Wesstll The Alumni Assoeiation ol' l'oi1eorclia 'l'heologieal Seminary of Springfield, Illinois was organized in lil!! at Ft. Wayne, indiana.. lts chief aim and pur- pose is to form a closer union and l'ellou'ship between all the graduates, to create and to i'os1 er a greater interest in our Alma Mater and to raise funds for certain purposes not provided for by the Synod. lt has steadily gained in membership, and soon hopes to have gathered into its fold eve1'y alumnus of our Practical Seminary. As time goes on this Association will certainly prove itself to be a wonderful aid to our institution. A few years ago our Alumni began to collect funds to erect a Memorial Hall or Gymnasium. At the present time the sums collected are not suifieient to carry out this plan, but as the sum is constantly increasing, the hopes for the future are very promising. ln order to show their appreciation to the Alumni, the students of the Seminary decided to help this Memorial Fund by also contributing to it. A plan was devised whereby the student pledges a certain amount, and then makes yearly payments on this -pledge until the amount has been paid in full. The plan has met with decided success and up to the present time 322,356.00 has been subscribed to this worthy cause. The students at the Seminary realize that it they can show the Alumni that they are heart and soul for their Alma. Mater, and can prove to them that they are a hundred per cent strong for the Memorial 'Building by raising as much money for the fund as possible, it will within the next few years make them dig deep into their pockets and raise the amount necessary to build a beautiful gym- nasiurn. Should, however, the Board, as is now planned, be successful in buying a block of land south of the college with the money donated for a Memorial Building, the donors would be the gainers in that the Synod then would be asked to appropriate a sufficient sum for a gymnasium. - X s,.a,s t,t.s.se ss- MN.

-'-x S n A V N .... X ...., X -wg F. C. D. Wyneizen Missionary Society. LTHOUGH the Vllyneken lXIissionary Society has only been in existence for tl11'ee years. it can report much progress. One of the distinctive marks of this soeietylis the great enthusiasm and earnestness with which it undertakes all.its work. During the past year, instructive as well as interesting papers dealing with various phases of missionary work were delivered by members of the society. Following are some of the essays rendered :I llIissionary VVork Among the Aborigines of Australia. Missionary Viiork in lnstitutioiisf' The Danish Free i'hurch. The Woi'k of Our Synod in india, and L'Mis- sionary Wor'k of Our Synod in South America. Besides these very interesting papers. in- structive lectures and advice were given concerning the missionary and his calling. house-to- house canvassing, the making of missionary calls, and following up the stranger. One of the features of the programs of the past year were the very interesting missionary experiences related by those who had already labored in the supply field. Prof. R. Neitzel. our faithful faculty adviser, was always on hand to help solve the difficulties in carrying on mission work. The society, however, has not only served its purpose along theoretical lines by imparting missionary knowledge and interest, but the practical end, too, has not been overlooked. At the present time, its members are regularly bringing the Gospel to the inmates of the Palmer Sanitarium, of the Founty Jail, and of the f'atherine Post Home. besides conducting a Sunday School and a preaching station. WO1'k was begun at the Palmer Sanitarium about three years ago by individual students. This is a privately owned tuberculosis hospital and is located in the southwestern part of Springfield. At present more than fifty patients are being served here, and in addition to reading sermons on Sunday afternoons, musical cntertaiinuents are arranged to entertain the patients. The County Jail is visited regularly ou Vlfednesday afternoons, where a short sermon is delivered to the prisoners. Wliile, of course, no great outward results eau be expected in an institution of this character, yet the missionaries report that some are very grateful for their services. t The Catherine Post Home is a finely appointed home for old ladies. located just outside of the beautiful Lincoln Park. Services with a musical program are held here about every two weeks. Here the preaching and music are well received, and it is a pleasure to partici- pate in the program. The latest missionary enterprise is a new Sunday School and preaching station. Acting upon the request of the Mission Board of the Central 'Illinois District, the missionary oppor- tunities in the neighborhood of Bunn Park were investigated. Although prospects were very favorable ahsuitable building could not be found. After much ditiiculty, a one-room house was rented in the adjourning neighborhood, where a Sunday School was opened on February 1, with an attendance of 24 children, after which a preaching service was held. The society is greatly 'indebted to its many friends, who have favored it with gifts and donations, by. means of which it is able to carry 011 its extensive mission work. One of the lf?'1g9St.dE3Y1?1JE10I1S was a. fund of ftaldo, sent by some unknown friends for the good work of i ie socie .y. 1 .llhe officer?-of tht societywaie. President, B.
