THE FillLATIiEA CLASS AFiD ITS VOCKl denominational- and .emphasizes tilings more important than creeds The nineteenth century has gone dowi in history as the " Wonan's Century' and it may appropriately be so called for women now oc cupies a very different jplace from that which she held a hundred years igo. Then for the -first , time women met together and organized themselves for definate social and religious work. Early in the century Various Women's Missionary So cieties, agencies by which untpld good has been accomplished, were organized; the latter part of the century gaye birth to the- great Philathea movement, a suitable climax to the progress of those hun dred years. ' A few years after Father Hudson began his work among the Baracas, several young women of Syracuse realized that there was a definate need for a special work among the young women of their church. As a result they organized, in 1898, i class which they called "Philathea. This name is derived from the GreeL and means "Lovers of Vie truth." It and our motto "we do things," based on Paul's words of faith, "I can do all things through Christ -who strengthenest me," set a lofty ideal toward which all Philatheas with the true class spirit ever strivj. Dur ing the sixteen years of its existence the movement has spread with marvelous rapidity until now the four thousand chartered Philathea classes are scattered over a territory greater than the United States. In the last few years the church .activities have been greatly broad ened until now the various organ izations of the - church, each with its particular mission, hold a place scarcely second to the preaching service itself. So the Sunday Scnool is a vital part of the church, so the organized class is a vital part of the Sunday School. It is not an arganiza tion alienated from the Sunday b;;Jiooi at ail, as has been supposed bv some, ic is one o and doctrines. Girls of any denomi nation" or thoe. belonging io no church at all are welcomed into our classes. Philathea classes arefound in alLof the protestant: denominat ions. (5) The name Philathea with its thousands of members serves as a stimulus to girls to do their best. They are proud of the class and feel drawn to the sister classes of the great movement by a common tie in a common cause. Thus our vision, including the entire nation, is much broader than that of a local class. --. . .. The Philatheas are destined to fill an important place in the christian izing of the world.3Philathea classes are now educating poor girls, reliev ing distress among the sick and un fortunate, clothing orphans and do ing scores' of other things that are worth while. Are we proud of our national organization? Are we proud of the fact that our old North State stands first among the states of the union in Baraca and Philathea work? If so, let us strive to swell the ranks by doing our best for our own class and by organizing new classes. If we are true Philatheas and love the truth we will not rest contented un til we seek and find that truth- and then give it to others. In our work we are ever encouraged by the as surance Christ gives us in these lines; incorporated in our benedict ion: "Ilye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples in deed, and ye shall know the truth and the truch shall make you free."

C3 ro: parts of the Sunday School and has been called ''the spoint of contact be- t een the masses rand the church." A i so many hold the opinion that the organized class is "the biggest ft der of the church today." The P ilathea class does not try to usurp t' r place ofany other class in the Sunday School. It is intended for girls jtoo old for intermediate work and too young for advanced Bible classes. The Philathea work is especially adapted to girls from six teen years old on and the work is made as interesting as possible. Opening exercisis are sometimes held in our classes and the interest is increased by arranging for special feaeures as often as possible.. Differ ent girls lead the devotional exer cises. A model class teacher always arouses interest-in the lesson and presents the truth so forcibly that the girls always feel better for hav ing attended. Our national platform 'Young women at work for young women, all standing by the Bible and the Bible School, states the relationship between the class and the individual. The supreme purpose of the work is to bring young women into the christian life and train them in christian service and leadership The development of the individual is accomplished by giving each girl something to do. The many advant ages open to Phiiathea girls may be briefly summed up as; follows: (1) It is the most effective way for a girl to help her Sunday School, for in the Philathea class she is put to work. (2) Bible study, with its numerous benefits, is of first import ance. Practically ail of the girls in our class are studying the Bible daily in groups of six.
