A Reading Day Communion
sponsored by the Canterbury Club
will be held in the Little Chapel
at 9:00 p.m. Tuesday. Bunny Gregg,
president, in announcing the ser
vice, -invites all students to attend.
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.”
