The same holds true with our chapel exercise. tWhy not have a VARIE-, TY? Say let the lady members of' the faculty lead exercises once in a while.

The editor has long been, and is now, as ardent a tennis fan as ever went to school at S. W. B. C., but if moving the court to some other place on the campus would l l I termed growing pains. The time is not far distant when S. W. B. C. will have to have a new building containing an auditorium large enough to seat all the people that want to come to such entertain- ments, and a gymnasium. 'The latter has been needed for several years and it would be a fine thing to have such a building located somewhere on the campus- say, probably on the north part. I JUNIORS GO ON PICNIC.

E r unitnr Vol. I. , Bolivar-, iiissom-1, ocrober- 6, 1923 I , No, 1 DR. C. B. MILLER DISCUSSES RELIGIOUS CONDITIONS ABROAD. Dr. C. B. Miller, pastor of the First Baptist Church, of Springfield, who has recently returned from Europe, gives several of his observaticns con- cerning religious conditions in the countries he visited. It is as follows: Leaving America on the afternoon of July 3rd, on the Swedish-American line, we found ourselves in company with about 25 delegates to the Stock- holm Convention--the World Baptist Congress. Another group of very in- Congress. Antoher group of very in- teresting and intelligent people was a commission sent by the Southern Commercial Congress to investigate some of the economic conditions of the Scandanavian countries. We -held- a rather unique Fourth of July cele- bration on boardthe boat, and Con- gressmen Upshaw and others spoke.. During our entire voyage, we held- a religious service every night. I. -It was my privilege to speak on three occas- ions on that journey. There was a very fine religious spirit amo-ngpthe. people. This commission that waslon board the boat had among thenfquitle 21 large number -of Baptists and other l l l i l i r 4 I l I I A I I l l. earnest Christians. The Swedish gov-+I ernment, out of respect for thelllaws Of this country, do not unseal what- ever liquors may be on board the boat on their return voyage. At the three mile limit, this liquor is put in under seal and is not taken out until they re- 'turn to their own country. There was no drinking. I saw one young man Who was under the influence of liquor 011 board the boat, and the spirit of the People 'was such, and the attitude of the people such, that he felt very keenly humiliated, I am persuaded, all the way over. He had carried some- thing aboard, and was really drunk Everywhere we went in all Europe, they were constantly asking about the success of prohibition. As you know, they had an election in Sweden not a great while ago, and the wets carried by a very small majority. The government controls the liquor inter- ests of that country, and you are Ipermitted, by sanction of the govern- ment, to buy only so much per month. I understand that this permit to pur- chase is given you, signed by the proper authorities, and you present this to any of the various .places where intoxicating liquors are sol.d, and when you get your amount that the government allows, you can no longer purhcase. I saw no dgunken- ness to speak of, in all Sweden, and they are very greatly interested in what they call our experiment in prohibition. Of course, they read their newspapers, and mostof them are not real friendly to our prohibition movement, and thelforefgn newspa- pers pick up everything they can pos- sibly' and that -would be udegrogatery to the movement, so the people are misinformed and misled, and lack in- telligent instruction. Manyof the people in Europe labor under the im- pression -that prohibition is an abso- lute, failure and that this 1 government- is practically bankruptlbecause of our recent enactment.. 'W e had Congress- -man Upshaw, a noted prohibition lec- I turer, with us, and 'in Gothenberg, Stockholm,. and Hin numerous other places he spoke, on the prohibition, question, andrin the' midst of our', World Baptist,-Congress, Congressman. Upshaw filled the largest Baptist church there, which '--would seat pro- bably 15,000 people, in his lecture on prohibition, and I have never heard a man applauded more roundly than was Congressman Upshaw on that oc- casion. I-Ie spoke at great length, through an interpreter. I have just this observation: If America can make good,.if America can actually enforce her lawsand she can, if you and I and every other man who is sup- posed to be a good, true, loyal Ameri- can can make good, it is only a matter of a few years until the whole world will be dry.

Also her sister, Miss Vivian, who is attending college this year. .......-v-f-5... A ,, --- I I iJOHN MAYES NEW STUDENT OVERNMENT PRESIDENT. i John Mayes, that noble gentleman from our sister state of Arkansas, was chosen Wednesday morning by the students of -Southwest Baptist College to be the new president of the Student Government Association. Mayes re- ceived a majority of only 20 votes -over his opponent, Orien Hendrex, which shows how hotly contested the campaign and election has been. Kathleen Abbott made a runaway. of the vice-presidency winn-ing by about a 2 to 1 margin over her oppon- ent, Argus Hooper. ' T a ' After the results were made known John' made' a thank you speech, complimenting the student body upon their 'choice and assuring them they made I no mistake in, so choosing., But, ,. says John, laying all jokes aside, Ifee1 the responsibility the studentsrhave just placed upon me and X' assure you that I will do my best to helplyrou' in making this a Bigger and ,Better Southwest Baptist Col- lege . , - .. - .. '-.0 Y -------f- FIDELISBOOST BUILDING FUND. ii IJast Monday evening the Fidelis class of the Baptist church entertain- ed about 140 people in the College auditorium to A Day iniSchool , and an old fashioned spelling bee. The school room scene was a scorcher. The teacher had no doubt been drilling his pupils for weeks and months, for the answers they shot back at him Cplus the paper wads and apple coresj could not have been given right on the spur of the moment with- out some previous thought. The program given on the last day of school was fine and thoroughly en- joyed by everyone. Then when the program was over the crowd was divided into halves and a test was given of our' spelling abil- ity. Just one word Hcompeer gave any trouble., the rest of the words being simple and easy. The crowd was then given a great big red apple and allowed to visit .. until they were ready to go home. a3liALEl:z7f-:.vn:,. i .1

,.- -Q ...N LET MCCRACK N if COLLEGE SOPHOMORE PICNIC. In .the afternoon and evening of last .Thursday the Sophomore class enjoyed the semi-annual picnic under the care of Prof. L. R. Richardson. After a morning of clouds and mist, the day tiirntcl out fair and the scattered nienibers of the class were brought together by various enthu- iastic Sophomores. ln three cars the class proceeded to the spring a half -mile nsrth of Burns, Missouri, and immediately began a scarmble up the bluff. The spring was quickly found. It had been prov- ided, by some thoughtful picnicker, w..th a trough to force the water into a fall. This spot being chosen as an ideal place for dinner the gang went on up the bluff and after much loss of wind and sundry patches of skin, reached the top. The view from here was a typical Oiark scene. To the north and south stretched- a small valley. Just opposite the blulf was a patch of green ard inuch specu- lation was made upon' its identity. lt was finally decided to the satis- faction of all that it inust be cocklt- burs. Then the descent began. Starting slowly it soon degenerated into a wild scramble for hand holds and if the incline had been long would sure- ly have ended disastrously. As soon as the gang could gather wood for a fire, cooking began, and the fragrance of roasling wienier and bacon ascended to the skies. Everyone was ravenous, that, is, besides John Mayes, who entertain- ed with singing and jokes while the roasting was going on. The latter, by the way, extended as much to the person as to the food. With this food were also potato chips, bananas, cookies, apples, mgirshrnallows in great quantity, and it was well that they were present in great quantities for 4th Door West Polk Co.

The seven o'clock rule by the faculty just having come into force the after dinner speeches ,were dispensed with and the party prepared to return. This was accom- plished with some difficulty, the spring being about halfway up the side of the bluif on a ledge. ,The writer made a hurried and almost pre- lcipitous descent.

Those present were Misses Ruth Chenoweth, Lois Shelton, Ann Wyatt, lRuth Page, Allene Hudson, Eula Turner, Mary Sanford Devin, and Messrs ,Earl Biven, John Mayes, Loyd Collins, Elmer Page, Prof. T.
