SCHOOL OF MISSIONS
OPENS WITH ADDRESS
GIVEN BY DR. RUSSELL
Classes in Christian Work to
Convene Each Sunday
Night For 6 Weeks
SEVEN SUBJECTS TAUGHT
Large Number of College Students En
rolled—Center Section Stands Atop
One Hundred Percent
The Annual School of Missions of
Guilford College opened last Sunday
with an enrollment of nearly 200 mem
bers, the largest since the founding of
the mission school. After a 45 minute
class period the entire group gathered
in the main auditorium to hear an ad
dress by Dr. Elbert Russel of Duke Uni
versity. Dr. Russel, fresh from a trip
to Europe and to the Holy Land, told
from first hand knowledge that the Mos
lems and the Mohammedans do not
want the Christian religion because the
Christianity that they see is 110 better
than their own religion. They think
of Christianity as being a religion
which advances selfish interests and
militarism such as the religion of
Europe, and our greatest task says Mr.
Russel is to act in such a manner that
these countries will have confidence in
our religion.
Considerable interest was manifested
in the mission school during registra
tion. There are many college students
who are members, and Center section
of Cox hall dormitory tops the list with
a one hundred percent membership.
The school proper began with eight
classes, which began at 7:00 o'clock and
lasted until eight. Dr. Elwood C. *Peri
sho began his discussion on the great
problems that are facing America today.
Prof. Hill Turner took up the first
chapter in the text "Moslem Women,"
but his class will be featured by ad
dresses by Mr. Turner who has recently
returned from the Holy Land. The
other classes follow: "Stewardship" Pro
fessor H. T. Tinsley; "Quaker History"
Professor Samuel Haworth; Teacher
Training, Helen Binford; Quaker Mis
sions, Miss Ida Millis; Friends and the
Clash of Color, Joseph Peele; Mrs.
Peele and Wilmer Steele have charge of
the Juniors and Intermediates.
CHRISTIAN EDUCATION IS
DISCUSSED BY TINSLEY
An Outlet For Man's Desires Provided
For by God Who Helps Man in
Orderly Ways
FAITH A VERY NECESSARY PART
Prof. H. T. Tinsley spoke in chapel
last Tuesday morning on "Elements of
Christian Education."
The first principle discussed by Mr.
Tinsley was salvation and what we need
to do to be saved. "We need to be
saved from the things that are keeping
us from becoming Christians," says C.
D. Warner. "The fundamental things
in Christian education are: Propitia
tion ; purification from inherited taint
by baptism; attachment to a divine Sa
vior; aesthetic discipline; Buddhism, an
exponent of Christian education that
gives one a knowledge of his condition;
and securing divine approval by right
eousness," said the speaker.
The present tendency in Christian
Education is to prevent wrong-doing.
Punishment only makes one's conditions
worse, and the wrong doer needs to be
reformed.
Christian education provides an out
let for man's desire to talk with God
In Christian thinking there is no ob

RECEPTIONIS GIVEN
BYTHECOLEMANS
The Greensboro Country Club a
Scene of Artistic Dec
orations
MANY GUESTS PRESENT
Many of the Guilford College stu
dents attended the wedding reception
given at the Greensboro country club,
January 31, by Mrs. Jesse McCracken
for her daughter and son-in-law, Pro
fessor and Mrs. P. Evans Coleman, who
were married on January 3. The eve
ning was a most enjoyable one. The
club room was artistically decorated
with palms and white roses.
There were several musical numbers
during the evening, given by the Col
lege quartette, Mrs. N. H. Stanley and
Grady Miller of Greensboro. Mrs. Stan
ley and Mr. Miller concluded the musi
cal program with a duet, "Song of
Love" from "Blossom Time." Sand
wiches, tea and punch were served to
the guests.
During the evening some few hundred
guests called to congratulate Mr. and
Mrs. Coleman, including friends from
the College and prominent business peo
ple of Greensboro.
BINFORD READS PARTS
FROM CHILDREN'S BIBLE
People of the Present, Fearful of Their
Incapability, Are Not Willing
to Be Classed Holy
RIGHTEOUSNESS PRECEDES FAME
"True greatness is always moral,
never entirely material," said Dr. Ray
mond Binford in chapel here last Mon
day morning.
He read from "The Children's Bible"
the experiences of Isaiah in the year
when Uzziah died. 111 that day Isaiah
saw a vision of a mighty ruler, sitting
on a high and lofty throne, who told
him not to be afraid because of his
youth, but to put his trust in God and
have 110 fear.
Turning to the New Testament he
read of how Christ came from Nazareth
into Galilee and was baptized of John,
then of the temptation which followed,
based on the fundamental question,
"Am I the Son of God?"
Coming down to the present day Dr.
Binford said, "In every day life there
comes the question, am I good enough
to do the great things? Frequently we
are not willing to be recognized among
the holy and excuse ourselves by say
ing that we are not capable." In con
clusion he said, "There can be no great
ness not recognized 011 the principles of
righteousness."
The faculty and students are asked to
suggest books for the library to pur
chase in the next order. Later, if they
are not eliminated by censorship or
lack of funds, the coveted books will
appear in the library.
GUILFORD COLLEGE, N. C., FEBRUARY 9, 1927
QUAKER QUINT RELIES
ON MORAL VICTORIES
808 DOAK'S BASKETEERS
LOSE SOME HOT GAMES
Are Defeated by Elon, Wake-Forest,
A. C. C., Greensboro Y in Some
Mediocre Games Here
ARE INTERESTING BUT TRAGIC
In a hotly contested game here Sat
urday night, Guilford was defeated by
her ancient rival, Elon by the score of
37 to 22. It was Elon's game from the
first for they took a comfortable lead
which Guilford was never able to over
come.
The Elon quint presented a passing
attack which bewildered the Quakers
for more than two-thirds of the game.
They shot with unerring aim and in
all presented a well balanced team.
On the other hand Guilford got off to
a slow start and made numerous fum
bles which robbed them of the posses
sion of the ball many times. They ex
perienced different difficulty in piercing
the Elon team's defense and took a
great many long shots. Relatively
speaking, the Quakers shot long shots
much better than they did crip shots.
Newman was high scorer for Elon.
Bock and Kelly's floor work and passing
was very good. For Guilford, Moore
and Coltrane starred, Coltrane being
high scorer with ten points.
Lineup:
Guilford Elon
Pamperin 7 Newman 13
Van de Voort 3 Bock 16
Moore Simms 6
Coltrane(C) 10 Kelly 1
Coble 2 Crutchfield 2
Subs. Ayers, Yelverton, Coble.
OAK RIDGE LOSES
Saturday night the Guilford reserves
journeyed over to Oak Ridge and were
defeated 38 to 18. The Oak Ridge team
was a well balanced organization while
Guilford exhibited poor team work at
times. Guilford had an unusual off
night in shooting missing shots of all
kinds from all angles.
Pierce was high scorer for Oak Ridge.
Marshall and Ayers probably played
best for Guilford.
Lineup:
Guilford Oak Ridge
Pamperin Ferrell
Griffin Abernathy

RECONCILIATION TOPIC

Urges Students to Take a Greater Inter

of War
UNITED SOCIETY THE SOLUTION
George L. Collins, traveling secretary
for the Fellowship of Reconciliation or
ganization, spoke to the Guilford Col
lege students recently urging them
to take an active part in the move to
keep countries out of war and to create
a more friendly attitude between na
tions. The Fellowship of Reconciliation
is a group of men and women of many
races, nations, and classes who recognize
the oneness of the world-wide human
family. Mr. Collins made it clear that
if we wish to live in this true unity
and find out more and more about what
it should mean, we shall have to put
away war and the spirit of enmity,
seeking to know instead the spirit of
love that draws men together, in spite of

COACH ROBERT IS HAPPY
AFTER WHITE OAK Y WIN
Long Losing Streak Is Broken by Vic
tory Over Fast Y Team From
Greensboro Suburb
RESERVES LOSE TO OAK RIDGE
Thursday night the Guilford team
snapped out of their slump and over
whelmed White Oak Y. M. C. A. in a
full scoring contest. The Guilford
team put up a real passing game and
shot crips seemingly at will.
Practically all of Guilford's goals
were crip shots, few long ones being
attempted. Guilford made numerous
substitutions who kept up the scoring.
The Y team, excelled in long shots,
played a very good game. Moore and
Pamperin tied for high scoring honors
with Griffin a close second.
Hughes and Johnson played best for
White Oak.
Lineup:
Guilford White Oak
Griffin 10 Hughes 9
Pamperin 12 Wyrick 3
Moore 12 Stout 5
Tew 4 Johnson 9
Yelverton 3 Turner 5
Sub. G. Marshall (2) Whisnant, Van
der Yoort (2) Ayers (2) White Oak,
Woodward (1).
A. C. C. WINS
Last Monday night the Guilford
basketeers lost a hard fought game to
A. C. C. by the score of 39 to 25.
The game started off slowly with A.
C. C. scoring first. The game ran along
smoothly the first half, but any hopes
Guilford had of winning were soon
blasted after the beginning of the
second half for the A. C. C. team scored
crip shot after crip shot. Fulghum was
high scorer for A. C. C. with 14 points.
Pamperin was high scorer for Guilford
with eight points.
Lineup:
Guilford A. C. C.

Tew 1 Fulghum 14
Sub. Griffin, Smith (5), Yelverton. A.
C. C. Whitley (2), Jones, Brinkley.
WAKE FOREST WINS
Wake Forest, probably state cham
pions, hit Guilford Tuesday night and
in their usual fashion snowed the Guil
ford team under. The visitors pre
sented one of the smoothest and the
best line passing attacks ever seen here.
Combining this with their shooting abil
ity they soon piled up a score which
assured them of victory. The younger,
lighter and less experienced team of
Guilford fought hard but were not able
to cope with Wake Forest. In the sec
ond half Wake Forest substituted their
second team and it was while this team
was in the game that Guilford scored
most.
The shooting of James and Dowton
coupled with the passing of the entire
team featured for Wake Forest. Moore
and Coltrane starred for Guilford, get
ting 8 and 7 points respectively.
Lineup:
Guilford Wake Forest
Pamperin 4 Dowton 10
Smith James 13
Moore 8 Emerson 4

Definite Announcement Later
By the time this copy of the Guil
fordian is off the press, most of the
copy of the Quaker will be in the hands
of the Queen City Printing 1 Company.
Most of the photographic work has
been returned by the photographer and
the class sections have been made out.
All Seniors and Juniors paid their cut
fees by the specified time but a few
Sophomores and Freshmen neglected to
attend to the matter and will not be
included in the class section pictures.
The proofs for the page border de
sign, the fly leaf design and the ex-libris
design were received last week and have
been the center of some enthusiastic
discussion since then. The page border
will be printed in gray on each page
of the Annual. At the top is a design
embodying two Quaker silhouettes and
the name of the book and year. A
plain column effect will go down both
sides of the page and join the base. In
the base is a picture of the old New
Garden Meeting House. The fly leaves
will have two Quaker silhouettes in
gray relief on a background of home
spun effect. The ex libris is a small
reproduction of the famous Quaker pic
ture "The Presence in the Midst."
The editors have been working well
into the wee hours of the night for the
past week getting the copy ready to
go to Charlotte on Tuesday. On this
date a representative of the Printing
Company will eome up to interview the
staff and straighten out some minor de
tails.
Financially the Quaker seems to be on
the path to success and unless some un
forseen thing arises to make it inadvis
able the price of the book may be re
duced from $5.00 to $4.00. This news
will be received with a great deal of
pleasure by many who have not already
paid their subscription. A few have
already paid the entire $5.00 and these
will have a reimbursement. Definite
announcement on the matter will be
made at an early date.
