Allman REGULAR VESPER SERVICES HELD DURING SUMMER MRS. M. C. WILEY SPEAKS TO GROUP A vesper service has been pre pared and given by the students each Sunday evening during the summer session. Taking part in these services have been those students who expressed such a de sire at the beginning of the sum mer session. Programs were given on “True Friendship” and “Sharing with Others.” In the first of these pro grams, the participants tried to bring out the qualifications for a true friend, pointing out the friend ship of Jesus and how he gave his life for mankind. At this meeting also, a brief greeting was given to all summer school students. In the second program, talks were made on the instances in Jesus’ life when He shared with others. This worship service was linked with the preceeding one in that without sharing those small charac teristics much needed in life with our fellow men, we cannot be true friends. One visiting speaker, Mrs. M. C. Wiley, of Carrollton, was brought to the campus to speak on the vesper program. Mrs. Wiley is the wife of the city school superintendent, and is therefore greatly interested in teachers and their work. She gave a most in spiring talk on “The High Calling of the Christian.” The program for the last vesper service was on “The Quest for God Through Sacrifice and Pray er.” These programs were under the direction of Ethel Lee McLarin, Naomi Jones, Frances Phillips, and Pauline Pritchard with Miss Katie Downs acting as faculty advisor.
