PACIFIST WEAKENS
UNDER WAR PRESSURE
SAYS DR. COMER
University of N. C. Professor
Speaks In Wednesday
Chapel
Dr. Comer from the Univer.sity of
North Carolina spoke in Wednesday
Chapel on Problems of Pacifism in a
War Psychology.
Before the World War Dr. Comer
was a rabid pacifist and had signed
a pledge against war. When the
war began, he became himself an
ardent militarist. There is in every
human being, he said, something that
urges him to support warfare and
even the pacifist of normal times
weakens in war time under the pres
sure brought to bear upon him. His
ideal has fallen when he was still
unaware that he was losing it.
There are various reasons for a
change of viewpoint favoring pacif
ism to one favoring militarism. The
radio in times of war, transmits
only the news that the government
wants the people to hear. Propa
gandists send books filled with
atrocities committed by the enemy,
to private citizens. Speakers on
platforms easily persuade people to
believe them for they speak for the
“Great Cause.” Parents and friends
are ashamed of men who afl? phys
ically nnable to fight, and will have
nothing to do with those who are
able-bodied yet unwilling to make
the “supreme sacrifice.” The church
pulpit becomes a “propagandist sta
tion for enlistment” and only two
churches in the Great War refused
to be this. The United States flag
u-as in every pulpit and along with
it, the star flag — the star represent-
inrr the members of the church who
had been killed. Ministers urged the
people to fight “in the name of Jesus
Christ.” If a person did not en-
pige in some branch of war' work,
afte.r the war was ended, he could
not get .'I, job.
'I'he people of today are “more
carnival-minded than ever before.”
They want to get excitement out of
everything. And war furnishes a
thrill for them. But in exchange it
takes millions of lives and billons
of dollars.
Air. Comer believes that peace will
not come about as the result of the
signing of a pledge. “The time to
make jieace is in times of i>eace. Men
must work their fingers to the bone
and maybe in the future they will
have a peace that will stand!”

l)il you know that Salem has ,a
ghost? r didn’t know ’til last night,
but I think it’s delightful. He’s not
the spooky, creepy kind of ghost that
stalks at midnight through old saw
mills and old forgotten grave yards.
This particular ghost is a little red
man, and he lives down between the
thick rock walls of the Brothers’
House, and peeks out at i>eople —
when they’re not looking, as they
dome down there exploring all the
dark corners. He must be a charm
ing little fellow, and he must be
very wise, for he's lived there for
years and years and he’s seen many
generations come and go, and many
strange things happen. In onr own
day he has seen visitors to the
Brothers’ House come down the worn
old steps and down into the damp
cellars. I think he must look for
ward to the Candle-makers’ Tea
every year, for then he can hear the
chatter of many voices, and can hear
the clink of money as it falls into
the offering box.
He knows the story of the bees
wax candles that his friend Miss Ella
Butner, at the Church Home, is mak
ing. He knows that at Christmas
time the light from their flames will
bring joy and peace to the Mora
vian Churches’ Christmas Love
Feast, to Salem’s candle-light serv
ice, and to the homes of many oth
er people who love the aroma of hot
bees-wax and the rich, warm light
the home-made candles give off.

FACULTY DINNER
TO BE HELD
Scheduled For Hallowe’en
Night
Monday evening marks something
other than Hallowe’en, for it is the
occasion of the first faculty-student
dinner ever held at Salem.
Plans have not as yet been com

good time for all. The faculty will
assemble in Main Hall and will be
escorted to the dining room by the
seniors, who will as usual, be hostes.s-
es.
There will be several toasts of wel
come and responses (it is hoped), and
this with the singing which will fol
low, will prove it to be an occasion
which everyone will want to make
an annual affair.
