Last year at the Southern Baptist
Student Conference, held at Bir
mingham, it was decided that
similar conferences should be held
in each southern state during the
months of October and November,
for the purpose of carrying out the
challenge received at Birmingham
to “Make Christ Master of My
Generation.” Taking as the keynote
of the North Carolina State Con
ference, “Christ Adequate,” they
are striving for a rededication of
the lives of all the students of this
generation to Christ; for a new
vision of the missionary spirit; for
a burning zeal for soul-winning; and
for' a quickening gleam of Christi
anity.

P Tradition has given Meredith a

that tvasn’t real! I shall try
to tell you about it just as' it has
been told to me by those who knew
the people who actually saw the
ghost. It all came about something

jiist why the lady was so reluctant
in giving lip her abode—it seemed a
mysterious aedret of hers alone,
which no one els^ijbuld ever know.
But as the years passed oil, the old
