Wc had an idea several months ago which has been bothering lis but only recently have wc had facts to substantiate it. First proof that our idea had possibilities came from an editorial published in the Highland Comity News. The editorial was written in gratitude to John C. Howell, Stetson Ministerial student, for services rendered as pastor of thc First Baptist Church of Sebring. Wc were particularly interested in this paragraph of the editorial which read, '". . . We have been impressed with his studied preparation of his sermons, the air of calm assurance with which he spoke, the manner in which he carried out the service.'' Tf Howell can please the people of Sebring surely he could please the students of Stetson. Our idea received another big boost when Herb Dudley, Stetson's nat;onally famous diamond-ball star, stood proudly before classmates in Chapel services Monday morning and told how he became a Christian. In simple, sincere, everyday words Herb made more people want to be Christians than most preachers do in months. No chapel speaker that ever spoke in tlie Elizabeth Flail has had/more respect from an audience than did Herb Dudly Monday. Herb had a story to tell and told it straight from the shoulder and the people wore impressed. They listened for everv word and when he finished, it made you feel nice and clean inside. It is good to say you know a swell guy like Dudley. "I'm not an ordained pastor or even a ministerial student," Dudley tcld the students. Maybe he isn't, but he should. We don't mean to say that Howell and Dudley are the only examples we have . . . Wallace Webb, Wallace "Register, Bob Pinder, Roland Barrington, Bryon Brasington and many more are equally representative. To get to the point, our idea is, "Why not let the students play a more active part in chapel services?" Thc idea sounds logical to us. It would be good experience for the students; it would better acquaint the students; and last, the students prefer students and less announcements, book salesmen and the like. A\ e realize that planning chapel services every dav is too much for any one person. Why-not give the students a chance to exercise some of their ideas? Top Focus Week Leaders D-.
