Leadership Meeting

the ten southern states, in addition to
faculty members, were invited to attend
a leadership meeting at the Auburn Ave
nue Y. W. C. A., December 5 and 6.
Thirty-six individuals were present. Dur
ing the two days they worked on prob
lems that hinder leadership on a cam
pus, problems that face the “Y. W.” as
sociations in various states, standards
that live associations should live up to,
and laboratory methods for overcoming
difficulties. Echo meetings of this one
are to be conducted in the thirteen areas

“Where Love Is, There
God Is”
Helen Ruth Clark, ’38
On the night of December 20, 1930,
there came a message of hope and in
spiration to the students of Spelman,
Morehouse, and Atlanta University.
“When you have done it to one of the
least of these my little ones, ye have
done it unto me.” This was the theme
of the play which closed the activities
of the “Y” of Spelman College for the
year 1930.
Searching memory, we feel that the
“Y” spirit is exemplified in the thought
given in this play, “Where Love Is,
There God Is.” Throughout our land
the Christian associations are helping the
least of Christ’s little ones, and students
may convert the theme of this play into
an every day philosophy of life. Though
we may not have an abundance of world
ly goods to offer, we can be rich in
smiles, and we can easily lend a help
ing hand to those around us. Let us in
vest in the bank of kindness.
Synopsis of the play: A poor old
shoemaker near the close of a none too
happy life suddenly finds hope in the
advice of a long-time friend he has not
seen for years. This friend suggests
that he read an old book, the Bible. In
reading a passage of the New Testa
ment, he comes across a passage which
predicts the coming of a comforter,
Christ, and admonishes men to prepare
for His coming. The old man is deeply
touched and the next day while waiting
expectantly for Christ to come he gives
aid to all those in distress who pass his
window. There is a little hungry boy
and a cross old lady from whom the
little boy has stolen an apple; the pov
erty-stricken mother with her young
baby, and the shivering old man who
sweeps snow from the sidewalk. At the
end of the day, as the old man sits
down to his shabby table reading his
new found treasure (the Bible), he
comes across this passage: “And when
ye have done it to the least of these my
little ones, ye have also done it unto
me.” He finds happiness; Christ en
ters his life, and God comforts him.
The characters were portrayed by the
following people:
The Old Man, Haloise Walker.
A Neighbor, Gertrude Brown.
The Old Apple Woman, Raymond
Whigham.
A Little Boy, Mabel Miller.
A Poor Mother, Leolive Watts.
An Old Soldier, Ruth Hodge.
The play was directed by Miss Brett.
Sara Murphy was the stage manager.
Eloise Usher had charge of the build
ing and scenery. Mexico Hembree took
care of the properties.
At The Sijjn Of The Blur
