Smooth Roads vs Hotrods
"Why don't they fix these roads" or "This road is
ill holes" are several expressions used to describe
roads in Beaumont and on our campus.
The roads on our campus are being improved and
hard surfaced, but a few inconsiderate automobile
owners have persisted in tearingthese roads up be-
fore they are even finished.
Cardinal Drive in front of the dining hall was re-
cently hard surfaced and needs to set for several
weeks. Students "dig out" on the road and now it is
doomed to have these holes in it.
If students will refrain from "digging out" on this
road and other roads we will enjoy smooth streets
on our campus.
Remember, our college is what we make, it, and
that goes for the roads on our campus also.
Bougton Exhibits
Five Oil Paintings
William H .Boughton, head
of Lamaris art department,
is currently exhibiting a
selection of five oil paint-
ings at the Beaumont Art
Museum.
The five paintings which
make up the exhibition are
the same five which were
submitted by Mr. Boughton
two years ago to be ex-
hibited in various cities
)throughout Europe, parti-
cularly in France.'
In an effort to promote a
■better understanding of
Americans by the French,
the French ambassador
and the Director of Cul-
tural Relations at the
American Consulate in
Paris invited ten Ameri-
can artists to contribute
five of their paintings
which they felt were most
representative of Ameri-
can life and culture.
The tour lasted a year and
enjoyed a very favorable
reception at each showing.
Mr. Bouthton's repre-
sentative in New York, the
Meltzer Gallery, arranged
a showing when the paint-
ings were returned to the.
United States and now
Beaumonters have an op-
portunity to see that por-
tion of tne show contribu-
ted by Mr. Boughton.
The show opened Oct. 7
and will continue through
Oct. 19. Gallery hours are
from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
I Tuesday t h r o u gh Friday
and from 2 to 5 p.m. on
Sunday.
GOD
is no policeman!
You've heard it said that
Episcopalians are "lib-
eral" —that they and their
Church don't take a firm
stand on the subject of sin.
TTiat's qutie a long way
from true.
To an Episcopalian, sin
isn't a long list of don'ts.
It's a matter of not obeying
God's will for us. We see
His will mo s t clearly in
the Sum mary of the Law
as expressed by our Lord
Jesus Christ when He said,
"Thou shalt love the Loro,
thy God with all thy heart
and w i th all thy soul and
with all thy mina. This is
the first and great comm- i
andment. Ana the second
is like unto it. Thou shalt
love thy neighbor as thy-
self. On these two comm-
andments hang all the law
and the prophets."
To us, the religion which
forbids all pleasure as sin
is the variety of religious
legalism which Christ con-
demned in the Pharisees.
We can’t visualize God as
policeman, walking His
beat watching to see if we
break some little law.
We know that, only with
His help, can we approach
the standards set by God.
So we try. And when we
gather to worship Him on
Sunday,we ask forgiveness
for our sins and strength
to try again.
