'. N. c. A--Brun0nian Board

Last evening occurred the first weekly
meeting OF the Y. NJ. c. A. President
jeremiah Holmes made the opening ad-
dress of welcome aud then introduced Or.
Faunce, who gave most interesting talk
upon religion in daily life and what it's
results are.
lie said that most OF all the college
needs noble manhood and the only way
OF developing this is by having a re-
ligion and using IL In every day life
Men may rise 10 high stations In life
command the confidence and respect OF
thousands, but unless they have re-
lgion as basis Of their moral life they
can not attain the full dignity which is
within their reach.
Religion Is necessary for an approach to
perfection In manhood. There is of
course a radical change of views, friend
ships, methods. and everything when
man comes TO college. lie breaks with
his home surroundings; he leaves the old
rut. comes I'm contact with new people,
intellectual men and deep thinkers The
world for him takes on a new aspect
and he learns to see things in a broader
more liberal light This is right and
proper but he must not lose sight OF his
religion
II Is that simple. commonplace. every
day religious faith. such as he learned
at his mothers knees that he needs; a.
faith that viii support him in the COM
mon, tasks of life not sunday ornament
al one which he will not use.
We must not make such a difference
between secular and sacred things. The
two should go hand I'm hand. everyth
secular could and should be done In
sacred way. We should live our religion
every day. i'm all our walks OF life mani
fest our underlying motive. The more we
use our religion the more IL will help ms.
Even now the efforts along this line are
very apparent; there is less of that spas
modic once IN a while revival religion,
and more Of the quiet persistent daily
kind In this way We can keep Gods
temples. our bodies I'm a condition suit
able for him TO dwell in.
In viewing the matter We find that all
the men i'm college whom we trust and look
up to. arc representative men of this uni
vcrsity; are fellows who have this kind
of religion. They carry II not only into the
Y Al. g. A meetings, bat also the class
room and on the athletic field. This. Is the
kind OF men who will bring honor TO their
Alma Matar: the kind of men Lincoln. Gar
fcldapd Mckinley were.the kind Of man
President Roosevelt Is. Let every one try
to benefit his college all he can, and by
taking this course to do g. he will surely
md thai he will get the most satisfactory
results
