Some teach classes, some lead singing, others offer their services by reading poems or the Scripture — or even by just carrying the organ and song books to the meeting houses. They give their services freely, feeling it a privilege to work for the Lord Jesus in furthering His Kingdom. The work gives the young people training in Christian work and strengthens their own Christian lives. Rare fellowship is enjoyed by this group among themselves and the members of the many rural Sunday Schools. [27]

SPIRITUAL EMPHASIS WEEK The week of Spiritual Emphasis has been, for the past several years, one of the important weeks of the school year. This week usually comes early in the spring and always very enlightening speakers have held the meet- ings. This year ' s week of spiritual meetings began on March 8 and con- tinued through March 13. Life is an adventure and we are all adventurers, was one of the opening remarks made by Reverend Robert M. Skinner, of Pottsville, Pennsylvania, who was the guest speaker at the College for the Spiritual Emphasis Week of 1942. The first two meetings of the week were held by Reverend Hutcheson of the Pikeville Presbyterian Church in the absence of the speaker. Mr. Skinner opened the Monday evening meeting in Wickham Chapel and continued during the week, speaking also at the morning chapel services. The evening sermons, which were highly interesting as well as beneficial, took the audiences on adventures in Christian living, thinking, faith, prayer and love. Members of both faculty and student body took part in the services — all in spirit, many verbally. The Y.W.C.A. and Y.M.C.A. helped with scrip- ture and prayer, and special music was furnished nightly by some members of the student body. There were periods in the morning set aside for private conferences with Mr. Skinner, and many students took the opportunity to meet and talk with him. All of those who came in contact with Reverend Skinner and with Spiritual Emphasis Week experienced a spiritual uplift that should remain with them far into the future. 26]

' jit - j « v Y. W. C. A. This year has seen considerable growth in the spirit and membership of the Young Women ' s Christian Association. Through the media of discus- sion meetings, outside speakers and the strong bonds of friendship the Y. W. C. A. has found a place in the hearts of all and has drawn its mem- bers closer to Christianity. The best wishes of the group go to their beloved friend and advisor, Miss Elizabeth North, and to the future Y. W. ' s of Pikeville College. Mary Burchell Betty Huntsberry. Mildred McKee . . .
