THE REV. WAISER ElEN
SPEAKS AT VESPERS
Closes Series of Talks On
“Christ In Me”
FAMOUS BARITONE
HEARD IN BRILLIANT
CONCERT MONDAY
The Eev. Walser Allen, pastor of
the Moravian Church in Kernersville,
spoke at the “Y” Vespers, Sunday
evening, November 3. He closed the
series of talks on ‘ ‘ Christ in Me.
On October} 13, Miss Carrie 'Leei
Weaver spoke on “Christ in my
Body,” on October 20 Dr. Minnie
Smith spoke on “Christ in my
Mind,” and this past Sunday Mr.
Allen talked on “Christ in my
Soul,” using for his text Matthew
16, S6. “for what is a man profited,
if he gain the whole world and lose
his own soul?” The truth of this
text is revealed in the parable of the
rich young man who had ao much
fruit and grain that he didn’t know
where to store it, so he said, “This
will I do: I will pull down my barns,
and build greater; and there will I
bestow all my fruits and my goods,
And I will say to my soul. Soul, thou
hast much goods laid up for many
years; take thine ease, eat, drink,
and be merry. But God said unto
him, Thou fool, this night thy soul
shall be required of thee, then whose
shall those things be, which thou
hast provided? So is he that layeth
up treasure for himself, and is not
rich toward God.” ,
A man’s life does not consist in
the abundance of his possessions.
God was justified in calling the rich
young man a fool for several reasons.
First, he ignored God entirely in re
spect to his possessions. He forgot
that there isn’t a thing in this world
that he had absolute ownership of.
Without air, or rain, or sunshine he
couldn’t have harvested a bit of
grain or fruit yet he didn’t feel a
bit indebted to God for any of these
gifts. All man possesses originated
with God and He asks for only one-
tenth of man’s possessions and for
one-seventh of his time. Those who
willingly set aside this fraction of
time and money can be sure of God’s
blessing. The second reason why the
man was a fool was because he ig-

DR. ANSCOMBE LECTURES
ON WORLD PEACE
“Governmental Effort To
ward Peace, the League of
Nations” Is Topic
Dr. Anscombe was the third speak
er in the series of talks sponsored
by the World Fellowship Committee
of the Y W. 0. A. His topic was:
‘ ‘ Governmental Efforts Toward
Peace. ’ ’
Up until 100 years ago the na
tions of the world lived to them
selves, not trying to make the world
a unit. Roosevelt, Taft, and Hard
ing all thought about an organiza
tion similar to the League of Na
tions to enforce peace, but Wilson
was really the first to take hold of
the idea and develop it, weaving it
into the peace treaty.
The League is well organized witli j
its council, assembly, secretariat and
permanent court. The council of the
assembly is composed of two houses.
The upper house is composed of nine

Booth Tarkington’s Play
Given Under Direction
Of Mrs. Downs
Booth Tarkington’s well-known
comedy, “The Trysting Place,” was
presented in expanded chapel at
Salem College last Wednesday by
the class in play production, taught
by Mrs. John Downs.
'Choosing a farcial comedy as their
first dramatic vehicle, the Play Pro
duction class presented a delightful
and refreshing performance. “The
Trysting Place,” which has to do
with the amusing actions that occur
in a secluded lobby of a country ho
tel, is a justly famous one-act com
edy by Tarkingto]!. In “The
Trysting Place,” as well as in his
other writings, Tarkington depicts
the modern adolescent cleverly and
sympathetically. Tn this particular
play, Lancelot Briggs is the awk
ward boy who has become infatuated
with Mrs. Curtis.
The cast of characters was:
Lancelot, Anna Wray Fogle; Mrs.
Curtis, Nancy Schallert; Jessie,
Garnelle Raney; Rupert, Louise
Preas; Mrs. Briggs, Mary Elizabeth
Reeves; Mr. Ingoldsby, Gertrude
Schwalbe; and,the Mysterious Voice,
.Tane Rondthaler.
The play was directed by Mrs.
Downs, and those members of the
Play Production Class not acting in
the play were in charge of make-up,
•scenery, etc.
A, new type of fellowship for which
college seniors may apply is an
nounced by the Social Science Re
search Council, an organization rep
resenting the national social science
organizations. This is a fellowship
granted to aid first-year graduate
student.s who wish to devote them
selves to professional care#rs in eco
nomics, government, history, or the
other social sciences.
The fellowships provide a basic
stipend of $1,000, plus tuition and
an allowance of one round trip be
tween the Fellow’s home and his
)>laee of .study. It is expected that
Fellows with a superior record will
1)0 reappointed, so that they may be
aided throughout their entire gradu
ate training. No appointee may
choo.se the institution from which he
received his bachelor’s degree for
study, while holding this type of
award; but the Council will advise
him in the selection of the university
best suited to his interests.
The basis of selection will be
full academic and personal records
of the candidates, supporting letters
from instructors qualified to write
of the candidate’s research progress,
and written examinations which will
be offeree! through the College En
trance E.xaniination Board. These
will include examinations in the
reading of French and German, in
elementary mathematics, and in so
cial science.
Each candidate must submit a let
ter from the Chairman of the depart
ment in which he has pursued his
major under graduate study in sup
port of his application before blanks
will be sent to him. '.Seniors who

You will hear some swingy
rhythm
When you walk into the gate
Come and have your fortune told,
And eat hot dogs while you wait.
Forget your diet for the night
And eat good “eats” to your
lieart’s content,
In the Hall of Horrors you’ll get
a thrill.
Romp around till you^ money’s
spent.
Go boating on the pool ’neath a
full moon — get autographed
hankies — see the exhibits and
the Rogue’s Gallery (you may be
surprised to find your own picture
there) — and, by all means dress

Assistant Director of
North Carolina
DR. ANSCOMBE SPEAKS ON
“PARABLES”
Dr. Anscombe talked on the “Para
bles of .Tesus” Tuesday niortiiing
Nov. 5. He told the story and moral
of the follovring parables: The Seed,
Yeavst, Hidden Treasure, and The
Merchant who went out to buy
pearls.
He compared the seed with the
Kingdoni of Heaven, because both
have life. He said that the spirit of
Jesus will work through society just
as yeast will work through bread.
The beginning of the functioning
of the National Youth Administra
tion ’s program has ii timely signifi
cance for every college student. The
general state of our national affairs,
economic and social, makes it impera
tive for every individual, in or out
of college to apply his best thought
to the solution of those problems
which confront us today.
It is c.ertainly true that what is
needed more than any one thing is
revival of self-dependence is de-
]>endence is likely to be lost in time
of national stress. The government’s
intervention in the field of youth ac
tivities reveals clearly the need for
thought about tomorrow, lest we
should develop a habit of receiving
outside aid, and lose this virtue of
self-dependence.
The program of the Youth Admin
istration has a number of depart
ments. There is the general program
of student aid, which includes aid to
student.s from 16-25, below the col
lege level, aid to college students,
and aid to graduate students. Fur
ther, two general classes' of projects
may bo put into force, manual proj
ects tor those having practical skills,
or who can develop such skills, and
research, statistical and technical
projects for those having the requis
ite training and possibilities.
A whole section of the Federal
Government’s educational effort is
devoted to adult education of many
kinds; a systematic attack on il
literacy; workers’ education; dram
atic activities and nursery schools.
Teachers and directors in these pro
grams will be utilized for youth
groups wherever possible.
