Ministerial Association SEPTEMBER 83rd On the night of September 23 minis- terial students of veteran and norice or- ders could be seen filing up the stairs of the Christian Education Building to meet in conclave as the Ministerial Association. It was the initial meeting of the year and no doubt the most eager there were those who had recently arrived on the campus and were anxious to be received into the Association thereby identifying themselves aa enrolled ministerial students. It is hard to decide why the opening night seems bestf possibly because so much is new — new officers, new members, and a new year. Our very deliberate and resolute Presi- dent showed his competence with his first words, The meeting wUl please come to order. We gleaned from that masterfully presidential eye and commanding tone that he meant this year to be the best in the history of the Association. The new mem- bers were introduced to the Association, and each gave a brief statement of his pur- pose in entering the ministry, after which they were received into the Association as regular members. It is always interesting to know why other people do things, and it is especially interesting to hear minis- terial students relate their calls to the ministry. Samples : Lindley, our young Quaker prea cher, felt sure that the Spirit had moved him to preach. Sears said be saw a great task ahead in social reform and felt that he could best serve humanity by giving his life to this work. The old members were becoming dis- gracefully fidgety from a desire to emit queer nothings, so our indulgent President allowed each member to render such. Then the visitors were dutifully introduced, and MmiffTEBiAL Association finally, our new professors in the Religion Department, Professors French and Bow- den, who won their way into our hearts at the first meeting. By their continual presence at our meetings and their willing assistance whenever called upon, they have shown that they were sincere in saying, We want to help. That first meeting was a grand success, but it was only a foretaste of what all meetings would be, for this has in reality been a red-letter year. A great deal of credit for the success of the year goes to our sincere President, but the greater credit goes to the tolerant and considerate cooperation of the members. Denomina- tional barriers and doctrinal differences have been forgotten as we have found in the Association a fellowship of seekers after truth, who are eager to share in the tasks that lie ahead. T.
