But in 1948, the present chapel was moved in section to its present location on College Avenue from Victoria Air Force Base where it had served as a military chapel. The newest addition to the real estate is a building housing class rooms, a modern kitchen, a din ing hall and a fully equipped rec reation room. The Rev. Anderson is proudest of the kitchen and Cashion Me morial Lounge. He said the kitch en was the only one which could boast two refrigerators and two stoves. Cashion Lounge is a read ing and record lounge with com fortable furnishings. “At first,” said the Rev. Ander son, “the college held morning ses sions during Religious Emphasis Week, and the churches held the evening meeting.” He added that he liked the pres ent method much better. “I think we have one of the best Religious Emphasis Weeks you’ll find any where,” he added. The pastor said RE Week now was brought directly to the cam pus instead of into the churches. He added that the administration had a fine spirit of cooperation during the week in allowing class es to be excused in order for stu dents to attend the meetings. One of the handicaps faced by Napoleon’s armies in their retreat from Russia was lack of salt ne cessary to help heal wounds. Fellowship Meet Scheduled Tues.

V. ; ■ I I F" P Would it really help to have an instrument to predict the storms of life? When the barometer falls it’s too late to build a sea wall or to dig a cyclone cellar. Wise men prepare when the wind is calm. A leaking roof must be mended while the sun shines. The Church does not claim to provide a barometer of life. But it preaches every Sunday the spiritual readiness which climaxed Christ’s Sermon on the Mount: “Whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man which built his house upon a rock: “And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat upon that house. . . . “And it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.” Copyright 1959, Keister Adv. Service, Strasburg, Va, THE CHURCH FOR ALL . . . ALL FOR THE CHURCH The Church is the greatest factor on earth for the building of character and good citizenship. It is a storehouse of spiritual values. Without a strong Church, neither democracy nor civilization can survive. There are four sound reasons why every person should attend services regularly and support the Church. I hey are: (I) For his own sake. (2) For his children's sake. (3J For the sake of his community and nation. (4) For the sake of the Church itself, which needs his moral and material support. Plan to go to church regularly and read your Bible daily.
