Student Pastors ' Fellowship The Pastors ' Fellowship, an- other branch of the Christian Service Association, is an organ- ization whose membership in- cludes those students who are called of the Lord to the ministry of the gospel. Members of the Fellowship encourage one another in Chris- tian life and ser -ice. Young men find profit in discussion of the methods and problems of the ministry, and in opportunity for giving and hearing gospel mes- sages. Through active service in schools, churches, and mountain communities, the men of this group are equipping themselves, with God ' s help, for a full life of service. Seated — L. Pifer, Secretary; C.

Foreign Missions Fellowship The Foreign Missions Fellow- ship is a branch of the Christian Service Association consisting of young men and women who in- tend to serve the Lord in foreign fields as God leads the way. Also included are students with an in- terest and love for foreign mis- sions, and missionaries. Meetings may consist of a round table discussion on some missionary topic, or of a number of book reports on missionaries ' lives, showing how God can work, and how He does work in their lives. Sometimes there is a meeting given over to introduc- ing the needs and difficulties of missionaries or stating require- ments of missionaries to various mission boards. Those who have attended these meetings can truthfully say that they have received much blessing and that hearts have been touched as God shows the need for missionaries to go into all the world and preach the Gospel.

Lay Ambassadors Not everyone is called to be a pastor or a missionary but every- one does have the privilege of be- ing a witness for Him. The Lay Ambassadors, one of the groups of the Christian Service Associ- ation, is an organization with a two-fold purpose ; first, bringing to the Throne of Grace those who are out serving our Lord and Saviour ; and second, giving prof- itable opportunity to all who de- sire to be ambassadors for Christ right where they are. Meetings are held every other Wednesday of each month, alternating with the C. S. A. prayer meeting. Child Evangelism Fellowship Suffer the little children to come unto me. . . . Believing that the Master would have us begin with the children, the Child Evangelism Fellowship has been organized. The basic purpose of this organization is to unite those interested in chil- dren ' s work and to open up op- portunities for experience among the children of this section. Find- ing the children in schools, in homes, and on the street, various members of the group teach them, through object lessons, choruses, and stories, the mes- sage of the Gospel and the will of the Lord for their lives. The children are eager to hear and to learn, and much good has been accomplished in their lives. Front row — A. Tucker, L. Howland, R. Kuhn, C. Brogan, President ; H. Geiger, M. Rogers, D. Borror.

Forensic Union College life is a blend of for- mal and informal gatherings all combining to make a well- rounded college curriculum. The Forensic Union is one of those organizations which educates a student in the methods and pro- cedures of a formal meeting. The Union meets every other Tuesday of each month. The meetings are started with devo- tions, followed by a minute of silent prayer for men in service. Then follow special music, ex- temporaneous and impromptu speeches, book reports and po- ems, all centering on the chosen theme of the evening. Parlia- mentary drill and the critique complete the program. In clos- ing, the roll is called, then busi- ness is brought before the Union. A motion to adjourn brings to an end a pleasant evening. Spanish Club The Spanish Club has a four- fold purpose. C)ne of the aims of the members is to acquire the ability to understand Spanish better, and to be able to speak the language more fluently. Then, the club upholds in prayer those missionaries and Christian work- ers who are serving the Lord in Spanish-speaking countries. And as they pray for the workers, club members become better ac- quainted with work in these countries. At each meeting a dif- ferent country is discussed ; and a talk, given by one of the mem- bers, acquaints the group with facts concerning that country. Meetings of the Spanish Club are held on the second and fourth Mondays of each month. Front row — H. Geiger, M. Miller, President ; Mrs. Pettit, A. Henderson, J. Brubaker. Back row — A. Garber, D.
