Dr. Anscombe Is
Speaker at Vespers
“The One Thing Needful,” I
Subject of Enlightening
Talk
The Vesper Service for Sundaj
evening November !iO, was lield in
tlie recreation room of Louisa Bit
ting Building. Tlie evenings pro
gram was opened with a “Prelude,”
))iano solo by Tommyc Frye. The
opening sentence was sung bv the
Vesper Choir. “Noell” was ‘ su
by the audience, and this was f
lowed by tlie Invocation by Frani
Caldwell, who presided over t
meeting. The Seri))tnre lieuding,
selection from the iilst Cli.ipter
Matthew, was given by Anna Pr(
ton and the choir then sang the a
them “Hosanna.” These two selc
tions and the talk which followf
all carried out the theme of the (!ve
ing’s program.
Dr. Francis Anscombe of the C(
lege Faculty spoke on “The Ont
Thing Ncedfid.” Dr. Anscombe
quoted from the 10th Chapter o
I.uke which contains the familia:
story of Martha and Mary. Martha
worked at preparaing a meal while
Mary sat at the Savior’s feet,
listened to Him. Martha complained
to the Lord, that she had to do all
the work while Mary did nothing.
Christ replied, “One tiling is needful
and Mary hath chosen that good part
which shall not be taken from he
Mary was conscious of her need and
was finding fulfillment in the wordi
of Olirist. The one thing needful i:
that we shoidd learn of Christ. No
matter what interpretation we put
on the Scripture, it is indisputable
that we should know Christ. Sup
pose we knew everything that a uni
versity has to offer us, and did no
know Cjirist; suppose we had all the
riches of the world and did not
know' Christ; if we had all our our
heart’s desires, if we had all social
accomplishments, and did not know
Christ? What would it benefit us?
How shall we know tlie way to
find Christ? Mary shows us the
way. She sat quitely at the feet of
■Jesus and was willing to be taught.
The student of Christ must have a
receptive mind, must challenge the
best, and must be interested only in
obtaining a true knowledge of the

“The Mouse Trap”
Presented By Pierrettes
Well Known Play Is Ably
Handled by an Ex
cellent Cast
On Saturday evening, November
29, the Pierette Players appeared
in tlie second of their series of per
formances. At this time they pre
sented “The Mouse Trap” by W. D.
Howells, directed bv I.uev' Martin
Currie.

peech that her fiance, Mr
ipbell, has made before the legis
lative board against woman suffrage
■onteiids that it was an insull
mankind, and u])held that hci
just as brave and strong as liis.
He finally agrees that she i.s right,
h‘ doing so he pr(;tends to .see
Mrs. Summers immediate-
into hysterics, climbs upon
and refuses to budge. Wliih
she is in this position the maid an
nounees the arrival of her friends
At the mere mention of tlie word
“mouse,” the maid and all the
friends make wild dashes for cli
and tables, while Mr. Campbell looks
on in alarm and perhaps disgust. All
the ladies scream and act as
were a matter of life and death-
fusing to even so much as set foot
on the floor until they have seen tlie
mouse leave the room. After much
plotting a plan is conceived by which
they all dash madly from the room,
screaming, while Mr. Campbell beats
the floor with a shovel.
Upon hearing the real truth about
the trick Mrs. Summers is highly
insulted and threatens to break her
engagement. In the end, however,
everything is forgiven and forgotten.
Minnie Hicks is to be congratu
lated on her excellent protrayal of
Summers. She was ably sup
ported by N.ancy Miller

There are really only two things

Work that we can do, a knowledge of

“Tlie meek shall inherit the earth.”
Ruskin said, “The time shall come
when the work of the humble hand
maiden of the Lord will be appre
ciated.” That time may be far off,
but it will come, and if we sit at the
feet of the Saviour, waiting and
learning of Him, we shall be ready.
At the conclusion of Dr. Ans-
combe’s splendid talk, “O I.ittle
Town of Bethlehem,” was sung, and
this was followed by the benediction
and a choral amen.

rging Continent.” No other
country has developed as rapidly
and as well as Africa. Not so long
ago, the section, which is now the
Belgian Congo, was uncivilized and
arked on maps by the word,
“Unexplored.”
Years ago, people had the idea
that the Belgian Congo was the hot-
place on earth. This idea is en-
ly wrong. Mr. Craig said that
he found Winston-Salem hotter at
this summer than he had ever
found the Belgian Congo. The main
difficulty is that the heat is continued
and there is scarcely any relief.
Years ago, Africa was described as
a country in which the very trees
dripped with snakes. To the con
trary, snakes are not too prevalent
and sehlom do they cause alarm or
Africa, geographically speaking,
is a beautiful country of rolling hills.
The forests and plains are equally
divided. In the forest the trees are
often; so thick that one can not
while several hours
travel will bring one to an immense
plain, on which there is no trees and
scant vegetation. The Congo River
and its tributaries are particularly
beautiful and there is no trip more
inspiring, unless it is a trip up the
Saint L.'iwrence River and through
the Thousand Islands.
Africa is as rich in resources as
e is in scenic beauty. She has
great deposits of copper and her
mines are rapidly developing. The
Radium deposits in Africa are the
best in existence. Through the
extensive operation of these
mines, the price of radium
has been reduced about fifty
per cent. Africa is also noted for
her diamond mining. In order to
keep the value of the diamond rather
high, the mines release only as
many diamonds as the market de
mands. At present there are enough
diamonds mined to supply markets
for the next fifty or sixty years.
However, the greatest charm of
Africa is her people. They are, in
reality, lovely, charming and love
able. Never does one find isolated
homes. They settle in villages of
about fifty or a hundrd houses. The
houses, for the most part, consist
of one room. They are made of
lattice-work frames, filled with mud
and thatched with grass. These huts
soom become infested with snakes,
lizards and rats, but this seems to
trouble the native none at all.
The African is very simple in his
tastes. He thinks the foreigner
very foolish because of his elaborate
food demands. All the native asks
for is something that is bulky and
will make him realize that he has
eaten. For this the native uses a
which grows similiarly to our
o. It is dug, soaked in water
imove the bark which is very
poisonous. Then it is pounded into
a white flour which is at least 85 to
90 per cent starch. He also eats
salads of green vegetables, especial
ly the tops of common field peas.
The African does not eat as much
L‘at as we. He is particularly
fond of chicken and goat, but as
these are rare, he resorts to the more
common foods, such as stewed snakes
and fried catterpillars. The dessert
