MEN HEAR INTERESTING ADDRESS, "Religion a Personal Matter," Subject of Lecture Dr. C. E. Burts addressed one of the most successful Y. M. C. A. meetings of the year Wednesday night in Flinn Hall. The attendance was almost fifty per cent. greater than us ual. The committee responsible for the program is planning a meeting each week which is worthy of the attention of ev ery college student. Dr. Burts spoke on "Religion a Personal Matter". He point ed out that many men want to enjoy the blessings that Christ ianity brings without being Christians themselves and that, they prefer to take their relig ion "second hand". Others, he said, appreciate the bless ings that God bestows but do not care for God himself. The speaker illustrated this by say ing that many sons seem to care more for the property they inherit from their fathers than for their fathers themselves. "God himself is worth more, infinitely more, than the things of God", said Dr. Burts. He urged that Carolina men should not take their religion "second hand" or care too much about "silver and gold and houses and lands" but that they should cultivate the friendship and fellowship of God himself the only thing that can satisfy the longing of the human soul.
