I fines Says Those
Spiritually Guided
Are Sons Of God
DIRECTORS MEET
THIS WEEKEND
There is nothing- in the New
Testament to sustain the common
ly held belief that all men are sons
of«God, Bishop John E. Hines this
morning told the faculty and stu
dent audience which again filled
(ii«on haft.
“Made in the image of God,” he
said to the Religious Emphasis
week gathering, “means that there
is a natural universal and perman
ent relationship of creaturely de
pendence between man and his
Maker. Only some men, namely
those guided by the spirit of God,
can rightly be called sons of God.”
Hines said modem man has con
stantly tried to evade the fact
there is nothing in our birth, as
such, that offei-s us any guaran
tee of Heaven. “Actually,” he ad
ded, “there is everything- in our
birth which indicates that we shall
end in Hell, since our heritage
as natural man — is our bondage
to sin and corruption which makes
us prodigals and spiritual orphans
rather than sons.”
As RE week reaches the mid
point, dormitory leaders repoi-t
that attendance at the forums and
groups has been very
YMCA chapel Monday evening to
hear the topic, “Two Shadows in
the Sun: A Happy Marriage.”
Porterfield passed out forms to
the married couples which called
for an analytical report on how
the other marriage partner would
ate the marriage by answering-
selective questions.
Last night a couple presented an
impromptu skit in which the two
hypothetically changed places for
meeting at the end of the day’s
work. The husband, playing the
part of the wife, behaved as he be
lieved the wife should behave when
he returns home. The wife acted
out how she felt the husband
should behave after a day’s worle.

No Summer School
For ROTC Camper
A postmaster has not yet
been named for College Station
and N. L. McCullough, acting
postmaster, said he has no
idea who the new man will be.
McCullough took over the
job last year when T. O. Wal
ton retired.
He said it was “rather un
usual” for the office to go this
long unfilled, but he did not
know when a new postmaster
would be appointed. President
Eisenhower recently sent a list
of new postmaster appoint
ments to the Senate for con
firmation, but College Station
was not among them.
The Serenaders male quartet of
Chicago will be the next Town Hall
attraction in Guion hall at 8 p.m.
Monday, according to C. G. (Spike)
White of the student activities de
partment.
The original pui-pose in foi-ming
the quartet four years ago was to
secure Chicago’s finest male voices,
then blend them into the Midwest’s
most glorious quartet.
As a quartet they have appeared
on the Harvest of Stars, Treasury
of Music radio shows, on the NBC
television show, “Garroway-At-
Large,” the Norman Ross show and
Hawkins Falls dramatic show.
As soloists, they have appeared
on practically every major network
program which originates from
Chicago, including Mutual’s Chi
cago Theatre of the Air, Hymns of
All Churches and Music from the
Heart of America.
Season passes are good for this
performance or tickets may be ob
tained from student activities of
fice in Goodwin hall or at the door.
Tickets are $2 for adults and $1
for students.
