MISSION STUDY 3EGAN IN TENEMENTS TUESDAY The mission study program of the Y" began Tuesday night with classes tarted in most of the tenements on the campus. The other classes will itart work with the first regular meeting this Tuesday night. The sys- I ten of scoring will be the same as that used last fall with the exception of there being no credit for visitors. Another unique thing about the pro gram for this spring is the system that will be used to swap members of classes. A great many of the students feel that one of the contributions of the Bible classes and mission classes has been the spirit of friendship that has been developed among the men of the tenement.. With this in mind this time there will be a program arranged whereby twvo men from each class will risit another class each night so that men my become better acquainted with each other in the various lparts of e campus. The 'subject of the next sson will be "The motive of foreign issions and what do they aim to do." he members of the classes are asked consider the: following questions uring the week and come prepared discuss them this Tuesday. 1. What are the 5 outstanding char ateristics of Christ ? 2. What motives impelled the apos les to missionaries? 3.

State your idea of the objectives or aims of the foreign mission pro gram. 5. Outline steps necessary to carry out this objective. The "Y" hopes that a large number of the men at the University will be really interested enough in the pro tramn of work to give some serious study to the work and suggest that Part of the time on Sundays be used in this way.

Tralle in his address to the Sunday evening meeting of the "Y." Dr. Tralle talked on the different ways that the Bible may be studied and some of the faults that arise from each method. His advice is to study the Bible practically and that means scientifically also. "See Christ in your own life and the way that he would act were he confronted with the same problems that you are today," he said. "Some people study the Bible con troversially," he added. "Just to be able to argue and quote verses as the authority. That plan does not work because so many of the wvords now mean opposite what they did when translated by King James." "My advice," he concluded, " is to study the Bible, not in sections or ver ses, but as a wvhole. By this, one can become interested and wvhen interested, one can get a practical knowledge easily." ?Exdiagir Nem'a 3iIema Thel University of Ohio has a C'hioese Glee Club under the direction! of Cheng Me Stun. a grada ate student of Shantung.

Derrick talked to the Press Club at their meeting Wed nesday evening on, "The Field of County Journalism." Different problems that are facing the rural settlements and the aid that could be given by the newspapers was brought out in the discussion. "It takes more missionary zeal to get out and teach the illiterate grown people of the rural settlements than it does to teach a heathen," said Profes sor Derrick. "We still have in this state 18.5 per cent. illiterate, not count ing the negroes, Sixty-five per cent. of the farms are tilled by tenants who move on the average of every two and a half years. Public health records show that 30 per cent. of the children die before they reach the age of seven years. Only 60 per cent of the land is under cultivation. The problems are plain." "The county papers are not doing their share of the work and the best way to help these conditions is through the medium of the small town papers. 1*ditorials discussing the needs and the solutions of these problems should be run," he concluded. "That is the best way to solve the problem." Dr. Ball made a few remarks on the same topic. After this, the meeting was adjourned. -U.s.c.
