T emptation
“Lead us not into temptation,” are words
frequently uttered by college students in
formal service. But often it seems these
words are given little, if any, deep signifi
cance.
Temptations come into everyone’s life;
come in a thousand different forms and
clothed in apparel of every hue. The ques
tion is shall 1 be a weakling as Adam or
Eve was and allow temptation to over
power me, or shall I be so filled by the
desire of rendering service to humanity that
I shall be able to combat temptation as
Jesus did in the wilderness of Judea ?
Many college graduates, when they with
draw themselves from the strong protecting
walls of home and college, have not yet been
exposed to the complete overruling powers
of the great common temptations of life.
It the actual wilderness of a lowly job
does become the resort for many of them,
will they fast forty days in this wilderness
in order to achieve a nobler purpose? Christ,
in overcoming his temptations, faced inevi
table anguish in order that He might there
after tread the path of a victor over temp
tations. Through hardship His path was
made even clearer and He won the eternal
victory.
When one makes such a final surrender
to the divine will by avoiding winding paths
or crooked roads to seeming fame, the main
battle of life is won. The future yet may
hold trial and sorrow for such a one, but
not defeat.
Sometimes a definite decision to do a
greater work is made once for all under the
pressure of a great temptation. For such a
victory as this, no trumpets are blown, no
flags borne aloft, but the feeling of God
in the darkest hour cheers the conscience.
There is none braver than he who struggles
in darkness and despair and wins without
exaltation. "Lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.”
Thanks to Oar Artists
Much credit goes to Cecil Long for her
designing of the front outside cover for the
Campus Mirror.
The design used on the back of the out
side cover was made by Alice Elaine Selby
in a class in Applied Art.
3\ e regret that some of the pictures in
tended for this number could not be run.
A second group of the Freshman class had
to be taken, but could not be finished in
time for this issue.
The fine response which the entire student
body have made to the effort to get out
this issue has been most encouraging and
distinctly helpful. We hope we see a sure
promise of the Annual's becoming a per
manent custom. The willingness to co-op
erate means far more than we think in put-
tin g over any project.
Send your friend a Campus Mirror.
The College Hymn
Words by Rev. S. F. Smith, Author of America.
Music by Marjorie Alexander Stewart, '32.
Dear Spelman, thy daughters rejoice in
thy fame,
Acknowledge thy beauty, and honor thy
name;
How fondly we praise thee wherever we
roam,
And love thee and cheer thee, our school
and our home.
How lovely the landscape outspread at thy
feet,
Where hill, vale, and streamlet in harmony
meet;
Oh, long may thy children with gladness
return,
To bless the fair spot where thy signal
lights burn!
How bright was the day when we entered
thy hall!
What lessons of duty and truth we recall!
3\ e felt new life throbbing, we found a
new world,
As knowledge its banner above us unfurled.
Thy children are known with the brave
and the free,
The world is made richer, fair Spelman,
by thee;
Be brave, then, in effort the wide world
to bless,
God s hand shall support thee and give
thee success.
Fair Spelman, sit crowned in a beauty
thino own,
A beacon of grace, and a queen on her
throne;
Hie wreaths for thy brow are not perish
ing bays,
But love of thy children and their grate
ful praise.

enjoyable. I lie appropriate program given
on the lawn included a solo by Mabel Hill
man and piano music by Carol Blanton,
Cecil Ding, Rosalind Dixon and E. Ixiuise
Ltng. One of the delightful features of the
evening was the presentation to each Senior,

leather bookmark upon which "Spelman, ’33”
was engraved.
All are gratetnl to Miss Read tor having
made possible this pleasant gathering.
