The relationship of birth, joy,
sorrow, and death to Lent was the
subject of the first Vfediiesday
afternoon Lenten message given
by the Rev. Mr. Ray Holder, pas
tor of Christ Church, Raleigh,
Pebruary 11.
Lent is a time to grow spiritu
ally and learn more about God.
Mr. Holder explained Lent in
terms of a child growing into an
adult through knowledge. The
sermon was a spiritual beginning
to Lent observance for Saint
Mary’s girls.
The second Lenten message was
given by Bishop Thomas C. Darst,
who Avas retired from active
church Avork in 1946 and is noAV
residing in Wilmington.
Reminding his congregation of
the tAvo Avords “pattern” and “ex
ample,” tlie Bishop explained that
Christ set an example AAdiich is
the pattern to folloAv. “Come Avitli
me to the Upper Room,” he said,
“and picture hoAv Christ felt Avhen
He Avashed his disciples’ feet be
fore the holj^ sacrament of the
Last Supper.” This AAms an ex
ample Christ set. in the garden
of Gethsemane Christ’s faith and
trust in God Avere unsurpassed.
Lent is the time to increase our
faith in God and to folloAV the
pattern set by Clirist.

students lieard Bishop Noble C.
PoAvell, Bishop of Maryland.
Bishop PoAvell called the stu
dents’ attention to the importance
of “yon as a living advertise
ment” for home, self, school, and

ed on his face,” said tlie Bishop.
Just as Jesus is Avitness to God,

“That all upperclassmen should

urday morning under the same
conditions enjoyed by the sopho
mores. If the AqAperclassinen

morning, they should be alloAved
to go to tOAvn immediately after
their classes.”
The Legislative Body rejected
the petition that “All students be
alloAved to leave for spring holi
days on March 20 after classes
and return on the 28 instead of
