Four great choices face man, said Dr. E. Stanley Jones, world famous author and lecturer, at the last college assembly: the choice of a life work, of a life mate, of life habits, and of a life faith.
Concerning a life mate, he quipped: “If it’s love at first sight, look again.”
“Choose habits that further you, not those that fight you,” the eminent author stated, expounding on the choice of life habits.
Dr. Jones dealt blow after blow to the belief by some that science and religion conflict. “Science,” he said, “relates to the quantitative aspect of life, religion to the qualitative aspect.” He used special emphasis when he said that we must love our fellow man as well as our God.
Speaking of his decision to accept Christ and of the subsequent rewards, Dr. Jones said, “If you can find something better than Christ, take it.”
The audience of TC students, faculty, and visitors showed approval of Dr. Jones’ remarks by giving him a standing ovation at the conclusion of his talk.
Texarkana College students and faculty were fortunate in being able to hear Dr. Jones in an assembly program. The famous author and lecturer was in Texarkana for a series of meetings at the Williams Memorial Methodist Church. He was introduced in the TC assembly by the Reverend Wallace T. Shook Jr., pastor of the church.
