' Mother ' s Sunday has been celebrated in the Old Land for some time, but it was not until 190S that Annie Jarvis introduced the custom in the United States and Canada, which countries have celebrated the cus- tom for only two years. Many days. Thanksgiving, Christmas, etc., are celebrated throughout the year, but every day in the year is Mother ' s Dav, therefore it is rip ht that once a year we should celebrate Mother ' s Day. On this day let us do some distant act of kindness for out moth- er — write her a letter of praise and gratitude ; or if she is not living, do some kindness for one of her friends to commrmorate her memory. Let us remember that Christ set us the oxampl ' . When he wnsm a- ony on the cross, he provided for bi moth- er by asking one of his dis ipks to take her to his home. Many beau- tiful things come bv do r-us— aunts and uncles, cousins, brotht .s and sis- ters, but only one mother in all the world. The best monuiiient ' a child can raise to his mother ' s mrmory is that of a clean, pure life such as she would have had her child live. Sunday, May 19. Miss Aita Green spoke on Tennyson ' s well-known quotation — Self reverence, self knowledge, self control. These three alone lead life to sovereign power. Self reverence is often mistaken for false Dride. All people need a certain amount of self -reverence, but As is often the case, people think too much about themselves, rather than of themselves, thus mistakincr false pride for true pride. True pride will make each reverence herself too much to stoop to anvthing l- w, and

vox COLLEGII 25 throug h this reverence keep herself pure. We should examine ourselves, our capabilities, our talent, and then set about to develop our weak points. We will all be called upon to give an account of the use we have made of our talents, and when we know our- selves and have the right spirit, we will g-o ahead and do our very best. We all have some great failing, and when we have found it we must try to overcome it until we have gained the victory. Temper is one of the worst things we have to control. All need some spirit, but the true man is he that controls himself. Studv to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that necdeth not to be ashamed, rightly divining the word of truth. Sunday, May 26. Miss Lillian Brown addressed the meetinsr, taking as her topic, Christ ' s Teachings about Service. ' ' God has a definite plan for each one of us. He is our guide and we must follow Him. Paul is a splendid example of service. He gave up all and followed God, and who on earth was happier than Paul ? He could sing- in prison. We must place ourselves in perfect har- monv with God, and when duty comes to us, even though we dislike it. we can do it. God has never call- ed people to do that which is too hard for them, for he supplies the grace. God gave us our life. Are W6 ffoins ' - to put it to no use in His kingdom ? Through prayer we will know what God ' s purpose for each on? of us is. Sundav. Ju)ie 2. Mrs. Hare gave a beautiful address on the Two Ways. When college days are over and wo leave, there are two ways open to us. Which will we choose ? There is the broad way with all the sin and selfishness, and its end is death. There is the narrow way which leads one Home. Christ says in Matthew 7 : 14, Enter ye in at the straight gate, for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leadeth to destruc- tion, and many there be which go in thereat. But straight is the gate and narrow is the way which leadeth unto life, and few there be that llnd it. Did we ever think that our Heavenly Father was lonesome for some of his children ? Just as our earthly father loves us, so God loves us. He wants us for his service. To choose the narrow way means oUch joy and happiness. Helping others and doing good in God ' s beautiful world should come before the selfish pleasures and unsatisfying gaiety of the broad way. A life of consecra- ted service is the highest life one can live. After this the Welcome Home. Miss Rose Cullen, B.A., a iovm ' T teacher, and for five years becietaiy of the Y. W. C. A. in Paris, i ranee, gave the farewell address on Sunday afternoon, June 9th. A pleasing tc ' a- ture of the last afternoon tog-.ahfr as a Society was the music, hoai ' ty singing accompanied by the piario, violin and organ. ...Miss Calien took as her topic, The need of a spmi.ial life to be of real service. She irave instances whei ' e people gave laarh of their energy and time to heio tl eir fellow creatures, but when Ihev did not show them the beautiful life of Christ and His power to sweeten theirs, the work soon failed. M ss Cullcn also explained the work a- mong British and American stadeij s in Paris, and the efforts made to cre- ate a home life for ihem. Sh- is now Student Secretary for Canad ..
