Address, Room 326, R. I. Hospital, 66th St. Avenue A. MRS. WOODY LEADS Y. W. C. A. Mrs. Waldo Woody gave a most interesting and helpful talk to the Young Women's Christian Associa tion last Thursday evening. Feb. 10th. Mrs. Woody began by reading John 15:11. She then compared our lives -with the vine. We should be living branches, not lifeless wood. No mat ter whether we choose to wrok at home or abroad, we are missionaries. Christ sends us and expects us to bear his points. There is no need of a new organization to save so ciety today. All that is needed is for men and women, boys and girls all over the earth to quietly receive in the secrecy of their own hearts to join the discipling of Christ. To what are we consecrated? There is something better than yielding our lives to a fixed principle as - a de termined purpose. It is the yielding of our lives to a person, God and our Savior, Jesus Christ. John R. Mott said "Let us remember that it is con secration to God and not to a field, not to an occupation. We need not be concerned about the field or the occupation when God and his will are our supreme desire." Mrs. Woody then gave some of the needs of the foreign fields and most especially Cuba, the one in which she served as a missionary for several years. If a small candle is put in a dark land the light from it may be com pared with Christianity among the heathen. There are so many and so few know about Christ. A great need of schools is felt in the for eign lands. In China only one per son out of one thousand can read, in Japan only six out of one thousand, while in the United States eight hundred and ninety out of one thou sand are able to read. She closed by repeating the twenty-third Psalm in Spanish. MARVIN SHORE LEADS Y. M. C. A The T. M. C. A. was ably con ducted last Thursday night by Mar vin Shore, who made a very helpful talk on "Ideals." The speaker used as his text a passage in ihe Bible which reads as follows. "Daniel purposed in his heart not to defile '"in,.self tut to seek fo • understand ing and know the will of God." He pointed out, how in early life Dan iel had learned to choose and reject discreetly, and how later he was able to come to a foremost place among the nation's men on account of his boyhood decisions. "The greatest decison of any per son is to decide for Christ, having as his purpose to live and work for Him." "Our real habits." the speak er pointed out, "are th* ones which are formed in our early life and the young man or woman who sows wild oats is only fastening to himself or herself chains which will eventually bring one to degradation." "Having once set our goal let us work toward that goal and permit nothing to come between us and our purpose except the things which will tend to make our lives better. Col umbus, in spite of great opposition 'sailed on' and won. There were limes when he no doubt was discour aged and at a loss how to proceed but he had fixed his purposed and had created his ideal although the attaining of that ideal cost him his life in the end. Sail upward, even as Columbus sailed onward, though through enjoyment and sor row, and some time there will come i.he guiding light and we shall know the victory to be ours." Daniel purposed in his heart not to defile himself. There are Daniels today and there are temptations as bad or even worse than those which he had to fight. Daniel won because he followed his convictions, first knowing that his convictions were right. The woi-ld is in need of men and women of Daniel's type. DR. & MRS. BINFORD ENTERTAIN (CoNTIUED FROM PAGE ONE ) ism. His poems are also noted for their daring imagery and the amazing sudden changes from the ridiculous to the sublime;.
