BAPTIST STUDENT CONFERENCE SEEN IN GENERAL PERSPECTIVE IHS('USSI(»\ OF FUnrOSKS AXI) ADLS AS AS I’AHTICr. PAM’S AM) EQUri’MKM’ The greatest event for the Baptist students of Virginia, South Carolina and North Carolina was the Baptist Student Confei’ence held at Raleigh February 29 to March 2, 1924. Two other conferences have been held re cently for Baptist students In other states in the south, under the direc tion of the Inter-Board Commission created by the Southern Baptist Con vention, The purpose of this com mission is to provide and then pro mote an adequate program for Baptist student religious activities, i Mr. Prank H, Leavell, secretary of this commission, outlined at each of jtheSQ conferences the plan of work proposed which will serve the interests of Southern Baptists hest on the cam pus. This great denominational ef- Turt to unify, lead, and inspire the young Baptist is appreciated by the students as was shown by their ready response, and very enthusiastic acceptance at all these conferences of this plan. The personnel of the speakers was of the highest order. They were peo ple who have a vital interest In stu dents and are in a position to know their prol)lems and make practical sug gestions for the solutions, A very prominent place was given to student speakers. Music was a feature of the program. Of especial delight were the quartetts. The loyalty and interest of the stu dents were proved by the large num ber of delegates and their participa tion in the conference. A large nuni- bei' of schools was represented, de nominational and state institutions. We, at Meredith, were fortunate in deed to have had the opportunity of attending in a body, most of these meetings. Those delightful days spent with the students of other schools and colleges, and our wonderful leaders will ever be a ‘‘living” memory and a spur to our best efforts on our campus for Him, the giver of these blessings. It seems that we realize more than over what it means to be a Christian student, and we have a greater de sire to make the most of college life. "To Make the Campus Different," we were made to see that it'could be done only through loyalty to Christ, even to the point of "recklessness." The needs are many, but by taking Christ as our standard, our aims and ideals of the great comradeship for Christ and His kingdom will be real ized. Let us give ourselves wholeheart edly to intelligent service for the king dom of God In the spirit of our living Master who leads us forward in His name and for His sake. From the success of these confer ences, we predict that the time will soon come for a great South-wide “Convention" rather than these smaller conferences. NO TRADE Farmer: “Bo this the Woman’s Ex* change?” Woman: “Yes.” F.: “Be ye the woman?” Woman: “Yes.” F.: “Thea I think I'll keep Maggie.” IT MIGHT BE WORSE "Alas! I fear 1 haven’t written any thing that will live.” Friend: “Cheer up! Be thankful you are alive in spite of wiiat you’ve written.” PREPAREDNESS He: “My dear, it’s no use for you to look at those hats. I haven’t more than a dollar in my pocket.” She: “You might have known when we came out that I’d want to buy a few things.” He: *'I did." NOTE THIS, GIRLS “Well, Art, I can tell you’re a mar ried man all right, no holes in your stockings any more." “No, one of the first things my wife taught me was to darn ’em." HOW TO GET WARM Pay all your bills at once, make a bond lire with check stubbs. Even your neighbors can get warm. SAY IT WITH FLOWERS Don’t divorce your wife. Take her a dozen roses. The shock will kill her and you can use the roses for the funeral. One of many: “Do you play Tolz?” "No. but I can’t give it up.” Rachel Daniels: “Marriage Is a great game, I imagine.” Geneva Benthall: “Yes, but it always results in a tie!” Invitations to your commencement should he correct in every detail The “imprint” of Edwards & Broughton Printing Company has for many years been the mark of craftsmanship in engraving Concert—Commencement—Wedding Invitations Edwards & Broughton Printing Co.
