Organizations Literary Society HE organizations of Columbia College include other than the Orchestra and the College Prayer League, the Chrestomathean Literary Society. The Society was formed this year with Edna McAlexander as president; Alice Howard, Secretary, and Mamie Rogers, treasurer. The officers also compose the program committee. The meaning of Crestomathean TiLearning useful thingsfl has been constantly in mind in the preparation of programs which have been composed of music, readings, stunts and debate. The de- bates have ranged from such questions as lTResolvedz: That it takes more en- ergy to eat a keg of nails than it does to haul a load of postholes in a wheelbar- row half a mileii to gResolved: That the United States should intervene in Mexico? Other than the program the societyhas published a Literary paper ilThe Chrest01nathean,, which is on file in the library. A. H. College Prayer League ROM a spiritual standpoint Columbia has made much advancement during this year. In no year in the history of the college, before this one, has there been so generously attended college prayer-nieetings, nor those in which the students took an active interest. The prayer-meeting was organized early in the year. Its members took an active part in the three evangelistm campaigns Of the church, and the stu- dents were a power in every church interest. Much personal work was done and conversions were undoubtedly brought about through the influence of the students. Several students who were nom- inally Christians before, were converted or revived in their Christian experience and will return to their homes to be a power in their communities. Twelve students pledged themselves to a life of special Christian service to go anywhere in the world that this special service may call them. At least three young men are preparing for the ministry. To no individual alone is clue the success of the years work, but to the chosen leader, Martin Radcliffe, is prob ably due more credit than to any other. W. C. H. Twenly-five

Literary My First Dollar OMING in from play one evening, I was as usual, excited, and bent on hav- ing fun. I ran in yelling, grabbed the cats tailehad her howling, teased my mother nearly to distraction and skipped from one room to another shoutng at the top of my voice. I was laughing and pulling daddyls whlskers, when grandpa came in. llCome on Grappyil I called, lland le tls have a hobby horse ride? IlHavenlt you had about enough play for one day, Mary Jane? he asked. llBy the noises I have heard all evening Iwould imagine you had had plentyfl II was just foolingfi I pouted, feeling as if Pd lost my best friend when granpa went back on me. And right there is where the trouble beganeI felt sorry for myself. Two big tears were beginning to roll down my cheeks when grandpa said-lTll tell you Mary Jane, do you want to earn some moneyW The atmosphere changed at once, and llUm-huhf, forced its way out of my stubborn lips. llAll right, climb up in that chair and sit perfectly still for ten minutes. Neither say a word nor move the 1east bit, and PH give you a bright new dollar? . My heart kept falling as he contin ued, but at the words llBright new dol- larll I concluded Ild make a hard run for that amount, for child-like, a dollar was an almost unbelievable amount in my eyes. I crawled up in the chair and sat down. Grandpa took his watch and hid his face in the evening paper, and mother silently continued knitting. About five. minutes passed and again the old feeling of being sorry for my self forced its way into my mind. Silently tears began to roll down my cheeks, but neither speak or move would I, had the house fallen in, so determined was I to earn that dollar, and llShow lemf, as I said afterward. Only once did I come near losing my self-control and the dollar too, and that was when I stuck my tongue out at my brother who was fairly shaking with laughter. llJust one minute more? said grandpa. The wait was hurting him more than it was me, for to see me cry nearly killed him. At lastellAll right baby, get downeyou-gd but that was all I heard for I was sobbing and almost drowning mamma in tears, so sorry had I felt for my- self, because I had had such a hard task to do. Still wrapped in tissue paper and safely hidden away among my choicest possessions is the first dollar I ever earned. Many were the times I saw pretty things in the store which took my childish fancy, and thought triumphantly of how easily they might become my own. But try as I would I could never quite get the consent of my mind to part with that precious dollar. Mamie Rogers Twenty-six
