A. 17.211. 0.A. The Y. M. C. A. has been handicapped in its work this fall by the fact that the office of General Secretary, which was vacated by Mr. Wm. H. Cain, remains unfilled. The Advisory Committee are anxious to get a man for this position. They feel assured that they will be able to supply one soon. The various committees have been organized and the men are showing a determined spirit to carry out their work successfully. A contract has been given to the Orem Transfer Company for handling the students baggage this year. The patronage of all the students is earnestly solicited since this is one of the Associationls means of financial support. At a meeting of the Cabinet, Friday, Oct. 7, it was voted to conduct a book exchange on a strictly business basis for the benefit of stu- dents. The New Hand Book which was edited by Mr. T. G. Parker, is now in the hands of the Association and is being distributed to the members. Enough advertising was collected from the business and professional men of the city to make possible its publication. The men should show their appreciation of this by patronizing the advertisers. Four Bible study classes have been organized as follows: Baptist tMixedi ................ Prof. Bruce Presbyterian tMixedi ............. Mr. Buck Centenary M. E. tBoysi ........ Prof. Baxter Christian tMixedy ................. Mr. Dick Young men who have not already enrolled in one of these classes should do so at once. If you desire any information about them see Mr. J. M. Eddy. Professor Baxter addressed the first meeting of the Association Tuesday, Oct. 4. His sub- ject was ttThe Higher Criticism?
