SIX HOME RUNS ON TRIP
Winning a couple from Roa
noke. was about the sum total of
the games that the Quakers turned
in on the credit side of the ledger
from their Virginia trip. Against
this they had marked up defeats
from Washington and Lee, V. M.
1., V. P. I and Lynchburg. How
ever the trip brought out some
good playing from the Guilford
nine, especially from the swatters
who knocked out six bingles that
gave free passes for trips around
the sacks. Hayworth on this
trip got two of the six home runs.
W. and L., B—G. C., 3.
Washington and Lee out hit the
Doak squad 8-15 but got only 4
runs to Guilford's 2. Prior to the
ninth siesta only one single bingle
had been registered for Guilford,
but in this frame Burge singled ;
then Block Smith tapped the
sphere into the unknown for a
trot around the sacks. Ferrell
was on the mound for Guilford.
V. M. I, B—G. C., 4.
The game with the Virginia
Military Institute was marked by
heavy batting of both teams. The
Virginians knocked out nine hits,
eight of which they turned into

ARMENIANS HAVE HIGH
FAITH SAYS DR. EMURION.
Dr. E. K. Emurion, an Arme
nian, who has himself been a pris
oner of the Turks, in his chapel
address of last Thursday to the
students of Guilford college, pre
sented an appealing picture of the
high faith and courage of the Ar
menians and their loyalty to
Christ.
"No other country has under
gone such severe trials on account
of its religion as has Armenia,"
said the speaker. "Get, through
three hundred terrible years of
Turkish rule they have kept their
faith, and maintained their loyal
ty to Christ."
"The shame of the Armenian
massacres and deportations lies
at the door of the so-called Chris
tian nations," said Mr. Emurion,
"and for this reason they must
render an account before the judg
ment seat of God."
Speaking of the deportation of
the Armenians and its effect upon
their religious faith, he said, "My
own heart was bitter against the
Turks, and I was almost ready to
lose ni}' faith in the love and wis
dom of God. When I talked with
my sister, who had undergone
such hardships at the hands of
the Turks, my faith returned, for
she, who had endured these hor
rors, still could say with convic
tion ; 'We asked God to give us
grace to forgiv.e our enemies.'
Our faith in God grew stronger,
for we never realized the presence
of God so keenly as there in the
wilderness."
"This loving good will toward
the cruel enemy," the speaker
further stated, "is disclosed in the
reply of a captive Armenian nurse
to a Turkish soldier, who had
