It has stressed Christian living, Christian doing, and Christian understandingg through these three the growth of Christian character has been realized. The Life Service League has stressed Christian growth. Christian growth can best be fostered by the individual doing some definite Chris- tian work. This has always been one of the highest aims of the Life Ser- vice League. This year every member has been actively engaged in some type of work. This has strengthened the League, and each member has felt the great need of the inspirational meetings held every three weeks. The first Life Service League meeting was held at the home of Miss Hile, the sponsor. The president, Harold Eisele, had charge of the meet- ing. The value and place of the Life Service League in Grand Island Col- lege was stressed. Miss Hile impressed upon the mind of every member that Christian doing and living was the highest goal. The installation service was held at the home of Rev. and Mrs. A. C. Hull. The successive meetings have all been held in the play room of the home of Pres. and Mrs. Wells. With Esther Andersen as chairman of the program committee the League has enjoyed exceptionally fine meetings. Several visitors from the various churches of the city have spoken to the League. Among those were Pres. and Mrs. Wells, Rev. and Mrs. A. C. Hull, Mr. Howell and Rev. Ford Ellis of the Christian church. An appreciation for the hearty cooperation of Pres. and Mrs. Wells in giving us their play room is extended by the League. l -ee fir 53 T15 ,Ing Y -1 Ay 121.1 -1,-.

A. this year has been per- haps, the inspirational talks on various books of the Bible which have been given at one meeting each month by President Wells. He has unusual ability to find new and more vital interpretations of some of the books which are at times puzzling as to their real spiritual significance. Lloyd Richards, president, and Robert McWilliams, in charge of the program committee, began the year systematically by mapping out the whole program for the first semester. This program was carried out al- most entirely by the Y, In addition to the Bible talks, Ralph Tilley gave a report of the Estes conference which he attended last summer, Coach Uhls spoke on Sports- manship, Eldon Smith reviewed Dr. Crane's Why I Am a Christian, Paul Newell gave a talk on philosophy, the Rev.
