Week
STUDENTS RECEIVE MESSAGES
WITH ENTHUSIAM
On Sunday evening, February third,
at the vesper hour Dr. E. McNeill
Poteat, Jr. began the series of talks
which extended through Friday of that
week and included nine messages. Dr.
Poteat conducted "A Deeper Spiritual
Thinking Week,” sponsored by the
B. S. U. Council, and, in addition to
his daily talks, held open forum dis
cussions and private conferences with
the students, Ho used as bis theme
for the week Luke 5:4, “Launch out
into the deep, and let down your nots
for a di’aught.”
The talk on Sunday evening served
as an introduction to the eight suc
ceeding messages and he explained,
first of all, that the area of religion
]{]iows no confining bounds. He stated
that In so far as possible during the
week he would attempt to open up a
clear path of vision into the legitimate
range of religion, which includes self,
universe, society, morals, and God.
The SrysterJous Universe
On Tuesday morning the topic of the
talk wag the mysterious universe in
which we live. Dr. Poteat explained
that only recently had the universe
become iji]>otcriiJuS—* ijiat I'ubcui’vlius
men had proceeded from certainty to
uncertainty. He explained how the
theories of Galileo and Copcrnicus pro
duced a violent change from one cer
tainty to another and how recent in
vestigations bad destroyed this cer
tainty. “Darwiuism also had its dis
turbing influence on the thought and
life of man. It deflated tho ogo in man
and provided for an automatic prog
ress of life.
Itcply of Religion
“Rellgkin'a reply to tlie confusion
produced by tills investigation,” said
Dr. Poteat, '’was throe-fold. First,
there was a frightened rejoinder which
said 'The scientist is an atheist and
all scicutitic thought is impious.’ Then,
Clime a more deliberate judgment
which recognized the fact that truth
Is a living, growing thing’—that sdeii-
tllic truth and religious truth cannot

Are You Keeping Up?
In tho fast ago in which we live
where the individual is increasingly
faced witli tho necessity for "keeping
up,” several avenues iwosent theni-
solves. All invaluable one. of courso,
is the realm of books with the facilities
the college library has to offer.
A striking feature of modei’n books Is
their attractiveness—both in cover
design and: illuatratlc^is. Indeed, a
biography at which tho writer glanced
recently contained 130 illustrations;
another had a flue collection of 61
full-page platos.
For readers of fiction, the libpary
allorda the popular, Goodby Mr. Ohijys,
the atory of a lovable English school
master. Walpole-enthusiasts will not
want to miss his new Captain Nicholun,
In which a '‘gallant, charming, ma
licious social pirate makes devastating
progress through a contented London
family.” So Bed The Rnse, perhaps
the most talked of novel of tho year,
has found its way to our library
shelves. According to Ellen Glasgow,
it is "the best novel of the Deep South
in the Civil war that has yet been
written."
The flold of biography Is represented
by Vincent Van. Qogh by Julius Meier*
Graefe. America and Alfi'ed Stieglitz
and Invincible Louisa by Cornelia
Melga. The former two deal with the
lives of artists, the one a master of
photography and pioneer oC modern
art; the other concerns a painter of
the nineteenth century whose life was
nn extraordinarily tragic one. Read
ers of Little Women and the other
Alcott books will welcome
Louisa, the complete story of her
career by one who like Mias Alcott,
