Claude U. Broach dis cussed "If I Should Die Before i Live" at the concluding convoca tion of Religious Emphasis Week yesterday. The Rev. Mr. Broach is minister of the St. John's Baptist Church in Charlotte, N. C. During his talk, the Rev. Mr. Broach discussed the idea that it is a greater tragedy to have the gift of life and end it without realizing the high value of life than it is merely to die, because physical death is inevitable. "Religion is not a negation of the joy of life, but is an avenue, the one avenue, by which we may ar rive at the real joy of life and the realization of life's deepest mean ing." There are four main things which are a Christian's responsi bility: to be strong in the midst of ickness; to be pure in the midst :f compromise; to be unselfish in the midst of greed; and to be for giving in the midst of pride. At the fourth convocation on Wednesday, Father Gerard Ma guire, instructor of Bible at the University of Texas, in Austin, de elared, "God cannot be served wvith ignorance, Hie must he served with truth, and to overlook the truth is suicide." Father Maguire's address, which was entitled "Intellectual Suicide," .tressed the fact that the pattern 4f prayer and worship is accepted by a child without. hesitation, and that we, as adlults, should learn to riticize them, but never to attack Melodrama The UJniversity Theater will pre sent '"The Curse of an Aching Heart" or "Trapped in the Spider's Web!" next Thursday and Friday. evening in Drayton hall. Written by Herbert E. Swayne, the play is a modern treatment of an old-time melodrama involving the villain with a long moustache, the hard-working farm couple and their daughter just returned from college, a boarding school teacher, and an honest and industrious farmhand who is framed by the villain. The heroine is played by Bernice Silverman andl Windermiere High tower, the villain, is portrayed by Jim Sitgraves.

In this way we can learn to serve God better. Taking as his text "And Because Wickedness Hs, Multiplied, Most Mens ' Love Grows Cia," the 1tev. Edmund H. Steimle reviewed the events of the past three decades at the Tuesday convocation. "The surging wave of Idealism following World War I ended in disillusionment and depression," he told his audience. "The time was ripe for false prophets and so I World War II was the consequence. There was no resulting wave of idealism, but of futility," he said. "The outlook is brighter today be cause of the growing interest in theology not as a science but be cause people are concerned about God as well as their neighbors." "Who Am I?" was the topic se lected by the Rev. James Stirling, pastor of Holy Trinity Episcopal Church in West Palm Beach, Flor ida, for the second convocation Monday. The Rev. Mr. Stirling de clared that the two great questions in any religion are, "Who is my God?" and "In View of That, What am I Like?" "It's the Real Thing!" was the title of the opening convocation of Religious Emphasis Week. The Rev. Wilson 0. Weldon, pastor of the Memorial Methodist Church, in Thomiasville, N. C., led the pro gram, and Ramona Salley gave the (call to worship. All convocations were based on the theme for the week, "Alterna tive to Futility," and the motto, "God is Our' Refuge and Strength."
