The Campus Mirror^ Published during the College Year by the Students of Spelman College, Atlanta, Georgia VOLUME XII NOVEMBER 15,1935 No. 2 THANKSGIVING Three hundred and fifteen years ago, the Pilgrims, “on a stern and rock hound coast,” had a vision that has reached down to ns. They assembled and gave (Jod thanks for having so wonderfully blessed them with a bountiful harvest of tin* necessities of life. Their vision and gratitude have been reflected and relayed down the years and are still expressed among our most sacred emblems of Thanks giving to the Supreme Intelligent Pro tector of the universe. College students will do well to con sider thoughtfully and thankfully our harvest of fruits—spiritual fruits— gathered from our readings, and per sonal contact with tho beauties of Na ture; spiritual fruits gathered from various speakers who have come to us in Vespers and Chapel. These fruits will serve as food for our religious life in years to come. People of every walk of life not only pause to give thanks, but also to search among their meagre savings for some thing to give to the distressed and pov erty-stricken of every community of our nation. We can make the year 1 Odd mark a milestone in the realization of ideal Christian brotherhood. We must re member that formal gatherings to give thanks mean very little or nothing un less we believe with the Apostle Paul, that, “Though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and have not love, it profiteth me nothing.” As the season approaches, we shall do well to consider our blessings and think in terms of our Thanksgiving drive. Let us try to make our five representatives in Africa feel that we have really caught, and are going to perpetuate, the real spirit of the brotherhood of man.
