YEAR BOOK, 1967 Page 7 EDITORIAL Alas ! In this frenzied pace set by the world today, it seems that we have, every minute of our lives, some ominous burden or pregnant fear. But we must remember that there are two days in every week about which we need not worry. These days should be carefree, relieved of all fear, guilt, suspicion and dismay. Yesterday has passed, never to be relived. Along with it die all the errors and blunders and all the pains and frets. Feelings of remorse are snulfed out altogether. The past is dead; what is done is done ; for no man can strike the clock tolling the hours that are lost. The second worry-free day is Tomorrow. Tomorrow can appear to be a foreboding giant or an insurmountable cliff in life. It can stimulate a fear that can drive men to madness or it can stimulate a lackadaisical attitude that can drive men to submission. But remember, our greatest fears are those which may never come to pass, for we might not even witness To- morrow ' s dawn. Resting between these two days is an ever-present day which we may call our own. Today is our own to reap a wealth of knowledge, profit, happiness, and accomplishment. Act — act in the present — Today ! Only this day is ours to utilize and profit by. Do Today ' s duties, fight Today ' s temptations, face Today ' s perils and live Today as though it were your last — to the fullest ! Anyone can bear the pains, burdens, disappointments and failures of just one day! Look after the present and God will forgive the past and will take care of the future. SANDRA SHAW, Editor

Page 8 THE BRANKSOME SLOGAN SUNDAY EVENING SERVICES It surprised us, when the content of our Sunday evening service devel- oped into a lesson in ' Thysics or ' ' Biology , and this occurred when we enjoyed having as our Guest, a Medical Doctor, or planned for the evening, a Moody Science Film, Hidden Treasures . Missionaries from India have caused us to be thankful for the good life which we on the North American continent enjoy — particularly when we think of the millions who have gone to bed hungry during this year of their famine. When the speaker is conversant with another language such as Spanish, our Spanish-speaking girls enjoy chatting in their native tongue, over a cup of coffee, served in her home by Miss MacNeill, in front of a blazing fire. We, in the Residences are frequently challenged by folk who have spent a Sabbatical year in another country, or have given three to four years of their lives in such areas as Zululand, South Africa. The Pathway Players of the Salvation Army (a Drama Group, who present the Christian Gospel in the idiom of the day) , are to be our guests and these, together with interesting and gracious people, who so willingly give of their time for our edification, interspersed with Hymn-sings around an open fireplace, contribute to our Sunday evening services of worship and praise. A report of these services would not be complete if the girls in the Resi- dences who, week by week, meet the demands that are made of them, reading or arranging the room in which the service is held, were ignored. Occasionally, too, a day girl favours us with her presence, and contributes by playing a musical instrument or singing.
