Soon tlie days of Theory will he over for at least two months, and indeed every meml)er of Miss Nichols ' large class will be glad. May each and every- one have the best of luck in the various forms of examinations. Y.W. C. A. T he last weck-meetinL ' ' of our Y. W. C .A. was taken l)y the Faculty with MiHH Wi ' ioht presiding. Miss Maxwell g;i o ns a very enjoyaljle talk, and the meetinii ' was much appreciated by all the girls. The Rev. Mr. Foster kindly spoke at one of our Thursday evening meetings. AVe thoroughly enjoyed his address and ti ' ust that he will be able to meet us again. We are very glad that Madge Robin- son and Miss Rose are going to be able to attend the Y.W.C ' .A. Summer Sc hool at Elgin House this spring, as represen- tatives of our Y.W.C.A. We are sure tiiey vill thoroughly enjoy themselves and sincerely trust that it will prove an inspii ' ation and a help to them and to us all through their reports. Suruh y, April 22nd, we were favored by having Mrs. Lyons, who spent two years in Indorc, India. In the after- noon Mrs. Lyons met the Y. W. 0. A. ( ;!l)in( t, and in her fascinating way told lis ((f some of the queer habits and cus- toms of these Indian people and how in need the ' are of our Ghristianitv. In fhe ' voiiing Mi ' s. Lyons spoke on The lOflnciitional work in India. For the past two yeai ' s her husband has been teaching in the I niversity of Indore, India, and. through him ajid personal work with the women and children she has learned the ever-growing demand for education and Christianity in India. Our girls who are to go as delegates to Elgin House were delighted on hear- ing through Miss Zeigler that Mrs. Ly- ons is to be one of the speakers at the Summer School this year. On Sunday evening, April 29th, the Rev. Peter Bryce spoke on his work in Earlscourt. He told of how he started ten years ago with one little church and of the wonderful changes which have been brought about in that time. Sunday, May 6th, we had the pleasure of hearing Mr. Ridout speak on Billy Sunday. He told of Mr. .Sunday ' s won- derful campaigns in the various cities of the United States and of the remarkable good which is being brought about by him. Brighten the Corner Where You Are ' ' and ' ' Sweeter as the Days Go By, ' ' two of Mr. Sunday ' s favorite hymns, were sung by some of the girls. Through Mr. Ridout ' s talk we feel that we have a more sympathetic understanding of Mr. Sunday ' s methods. On Sunday, March 25th, we had the pleasure of hearing Mrs. E. A. McCul- loch. a graduate of Victoria College, speak on How to Find Happiness. She told us that we must find happiness through kindness and love toward oth- ers. We need friends to make us happy, and the most important friend is Christ, next comes mother, then our personal friends, book friends and finally our friends of nature (the birds, trees, flow-

vox COLLEGII 21 ers, etc.). If we have friends we want to sen e them, and in these days there are so many ways in which we can serve. On Sunday evenino , April 1st, we had had a very pleasant chan -e by way of a song service. Miss Maxwell presided over the service and the program was as follows : Solo, ' ' My Task, ' ' rendered by Dorothea Charlton; readin :, The Last Word, by Henry Van Dyke, given very effectively ])y Mrs. Merkley, and duet, ' ■ ' My Faith Looks up to Thee, sung by Lois and Ruth Dixon. On Sunday evening, May 13th, Dr. Hare gave a very inspiring address. We always enjoy having our Principal Emeritus speak to us. and we only wish he could come oftener. We always - enjoy the evenings on which Miss Maxwell reads to us and Sunday evening, May 27th, when she read The King of the Golden River, by Ruskin, was very much appreciated. Our sympathies went out to poor little Gluck as he was so cruelly treated by his evil brothers, who, through their wickedness, were turned into big black stones, and we rejoice with him when he was so justly paid for his kindness and unselfishness. AFiss Zeigler, who is an enthusiastic Y.W.C.A. worker, spent the week-end of June 2nd with Miss Wright. On Satur- THE SONG OF day evening she spoke to us about the summer camps held for the college Y.W. C.A. girls. On Sunday afternoon Miss Zeigler met the cabinet of our Y. W. C. A. and gave us many helpful hints for carrying on our work. Then in the even- ing she spoke in the chapel on ' ' The Four-folded Life for Girls. Miss Zeig- ler ' s visit was much enjoyed by all, and she was indeed an inspiration to the girls. On May 20th, our Sunday evening was spent in a most enjoyable Avay. In place of meeting in the concert hall, we gathered in the drawing room for an in- formal service. We were all more than delighted to hear Miss Gott, who was so good about singing for us. Some of the selections were: Riley ' s 0 Heart of Mine, Kipling ' s Recessional, There were Ninety and Nine, Behold the Master Passeth By, and the old favor- ite, ' ' There is a Green Hill Far Away. ' ' Miss Gott ' s singing is always an inspir- ation, and we appreciate it so much. Miss Ball also afforded us great plea- sure by reading ' ' The Song of the Man, ' ' by Eleanor Hallowell Abbott, which is printed in this number of the Vox at the request of the girls. This little poem was very much enjoyed by everyone, as we all love to hear Miss Ball read and wish she would read oftener. THE MAN. God, is it good that a man should know That the world was made for his own, From the farthest })low of the ice and the snow To the warmth of his own hearthstone? God, is it good that a man should sight In the bii ' ds and the beasts and the trees. In the day ' s delight, and the marvel of might. Even (lod ' s desire to please? Must he know that the fever that frets in his veins Is the pulse and the life of the race; Must he know that the gains of his farthest domains Are bred in the flame of his face? God, is it safe that he knows he was born To the uttei ' most joy of the eai ' th, From the glorious dawn of creation ' s fii ' st morn To the Judgment ' s havoc and dearth?
