KRIEG '18 In these days of unprecedented calls for service, highminded service-men are beginning to appreciate more and more the sincerity of those professing to be members of the Young Men's Christian Association. This Association has an international organization effectively wielding the sword of the spirit of the Master, that spirit by which men are made masters of themselves, and are thus kept fit to become serving masters of others. The Red Triangle has become known the world over as an angel of mercy. It has carried bread to the starving bodies of men in European prison campsg it has fanned a feebly flickering flame of hope within a war-depressed spirit into a brightly burning fire nourished by kindness, sympathy and love. While the heart of the World was bleeding, writhing in agony and pain, Asso- ciation menwere heeding their duty, heeding a brother's claim. America entered the war, not when her armies were sent, armies that must kill in order that others might live, but America entered the war when her army of Association men came to the starving prisoners, starving in body and soul, when these menq came, laden with the gifts of love, to nurse the prisoners back to life and hope. T Association men have learned that true giving is all gain not lossg that a humble heart is the highest monument, piercing the skies. They have always been foremost in thinking World thoughts and by the enlightening spirit of the

Lien, VVa-ppler, Stille, Johnson, Campbell E112 iillawnrth 9111212111 It is peculiarly fitting that a college should have a publication not only for the publication of college news but as a means of expression of the growing life and ideals of the students. Ellsworth College is well represented by the Ells- worth Student a bi-weekly publication. The Student is published inde- pendently of the college administration by a staff elected by the student body, making it truly and in every sense of the word a student paper. During this year under the able editorship of Mr. A. K. Lien the Student has made great progress. One of the features appearing in many issues of the Student has been Mr. Lien's cartoons which are far above anything of which most college papers can boast. During this year a large number of Students have been mailed free of charge to men in the army and navy, the contribution of patriotic members of the student body who subscribed the necessary money.

Within the school the Association stands for thorough democracy and men at every stage in their school course are encouraged to bd- come members. Denominational discrimination is unknown. To become mutually helpful, reciprocal in service, and benign in attitude is the aim of the true mem- ber. Although the work of the Association has been seriously hampered because of men enlisting from the ranks of the cabinet, with ardent patience, persever- ance, and prayer the agency of moral uplift has not been allowed to suffer fatally. The Association has denied itself some talent which money could have brought had it not been offered for the relief of suffering. However much the local work may have succeeded or failed, we rest assured that with members truly dedicated to service the years will see prosperity. Devotion to the cause will find the strength, the way, the means to accomplish. Through prayer men learn to take hold of the hand of God, which hand alone can guide them safely through the moments of highest Joy and deepest grief, when life is on the pinnacle of fame or on the verge of despair. Prayer enables them to increase their love for the truly great things in life, the beau- tiful, the good and the true. Much thought is given to the practicability of the principles of Jesus. Men resolve to apply them to modern problems and the missionary effort is conscious of the fact that the vision of the Kingdom can ,never be realized unless more men and women will march forth as true missionaries of the cross-the conquering cross. Jesus conquered the world by the cross and by the cross alone can men be lifted up, can hearts be lifted up. When such a flood of fellow-feeling flows from soul to soul in every land, the world will soon achieve its goal and love will rule. Y. DI. C. A. CABINET.
