theme “Christ—Everything, Every
where.” The special to])ic is John

and the Life and no man cometh
unto the Father but by Me.”
Programs before Christmas will be
based on the subject “I am the Way”
—the AVay of Surrender, the Way of
Prayer, the Way of Service, the Way
of Peace, and others.
The program committee believes
that these programs will prove of
real practical value to every mem
ber of the student body and it is
