The Divinity Club met March 2. It
being a business meeting, everyone
was anxious that the meeting be
short. But before the meeting was
over, Dr. - Whet- — come in, and as
soon as the business was dispatched
with, the floor was turned over to
him. In giving instruction to the
young preachers, he told them not to
be afraid to think, be often in prayer,
practice fellowship, be careful with
finance and live a moral life. — Re¬

A truth which Is being forcefully re¬

Ruhama is that they mast take on new
life If they are to compete with the
young Lamhdin Union. Their report
for March the first entitled them to a
percentage of 94, which was far ahead
of that of I. X. L., their nearest rivals,
with 63 per cent.
This union was organised In Septem¬
ber and after a few months of strug¬
gle it has rounded out Into a thor¬
oughly compact, enthusiastic and con¬
secrated group of workers. Alton Bar¬
