SOPH'S SUCCESS
The annual Howard Payne Day a day when graduating seniors
are guests of Howard Payne College this year sponsored by the
sophomore class was regarded by faculty members of the college
and visitors as one of the greatest and most successful events ever
held on the campus of the Gold and Blue.
The sophomores together with Mrs. E. J. Woodward and
members of the student body did a great job so say officials.
Yet as the event is a thing of the past there are a few chang-
es that would like to be suggested to the next year's sophomore
class by this writer.
Howard Payne Day should be held on the day of the district
meet. Why? Because on that day we have with us the outstanding
students in both literary and athletic endeavors from the eight
surrounding counties. Heretofore these students have received
the very least in hospitality. They are here as representatives
outstanding in various lines and yet nothing is done while they
are here to try to get them to come to Howard Payne. We have
a large student body and in the future we should aim towards
contacting those most outstanding students. They are what we
need and WE are what they need. Think it over freshmen. Roy
Fox.
MOTHER'S DAY
Next Sunday May 8th. is Mother's Day. You probably have
read how that in 1908 Miss Ann Jarvis of Philadelphia observed
the first "Mother's Day" in memory of her own mother. Believing
that others shared her feelings she began a nation-wide movement
to have the clay observed. She struck a responsive chord in near-
ly every heart. It is now not only national but international and
its observance on the second Sunday in May each year has become
world-wide.
Well may we pause to pay honor to her who after Jesus Christ
is God's best gift to men MOTHER. It was she who shared her
life with us when as yet our members were unformed. Into the
valley of the shadow she walked that we might have the light of
life. In her arms was the garner of our food and the soft couch
for our repose. There we nestled in the hour of pain there was
the playground of our infant glee. Those same arms later became
our refuge and stronghold. It was she who taught our baby feet
to go and lifted us over rough places. Her blessed hands plied the
needle by clay and by night to make the little garments that we
should wear. She put the book under our arm and started us off
to school. But the best of all she taught our baby lips to lisp the
name of Jesus and told us first the wonderous story of a Saviour's
love.
Perhaps she lives to bless your life. Maybe the silver-crown
her temples adorn. It may be your turn to minister to her at even-
tide. If so bless God for the privilege. Plant the kiss of grate-
ful love upon her face and hands or send her the message of your
love. If she has been called to come up higher and rest in the
Home above then wear the flower in memory of her and indulge
the sentiment of "Mother's Day."
"Nobody knows the work it takes
To keep the home together.
Nobody knows of the step it takes.
Nobody knows but mother.
"Nobody listens to childish woe
Which kisses only smother.
Nobody's pained by naughty blows
Nobody only mother.
"Nobody knows of the sleepless care
Bestowed on baby brother.
Nobody knows of the tender prayer
Nobody only mother.
"Nobody knows of the lessons taught
Of loving one another;
Nobody knows of the patience sought
Nobody only mother.
"Nobody knows of the anxious fears
Lest darlings may not weather
The storms of life in after years.
Nobody knows but mother.
"Nobody kneels at the throne above
To thank the heavenly Father
For the sweetest gift a mother's love.
Nobody can but mother."
All honor to the mothers of men ! In one of our universities
there was the son of a widowed mother. She labored and toiled to

keep him in school. She sold one of the plow horses rather than
take him away. At the commencement he was graduated. He sat
on the platform in his plain brown linen suit no vest but he was
the honor graduate. When a beautiful gold medal was handed
him he stepped from the rostrum and walked to the back of the
room where sat by the door a little old lady in black. He tied the
blue ribbon with the glittering medal around her neck. She buried
her wrinkled face in her hands and wept like a child. And the
throng cheered and cheered again. It was Mother's Day.
But every true woman knows that the honors should not
rest with her. All her purity beauty love and faithfulness are
at best but dim reflections of those rays of divine light. All these
were given to her by her Lord and she lays her trophies at His
feet. So in honoring her our hearts are lifted into the worship
and praise of our Mother's God. Ed Lovell.
THE RED GOD'S CALL
These are the good days. Hour full of clean air action and hot
sunshine. The raw-boned boy strains back in his seat remember-
ing the struggle with a speckled trout last summer and a girl
looks longingly out the window book neglected. She hasn't for-
gotten last summer's trip with the moutain trail and the cold
stream rushing to meet the valley. Walls and routine fade away.
Words in a history become black specks that jump about on a
white page. How can they hold any color for us?
When you've walked in fields of orange poppies you'll think
of nothing else. Kipling best expresses it : "The red gods call us
out and we must go." Each person has his special name for the
malady spring fever wanderlust or the unromantic laziness. One
may long for a white sail bent beneath a sea breeze another re-
call the bitter fragrance of wood-smoke but all hear the call of
the Red Gods.
We forget the trig problem and our English themes dwindle
to insignificance. We know only the sun's warmth and the flow-
ering peach just beyond our door.
Spring
Phooey on these classic poets
Who write of the beauty of Spring
Of budding plants that kiss the dew.
And other such like things.
Of the harbingers of warmer times
Upon its cheerful mission
Me ? I'd just look around and say
It's time to go afishin' !

One of the Saunders boys keeps

not in school here he hangs around
about as much as some of our stu-

Jake Allbright the boy you hear
about but never see. He came to
school once when he enrolled but
his visits to the school are few and

Gene Robinson one of our smarter

breathed a sign of relief when he
found out that it was just a case of
mistaken identity. Nadlne Boohcr

well-known music professor.
Marjean and Katherine Ah sweet
misery of love. Would that I were a
Mohammedan or a Mormon so that
perplexing problem which haunts me
night and day could be settled happily

marry two pretty girls.
Is it the position and prestige that

Fish Story
The wind tossed the white-rapped
waves hither and yon. Splitting the
water asunder like a plow share fur-
rowing the earth came a motor boat
manned by three ghastly specteis.
On closer perception theie was le-
velled three would-be anglers. One
of the three was bemoaning the loss
of a brand new rod teel and line
which the shortest of the tiio had
nonchanlantly tossed into foity feet
of H20. Suddenly these thtec who
had attempted to put' Isaac Walton to
shame came across a damsel In dis-
tress The gallantry of these fisher-
men came to the fiont and the lady
was lescued fiom the .stranded boat
after an unsuccessful attempt to tow
her and her boy fiiend. In the mean-
time Gypsy rtose Havins who had re-
cently completed a strip tease routine
was tather non-plussed when the
fair maiden sat down by him and ho
so thinly attiied. He was heaid to
utter "Quick Kluge the pants." The
outcome of this disastrous expedi-
tion into the briny deep (poetic
isn't since Lake Bwd. Isn't salty)
was a compilation of practical exper-
ience in a probable Pulitzer winner
"How Not to Catch Fish."
Oh yeah let us not forget to keep

Ramblings
Ed Lovell
After a few weeks absence we arc
glad to be back with you again with
our column. We had joy of seeing
many souls saved a number of them
boys and gills under twenty years of
age. After all the pleasuies of the
world aic named the fact still te-
mains that the greatest of all pleas-
ures is that of winning souls to Christ.
When youth is saved a life is saved.
We arc thinking about youth as we
write our column and want to think
for a few moments of "Crime Chal-
lenges Our Churches." There are
many destructive forces that are fo-
ciiFcd on our youth of today more
than the avcingc Chilstian man or
woman di earns of. We do not desire
to assume the role of an alaimlst
but it is evident that the foiccs of
righteousness must become more
keenly aware of the prevalence of
crime and organized vices of all
kinds and then redouble their ef-
forts to eradicate this handlwoik of
Satan and hasten the reign of Christ
In all hcatts and in all the catth.
Winning souls to Christ Is the
fTieatcst business in the world and
yet operates proportionately on the
smallest budget. Ciime with Its con-
sorts of numberless vices is the low-
est and most despicable business in the
world and it operates on the largest
budget. In our own country we are
told the absolute minimum annual
cost of crime is fifteen billion dollars
witli an enlisted army of three mil-
lion five bundled thousand peisons.
The allies of crime and criminal
"factories" aie too numerous to be
discussed in this connection. The
whiskey evil was teleased upon our
people in lencwed Intensity with the
repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment.
the traffic in alcoholic bcveiages as-
suming enormous ptoportions. More
than 40000 outlets for its sale were
under government protection in 1935.
Thuie are doubtless more since then.
Thitty million families averaged
"591.09 per family for liquor. Alco-
hol is legalized but not moralized;
repeal makes its manufacture and
sale a legitimate business but noth-
ing can annul its disastcrous and
damnable effect. Liquor along with
other poisons and narcotics is a lead-
ing contributor to murder misde-
meanors and immoialitics of all
kinds.
A shocking revelation is the fact
that ciime is the most highly or-
ganized industry among us. Its pro-
giams and objectives are carefully
mapped out and followed and its
MAJOR DIRECTION IS TOWARD
THE YOUTH OF OUR LAND. The
slogan of a beer syndicate is "Get
them while they're young." Make
drinkers out of the young people
and theie will be no question about
the demand. The same was said
about women and girls smoking clg-
aiettcs a few years ago and we can
see where the demand went and what
a tremendous amount' is spent by
the female sex each year for them.
et Mie fact still lemains that when
the clean christian motal man seeks
a mate for life he prefers the girl
that will leave cigarettes alone.
Slut machines operated in filling
stations stotes cafes and other
pKics and especially places near
s chi ols and colleges are making
liberal contribution to the educition
of our youth in gambling. These ma-chinr-s
aie placed in a place wheie
own the boys and gills of the junior
nj;e can take chances on them with
their pennies nickels dimes or
with the money that in many cases
was theirs because of great sacrifi-
ces of a mother or dad or maybe
both. School officials of our colleges
ii:d schools would be well to lead in
the eradication of these evils near
tiirm.
't'here are numerous evils that we
could mention that threaten our
jouth of today but time nnd space
limits our discussion. But we do
want to list some answers to the chal-
lenge of ciime.
1. An aroused and Enlightened
parenthood.

2. A more understanding and ap-
preciative church.
1. Enlistment in Bible School.
i A new appreciation of the Sun-
day School teacher's ministry
5. Emphasize Vacation Bible
School.
6. A church-centered recreation
program.
7. Directed reading.
Those are some of the answers to
this challenge as far as the church Is
concerned but there are many other
organizations that can help to com-
bat crime and amog them Is the
home and also the Christian College.
When the home the church and the
schools cooperate together the
moral standard of our country can
be raised to a high high plane and
you will have to agree if you know
anything about the ways of the world
that the moral standard of our coun-
try is very low at the presert time.
Youth is not the cause of it and
when you hear a person say that
youth is going to hell you just re-
mind that it isn't so when youth Is
taken as a whole but If it were so It
would be because of the adults of the
day who In most every case arc spon-
sotir.g the things that are detrimen-
tal to the moral and spiritual life of
our youth. The truth is beforp us
though and we cannot deny it that
crime is taking Its grizzly toll of the
young people of our land. What we
aic concerned about Is in rallying
the friends of righteousness to a
counter attack and put to rout the
enemies of Christ. Christ himself is
the remedy and Christian men and
women thiough the churches the
home and our Christian colleges and
schools are the human instruments
to be used. Youth must be won to
nnd for Christ. The youth of today
will make up the leaders of tomor-
tcw and If our country and our peo-
pli arc to be brought back to God It
must be done to a great extent by the
spititual and moral training given
to the youth of today. We say a lot
about our cultural training of today
but I want to remind you the great-
est culture of any form of culture is
the Culture of the Soul. The age in
which we live Is one of mechanical
education and sophistication rather
than one of culture. We couldn't
call it an age of culture when 28000
women and girls disappeared in 1037
when 80 per cent of the Inmates of
prisons are under 25 years of age and
when teachers in many of our col-
leges and universities or sociology
will stand before a class and make re-
marks that would make a doctor
blush if he were in the class. There
are other things we could mention
but space does not allow it. May God
help us to see the needs of today and
realize what is going on right before
us and then may we as Christians
give ourselves In a program that will
call people back to God and save
the youth of the world.
"I know of Lands that arc sunk in
shame
Of hearts that faint and tire
I know of a name a name a name
That can set those lands on fire.
I know of lives that are steeped in sin
That no man's art can cure.
I know of a name a name a name
That can make those lives all pure.
I know of souls that are lost to God.
Bound down by things of earth.
I know of a name a name a name
That can give those souls new birth.
Oh listen my soul the Saviour
speaks
To save the world from dross.
Christ Jesus is the Name
He saves by way of the Cross.
