Fourth-To train all students, who
remain at home, in intelligent, active
sympathy with missions.
During the twenty-three years of its
existence its direct and indirect results
have been as follows:
1. Nearly one thousand institutions
of higher learning in the United States
and Canada have been reached.

missions in 1,920 classes in 531 insti

have been led to support graduates in
the foreign field, and some have
founded and are maintaining separate
missions of their own, such as the
Yale, the Princeton, the Oberlin and
the University of Pennsylvania eniter
p)rises in China.
7. It has universally led to a deeper
and more widespread spirit of Chris
tian consecration and to higher ideals
in the educational institutions in this
country and Canada.

zation of the Laymen's Missionary
Movement andl the Young Peoplie's

While the significance of a conven
tion like this is very evident to one
who attends it, and gets into the spirit
of it, yet it is hard to bring it home
and impart it to your fellow-workers.
To us it means the awakening, as in
the words of the watchword of the
movement, the evangelization of the
wvorld in the present generation. T1he
dlawn of this awvakening has alreadly
comle. The evangelization is now in
p)rocess, the rep)orts are encouraging.
A broader and a brighter dlay is falling
on Christendom. The studenits of our
iland arec aroused on the future of
Christendom, and the students rule.
They are giving their lives for Christ's
ats never b)efore. May God speed the
wvork.

man; Simpson, pitcher and outfielder,
for the past three years a member of
the varsity squad; Havird, whose
favorite occupation is selling bananas,
but whose great catch saved the Vir
ginia game, will again try for his old
)osition in left field; Trippett, second
baseman of the State championship
team of 1908; and last, but not least,
Tommie McMillan, the best college
shortstop in the State, will be at his
old place again this season. Other
men who played with the scrubs last
year are Metz, Waring, Simkins, Cain
and Lipscomb.
Among the many new men who are
going to try for the team there are
some who come to us with good repu
tations. Wideman is one of our most
valuable acquisitions. He has made
an enviable reputation as a ball player,
having played third base for Chester
in the State League and later playing
independent ball with Lincolnton, N.
C. Foxworth also is a player of
much note. - He has played fast ama
teur ball throughout this and adjoin
ing States. Other men who will try
are V. N. Graydon, Mills, Wilson,
Woodrow, Wyche, Riley and others.
Manager Graydon has not completed
his schedule yet, but he has already
arranged dates with a number of large
institutions, and lie assures the team
that they have sonic good trips. He
will have his schedule ready for pub
lication in about two weeks.

The mining of gold and diamonds,
especially gold, is playing a big part in
the commercial world, and has much
to do, we are told, with the financial
affairs of all nations. The address of
Dr. Twitchell enlightened many upon
the subject, and no doubt some will be
encouraged to make a further study
of this phase of commercial affairs.
