Midweek Formal Worship Service InauguratedThe increased spirit of reverence and the warm enthusiasm shown by students of the College at the initiation of Formal Mid-Week Religious Services October 7 was a source of justifiable pride to College authorities who inaugurated the service. Because of the inability of many non-resident students to attend the College vespers on Sunday, and at the same time to strengthen the overall religious program, the Mid-Week Formal Worship Service will be held each Wednesday morning throughout the school year.DR. THOMAS FIRST SPEAKEROn hand to deliver the first in the series of worship messages was Dr. Janies S. Thomas, Associate Director, Section of Secondary and Higher Education, General Board of Education, The Methodist Church. He was introduced by President Brawley.Using as a subject, “What Is It To Grow?”, Dr. Thomas said that “we should grow into the kind of personalities seeing us and knowing us would want to emulate.” He pointed out two areas of growth—growth in wisdom, which he said came not from the collection of facts, but through wrestling with great ideas; and growth in stature. “It is not so much that we understand the ideas with which we wrestle, but that we grow in the process”, he asserted.The speaker concluded with the proposition that “there is no real separation between the higher learning and religion” since both aim toward the growth of man.Other worship speakers have been Walter Willis, Jr., senior and an aspirant for the pastorate; Dr. Charles Allen, pastor of Grace Methodist Church; Dr. M. L. King, pastor of Elizabeth Baptist Church, Dean of Women Phoebe F. Burney, Nimrod Reynolds and Rev. William S. Mercer.
