Junior Class
Holds Devotional
Polly Edgerton and Janie Bart
lette, who attended the All-Am
erican Young Friends Conference
in Indiana and the Methodist
Youth Conference in Cleveland re
spectively, spoke at a recent Junior
devotional.
The theme i)f the Young Friends
Conference was Christian dedica
tion in spirit and in work, and
Peace was emphasized.
There have been many wars,
and instead of solving problems,
they have made more. Only
Peace based on Christian princi
ples can end wars and American
youth must strive to obtain it.
These principles are: seek for
growing fellowship with God, seek
for complete dedication to Christ,
seek to live above racial barriers,
and seek to overcome violence
with love.
Dr. Harold Case of Pasadena,
California, spoke on “Christ Above
All,” the theme of the Methodist
Youth Conference.
The delegates saw a religious
drama, went to an informal re
ception, attended a watchnight
service, and heard Roland Hayes,
famous American Negro tenor, in
a concert.
In closing the devotional the
hymn, “For the Beauty of the
Earth”, was sung by La Nelle
Edwards, Virginia McFarland, and
Anne Lee. They were accompani
ed by Audrey Garris at the piano.
