THE GUILFORDIAN VOLUME VII President Binford Recovers From His Illness Soon to Return From the Hospital Old students and intimate friends of President Binford have known for some time that he was not in his usual excellent state of health, but probably no one realized the se- riousness of his condition until it was announced on Saturday, Octo- ber the thirteenth, that he had been taken to St. Leo's Hospital for an operation for appendicitis. The op- eration was successful and Dr. Bin- ford is recovering rather slowly, but as well as could be expected from the nature of his illness. Both faculty and students have tried to express their regret and sympathy to Dr. Binford and his family with words of sympathy and by keeping his room filled with flowers. As the work on the presi- dent's house is about completed, the faculty and a majority of the stu- dents met immediately after lunch last Saturday for the purpose of car- rying away lumber and building material and leveling the yard about the house. Every one present found a genuine pleasure in the purpose of the meeting and in the privilege of working together and helped to ex- press the spirit of co-operation at Guilford. According to reports Dr. Binford will soon be able to return to his work in the college. FOOT BALL SQUAD PREPARING FOR HAMPDEN-SIDNEY GAME. During the past week Coach Doak has kept his football chargers hard at practice in preparation for the game with Hampden-Sidney in Dan- ville on Nov. 13th. Due to injuries to some of the players in the Wake Forest game there have been a few changes in the lineup. At present J. C. Newlin, end, and White, the big half back, are out of the game on account 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 sidelines it appears as if a machine will be gotten together which will be capa- ble of showing Hampden-Sidney a form worthy of notice. Raiford has been playing end in the absence of Newlin and Mcßane has taken the place of Rollison on the other end, Rollison having been shifted to the backfield. Either of these men can be relied upon to hold down an end or a backfield place. In the line Williams has been showing except- ional ability of late and will prob- ably be started in at guard or tackle. The backfield will probably be made up of the following,- captain Newlin, Stout, Rollison, B. L. White or Tremain. "Self-denial means to make no pro- visions for the flesh to fulfil the lusts thereof. It is keeping the body under and bringing it into subjection to the will of God." oung Men's Christian Association Holds Interesting Service Marvin Shore led a very success- ful meeting last Thursday evening on the subject of The "Practicabil- ity of Religion." Religion, the speaker said, could be practicable only when Christ be- came a reality and this could be accomplished by a study of his teachings. The speaker went on to say that each day there are sorrows that be- fall each of us, and in order to over- come those sorrows we must have Christ with us. We must surrender ourselves to him and do it now. Most people want to be good but they want to wait a little while, and keep putting it off until sometime it will be too late. We must guard against the small sins, or as time passes we will do larger ones without thinking of it. L 3n as an alarm clock fails to arouse us in the morning if we fail to respond to its summons at first so .ii with our i conscience. If we do not heed the slight warnings we, in time will fail to heed the larger ones and then go on deeper in crime. After the speaker had finished several other talks were made having as their thought the topic of the leader's speech. The meeting was, from the point of general participation, the most successful that the Young Men's Christian Association has held this year. Girls' Baseball Series Ends Old- Girls .Defeat New Girls in a Close and Thrilling Contest. Last Thursday afternoon the old girls defeated the new girls by the score of Bto 10. This was the final game out of three. Previous to this final contest both teams were suc- cessful in winning one game' by a hard fight. Through the series both teams have shown excellent teamwork The game began with the new girls taking the field. During the first innings neither side was able to score because of the splendid work in the field. Following this, Poindexter, Hodges, Ward and Gar- ner, the new girls, scored five runs. The old girls then came to the bat and greeted the delivery of Hattie Poindexter with a number of hits which netted seven runs. Edna Rai- ford was very successful in batting three home-runs during the game. The remainder of the game was one hard fight with the new girls in the lead until the last half of the ninth inning when the old girls succeeded and gained the lead, and left the final score 8 to 10. This game was witnessed by the entire student body 1 together with many visitors. The new students cheering for their players, and the old students cheering for their play- ers. Much "pep" and enthusiasm was manifest throughout the entire game. The line up was as follows: Old girls: E. Raiford, p; A. John- 'qiJOMXejj -q fss lb; F. Cox, 2b; M. White, 3b; A.

A. prayermeeting on November fourth was found in the 13th chapter of First Corinthians: If one truly has the love of Christ in his heart he will want to go about ministering to the needs of his fel- lowmen; he will have a great desire to gladden the heart of someone by helpful deeds and kind words. The college community is an ideal place to show this love towards one's fel- low men. By greeting a student with a kind word or a cheery smile, the whole day may be brightened. It makes no difference whether or not you know that person; make him glad by showing your interest in him. He may be "blue and down and out," but, oh! the change in the whole outlook upon the world when he knows that somebody at least is glad he is alive. Then he knows once more that life is worth living. With the love of Christ in one's heart it is easy to keep the heart aglow with life. By means of this love one is able to "fill the unfor- giving minute with sixty seconds' worth of distance run;" he is able to cast out of his heart all envy and littleness. For "love envieth not, vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil." If every one in the world were filled with the love of Christ how peaceful people could dwell together. Besides the leader's talk several other thoughts were given to the girls from different members. Some of them are: "What you are, speaks so kind that 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 thrown open in this way much good is de- rived and the bands of fellowship in the association are strengthened.

On November 2, when the citizens were deciding who should be our officials in both State and National affairs and what should be our pol- icies for the next four years, the two political clubs of Guilford Col- lege decided to institute some means by which the Faculty and students of the College might express their preference in regard to the officials and policies of our State and Nation. At a joint meeting of the committees appointed by the respective clubs, it was decided to follow the election laws of the state, with a few modi- fications with regard to qualifica- tions and dates. The registration books were opened Tuesday, Novem- ber 2, at 9:30 a. m. and were closed at 1:30 p. m. No one who was not a member of the Faculty or student body at the term of registration was allowed to register. Those who had been duly registered became quali- fied voters, only, after they had paid a poll tax of .02 each. The polls were opened at 3:25 p. m., and closed at 5:00 p. m. The poll holders of the election were, Mary Dixon, who represented the Democratic Club, and Curtis Newlin, who represented the Republican Club. The girls showed much enthusi- asm and interest in exercising the rights granted them by the 19th Con- stitutional Amendment.
