We welcome you at all times. Fourth Lenten Service In Wednesday Chapel (Continued from Page One) All of his writings deal with better, cheerful life. In a bright useful Christian life there is no need to think of death. Artists have often painted the apostle John with a weak, effeminate face which gives the impression that though loving and gentle, he lacked force and courage. In reality he was a very vigorous, hearty man with a hot temper that often had to be checked by Christ. At one time when a town of Samaria refused to re ceive Jesus and his desciples, John was exceedingly angry and asked the Lord that they might pray that God would send down fire to destroy the inhabitants. Christ answered that he came not to destroy but to save. John had a hard time overcoming his high-tempered, tempe s t u o u s spirit and attaining a gentle, patient, kindly nature, but hav ing overcome these difficulties he became stronger than if there had been no struggle. The influence of John com menced on the evening before the Savior was betrayed, when the disciples were gathered for the last time around the table. John laid his head on Christ’s bosom, and thus gave the j’Tet^t example of turning to Jesus in times of sorrow and bi^-ter dis appointment. The next picture of John is at the foot of the cross so he might be able to talk to Christ closely. Here he re ceived Jesus’ instructions to csire for Mary as his own mother. He took her to his home and cared for her faithfully for the rest of her life. It is probable that it was at John’s home that Mary gave Luke the actual story of the circumstances surrounding the birth of Christ, which is in cluded in his gospel. John’s life until after Mary’s death was quiet and uneventful. He then moved to Ephesus, where al though ah-eady old, he had charge of the churches in and around the city. The idea then came to him to write out whac he remembered of Christ’s life, and his Gospel has come to be the very heart of the Bible. He next wrote several epistles, bright with the glow of an active, Christian life, telling how one should live to be a disciple of Jesus. When ninety-five years old, he was carried away to the islaiid of Patmos in the Mediterranean Sea. Here he wrote the Book of Revelations, a prose poem, telling of great sins and their results, and also of the safety of those who trust in Jesus no matter how distressed they may be. The Book then tells of the “eternal horizons on the other side” where all troubles and pains pass away. The Book of Revelations is a book of trust Miss Eleanor Wilson Joins Academy Faculty Miss Eleanor Wilson is a recent addition to the Academy Faculty, taking the place in the modern language department of Mrs. Wenhold, who is now at the University of North Carolina, doing graduate work toward a Ph.

Jerome Done into verse by Ruth Marsden Once I thought my health was failing Though I was but slightly ailing. ’Twas hay fever—nothing n And I knew my danger o’er But I still did read and wonder And my health, and—how thunder! Was I dying? This despair Made me then resort to prayer. Typhoid fever,—all the rest; Seemed I had each deadly pest: Cholera, ague, and the gout; Only one had been left out. All I had but housemaid’s knee, Everything from A to Z! Walking hospital was I Ere many moments I should die. I shut my eye, stuck out my tongue, Examined pulse, and heart and lung. I found a doctor, my old friend. And told the tale from start to end. He made a thorough examina tion. But never mentioned operation. “Beefsteak, exercise, and sleep, All you need your life to keep. ‘And never trouble trouble” said he ‘Till trouble troubles you and What did you do when the baby fell down the back stairs? I just threw two jelly glasses down so he could watch some ■eal tumblers do it. and victory. Bishop Rondthaler related several incidents of the apostle’s active church work. On one oc casion he became very much interested in a young man who had become a Christian, and hen he went away, he left the young man in the care of a bishop. VV^en he returned and asked after the young convert, the bishop said that he had be- 3 a robber. The apostle, in spite of his old age, went out into the mountains in search of the robber, found him, and dt last persuaded him to repent and become a Christian. Again, in his extreme old age when he was longer able to speak or write, was carried into the sanctu ary and seated in the apostolic chair, and here he would tell the congregation: “Little children, love one another”. These words were all he had strength to say, but this, he declared, was the Lord’s commandment and the most important of all. So in fluential and beloved and revered he that the people could not believe that he would really die. After his death they still de clared that he was only sleep ing. Thus his companionship with Jesus produced the Apostle of life and immortality. The following verses are taken from imitations of Mother Goose Rhymes: a nice “You Drive It” To take myself a ride. I tanked it up and started, My girl propped by my side. I coaxed it, I cranked it, I pulled it like a hack My girl got peeved and left me cold And now I hold the sack. Ellen Peery. There was a man on our street, who had a bright new car. It went as fast as lightning, or like a shooting star. He drove it, he rode it, and step ped upon the gas. And now the car’s in the garage, while he’s a corpse, alas! Ruth Marsden. There was a little city, its name IS Chapel Hill, And every girl of Salem thought often of its rill. ’Twas Monday and Tuesday and every single day. They dreamed of that metro polis not many miles away. Margie Biesel. My daughter went to college Not very long ago. I scarcely know my daughter. For school has changed her so.
