Eenyon, Trying The Impossible Lincoln said “You can please all the people some of the time and some of the people all the time, but you cannot please all the people all of the tune. In the modern world today the executives realize the truth in Lincolns words. Here on Mars Hill campus one finds to evolve from ^is is Why should one desire to please all of the people all the time?” One should take his stand for the right and forget the ridicule of the rnajority should it be against him. One frequentlv finds the majoritv to be wrong. ' ^ ^ There must be warnings echoed to those who would seek to take their stand for the right in the modern world in spite of the sure opposition. First, one must know that his stand is right. One should make his choice without fear of consequences. “To thine ownself be govern’ him^^Th’ favoring the laws which govern him. The individual by voting, chooses one to represent him m law making. Since it is necessary to have state and federal laws for happy orderly living it ,s the duty of each citizen to abide by and stand for the laws of the nation. Third, one should take a stand which benefits mankind. Again, one need not agree with or please he majority, but steps should be made toward a^ny measure tharS or the good of all.

The girls especially were treated with all the grandeur that they could wish. You see, Mr. Philpott, su perintendent of the Sunday School, and a furniture dealer, took his family to their summer home on the lake and turned over the keys of his luxurious mansion to Dr. Pierce and the six girls from Mars Hill. As though the television, the carpets thick as dormitorj^ mattresses, and the beautiful Cadillac parked m the driveway were not enough, the Philpotts left their butler to serve the girls bacon, sausage, and grits from silver platters. Oh, yes, on Sunday morning they all climbed into that Cadillac and went to church with the Philpotts. The boys got only occasional tastes of this unaccustomed luxurj'’. Naturally there were meetings and meetings! What else is a con ference for ? Some were higher lights than others. Robert S. Denny, chairman of the Youth Committee of the Baptist World Alliance, pictured the thrills to be had by joining a group of stu dents on a plane trip culminat ing with attendance at the World Alliance meeting in London, Tulv 16-22. The trip includes a six weeks guided tour all over Europe —well, practically all over anyway. Paris, Italy, the Alps, Germany, London, the Shakespeare countiyq and Scotland are on the itinerary.
