SEVENTH STREET
CHURCH NOTES.
By Miss Marie S. Lindsay
Sunday morning, just at the
hour our pastor was to preach
to us, he was afflicted with a
hoarseness which prevented him
from speaking.
Dr. R. L. Douglass spoke
to us for a short while from the
15th Psalm, “Lord, who shall
abide in thy tabernacle? who
shall dwell in thy holy hill? He
that walketh uprighty and work
eth righteousness, and speaketh
the truth in his heart ?”
Seemingy the Heavenly Fath
er put it into Dr Douglass to
speak from the same subject
our pastor had outlined to
preacn on.
Sunday night Mr. L. C. Alex
ander spoke to us from John 5:
40, “And; ye will not come unto
me that ye might have life."
An earnest appeal was made
to the various clubs Sunday by
the chairman of the deacon’s
board to get to work and raise

THOMAS JOHNSON, NOTED
TENOR, TO APPEAR AT
i JOHNSON C. SMITH
UNIVERSITY.
Much interest is centering
'around the coming of Thomas
Johnson to the University on
Mdnday evening, March 15. Mr.
Johnson is a 1926 graduate of
the New England Conservatory
and Baa already given his grad
ating recital. This recital has re
ceived the wannest praise from
Boston critics. Mr. Johnson is
one of the outstanding tenors of
the race. In speaking of his abil
ity as a singer one must resort
to the use of superlatives. He
has been acclaimed by press,
pulpit and public wherever he
has gone. He is not only a thor
ough musician, but a highly cul
tured and educated gentleman.
An opportunity seldom offered is
given the citizens of Charlotte
in the coming of this singer to
the University. The admission
price remains the same as for
other recitals.
JOHNSON C. SMITH UNI
VERSITY NOTES.
By A. H. Prince.
Religious services last Satur
day and Sunday evenings were
conducted by Rev. A. P. Corley,
Superintendent of the Boarding
Department.
Mr. and Mrs. 6. C. Higsbee,
'of Marquette, Michigan, and
Prof, and Mrs. R. W. Boul
ware, of Harbison College, Irmo,
S. C., were very pleasant visit
ors on the campus last week.
They were present at devotion
als last Friday morning and
brief remarks were made by
Mrs. Higsbee and Prof. Boul
ware. They motored to Scotia
Women’s College, Concord, on
Friday and returned here on Sat
urday. Mr. and Mrs. Higsbee
were present also at devotionals
on Saturday evening. Mrs.
Higsbee manifests deep interest
in our work throughout the
South, having been at one time
closely connected with the
work.
The Philosophy Club met last
Tuesday evening in the Library
basement. The topic for the
monthly meeting was, “Malthus’
Theory oi Population,” treating
of the relation of food sup
ply to the reproductive in
stinct. The discussion was led
by Mr. D. A. Costner, of the Jun
ior Class.
The Freshman Class rendered
a very intertsing program in
the Y. M. C. A. last Sabbath
morning before a large number
of students and members of the
faculty.
Rev. R. L. Moore, of Hunters
ville, was on the campus last
Sunday evening.
The University is welcoming
in advance the appearance of
Thomas Johnson, tenor singer Of
Boston, Mass., Monday the
15th. The Lyceum course thus
far has been the best ever pre
sented the students and friends
in Charlotte, and it is sure that
Mr. Johnson’s appearance will
further corroborate this fact
when his ability as a singer has
been shown.
Strenuous and continuous
“try-outs” are being made by
the aspirants. Coach Leach is
sparing no pains in the crucial
testing of his army. Soon the
process of elimination will be
gin and we shall know who
will win for the Gold and
Blue this year its rightful
place among the schools and
colleges. The first game will be
here on March 20th with A. &
T. College, of Greensboro.
UNIVERSITY QUINTETTE TO
BE AT FAIR VIEW SCHOOL.

PORTRAIT.
By George L. Allen, ’26
J. C. S. University.
Her eyes? dark pools of deepest
shade,
Like sylvan lakes that lie
In some sequestered forest
glade
Beneath a starry sky.
Her cheeks? The ripened chest
nut’s hue,—
Rich Autumn’s sunkissed
brown!
Caressed by sunbeams dancing
through
Red leaves that flutter down.
Her form? A slender pine that
sways
Before the murmuring breeze
In Summer, when - the south
wind plays
Soft music through the trees.
Herself? A laughing, joyous
sprite
Who smiles from dawn till dark,
As lovely as a summer night
And carefree as a lark.
CHURCH STREET, SALISBU
RY.
On last Sunday morning, our
beloved pastor, Rev. J. M. Mor

Why expect “Big Money” from your bus
iness when you don't invest any money
in it? It would be as foolish to expect a
rich harvest of wheat when you sow
oats. An investment of a small sum in
an attractive Sign will pay big dividends.
Think it over and let us hear from you.
