SUMMER WORK
First in order at Northheld this summer was the
young mems conference from June 26 to July The
we'll understood purpose Of this conference was to
deepen the spiritual life of students to train them
to lead the organized Christian work of their in
situations, and to help them to make their lives
count for the most for the Kingdom OF God after
| leaving college.
This was followed by the young women's con-
| ference, July to Is, inclusive In response &c
numerous urgent requests it seemed wise to resume
! the sessions of the Mortified young womens con-
| ference. which were suspended last year. 1t was
continued upon the lines which have made 1t
! a blessing TO many lives in the past.
Among the teachers engaged were Professor w.
W. White, president of the Bible Teachers College,
! New York; the Rev. John Kelman, of Edinburgh.
and DIR. G. Campbell Morgan, who gave for the first
time in Mortified his wonderful course, THE Crises
OF the Christ" The lectures we'll attended
and excited lively interest that it decided
| TO continue the school this year. Apart however
from added and different lectures few radi-
! cal changes made. AS before, tuition fees
were charged. and no previous Scriptural training
was required for admission. The term of the school
comprised the entire month Of July, overlapping the
young mems and young womens conferences in
| such a way that any one attending the school
! could at the time take the advantage of the
conferences. Much of the time three lectures were
given each day, in addition to the meetings held
among the students themselves. The courses this
! summer were The Life of a Christian" Three
Aspects of the Temptation Of Christ and ELEVEN
| Studies In Corinthian l." by the Rev. DR.. G. Camp
bell Morgan: THE Oracles of Cod a series OF
lectures delivered last winter in Exeter Han, Lon
don, by Dr. a T. Pierson OF Brooklyn, and de-
tailed study of parts Of the Old Testament by Pro-
fessor n. FAY Smith, Of the Bible department OF
| Mount HermOn Schoo..
CAMP NORTHFIELD.
! For supplementary reading and individual search
the splendid Biblical library OF Northfed Seminary
opened. The afternoons were set aside for this
| kind OF work and for helpful social times among
the students. This later feature was augmented BY
the proximity OF Camp Mortified. whose hospita bic
| doors are opened each summer to four hundred OF
! FIVE hundred men from the cities and colleges. En-
thusiastic reports are given % the enjoyable out
