The Department Of Bible And
Religious Edueation
The animal Founder’s Day was
I observed at Queens college Saturday,
January 15, 1940. Dr. Walter I..
I Lingle, president of Davidson col
lege, was guest speaker for the
I occasion.
Dr. Lingle began his address by
tracing the history of the college
I from its founding in 1770 as Queens
Museum, a name which denotes a
j temple of art, music, poetry, and
other subjects of learning. The
founders of Queens, he said, estab
lished in the college’s name the jirin-
ciples which they expected the edu
cational institution to uphold. They
believed that religion coupled with
I learning forms a well rounded edu
cation. “Learning and religion go
j together, and no institution can get
along without a combination of the
I two,” he declared.
Founder’s Day was described by
Dr. Lingle as a good time to take
I stock of the objectives of an institu
tion, its faculty and its students.
Colleges, he said, are trying to give
each student a rich storehouse of
I 'nformation and knowledge, to have
them see and appreciate the finest
[ and best in life, to stir up in them
he desire to he something or do
I something, and to develop i\ Chris
tian personality, which is a result of
j constant contacts with other Chris
tian personalities.
The first objective of an institu
tion like Queens college is to train
Christian leaders for the home, so-
J ciety, school, church, and the gen-
I eral social order, declared Dr. Lin
gle. “A beautiful Christian liome
s the most beautiful thing this side
I of Heaven,” he added.
Christian colleges are more able
I to send out to the world good Chris
tians than other institutions because
they can demand certain character
istics in the faculty, students and
curriculum. They ean demand that
the members of the faculty he Chris
tians, they ean build Christianity
into the curriculum, and they can

day as they were to the Romans,
Corintliians, Ephesians, and Phillip-
ians, and as much to us as indivld

James and John
All loose ends of life are brought
':ogether, thus, being woven into a
complete and beautiful whole which
radiates Christ from the center. Anx
ct,v, incompetency, failure, fear, anc
many other disruptions to personal
ty and the abundant life can be
erased with poise, confidence, pa-
ience, and a wholesome personality
■^aking their rightful place. Take a
peek into Peale’s book, YOU CAN
WIN, found on the department re
serves in the library.
The Bible student bas varied op
portunities for displaying ability
for creative work. In the depart
ment this year a group of students
are constructing a tabernacle, lift-
ng the dimensions right out of the
Old Testament to set up the mod-
rn place of worship. The Book
of Esther is being transformed into
20th century drama. Combined proj-
cts on the Book of Genesis have
proven very stimulating. Then, of
course, you remember, the beautiful
musical program based on the Psalms
given in chapel by one class.
The atmosphere of purposefulness
and sincerity in religion which per
vades in our classrooms is due in
no small way to the fine eharacter
and personality of each of our Bible
instructors. Dr. Gettys presents the
philosophy, the psychologj^ the facts,
and the truths of the scriptures in
a dynamic, vivid and realistic way.
He makes them so real that they
become a part of any' one who stud-
es with him. Mrs. Byrd’s philosophy
of a practical application of the
scriptures in our lives is illustrated
by' the splendid example of her own
life. Such instructors mean much
to a Bible department.
