' SEVENTH STREET CHURCH NOTES. Miss Marie S. Lindsay Dr. Wyche spoke Sunday morning from Isaiah 45:9, “Woe unto him that striveth with his maker!" The speaker said these words were spoken with the deepest emotion. When we come to that which we cannot understand, there is no need of complaining; we should take it to God, the Invisible. We cannot fathom the depth of His counsel. God cannot fail. We ' must not question or criticise Him. He does not reveal Himself fully. A father does not explain every thing to his child. To attempt to give an explanation would . only confuse the child. If we could fathom the depth of His counsel, He would no longer be a God we could serve , or worship. There are times in our lives, as in ancient times, when God seems to stand against us, but we must remember, He is a God we cannot see. We need not cry, “Why hast thou forsaken me? Why is it I am left in this state?" It is at this time that people charge God with their burdens. We should go to God (on our knees. Rev. William A. Grigg preached for us Sunday night.

This Conference is the out growth of the International Student Volunteer Movement held in Detroit, Mich., in late December, and has the same purpose in view as that Confer ence. It is composed of stu dents from all colleges of North Carolina of both races. The “Y” sept Mr. A. J. Clem ent, Jr., as delegate, and from his report one gleaned that the Conference was something new and altogether different from he usual order of things in North Carolina. Primarily this body of young students held the teachings of Jesus and surely they lived up to them. At all sessions there was not the slightest show of prejudice or hatred toward any of the foreign or colored stu dents there. Each was friendly and congenial and anxious for he other to get a good impres sion of him. At the reception given for the delegates every one met on equal grounds, regardless of color, and spent the evening making new friends and renewing ©Id ties. Better spirit of co-operation ;ould not have been found else where, and when one hears of such he is bound to pause and admire it. THEBAUD JEFFERS. BROOKLYN CHURCH NOTES. Mrs. F. J. McGill.
