BIBLE STUDY DEPARTMENT . ; ! (Continued from first page) tne term tittv or the strongest men in the University to lead Bible clas ses next vear, and we are sroiug- to make every effort to enroll five-hun dred in Bible study. W. M. Gaddy, Chairmen Bible Study Department The Ministerial Band Last spring- there was organized by the ministireal students of the University, "The Ministerial Band The purpose of this band are: 1 To promote a real feeling- of broth erhood among- the students who are looking- to the Ministry as lite work. 2. Actively to present the claims of the Christian Minis try to the more serious minded of our fellow students. 3. To pledge each member of the Band to do some definite Christian work each week. " The Baud so far has proved a de cided success. Thirteen men are now on the roll and four more will be initiated at an early date. From this number ten are actively engaged in rural Sunday School work. Pour arelooking forward to spending their lives in the foreign field.. l he iviinisteriai jtsand here was the first in any college of the South. It has been, however, only the be- innuintr of a movement, which has already entered colleges and univer si ties in every section of the South L- N. Tavlor, Leader. An Appreciative Tribute Being asked for a statement of my views concerning the work of the work of the Y. M. C. A. at the University, I have recided. to make my reply consist of a brief extract from a letter which I recently wrote I believe this will be a fairer means of showing my unbiased opinion as already expressed to others, than for me to write a "made-to-order" tribute for publication in this issue. The letter is in response to one from a friend having work similar to my own at another Southern Uni versity. In response to the question "Do you have a dormitory or Parish House for the Church Boys", the letter says; "I have no dormitory and do not intend to have any, nor anything else which will isolate or segregate our bovs from the others. If I am able, by Gods help, to create a strong Christian manliness among my boys I want it to count for all its worth in every department and with every companionship of their University life. The Y. M. C. A. building is well equiped and splen didly managed along broad lines and I purpose to keep in full sym pahty and active touch with its good work. They have given me a class in the study of the Mission Fields which has grown from fifteen to more than fifty members and I have the opportunity of speaking to their Bible Classes and of doing other work. 'l nere is here a Dana : or young men who purpose to study for the Ministry and who as indivi duals bring a claim of the Ministry before other students. I hope to see this same work established in all our Universities and made into general organization. Every Fra ternity ;has a Bible class, lead by tween three and four hundred stu dents engaged; in Bible and Mission study. Students go out by twos and teach Sunday School in all the surroundiug country churches. All this is under the direction of the Y. M. C. A. I know of no better work done anywhere else by the Y. M. C. A., or indeed by anyother organiza tion, than is done; here uuder the leadership of their most efficient Secretary", R. W. Hogue, Rector Chapel of the Cross. Publications of the Association The main purpose of the Asso ciation is, of course, a , strictly re ligious one. This idea we allprirnari ly associate with the Association. To outsiders this 5s all there is to it. But those who are familiar with the machinery of the Association kuow that it does more. Of this work, secondary to that of the organization, possibly the most important is its publishing. The University haudbook, directory and calendar are published by the Y. M. C. A, the first two being presented, the last one sold, usually at a loss, to the studeut body The publications this year have been pronouncec by faculty and stu dents a s g ood. The different writeups which have stood for years i f lit' i in the nana dook, were aone over entirely. This is a booklet of indis pensable information, intended to aid freshmen in getting- started risrht. It has earned the name of the "Freshman's Bible." The directory offers from its na ture no chance for improvement. It is simply a roll of the college, giv ing in convenient and permanent form the name, class, and college address of each student. It has been allowed to remain as previous ones. A. conscientious effort was made to get out in the calendar a publica tion, comprehensive, representative, attractive, and one which would give value received. We think, in his at least, we succeeded, tho the books of the Association register us on the calendar aeai on tne aeDit side. For some causes undefined he sale of the calendar was fright ully poor, So very poor were they hat out of the eight hundred copies ordered 120 were left on the hands of the Association, whereas a large number of those sold wrere disposed of at cost. This being the third repetition , of loss on calendars, this committee has about decideb to dis pense with this publication. It re grets the necessity of doing this as t is a pretty custom and one of very general interest, but the Association is not financially able to stand the oss. Until more financial assist ance is obtained from outside, or un til the students appreciate the cal- enbars enough to take them off of its hands, the Association will be forced to limit its charities to the handbook and directory. 5 The work of the publication com mittee for this scholastic year has been accomplished. Receipts have been turned in by the publishers, and the Association still stands on the debit side. It has to its credit, however, the fact that its publica tions have been generally accepted a as the dest vet., which more than balance the account. J. T. Johnston, Three Requirements For All Students You need reliable, original and complete material for written or spoken work. You also need books and magazines.
