Young Womenis Prayer Meetings QXIITH all the busy routine of the daily school life, it might seem that prayer life would easily be neglected. Notwith-- standing the many school obligations, the girls find time to meet regularly at seven o'clock every Monday and Friday evening for an hour of prayer. The meetings were started this year the first of October and have been well attended throughout the year. They are con- ducted under the leadership of Sophie Buttelman, Mrs. Martin Radcliff and Mrs. VVilliam Burgoyne who are assisted at various times by the girls. In this way each girl is given an opportunity for experience in the leadership of devotional services. These prayer meetings have proved most helpful to all the girls taking part and Columbia's devoted young women look for- ward to lives of greater usefulness in the Master's service. Young lVlen,s Prayer Meetings THREE years ago Martin Radcliff, a student of Columbia, started a pray ei meeting for the young men of the college It was held in the dome room two evenings a week. Mr. Radcliff led the meetings the next year also. Last year Williaiii Burgoyne was the leader, and he was elected again this Year. These prayer meetings have been very- spiritual. Those who started them have seen them grow in attendance, and have seen young men learn to pray there. They have been of inestimable value to every one who has participated in them. We feel that God has put his mark of approval on this institution by its con- tinuance and growth, and that it will continue to grow in future years in power and spirituality as well as in attendance.

Revival Rev. E. J. Harper, pastor of the Southern Methodist church at Corvallis, held the col- lege evangelistic ser- vices this year. Rev. Harper is a very strong preacher, and his mes 'sages were inspiring. Tvvo hours a day for an entire Week, one in the morning and one in the evening, were set aside for special services. The meetings Were vvell at- tended. Mr. Harper's mes sage was to the stu- dents He came at their request and he reached them. There were a number of conversions and all who attended , the services were lifted REY. E, J, HARPER to a higher spiritual plane. Mr. Harper had personal talks with many of the young people, giving them advice, becoming acquainted with them and giving them an opportunity to knovv him intimately. He had become acquainted with many of the students last year, when he Was here to preach the baccalaureate sermon in the spring and he was chosen because of the impression he made upon them. Mr.,Harper is chairman of the board of trust of Co-- lumbia, and has the interests of the school at heart. h The school prayer meetings undoubtedly helped a great deal in bringing the revival spirit to Columbia even before the special services started. The invaluable assistance given by Rev. M. F. Hill, pastor of the Milton Methodist church, also counted for much .in making the .meeting a. success, as did the constant Work of our president, Rev.,H. S. Shangle. . , The meeting made ,us realize anevvithe fact that Columbia is a Christian college. , . Page Sixty

Page Sixty-Two THE WEST Oh, I love the East, with its crowded towns, And its narrow, winding streets, Where each has a few of thenfriencls who are true And knows everyone whom he greets. Oh, I love the North, with its wind and snow, And its winters so long and cold, Where the people are few, and the friends are new And the towns are not very old. Oh. I love the South, with its stately ways, And its mansions so large and White, Where old Mzunmy sings to the 'babe who sleeps, And the banjo plunks at night. But give me the West, the happy West, With its valleys of rich black loam. Where though towns are few, and friends are new You will always feel at home. . M. A. Bishop ODE TO A FLY E Every creature has his job,, His duty to perform, ' .. The cats ure here to kill the mice, Which hang around the barn, The dogs are here to bark and bite. The bees are here to work, But :ill the lowly fly can do' Is buzz about and shirk. YV. S. '25 ODE TO A POET The preacher has his place to fill, The souls of men to saveg The doctor rushes to and fro, To save us from the graveg The lawyer works with all his might. To keep us from the jail, But why some poets e'er were born. 'Tis hard for me to tell, Ibs
