Schug McDonald Speak
To Mission Study
i j
W. J. McDonald and Dr. H. L.
Schug spoke at the Mission Study
Wednesday evening on "How to
Prepare for Mission Work Among
Spanish Speaking People." On
the Wednesday evening before
the geography and the people of
Mexico were ttudied. Dr. Schug
and Prof. Treat who spoke on the
first program have spoken from
experience. Prof Treat spent the
summer of 1929 studying in the
University of Mexico. He has also
worked several years with the
Spanish mission here. Prof. Schug
started the Mission here in 1920.
Practically all the work among the
Mexican people has been the re-
sult of hia work or of the en-
couragement and teaching he has
given others.
A summary of the program fol-
lows: The missionary must have good
health must be patient and must
have the ability to stick unrelent-
ingly to his task. He must pray.
He must remember that lib pur-
pose is to Christianize and not
to Americanize. The mi sionary
must have a goodly portion of the
yearning for the salvation of souls.
Religiously he will find four
classes of Spanish. There arc be-
lievers those who wish to believe
unbelievers and Roman Catholics.
He must know their history art
literature and customs and fecial
habits. He must know their re-
ligious doctrines so that he will
be able to meet them on their own
ground and win their respect. He
must know the Spanish language
and must lie able to speak it
fluently. They do not care for
broken Spanish. He must be cour-
teous to them. The missionary
must be able to think as hi peo
ple think and their point of view
must not be disregarded. He must
spend much time in personal
work. Kindness will open many
hearts to the word of God. His
life must be an example. He
should teach his converts to teach
others for one of the most ef-
fective ways to reach Sapni h
speaking people is through those
of their own race.
Dr. Schug said thqt 10 to 20
Mexicans could be converted with
the same effort and cost as would
be required to convert one of the
Chinese. The Mexicans are our
neighbors.
SCRIBE SEES WIND-
IN MEMORIAM
TO CHICK OWENS a real
Wildcat and a great athlete.
Death has taken him from the
world he loved so well. His
friends bow with tear-dimmed
eyes at his passing. No long-
er will he play at the game he
loved so well. Never again
will he don liir moleskins to
take his position in the inc. Re-
sounding echoes from the sta-
dium will never again fall up-
on his cars.
But his smile is bequeathed
to those who come and his spir-
it of cheer is left for those
who arc yet to don the Purple
and White he has laid aside.

ANY MAGAZINE So
Repression News Stand
common it is in the spring and
uinmer to see pictures and full-
page advertisements telling how
soothing Blank's creams arc after
a long drive in the wind.
Irretrievable disasters arc often
the result of the wind and its
games. Cyclones and hurricanes
are merely different names for na-
ture's powerful insrtumcnt' game-
and actions. Stories of distress
fill the pages of our newspapers
the screen of the news reeis. anil
the minds of our citizens when
the wind goes on a rampage.
How disgraceful the wind's
Game often becomes when the Old
Man plays havoc with the skirts
and hats! Many a fair maiden
and older maindens too has
been teen using one hand to try
to hold down the unruly skirt
while the other hand is wandering
aimlessly around the upper region
in search of the modern thing
called a hat.
Little fellows who arc fleet of
foot give thanks to the wind when
hats and other vahubles go tumb-
ling down the street and the own-
ers kindly offer nickels or dimes
for their return.
And what good excuses can be
gotten from the wind! Mot teach-
ers can tell of receiving the ex-
cuse from a lad or laddie that
"the wind ju-t blew my paper
away befo e I could catch it."
Wind often play the wrong
way with athletic contests espe-
cially tennis ami tract events. It
seems to be an old "windy cus-
tom" for the day to be windy when
outside events arc planned. Many
arc the offic:als whose heaJs are
white with the snow that never
molts simply became of the ele-
ments uurulv attitude.
The wild has the privilege of
opening arti Inmm'nj: door and
window's an) time it mj cleaiics;
that is if the doors and windows
are not securely locked. The best
part of it all is that the wind may
hear the scolding but it docs not
have to go back and cloc the
door all over again just mo it will
know how the next time as chil-
dren do
The wind is never impotent. It
merely becomes placid and se-
rene at time. It may be blatant
and fhipshod but then how af-
fable it is when all is quiet and
well with the world!
May we never see the day when
there is no wind!
