The plan of the Convention was
educational and and a beauty to
j( l>€hold. The theme, “My Life—His
5t| Plan—Our Mission” was gradually
o(i developed lifting the delegates
I higher and higher until each stood
I e*! the very “Mountain-top” of
Christian Experience and com-
' bunion with the Lord. This com-
'*uiion resulted in self-surrender
the dedication of lives to His
^e, ®'fvice.
The four days at Auburn were
ones—lectures; discussion
^oups; forums; visual aids; Bible
study j Worship; Firesides and
Recreation not to mention the
^*^iendly reunions and “Dormitory
R^rties.” If the question were
*eked, “What was the one most
Outstanding event of the Conven-
iit ^ion,” it would most likely be, ‘ The
c«i Music.” The Austin College Choir
Uuder the direction of Wayne Bed-
^Ufd, Professor of Music, Austin
College, Sherman, Texas, furnish-
0^ the music. But the Congrega
tional Singing afforded the most
'’'Worshipful experiences as 1700
'woices united in one purpose—to
Ps^aise and worship God.
Outstanding of course were the
discussions of the World Situation
®Ud place of youth in this present
Roaergency. Dr. Leber of the Pres-
i^yterian Church, U. S. A., chal-
icnged all to mission by proclaim
ing the failure of this generation
and the g;eneration before him in
their mission of ‘“World Brother
hood.” “Science indeed has united
the world materially. Telephones,
ladios, trains, planes, ships, etc.,
^e eliminated geographical anc
^Vsical barriers. Mankind is to-
, day united in a most tragic way—
tragic because mankind does not
I Rnown how to live together. Evi
j Ranees of failure are everywhere,’
Said Dr. Leber.
1 “Man stands today broken with
their fallen fairylands and false
dreams. Today is an era of fear
and anxiety resulting from the
failure of our man-made ideas
and thinking.
We have failed to preserve a
Pure democracy. Other peoples
of the world do not want our
pattern of democracy. They see
our capitalism, labor problems
crooked politics, racial tension
and our unchristianized America,
and shrink from its so called
democratic principles.
The gospel has not been car
ried far enough.Christ is the
Prince of Peace but first He is
The Great Disturber. He cannot
bring peace in a human heart
until that heart is cleansed of
sin and that life surrendered to
Him. The Spirit of God demands
inward purity and cleanliness,
whether it be in an individual
heart or in a community and na
tion. Christianity demands equal
ity and certain moral standards.
We so called Christians have
quenched the cleansing Spirit of
God by compromising with the
forces of evil. We have failed to
be an adequate channel through
which the Holy Spirit can work.
We have lost our sense of human
shame. We have lost the sense
of value of human life. These
are marked evidences of moral
decay.
The Mission of Youth in face of
;hese failures must be the same
as then “a crisis of FAITH.” We
must create a new Missionary zeal
as forceful as that of the early
Christians. This zeal must be
aflame with the Spirit of Christ—
if need be to the extent of suffer
ing and persecution. We must pro
claim “Christian Hope” in a world
of secular disenchantment. We
must proclaim the unity of Chris
tian brotherhood in “The Universal
Church.” We must possess a
“S E N S E OF U R G E N C Y” —
YOUTH MUST ACT NOW FOR
GOD.”

Queens Student
Finds Answer
To Popular Song
The other day a fine arts stu
dent ran across the noun “acrolith”
in her reading; and being too lazy
to consult a dictionary, she began
asking her companions what an
“acrolith” was. No success! So just
for diversion’s sake, she asked the
following people what they would
do if they were suddenly given an
“acrolith.” Now if you’re like me
and don’t know what in-the-name-
of-goodness an “acrolith” is, you
may be interested in the answers
she got:
1. Deanie Berryhill—would give
it to Mr. Ovens to show Queen’s
appreciation on receiving his gift.
2. Sara Claire Little: I’d use it
as a gavel.
3. Florence Ashcraft: I’d give it
to Gene, Naturally!
4. Catherine Edgerton: I’d throw
it in Diana.
5. Dell Martin: Put it in Chow
Mein to add zest.
6. Mr. Norman: Put it in a box
and put it out to sea.
7. Lucy Guion: Make friends
with it and take it home.
8. Miss West: Drop it—in the
nearest post office box.
9. Mac: Give it to Valkyrie so we
could pawn it and pay for our
annual picture.
In case anyone is interested, our
trusty comrade, Mr. Webster, says
an “acrolith” is “a statue whose
extremities are of stone.” Well
what about that!
Why Does
It Happen?
That when you walk a half mile
to answer the phone it’s never for
you.
That on the morning when your
room is checked it is the messiest.
That Monday morning your mail
box is always empty.
That you wish you were blind
when you meet your blind date.
That after you figured out scien
tifically when there is no line in
the day student cafeteria—you end
up waiting thirty minutes.
That you get six offers for dates
for the week end you plan to be
away.
That your hair is the straightest
on the day you’re scheduled to have
your picture made.
That all parallel reports and
tests are scheduled for the same
day.
That you remember to attend ev
erything else but conference.
That an overflowing mail box
yields only bills and postal cards.
That the only day you read your
assignment the instructor doesn’t
call on you.
CHAPTER
CHATTER
The Alpha Gamma Deltas were
pleased and surprised to return
after the holidays to a newly paint
ed house. We are happy to start
our Friday night fellowships again.
Very soon, when we have com
pleted our repairs, we are making
plans for a big spring cleaning
after which we are planning to
have a big party.
The Chi Omegas went home for
Christmas in a holiday mood after
having attended an active-pledge
party at the chapter house and an
alumnae-active party at the home
of Mrs. Mary Spenae Sarrebonne.
We were happy to have Miss Tarl-
ton our faculty advisor and Mrs.
Henry F. Knoll, the alumnae chap
ter president present at our active-
pledge party. We are especially
proud of our first publication of
the Panorama Of Theta Gamma,
a Chi Omega newspaper, giving
pledge, active, and alumnae news.
Holly Lambdin is the editor and
Lynn Campbell, the assistant edi
tor. The enthusiastic reception of
the paper by all Chi O’s will make
it an annual feature of Theta
Gamma.
