FROM Y. M. C. A. NOTES M. A. MILLER. The speaker for last Sunday was Rev. R. N. Pratt, pastor of the Second Baptist Church. He gave an inter esting lecture on the subject, "Serving Our Age." The career of David was pictured as one of benefit, profit and service to the age in which David lived. We are to ask ourselves to whom is our service. We must be the servants of God; for surely not that service of sin, of the devil. God should have the preservation, right, and thoughts of our hearts. The age in which we live is far different from that of former days. We are living in the best age. There fore, we ought to study the age. How should we study our age? By spread ing out the affections among our fel lows. Our heart must be in every thing we do.' Then we must ascertain the particular part of service for us and devote ourselves to it. Why should we serve our age? Be cause it is God's will. The greatest things spoken of in the Bible are about those serving their God in the best of their ability. Then, again, our age has served us faithfully from infancy to the present time. This is the only a dgein wn11 : Vl e'i W6olid serve. The Bible Classes have been organ ized under the following leaders: I. Prof. Gee. II. This is a class with student leaders. III. Prof. Bradley. As these classes are ready for work, other students will do well to join now and get the full benefit to be derived from a careful study ol the Bible. It is said that we ought to be famil iar with that which is classic. We ought to know the intellectual kings of the human race. Some of the chief characters of the Bible are classed among the intellectual kings. The Y. M. C. A. in every particular is for all the students. As it is for all, it ought to be well supported and attended by all. Certainly the major ity, if not all, of the students com( from Christian homes. They oughi not to let that Christian spirit be dor mant, and possibly die, because the) are far away from those who are dea1 to them. Many of the students know wha great effort was put forth last year t< get a student secretary. This mov< would have succeeded but for the Leg islature. 'We wish to put forth eve1 still greater effort this year for: student secretary. The need for jus such a man is urgent. Talk this mat f ter over among your fellows and hel: to make a strong, ha'rd pull that wil succeed in getting the student.secre -tary. Get a "devil" boys, get a "devil" 25c.
