Dr. James Fraser Is Sunday Speaker Dr. James Fraser of Elizabeth,- town, N. Y., was the Sunday morn ing speaker, November 10, at the Elon College Community Church. He spoke concerning Jesus’ idea of man, salvation, and God. He preferenced his remarlis by some of his own experiences with the religion of contemporary students, he has found that young people are more or less indift'erent in re ligion as an experience. I'hey’ve found, according tu Dr. Fraser, that Jesus has been obscured by Christianity, i^ut the idealism of youth and its insistent quest have revealed that in the / religious , realm Jesus is without a peer. “Youth seeks through Jesus His God’consciousness. His freedom from social bondage, His intellec tual bondage, and His unreserved dedication.” Dr. Eraser amply pointed out that over familiarity in religion breeds contempt. The insignificance of man in modern thought was contrasted with the idea of Jesus. Jesus conceived of salvation, according to Dr. Fraser, as a present experience. He point ed to three stories to illustrate this idea. The story of Zaccheaus, the prodigal son, and the good Samaritan. In these stories s9.1va- tion, said Dr. Fraser, is "conceived as interstate, the freeing of the self from all desires lowering and degrading, in the setting of one self upon a plane of aspiration. “Jesus spiritualized the ijather- hood of God and made it the basis of human brotherhood and service to mankind.” Music Clubs To Convene On Nov. 16 Piediiioiit District North Carolina Federation Meets Here N ext Week U. s.
