The purpose of the student volunteer move

them for their life work, and to lay an equal
burden of responsibility for the world evangel-
Tization on all students who are to remain at

the names Of about 1900 volunteers, Already
lover 1000 have sailed to mission fields under
the regular mission boards Over 1900 stu
dents are making n thorough study of missions
Lin over 900 colleges and Summaries.
The students have been led to give S4) 900
year TO missions and are seeking to stir up the
churches and millions OF members OF Christian
ssocietles of young people to enlarge their Civ
ing so that all the volunteers may be sent The
movement has spread not only to the colleges
vof all Christendom but also to all mission
lands so that to-day the Christian students in
cover 800 institutions, on Ave continents and of
all races are united in an aggressive effort to
~extend Christ's kingdom speedily throughout
the world. Under the influence Of this move
-ment the subject of world wide missions has
taken stronger hold Of the convictions Of stu-
dents and is calling forth from them more en-
thusiasm and unsefsh devotion than any other
idea.
After some interesting addresses tho
