Dr. Bubose, pastor of the first Pres byteriai church of Spartanburg, made and inspiring talk to the "Y" at the WVednesday- night meeting. Dr. Bu hoFe said that the Bible prohes deeper into the root of real life than any other blook ever written. He said that the Bible has inspired men and races to achievement. "It has inspired idealists and has been the guiding star of mil lions of lives." "Most of the young mon are in college" he said. "because of their ambition. They want to make something, to be something. There is a goal for everyone." "Then what is a worthy aim or goal?' he asks. "Fame is the goal of some, popularity, power, pleasure, to others. However, the gospel warns a man against making these the chief aim of life. Service was the aim of the mas ter. He concluded by quoting from the words of Jesus, "Whoever would be greatest among you, let himn be your servant." Mr. Calligan rendered a vocal solo, accompanied by Mr. Eargle. A goodly Cr(wd attended the meeting. -U.S.C. MESS HALL ETIQUETTE Of all the places one should look for etiquette or manners, it would hardly be expected in our dining hall ; but a few students have not lost what they were supposed to bring with them, and (to show some home-training in their b)e havior at meal-time. Take for example the studont who pours vinegar into the salt or pepper shaker or even puts a combination of Ihem all in the pitcher of zip. What would an unhaised observer say as to his former training. They seem to for get the fact that they are not the only ones who eat there, and have to stiffer by their acticAis. There are a few sim ple customs or habits which you should cultivate and practice in the Mess Hall or in your boarding house. They are: Leave all your dishes in the tray when you have finished; arrange the eating implements in an orderly fashion across the plate; remove drinking glasses from the waiter. When you leave your place to apply for "seconds" or to get some soplhmore a glass of tea, be sure to turn your chair down. When you follow these few suggestions it does not only add to gentlemanly conduct but at increases the efficiency of the waiters. They do not have to hit around for your scattered "tools" or remove some glass from the tray, but can pick up the siiver with one haid and the tray with the otlier and have a place fixed for the next fellow.
