Christ Craves Companionship
wi.t. muld v nat watch with ma ona houi" Matt. 28:40
One recognizes in these words of Jesus His passionate yearning
for companionship In His hour of travail ana 01 agony cravcu
the companionship of men Our blessed Saviour was no stoic: He
leaned hard on loving hearts- He yearned for the fellowship of men
as intensely as they yearned for His. And today he is the 'same
.Tosnc still rmvinif fo rlovinc human companionship.
It should be noticed that He craved this fellowship when it
was utterly inadequate How little could these disciples fathom an
that was transpiring in the datkness There He was bearing sin upon
His spirit as on Calvary He bore it in His body. There He was giving
Himself uttcrlv to God's will in the redemption of mankind.
Even had the disciples been awake how little could they un-
derstand yet He yearned for an imperfect sympathy like that In
order that we might fuly appreciate this text wo place the accent
upon 'one hour '
Had He asked them to watch through the livelong night with
Him that might have been a high and arduous task but to ask their
vigilance for only 60 minutes surely was a very small demand yet
it was there that the disciples failed
Pet haps it is there where we most often fail in our loving com-
panionship with Chnst Pcihaps it is there that love most often
fails It is a noble thing to die for Annie Laurie possibly it is a nob-
ki thing to live foi her and sometimes the loc that would die for
hti fails in tlK lesser seivice foi living
So in mu fellowship with the Lord Jesus we may be ready and
eager foi the greater sacrifice and yet we cannot watch with Him
one houi Gieat services reveal our possibilities; little services re-
veal our conseciation
Jesus plaeeb the emphasis of Heaven on him who is faithful in
the least Travis B McNair.

People arc wondering what's
become of Halloween's patroness
the witch. Witches used to be
all fire and blood mean old
hags who cast spells and pro-
nounced curses and gave exams
out of sheer meanness But now
psychiatry has stepped in. What
made her turn the princess into
a defenseless kitten? What emo-
tional disturbance caused her to
cut her pet screech-owl's heart
out to make hamburgers?
Here's a sample of the modern
witch story a' la Cousin Hunt:
It was poverty that turned Lit-
tle Hepzibah to her chosen pro-
fession She was a lovely child
with flashing baby-blue eyes and
a beautiful white pointed tooth
and she wanted more than any-
thing else in the world to be a
foreign correspondent for the
Associated Noithumbrian Press
But her mother wanted her to be
a choius girl
They never could get along.
Mama was always trying to ar-
range Little Hepzibah an audi-
tion for the "Follies" produced
and directed by Gypsy Rose Sul-
livan Wylie but little Hepzibah
wouldn't hear of it "I wanta be
like Frances Hynds" she told hei
mother.
When Little Hepztbah's mother
passed from this world into the
world beyond she left all two of
the dollars that constituted her
life-saings to the building of a
home foi oiphaned orangutans
And that left poor Little Hepzibah
penniless without a cent When
one is penniless without a cent
one can't become a foteign cor-
respondent for the Associated
Northumbrian Press can one?
The plot thickens The only
way Little Hepzibah could get a
share of her late mother's for
tune was to make people think
she was an orphaned orangutan
She was admitted to the home
under that pretense and she even
pledged a sorority Senatus Or-
angutanus (which was later sus-
pended for violation of the 18th
Amendment).
Little Hepzibah lived in con-
stant fear that somebody would
find out she wasn't really an or-
phaned orangutan and sure
enough they did. The disciplin-
ary committee voted to give her
a dishonorable discharge from the
home.
It seemed fate was against her.
Here she was again penniless
without a cent. Her expulsion
from the home was another mark
against her good name. It was
on her permanent record and she
couldn't even be a chorus girl
now because they'd go to the
home for character references.
All seemed lost but then . . . she
met Nicolai.
Nicolai was a big wheel and
he knew all the influential peo-
ple. But Little Hepzibah didn't
care about that. All she cared
about was that she had at last
found the man of her dreams.
They were married within a
month's time and set up house-
keeping in a quaint little cottage
with purple and red polka-dotted
shutters and matching draw-
bridge. But fate hadn't yet dealt its
final blow. Nicolai was stricken
with halitosis and the doctor or-
dered him to bed. Little Hepzi-
bah would have to go to work o
support her invalid husband.
Nicolai's influence got her ad-
mitted to Sand's School of Sor-
cery and upon graduation she be-
came a full-fledged member of
the American Guild of Sand
Witches Some outcome for a
would-be foreign correspondent

Wah Wahtaysees and their dates
found the pot of gold at the end
of the rainbow Saturday night at
the fall banquet in the Drake
Hotel.
The banquet room was decorat
ed with wide stripes of crepe
paper forming a rainbow across
a glass brick wall. The pot of gold
was painted at the end of the
rainbow creating a rainbow il
lusion with soft lights upon it.
Place cards were minature rain-
bows atop a money piece.
Barbara Amos gave an informal
tap number with June Lowery
accompanying her .June also
presented a medley of piano
pieces. Barbara then came back
in formal dress to present another
dance. Gwen Nunn sang "Bill."
Members and dates present
were: Myrle Holcomb Will
White; Edna Mae Sell Jack
Chubb; Katherine Roper Clyde
Smith; Beth Jones Wayne Park-
er; Iris Kendall David Barros;
Marylin Wright Tony Wolfskill;

for the Associated Northum-
brian Press eh what?
But she wasn't to blame psy-
chiatrists say. It was her mother's
fault because she shouldn't of
had Hepzibah in the first place.
And since every story has to have
a moral the moral to this one is
simply this: If you don't believe
what you've just read go to Delta
Beta and Kiva's all-school Hallo-
ween Carnival tomorrow night
and you'll see that anything can
happen!
