Enthuiastic Dr. Patterson Helps Salemites
With Decisions In Christian Living
By Emily Warden
Violeta and Beatriz were coming
out of the door of the Alumnae
House. They immediately said
that they, along with Randy and
Lisa, had been chatting with the
"foreign student” who was born
of missionary parents in China and
came to America to be educated.
They were speaking of Dr. C. H.
Patterson, Religious Emphasis
Week speaker.
That informal talk was only one
of the activities of Dr. Patterson
during this week. Each evening
he held discussions on topics rang
ing from "Putting Jesus First” to
“The Christian Home”. Also he
spoke at both chapel services and
at “V” Watch last Wednesday
evening. Many students went to
him with their personal problems,
aniS others chatted with him over
their meals in the dining hall.
Compares Religions
The first evening Dr. Patterson,
as a means of introduction to the
week’s prograrrf, compared Christ
ianity to Confucianism, Buddhism
and Taoism, all of which he ex
perienced while serving as a mis
sionary to China before the war.
He said that Christianity has so
much more to offer than these
other religions that no one should
reject it.
In his first evening talk last
Tuesday he emphasized the import
ance of making decisions, “because
we must either accept or reject
Christ—there is no happy medium.”
He further stated that Christ must
not only be accepted, but must be
put first in a person’s life.
Christians Cast Shadow
Using Peter as an example, Dr.
Patterson later told how a Christ
ian’s shadow can be extended to
eternity. He said that each thing
done for Christ will spread, and
that one will never know how far
his shadow will be cast. He ad
vised students to begin working
for Christ right here on campus
and in Winston-Salem, and then
the influence that is created here
will multiply elsewhere, he said.
Dr. Patterson ended his mes
sages for Religious Emphasis Week
with a discussion of “The Christ
ian Home”. At that meeting he
presented Christ as the head of
the family.
During the week Dr. Patterson
saw .much of Salem’s campus, met
many of Salem’s students and
heard many of Salem’s problems.
He concluded that “Salem is a
grand school, and I don’t mean
maybe. It has been an inspiration
to me to visit here.”
Going on to cite some of his
outstanding impressions of Salem,
Dr. Patterson named first the his
tory and environment of the col
lege. ’
“The centuries look down upon
the student here. You are sur
rounded by hallowed memories
which carry you back to Huss and
Zinzendorf. No student can come
to this spot and live among its
sacred memories without catching
a vision of service and life.”
Dr. Patterson next mentioned
“the splendid student body” and
especially noted the value of hav
ing students from- foreign countries
staying here.
Dr. Patterson lastly gave credit
to a “fine Y. W. C. A.” for their

He has noticed that “thinking
students are hungry for a more
vital religious experience and are
determined to find the secret of
a living faith.”

Coke bottles amounting to 17 ca'ses

the maintenance of coke machines

Just A Minute
She used to be “long and lanky,”
but since she inherited ^ a fortune
she is “tall and stately.”
We’re always wishing for what
we haven’t got—but what else is
there to wish for ?
As we understand it, the rising
generation retires about the time
the retiring generation arises.
Once in a while you see a man
who doesn’t want any more moneje
He’s holding a lily.
He who laughs last is probably
the one who intended to tell the
story himself a little later.
There is only one thing a wife
will admit she doesn’t know and
that’s why she married her hus

If we can prevent most people
from finding out how dumb we
are—we’re not so dumb.
