day at II, These exercises have be-
come very popular with the student
body and. although attendance Is not
demanded, almost every student Is
regularly present. There is always
some excellent singing by the choir,
and occasionally vocal solos or instru-
mental selections are given. Short,
pithy addresses By members OF the
faculty or prominent visitors occupy
the time until adjournment Is taken
TO the classrooms for the daily theo-
logical work. As rule, not more than
20 minutes are given TO this devotional
meeting. but the time Is always well
spent, and the brief change from the
days routine OF classwork is helpful
TO everyone

valuable Instructions are given I'm the
brief addresses during the devotional
exercises, This was noticeobly true
