OUCH YOU CUT ME AGAIN
As nearly every student on Howard Payne campus knows
HPC is famous among the students for another quality that
of "cutting" people. "Cutting" simply means a slam or a dig
at another person who is usually a close friend of the one
doing the cutting. Most of the cutting is done in a joking way
but is it worth it?
Let us take the good points of cutting and weigh them
against the bad points and see if the scales balance. First good
point It might win you a new friend. (?) It might give a good
first impression. (?) It might relieve some of the bitterness and
anger that you have stored in your heart from hard work or
disappointment. Possibly the latter is the only positive good
point for cutting people.
Now let us consider the bad points for cutting people.
First there is the possibility of cutting someone that can't
take it. Then before you know it we have a misunderstand-
ing or an ex-friend. There is the possibility of going too far
when cutting people. We can never be sure of the breaking
point in a person. Perhaps someone who is usually able to
take it well is tired one day and will take the smallest cut to
heart.
Examine yourself! Why do you cut people anyway? What
do you cut them about? Don't you unconsciously pick out their
bad points of overweight underweight homeliness or what
have you with which to cut them?
Did you realize that people are really hurt by some of the
things that are laughlingly said to them? What about the cou-
pies that start going together? It is a wonder that some of
them stay together the way others make fun of them and I
their best friends cut them. There have been instances of stu
dents going to their rooms and crying their eyes out because
they got cut once too often.
Was there ever an instance when Jesus Christ the ex-
ample that we as Christians are supposed to follow cut some-
one: ur course tne question is ridiculous men wny don t we
as tollowers ol riis tollow riis example more closely : burely
you can see that no good can come from cutting people and
much harm can be done. I imagine that cuts make shy people
draw even more closely into their shell of quietness and bash-
fulness. Let us on Howard Payne campus be a friend to all not
an habitual butcher!! How about it?
WHAT KIND OF FRIEND ARE YOU?
Guest Editorial by Peggy Cloyd
Have you asked yourself that question in all sincerity?
If you have what was your answer? Were you ashamed of it?
I was. Far too many of us take friendship too lightly. We
think to ourselves "Well what's one friend more or less."
Many of us have this very attitude and that is the reason I
would like to relate to you the next few lines.
"Never cast aside your friends if by any possibility you
can retain them. We are the weakest of spendthrifts if we let
one friend drop off through inattention; let one push another
away; or if we hold aloof from one for petty jealousy; heed-
less slight or roughness. Would you throw away a diamond
because it pricked you? One good friend is not to be weighed
against the jewels of all the earth. If there is coolness or un-
kindness between us let us come face-to-face and have it out.
Quick before the love is cold. Life is too short to quarrel and
carry black thoughts of friends. It is easy to lose a friend but
a new one will not come by calling nor make up for the old
one when he comes!" (Leaves of Gold.)
Again I ask the question "What kind of friend are you?"
Christ portrayed the kind of friendship that should be pre-
valent today!
He didn't say "I won't associate with that person because
he isn't living the right kind of life." I wonder how many of
us think that very thing when we are introduced to someone?
We form opinions blindly and never look far enough to see
the good in a person only the bad.
"Do not form opinions blindly;
Hastiness to trouble tends;
Those of whom we thought unkindly
Oft become our warmest friends."
Christ chose his friends for the good He saw in them and
truly there is good in all of us. He chose them because of what
He could do for them and not for what they could do for Him.
He didn't choose them for the selfish reasons we choose our
friends today.
No one is poor who is rich m friends. He has treasure
that can neither be bought nor sold. How rich are you?
Cathedral Chimes
By Clarence Powell
"We have toiled . . . and caught
nothing."
Jesus came to a group of dis-
turbed and disappointed fisher-
men who had fished all night
with their own methods and
caught nothing. In what seemed
to be an hour of failure He had
them to launch out into the deep
and cast their net down one more
time. To some this would be just
another disappointing fruitless
effort but now they were guided
by a Master who does not dissa-
point or fail. This time they had
more fish than they could keep.
Jesus also comes to the student
who all year has labored under
some burden or all year seeming-
ly has failed in the one goal
which he has tried to reach. In the
hour of our failure and disap-
pointment He says "Now that
you have tried your own way and
caught nothing why not TRY
JESUS launch out into the deep
and see what I can do." In these
last few days be not afraid to
take your chances with disap-
pointment. Cast all your care on
Him knowing that He careth for
you.
When we see the unreached
and unenlisted on our campus
we know we have "Toiled all
year and caught nothing." Jesus
still says "Launch out into the
deep and trust me."

Ten Students Serve
As Missionaries
This Summer
Texas Baptist college and uni-
versity students will send at least
ten fellow students as missionar-
ies to four counties this summer.
W. F. Howard secretary of the
Texas Department of Student
Work Dallas announces that stu-
dents will go to Africa Cuba Al-
aska and Mexico.
Students will represent the
Baptist Student Union which
sponsors the summer missions.
They will leave Texas about the
first of June and return the latter
part of August.
The student missionaries were
chosen by a 16-member committee
of student directors and represent
atives from the state office.
Among those selected are Sam J
Cannata University of Texas
Medical School at Galveston ap-
pointed for Nigeria Africa; Ar-
nold Griffen University of Cor-
pus Christi and Bob Fricki Bay-
lor University Cuba; and Jimmy
Hooten North Texas State Col
lege Denton Alaska.
Six students will go to Juarez
Metxico to work on the summer
team. They include Ginger Moon
Southwest Texas State College
San Marcos; Edna Selman Way-
land College Plainview; Norma
Brumley Stephen F. Austin State
Nacodoches; Patsy Luna East
Texas State College Commerce;
Byron Braly Baylor College of
Medicine Houston; and Jack Hill-
man Lamar Tech Beaumont.
All of the funds for sending the
student missionaries come from
students in some 60 Baptist Stu-
dent Unions in the state. The mis-
donate their time
ceiving no salaries or honorari-
ums for their work.
They are "appointed" through
the state Student Department in
cooperation with the Bapsist
Home and Foreign Mission
Boards. While on the field they
are supported by the local church
or group of churches. Main work
of the student missionaries is
conducting Vacation Bible
Schools and special religious services.

Havins Speaker for
Urbanite Meeting
Do you know why opals are
considered unlucky? Or what the
first gems known to history are?
Dr. Havins answered these
questions during his talk on gem-
ology when he met with the Ur-
banite Club Monday night in the
parlor of the Girls' dormitory.
Opals were considered good
luck pieces until Sir Walter Scott
wrote his novel about Anne
Queen of the Scots. In this' novel
Queen Anne's opal continually
brought bad luck. Readers of this
novel became superstitious of
pearls. The superstition is still
present in the minds of many
people.
The scarabs which were used
in the fourth Egyptian dynasty
are the first gems known to his-
tory. These scarabs beads were
used in the Egyptian religious
ceremonies. Dr. Havins' scarab is
from an Egyptian tomb which
was judged to be more than 8000
years old.
Dr. Havins displayed stones
from Mexico Australia New Zea-
land Egypt Chile and all parts
of the United States.
