STATE YOUTH CON
FERENCE HELD IN
WINSTON-SALEM
Salem Collegfe Well
Represented
“Christian Youth Building a New
World” was the theme of the State-
Wide Youth Conference held in
Winston-Salem from Fridaj', Novem
ber 29th to Sunday, December 1st.
With that theme in mind, and a
definite aim in view, one hundred
and fifty or more young people at
tended the Conference Meetings
held last week at the First Baptist
Church. Young men and women rep
resenting their churches and organ
izations in their towns, and those
representing their colleges, met to
gether with older leaders to discuss
with them problems, and solutions
for those problems, in a rather cha
otic world.
Dr. Edmund Schwarze welcomed
the delegates in the opening session
of the conference at 2:00 Friday aft
ernoon. He reminded them of the
rapid increase of nationalism and
the danger of a break with the
church in a nation that sanctions it.
The way to attack the problem is
through the youth of the nation.
Dr. Jesse M. Bader, of the Federal
Council of Churches in America, de
livered the keynote address. He said
that youth is on the march all over
the world. In Germany, in Italy, in
Russia, young people are on the
march politically and educationally.
Young CommunLsts chant, “We are
changing the world. ^ ^ If all the fol
lowers of Jesus Christ would say
that, it would mean something. Jesus
spoke of a New World, in which His
kingdom would come. 63 generations
have failed to bring in that king
dom, and we, as the C4th, can do it
if we arc willing to pay the price.
What about our own personal relig
ious living? How much of us does
Christ have? What about our loy
alty and devotion to Christ and His
Church? We can’t have a New
World without Christ and we can’t
give to others what we do not have
ourselves. Our generation needs
Christ more than /any generation
ever has, and when we get Him in
place, the world will come out all
right.
Discussion groups were held after
Dr. Bader’s speech. The delegates
chose the groups that they wished to
attend. These groups were led by
Dr. Haupert of Moravian College,
Dr. Binkley of Chapel Hill, and Dr.
Anscombe of Salem College.
At 5:.30, a supper meeting was held
in the recreation room of the church,
and Dr. Harry Holmes, Field Secre
tary of the World Alliance for In
ternational Friendship spoke. Dr.
Holmes is an Australian, and he has
recently traveled all over the world.
He stated that this is a time of
tremendous crisis in the history of
the world. We should be thankful
that we have freedom of speech, for
in no other country could we have
a meeting for the discussion of re
ligion. In Russia, atheism grows;
in Germany, Sunday Schools close
and boys are told “You were born
to die for Germany”; and in Italy
they are taught to die for Italy. We
must live for Christ; we must build
a new world that way, not by dying.

TO SALEM SATURDAY
Dr. Rondthaler Conducts
First Chapel Service of
December
After an absence of about five
months. Dr. and Mrs. Rondthaler
have returned to Winston-Salem and
to Salem Oollege. Dr. Rondthaler
has completely recovered from an
automobile accident in London and
he and Mrs. Rondthaler have been
at Clifton Springs, N. Y., for the
past month.
Dr. Rondthaler taught his Sunday
School Class Sunday and has been in
h;s office every day since.
Dr. Rondthaler, veteran chapel
chapel conductor that he is, opened
the program on Tuesday morning as
if he had been doing it every day
during these past few months. There
were so many girls at chapel on this
morning that many were afraid we
were having Y. P. M. at 8:30 on
Tuesday instead of Wednesday at
eleven o’clock.
The faces of the seniors fairly
beamed as these learned folk march
ed in. The first Christmas hymn of
tho year was played at this first
December chapel service. Gertrude
Schwalbe asked for a show of a]>
preciation which was gladly given by
great applause from the student
body and faculty. Encore by Dean
Vardoll. Expressing his happiness
at being home again Dr. Rondthaler
thanked Dean Vardell for his co
operation, and students for their let
ters and messages.
“Lately I have been thinking of
a verse,’” Dr. Rondthaler stated;
“He came unto his own and His own
received Him not.” We’should hate
to have this said of us. Dr. Rond
thaler told of wayside shrines in
Europe, and particularly in Switzer
land, where travelers stop to worsh
ip. “Inner shrines are just as im
portant,” he said. “It is wonderful
to be at the shrine of Christmas.”
Dr. Rondthaler closed the program
with a prayer. The recessional was
another Christmas hymn.

MISS FERGUSON
World Fellowship Commit
tee Sponsors Lecture
At the expanded chapel period
Wednesday morning, December 1.
Mrs. Fred Schwalbe was the guest
speaker. She ,told about Alaska and
tho work of the missionaries there.
Dr. Rondthaler introduced Mrs.
Schwalbe with a fitting tribute to
her and the splendid work that she
and Mr. Schwalbe are carrying for
ward.
Alaska is over 5,000 miles awiiy
and about half of that distance is
over the Northern Pacific Ocean.
Few people realize the vastness of
Alaska and the beauty of its scenery.
Visitors usually see only the southern
part of Alaska and thereby miss its
w:lder northern beauty. Many travel
ers remain in the country for only
a short while, and then return, to the
United States to write books aboiit
Alaska. A good friend of tho
Schwalbes tells this story about such
a writer.
“A famous writer from Philadel
phia- caniQ to Alaska to get material
for a book. At Fairbanks, she wan
invited to a dance in the town hall.
In the midst of the dance, a pistol
shot was heard, and a man near the
writer fell to the floor. The man
was carried out, and the dancing
continued as if nothing had hap
pened. It was not until the next
morning that the lady found out
that the occurrence was a ‘frame-up’
for her benefit.”
Ahtska is very proud of Mt. Mc
Kinley, the highest peak in North
America. The city of Fairbanks is
tho heart of Alaska, and there the
University of Fairbanks, tho farthest
north college, is located. The sum
mers in Fairbanks are (juite warm;
in fact, one man raises strawberries
there. However, in winter it is often
50 degrees or 60 degrees below zero.
Many of tho finest people in the
world are found in Alaska. Among
them are the Germans and the Scan-
dinavins who are unfraid and are
able to endure hardships. The fwn-
ous pioneers of ’98 are beginning to
pass away. Unele Sara is beginning’
to take more interest in Alaska, and
it is, as a result, becoming moro pto-
gre.isive. Airplane is tho chief

PROFESSOR RAY
HAUPERT SPEAKS ON
“VISIONS” AT CHAPEL
The speaker at chapel Saturday,
November 30, was Professor Ray
Haupert, of the Biblical Language
Department at the Moravian Semin
ary at Bethlehem, Penn. He spoke
on “Visions” which he defined as
“the ability to see sooner, farther,
and more clearly than other people. ’ ’
The speaker added that it is ability
which rises out of dissatisfaction
there had a jolly time, and the girls
felt more as though they really be- conditions, and that all
longed to the church as a result of
the fellowship at the dinner.
SENIOR VESPERS
Senior Christmas Vespers, one of
the most impressive services of the
school year, takes place Sunday eve
ning at 6:30 in Memorial Hall. Sen
ior Vespers is an event ■which you
cannot afford to miss. It will be
necessary that you come early in
order to get a seat down stairs.
progress in science is determined by
vision. Scientific inventions often
result from a person’s dissatisfac
tion with things as they are.
Religion has a function in relation
to vision. It should have the power to
make one feel that he is not all he
could be and should furnish a motive
to move one towards a realization
of his vision. Religion, stated Pro
fessor Haupert is not a repressive
force it is a force of self-express
ion that gives us a feeling that life
is worthwhile.
tionalistic Spirit.”
After the fall of Rome there was
no nationalistic spirit, nor was there
any among the early Christians. The
spirit developed when the early rul
ers of tho world began to advance
their own ideas. It became more
dominant as other national ideas de
veloped. Expansion of Commerce
and desire for colonial possessions
urged on this spirit.
For the United States the term
national was not used until after the
Civil War. Then it came to be used
in connection with our foreign jx)l-
icy and territorial expansion. Now
our nationalistic spirit is manifested
in our immigration laws, our tariff
laws, and our foreign holdings.
