THE SALEMITE
Saturday, March 7, 1931.
“Peter Ibbetson,” Deems Tay
lor’s new opera has marked an
lap in the course of the American
opera by ending the depreciativ
mentation of tihe critics that
stage composers lack a sense of the
theatre.
Messrs. Johnson, Tibbet and Miss
Bori took thirty-six curtain calls,
unusual demonstration from a pres
ent-day audience. In the calm that
followed its tumultous recepti
music critics have termed it a
warming of such classical successes
as “Tristan” and “Parsifal” and
liave heard in it reflections of Wag
ner, Debussy and Strauss. However,
the story by Du Maurier is excel
lent and since his audience welcomes
“Peter Ibbetson,” Taylor
completely happy person.”
When General Smedley Butler
committed himself, in supposed pri
vacy, on the subject of the Mussolini
hit-and-run story, gossip has it that
a bootlegging enemy whose business
Butler had ruined in “drying up”
Philadelphia, complained of the
slander of II Duee to the Italian
Consul. International Complica
tions grew from a bootleggc
venge. Italy demanded an apology;
Butler refused to apologize and
therefore, court-martialled. Ar
definite apology was finally
posed by diplomatic minds and the
matter was quickly dropped. The
sentence given by our comic-opera
court-martial amounted to “to be
slapped on the wrist at sunrise.”
After four years in Nicaragua the
American government is withdraw
ing with no results, except that
forty-two of the six thousand
rines which were sent there will
cr return. Augustine Sandino and
his band, who are characterized by
those who favor intervention a;
“bandits” and as “virtuous citizens’
by those who do not, still go free.
Sandino has issuec^ a dictum de
claring that he is willing to destroy
Nicaragua in order to save it from
“Yankee intervention and adherence
to liated Yankee dictates.”
Gandlii, the little nationalist lead
er of India, is happy over his suc
cess in bringing the powerful British
Empire to terms. Viceroy Lord Irv:
has conceded to the Indians one (
Gandhi’s principal requests, the right
to break the government monoply
salt by making their own. This peace
conference at New Delhi has brought
quiet to India after a harassing year
of civic disobedience.

Salem Students Give
Delightful Concert
First Appearance of Glee Club
Is Enthusiastically Received
Before a representative and ap
preciative audience of music-loi
the advance students of the Salem
School of Music rendered a varied
program of piano, vocal, violin and
organ music in a concert last Mon
day night.
'I’lic program was initiated by the
Salem College Glee Club directed by
Ernest Leslie Schofield. As in last
year's performance t)ie glee club
showed excellent coaching in artistic
ensemble, achieving delightful con
trasts in dynamics and color. The
tone was at all times clear, fresh and
judiciously balanced.
Both in the instrumental and vocal
numbers there was evidence of a
real artistic conception of the rich
beauty and fine spirit of old and
modern writers. The interpretations
were given with a skill of technique
and finish which made the concert
tlie outstanding feature on the pro
gram of the School of Music for the
entire year.
WORLD STUDENT CHRIS
TIAN FEDERATION
Since membership in) our local
Y. W. C. A. affiliates us with the
W. S. C. F., it should be a matter of
interest to every student to be ac
quainted with some of the work of
the Federation, and a brief general
survey will convince us of the tre
mendous worthwhileness of its mis
sion. The budget of the Federation
provides , for secretaries among Rus
sian students outside RiUssia, foir
students in Bulgaria, Roumania,
among Indian and Chinese students
in Europe, and for students in many
other countries where there i:
other Christian organization to fill
the need.
To bring about a feeling of fellow
ship among students on the
sides of the Atlantic, the Federation
has organized a European-American
Commission with proportionate rep
resentation from the two continents.
It has also organized a conference
for the students of the Pacific
in which will be included students
from China, Japan, Korea, the Phil
ippines, Australia, New Zealand,
Canada, and the United States. In
this way the federation will be a
medium for helpful exchange of ideas
between the nations which confront
each other around the Pacific. A
quotation from Mr. Francis P. Mill
er, the world Chairman of the Feder
ation reads, “The dominant organiza
tional expressions of Christianity are
sectarian or national, but the dom
inant forces which are moulding oui
civilization are world forces^ and the
problems which they have created
are world problems.”
No student group wishes to be left
out when there is opportunity t(
have a share in something which is
worthwhile, comprehensive, and sin
cere in its endeavor to carry out the
fraternal implications of the teach
ings of Jesus. Salem College will
have its chance to participate in the
work of the Federation this week,
when each student will have an op
portunity to give something to W.
S. C. F. It need not be a large gift,
need it be a gift at all if your
heart is not interested, but here is
an occasion when we can show that
we are interested in other students,
in their problems and needs, and that
we have that Christian love in our
hearts which will impel us to share
have in an eifort to help and
understand those who are our broth-
and sisters both as students and
Christians.
Dr. S. D. Gordon Is
Heard At Vespers
Distinguished Speaker and
Author Brings Helpful
Message to Students
The Vesper Service of Sunday
March 1, consisted of an unusually
Interesting program^; The Service
began with a prelude, “Serenade,”
by Sinding, played by Mary Absher.
The Scripture, Matthew vi 5:15 was
read by Anna Preston. This was fol
lowed by a solo' “Great Peace Have
They,” sung by Millieent Ward.
The main feature of the evening
was a talk entitled “God’s Afterglow
Through Prayer,” by Dr. S. D.
Gordon. Dr. Gordon began his talk
by the statement that the indirect
is the most powerful; and to verify
his statement, the speaker gave
various striking proofs. The Heart
of the life of the world is literature
is the Bible. The Heart of this
great book is the New Testament.
The Old Testament tells of promises;
while the New Testament tells of a
person and fulfillment. In the Old
Testament, there is the prophecy
tliat someone is coming; in the New
Testament, there is the actual ful
fillment of this prophecy.
In the New Testament, there is
the personal touch, the insight, and
interest which is lacking in the Old
Testament. The inner heart of the
New Testament is John’s Gospel.
It was John who lived more inti
mately with Jesus and Jesus loved
him well. He, who was closest,
brings us closest. The inner heart
of John’s Gospel is Chapters 13 and
17. In Chapter 13, Jesus and his
disciples are seated at a table talk
ing; in Chapter 14, they are still
talking; in Chapter 15, Jesus says,
the real vine and my Father,
le gardener.” Chapter 1
the shadow Chapter.
Chapter 17 is the innermost Heart,
“The Heart of the Heart.” In this
selection, Jesus looks up to the Fath-
Verse 10, “And they are the
T heart of mankind” gives us a
definition, especially innei
Peace is inward and power is its
outward sign. Peace among mankind
envolves itself into this “All that
mine is thine, and thine is mine
This is the spirit of giving and taking
which was the core of Jesus’ life.
“Give all—Take all” as the guides
should be our purpose; for in doing
this, we find new riches, new v
and hidden wealth and this is what
is appropriately called “God’s Af
terglow.”

Incited by religious agitation, the
natives of Corregidor Island, coast
artillery stronghold in the Pacific,
plotted an American massacre which
was averted only because Major
General John L. Hines, commander
of the Phillippine department, was
warned in time. The matter was im
mediately investigated and there is
now no serious danger if Washington
politicians do not treat the matter of
Philippine independence lightly.
