The editor feels that an apology is due the Faculty of Salem C:ollege,
because of an article printed in the editorial column last week, and she
\oluntarily takes this occasion to express to them her regret over the
matter.
Several articles have, by the consent of the authors, been withdrawn
from the Open Forum column of this w'eck in order that the entire con
troversy may cease.
The appropriateness of Bishop Rondthaler’s return to Y. P. M. was
deeply felt by all who attended the Wednesday Chapel Service. He, of
all others, is most fitted to prepare us for tiie two great days of the
Christian calendar, Christmas and Piaster.
No matter what her creed or her belief, every girl connects with this
beloved leader acts of gentleness and of kindness. No matter whether
or not her church observes strictly the Lenten season, no girl can fail to
be bencfitted by the talks which Bishoj) Rondthaler has made and will
make during these next few weeks. His interpretation by both words
and deeds of the true significance of this season is one which cannot fail
to make a lasting impression. Under his influence, strife and debate
lose their fiendish power, selfish desires disaj)pear; and there comes a
desire to follow more nearly his example, to make this present season a
time of sacrifice, not of small luxuries to be resumed at the end of forty
days, but of hate, envy, jealousy, of selfishness, so if any of these common
attributes which daily harm those with w'hom we come in contact. T.et
us with Herrick say;
“It is to fast from strife,
I’rom old debate.
And hate;
To circumcise thy life.
'i'o show a heart grief-rent
To starve thy sin,
Not bin;
And that’s to keep thy I>ent.’'
Although it has been many weeks' since .Mr. Stephens from the
Barnardo Home in England brought us the story of “Carrots” and of
the other homeless waifs, he and his W'ords hav’e bv no means been for
gotten. Iheir pathetic story and our corresponding opj)ortunit\' for ser
vice made an appeal so deej) that they cannot sink into forgetfulness.
On next Wednesday a drive, iniatiated not by the V. W. C. A., but
by the College as a whole, will be made, and during the following week
every girl may contribute to the fund any sum she desires.
No words of ours can sufficiently endorse this luovement. None arc
necessary if every girl will recall the sympathy and heart-felt interest
which Mr. Stephens inspired, and if she will give ample proof that his
influence was not a passing one.

HOLDS MARCH MEETING
The r;gular Marcli meeting of
tile Stiidrnt Self-Government Asso-
'ji.?t'n;; was held Monday afternoon
in the r('crcati('ii room of the Alice
Clewell Building. Aftir the roll call
and tlie reading of the minutes of
the i)reeeding meeting Margaret

ness to be transacted. Heretofore

bers and a motion was carried to do

“TO HAVE AND TO HOLD”
PRESENTED SATURDAY
“To Have and 'I’o Hold” was the
picture shown by the MacDowell
Club Saturday Jiight. It was a
grand panorama of life in the earlj'
seventeeth century. 'I'he pomp of
the royal court, the battles of the
early English settlers against the
Indians and the wilderness, and the
strife of the ])irates of the S})anish
Main were all portrayed on a
magnificent scale.
Mr. Vardell at the organ gave an
accompaniment that intensified the
power of the ])ieture. The music,
exquisitely ap))ro])riate to each
scene, was the true interpretation
of the emotions of the audience. It
did not seem an accompaniment but
an integral part of the production.'
The picture and the nmsic were so |
perfectly blended that the listener:
could not distinguish between the:
appeal of the two, yet he realized;
that the half of his enjoyment came
from the music.

I MISS ZOEN KUH ZIEN
SPEAKS AT Y.W.C.A. VESPERS
'I'he Y. W. C. A. vesper service of
which the World Fellowship dejjart-
ment had entire charge and at
wh'ch Miss Zoen Kuh Zien, a native
Chinese girl and a student
Cirecnsboro C’ollege, si>oke last Sun
day night proved to be one of the
most outstanding and inspiring ser
vices held this year. 'Fhe meeting
was opened by the singing of a
hymn after which the Y. W. choir
sang “At Even ’Ere the Sun Was
Set.” 'I'he scripture was read by
Miss Emily Move follow'ing whieli
Miss Smith offered a prayer. Miss
Lois Crowell rendered a beautiful
solo, “Come Unto Him.” Miss
Pauline W’oHf, chairman of the
World r’ellowshij) dei>artment then
introduced Miss Zoen Kuh Zien
who had already become familiar to
many of the girls as “Cherry."
Since the interest of nearly all who
were present was quite naturallv'
centered on China, Miss Zien bega'i
her talk by telling a little of what
the missionaries have done for that
country. 'I'o them is due the praise
for tlie girls now enjoying athletics
and, all in all, a more normal lif-’
since the Cihinese have become such
admirers of their missionaries “bifJ
feet” that the practice of foot bend
ing has gone quite out of style.
Again, they are largely responsible
for the change in the marriage cus
toms, since the girls now' have sonic
choice in the matter whereas it was
arranged formerly by their families
and they never even saw thei^
bethrothed until the day of the
actual marriage. Perhaps the great
est thing, however, that they have
done for China has been along the
line of education. Befqre mission
aries went to China, only the boV
received any education to speak of,
the girls being trained only alonji
domestic lines. Now there are
schools for the girls as well as the
boys and China too is coming to the
realization that her women are
cajiablc of far more than she ever
dreamed.
Fellowshij) is a vast subjeet
bounded only by the limits of the
universe; but .Miss Zoen Kuh Zie»
said she loved to think of it as on-'
big family, the members of w'hid'
are never ashamed of one anothct
but only too eager to do what theV
can to liel]) the weaker or more un
fortunate of their number. WitI'
such a spirit existing as a basis o?
international relations—how beauti
ful would be this world! Fellowship
must, however, begin at home. Here
in collcge every day the challenge-
Is the big family feeling to be felt
here.^ That is left to the individual.
The meeting was closed by the V.
W. choir singing “Peace I Leave
With You” as a benediction.
