A crowd of the women students OF
Irove City College made mild demon
'tration the other morning against the
hour OF commencing chapel During
his term the chapel begins at 7:2o a, IN,
which is before daylight, and the young
people do not relish turning out OF their
beds before this time. This morning
list before the last chapel bell rang a
large number of the women students
filed into the room, each one carrying
a lighted lantern. They proceeded to
heir seats, holding the anters on their
knees. The evident amusement OF the
other students embarrassed the mem
bers OF the faculty, but President |. G.
Keller relieved them and turned the
laugh upon the girls by aptly choosing
lor the text of his morning discourse
Matthew $40: "Lct your light so shine
before men that they may see youi
good works." The lanterns will no
likely appear again.
