Shall We Although many of us don't realize it, the

fu tu re of the Reformed Church is being

formed now. Every church in the entire de-

nomination is seriously and prayerfully con-

sidering the question of our joining the

United Presbyterian Church. Every member of the church should carefully view both sides of the question before a truly intelligent de-cision can be made. .How many of us know any of the details considering union? We have all heard of it, but few of us have taken the time to realize that our Christian lives and the lives of many other people will be changed by the decision one way or the other. The adults of the church seem to be the ones mainly concerned with the problem while it is we, the fu tu r e adults and leaders, who will reap the harvest of degenerating effects of the union.

How can we become better informed about church union? The Reformed Church has prepared several sources of information de-signed for the sole purpose of acquainting us with the problem. Copies of the Statement on Union and Information on the Plan of Union can be obtained from Reverend James E. Hoffman, 56 F i f t h Avenue, New York 10, New York. Any student is invited to send for such pamphlets. Also the Church Herald has featured several articles concerning the pro and con of church union. The Committee on Church Union is assuming responsibility for a column in which arguments fo r or against union, suggestions and questions, comments on material, and replies to that comment will be printed. And of course open-minded conversations with well-informed persons serves an excellent means of educa-tion.

Why couldn't we have a panel-discussion

in a joint Y meeting to discuss this timely problem? Would it be possible to fea ture an assembly where sincere Christian men hold-ing varying viewpoints would state the fac ts as they understand them? The Christian s tudents of Hope College should not only in-dividually search for the facts, but the col-lege should strive to awaken in the students the realization of the importance of the deci-sion which must be made in the near fu ture . This is a question of how best to promote Christ 's kingdom on earth. It should receive our most prayerful and sincere consideration.

CHRISTmas '"Christmas to the vast throngs is little

more than a noisy excuse for meretricious salesmanship, for urging one and all to buy unwanted presents for their friends, to the profit of the dollar-hungry. For a month before the Feast, the cry is: 'Buy! Adeste Fideles. Nylons for your lady! . . . It Came Upon a Midnight Clear. What came. Mum-my ? Santa Claus, my darlings.' "

So writes sharp-penned Canon Bernard hidings Bell in the current Faith and Thought, bulletin of the Episcopal faculty and students at the University of Chicago. The de-Christianizing of Christmas is a sore blot on the American scene when the month of December rolls around. The emphasis is on giving and getting, and mostly on get-ting, ra ther than on the t rue meaning of Christmas — the birth of the Messiah. As one looks over the situation in this country as Christmas draws near, the celebration appears almost as one in the commemora-tion of commercialism. The season has be-come one that is overburdened with social obligation and mercantile custom.

Most certainly, it should be a joyous sea-son. Families are gathered together, f r iends join in celebration, and children revel in tlie merry time. But, we should become more Christ-minded about Christmas. We have given prominence to a worldly Santa Claus with little or no thought to the birth of the Saviour. Let us Put Christ Back Into Christ-mas!

Our Chapel Service Daily devotional exercises are not as ef-

fectively and completely fulfilling their pur-pose to "minister to the spiritual growth of the student and serve as a unifying force among the student body" (p. 21, Hope Col-lege Bulletin, 1948-1949) as they might. The facts which support this generalization are numerous and obvious. But the underlying reason for this situation are not nearly so obvious^ and the ways in which chapel im-provements ought to be made are more diffi-cult to perceive.

Perhaps one of the ways in approaching this situation would be to think through personally the meaning and answers of such questions as these: What should chapel ex-ercises have as their goal? In what way can these services minister to my spiritual needs? What can I contribute to the gen-eral atmosphere in a chapel service? Can I lead a service which will be meaningful to o thers? And if so, what preparation is re-quired on my pa r t ? Can I get to chapel dur-ing the singing of the first hymn and still maintain a reverent at t i tude during the chapel exercises? Am I benefiting f rom chapel devotions, and if not, is it my faul t or the faul t of someone else? How can morn-ing worship be improved?

Chapel service has great potentialities. They can become actualities. But this will be the case only through our individual reali-

zations of the meaning and purpose of t rue

worship, only through a vital and voluntary

recognition of 'God's place in each of our

days.

Architect Prepares Plan of Alterations

Plans a re being made and will

soon be carr ied out for the remodel-

ing and redecoration of the wo-

men's lounge on the second floor of

Van Raal te Hall. The plans involve

tear ing out par t i t ions and changing

the plumbing. The architect, who

has also d rawn up the blueprints

for the new women's dormitory,

decided to break through the par -

tition and make the lounge in an

L shape, allowing more light to enter f rom one window. A vanity and la rge mirrors , new fu rn i tu re and drapes will be installed in the lounge. The est imated cost for this project is $ 1 , 0 0 0 . T h e faculty Dames raised $400 for the remodel-ing by their money making project at Tulip Time and last year the WAL contributed $200, which they made a t the Penny Carnival. The WAL Board decided at their last meet ing to pledge to the project whatever profits arc cleared a t this year ' s Penny Carnival , which is to be held Februa ry 17. With this pledge, the work will be begun be-fore C h r i s t m a s a n d continued through Chr i s tmas vacation.

Students Describe Christmas Customs

I R C m e m b e r s l e a r n e d h o w

Chris tmas is celebrated in other

lands a t the i r meeting, Dec. 7, in

Van Raal te lounge. Masie Korel-

ing introduced f o u r s tudents who

gave gl impses of the fes t ive sea-

son abroad. Rod Stevenson read a

selection about the French Christ-

mas. Gerry Hobler took us to

Mexico with i ts Spanish-Indian-

Catholic t radi t ions. Wal te r Meyer

gave a humorous account of Christ-

mas in G e r m a n y where San ta Claus br ings the devil wi th him on

his rounds. Margare t Wolfensper-

ger represented the Nether lands and asked us how we in America became confused enough to think tha t Santa Claus comes f rom the North Pole with re indeer when any good Hollander knows tha t originally Saint Nick came f r o m Spain on a big white stallion.

During the business meeting, president Bill Laughl in announced tha t the UNESCO Committee of the IRC had already collected a ton and a half of badly needed books to be sent to a devastated university in Manilla, the Philli-pine Islands. The Internat ional Re-lations Club will conduct a drive fo r used text books a f t e r the Chris tmas holidays fo r these s tu-dents in genuine need.

Vice-pres. Masie Kortel ing an-nounced t h a t the first meet ing of the new year would f e a t u r e a very interest ing and s t imula t ing talk and slide demonstra t ion by Mickey Van Egmond, Hope College senior f rom Canada. IRC urges all in ter-ested s tudents to a t tend.

Here a r e some f a c t s about the "Messiah."

I t is the most -per formed work in Engl ish-speaking countries.

The "Mess iah" is actual ly Handel 's least represen ta t ive work; he was p r imar i ly an opera composer.

The first ful l rendi t ion of the orator io in America was a t Boston in 1818. Ex t r ac t s f rom the "Mess iah" were sung in Tr ini ty Church, New York, in 1770.

Twenty Biblical wr i te r s a re represented in the text of the oratorio.

Several of the choruses

were ear l ier secular works which the composer revised.

Only one-fifth of the music was Chr is tmas music; the res t was fo r Eas te r .

The "Mess iah" was first given in Dublin f o r the bene-fit of an o rphanage by a chorus of only 20 s ingers .

Kenneth Itrinza and Kvnnvth Pollard (thoicn above), as their quent

for the Knickerbocker Fraternity, had tit pretend 'that they uere a

couple planninn to be married. Their detailed requiwiHents were to

obtain medical certificates for marriage, to take them to the City Hall

and have an affidavit made for marriage license, and then have a date

set for the fictitious ivedding. Pollard obtained his feminine clothing,

used theatrical make-up, and played his role well. In consequence, the pledges successfully completed their assignment.

HOPE LEADS ALL-SPORTS RACE Dutch Dominate All-MIAA

;

Typical of the members of the 1949 Hope grid squad, probably the best in the school's history, are

the five men pictured above who set a netc mark for the college as to the number of men placed on an

all-MIAA team. The quintet of Hopeites missed a league record by one position — Hillsdale placed six

members on the all-league team in 1938. Top, left is Bill Hohcerda, top ground-gaining end in the con-

f e r e n c e with 170 yards and two touchdowns on nine catches. To his right is Rip Collins, probably the

most rugged lineman in the league, tcho received a bid to try out with the Los Angeles pro squad. Bot-

tom, left is Clair DeMull, a third-year all-MIAA selection at end who during the past season picked up

116 yards and two touchdowns on eight pass receipts. Center is ISick Yonker, for four years an all-loop

quarterback whose passing sparked the Dutch and provided seven touchdowns in league competition.

Yonker received a pro bid from the Cleveland Rams. At the right is Abe Moerland, captain of the team

and a second-year man on the all-MIAA eleven. Sheer power made up for Abe what he lacked in size,

making him one of the best guards in the conference.
