A CALL TO PRAYER o Much of the world is in chaos. Multitudes are seeking some one to lead them out of the wilderness. Efforts, political, diplomatic, economic, seem to lead nowhere. Is there a way? Yes, try God’s way. Obedience to the command ‘‘Pray ye the Lord of the harvest,” has brought forth men and women of ability to meet the needs of the hour. Prayer has unlocked treasure vaults in which men kept their gold. Now when souls of men are starving for the Bread of Life, and bodies of children are shriveling for lack of physical nourishment, will not our Father who is “not willing that any should perish,’’ bring forth the men and women and the means to support them if we obey the command to ‘pray and not to faint?” Come, let us put him to the test. The Day of United Prayer for Missions will be held at the Christian Church in this city on Friday March 7. Plan to give this one day wholly to God.

SUNDAY SCHOOL MEETING The Second Putnam County Young Peoples Sunday School Conference will be held February 23 and 24 at the High School building in Green-

In one of his characteristic talks, Vice-president H. B. Longden, spoke to the student body at chapel this morning on “Working Your Y\ay Through College.” He stressed the worth of a student having to earn all or a part of his college expenses and said that today it was not nearly as [easy to accomplish this task as it was in by-gone days. He contrasted the college expenses of today with those 50 years ago when students could go through both semesters with less than $175.00. Board was about two or three dollars a week while roomers were taken in for around 50 cents. Today board costs all the way from $5 up and rooms range from $2 anywhere to $5 or more in some instances. The speaker emphasized that the student who either works because he likes to or has to in order to attend college should not attempt to take the full requirement in hours per semester. The fact that they must spend from 4 to 6 hours each day gaining money militates against them acquiring well their academic work, although students have been known to go through DePauw winning scholastic honors who worked many hours

each day.

Two other facts were brought out in the talk. They were that the student who works tends to deprive himself from necessary sleep and many have a leaning toward getting old prematurely. The youthful spirit of the college days should characterize each student and it is harmful for some to appear old too soon, said Dr.

Longden.

In closing the speaker said that he hoped never to see the day when the student could not make his way thru college as that day would keep many of the brighter lads from getting the ' foundation for their later work in life and any such students are today bringing honor to their alma mater. 1 The membership of the Girl’s Glee i Qlub, as announced today by Miss i Anna May Payne, director, is: Mar-1 jorie Allen, Lucy Beddoe, Mary Bot- | ties; Helen Boone, Marian Brevier, !
