YOUNG MEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION. l Every boy who stays in the State, Normal School dormitory belongs to the Y. M. C. A. This is as itshould be. Important as is a. literary education, that for which the Y. M. C. A. stands is as important as any education could possibly be. VV. G. Acree, who was our representative at t-he Asheville Conference last summer, has given us some pleasant and profitable accounts of his trip to that meeting in the beautiful mountain country of North Carolina. We contribute to the support of the Association of which we are a part. Our meetings are held in the Library at twilight on Sunday evenings. Wfe shall carry with us from school beautiful mental pictures of these Sunday afternoons. The campus, the buildings, the friendly faces, the pleasant room, -these will ever be fresh in our minds. Daily, just at dusk, the boys meet in the hall for a twilight prayer-service. These services are interesting, instructive, and well attended. On Sunday nights there are Bible-study classes. These,'l at present, are conducted by E. P. Clark and OL C. Baskin, who faithfully discharge their duties. The Association has a small but well selectedand helpful library. At the prayer-meetings, the Bible-study meetings, and the Y. M. C. A., all the boys are free to speak, hence we get much valuable information from one another, as well as learn how to express our own thoughts properly. Some of the teachers of the Normal School and of the University have given us many interesting and helpful talks. It is in the Y. M. C. A. meetings that we get nearest one another's hearts, and it is in connection with these meetings that we shall have our pleasantest memories. The times when we spoke of mother, home, duty, love, honor, and heaven, when we thought of being and doing all that we could for humanity and Christ,-these are the times when we shall remember with the .greatest pleasure. Then it was that we felt that all men are brothers, forgot our nar- row, selfish aims, and lived on lovelier, happier, better, broader planes. We .pray that these memories may linger with and profit us until we shall, at last, clasp the hands of those with whom we have associated and with whom we have parted, and shall be forever reunited in a Christian Asso- ciation that will forever endure.
