Bus. Mgr. Isabel Miller, ’28, Circulation Manager The editorial which appeared in the Salemite recently con cerning the use of library books has evidently been an unheeded warning-, for books continue to disappear without being proper ly charged up. This is especially true of books on the reser shelf, and with these books it pai-ticularly unfortunate, h cause they are placed on the i serve shelf to be used' by one two classes alone, and often it is necessary for one person to make a detailed study of or these books when the book is accountably missing. A great deal of trouble ensues, and the person who wilfully and dis honestly took the book is re sponsible for the trouble. Any one who thus selfishly possesses herself of what may be needed by several others is lacking honor and in the first elements of adaptation to organized ciety. stop the class discussion, hurry out to the hall, and fii-mly monish the thoughtless students gathered there. In such cases, and this has happened more than once this year, the class suffers. Nine times out of ten, those engaged in wayside gossip, the very ones who should be catching up on back work, or otherwise studying. Time is precious to those who are really anxious to learn; time is cheap those who are decidedly un certain in their studies. Loiter- in the halls should be pro hibited. The new rule recently passed by the Student Self-Government Association throws upon the individual an even greater sponsibility than was foi-merly hers. She now has the privilege of proving herself honorable and true to the ideals of self-govern ment by reporting herself, with in twenty-four hours of her fraction of the rules, with word of warning from a council member. This added responsi bility and privilege should add to the self-respect of every member of the organization and should make her more eager than ever to attain self-control and real self-government. A member of the Student-Self- Government Association must of necessity have high ideals of school-citizenship, and this greater trust which is placed ever member should bring out more strongly these ideals and should afford them an active interest of a passive existence. We were hoping that it would be unnecessary to call attention to the fact that the hallways of Main Hall are not places for chatting and social gatherings, especially during class hours, but such disturbances have been frequent lately. It seems that during the last week or ten days, students have been thoughtless enough to collect in groups along the hall, and discuss in high tones various subjects which interest them. The walls of Main Hall are not sound-proof, and it must be remembered that talking outside of the classroom is not only distracting to the students who are in class, but also vei-y disconceiting to the in structors. It should not be necessary for the insti-uctor to The first Social Forum meet ing of the year was a decided success and the student body sincere appreciation those responsible for the meet ing and the program. Since the beginning of this organization, there has undoubtedly been a closer relation between off and on-campus students, and a great- degree of .co-operation among all students. This unity of pur pose is an ideal for which to strive, and anything which brings its attainment nearer worth the co-operation of every- EjyeTciniiii Salem Giils Entertained Home Moravian Church By Episcopal Church Entertains Salem Girls Dr. And Mrs. Taylor At Expanded Chapel Service Speak of China Inland Mission and of Capture by Brigands. Dr. and Mrs. Howard Taylor, of the China Inland Mission, the interesting and inspir ing speakers at the extended ;hapel service on Wednesday morning. Dr. Taylor, who the first speaker, told of the be ginning of the mission and of rjome of its history. Sixty years ago’Dr. Taylor’s father, a missionary to China, le home on furlough. While China he had realized the need of a mission in the interior of the country, and during visit home he worked to interest people in starting sucn a The result of his efforts beginning of the China Inland Mission. There were three great diffi culties to be encountered in es tablishing the work. In the first place no white people :ed entrance to the interior of China. The next difficulty w I hat the cost of the enterpr would be very great. The third vas that the right kind of donaries to undertake such a ,vork would be hard to secure. In spite of these great difficul ties, the workers put their faith God, and with His help the China Inland Mission was start- It differs from most work cf its kind in that it belongs to I'.ll the evangelical denomina tions, but asks for money from none of them. It has not, how- Ever, been in debt a single time. At the present time there are twelve thousand white mis-' ionaries and four thousand Chinese helpers who belong to the Mission. In 1887 there was great need or new missionaries. The work- ■rs held a protracted prayer fleeting and fasted for eight days, praying definitely for one hundred new missionaries in the following year and for fifty thousand dollars additional in- in large sums. The prayers answered by the applica tion of six hundred missionaries for service in the Mission ^nd by the reception of fifty thousand dollars from eleven people. This Y. W. C. A. now considers it self in full sway, and feels that it has the interest and support of every girl in the campus. With this thought in mind the program committe has planned the following tentative program schedule which is subject to shange. The committee feels, however, that every “Y” member •ill be interested to know some thing of the work that has been planned for the year, and will want to lend her support. The program is as follcws: October 23—Sophomore meet ing. October 30—^Faculty meeting. November 8—Vespers—Mr Vardell. November 13—“How far does my personality reach Student. November 20—“How far does my personality reach Weaver. November 27—Senior meeting with Thanksgiving program. December 4—Bishop Rond- '.'haler to speak. December 11—Christmas pro gram.

February 19—“From College o Home”. The Sophomore meeting for his week proved to be a great ;5uccess, and what could better "it into a college girl’s life' than the subject of unselfishness, ;houghtfulness and considera- ion for others ? After all, it is the way in which one lives with daily associates that shows what one is, and serves as an in- o one’s character. It has ently been said that selfish- s the root and center of all Then, surely, why should not unselfishness be, if not the center, at least a firm base upon which to build a firm and stead fast Christian character and a useful life? The meeting for next Friday will be conducted by the mem- bers of the faculty. Many of them have already shown their interest and enthusiasm ’ork, and this meeting promises to be one of interest for all. The faculty members have shown their co-operation in this, and let everyone show her appreciation by coming to the next Y. W. C. service. a new experience in the history of that mission or of any_ other mission, because never be- had one hundred mission aries been sent out from one iiission in one year. In closing, Dr. Taylor ummed up the work of the China Inland INIission, saying that there are two hundred and sixty central stations, one thousand nine hundred and twenty-seven out stations, and that six thousand converts are baptised each year. Mrs. Taylor’s talk was about the capture of herself and her husband by the bandits, or brigands, of China. Dr. and Taylor had been visiting the various missions for over three years, and it w'as after one of their last 'visits that the cap ture took place. They were The Young People’s Fellow ship of Saint Paul’s Church entertained at a banquet the Salem girls who are members of the Episcopal church. The tables were decorated in Hal lowe’en colors and similar favors were used. The President of the organization presided. Colo nel Blair of Winston-Salem made a speech and was followed by the State secretary of the Young People’s Fellowship from Charlotte. Dr. Robert E. Grib- bin, pastor of the church, made a short address of welcome, and Elizabeth Shaiw vesponded in behalf of the Salem guests. The following girls from Salem Col lege were present: Elizabeth Shaw, May Hairston, Grace Cox, Lardner McCarty, Charlotte Easton, Elizabeth Andrews, Dorothy Call, Mary Miller Faulk- Anne Hairston, Maude Phillips, Frances Landis, Lina Blanche Halleyburton, Martha Dortch, Susan Luckenback, Rose Frazier, Anna Frances Redfem, Eliza Hill Grimes. nearing a city from which evangelist had come out to meet the visitors. The evangelist had just remarked that the hills were full of brigands that day, making travelling very danger ous, -tt'hen Mrs. Taylor noticed ligures moving about among the trees on a not far distant hill, 'he figures finally disappeared but at the next turn in the road band of brigands rushed fri the woods and sprang upon the missionaries. Though 'aylors told them that they were everybody’s friends, the •igands prepared to carry them back into the hills. Mrs. Taylor determined to be brave in spite of the evident danger, and trusting in God to deliver them, she began to sing Safe in the arms of Jesus”. The leader was astounded that she could sing in the face of such danger, but she told him that God was right there carriage with her and that she as not afraid. The band stopped at the home a poor woman, who was forc ed to prepare supper for them. •\t supper the missionaries said which fascinated the bri extent that they woke Dr. and Mrs. Taylor in the middle of the night to say ;;'race at a midnight feast. After that they always said grace at meals during the stay of the missionaries. Dr. Taylor gradually v/ay into the hearts of the bri- !;'ands, but they were determined to keep him captive until the government allow’ed the bri gands to join the army. Mrs. Taylor was sent down to the city to ask this of the govern ment, but she was unsuccessful. The great love of the brigands for Dr. Taylor made them set him free, and later the govern ment took the brigands into the army. After telling of other interest ing workers in China and of the great field for laborers there, Mrs. Taylor closed with an ap peal that each student give care ful thought to w’here God wants her life to be spent; that each student consider where she '«’ill spend her strength—on the light end of the log which nine people hold up, or on the heavy ’hich one person holds up. Ladies’ Auxiliary and Christian Endeavor Give Party for Salem Moravians. Those who were so fortunate as to be Moravians or regular at tendants at the Home Moravian Church, were delightfully enter tained by the Ladies’ Auxiliary and Christian Endeavor societies of that church, on Tuesday even ing, October 15th, in the base ment of the Rondthaler Me morial Building. The guests arrived about eight o’clock and were received by several of the ladies who acted as hostesses. Each guest received a small comic doll, w'hich might be pinned on the dress or coat, and a cai'd bearing the name and map of a continent. She was then asked to join the group forming around the booth which represented her continent. The booths were very attractively arranged to portray scenes from the life or custom peculiar to the four great continents, Europe, Asia, Africa and America. Each booth was attended by several of the hostesses, dressed in ap propriate costumes. When all of the guests had arrived and the four distinct groups were formed, Jlr. Long of the city Y. M. C. A. took charge of the entertainment. The first thing he did was to ex plain a novel way of introducing everybody to everybody else. ) large rings were formed, inside the other. They then began to move in opposite direc tions, to the accompaniment of music, played by Mrs. J. K. Pfohl. At each pause in the music, the two circles stopped moving and everyone introduced himself to the person opposite. After all were fairly veil ac quainted, the two circles broke up and the four original groups again formed for the re mainder of the evening. number of interesting games were played, including several contests and some amus- stunts. Following the games, the guests were enter tained with music provided by three members of the Moravian Church choir: Miss McAlpine, Miss Wenhold and Mr. Vincent. All these selections were very much appreciated. Refreshments were served in very ingenious and attractive manner. In each booth was placed some food, appropriate to the countries which it represent- America offered delicious punch; Africa displayed heaping plates cf sandwiches; Europe’s table held alluring plates of chocolate cake and macaroons, suggestive of the world-renown- ed efficiency of French cooks; puffed rice candy was Asia’s contribution. The guests served themselves, cafeteria style, pas sing from one table to another. The party broke up about ten ’clock after everybody had spent a most pleasant evening. The Moravian girls appreciate very much the cordial interest by the members of the Home Church and 'W'ill feel more than ever welcome at the regu lar church services.
