Presbyterians Have Heard
Sermans in Many Locations*
Rev. Norman Anderson
. . . Presbyterian Pastor
(Ed. Note: This is the fourth in
a series of articles designed to fa
miliarize students with churches
in the area in connection with the
coming Religious Emphasis Week.)
By ROBBIE GODWIN
Battalion Staff Writer
The Rev. Norman Anderson, pas
tor of the A&M Presbyterian
Church since 1928, can remember
when the services of his church
were held in the Campus Theater.
Befhre the present church was
built in 1948, Rev. Anderson was
constantly on the move from one
building to another. At first,
services were held in the assembly
room and the chapel of the YMCA.
From there the congregation went
to Guion Hall, then to the old As
sembly Hall located at the present
new chapel location near Puryear
Hall. From there, the pulpit was
coved to the Campus Theater.

said Rev. Anderson. 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.

BAROMETER OF LIFE
_ • __ . ,
■ . 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.”

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.
