The other day I was talking with some friends of the city about attending church. One of them said: “If I went to as many religious exercises as you, 1 would never go to church.” I wonder how many of us think like that. I should like for each one of us to ask himself this question, “Just what does the chapel service mean to me.” Mr. I. A. Thomas and Mr. and Mrs. Price were our guests at the chapel ser vices Dec. 11, 1925. Mr. Thomas spoke as follows: “This is a day of co-opera tion, federation, and fellowship. Where- ever you find these three, you will find faith and many other good things, grow ing as a consequence. Ninety-five per cent of the leadership when the inter- church world movement was in opera tion were men from Christian Institu tions. As you young men go from Morehouse strive to be an outstanding character in the Christian religion. As you go home carry with you the spirit of Christ, of Morehouse, and of love, and let these be seen in all you do.” Mr. Price spoke as follows: “There are three great things which are essent ial to life. The first is work; second education; and third religion. There are people in the world who believe that it is a disgrace to work. This attitude is rapidly passing away. I am thinking just here of a Chinese student who, a- gainst all his traditions, came to Am erica and worked his way through school. Christian Missionaries are teaching the people that work is es sential.” “Education is absolutely necessary for the transmission of civilization from generation to generation. Get all you can because you can’t have too much. I read the other day where two men were giving about forty million dollars to at least two schools. These men know the value of education. The time is rapidly passing when people use the schools as resorts.” “You are the salt of the earth. You who have training go back home and keep things palatable. Much shall rest upon the shoulders of you young men in the line of Christian service.” Mrs. Price spoke as follows. “I am an ardent lover of the arts. The thing which has impressed me is the singing. I want to urge you to preserve this art which you have contributed to civiliza tion, the only contribution which Am erica has made to civilization along musical lines. Mr. and Mrs. Steele visited our chapel services Dec. 12. Mr. Steele made an interesting talk on the development of the Western territory. Miss Ruth Banks was our honored guest Dec. 30. Miss Banks is from Lincoln University, Jefferson City, Mo. She is an accomplished pianist. The orchestra together with one selection from Miss Banks gave a very much ap preciated little musical at the morning service. It would be a splendid thing if we could hear our orchestra not only when we have visitors but at times when only the home folks are present. This, it seems to me would give to the stu dent body a deeper appreciation of music in general and of our orchestra in particular. The orchestra played as a first num ber “To a Water Lily” by McDowell, an American composer; as a second, the German March “Valse—Bluettee” by Drigo; as a third “By The Meadow Brook” by McDowell; and as a fourth, “Murmering Zephyrs” by Jensen. Miss Banks played “Etude-Concert” by Mc Dowell. The last number was played by the orchestra, “Dreamy Delaware” by Walter and Violinsky.
