UDDIES MORRIS TALKS TO Y. W. C. A. OX "CHRISTIAN ENTHUSIASM." Addie Morris chose "Be Filled with the Spirt" as her subject for the prayer meeting service this week. The speaker caught the attention of the girls when she opened the meet ing by saying: "Did you ever see an enthusiastic, zealous person who was wholly bad, wholly undesirable? It is impossi ble not to admire even your bitterest opponent if he is frankly, openly, un flinchingly upholding his honest con victions." Then the leader went on to explain how one's attitude either inspires ridicule or respect and how much more one is admired as an earnest enthusiastic Christian than an indif ferent lukewarm so-called Christian. The word enthusiasm itself means "God in Us." "Dr. Lyman Abbot," she continu ed, "says that religion with some peo ple is like a compartment in a great house instead of being the sunshine light and warmth pervading and sweetening every room in the whole house." The leader concluded by saying "the spirit-filled Christians are those whose inmost lives have been stirred by the principles of Christ and their Christian enthusiasm wells up and overflows from their hearts and en ter life's commonplaces. Theirs is the only life modeled after Christ, the perfect example of the Scriptural in junction 'Be ye filled with the spir it.' " This was one of the best talks the Y. W. C. A. has heard this year. UNCLE MUNN'S CORNER. (Editor's Note —We must confess that Uncle Munn's second contribu tion is disappointing. He is either taking a slap at the heating system or at those who are always kicking against the temperature. As the sys tem works very well and as the indi viduals mentioned below are among the most uncomplaining in college, neither of these hypotheses can be correct. His remarks, accordingly, must be of a deeply symbolical na ture.) I met Fitzgerald on the path, his face was stern and dark with wrath. I said, why Fitz what ails you so. He said, "In Cox its ten below." I met Joe Reddick after that with sad ness written 'neath his hat. He said "In Archdale's sunny halls it's hot enough to roast a cat." I met Miss Gray upon the way as gloomy as a stack of hay. She said, "In Foun ders chilly airs the icicles hang every wheres." I met Miss Speas among the trees as mournful as a piece of cheese. She said, "In dear New Gar den Hall they've scorched the paper on the wall." I met the dean upon the green. His frown was awful to be seen. "It is so cold in Mem," he said, "the Latin verbs are nearly dead." I met Prof. John upon the lawn . He sadly moaned and said "Doggone, In King it's hots enough to cook the dates in Cheyne's history book." I met Bill Nelson sad and wan, his happy smile was almost gone. THE GUILFORDIAN THE WEBSTERIAXS Have Excellent Program Receive Invitation from Zatasians. The Websterian Literary Society held an enthusiastic meeting Friday night. After the usual opening, upon motion to turn to miscellaneous busi ness, Prof. Woosley gave a talk: on the prospect of an intercollegiate de bate. The entire Society seemed fav orably inclined and it seems very probable that Guilford will be able to enter into intercollegiate debating this year. The literary program was excel lently carried out. Both sides of the question, Resolved, That parliamen tary form of government is better adapted to the needs of a progressive nation than the presidential form, were well handled. Messrs. S. Smith and Hamilton, of the affirmative, ad vanced excellent argument, showing the wonderful success of parliamen tary government in developing a true democracy. Messrs. Hinshaw and Bowman upheld the negative with excellent delivery and sound argu ments. They explained the workings of our own government and that of France showing the superiority of our methods to those of England and denouncing absolute democracy as impossible. An amusing extemporaneous de bate on the question: Resolved, that it is better for us to entertain the girls than to have them entertain us, was debated between Messrs. Yow, on the affirmative, and Reddick on the negative. This closed the pro gram. The decision of the judges was in favor of the negative in both debates. The following invitation was re ceived from the Zatasian Literary So ciety: Next Friday night at seven p. m. Get ready ere it be too late, And come along with us to Mem. And there you'll learn your fate. For on this night the ghosts will walk. Goblins bold, black and white, And with the dead these creatures talk, Won't you come, listen on that night? BERNICE PIKE, Sec'y of Zatasian Literary Society. The invitation was enthusiastically accepted. All the visitors present expressed their appreciation of the program and eight men were received as mem bers of the Society. No other business was brought be fore the Society and after a helpful report from Mr. Beeson, as critic, the Society adjourned. ARCA E BARBER SHOP BENBOW ARCADE.
