To some people it means the coming of spring and leaving behind the harshness and bleakness of the winter; to others it means the “Easter parade” and a chance to discard the heavy clothes of cold weather and don something liighter and prettier; to the children it means the coming of the Easter bunny and Easter egg hunts; while to Christians Easter is the celebration of the resurrection of Jesus Christ. It brings them to a fresh realization of the sacrifice He made on the cross for them and the true meaning of Easter. But still, there is a deeper meaning to Easter than all of these. Easter is a time to look into our own hearts and see if Christ has arisen there. Has He had a chance to rise or has He been buried in a deep tomb of selfish ness, conceit, neglect, hatred and prejudice? He is there in everyone’s heart, but in many of them His presence is not realized and His glory can not be seen because the darkness of self-righteousness has hidden it. Have you looked into your own heart to see if you could find Him? Have you tried to help Him triumph over the foes which have buried Him? You are the only person who can take Him from His grave in your life; so why not make this Easter a true Easter in your life as well as in the rest of the Christian world. HiHttp Smeim Inter frea ErSUest It Bio Recently the editor of The Hilltop received the fol lowing letter from a former student, who is engaged in audio-visual education in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Dear Mr Moody, “Thanks a million” for The Hilltop of December 4, 1948. You will have to do without The Hilltop for some 9 years, and then have one arrive like that one did to really appreciate the thrill that I received. The news of the dining hall, together with the other campus news was a real joy to this alumnus of 1939. Naturally, “there’s been some changes made” since then, but I note that the paper is coming out in the fine style that it has served students and alumni throughout the years. However, I did miss the “scandal column” of yesteryear. Maybe I’m just getting antiquated, and that column “went out with the bustle.” Anyhow, I did enjoy the whole paper. Please extend my personal thanks, and sympathy to the Circulation Manager. That was my task for several issues! One more question: Is the Mr. Marr, manager of the Student Center, the John Marr who operated the “Va riety Store” “way back when?” if he is, would you de liver my “sediments” to him, and tell him I said “Hello.” If not, DON’T MENTION THIS TO HIM!! This letter is getting too long for a busy editor, but I just wanted you to know that I sincerely appreciated The Hilltop, and the fine work you and your fellow workers are doing. Cordially yours, James P. Kirk. More Than You Think What’s in a name? Quite a lot when it comes to some Mars Hillians’ names. We have a BARBER as well as HAIRE, MILLER with OATES and RICE, FOX for the HUNTER, CARPENTER and WOOD, and COATES for the TAYLOR, besides COOK, MASON, FISHER, and BAKER. Did you ever have a PAYNE that’s AIKEN? or pickles that are SWEET or DILLS? They say March comes in like a LYON; do you think it’ll go out like a LAMB? Just as surie as a BRIGHT DAY follows KNIGHT, you’re sure to enjoy MAXWELL house COFFEY. We have a LITTLE at Mars Hill, but then we also have someone that’s BIGGERS. Did you know that only SHARPE PEOPLES can solve a STRANGE RIDDLE? It seems that everyone is looking forward to spring holidays. We can’t help you out much on that, but we have a MAY, and FALLS, and a SUMMER, which is something we can look forward to also. Have you noticed a POOLE on the campus? with maybe a DRAKE or a SWANN? Well, to end this good thing, we must add that Mars Hill is a very colorful college with BLUE, OLIVE GREEN, BROWN, WHITE, and GRAY floating around the campus. Remember, a WORD to the SMART is sufficient. Take a look at your name. It might mean MOORE than you think. % Colley (ACP) Professor Harold Larrabee has dedicated the following “ifs” to college professors: If he plants an occasional joke in his lectures, he’s a comedian. If he neVer condescends to an academic nifty, he’s duty dull. If he goes to chapel with regularity, he’s a hypocrite. If he shies at sermons he’s a heathen. If he hands out plenty of high grades, he has no stan dards. If he hands out plenty of low grades, he’s a butcher. If he uses notes, he’s unoriginal. If he gets along without notes, he’s an ad-libber. If he sticks to his specialty, he’s got a one-track mind. If he tours the encyclopedia, he’s a show-off. If he stands up while teaching, he’s oratorical. If he sits down while teaching, his feet hurt. If he gives a lot of quizzes, he’s a slave-driver. If he seldom gives a test, he’s too lazy to read papers. If he’s on good terms with the president he’s a syco phant. If he doesn’t wear out the stairway from the Ad Build ing, he’s disloyal. When Revival Service Ends, Don’t Forget Revival services are over! Does that mean that the revival is over in our hearts? Does that mean that we may now return to living the luke-warm Christian lives that we lived before? It certainly does not. Now, more than ever, we must be on our guard about how we live. We must remember that those who did not at tend the revival are going to be watching us—watching to see if our lives were truly blessed; and if they were, watching to see if our lives will become a blessing to God.’ Now is the time to enroll in the “laboratory of Chris tian experience” to which Dr. Caudill referred several times. Now is the time to begin preparation for the mission field, for work among the underprivileged of the homeland, for the ministry of the gospel, for the living of those lives which were dedicated to God, not as paid workei-s in the church, but as full-time Christian laymen. Those people who have rededicated their lives will not find the road away from old companions and ways an easy one to travel; but if they are sincere in the dedication, they will find that it is a necessary road. We must not allow ourselves to slip back into the same “slipshod” way we lived before God poured His blessings upon us.
