It's membership is composed of young peopleivvho have given them- slves for life service in the ministry, missionary field or other lines of definite Christan work. The Life Service Band meets regularly on the first and third Sundays of each month. These meetings have been a spiritual help to every member. Outside speakers have made addresses at various times. Reverend Judd, the pastor of the Baptist church Who is a returned missionary, gave some inspirational talks dur- ing the year. Reverend Hill is deeply interested in the organiza tion and has always been on hand to assist. A band of trained Christian leaders such as this can accomplish much in establishing the Kingdom of Godon earth. Page Fifty-Eight

Howard, form- er member of the college faculty, told of the growth and influ- ence of our own school since its beginning. President Shangle gave an address on the advantages of the college man, and the part the Christian college plaved in education. Professor Sevv talked on the importance of the pioneers in education and the high calling of the teacher. Dean Pontius led one of the best chapel services of thetyear on Armistice Day.
