Seven years ago it was thought that the building was even too large, and now the religious organizations are cramped. These organizations have made a rapid growth; hence, if the progress is kept going, more room is needed. Dr. J. R. Jester of Winston-Salem, N. C.; Dr. R. J. Bateman, Asheville; Rev. W. R. Bradshaw, Morganton; and Rev. S. W. Bennett of Granite Falls were here on Tuesday, Oct. 12, as a committee from the State Mission Board in reference to building a new house of worship or remodeling the present one. We have realized and kept on our hearts the fact that the con ditions must be changed. At frequent intervals during he past two years, the pastor remarked that we are a very polite people; one stays away in order to leave room for the other one; accord ingly benches are left vacant at the preaching services. We are hoping that in the near future a church auditorium and Sunday School rooms will be built sufficiently large to accommodate the community and school. The Inter-Board Commission of the Southern Baptist Convention has pro moted student conferences for two years in regional groups and for the past two years in state student con ferences. The five-year program of work among Baptist students in the South is to head up in a Southwide Baptist Student Conference to be held in Birmingham, Alabama, Oct. 28 to 31, with a program calculated to con serve and to direct along right lines the energies of our students in the South. This Is the • greatest opportunity of a student generation. Some of the great est speakers of the nation, both stu dents and adults are to be present and take active part at this confer ence. In answer to the question as to why students should go to this conference, we find that there are two things especially desired: Inspiration and practical suggestions as to how we can further Christian work on our campus. Under the guidance of the greatest leaders, students will be in spired to do greater work in religious activities, and will catch a vision of the religious needs of colleges. It will present to us practical suggestions as to how we can further Christian work on our own campus. The stu dents of different colleges will be able to solve problems together. A minimum quota of 125 representa tives from North Carolina, and 15 from Mars Hill are expected to be present. It is hoped that not only the quota will be reached, but also that a large number of others will go. It is certain that the delegates who are planning to go will represent Mars Hill very efficiently, and that each will receive a great Inspiration and bring back to our campus all the highest ideals of a conference of that nature.

MARS HILL 0, OAK RIDGE 0 Mars Hill students should be proud of their team. Playing one of the hardest teams on our schedule to a scoreless tie. Oak Ridge is reputed to have the strongest Prep School team in the state. The game played at Winston-Salem on October 9th, was a fast, hard fought game. The game was a punting duel between Suggs of the Mars Hill team and Savage of the Oak Ridge. The Winston-Salem Journal says Suggs was the best kicker ever seen in a Prep School game in Winston-Salem. The time and the place of the second game with Oak Ridge has not been set. Students, when you pass one of the members of the team, tell them that WE are depending on THEM to fight for that game and that we are backing •'hem. Let’s give our boys a good send-off when they go to play Ten nessee Wesleyan at Athens, Tenn., Saturday, October 23rd. I knew I had been very bad; My conscience hurt me so. Therefore, I feared the time had come When homeward I would go. “Who was that girl I saw you kiss Last night out on the green? That was a very naughty trick , The worst I’ve ever seen.’’ ‘Oh teacher, please don’t deal too rough. Forgive I do insist. You surely know it’s very hard The fair ones to resist.’’ “I did.not mean to scare you so; I now the truth must tell. I knew the girl whom you were with. Her sister’s name is Nell.” “Nell is the apple of my eye, The one for whom I live. A thousand times this world, and more. For her I’d surely give.” Tour punishment, my boy, is this, I will not treat you wrong. Next time when with your girl you stroll . Please bring her 'Sis’ along.’ ’ GREETINGS, MISS KELLY It seems pleasingly natural to have the little white-dressed lady on the campus again. For several weeks she has been ill. Those who know her are extremely happy to see the college nurse on duty. She ministers to our ails with care. At times the medi cine seems severe, but it usually cures. Miss Kelly is a nurse of the highest type; she is genuine. We appreciate somewhat, but not enough, the sacrifice she is making by staying with us. Just as other teachers labor in denomina tional schools for less income, so does she. The student body and community love Miss Kelly dearly. “I’ll meet you at the old oak tree. And there is where we’ll part. For each of us will have the one That’s dearest to his heart.” —Geo. T. Greenway. Prof. Stringfleld; If I should cut my finger from my hand, would it in any way bring back memories of Na poleon? Horace Crawford; Don’t know. Would it? Prof. Stringfleld: Sure. Wouldn’t it bo a bone apart. In every man’s mind there is a trace of desire—maybe it is curiosity—^to know what his influence is upon his asociates. He also wishes to know the fellows and understand them, as well as to be known and understood by them. What value is a friend whom we cannot understand? The friend whose attitude continually bewilders us is not the one to whom we go with our worst disappointments, our deep est sorrows, our greatest joys, nor our highest aspirations. When there is no certainty In our mind about the char acter of our acquaintance, we can not feel well at ease in his presence. We do not express our thoughts freely un less we know, or think we know, the hearer. Neither can there be so great an intimacy when we feel that our friend does not know nor understand us. He is not a congenial acquaintance whose confidence in our Integrity of speech, our sincerity of purpose, and our pur ity of ideals we doubt. Again we de sire to know that we are not misun derstood. The author gave a true ex pression of all our thoughts when he wrote “Not Understood.” The pleas ures which human society holds in store, for the race are largely with held from the man who feels that he neither knows nor is known. There is a way, though, for us to realize the joys life has to offer. As sociation with the fellows does mean much to us. Men have learned how to live in such a way as to win men’s confidence. Men have learned how to understand each other. The more fully man knows these things, the better he is fitted for the enjoyment of life’s pleasures and for the performance of life’s duties. Consequently men have learned to profit greatly by personal contact with each other. The secret of happiness, such as society holds for us, is revealed to those who come in contact with the Supreme Ruler of the universe. It is in His mirror that we see ourselves as individuals of so ciety. It is through a divine plan that we obtain happiness and develop ap preciation for the association of others. Then, let us see ourselves as we are; let us build characters in which we ourselves have the utmost confidence and which we know ad mits of no question; and let us steer clear of those things that are apt to bring adverse criticisms. The greatest aid to happiness is finding your place of service to your follow man and filling that place. There is little or no interest to me in the field of Greek literature. The same is true of most of our people. The Greek literature may be very beauti ful to those who have found their place in the study of it. On the other hand, many Americans have found their places in the field of English and American literature, and there they EXCHANGE M How tragical for Hill Top readerss: to scurry past this column in eageljc quest for the “jokes.” We long that this department may give our readersw a glimpse of other papers as well as^ our own. We exchange with other ol schools so that our publication defects^j may be criticised. The exchange editor is in a critical position, because it is difficult to crlti- tl else and properly acknowledge all ex- i: changes. However, distant readers and editors, if your publication is not mentioned other than in general ac- knowledgemenL grumble not, nor con- L demn the editor unappreciative. 1 The Hill Top is young; hence our ^ exchanges are few. but we hope that p you will contribute in multiplying the h number for the next issue. ^ a We gratefully acknowledge the fol lowing exchanges: Chowanian, Chowan College; Old Gold and Black, Wake Forest College; The Orange and Pur ple, Carson-Newman College; The Leco-.Echo, E.

Do our hearts grow faint with sorrow For the load that’s ours to bear; Does our courage seem to falter And our souls sink in despair? No, dear friends, such gloom can never From our tasks our souls dissever; We will meet like men and challenge, And through serving live forever. —R. P. C. TOUCHDOWN! O! Isn’t it thrilling to think of one? What happy feelings when the ball lands beyond the goal line with a Mars Hll fellow covering it! Now, who did the honorable deed? First thing you know there is a “re, rah, rah” or a “2-4-6-S, whom do we appreciate!” given to laud either the half, the full, or the quarterback. He is due praise, too much can’t be placed upon him; but at the same time it should be re membered that he alone could never do the act. “Who did it? Who did it?” many of them ask. The answer is that teamwork did it. One-half of the spectators never see a thing that the center, guards, tackles .and ends do. Please, the next time you see a touchdown made, won’t you think of one fellow’s carrj-lng the ball and of the other ten’s working together for his good and for the good of that old team? The men of the line rarely ever handle the ball but it is true theirs is an Important part of every dwell on the wonders of the language, game.
