LISTENING IN STATION
Y. W. C. A.
Phyllis V. Kimbrough, ’30
Saturday afternoon, February 15. the Foreign
Students’ Club met at Morehouse College and
continued their previous discussions on “Why
and What Am I in America?” At the next
meeting the subject for discussion will be “The
Relation of India to Great Britain.”
Miss Anne Wiggin of the National Board
spent the entire day, Monday, February 24, as
the guest and adviser of the Spelman Y. W. C.
A. She spoke at the Spelman chapel service
and again at Morehouse Chapel, had luncheon
with cabinet members and Miss McGhee, held
conferences with cabinet members, had charge
of Monday night discussion group, and gave her
final touch to a full day of service in a de
lightful retreat which had been arranged for in
Miss McGhee’s commodious office.
An impressive session was the meeting of the
Christian Endeavor Society of the High School
with the Y. W. C. A. as their guests on Feb. 23.
The President of the Christian Endeavor
is Miss Alice Lomax, and she cooperating with
Miss Boley, the faculty adviser, presented a
whole evening’s program by giving the living
history of its organization. Lottie Lyons rep
resented the “Spirit of Christian Endeavor,"
and told how the organization had been planted
as a little seed in 1881 in one corner of the world
and had spread its influence into countries near
and far. After the history of the local Christian
Endeavor was given, the curtain was drawn re
vealing the living birthday cake. It was com
posed of a circle of girls dressed in white kneel
ing with heads bowed out of sight, suggesting
the form of a white cake. A group of girls con
cealed within the circle held up the large blue
numbers 1881, the date of birth. The program
closed with a song by Christian Endeavorers, the
words of which were composed by Beautine
Hubert and Florrie Jackson of Spelman High
School.
At the Annual Student Volunteer Conference
for Foreign Missions which met at Agnes Scott
College in Decatur, Georgia, there were the
following representatives: Elnora James,
Phyllis V. Kimbrough, Cassandra Maxwell,
Mabel Duckett, Elise Oliver, Mary Dubose,
Juanita Jernigan, Caral Blanton and Lois
Davenport. Miss McGhee was chaperon
and honor representative of the Y. For
the first meeting of such a mixed group,
the contact with the representatives of
other colleges, of religious organizations, and
of other race groups created an interested feel
ing of brotherhood and singleness of purpose
which we hope will last beyond the span of the
conference itself.

CHAPEL ECHOES
Mr. Rheinallt Jones, lecturer on Law at the
University of Johannesburg, South Africa,
spoke in chapel March 3 on the subject,
“Liberating Africa.” Africa, lying removed
for centuries from the main streams of civili
zation, is a land of mystery. The slavery
of the native African to animism and belief
in witchcraft is worse than any physical
slavery because it deeply affects all his men
tal powers. Mr. Jones said that the African
has great possibilities and a quick mind.
These people, with the help of education,
are being freed physically, spiritually, and
morally to take their places among the na
tions.

Mr. Hubert Peet, whose pen name is
“Phineas Fogg”, a well-known English
writer, spoke in chapel February 18 on “The
English Woman in Politics.”
* * *
The Rev. Howard Thurman, referring to
a kind of religious teaching of a few decades
ago. which emphasized personal religion and
piety, rather than social problems, used the
text, “In this world you will have tribula
tion, but be of good cheer because I have
overcome the world.”
He said, “Don’t lose control of yourself,
but be of vast steadiness.” . . . Tribulation
translates, threshing machine — something
which tends to separate the no-good from
the good. He cited prosperity and poverty
as very effective threshing machines. Con
ventional tribulations may reveal that life is
hard or may make one indifferent, cold—
may make one look on life without tears or
just look. Conventional tribulation may also
make for mellowness, for God-likeness, but
doesn’t have to. In this world you will be
exposed to the threshing machine way of
life—“I have overcome the world”—“Purge
me, oh, God.”
Then there was a girl who was so dumb she
went to a cooking school to learn how to make
“whoopee.”
