Hinkle r E3IOR years Wesleyan has had among her student body some students iSff -l who were volunteers for Foreign Missionary work. In 1906 these students r ?! met and organized the Student Volunteer Band with Perry Robinson ' ' ' as Leader. When these Volunteers had gone from the school the regular weekly meetings were abandoned for a time. On February 3, 1913 the band was organized with a good membership of new students. Since then the Band has held it ' s regular meetings. The meetings of this year have been well attended and a true Missionary spirit manifested. The needs of the various Mission fields have been studied and prayer offered by the members of the Band, for all missionary work. Some are getting larger visions of life and are realizing the great need of Christianity among the millions of human souls who have never heard of Jesus. For the past two years the Wesleyan Band has been well rerpesented at the State Convention of the Student Volunteer Movement of this state. The von- vention for 1917 will be held at Wesleyan. This is a comparatively new movement among the College students of West Virginia but it promises to accomplish great good. Wesleyan expects to do her part in this great work. Several new members have been added to the Band this year, and a greater zeal for missions is being shown. Arrangements are now being made to give some illustrated lectures during the Spring Term. We anticipate great things for the Volunteer Band of Wesleyan, and in the course of a few years expect her to be represented on every important Mission field one hundred forty-one JMiL r vfW %
