Missionaries Spend
Week At Mars Hill
Spoke In Classes, Chapel And
Religious Services.
Students of Mars Hill cam
pus hove been made more
conscious of the challenge that
the world presents to Christian
youth as it looks toward a rift
in the clouds that now over
shadow the nations. Repre
sentatives of the Southern Bap
tist Mission Board present on
the campus this week were Dr.
J. Hundley Wiley, Richmond,
Virginia, and Dr. J. B. Hipps,
Asheville, who have labored
together in China for many
years. Miss Susan Anderson,
Haversham County, Georgia,
and Dr. Dewey Moore, Mary
land, have worked in Nigeria,
Africa, and in Italy, respec
tively.
Beginning on Sunday eve
ning at the church service and
continuing through Friday eve
ning, these missionaries ap
peared on the chapel pro
grams, spoke at daily prayer
services, held seminar groups,
and lectured in classes,
appealing to the highest and
best that is in young men and
women.
The numerous talks which
we have heard from these
missionaries hove helped to
give us an insight into the
attitudes of people of other
countries toward problems
which concern us all. Dr.
Dewey Moore, for instance, re
lated that the Italians were
very reluctant to fight the
Greeks, since they felt that the
Greeks were practically fellow
countrymen.
Returning only in recent
months from Europe, Asia, and
Africa, these missionaries have
made clear to us many con
ditions which we are not able
to gather from mere news re
ports. They have left with us
the realization that only by
gaining an understanding of
the peoples whom they repre
sent, by co-operating with
them, and by sharing with
them our great Christian
heritage can we hope to live
in a world of peace.
Nonpareils Hold
Annual Reception
♦
ChrietimTS Is Theme
Of Programs
The bells chimed forth the
Christmas carols sending
wishes of joy, to all who drew
near the science building
Saturday, De'^ember 5. As the
guests walked through the
pine tree arch, lighted on either
side by the rosy glow of old
fashioned lanterns, they en
tered the living room of an old
English home at Christmas
In front of the blazing fire
played two children, Hannah
Brown Blackwell and Spencer
King, III. Dangling stockings
hung from a mantel bedecked
with greenery. On the left of
the fireplace was a Christmas
tree glittering in all of its tin
soiled glory.
The first stairway present
ed an Eastern city in the heart
of the mountains guarded by
an angel. All was an emblem
of dignity and peace.
Then the guests passed
through the second floor hall
which was decorated by pic
tures covering the walls. Each
picture was typical of old Eng
lish countryside at Christmas.
The Clio-Phi landing showed
a girl coming through a forest
in the light of the moon to meet
a boy who was cutting wood
for the open fireplace.
Programs of entirely dif
ferent natures were presented
in the two society halls.
Eleanor Israel, vice-president
of Nonpareil, gave the wel
come in the Clio-Phi hall where
an operetta on Christmas day
was presented. The ?cene was
the banquet room of dn Eng
lish castle and joviality was
supplied by well-wishing fre
quenters of the castle. The
operetta. Ye Olde Christmasse
Masque by William Bain, was
directed by Eloise Autrey and
Mozelle Gross.
Grace Westmoreland, presi
dent of Nonpareil, presented
the welcome in the Non-Eu
hall where a dramatization of
the Christmas story was woven
