the matter with him2

The usual Tuesday evening prayer
meeting last week, led by Miss Glenn
ems, was devoted principally to songs.
Sketches of the authors of several old
hymns, such as crock of Ages"
"Come ye disconsolate," were given
by the students, after which they
were sung in quartetts, duets, and
solos. This is something new in the
way Of conducting the. song services
and the interest, with which it was
regarded shows that the preparation
and care in FURNISHING this program
was appreciated by all present.
Mr.. H. P. Anderson, Acting State
Secretary of the Y. M. c. A. ad-
dressed the Y. M. c. A. of the COL
lege last Monday afternoon. He
spoke Of the progress in the Y. M. C.
A. work in the State, and the advan-
cement it had made IN the last two
years. Two years ago there were
twenty college associations while we
have now twenty four. The progress
Of the work in Medical Colleges is
especially noticeable. He then urged
our association to send delegates to
the State convention, which meets in
Murfreesboro Feb. to 9, saying that
tine way to ensure progress for our
selves was to come in contact with
others and thus we would imbibe some
Of their zeal.
Saturday evening Jan. rs, the two
sections of the Athenian Literary
Society held their regular monthly
Ijoint meeting in the Athenian Hall.
The Hall was we'll filled with men,
bers and visitors, who heartily enjoyed
| the program which was presented.
The Grafton given by w. T. Robin
son, subject, 'James A. Garfield, +"
was well rendered and appreciated by
all. A comic defamation given by
G.. w. Eisenhart showed that lie
was we'll acquainted with that kind of
work. The next thing IN order was
the debate, question, Resolved that
women should have the right of suf-
frage." The affirmative was presented
by Thos. Mcguire and H. L. Mat
thews a I'D denied by M. H. Gamble
and 7. H. Wallace. The oratory dis
played in this debate showed that
there is talent in abundance for thai
kind of work in the soeie.y. A very
amusing and witty essay was read by
Fred Campbell; also the music given
by the Athenian orchestra was excl.
lent and up to the standard. The
last thing on program was the reading
of the Athenian by H. M. Welsh, an6
this by no means was inferior to pre-.
vious numbers. He entertained the
audience for half an hour with edi
torials and jokes. 1t can be we'll sale
that this was the most successful john
, meeting the Society has ever had.
