Of A Living Faith” CENTENARY CHURCH HONORS SALEM GIRLS “Salem Day” Is Held At Methodist Church Last Sunday was “Salem Day” at Centenary Methodist Church. Methodist girls in school at Salem were invited to attend the morning church school services at Centenary, and also a reception given Sunday afternoon in their honor by the young people’s department of the church. Miss Elizabeth Jerome, Mrs. W. G. Jerome, and Mrs. T. A. Houck, jissisted by members of the young people’s dei>artment, were in charge of the reception given at the church from four o’clock until six. The reception began with the pres entation of the Salem students to members of the official church staff, after which Miss Jerome gave a dainty corsage to each guest. The girls were then directed on a tour of the church by several young peo ple of the church. After an informal “get acquainted” period held in the Ladies Parlor, the guests were in vited into the church dining-room and served tea and other refresh ments. DR. AND MRS. ROND- THALERSA1LF0RU.S. Salem was fortunate in having as Its speaker for Y. P. M. on Wednes day, the Reverend Beverly M. Boyd, Rector of St. Paul’s Episcopal Church. He began by saying thiit ho felt ‘ ‘ at home ’ ’ at Salem Col lege because of his delightful ac quaintance with Dr. Rondthaler as well as his brief acqauintance with some of Salem’s alumnae. Reverend Boyd believes that peo ple of our age need an especial faith for three reasons: Because we are at the age in which we need a belief; wo are* daring and adventurous; and wo lack faith in ourselves. “I believe what our generation lacks is faith in ourselves, faith in our leaders and in our institutions. My challfnge to you is that you re store this faith. Our forefathers lived in a departmentalized world with airtight compartments. There was one compartment which govern ed their home life, another thier community life and a third their religious life and as long as they did what was thought proper in the community and church it didn’t mat ter what they did in their personal and private life. Transportation, ra)>id dissemination of knowledge, growth of population have all con tributed to break down the depart mentalized life and bring about a unity (if life which requires a dif ferent faith. “Each life is divided into two fac tors: one, the means by which wo live; and the other the ends for which we live. Wo have been in such full possession of the nu'iins for living and so interested in using the forces of nature and bending them for our use that we have lost sight of the ends for which we live. T doubt that we are living on as high a level as did our forefathers. To most of us life is just one bitter struggle and wo have lost sight of simple things. “There are three simple convic tions: belief in God; belief in fel- (CONTINUED ON PACE THREE) cmc MUSIC ASSOCiA- f; TION SEASON OPENS John Charles Thomas First Presentation May Arrive In New York October 14 Friends of Dr. and Mrs. Bond- thaler will be glad to learn that they have sailed for the United States.

Officer Is Guest Miss l{hoda McCullock, who is edi lor of the “ Wonmn’» Press,” anl who is a member of the Federal Council of Churches, spoke to the student body in chapol, Thursday morning. Her talk centered around the significance to you, to ourselves, of the time.s in which we live. So ciety and human relationships are in a tangle today. Strange words came from Ethiopia — to tight cun ningly. From Italy the words come —to fight with hearts of steel. You and I are a part of the pur posive struggle to find the meaning of life. We are a part of this world wide search. Our society is broken up into groups, and bj' our choice to which group we belong, we influence the world of tomorrow. We liv’e in years of deep detern*iii- ing. Shall men discover the purjwscs of Cod, and help bring them to pass? If we do not see the significance of the world crisis today, the world will become dead. To refuse to take part in it ia to make a grave mistake. Life i.s a great adventure.
