THE GUILFORDIANVOLUME VII
President BinfordRecovers From
His IllnessSoon to Return From the Hospital
Old students and intimate friendsof President Binford have knownfor some time that he was not inhis usual excellent state of health,but probably no one realized the se-riousness of his condition until itwas announced on Saturday, Octo-ber the thirteenth, that he had beentaken to St. Leo's Hospital for anoperation for appendicitis. The op-eration was successful and Dr. Bin-ford is recovering rather slowly,but as well as could be expectedfrom the nature of his illness.
Both faculty and students havetried to express their regret andsympathy to Dr. Binford and hisfamily with words of sympathy andby keeping his room filled withflowers. As the work on the presi-dent's house is about completed, thefaculty and a majority of the stu-dents met immediately after lunchlast Saturday for the purpose of car-rying away lumber and buildingmaterial and leveling the yard aboutthe house. Every one present founda genuine pleasure in the purpose ofthe meeting and in the privilege ofworking together and helped to ex-press the spirit of co-operation atGuilford.
According to reports Dr. Binfordwill soon be able to return to hiswork in the college.
FOOT BALL SQUAD PREPARINGFOR HAMPDEN-SIDNEY
GAME.
During the past week Coach Doakhas kept his football chargers hardat practice in preparation for thegame with Hampden-Sidney in Dan-ville on Nov. 13th. Due to injuriesto some of the players in the WakeForest game there have been a fewchanges in the lineup. At present J.C. Newlin, end, and White, the bighalf back, are out of the game onaccount of injuries and will proba-bly not get in the game. It is not def-initely known yet just what the line-up will be, but from the sidelinesit appears as if a machine will begotten together which will be capa-ble of showing Hampden-Sidney aform worthy of notice. Raiford hasbeen playing end in the absence ofNewlin and Mcßane has taken theplace of Rollison on the other end,Rollison having been shifted to thebackfield. Either of these men canbe relied upon to hold down an endor a backfield place. In the lineWilliams has been showing except-ional ability of late and will prob-ably be started in at guard or tackle.
The backfield will probably bemade up of the following,- captainNewlin, Stout, Rollison, B. L. Whiteor Tremain.
"Self-denial means to make no pro-visions for the flesh to fulfilthe luststhereof. It is keeping the bodyunder and bringing it into subjectionto the will of God."
oung Men's ChristianAssociation Holds
Interesting ServiceMarvin Shore led a very success-
ful meeting last Thursday eveningon the subject of The "Practicabil-ity of Religion."
Religion, the speaker said, couldbe practicable only when Christ be-came a reality and this could beaccomplished by a study of histeachings.
The speaker went on to say thateach day there are sorrows that be-fall each of us, and in order to over-come those sorrows we must haveChrist with us. We must surrenderourselves to him and do it now. Mostpeople want to be good but theywant to wait a little while, and keepputting it off until sometime it willbe too late.
We must guard against the smallsins, or as time passes we will dolarger ones without thinking of it.L 3n as an alarm clock fails to
arouse us in the morning if we failto respond to its summons at first so.ii with our i conscience. If we do
not heed the slight warnings we, intime will fail to heed the larger onesand then go on deeper in crime.
After the speaker had finishedseveral other talks were made havingas their thought the topic of theleader's speech.
The meeting was, from the pointof general participation, the most
successful that the Young Men'sChristian Association has held thisyear.

GUILFORD COLLEGE, N. C., NOVEMBER. 10, 1920
Y. W. C. A.--MariannaWhite Leads
The message for the Y. W. C. A.
prayermeeting on November fourthwas found in the 13th chapter ofFirst Corinthians:
If one truly has the love of Christin his heart he will want to go aboutministering to the needs of his fel-lowmen; he will have a great desireto gladden the heart of someone byhelpful deeds and kind words. Thecollege community is an ideal placeto show this love towards one's fel-low men. By greeting a studentwith a kind word or a cheery smile,the whole day may be brightened.It makes no difference whether ornot you know that person; make himglad by showing your interest inhim. He may be "blue and downand out," but, oh! the change in thewhole outlook upon the world whenhe knows that somebody at least isglad he is alive. Then he knowsonce more that life is worth living.
With the love of Christ in one'sheart it is easy to keep the heartaglow with life. By means of thislove one is able to "fill the unfor-giving minute with sixty seconds'worth of distance run;" he is ableto cast out of his heart all envyand littleness. For "love enviethnot, vaunteth not itself, is not puffedup, doth not behave itself unseemly,seeketh not her own, is not easilyprovoked, thinketh no evil." If everyone in the world were filled with thelove of Christ how peaceful peoplecould dwell together.
Besides the leader's talk severalother thoughts were given to the girlsfrom different members. Some ofthem are:
"What you are, speaks so kindthat I can't hear what you say."
"It's not the thing you do, dear,It's the thing you leave undone,That leaves a hit of heartache,At the setting of the sun."
Whenever the meeting is thrownopen in this way much good is de-rived and the bands of fellowshipin the association are strengthened.
