Saturday, March 4, 1933. THE SALEMITE Page Three. CHALLENGE OF CHRIST SUBJECT OF CHAPEL things realistic?” Man cannot liV' if he gives himself to no higher thing than bread—to physical, hie, and tangible things. Wealth starves itself to death when it re duces its holdings to material thing; It is a perennial challenge— “Should I live for what I get or for what I give.?” On a narrow parapet, on the of Herod’s temple Jesus feels strange lure. Should he go alon( spectacular adventure, or should he team up with others ? A stunt brings applause, but it is temporary and disappointing at the end. The ,T( were expecting a miracle working Messiah, and the fact that Jesus did not perform miracles indiscriminate ly lowered Him in their regard. Christ’s challenge was to choose be tween living humbly with others, or separating Himself with arrogance. When Christ was standing on the mountain He could see on the west the blue Mediterranean that touched Rome, Greece, and Egypt — the Western World. On the east He could see beyond the Jordan. All the world seemed to be lying at His feet. He wanted it—he yearned to go to it, but He felt the necessity of ceaseless devotion to His own home country. He was filled with an eager longing to present it all to 'His Father. Then came the sug gestion—should he take the short cut, a bended knee and a bowed head? Should Pie compromise! We, who have so much ahead of us, shall we lower our standard make a spiritual or moral conc sion by yielding? Shall we get something quickly that should take a long time ? We all have our m tain tops; the world is within reach, but not by compromise! Each intimate rejoinder Jesus made came from a training he had received from liis mother. We, all of us, need to remain steady to those deep, rich, and simple tilings of childhood. We must live up to oui mother's confidence and our fatlier’f expectation. This talk of Dr. Rondthaler’f marked with reverence and eleai thinking, was made to the collegt and academy witii sincerity and earn estness that was almost paternal. It bore an appeal that deeply impressed them. STUDENTS PLAY DIFFI CULT NUMBERS AT MUSIC RECITAL {Continued from Page One) ably interpreted the mood of “Ah! non creda mirarti,” by Bellini. Miss Rosalie Smith delighted her audience with the trills of “The Lark,” by (Jlinka Baaklirew. The program was brought to a triumphant close by Mr. Broadus Staley at the organ, playing “Toc- cita,” by Max Reger, and “Piece Heroique,” by Cesar Franck. ARTISTS’ MODEL (Continued from Page Two.) —whose models seem to embody the very esscnee of healthy, youthful, blonde all-Americanism — we give you Nancy McNeely. Take her as she looks every day, maybe walking across Salem Square in a canary col ored dress with school books under her arm—let her serve as an inspi ration for your next out-door-girl picture. For James Montgomery Flagg, f tin- ender nd r phisticated heroines for the short ; stories in monthly magazines, liave two excellent suggestions. Why not dress Ruth Mcl.eod in a long, silvery evening gown, and silhouette lu;r against a moonlit doorway ? Or with a few hasty but inspired lines and shadings, why not draw Wanna Mary Huggins, lounged on a sofa, with a book unheeded in her lap and a far off look in her eyes (High Point will be just about far enough away for the look) and the dress should have a plain neckline). Rose O’Neill you’re next. Your eu))ids and roimd baby faces have made you famous. You have stuck to one type of illustration and ex pression in all of your work so far; please don’t change it until you have tried two models from Salem who seem to j)er.sonify exactly what you r.ced and demand. Some of your characters are children, in fact, most of them are—with cherubic faces, eurly golden hair, chubby hands and dimples—Anne Libba McKinnon seems to jump right onto a pag a stiffly starched blue organdie dress and pale pink socks, when this de scription is painted—O, and she has the blue eyes that cupies always have. But some of your girls have pulled their hair back from their faces in a curvedly-straight line into a round knot on the back of their necks. They, too have plump faces and dimples, and flowy dresse and blue eyes. We give you fo: these Erika Marx in a kimona, wit! )ier hair done up like she always There is just one more artist to whom Salem would like to offer mod els—Ihs man could make a perfect painting for somebody’s magazine— if Grace Pollock would dress up in a white sweater and skirt, red boots and scarf—and consent to ski over a snow-covered hill—black curly hair, perfect figure—daring lines— and color! Have you guessed who tlie artist is? If not, let him take a purplish-blue-grey background and get Jinny Nall to turn her profile aganst it—dainty features, pale gold hair with a mass of curls a the back. Both she and Grace belong to no body but McClelland Barclay', prob ably the most fastidious and popu lar illustrator in America today. If these artists do not immediately take up the above generous offers of Salem’s student body, we are plan ning to send the models straight out to Hollywood and put some of the feminine movie stars out of contract. SOCIETY Patsy McMullen, Julia Lee Lit tle, and Florence Ledbetter are go ing to Washington for the inaugu ration this week-end. Mrs. Led better, Mrs. Little and Julia Lee’s sister are accompanying them. Cora Emaline Henderson and Cora Sharp are visiting their respec tive homes in Graham and Burling ton, N. C. ■ Ruth McLeod is spending the week-end at her home in Maxton, and Mildred Hanes in Pine Hall, N. C. Mary Louise Fuller is spending Saturday and Sunday in High Miriam Stevenson is spending the week-end at her home in Salisbury, Dr. Willoughby: (to only student who has come to class) : “Where are the other fools?” Mary C. Seaweed: “I guess we are the only ones that are coming.” Lasater: “How much did you say these apples are?” Boy: “Fifteen cents a peck.” Lasater: “What do you think I n, a bird?” Ciesfe^e/Js aiis. WHEN smokers keep buying the same cigarette day after day... it’s a pretty good sign that they’re getting what they want... mildness, better taste — a smoke that’s always the same. So we’re going right on making Chesterfields just as we always have . , . selecting choice, ripe tobaccos . . . ageing them , . . blending and cross-blending them... making them into cigarettes in the most scientific ways that are known. As long as we do these things we know that smokers will continue to say,“They Satisfy”. For that’s what people are saying about Chesterfields. If you smoke, why not find out about them? A package or two will tell you the whole story. Ch ester THEY’RE MILDER- THEY TASTE BEHER
