Aaron c. Toodle, Republican

II am absolutely opposed to a

this fight, on my record. Any 9TH

of age, who declares that she is
the mother of Major l.. Divine"

York and other cities and millions
throughout the nation call God"

tor here this week on following up
a tip furnished by the Rev. c. A.
Cobbs, former pastor of Mount Cal
vary Baptist Church, Fulton, and
secretary of the Baptist Ministers
Conference of Richmond for five
years.
Mrs. Mayfield told the reporter
that her son came, over to see her
when he was holding a meeting In
Richmond at the City Auditorium
here about three years ago, stating
that he told her at that time not to
own him as son and that he
would not own her as a mother, as
his work now would not permit
that. She also said her son, whose
real name is not Major Divine but
Frederick Edwards, came through
here shortly after she moved to
Richmond about fifteen years ago.
At that time she said he remained
about a day visiting with her and
her daughter who also lives in
Fulton and with whom she was
living at the time.
Deserts Ailing Wife and Children
The mother of the man whom his
angels call God, said her son left
his wife and five children when the
eldest of them was not more than
nine or ten years OF age and the
mother suffering with a weak
heart, having to carry heart
drops with her at all times.
She told the reporter that Divine
also had a half-brother, George
Bullock, the son of her first hus-
band, who is also in New York. He
used to send her some money from
time to time, she said, until he got
in touch with Fed" as she calls
him, but now think he is with
him and he doesn't send me any

There was quite a bit of disagree

class roll. This form was used by
the senior class last year and in
previous years. Others in the class
wanted to change and order the

Club Gives Permission
For Students to Buy
Tickets at Half Price
(From The Pioneer)

Opening the current season with
a dance recital by Madam Goya,
the Salisbury Cooperative Concert
Association has again selected the
Catawba College Auditorium for
the presentation of the three con-
certs of this year. Mr.. Oestreicher,
in making this announcement, told
the representatives of Catawba that
the association appreciated the fine
cooperation given the club by the
faculty and students. To show this
gratitude the club gave permission
for the sale of half-price tickets to
the student body.
Appearing with Madam Goya On
this initial concert will be two we'll
known musicians, Norman Secon
and Beatrice Burford. Mr.. Secon is
an accomplished pianist, having not
only accompanied the best per-
formers of today but having toured
this continent and Europe, giving
his own recitals. Miss Burford is
equally we'll recognized as a harp
ist virtuoso.
Several of the student and facul-
nv n,er here Of the club have al
ready received benefits from their
membership when they attended a
concert in High Point on Thurs
day, November 10. The noted
tenor, Frederick Jagel, was present.
ed by the High Point group. In
the future reciprocity is available
with Hickory and Fayetteville as
we'll as High Point. In some cases
the different organizations are pre-
senting the same artists.
In the latter part of the season
the Salisbury group expect to pre-
sent Malcolm and Goddon, pianists,
in a duet concert. In the last few
years these two men have gained
quite a reputation in the field of
radio inimitable prescriptions Of
famous old masters. Their program
here will not only contain many of
these arrangements, but also other
light selections which will appeal
greatly to the audience.
To close the season, the Coop
erative Concerts have been fortu-
nate enough to obtain Rosa Ten
toni. Last year Miss Tentoni had
the honor Of being selected by Tos-
canini to sing with the New York

cert.

SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON
(By Rev. Charles E. Dunn

The epistle is very precious for
several easons. In the first place
it is a reflection of the beauty of
Christian hospitality. Note the
suggestive phrase, "the church in
thy house, Philemon graciously
opened his home to his fellow-be-
levers.
Secondly it testifies to the free
dom that comes to the soul
through Christ. To be sure, Paul
does not tell Onesimus to renounce
his status as a slave. Paul nowhere
attacks the institution of slavery.
Return to your master, and re-
sumo the old service" is the apos-
ties counsel.
Best of all, this exquisite letter
is a revelation of the lovable heart
of Paul. We here observe his over
flowing affection, his boundless ca
pacity for friendship, his delicacy,
tact, and tenderness. Never forget
that Paul was intensely human.

Christian Brotherhood.

Lesson for November 10Th. Phil
emon 4-2O.
Golden Text: Galatians 1928.
Paul's lovely little letter to Phile-
mon is a cheerful, personal note to
an intimate friend whom the apostle
calls "our dearly beloved"
Who was Philemon? A wealthy
resident of Colossae, a slave-owner,
he had probably visited Ephesus,
had there heard Paul preach, and
had become, under the spell of the
apostles gospel, a convert. A char
liable soul, an arnes Christian,
he was especially noted for his hos
pitality, his home serving as a
meeting-place for a group of COL
ossian Christians.
Who was Onesimus? He was a
house slave of Philemon's, and
therefore a mere chattel. There is
reason to believe that he robbed his
master. Paul evidently was suspi-
cious of this (see VS.. 18). At any
ate Onesimus ran away, and
thereby became an outlaw. Land
ing in Rome he came under the
beneficent influence of Paul who
sent him back to his master with
this charming letter.

about over. The proverbially

Good times are surely with

by most Of the larger universitie:
and colleges and that the booklets
were used mostly by high schools.
1t was suggested that two invita-
tons be accepted-the formal for
those who want it and the booklet
for those who wished the more ex-
pensive, but this was not definitely
decided upon. The class will wait
until it has seen and priced the in
vitations of another company be-
fore it will be decided definitely one
way or the other. 1t was thought
by some members of the class that
the salesman had it backwards
about the use of invitations since
Catawba has used the booklet for
quite a while. Samples were dis
played and placed in the Library
for individual inspection.
There was a suggestion made that
the officers of each class consult
the authorities of the college about
adopting a standard invitation for
Catawba College Commencement,
which would be accepted as the Of
ficial invitation of the college. The
senior class, thereafter, would have
no choice of an invitation. 1t would
be an accepted form. This would
eliminate the argument which oc-
ours every year concerning the
form and style of Invitation. 1t
would not affect this wears senior
class as much as the senior classes in
the future, SO it is up to tie present
underclasses, whether they would
like a standard commencement in
