THE CONVENTION, A DECIDED SUCCESS We were gratified to see the spirit with which the students, faculty and friends entered into the business of entertaining the delegates to the recent convention. We wish to congratulate you on your success. T he program which was arranged for the visitois was very interesting as well as educational. It was well arranged and was carried out in excellent style. At no time during the con vention did time hang on the visitors’ hands. The question was. How shall I attend all that I am supposed to attend? Every one responded admirably in whatever capacity he was asked to serve. This convention, so far as we are concerned, was a decided success, and we predict that an annual convention of a similar nature would do TOucli toward aiding the homes, the churches, the pastors and the college. —E C— DR. SOPER’S ADDRESS Dr. Soper, Dean of the Divinity School, of Duke University, has been an outstanding figure in several national and international gatherings. He is not only prominent in religious conferences but is also a leader in educational and social conventions. Dr. Soper gave us a very interesting account of the Lusanne Conference held in Switzerland last summer. The subject of this conference was Faith and Order. One topic on which all the delegates agreed v\'as, that Christ was present at the sacrament. The personal interest, and the way the delegates tried to understand each other, to get each other’s viewpoint on important questions leads one to believe that eventually all will unite and there will be only' one church, one Christ, one religion. The sooner this comes, the better it will be. We enjoyed Dr. Soper’s address very much and hope he will return to our campus soon. —E C— OUR TEAM HAS RETURNED Our te'am has returned from the northern trip, having been victors only twice out of seven chances on this trip. We had hoped that they would win many more than that; however, we must not be down hearted. Just remember that these boys had to ride prac tically all day and play at night. Naturally they were unable to give the best account of themselves on the floor. We call your spe cial attention to the letter of Dr. Gilbert, Dean of Defiance College, which is printed in another column of this paper. We are ifiore than glad to hear of the splendid impression that the boys made as true Southerners. The members of the team reported that thev had an e.xcellent time on the trip; and we feel sure they did, con sidering the warm reception they received at Defiance and other places. —E C— DR. NEWMAN’S LECTURES Dr. Newman has been teaching at Elon College since it was founded in 1889. Having studied at Yale and Chicago he has had excellent training and is one of the most eminent Bible instructors in the South. Because of his ability, his experience and his training, he was more than capable of delivering the series of lectures that he gave during the recent convention. He accepted this as his part. Dr. Newman has always been willing to advocate that which will be conducive to the upbuilding of Elon, the college, in which he has taught during the greater part of his life. His lectures were uplifting, broad in their scope, and spiritual in their purpose. Illus trations, drawn from many fields, showed that the author had spent a life-time in study and observation. MAROON AND GOLD THE KiMPU/KBT February : —Moncure— Quite inatcliless are her dark brown i i i i; She talks with perfect e e e e e, But when I tell her she is yyyy, She says I am a 1111. —Winchester!— Maroon and Gold Subscriber to Cir culation Manager: Did you get my check for my subscription? “Grandpa” Thompson: Yes, twice; once from you and once from the bank. —Albemarle!— Professor Martin was hearing little Mary Frances’ prayers the other night. This was usually Mrs. Martin’s task, but on that particular night the Pro fessor had insisted that he be allowed to hear them. Mary Frances liad said, “God bless mamma, God bless grandma, and God bless grandpa, God bless kitty, God ^ make me a good little girl. Amen.” Prof. Martin: Aren’t'you going to ask God to make the sun shine to' help daddv’s rheumatism f Little Mary Frances: (bowing her head quickly), Oh, God, make it hot for daddy! —Waverly!— Dr. Brannock: Mr. McAulay, name over some of the alcohols that you are familiar with. Mr. MeAulay: Scotch, Bye, Corn, and numbers of others that were not named. —Suffolk!—^ Pro'f. Martin (in the course of a lecture): I saw Paul Eevere o»ce—in a moving picture show. “Bar Killer”! Boone: Oh, yes; that was the “Birth of a Nation,” wasn’t it? Asheboro!— Martha Esther “Cute” Brookshire: They say a kiss speaks volumes. .Frank “Fatty” Alexander: Let’s §tart a .‘library. —Steeds!— Percy Hudson has condescended to be'a lowly bootblack, having been com felled to shine “Shiek” Thomas’ sho'es oach Sunday'morning. There’s a reri Boni ' .—Dunn!— HIS WAY The Lord Christ wanted a tongue one day To speak a message of cheer To a heart that was w^eary and worn and sad, And weighed with a mighty fear. He asked me for mine, but ’twas busr quite With my oTV'n affairs from morn tin night. The Lord Jesus wanted a hand one day To do a loving deed; He wanted two feet on an errand for him To run with gladsome speed. But I had need of my own that day; To his gentle beseeching I answered “ Nay! ■” So all that day I used my tongne, My hands, and my feet as I chose; T said sonic hasty, bitter words That hurt one heart, God knows. I busied my hands with worthless play, And my wilful feet went a crooked way. And the dear Lord Christ—was bis work undone For lack of a willing heart? Only through men does he speak to meD! Dumb must he be apart! I do not know, but T. wish today I had let the Lord Christ have his way. • —Alice L. Nichols. fas**., -• s A Mctrvel of National Defense From this 2M-acre deck, Uncle Sam’s battle planes can now leap into action—sure of a landing place on their return, though a thousand miles from shore. This marvel of national defense was accomplished—and duplicated —when the airplane carrier, U.S.S. Saratoga, and her sister ship, U.S.S. Lexington, were completely electrified. In each, four General Electric turbine-generators deliver, combined, 180,000 horsepower to the propellers—enough to drive the ship at 33 knots (39 miles an hour) —enough to furnish light and power for a city of half a million people. The design and construction of the electric equipment for the U. S. S. Saratoga and the U.S.S. Lexington, to which college-trained men con tributed in great measure, exemplify the part General Electric plays in promoting the v/elfare of the nation. 6-24DH ELECTRIC ant. Schenectady. new vorK
