Hope's ball tossers annexed a 7-1 victory Friday afternoon over the Warm Friends team of Holland. Al-though the game was in the nature of a practice session it gave the fans a good opportunity'to see the varsity in action. Errors by ' ^ t h . teams were frequent and this served'.to slow-up the Contest considerably.' Ploegenhoef pitched the entire game for the Furnac^v porkers while Al-bers, Poppen and B8f(k^a divided the mound 4yiy of Hope.k% 'Bopj^en and Riemersma were the stars for Hope, the former banging out a four sacker while Beans drove in four runs with his two hits, a single and a double. For the first two frames each team went scoreless but Hope broke the monotony in the third when they shoved 3 runs across the plate. Poppen contributed his homer in the fourth and in the sixth inning 3 more tallies were added, bringing Hope's total to 7. The Warm Friends' lone score came in the final inning when a hit and an error turned the trick. The Hope team plays its next game Saturday, when the Ferris Institute

^ team of Big Rapids will be played on the home grounds.

Just as the sun was lowering in the west, the "Y" girls came together for another hour of fellowship and quiet. Ruth, in her charming manner, told us what she thought "Y" is going to be next year, but she also stressed the fact that the success of "Y" does not depend alone on the cabinet, but on each girl. It's every girl's "Y" and not only for the cabinet members. Several of the girls told us how much "Y" has meant to them, and rflso what they predicated "Y" to be next year. Cornelia's solo added a delight-ful touch to the meeting.

I'm sure that every girl who was at the meeting, received an inspira-tion, and made new resolutions that she 'would do all she could to make this a banner year.

You girls who were not there do not realize the big thing you're miss-ing: not only the inspiration one re-ceives, but the association and the comradeship of the other girts. Its only one hour a week, one hour aside from the hustle and bustle of our busy school life. There isn't one girl who is so busy, that she could not af-ford to set aside that one hour if she really wants to. Let's have all the girls on the campus at the meeting next week, and truly make this every girl's "Y".

POTTER VISITS HOPE " IN QUEST OF SHORT

TERM MISSIONARIES .—o—

We were glad to welcome Mr. Pot-ter back on his annual visit to Hope last week. Mr. Potter, assistant secretary of the Foreign Board, Is one of our "big" men out east. As usual he came to get into intimate touch with Hope's Volunteers, and to find recruits for short term service.

On Thursday morning Mr. Potter spoke at Chapel exercises. We are always proud to hear that visitors are impressed by the reverent atmo-sphere in Chapel. He made known to us in a short talk the reason for his coming. He spoke familiarly of Bud De Wolf, and Chick De Young, both in India and of Bill Vander Meer in China, and of the positions they will soon be leaving vacant. His appeal was for Hope men to fill these gaps, and to live up to the standard that men, like Lubbers and Wierenga have set/ He emphasized the fact that the prime requisite for foreign service is not faith, nor hope, but love. There is no room on the field for a man with a feeling of racial superiority.

Several students took the opport-unity to have a personal conference with Mr. Potter later in the day and it is quite probable that some of these men will go out for short term service in the coming summer.

On Friday, April 20th, the Home Volunteers had the pleasure of listening to Dr. BlekJ^nk of the Sem-inary as he spoke on the presentday need of the ministry.

He first sketched briefly the need of other professions in our commer-cial, political and religious life. The doctor, lawyer, teacher and engineer —all have a great mission to per-form and a decided need-to fill. But after all they minister only to part of the people part of the time,where-as the minister serves all classes of people throuout their whole life,— yes, literally "from the cradle to the grave". Other occupations are ap-parently well supplied with men. One need but look at the over-abundance of college and university graduates who are candidates for positions in the commercial world. In striking contrast we notice that the most im-portant calling of all is without even a moderate supply,

Dr. Blekjdnk further stressed the peculiar attractiveness of the min-istry. First, It calls for every talent that a man has. One need never de-spair or hesitate to enter the minis-try for fear of losing any of his ori-ginality or God-given powers. Then too a minister has the opportunity of serving every walk of life, high or low. Finally, "the door is always open." Humble cottage, wealthy palace, office or store—all are glad to have the messenger of NGod step in and talk about the things which are Eternal.

PREP ATHLETICS

Last week a meeting of prep fel-lows was-called to discuss the pos-sibilities of prep athletics. As a re-sult William Ooms was elected track manager and James Sterenberg was made baseball manager. This year we intend to make baseball a "go" and keep it permanent organi-zation on the Campus. Altho we may not, at first, win a state champion-ship, yet we are hopeful of the future, for from just such little acorns, do great oaks grow. So here's to the success of the Baseball Team. Let's go, fellowsj Come out * and support the team.

—o— Tuesday morning we were given a

most pleasant surprise when it was announced that Mr. F. J. Libby, Exe-cutive Secretary for the National Council for the Prevention of War, would address us. The moment Mr. Libby arose and greeted us with that frank, pleasant smile of ^ood fellow-ship, he had won our favor; and his speech did not disappoint us. The short concise sentences were a fitting supplement to his efficient, business-like air. We were not for a moment in doubt as to what he meant and fre-quently we forgot the speaker alto-gether as we listened to phrases so vivid aiid expressive that they seemed to be the thot itself.

He began by citing several cases of very prominent statesmen, Lloyd George as one, who have dedicated the remainder of their lives to the prevention of war. They know the issue to be tremendously important because, they have investigated the destructive machinery that may be used in the next conflict, if it comes. The task of preventing war is as clearly the duty of the American peo-ple as was the task of abolishing slavery. "If we cannot prevent an-other war," says Mr. Libby, "our civilization is at an end."

Science has enabled us to anni» hilate space by means of the wire-less. Airplanes are constantly mak-ing greater speed records, so that to-day Europe is only hours away. We can remain aloof no longer. "What concerns Europe is of vital interest to us."

Mr. Libby urged that we work along these lines: First, we must have progressive world organization. Individuals settled their disputes by force until there were courts of jus-tice; so will the nations. "We must keep going along the path of arbitra-tion, step by step, feeling our way, until our machinery is adequate." Second, armaments must be reduced. As long as nations compete for the largest fighting ability, there will be no peace. Third, the new genera-tion must be educated to peace. -We must not pass on to them the hoary hatred of the past; 'nor "exalt war as if it were history, with peace an in-terruption."

His final words very eloquently pleaded his cause. "What is educa-tion,—anything, worth if you cannot prevent the next war. There is another way of serving dust

• and liberty Than just to' fling the honor of

young lives Beneath the hoofs of horses.' To build a world in which it is safe

t o r children to be born—that is our task." i

The National contest in oratory will take place at Northwestern Uni-versity on next Friday night. At that time the fD!lowing states will contend for national honors: Carle-ton College, Minn.; University of N. D., North Dakota; Notre Dame Uni-versity, Indiana; Otterbein College, Ohio; Washburn College, Kansas, and Hope College representing Michigan.

The-contest is under the direction of the School of Public Speaking of Northwester^ University. "Si" and Dr. Nykerk will leave for Chicago on Thursday so that they may become somewhat familiar with the hall in which the contest is to be held.

On Friday night the question of the highest honors in oratory will be decided.. Remember Hopeites! we have a representative there who is going in to win, provided that you will supplement his own hard work with your loyal support. Let's all back him up just like we did in the M. 0. L. contest, so that it may act as a further incentive for our repre-sentative to put forth even greater efforts if possible to add this last laurel to Hope's great wreath of vic-tories.

—o— Y. M. C. A.

• —o • The leader of the Y.M.C.A. last

Tuesday evening was Arthur Mulder and the topic, "Streams of Life." This is a very appropriate subject and gives much food for thought. It must be acknowledged that the streams of life comes from God; and that that stream of life is composed of all our individual lives. Some streams flow from pure springs, while others come from stagnant pools. So also in our lives it is nec-essary to know the source of our in-dividual streams. Every life must contribute to make the main streams of life good and it is for each one to decide his contribution to it. Un-less a stream has an active flow, it will become stagnant. Likewise our Christian lives will become stagnant unless we keep active. Therefore we must strive for purity of heart, for if our hearts are clean, our activities will be ambitious and of good char-acter. In the flow of our individual streams of life we should look to God for guidance and direction, byrtieans of the Bible and by prayer. All our course should be directed to the great stream of eternity.

The meeting was active and the time well spent with good testimo-nies. It is in the Y.M.C.A. meetings that the men feel heart to heart con-tact with one another. The fellows who are still remaining away from the meetings are losing a value that con not be estimated in dollars and cents. Let us all come out, fellows, and as the beautiful spring weather comes, may not our places at the reg-ular meetings be vacant.

PREP ORATORICAL QONTEST

INTERCLASS BASEBALL LEAGUE STARTED

The interclass baseball games will be started this week. The games will be in the nature of twilight affairs and each team will play four games. As there is such a wealth of baseball material scattered through the clas-ses, good teams should be developed on a high class type . of ball played. Every student is eligible and notices will be posted as to when each team will be given an opportunity for a practice session.

o — — Watch the team beat Ferris, Satur-

day.

Thursday, April 26, the Prep Ora-torical Contest between members of the A and B class, will be held. It has been the custom for many years for the two upper classes of "Prep" to hold an oratorical contest. Each class may be represented by four members, two girls and two boys. The girls compete only against the girls of the other class, there -being two seperate contests.

The competiters for the girls are: A class, Helen Olgers, Mary Wal-

dron. v

B class, Agnes Tysse. Ft)r the boys they are: A class, Thomas Ten Hoeve, Nel-

son Doak. B class, Peter Holkeboer, Lambert

Olgers.

It has been made evident to those selling tickets for the concert Friday night that a false impression has hold of some on the campus. Judg-ment has been passed upon the abili-ty of the orchestra. There is no foundation for this however. The statement that Friday night is the orchestra's first appearance here this year is supported by the fact that the music furnished on the campus previous to now has been by an aux-iliary orchestra, and in no sense can this be compared to the musicians to play under the direction of Mr. Tul-lar Friday night. Attention has been called to the fact that Miss Pruim has a very important part of the pro-gram. It is expected that no stu-dent will omit this opportunity to support not only what has grown to be one of the most important events of our college social life every year, but to enjoy himself in a way in which he has opportunity only once a year.

How many of us here at Hope real-ize that there is a course offered in the College department in Dutch language and literature? Few know it and still fewer care to trouble Hiemselves with considering it as a desirable part of their general knowl-edge. Get out your new bulletin and road the courses offered in the de-partment of modern languages. Yea, that's something the college student, and even the Hopeite, seems to for-get, that the Dutch language is a modern language. You may become proficient in the use of Latin and 0 Greek, and even talk it fluently, like some of our classical students evince cccasionally, but how much more so the Dutch language? Many of us no doubt are brought into daily con-tact with the Dutch-speaking element still living in our own city. Many of us too, when we go home, must em-ploy that old mother-tongue which alcne is understood well by our par-ents or gran Iparents. And it is an honest fact that some of us—Hope college students—are actually asham-ed to admit that we can speak some Dutch, or read it, or write it. We are most ashamed that we can talk it, and we would blush in the pres-enca of dear friends of ours who cannot understand it, if wo were caught speaking it; as if it were a dis-grace to employ that beautiful langu-age of our fathers, for fear that we might be thought to be speaking Hungarian or Polish, or some other central European language used by the trench digger or some menial worker on the railroad.

Some of us think we can speak pretty good Dutch. We believe that because we were brought up in an atmosphere quite Dutch, and amongst folks who were quite predominantly Dutch in speech and customs, there-fore it will be but a simple matter for us to sit down some time in the future and write and preach a Dutch sremon. As a matter of fact these are quite mistaken. Do you know how many dialects there are to be found of the Dutch language? I don't But I know there is the Friesian, the Zee-land, the Overeisel, the Groneger, the Gelder, and still more variations of that language. These dialects do not in all respects resemble the real high Dutch which is to be found in the valuable Dutch literature which has been preserved for us. Dr. Bavink, and Dr. Kuyper, two noted Dutch theologians are masters in the use of this beautiful language and it is an inspiration to read them, not only for their theology, which is not to be curpaased, and which our seminaries readily admjt, but also for the beauty cf expression and figure. A noted theologian . in Princeton University some years ago was so overcome with the handicap he was suffering in not being able to read Dutch works in theology, that he determined that he must learn that language if he

was to remain proficient in his line of work. For those who are enter-ing the ministry especially, at least a general knowledge of the Dtuch language is almost an absolute neces-sity. We must learn the real Dutch, and not foster the dialect. I am con-vinced htat those who are quite firfn-ly attached to their mother dialect, will find that it will be much more difficult for them to unlearn what in-correct Dutch they know, than to ac-quire a working knowledge of that Dutch which the writers noted in Dtuch literature use.

Remember there is no reason un-der the sun why you should bo ashamed of the language of your fathers, for it ranks as high if not higher in the realm of literature than any other modern language. The Dutch as taught in this school is nothing but the best.

STUDENT FORUM] FOR JUSTIFICATION.

We have given this the title "for justification" in contrast to the arti-cle published a few weeks ago called "for consideration1."

We do not seek in this to either condemn or justify the motion pic-ture, we believe there's as much sane argument on the one side as on the other; we are merely trying to justi-fy a motion picture advertisement in our college publication in the face of the supposed argument against it as found in the above named article.

Let us note the main statements, and lack of argument. First of all, the writer says it is "an unnecessary advertisement—but is however a hindrance," and stops there. In what way is it a hindrance to the paper, and upon what grounds is it unnecessary? For the benefit of the author of that article, let us say that as long as able students of Hope, who have the $1.50 to pay for a sub-scription to the Anchor but sub-scribe in 'groups of foUr and five, each paying a share o ' ther subscrip-tion, just so long wil] these adver-tisements remain a necessity.

Further, "While such an advertise-ment appears jn our college paper the significance of the paper's value is hindered and the polish is readily taken off." From this statement it would be just as logical to accuse any student or faculty member of lack of polish and for lack of signifi-cant value for attending a movie. How illogical to reason and make such statements without any argu-ment whatsoever to show their truth.

"To m^ke a cleaner paper this ad-vertisement should vanish, etc." The opposite of clean we take it the writ-er will agree is unclean. If the pa-per could be more clean then there must be some uncleaniness in the paper. Printer's ink n^ust . in the final analysis remain black, and so we from his own statement conclude that all that is black is unclean, therefore, fellow students, I would say, why make the editorials unclean, why not print these at Ifeast in white ink.

We also challenge the statement that the cinema "hinders rather than builds up morality?" A bit of proof for this statement wouldn't be out of place. To 4 make statements like this is as bad, yes, and even worse than "shocking" a person or two by printing cinema advertise-ments.

Let me say again, I neither justify or condemn the movie as such; I merely uphold the policy of the staff in printing these ads. For, why not get some of our "good money" back in advertising. If our parents object to these ads, let's first of all set them straight on some of the facts.

Dr. Kuizenga at one time said, if we acclaim the movie from the devil, then we must do the same for the printing press. The editor of the "Minister's Monthly", a preacher's journal, edited by a former Christian Reformed minister, wrote recently thus: "There is a formative power in the cinema which neither the living voice nor the printed book or paper possesses."

The pictures advertised in the An-chor have been acclaimed education-al, clean, entertaining, uplifting and instructing by more than one or two thinking men. We should indeed ad-vise that students look over the fence occasionally when they have in mind to throw a stone, it may be that the other side has a bigger one to cast.

EXCELSIOR

increasing in these latter days, it brings, however, no certainty. In the council of modern wisdom is great darkness. It brings us not into the realm of the spiritual, in wihch only the individual or a nation can be in-spired to the highest moral plane. The assertion has been made that great minds are disappearing. The superficiality of modern life lowers the discerning and reasoning powers of men. Must we seek the highest through the material? The present decides which the future shall be. That what we now sow we shall reap. If we sow in the material, we shall reap the temporal. If we sow in the spiritual, we shall reap the eternal. Are our spirits becoming torpid and crystallized in pursuit of the mater-ial? No! Do not permit the spir-itual light to fade. Hold on to what you have, lest that which you have be taken from you.

John Moedt, Prep. '25.

A SENSE OF HUMOR

Though we possess many other admirable characteristics but lack a sense of humor, we, are to pitied. A person who has not an appreciation of the comic cannot so well with-stand the buffeting and knocks he gets in the world.

A sense of humor sees many a per-son through what in a slang phrase is called a "tight place." It changes a disaster to a jobe and saves many a person from embarrassment. For ex-ample a person recently sat on a plate of hot soup, which was placed on a chair, and remarked, amid the shouts of laughter, "well, anyway, * they remembered to serve my soup hot."

A sense of humor suffereth long and is king. It never fails its fortun-ate possessor. Under its influence fault-finding habits pass away, gos-sipping tongues cease wagging and 4 irritating influences vanish.

A sense of humor in parents and those in authority would save many a child from unmerited punishment and many a dorm girl from being campused. It would save many peo-ple from frett ing and fussing and ease the sting of many disappoint-ments and avert much hasty anger.

Admired characteristics are, hope, energy and charity but the greatest and most nedeed of all is a sense of humor. It is a silver thread in a maze of trouble and anxiety.

Y.W. CABINET COUNCIL

The delegates returned from the Y. W. Cabinet Council at East Lan-sing full of vim for the new Y. W. year. The meetings were all very successful. The call for "World Co-operation" rang out loudly and clear-ly throuout the entire conference and each delegate present went home car-rying back with her the resolution to have her Y. W. be an association in which girls would receive a training for true leadership. It was felt that the leadership should be of a Chris-tian character, that it should begin on the girls' own campus, and that it should be a leadership and not a "driver-ship."

In addition to receiving this won-derful inspiration, the delegates en-joyed a very pleasant week end. The beautiful campus of the M.A.C. was an important factor in the happy time, then also the Y.W. girls of M.A.C. were very successful hostess-es. The features that proved their hospitality were the banquet Satur-day night and breakfast Sunday morning.

The conference ended with an im-pressive meeting in front of the fire-place. The several resolutions which came up during the meetings were enumerated so that each one could get them definitely fixed in her mind to take home.

Fellow students, there is a call in the land for assurance and certainty. The apathy of intellectualism gives us no peace. Many are lost in the quicksands of modem branches of learning, others rest content with psychic phenomena. Our languid spir-its must be revived. Knowledge is
