The service will be conducted by the Rev. George A. Kemp, clergy- ' man advisor to the Canterbury ! Club, and the Rev. Thomas A. Fraser, Jr., rector of St. Paul’s Episcopal Church. , j Amory Merritt, newly elected j president of the Canterbury Club, requested the Rev. George Kemp ; to make a statement, concerning , the purpose and reason for this particular celebration of the , Holy Communion. A student had asked, “Is it right to pray our way tlirough exams?” 1 In answering the question Rev. Kemp said: I “This is a legitimate question. I Those of us who are accustomed to worship God at the Holy Table do not expect any magic to make up for our own failures to do our duty. If we have failed to read a book or study a lesson we do not expect that God, through the Holy Communion, will bring to our minds content and answers that are not there. We do not come to our Reading Day Communion to ‘pray our way through exams’. “But some of the reasons why we want to come to this communion are: “1. Because we wish to thank God for the blessings He has given us as we have attended Salem College. “2. Because we wish to thank Him for those who administer the affairs of the College and for the faculty and for what they have meant to us. We want to ask God to have them in His holy keeping. “3. Because just as we began our college year together in prayer so it is fitting that we conclude it in this service of fellowship and thanksgiving; and, in so doing, we feel that the meaning of what we have done and shall soon do might be brought to our minds. “4. Because we shall soon leave this place and go our separate ways and we want to ask God to be with the seniors, and they graduate and take their places in the world; and we want Him and His presence to abide with us all until we meet again. “5. Finally we come to the Communion because He has taught us that we mighticome to Him and ask Him as a child of a father for all thpse things that are necessary, as well for the body as the soul, beseeching Him to grant us our petitions as may be most expedient for us.” News Briefs Everyone is cordially invited to attend the Dean’s Coffee on Read ing Day, May 16.
