STUDENT BODY HEARS
DR. JOHN R. SAMPEY
SPEAKER FROM THE SEMINARY
CONDUCTS CHAPEL SERVICE
“There are many forms of service in
which women can invest their lives,”
said Dr. John R. Sampey, of the South
ern Baptist Theological Seminary, in
his talk at chapel service Tuesday
morning, November 7.
Dr. Sampey, after being introduced
by Dr. Brewer, addressed all the stu
dents and a group of interested town
people.
“A woman may invest her life in the
home church. There she has a great
opportunity to serve God. She secures
the best’training for that work here at
Meredith,” he declared. There are
many other forms of service, however.
China and other foreign nations need
help. There she can teach the lost to
love God. Women are needed there as
well as men. The visiting of the sick,
plays a great part in church work. Dr.
Sampey told how the trained nurses
or tHe '•Aiigeis oi Mercy renuer great
service when they minister to suffering
humanity. The pastors in large
churches need assistants. Here a girl
has a wonderful opportunity to re
claim some other girl and win lives to
Jesus. She can talk to boys and girls
in the transitory age, when they have
many temptations. “W. M. U. work
offers a great open door to girls,” he
again declared. “There are many open
doors everywhere. Those whose hearts
are open to serve God should invest
their lives in such service. The high
est service we can render to Him seems
unworthy of Him. The finest gift is
yourself. Jesus knocks at ytjur heart.
Will you lift the latch and let Him in?”
Dr. John R. Sampey, D.D., LL.D.,
who is professor of the Old Testament
and Hebrew at the Southern Baptist
Theological Seminary, Louisville, Ky.,
has been holding a series of meetings
in the Wake Forest Baptist Church lor
the past week. Dr. A. Paul Bagby,
pastor of this church, says of him
(quoting Old Gold and Black) :
“Dr. Sampey is a man of broad
knowledge, and deep insight, in not
only the Scriptures, but human nature
as well. He is one of the greatest He
brew scholars in America. The best,
finest alhround man I ever knew. One
of the best laymen and church workers
I ever had, and he is a man I think
that will appeal to the college stu
dents.”
So desirous were the Meredith au
thorities to have Dr. Sampey speak to
the student body that the chapel hour
was moved up one hour that he might
meet his engagements.
CHICKEN BREAKFAST
AT “SON” RISE
INFIRMARY THE SCENE OF ACTION
FOE FEAST
What’s the use of worrying about
going to the infirmary when there’s
fried chicken for breakfast, as was
served last Sunday morning? Need
less to say there were none of the in
mates who were too ill to enjoy the
breakfast, for when the savory odors
of fried chicken and coffee began to
fill every corner of the rooms the beds
were quickly vacated.
“Son” tried to prove that she was a
modern flapper by staying in bed
until the last call for breakfast, but
her old-fashioned ideas about how
coffee should be made caused her to
rise even before the cooks arrived.
Several girls made contributions to
the breakfast until there was a boun
teous supply of grape fruit, toasit,
cakes, coffee, milk and chicken. The
guests gathered around this home-like
toble nnrt tborrmp-filv Ruioved this rare
treat.
VARIED Y. W. PROGRAM
INTERESTING SUBJECT
CHRISTIAN CALLINGS ABLY DIS
CUSSED IN YESPER SERYICE
Martha Powell, Janet Sykes, Pauline
Patton and Marie Horne visited their
friends, Geraldine and Dorothy Gower,
at Clayton the past week-end.
Frances White, Katherine Shields,
and Doris Tillery spent the past week
end in Clayton.
Mary Lou Lewis and Etta Dunn have
been spending a few days at their
homes in Scotland Neck.
Olivia Moye, Elizabeth Higgs, Mary
L. Little and Blanche Davenport were
at home in Greenville last week-end.
Mary Blount Martin, Elizabeth Dan
iels and Blanche Stokes spent the past
week-end in Wilson.
The regular service of the Y. W. C. A.
was led, in chapel Sunday evening, by
Margaret Duncan. The program was
quite interestingly rendered, though
different from the usual program. The
topic for discussion was “Calls to the
Christians” or, “Christian Callings.”
Various passages of the Bible were
read and discussed by several girls.
The ways in which God may call a
sinful person from darkness into the
light of his kingdom were discussed
by Ruth Livermon alter reading a pas
sage from Ephesians. There are cer
tain things over which man has no
control, such as birth, life or death,
but God gives man the privilege of
molding his earthly life as he chooses.
Some of the calls to Christian serv
ice, as shown in Mark 1:17 and Mat
thew X;21, were discussed by Mabel
n'dha.m and Fditb Yniinp-
An idea of service may be gotten
from the life that Jesus Christ lived
here on earth. His example is living,
and true as much as it was at the time
He was living in the world. He gave
His earthly life for our redemption
from the stains of sin and He ex
pects the first place in our lives. It is
doubtful, whether we are sincere in
praying the Lord’s prayer, whether
we really mean to have God’s will
done, regardless of the pain and suf
fering it may cause. The discussion
was ended by a poem, in which the idea
of service to mankind was illustrated.

Her father shot it dead.
And now it goes to school with her

OPENING RECITAL
BRILLIANT SUCCESS
MRS. MONCRIEFF, CONTRALTO,
OPENS FACULTY SERIES
The annual series of recitals given
by the musical faculty was initiated
with a brilliant success on Tuesday
evening, November 7, in the recital
given by Mrs. Alice Moncrieff, formerly
of New York, but now a popular and
valued member of the Meredith faculty.
The auditorium was crowded with
music lovers of the city, the faculty,
and the student body, all of whom,
judging from the amount of applause,
enjoyed to the fullest extent the ar
tistic program rendered in a way
which left nothing to be desired. The
appreciation with which the singer was
received in this her first concert ap
pearance in Raleigh was evidenced
both by the size of her audience and
by the many beautiful floral tributes
showered upon her.
Dr. Dlngley Brown, director of the
music department, was Mrs. Monorieff’s
a.jie ucCmiipai'iist at the piano, i-u.'-
nishing the artistic harmonious back
ground which is so essential to a
singer.
The program, whose content and
manner of rendition made the recital
one to be remembered, not described
is as follows;
