On I'riday evening, December 2,
the Ladies’ Auxiliary and Christian
Endeavor of the Home Moravian
Church entertained the Moravian
girls of both the college and Acad
emy at a party in the recreation
om of the church.
Mr. Harry Long, of the city Y.

and interesting contests were en
joyed. Mrs. Bahnson in a very few
ords welcomed the girls on behalf
of the Ladies’ Auxiliary, and then

No additional colleges in t
general section of the South w
added to the accredited list at
recent December meeting of the
Southern Association of Colleges
and Preparatory Schools held i
Jacksonville, Florida, December 1
to -Ith.
Salem College, for eight years
“Member” of the Southern Assoeii
tion, was represented by President
Rondthaler at the Jaeksonvill
meeting.
The principal activity of thi
meeting centered in the hearing of
rejjorts and studies authorized' by
tlie Association, some of which were
along the follownig lines:
“What is the Actual Cost for
college instruction.?” • This field of
investigation covering all the Ac
credited colleges in tlie United
States, discloses the interesting fact
that actual and efficient eollegt
struetion, tuition only, cannot
presented for less than $250.00 per
year for each student, and in most
eases, including laboratory fees and
laboratory equipment, etc., costs ap
proximately l.'iOO.OO per year for
each student under instruction.
This cost, of course, has nothing
to do witli board and lodging
penses or with infirmary or similar
institutional services. The actual
teaching expense in an Accredited
college approximates $275.00 per
for each student'enrolled,
is probable that out of these
studies a considerable change in pub
lic opinion is due to follow, since
■olleges cannot be expected to fur-
lish education at less than actilal
■ost.
In state su))ported institutions a
leficit is made up by taxation of the
people for the benefit of the students
' ig state education. In non-
iupported institutions,, some
ICC is secured through endow
ments and individual students are
further assisted in eases of actual
■d by scholarship and loan funds

•ent with the meeting of
the Southern Association, one day
devoted to the Convention of
i.ssociation of Women’s Colleges
At Y. P. M, on Wednesday m
ing, December 5, Bishop Rondthal
er gave his first Advent address.
These addresses are peculiarly sig
nificant, since they represent fifty-
one unbroken years of such services
by the Bishop. Mrs. Audrey Clore
LeGrande sang a solo at this time,
“Rejoice Greatly,” from Handel’s
Messiah, which helped to convey the
advent spirit and to make the serv-
Bisliop Rondthaler spoke about
the holy Angels and especially of
the blessings which they brought to
(;lirist. Angels, as so many poets
and painters present them, are not
human creatures. They have no
bodies as liuman beings, but are
minds without bodies, beautiful,
swift in movement and acting with
wonderful' power. In this manner
revealed themselves at the birth
fsus in Bethlehem. A stable was
a strange place for the birth of the
Lord, but it gave an opportunity to
■’le angels because tliey loved
'hrist and had been with him in
leaven through long ages.
Angels also appeared to the wise
len and told them of the birth of
Jesus who was to be Christ the Lord.
Wonderful music was rendered by
choir of heavenly voices after this
message and since then music has
become associated with Christmas in
the minds of Christian people. This
was the first appearance of the an
gels in connection with Christ’s
earthly history, but it was by no
means the last.
All during the life of Jesus, on
earth, angels appeared to comfort
or minister to Him. It was an an
gel that told Joseph to flee to Egypt
with Mary and the child. It was an
angel who appeared before Christ
after the temptations in the wilder
ness and brought food and strength
for His future tasks. In the midst
of Ilis agonies in the garden of
Gethscmane an angel came to him
with a cup of heavenly streng-th to
help Him bear the agonies of the
coming crucifixion.
Bishop Rondthaler spoke of the
angel messengers who accompanied
Jesus all through His earthly min
istry. After His ascension into
Heaven tlie angel’s care was trans
ferred to the disciples.
The duty of angels as the Bishop
ipoke of it, is. to. help ])eo])le when
hey are no longer able to help
themselves. When dangers arise
that cannot be averted, and there is
earthly assistance it is then that
spirits of the angels come to
lister and to fullfill the prophe-
of the Scriptures.

detail two homes on Christmas day,
one of wealth and one of poverty
and told how the faithful dog-

A beautiful .story, “Par Tele

that this order be cancelled and that
money be substituted with which he
