The Day of Prayer for Collcges-Notes
About Local Affairs.
UNIVERSITY, Jan. 28.--Last Thursday
was set apart by the colleges of the
United States as day of prayer for COL
leges. Consequently the University Of
Southern California dismissed all school
work for that day and instituted in
stead divine services. Early in the
morning neighborhood prayer meetings
were held among the students. At IL
O'Clock a. M, Rev. f. M. Larkin of
Central M E. church preached to the
students from the text, Consider Your
Ways. His address was practical ap-
plication to everyday student life of
the great principles of Christianity, and
was an interesting discourse.
In the afternoon Prof. A. Hardie
preached, taking for the text OF his ex-
hortation: Remember Now Thy Creator
in the Days Of Thy Youth, While the
Evils Days Come Not, Nor the Years
Draw Nigh When Thou Shalt Say:
Have No Pleasure in Them. A testi-
mony meeting was held after this SER
vice, and the general secretary of the
Y. M. @. A. of Riverside, was leader.
In the evening, DR.. Campbell of
First M. E. church preached.

exercise to mingle with their studies
it is but right that they should be pro-
vided with place of their own for
sports. There is talk of asking the fac

such grounds, but serious objections
present themselves against the wisdom
of such step. We must have an ath-
letic ground.
