Y. M. C. A. The Y. M. C. A. situation in Kalamazoo College is rather unique. For a number of years past, due to so many other religious organizations and to a thriv- ing in the city. our organization has not been the living, vital force it should be. .-Xt the beginning of this school year under the able leadership of Tom Yroeg. the put on a big reception to the incoming students. This was a decided success. lt was deemed advisable by the active members of the YU under the existing conditions, to throw all energy into the Gospel team work. Consequently with the aid of Professor Severn and Dr. llachelor, the president of the Y. H. C. A., organized two Gospel teams of live men each. These teams have gone out to the small churches of the state and held religious services. Uur plan was three-fold: first, to instill new life and inspiration into the hearts and minds of the Christian people in the towns: second. to tell them of a Christian college where they might send their sons and daughters with every assurance of their receiving the best re- ligious training possibleg third, to give practice and experience to the college men in public speaking. Now what of the future? lYill it be Gospel team work next year? Gr shall we strive for a revival of weekly meetings. :Xt present we have thrown our forces with those of the Y. XV. C. .X, in order to make the College prayer meeting a suc- cess. l.et us all get together for a bigger. better, more enduring Y. M. C. A. in 1923. Let us all hope and pray for a greater spirit of religious enthusiasm among the men of old liazoo.
