Dr. Rondthaler Speaks at Vespers “God’s Afterglow in Naturfe” Is Subject of Talk Dr. Rondthaler was the speaker at Vespers on Sunday evening, April 19. He made a splendid talk on “God’s Afterglow in Nature” in which he said that some people know nothing of art or music. They have eyes that see not and ears that hear not. The writers of the Old Testa ment were keenly sensitive to th« way and will of Jehovah and to the beauty of nature. From the Psalms comes the great passage—“The heav ens declare the glory of God and the firmament showeth His handiwork. Day unto day uttereth speech and night unto night showeth knowl edge.” There must have been a pur pose back of it all. Why did God make nature beautiful? It must be cause He designed that His inter pretation of Himself to man in ma terial things would somewhat give him a sense of His joy. The wonderful thing about nature is its beauty, both on close examina tion and from a distance. Micro scopic search and a distant view is just as alluring. This is not the ac cident of a haphazard process but tliows God s skill, thought^ 1 and interest in man. Nature S' to tell something of the 'Creative power behind it. One can look nature and know that there’s a L ing God back of it all. It may also be a symbol of what is in stort one in the ultimate life. World Events Raleigh: April 22.

Madrid: Alphonso, King of Spain has ab dicated and he and his family are in exile at Marseilles, France. This is the result of the overwhelming victory of the Spanish Republicans on April 22nd when Madrid went Republican. Windsor, N. C.: Judge Francis D. Winston, “Sage of Windsor,” has often said he would “give the shirt off my back” for three aged negroes, one-time slaves, who still claim to “belong” to his family. He hasn’t gone quite that far, but Wednesday the usually neatly dress ed “first citizen” appeared on the streets in his shirt sleeves. Inquiry disclosed that one of the negroes had lost all of his belongings in a fire, and the judge wrapped his own coat around the white-headed darky’s shoulders to protect him from the early morning air. ANNOUNCEMENT The Seniors as their final effort along the dramatic line present to-night April at 8:16, "One Breathless Night.” Cowboys and a million dollars roam around the stage. Red haired heroines and young trustees are equally prevalent. Vanquished professors — you should come to see that phen omenon if nothing else—and little brothers—yes, tjie one with the eyelashes — nearly come to blows. In the lang uage of the posters. Life, Love, Laughter disport upon the stage. Come one, come all. Thoity-fwe cents, ladies and gents. FREE OF CHARGE! In these unemployed times an t nouncement like that makes you anxious to hear more,, and to relievi your anxiety and to help fill up the time you have set aside for fun and food on your Monday time-budget. I’ll tell you more. Dr. Jos. R. Sevier, of Camp Greystone at Hen dersonville, N. C. will be at the Academy on Monday evening at 7:30 to .show a movie full of familiar faces —familiar to those of you who have spent a season or two at Greystone, at any rate, and the “Haven’t I met you somewhere before.^” kind to the rest of you. This is not to be the slide-and-long-jwinded speech kind of an affair in which the lecturer points out places of interest with a yardstick and makes entirely too many comments; it is a real movie of Greystone Camp in action—all sorts of action—eating, hiking, swimming, sleeping out, etc. It is clever and unique. It’s worth the steps you will have to conquer to get to the Acade my, and it will be over before Dot’s recital begins. You’re invited; R. S. V. P. by coming.
