ONCE MORE!
Perhaps the Alumni column for
this issue could be put to no bet
ter use than to recall to the minds
of the Alumni and Old Students
the Guilford banquet which is to
be held in Greensboro on the 20th.
The announcements of this event
have been sent out some time ago
—ten days to be precise—but the
response at the present writing
has been rather feeble. With the
banquet only a little over a week
off comparatively few have secur
ed their tickets. This does not, of
course, mean that the attendance
will be small; it simply indicates
that action has been deferred.
The indications point toward a
large gathering of Guilfordians.
as quite a number have expressed
themselves as being heartily in
favor of the occasion and prom
ised their presence. Now it would
greatly lessen the work of those
who have the matter in hand if
the Alumni and Old Students
would respond as soon as possible.
It is necessary to know as early
as convenient just how many to
expect so that the arrangement
for the dinner can be completed.
If you have not sent for your tick
et do so at your earliest conveni
ence. Don't postpone it! And re
member that the wives and hus
bands of Guilfordians are all in
vited. A question was recently
asked by one Alumnus as to
whether "futures'' were eligible,
but upon careful consideration
the committee decided that deal
ing in "futures" was both uncer
tain and illegal. Another ques
tion asked was whether Guilford
students who were not members
of the Old Students' Association
were invited. As others may not
understand this it might be perti
nent to say again that all of the
Alumni and all who have ever
been students at Guilford College
or New Garden Boarding School
are invited and that the husbands
and wives of the aforesaid are in
cluded. If you have not received
an announcement it is due to our
possibly incomplete and inaccur
ate mailing list, but do not allow
that to interfere with your com
ing. Get in touch with the prop
er authorities and secure your
ticket.
One other inquiry has come to
us. Is the banquet to be very for
mal and will I have to prepare for
a "stiff dress parade?" That ques
tion can be easily answered. The
banquet is to be informal. A real
ly good time together is the idea.
The spirit of good fellowship and
a perfectly free and easy atmos
phere and attitude are the con
stituents which will make the
evening pleasant and enjoyable to
all.
Just a final word! From the
announcements which have been
sent and the news items which
have been published in the press
of the state as well as as the col
lege paper, it should be clearly
understood that the evening is to
be one of an unusual nature for
all Guilfordians. Not. in recent
years has such a gathering been
scheduled, and the character of
the program is a sure guarantee
for a delightful evening. It is
hoped that every Guilfordian who
possibly can will contribute his
presence and hearty support and
thereby make the occasion one
long to be remembered.
Y. W. C. A. NOTES.
Mabel Edgerton made a talk on
'"Character" at prayer meeting on
Thursday evening. She read the
thirteenth chapter of Corinthians
and from it portrayed in outline
an ideal character. St. Paul
claims that the greatest thing in
the world is ;i person. Personal
ity is both ;i gift and an achieve
ment. and the enduring thing in it
is love. The apostle refrains from
a definition but outlines in a few
striking sentences, as an artist
with a brush the perfect portrait.
First, there is a never failing
patience. "Love suffereth long
and is kind." Second, there are
conditions that oppress and it is
hard to keep a sweet temper in
bitter days. "Love beareth all
things, endureth all things. It is
love's genius to serve and give.
God so loved the world that he
gave his son that all might have
life. Then "Love is kind." Love
believes and hopes for those who
have no faith. "Love liopeth all
things." Where there is love there
is reality. A selfish life, like music
and literature which lack the gift
of love, have a note of unreality.
Again, where there is love there
is beauty, and there is nothing to
compare with a beautiful charac
ter.
The call to character is open to
all. It is the challenge of the cen
turies. "Be a good man," said Sir
Walter Scott to Lockhart. Paul
said "Without love I am nothing."
"Love never faileth" is the mis
sionary appeal. There is no place
too high, no dark place too deep
where love may not reach. The
depth of love has never been
sounded. The portrait of some
friend who has lived or is living a
noble life challenges us to live a
stronger Christian life. Then
practice looking into the face of
Jesus whom having not seen we
love, and we shall be changed into
the same character thru the influ
ence of the spirit of holiness that
is his without measure.
Lola Edwards, as a member of
the Association news committee,
read a very interesting article on
Plain Sewing from the "Month
ly."
Perhaps all former Y. W. C. A.
workers will be glad to know that
we are planning to put an organ
THE GUILFORDIAN
in the Association room in a few
weeks. We are sure that it will
add greatly to the spirit of the
meetings and you who know can
not fail to appreciate this fact.
Miss Ayer Speaks in Chapel.
.Miss Aver spoke at Sunday
morning chapel on reform and re
formers. She said that many re
formers say we should turn back
to the customs of our ancestors,
hut if reform is a slogan let us
turn back to Christ as a reformer.
The great thing that he brought
was the idea of God the Father,
and the true brotherhood of man.
Love in the big family of God
must be manifested, lie who
loves his neighbor is entitled to
the Sonship of (Jod. The sons of
God have divine relationship with
men. Life is so connected that
we can't be inwardly one thing
and outwardly another. Then if
reform is the thing for the age,
let ns each be a reformer and with
the belief that we are the true
sons of God let us spread abroad
the idea of the brotherhood of
man.
