Dr. Albert Buckner Coc. pastor of Oak Park's First Congregational church, sermonised on The Power and the Glory. His thesis was a comparison of facts, which we know to exist, and the related pints, usually intangi- ble. For example, the Declaration of Independence was a remarkable fact, but its power and great glory lived long afterwards in the spir- itual interpretations of Lincoln. There is the fact of the Christian faith, that Christ lived and min- istered over 1,900 years ago in Palestine, that he was born in a manger and. died on the cross. This fact was the powerful inspi- ration for countless ixxiks through all ages, the erection of magnifi- cent cathedrals, and the glorious realization of Christian principles. The greatest scientists, such as Millikan and Compton, with the power of earthly knowledge, have consistently preached the presence, the glory, of an illimitabiy greater heavenly power. We arc not living Christianity, even in our democratically organ- ized society, as long as wc discrim- inate against Negroes, refuse to feed starving children from other countries, and value too highly the idea of national sovereignty. Dr. Coc summarized. An interesting feature of third urtcr offered to .«11 students by r George J. Dudycha head of e psychology department, was a ric of weekly lectures, offered rcry Thursday at 3:00 in his iissroom. The purpose of these lectures was to aid the students in selecting a vocation. .Dr. Dudycha gave ex- amples of various occupational op- portunities, not only in the field of psycliology, but in other fields as well. Hi ins Talks On Christian World On May 17 in convtxation, Rev. John S. Higgins, horn in London, educated in America, and pastor of the Minneapolis Gethsemane church, addressed students and fac- ulty on A Christian Map of the World. Prof. Chamberlain led the choir in Mendelssohn’s Lift Thine Eyes ; Dean Graham and Rev. Rowles read the scripture les- sons. Rev. Higgins commented on the unifying and inspiring effects of hymn singing. He then proceeded into his subject. The intelligent- sia is willing to criticize the Chris- tian view of life, although they do not know what it is. There is much unconscious atheism and agnosti- cism. due primarily to bewilder- ment. Most people today outside the Christian fellowship know so little about it that they are not competent to criticize it. Sometimes I think that Chris- tians are the only true pragma- tists. We don’t quarrel about the resurrection; wc are interested in the results. The power of the story is to be judged by its consequences, not by its style or structure. For example, ‘Uncle Toni’s Cabin’ was sentimental, but it told its story. The same is true of Dickens, not great literature, but profound in another sense. The Christian church ought to paint the whole world red, with the bhxxl from Emmanuel’s arter- ies. I am a little fed up with the ‘great, new world’ talk. Wc must try to change the people. Our new map of the world will have to be made without the use of guns. There is nothing to guarantee that we will have good sense, but when wc get through with this ghastly mess there will have to be some young men and women who are going to help in making a new map of the world. Speaker at convocation April 18 was Dr. Emory Luccock. pastor of Evanston's First Presbyterian church. His subject was the pres- ent Far Eastern situation and tlw problems that will rise from it in the future. Dr. Luccock was exceptionally fitted to discuss the problem of Japan, China, and our relations with them. As a missionary, con-' ductor of the Siangtan community and Shanghai American commu- nity church until 1938, he ob- served the Japanese and Chinese, and the tragic forces which finally precipitated our entrance into the wordl struggle. In the course of Ins speech, Dr. Luccock stated that the invasion of China tix k place because the Jap- anese militarists realized that they would either have to subjugate the Chinese people or China would be- come the dominant power in the Far East and thus supplant Japan. In addition to this there was a new type of liberalism appearing in their own country which they feared. They realized that they would hast; to create a situation of war so that the people would once more have to depend upon the mil- itarists. Always present is their be- lief in their destiny as rulers of the world, is their extreme nation- alistic and racial feeling. ANDERSON TALKS On COLLEGE NEEDS On Jan. 26, Dr. Paul Anderson, dean of Lawrence college, address- ed a college convocation. His sub- ject was The College Faces the Future. He pointed out that the citizens of this nation fall into three differ- ent categories regarding post-war conditions, not only in our own country, hut in the entire world. Fifteen per cent fall into the con- servative type, 15 per cent are Utopians, and the remaining 70 per cent are progressives. There are three ways for human Ivings to get along with their fel- lownien m this world, now that war has spread to its every comer. First of all, we could clear right out of the war, and forget about any other country. Secondly, wc could adojn the “go thou and do likewise” attitude, which would lead to some form of world-wide imperialism. The third alternative would he to .provide as much sov- ereignty as the people have the ability to administer and the de- sire to achieve.

Hey, gals, elf on you ain’t kought» yerself a date with a real live hootnan male for mgh onto muntks, this is yur chanct! Jedge Hangin Tolliver, Lonesome Polecat and Hairless Joe’re callin' the annexed Sadie Hawkins chase fer Sattiday, March forth, to begin close to sun up! Of course, as members of a na- tional journalistic fraternity they really assumed the dialect only as an aid to sell the tickets for their gala costume party. They further announced that this year all males in unyform will be el legible fer the chase—providin' they wear their fatygues which will be the order fer all well dressed Dis- patchers. Food'll be sirved at the Yunin Grill. The raggin of the jazz will be by Freddy Rodcncal and his Skunk Holler gang. According to the prescribed tra- dition the girls sent corsages of odd vintages and paid for all bills in- curred in the course of the even- ing. The event lived up to its gala advertising. Programs were minia- ture newspapers whose stories told of the woes of asking a man for a date. The dances were dedicated to the professors. Decorations were huge figures of the comic strip characters. Claire Kleinschmit was general chairman; Lou Minar and Dorothy Ncesc Evans were in charge of decorations; Doris Stockton headed the program com- mittee; Wanda Jean Ellis handled the arrangements for the food.
