Dr. Faith Gordon will use these three days to give her skill and her experience as a psychia trist, her personality, and her time to | PRESIDENT CARRIES FORTH LONG TRADITION quoted Hebrew often, and spoke Latin least frequently. Does there exist anywhere a record of actual original words as to their exact syllabic utterance where focus the attention of our ear upon the speech of Christ ? Does there ap pear in the Scriptures unchanged the actual syllables which Christ spoke? Ninety-one times through the gospels, especially in Mark there survive words visibly embalmed so that one can al most catch the tonal quality and the pitch of the words as Christ spoke The first two of the words are endearing and discerning nicknames given to James and John jointly in Aramaic village terms, “Son Thunder.” He calls Simon “Ceph; and quickly translates it into Latin “Peter.” When Christ was leaning over Jairus’ daughter, Peter listened intently and caught the actual Aramaic words which He said. Talitha is an endearing word wiiich n dear little maid. Vivid Peter would love to tell the story with the actual impression of those two significant words. Christ, when he was healing the deaf and dumb man, realized that his vocal speech was unintelligible to the nute. Consequently he used gestures. But at the end Jesus says, “Ephpha- ha,” a word which is in itself prob- ibly the most visible word in the lan guage because it uses the teeth, lips, and tongue in its pronunciation. In Gethsemane while Christ was struggling in agony, the disciples, just before they fell asleep, heard Jesus ay out of loneliness and bitterness, ‘Abba,” which is translated, “O my father.” It is a simple childhood vil lage word that came to His lips in His Dst bitter trial. When Christ was suffering on the cross, giving His life for us. He cried out, “Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachtani." March 5. This marks the end of [ ramuiar field and neartn-side con versation,” the Aramaic language, thought he was calling for Elias. After the resurrection Mary was weeping outside the tomb, and seeing Jesus, but believing Him to be the gardener, she asked where they had taken the body. Then Jesus said, “Mary,” and Mary turned quickly and said, “Rabboni,” a simple Galilean response meaning “O my master.” The inscription on the cross was written in Hebrew as an international Nazareth, King of the Jews, written in Hebrew as an intentional insult of the great orthodox leaders in Latin, because it was hard Roman rule, soldiers, centurions, and a Roman sentence which hanged Him cross; in Greek, so that the average passerby could read the vindication. There is no inscription in Aramaic. Was the ordianry peasant mind o' looked intentionally, instinctively, accidentally? It all means that Jesus Christ de serves from us, from our hearts and hands and eyes, a more intimate and friendly approach than we have given INTER-COLLEGIATE NEWS the basketball season—the banquet. WINSTON-SALEM WASH INGTON CELEBRATION Various organizations are planning special programs in celebration of the Washington-Bicentennial.

Partial disarmament met with more favor, all classes ratifying it by a good majority, while the entire school voted to volunteer to bear arms in case of war. A 372 to 177 vote was recorded against United States’ intervention the affair, the Seniors being strongly against it.

The president of the university states that the school wishes in this way to encourage the development of intellec tual prodigies by providing opportunity for them to live together and associate with others of their status, thus elimi nating the delay which their chrono logical age would naturally place upon their intellectual development. On Friday night, February 12, the annual Pan-Hellenic Banquet was held in the private dining room of the Reynold’s Grill.

DR. D. CLAY LILLY IS VESPER SPEAKER bound even in heaven, but there will always be freedom and the desire choose the right thing. The relation of one personality to another makes friendship. There are friendships among God and saints, among angels, and among men, but not among the lower animals. We should beware of our associations, Our personalities should be related on the basis of equality. One is poor without friends. He is enriched by the effects of the proper relation of per- nality. Religion is the proper relation of e’s own personality to the personal ity of God. When your personality becomes God-conscious, you are part of His kingdom. That is the only real foundation for joy. When we relate ourselves to God we become creative. Dr. Lilly closed with a prayer, after which followed the hymn, “Saviou: Like a Shepherd Lead Us,” and the Y. W. Watchword. Master: “What is the feminine of bachelor. Tommy?” Tommy; “Please, sir—er—a lady- in-waiting.”—Tit-Bits.

The menu includes all kinds of sandwiches from tomato to deviled ham at just a dime apiece. Dopes, chocolate milks, and hot cocoa may be in addition to fruit and tomato es.
