| CLIFTON BAPTIST CHURCH
We are rejoicing over the fine ser-
vices we had last Sunday. We had
one of our largest Sunday School at-
tendances with one hundred and fif-
ty-five present. It was also our larg-
est attendance in the Training Union
with sixty-eight present. We have
designated April 28 as our record at-
tendance day and urge every teacher
to have one hundred per cent present
for Sunday School and remain for
the Church service. We are sorry that
some of our people and visitors have
to use the uncomfortable seats from
the annex when our auditorium is
filled. We hope that in the near fu-
ture we will have a new church that
will take care of everyone comfort-
ably.
Sunday School at 9:45. Training
Union has been changed from 6:30
to 7:00 o’clock. Please remember the
change. Preaching services at 11 and
8:00 o’clock. Next week the Sunday
School will sponsor a training course
especially for teachers and officers
and others. It will begin Monday
night and continue through Friday
night. Everyone is urged to attend.
To the members of other churches who
do not have services on Sunday morn-
ing or night, we bid you welcome to
worship with us. Will you be in your
place of service Sunday?
Gerald Trussell, Pastor.
With the entering of Norway into
a struggle for existence we begin to
realize more fully that war is not just
a thing that we read about. We begin
to wonder what kind of soldiers we
would make. Time was when war was
an outdoor sport indulged in by a
limited number of men of various
nations who had the strongest physi-
cal endurance and the most courage.
Today Mars smears his bloody finger
over two thirds of the globe all at
once, changing the qualifications of
a good soldier to that of mechanical
training, general experience, and
calm judgment. Battles now are bat-
tles of minds and not battles of mus
cles. Since we Americans pride our-
selves on our intelligence, we prob-
ably would make good soldiers; but
let us hope that we are smart enough
not to have to prove it.
Campus News
It’s a shame that Freshmen are
subject to initiation any time thru-
out the year, isn’t it, Maurice? But
you really can’t afford to belittle
seniors like Clinton, Cleo and Walter
by refusing to be intimidated, can
you?
The fish are biting, so Bertha Ma-
rie, Hilma, Cecil and Tick went fish-
ing Sunday. Bertha Marie had most
of the luck, though her account didn’t
include anything about the big ones
that got away. Bertha’s stories are
original.
Marcella Olsen returned to the
campus last Thursday after a siege
of the measles. She didn’t say any-

butterflies.

time spent there will be quite worth
while.

The Emersonians were happy to
sponsor a chapel program last Thurs-
day in which Rev. and Mrs. Quell of
Waco participated. Rev. Quello sang
several beautiful selections with Mrs.
Quello accompanying at the piano.
Then he gave a brief talk on the
Biblical quotation, “For me to live is
Christ,” which held the audience
quite entranced. We hope they will
come back again soon.
Gayle Grant and Jackson Stryker
came in from Fort Worth last week-
end and where they are attending
Texas Wesleyan College. Their visit
was brief, but was enjoyed by all.
Bonnie Faye Miears of Fairview
was here, too, and it was certainly a
pleasure to see her friendly face
again. And Floyd Sorley’s, too.

competition. Floyd Weatherbee see:
