'I'lio college revival that begins Fri-

ough preparations arc heiug made
and a very large part of the Chris-
tian students are interested in it.

aie the men. Rev. .Mr. Cumbio has
attracted attention in Texas Lou-
isiana and New Mexico for the past
three years as an evangelist of un-
usual stronth and adaptibility.
Their first year in evangelist woik
was in New Mexico and during that
time more people were brought into
the churches under their leadership
than all of the other ministers of the
state combined. The past year more
than twenty-three hundred people
united with the chinches as a result
of the Crim-Cumbio meetings.
Mr. Cumbio who conducts the sing-
ing is no less resourceful than his co-
worker that preaches. As an organ-
izer of a choir he is very successful
and as a solosist he has few if any
superiors.
While these men were in school
they took an active part in college
activities. Mr. Crim won his letter
in football in each of the schools
while Mr. Cumbie won his in baseball.
They were active workers in the lit-
erary societies and Y. M. C. A. In
fact their college career throughout
was such it enabled them to get the
view point of the college man.
These men are now at Talpa Tex-
as and the following is what the local
paper "The Talpa Post" has to say
of them and the meeting they are
conducting:
"After one week of most wonder-
ful preaching in which the power of
God has been manifest in the physical
and mental make-up of man by giv-
ing hint strength sincerity courage
grace and power such as has never
been seen in this town before the re-
vival meeting is getting a hold on the
lives of all community and satan trem-
bles while the host of the redeemed
rejoice.
"Rebuking sin wherever it is found
in words that scorch with fiery ear-
nestness calling attention to the Great
God of Heaven who by his love alone
holds human souls out of hell by giv-
ing them time to repent painting a
picture of the dying Saviour on the
cross that caused the most hard heart-
ed to weep inwardly if not outwardly
proving by the liible that "He that
siuneth shall surely die either in the
Lord or in that place wheie eternal
night is made hideous by the weeping
wailing and gnashing of teeth." He
has given this old town something
that will not soon be forgotteen.
"There was a time when wo thought
we could do justice with the pen to
most any happening that might come
our way but this is one time when

STUDENTS MISSIONARY
MOVEMENT HOLDS CON-
VENTIONJNJT. WORTH
Several Speakers From Out of the
State Spoke Ten Colleges
Represented
The greatest convention of its kind
ever held in the history of Texas llap-
tists was the Students Missionary
Convention which met in Ft. Worth
March 21-2i. This is a Students
movement and was well attended by
students from all of our Texas col-
leges and a number from colleges in
Oklahoma Mississippi and North Car-
olina. This is the first convention in
the history of the movement but was
a complete success as stated by Drs.
Scarborough Haidy )a and others.
This movement originated in the
mind of I)i. Hull of Ft. Worth two
years ago and is now a real move-
ment. It is thought that by next year
or the year after that there will be a
thousand delegates in attendance.
The llaptists have at last waked up
as to their responsibility in the great
mission problem. They realize that if
the students of this geneiatiou do not
take some stand the world will not
he taken for Christ. Dr. 1). C. S. Wal-
lace of Montreal Canada said that
the thing that appealed to students
is the greut thing. "Baptist principals
arc great in their origin achievements
and their adaptibility in the recon-
struction of the world" said this
speaker "and after this wai this
world shall be reconstructed."
The greatest hour of the whole
convention was on Friday morning at
the service held in the Seminary chap-
el when fifty young men and women
volunteered to give their lives to
Christ to go unci to do whatever He
calls them to do. There were also
twenty-five who hud pievious to this
time surrendered to the call of Ser-
vice. The spirit of God was felt through-
out the services in great power. Dr.
Tidwell Professor of Bible in ISayloi
University gave four chief purposes
for the Student's Movement.
1 To stimulate develop and main-
tuin an intelligent Baptist people. Too
few of the Baptist people are inter-
ested in Missions.
2 To encourage and inspire stud-
ents to be prepared.
:: To nid Mission Hoards in calling
out missionaries.
J To help all students who remain
at home to realize the necessity of
work and prayer.
All who attended the convention ex-
pressed themselves as having receiv-
ed untold good and of being drawn
closer to Christ. Many relized as nev-
er before that "Life is most worth
living to him whoso work is most
worth while."
words fail us and we will have to say
the only way to get the full signifi-
cence of the power of God as being
manifest at this meeting is to attend
its every service and do so with the
determination of getting all possible
out of it."

DR. AXSON OF RICE IN-
STITUTE SPEAKS IN
COLLEGE AUDITORIUM
Renown Leccturer and Author I)e-
Lights Large Crowd in College j
Auditorium
All of the lectures delivered during
the Mid-Texas Teachers Institute
were enjoyed by the students of the
college; but if a vote were taken to de-
termine the speaker best liked the
decision most probably would go to
Dr. Stockton Axson Professor of En-
glish Literature in Rice Institute.
His reputation as a lecturer had pre-
ceded him hers and there was a
crowded building to welcome bin
when he spoke Friday evening in the
colleg? chapel.
The lecture on "Method and Per-
sonality in Teaching" fulfilled the
wildest expectations and proved a de-
lightful and helpful discussion of n
subject which is of vital interest not
only to teachers but to all who are con-
nected with school work. As Dr. Axson
delivered the lecture the audience was
struck with the conviction that his
students could never complain of lack
of vivid personality in his teaching.
The chapel was crowded for his sec-
ond lecture also which was delivered
on Saturday afternoon on the the
theme:
"Practical Education from a Theo-
retical Standpoint." In this he em-
phasized the great need for a practic-
al training of the youth to meet the
demands of life and he spoke of the
enormous benefit which is being de-
rived from courses in manual training
practical chemistry rudiments of car-
pentering etc. He expressed a re
grot however that we should cvci
try to get entirely away from edu
cation from a cultural viewpoint.
There is a danger that we become toe
practical and matter-of-fact while
emphasizing knowing for the pu.pos
of the doing we should not lose sight
of the subjective pleasure and worth
of knowledge just for its own sake.
We should remember that a great part
of our life is in the world of mind and
so this must not be neglected. "It is
important to make a living" s.iys Dr.
Axson "but the supreme masterpiece
is the making of a life."
