God was come we should be led into all
truth, and that it is his spirit in educa-
ton that lends it much of it's value. The
power to generalize is one Of the great
est results of education. The boy work.
ing his arithmetic does not think of
general law back of the examples, but the
older student thinks out the general prin-
ciple upon which the problems are based.
AS clouds may be the principle, the rain
the special form it takes, touching and
benef1ting the world, so Christianity is
the generalization and the Christ-likeness
as shown in the lives Of his followers is
that specific form in which the principle
can touch and help the world.
The Y. w. G. A., of which there are
420 student associations in as many col
leges,> and with a membership of $4,000
young women is voluntary organization
for Christian work, to help students in
entering a strange school, to teach the
Bible and to prepare students for mission
airy work and support them in It, One of
it's helpful influences are the four sum-
ner conferences, at which 2,025 girls were
in attendance last year. The formative
time in one's life is during college days.
The Y. w. G. A. is g. help In making the
spiritual training parallel with the intel
lectual A representative from the
worlds conference said: I'VE will never
| have a perfectly rounded Christianity I'M
| TIL we have people from every nation shar-
| table," The idea that the Christianization
| of the world is coming from it's students
is very important one. We are being
led by our students in every line. The
| fact Of having spent four years in an in
stitution makes one a marked person.
And if we are not made active by the
training sometimes, we are -shamed into
| activity by the opinions Of those around
us. Cecil Rhodes was a man Of power
and he knew where power came from.
Have your intellectual life we'll trained
and tempered with spiritual truth.
