Baptist State Convention To Discuss
Advance Needs Among Junior Colleges
The one hundred thirteenth annual session of the North Carolina
Baptist State Convention will convene on November 15-17 in Ashe
ville, with the First Baptist Church and the City Auditorium being
used as meeting places. ' °
Twenty-five hundred messengers from churches all over the state
will hear, on Tuesday, Dr. C. G. Deane, president of the Convention
and a former member of Congress, give the opening message. In the
afternoon, a report will be given by the Committee on the Advance
Needs of the Baptist Colleges.
Varied Themes Spur
BSU Convention
The mam characters in “The Cave Dwellers” are shown above sitting
around the table eating their meager dinner as they make plans to
entertain one another with bits from their lives before coming to the
abandoned theatre. Left to right they are the King, John Morrow: the
Queen, Feriel Forbus; the Duke, Bill Deans; and the Girl, B. J Boling
“Committed to His Lordship”
was the theme for the BSU Con
vention held in Winston-Salem
the past weekend. There could
not have been a more needed sub
ject for discussion.
Dr. Dale Moody, a dramatic
speaker with a mastery of effective
gestures, drew a parallel between
the situation in Paul’s day and
conditions today. Among the
points mentioned were sexual im
morality, race hatred, religious
friction over minor points, and
general laxness in morals.
Speaking to the topic “Christ’s
Lordship in My Life,” Dr. John
McClanahan gave a dramatic
monologue supposedly spoken by a
person present at the birth of
Christ who did not realize his
identity until his crucifixion.
“Campus Christianity” was the
topic of Mr. Howard Bramlett’s
talk. It was filled with pertinent
and practical points applicable to
student situations.
'For his second address Dr.
Moody spoke on “The Importance
of Missions”. After his vivid por
trayal of world needs and oppor
tunities a commitment period was
held during which many expressed
their interest in mission work and
re-dedicated their lives to Christ’s
cause.
“And Now What?”
Dr. Jack Noffsinger spoke at
the last session of the convention
on the pertinent subject “And
Now What?” He emphasized the
fact that attendance at the con
vention should have some results
after one went away.
A fellowship period, faculty and
student luncheons, and discussion
groups conducted by religious
leaders of the area were features
of the convention. Music was
furnished by the state BSU Choir
and the choir of Winston-Salem
Teachers College.
On Saturday evening at 10:00
P.M. the former Mars Hill stu
dents now at Wake Forest College
entertained all former and present
students of Mars Hill. Eellow-
ship in singing, talking, and eat
ing was enjoyed by all. Especially
gratifying were the words of praise
for Mars Hill that were voiced
by each of the old grads.
The fifty students who were
able to go to the convention wish
to thank everyone responsible for
making the trip possible and wish
particularly to express our grati
tude to Dr. Pierce for being so
very faithful to the BSU at all
times.
It is expected that the Con
vention will study the needs of
the seven Baptist colleges in the
state in the light of long-range
programs and then make recom
mendations. It is thought that
the group will make a recom
mendation for the largest ex
penditure for Christian Educa
tion in its history, over forty-five
million dollars.
Of this amount Mars Hill
would conceivably be allotted
six million. The seven Baptist
schools are expected to use the
projected funds to provide for
expanding enrollment approxi
mately 50 per cent. Mars Hill’s
enrollment on that basis would
increase to approximately 1800.
A highlight of the convention
will be a dinner on Tuesday
night on the lower floor of the
auditorium for the alumni of
the seven Baptist colleges. A
large number of the Mars Hill
faculty and staff expect also to
be among the 800 attending. The
dinner is sponsored by the Coun
cil on Christian Education, and
Mr. Claude Gaddy, executive
secretary of that agency, will be
in charge.
Other than an occasion for
fellowship, the dinner will also
give an opportunity to boost
the special report on Advance
Needs. The report will be acted
upon on Wednesday morning.
On Thursday morning, at the
final session-of the Convention,
the messengers will hear an ad
dress by Billy Graham at 11:30.
The Mars Hill College Choir,
under the direction of T. J.
Cole, will sing on Monday after
noon and evening at the First
Baptist Church and on Wednes
day evening at the meeting in
the City Auditorium.
