A Young Mems Christian Association

Zltion known as the Knights of King
Arthur, which had been in existence for
several years, disbanded, and it is pro-
posed to use part of the members from
this organization as nucleus for the

for other purposes. Plans are to take
definite shape and the work of organiza-
ton commenced as soon as possible.
The Woman's Club is entitled to the

and of viewing series of splendid illus
trations upon the timely subject, "The
Philippines" in COburn Hall, Tuesday
evening, last, by Frank r. Robson.
1t was at first announced that the sub
iect of the illustrated lecture would be
Japan, and this was what the lecturer
agreed to give when engaged by the
Club, but he kindly consented to make
the change, much TO the delight of the
officers of the club and to the high salts
faction of the large audience. The lee
ture was very entertaining and instruc-
tive. The illustrations were selected
with excellent judgment, were artist
cally superior, and were effectively dis
played. The descriptions were vivid
and taking, and gave most, If not all the
auditors present, ideas of Luzon and the
FilippinOs they had not previously en-.
tertained. Such lectures are Of genuine
value to hearers.
