THE GUILFORDIAN
VOLUME VI.
GUILFORD STUDENTS
ENJOY UNIQUE PROGRAM
Readings by Professos Balderston
and Singing' Conducted by Miss
Bndisill.
Instead of the lecture that the
Guilford College students were ex
pecting on Saturday evening, Octo
ber 18, a unique program consisting
of a collection of readings and songs
was given.
In the first part of the evening
Prof. Balderston entertained the au
dience with a variety of readings.
The first of these was "The Crema
tion of Sam McGhee," by Robert W.
Sewise. Next the spectators were
held spellbound by "The Trials of a
Bachelor." After an indefinite num
ber of fruitless efforts, the bachelor
finally succeeded in sewing on a but
ton, and while the look of triumph
was still on his face discovered to
his utmost horror that the button was
on the wrong side. A collection of
the poems of Vachel Lindsay, "The
Flower of Mending," "Hone Samp
son Boose Among the Gates of Gaza,"
and "Two Old Crows" followed. The
first part of the program was ended
with a poem by Alfred Noyes en
titled "The Barrel Organ."
The remaining portions of the
evening was spent in singing. Under
the capable direction of Prof. Bal
derston and Miss Budisill this fea
ture was one very much enjoyed by
all. Everyone seemed to enter hear
tily into the spirit of the singing.

DR. HOItllS TALKS TO THE Y. M.
C. A. OX STRENGTH.
The speaker said that the glory of
a young man is * is strength. Christ
had for His apostles a good Chris
tian Association. This was one
thing that made His life successful.
He naturally attracted young men.
But the great source of strength is
purity. "Your strength shall be the
strength of ten because your heart
is pure." If we walk in darkness
we cannot see God. Our eyes are
blinded by sin and we cannot see
the truth. We must be strong in
body, mind and spirit. Strong in
mind to know what the truth is.
Strong in spirit to live the truth.
These things must work together in
college. Now is the time to culti
vate helpfulness while we are young.
By doing this we influence others.
If we Jo not love our brother whom
we have seen we cannot love God
whom we have not seen. If we, as
college students, would just put our
heads and hearts together we could
accomplish almost anything. The
welfare of our neighbors should con
cern us and ours should concern
him; so let us put our thoughts on
eternal things and pull together.

Y. W. C. A. NOTES
Mrs. Annie Williams Talks 011 Chris-
tian Social Service
In the Y. W. C. A. prayer meeting
last Thursday Mrs. Annie Williams
gave a beautiful talk on Social Ser
vice Work. She said that there
were two kinds of social service
work—the kind that reforms and
the kind that constructs. The con-
structive work forms character, and
if more attention is paid to this
there will not be so much need for
reform. As "prevention is better
than cure" in the physical world, it
is just as true in the spiritual world.
Social work of the church is or
ganized kindness of the church. If
we would do service we must get
into our being the thought of Jesus.
We must not limit our service to cer
tain classes, but do good to all men.
Look upon the world, for the world
is the field—every people, every
country, every individual. Jesus
took all in, and He wishes us to give
to all our best training and talents.
The Christian worker must show
interest in health, economic life and
pleasures. He must demonstrate
that Christianity will meet all mod
ern problems. One can find fields
for service without going to the
slums. God does not wish all to go
to the same place to work for Him.
There is work to be done all around
us. Everyone can do some service.
Everyone may have an influence for
good, and be guided by one standard
of purity.
Willingness to work is essential
for the best results, but that is not
the only thing needed. Good health
is important. No one has a right to
do anything that will break down
the sacred temple given by God. En
tire consecration is necessary. Let
Christ be first and al.ways. When we
find Christ as our personal compan
ion, it will be our greatest delight to
put Him first. It is easy to find Him
as our personal companion and Sa
vior. Just be sincere in saying,
"Lord, here am I, take me."
WE 15STERTANS DERATE PHILIP
PINE INDEPENDENCE.
At the regular meeting of Webste
rian Society Fridaj* night the ques
tion of Philippine independence was
ably discussed affirmatively by Line
berry and Harris, negatively by Rai
ford and Raleigh Tremaine, who
won the judge's decision. The af
firmative pleaded for the independ
ence of these islands under the de
clared principle of President Wilsm
and his colleagues.
The negatives, however, succeeded
in showing that the Filipinos were
not far enough advanced in educa
tion and industry to be left alone as
yet to the struggle with larger na
tions.
The society also enjoyed as an op
tional an interesting discussion of
the life of Andrew Carnegie given
i by Mr. John Dorsett.

LEXINGTON-GUILFORD
GAME CALLED OFF
On Account of Accident to Lexing
ton—Manager Taylor Trying to
Arrange Game With Wofford at
High Point Saturday.
The accident which caused the
postponement of Saturday's game
with the Lexington Athletic Associa
tion gave quite a disappointment to
the second team because they had
been training hard all the week with
the hope of retrieving themselves
for the defeat they had suffered at
the hands of the Lexnigton eleven
at Erlanger field. The Lexington
team all reached here safely except
Zeb Walser and Shorty McCreary,
who were right seriously injured in
a naccident to their car en route
here. The wet roads and a heavy
truck were reported as the cause of
the accident.
The Lexington boys were some
what disappointed, too, but said they
would try to come back Wednesday
afternoon and give us a game. Man
ager Taylor has been corresponding
with Wofford College in regard to a
game with them at High Point next

PHIIiOMATHEANS DISCUSS
ifTTT AND INVENTION
The Philomatheans Friday even
ing had as the theme for their pro
gram "Art and Invention." Much in
terest was manifested in the pro
gram, and much knowledge gained
from hearing the various subjects
discussed.
The first number on the program
was "Present Day Artists," given by
Miss White. Miss White stated that
there were five subjects classed as
fine arts which would be considered
in her discussion, these being sculp
turing, painting, dancing, music and
poetry. Each subject was outlined
and some of the most prominent
persons engaged in each named.
Then a sketch of Raphael's life
and the secret of his success was
,rendered by Miss Hayworth, who
added much to the interest of her
talk by showing representative pic
tures. She included the "Madonna"
and the "Transfiguration" in this
list, stating that these are two of the
twelve of the world's most famous
pictures.
This number was followed by an
article on Modern Inventions by
Miss Okie Raiford. Inventions per
taining to the household were espe
cially stressed, as the society is nat
urally most interested in such sub
jects.
The society was pleased to learn
that one of their new members, Miss
Motley, who gave the last number,
possessed such a sweet voice. They
are looking forward to hearing many
more similar solos.
Following a helpful critic's report
by Miss Edna Raiford society ad
