NAMMONTREE yIS SPEAKER AT CHAPEL SUNDA Y Ewo Young Men of the Bible" c4 -Saul Is Subject 'B Taken ?LEA MADE TO STUDENTS Long Associated with Mell Trot ter-Religious Worker of Note Homer Hammontree, song leader and worker with young people, with Mel Trotter, ,made a splendid talk before the Y. at Chapel Sunday n'ght, using for his subject "Two Young Men of the Bible, Both Named Saul." Mr. Hammontree gave a synopsis of the lives of these two men, touching up on the high points of their careers, and bringing into sharp contrast the end of each. He showed how Saul with everything to his advantage, made a good start as King of Israel, but later fell into sin, lying, jealousy and disobe dience to the direct commands of God, finally ending his life as a suicide. To this picture he compared Saul, after wards Paul. Paul too, had every ad vantage in his early life in wealth and education. He started out as an earnest young man trying to do what he thot was the will of God in persecuting the new sect of Christians. But when he found that he was wrong, instead of lying about it as Saul did or making excuses, he immediately turned around and was himself subjected to all the persecutions that he had inflicted upon the Christians. He ended his life as a martyr. The later part of his life was spent in the hardest of hardships, but he was supremely confident to the end that he was doing the will of God and was happy to suffer what he did. Mr. Mammontree closed his talk with a plea to the students of the Uni versity to make Paul their example in life instead of Saul.

Meets Thursday Last Thursday evening the Y.W. in rivalry with the pep meeting, coach ing classes and make up French tests, the Y.W. held a commitment service for the old and new members. About sixty co-eds pledged themselves as members. A very beautiful and im pressive service of silent worship pre teded the service of the commitment. The president of the Y.W.C.A., Miss Seabelle Jones, was in charge of the service throughout. After Bible read ings and prayer by the president, Miss Louise Mc*ntosh sang very effectively, "It Pays to Serve Jesus, Each Step of the Way." The president then made a very impressfve talk to the Y.W. laying before the members the purpose of the Y.W. and the sacred obligations they took upon themselves in joining the or ganization. Miss Mildred Cone represented and read the pledge to the old members and Miss Mary Wall performed the same office for the new girls. The president then lighted the candles of the old and the new representatives, and after all had repeated in concert, the Y.W.C.A. pledge, the cabinet moved forward and 1'ghted their candles. After they had returned to their places, the old and the new members marched in double file to the front and lighted their can dles. After this was finished everyone fell in line behind the president, who led the way to the lawn, where they formed a circle around the president. "Follow the Swan," was sung, after which the meeting was dismissed with a prayer. After the dismissal, the girls retur ned to the hall where they enjoyed a social half hour.

George Belk, will speak at the Y.M.C.A. meeting Sunday night in the University chapel. The meeting this week will revert to the usual time, 7:00 o'clock. "Juckie" Belk is a graduate of Caro line, and while here made all-state in 't!ree sports. He played half-back on .the football team, forward on the bas ketball team, and was one of the heav iest hitters on the baseball team among a group of heavy hitters, including Rock Snipes, Bill Holland and Tatum Gressette. He is one of the few three letter men and among that much small er group who have been all-state in three sports. Belk started his career at P. C. where he made a name for himself in athletics. He was a Lieutenant during the war and served his time in France. After the war. he entered Carolina, getting his A. B. degree and M. O. de gree here, and finishing his work at the Presbyterian Seminary. He is now pastor of the Presbyterian Church at Fort Mill. The older members of the student body remember the series of services that were held at the University by Juckie and his brother, in 1923, working with two other former Carolina men in a quartet that held a fine group of meetings here on the campus. Juckie is a good speaker, but better than that he carries with his talk the conviction of his own sincerity. Tenement 24 Leads In Discussion Groups Tenement Seven Follows Close Behind Leader With 780 Points With all reports in for the seventh meeting, Tenement 24 still leads in the race between the Bible discussion groups. A score of 806 gives to that tenement first place, while second goes to number 7 with 780 points. Tene ment 20 and 16 are next in line, with 740 and 730, respectively. With only three meetings left, the contest appears to be narrowed down to the two tenements now having the highest scores. Only by a desperate effect on the part of the trailers, can the final results be made different from the indications of the present time. At the last meeting, the question as to whether or not college weakens re ligious faith, was discussed, and the sub ject of the next meeting will be : "Is There a God ; And if so, What Kind ?"
