Recently several Macollege students were chosen for the Earn and Serve Project. The Earn and Serve program was started in 1954 when the Regional Youth Cabinet made a deputation trip to Texas and Louisiana. The Western Region youth are the beginners in this field of service.
The main motive behind this program is service. Youth help to build new churches or to stengthen the program of others. Leon Neher, Regional Youth Director, stated that the Earn and Serve project “is a new venture in faith which has tremendous possibilities.”
If this program is successful, it may be adopted as a National Youth Project. If it proves successful on that level, it may become an interdenominational UC-YM project.
Last year there were two successful projects. Both of these were in Missouri; one was at St. Joseph and another was at St. Louis.
College students who have been chosen for the Beatrice, Nebr., project are: Ed Switzer, Haxtun, Colo., and JoAnn Negley, Durham, Kas. In Topeka, Kans., will be Mary Lou Wise, Nevada, Ia., and Wanda Soden, Rocky Ford. Colo.
Betty Ann Wise, Nevada, Ia„ and Barbara King, Pampa, Tex., have been chosen for the project in Hutchinson, Kans. Larry Sanders, Des Moines, Ia.; Bill Gripe Geary, Okla.; Eileen Oltman, En-ders, Nebr.; and Lois Fager, Clovis, N. Mex., will be going to Pampa, Tex.
Jeanine Corn, Independence. Kans., will be in Newton, Kans. Two men are still needed for this project.
Various thngs wll be done by these students. Community survey for church site, help with playground for children, assist in youth program, assist pastor, direct youth choir, day camps, and Bible School are a few of the
many ways in which service will be rendered.
Although Earn and Serve Is primarily motivated by service to the church, it is intended to be a means whereby students can earn enough to return to school. The 1957 project workers will find employment in such things as construction, flour mills, as secretaries, hospital aids, waitresses, store clerks.
An MCA picnic will be the last mass meeting on May 16. An offering will be taken for the World University Service project of the MCA.
The MCA council urges all students and faculty members to attend the evening of fellowship and worship.
“Moonlight Melodies” is the theme of the Junior-Senior Banquet to be held tonight in the Walnut Room of the Bisonte Hotel in Hutchinson at 6:30.
Mary Lou Wise and Anne Keim, co-chairmen, have planned a blue and silver setting which will include musical instrument decorations.
On the program arranged by Alma Goodfellow are a speech by Prof. Paul Sollenberger, trom-bone melodies by Irvin Wagner and a narrative presented by Kenneth Fancher depicting the four years of college life of the seniors.
Duane Fike will be master of ceremonies. The conclusion of the program will be "You'll Never Walk Alone" sung by the juniors and dedicated to the seniors.
Plans are swiftly unfolding as McPherson College moves ahead in her Development Campaign. During the past two weeks three teams have been visiting churches in the McPherson area in the interest of the campaign program. These teams are composed of Dr. D. W. Bittinger, Don Rowe, Titus Schrock, Paul Wagoner, and others.
Dr. Bittinger reported that the churches are responding well to the challenge of the $1 per family per month plan. He also stated that on May 19, which is McPherson College Sunday, it is anticipated that many thousands of families will pledge themselves through their churches to this amount.

“God could not be everywhere; therefore, He made mothers,” states a Hebrew proverb. The day for commemorating our Mothers, Sunday, May 12, is once again near.
Although Julia Ward Howe, writer of “Battle Hymn of the Republic,” was the first person to suggest a day commemorating mothers. Miss Anna Jarvis of Philadelphia was the real founder.
Julia wished to establish Independence Day as Mother's Day, making It a day of peace. No one took her seriously. In honor of her own mother and after spending two years in Washington, D. C., Miss Jarvis saw the first Mother’s Day service,
On May 8, 1914, president Wood-row Wilson ordered that the second Sunday in May be observed each year as Mother’s Day by signing a joint resolution in Congress and authorizing that the flag be displayed on all government buildings on that day.
Miss Jarvis selected the white carnation for the Mother’s Day flower, because it was one of the favored kinds in her mother's large flower garden.
An international observance appealed to Miss Jarvis, and before long, England, France, Sweden, Denmark, Hawaii and the Sandwich Islands, Samoa, China, Japan, India, Palestine, and other countries had taken up the idea.
The holiday lasts for two days in Mexico.
Trees are planted on Mother’s Day in commemoration. In 1934, a special United States postage stamp with a picture of Whistler's Mother was issued.
The Golden Rule Foundation’s Mother’s Day Committee sponsors essay contests each year and selects an American Mother of the year. This was a part of which our own “Mom,” Irene Bittinger, was the 1956 Kansas Mother of the year.
We may think with Thomas Edison as we buy that special gift or flowers: "My mother was the making of me, and I felt I had someone to live for, someone I must not disappoint."
Young men have a passion for regarding their elders as senile.— Henry Brooks Adams.
There are some in our society who would push Jehovah-God off his throne and establish a new God. He is variously called, but a comprehensive name for him is Science.
Edward K. Ziegler, pastor of Roanoke, Va. has paraphrased the 23rd Psalm as praise to this new God. He calls it the "Materialists" version.
Science is my Shepherd I shall not want;
He maketh me to lie down on foam-rubber mattresses;
He leadeth me beside six-lane highways.
He rejuvenateth my thyroid glands;
He leadeth me in the paths of psychoanalysis for peace of mind's sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of the iron curtain, I will fear no
communist; for thou art with me; thy radar screen and thy
hydrogen bomb, they comfort me.
Thou preparest a banquet before me in the presence of the world's billion hungry people.
Thou anointest my head with home permanents.
My beer-glass foameth over.
Surely prosperity and pleasure shall follow me all the days of my life; and I will dwell in Shangri-la forever.
But this new GOD REALLY IS without a mind of his own. What we call science is our interpretations based on the various bits of knowledge we have been able to discover.
We know some truth; we have been able to see a little here and a little there. Sometimes when we discover more truth we see that the smaller bit which we saw before was wrongly under-stood by us because we saw so little.
Even yet we know but little truth; we see through a glass but dimly.
All of truth, plus all of love, plus all of forgiveness: that is God. Science just touches a little of that here and there for we are still infants and our knowledge is the knowledge of beginners.
Let us keep searching, therefore. The more we can learn of truth, of love, of forgiveness the better we shall know God.
