“Rejoice ye pure in heart, rejoice,
thanks, and sing.” These were
the impressive strains of the open-
^iig hymn at tlie annual Youth Sun-
Service in the chapel at Saint
Clary’s.
Youth Sunday is a special Sunday
aside for young people to have
charge of the service. In many in-
^tances a special ofFering is taken for
Some missionary cause. Youth Sun
day gives an opportunity for young
people in churches, not only to hear
Ihose of their own age conduct- the
Service, but also to hear youths of
p^ay speak on topics concerning
^h r i s t i a n living in their own
thoughts and words.

IjO and read the first lesson. Margo

Dean Jones Expresses Need Of
Imaginative Giving At SMS
Dean Martha Dabney Jones spoke
to the student body in assembly, Oc
tober 2. Miss Jones began her talk
by telling an incident about Saint
Mary’s during the War Between the
States.
Very little food was to be had at
Saint Mary’s then. One Sunday
night the girls were fortunate
enough to have hot souj); liowever,
the “boys in Gray,” war-weary and
hungry, came to Saint Mary’s that
night during supper. The girls gave
their supper to them, illustrating
true generosity. Miss Jones stated
that generosity is not how much you
give or what you give, but liow much
you give iu proportion to how much
you have.
Today Saint Mary’s girls spend a
considerable amount of money on
cigarettes, cokes, and movies. How
much do they give to the Red Cross,
mite boxes, or to church on Sunday?
Very little. They are self-centered,
for they do not reach out to the
needs of others. They would give
up these self-indulgences if they saw
the needs immediately before them.
The needs, however, are distant, and
the girls do not have the imagina
tions to picture them. Unless they
see the needs before them, their
imaginations _ are selfish. These
selfish imaginations should be con
trolled. Miss Jones concluded her
talk by saying that Saint Mary’s
girls should feel “hunger and hurt”
in their Christian imaginations.
