Church Attendance Phases Discussed

Three Viewpoints

Dr. Sohlberg Advises Group

Local Doctor Gives Pointers On Doctor’s Profession;

Urges PersonalityDr. Sohlberg, who lives in M cPher­

son, spoke on th e subject "Choosing a Vocation."

i f you have information about a ce rta in vocation before going in to th a t vocation. It will he very valu­able." rem arked Dr. Sohlberg.

D on't be a f r a i d quit i f you are su re th a t you a re in th e w rong vo­cation.

A doctor should be a combination of a Dale Carnegie, a F red Allen, and the Mayo Bros. It is m uch bet­te r no t to s ta r t any trea tm ent than to s ta r t trea tm en t on a wrong d iag­nosis."

"T he field of women doctors is som ew hat lim ited. Women should consider carefully before m aking a ca ree r of medicine. P robably the woman who m akes medicine a ca­reer should not plan on getting m arried .”

“ T here is no se t age a t which one can begin study. Some s ta r t from the crad le and some old men are thirty-five years old before they s ta r t studying. These men have little m ore m atu re judgm ent, but it in terferes with m arriage a n d they d on 't feel free, to take as long tra in ­ing as possible."

“T here is a crying need for doc­to rs in sm all towns because the trend lately has been tow ard specializa­tion. In large cities th ere is the hard com petition w ith the clinics."

F ive M edicine Fields“T here are five ways to get into

m edicine; General practice, research, teaching, specialization, and the com m ercial field . The general p rac­tice provides variety and keeps the doctor on h is toes. Specialization has been cut down so fine th a t you m ust have one doctor to take out your rig h t tonsil and an o th e r one to take out your left tonsil. The re­search angle can be filled only by certain people because it is neces- sarily a lim ited fie ld . Teaching is desired by some people, and if you make a flop of everything else, you can fall back on the commercial side and work in one of the large houses such as Park , Davis & Co.

“ In sum m ation, medicine is get­ting aw ry from over-specialization and people are getting very clinic- minded. Then, what is the govern­m ent going to do about medicine? We m ay have s ta te m edicine and if i t comes i t m ay work to the disad­vantage of the profession.”

Three phases of church attendance we re discussed in the general S. C. M. m eeting Tuesday m orning, Febru ­ary 15.

"W hat I got out of church" was the subject of a ta lk by John Bowers, who gave ten very hum an and real- istic item s which he received from attend ing church , such us; exercise In standing for hym s; cost, in a social u rge to co n tribu te to the collection plate, an opportunity for song p rac- t ice; a feeling of doing th e righ t th ing ; fellow ship with the bes t peo- ple on e a r th ; s tim u lation fo r good ideas; moral s tren g th and lastly a re- bu ild ing of sp irit.

E sther Sherfy talked on “ W hat the church should do for one". I t was pointed out th a t one m ust want some- th ing good before h e can get it. From church one should get com fort, in­stru ctio n , courage, insp iration , fo r­giveness and peace. A power to con- quer obstacles th rough personal med­itation and w orship was m entioned us the ou tstand ing quality received from church attendance.

C hrist’s principles in church a t ­tendance w ere discussed by Helen Deane Gibson. The scrip tures sta te th a t C hrist was an hab itual church goer. He left no defin ite ru les for us to follow in th is m atter, except th a t we rem em ber the Sabbath day to keep it holy.

Blue Monday? Not so this w eek The girls went around all day with happy sm iles and laughing eyes. Gayety reigned suprem e, fo r it was V alentine's day!

And you should have seen H enry (he 's the mail m a n ) . He really had to s truggle to bring all th e packages in, and most of them were kinda flat and square packages — you know the kind with boxes of candy! Some of the basket ball boys surprised th e ir lady friends and had boxes sen t from Emporia. Surprise. Gladys!

One of the sen ior girls got m ore than her share. Besides a box of candy, she received h er g raduation present from h er fo lks—a w rist- watch!

Not all th e g irls go t candy, as

was plainly shown when, F rances cam e s tru ttin g around with a brand ne w locket hanging around h e r neck.

Someone was certain ly mysterious. Several o f the faculty members re ­ceived valentines with no signatures. Quite puzzling! And som e w eren 't the sen tim ental kind!

The hoys weren’t left ou t on th a t eventful day, e ither. Many o f them received p re tty little valentines and gifts .

The girls in Arnold Hall had a lo t of fun afte r closing hours sharing th e ir candy, cookies, and stuff. If you have noticed bad complexions and loss of appetites th is week, the g ifts of valentines day accounts for i t. T hat guy, St. V alentine, really started som ething— oh w hat?

C hristian? W ho calls m e C hristian? We a re so-called C hristian students at a so-called C hristian College. Yet. a re we C hristian and do wo comprise a group worthy of being classed as the student-body of a Christian col­lege? W hen we say we are Christian, we a re in reality saying th a t we a re earnestly endeavoring to follow Christ’s way of life; we are saying th a t we sincerely believe th a t Christ’s ideals can become rea litie s ; we a re saying th a t w e a re willing and ready to back up w ith our lives. If neces­sary, the Law of Life which Christ gave us: the Law of love.

Yet, C hristian? W ho calls me C hristian? A re we putting into prac­tice the Law o f Love? The Law of Love would require th a t a ll people would have bread before we could have cake; the Law of Love would require tha t we would not possess two su its of clothes or half a dozen d resses as long as there are those who are naked o r in rags; the Law of Love would require th a t the pain and suffering of the whole world be cast upon our own hearts, as in rea l­ity they are if we are Christian. Also, the Law of Love would r e q u ir e that, in the words of Eugene Debs:

"W hile there is a lower class, I am in i t .

"W hile th ere Is a crim inal class, I am of It.

" While there is a m an in j ail. I am not free."

C hristian? W ho calls me C hristian?

We give fifty dollars to the Chinese S tudent R elief Fund and com pli­ment ourselves— which is very well, for i t is com m endable th a t we can send fifty dollars to o u r Chinese fol­low -students. Yet, how much did any of us sacrifice to send tha t m oney? How m any candy-bars o r movies or sodas o r cokes did we forego th a t we m ight have more money to send to o u r O riental b ro thers who haven’t even bread, let alone candy and sodas. If we really were practicing C hrist's Law of Love with relation to o u r Chinese bro thers, we would be will- ing to give up o u r meals for o n e day tha t are m ight have m ore money to send to those who are forced of necessity to give up m eals for many days. If we really w ere tak ing ser- iously Christ’s Law of Love w ith re ­sp ec t to o ur Chinese bro thers, we would be willing to w ear the old su it a w hile longer; we would deny o u r­selves the p leasure of buying a new necktie o r a new h a t ; we would press o u r own s uits o r dresses instead of calling one o f o u r most obliging d enn ing agents.

C hristian? Who calls me C hristian? U ntil we, and by "w e" I mean not the indefin ite "o th e r person" but you and I, un til we are willing to give up o u r luxuries, and even some of o u r necessities, In o rd e r tha t our b ro thers m ight live, we have no business ca lling ourselves C hristian.

“Swing” System Maintains Lead

Bulldogs Not Fearful O f Seeking13th W in From Swedes Tonight

Final Home Game Significant To Present Conference

Bulldog Lead

If superstition means anything in the Kansas conference, then the Mc­Pherson college basketball players m ust be careful fo r they may do the unexpected Friday night and lose to the Bethany college Swedes on the home court.

The Bulldogs, according to col­lege records, have a string of 12 consecutive victories over the Swedes since 1933, and the 13th battle of the series will be played Friday, night.

R ivalry between these ancient op­ponents began in 19 18, in which year McPherson suffered two defeats nt the hand or the "Terrible Swedes." When four of his players joined the nary in 1918 for service in the World W ar, P rofessor Russell, d irec tor of athletics, rem arked: "Boys, it is j ust as patriotic to stay home and play on the team as to join the navy."

Although none of his cagers will j oin the navy. Coach "B uck" Astle is anxious to uphold the record F ri­day night and prove th a t the num ber " 1 3" holds no fears for his Canines.

Since the establishm ent of organ­ized coaching at McPherson college in 1921, the Bulldogs have won 23 of the games while Bethany t r i ­umphed in 12 contests. Most of the games have been won by close m ar­gins, bu t in 1934 McPherson whipped the Swedes 42 to 14 fo r th e widest m argin of victory.

Following Is a list of scores of the 35 battles between th e two colleges since 1921:

By The Colonel Tall Tw isters—

According to Coach Astle, four f lats are th e wrong key for the "sw ing system " . . . .His tires went down exactly th a t num ber of tim es on the road to Em poria prior to th a t d isa s tro u s O ttaw a game. . ."B arney" has been knocking the bottom ou t of the basket recently and he s tarted his ra lly against the Swedes up in Ling gymnasium. . . .We understand E lm er R atzlaff learned a few lessons about the dark and m ysterious a r t of "pitching woo" while on a j aunt with Tony Voshell.

"M olly" received a trem endous blow th at knocked gum from his mouth d u ring the C. of E . contes t . . .A s t l e was certain th a t H arold had lost som e tee th . . . .W iegand un- corked his basket-m ak ing ab ility against his form er clansm en a t B eth­el Saturday n ight. . . .To j oin the ranks of singers such as W iegand, Mohler, A lbright, R. Fox and others, K urt Naylor is tak ing voice lessons for reasons o ther than "sw ing”.Off th e Elbow—

W e are sorry to hea r th a t Dave McGill's m other has not shown much improvement. . . .Also th a t Chet Johnston 's knee is now bothering him m ore than previously. . . .Evi­dently th e w orkout in th e Em poria Y. M. C. A. did no harm to the Bulldogs. In addition to h e r j ob as cheerleader. Olive Edgecomb was offered th e Job as referee by " Sq u a t" Surface, C. of E. gridster who officia­ted the second team gam e in Mason gym. . . .T he "s trik in g " scoreboard, member of B ethel local 1313, failed to correctly reg iste r the "o ff n ight" battle a t Lindley H all. . . .Even dis­turbed the troop of scorers to the extent th a t the final score was in question. . . .Voshell s till forgets th e exact m ileage to Newton although ho hud to m ake an ex tra trip th ere j ust to give "B uck” the rig h t car keys. . . .Have you noticed th a t Coach now su b s titu te s t e a m s a t a tim e? . . .I t was t r ie d fo r the first tim e a t College of Em poria.

Undoubtedly the team appreciates the fine sp irit and loyalty exhibited by the larg e crowd of rooters a t Em-

Both team s s ta rte d o u t slowly, the passing was wild, and the shooting was worse. However, the A stle men managed to hold a 20-19 lead a t th e half. Naylor and McGill l e d th e first half a ttack for M cPherson while Rudolph w as ou tstanding for B aker.
