS
Spartanburg, S. C.—(A. P.)—Makers
of lipsticks and compacts face a long
hard winter if they depend on
Converse College girls for customers.
Those supposedly necessary articles to
feminine make-up were banned by a
unanimous vote at a student meeting
Monday night.
The action came about after Miss
Mary W. Gee, dean of, women, had told
the meeting that the outlawing of
rouge and lipstick would be the most
appreciated Christmas present the girls
could give her. She also suggested
that Converse girls had set fashions in
the past and that if such action were
taken, other places might follow the
examples.
The motion to ban the articles was
quickly made and passed. The girls’
action became knoTvn today when the
“parade” to local theaters and shops
revealed only natural color lips and
cheeks. ■:$

Chapel service at Elon College was
held at 7:30 P. M. Monday evening
in order to give the ministers compos*
ing the Southern Christian Conference
a cordial welcome. Following the wel
come by Dr, W. S. Alexander in behalf
of the Church, College, and Commun
ity and Miss Rosebud Kimball in be
half of the Students, Dr. Harper in
troduced Dr. L. E. Smith, pastor of the
Christian Temple of Norfolk, Va., who
gave a most enlightening and interest-
ingr talk on his trip to the “Old Coun
try.”
A “Glimpse of the East” was the
first of a series of travelogues dealing
generally with the physical aspect of
the ten countries, the habits and the
spiritual elements of each that he visit
ed.
He spoke on the beauties of mid
ocean. the wonderful handiwork of our
Creator. He described London, Eng
land as having a dignified air; neat,
v,-ell built buildings; artistically ar
ranged parks, and surrounded by a
coiintry of rolling plains.
Then he spoke of Belgium, a coun
try that loves the good old United
States. The sceneiy there appealed to
the sentimental side of life, beautiful
homes that were quaint in design.
Next came Switzerland, her Alps, her
lakes, and beautiful snow covered
peaks, and Italy, the subdued and
scared Italy, somber in aspect on ac
count of the menace of militarism.
Venice, he set apart as having a noble
and wonderful people. Greece and
Turkey are classified as different strata
of humanity.
He brought his most inspiring* lecture
to a close by discussing in detail the
religious suffering of Assyria, Palestine
and Egypt in Biblical times.
