 The report of the committee vas thoroughly discussed and it was the sense of the members present that the decision of the committee be ae cepted.
 The social feature of the class which has proven so helpful to ths class the past year was decided on again for this season, so the tenmin ute lunch preceding the Bible will be one of the features. Every effort pos sible will be made to enlist the fellows for membership in the study club. The name of the class will remain the same as last year, "The Bible Study Fellowship Club" and it is hoped that the attendance this year may be even better than that of last season. At recent meeting of the Gould line Y. M C. A. secretaries, Secretary Rich ardson reports that the Bible class at tendance and interest in the Pine Bluff association seemed to surpass any on the system.
 The recent church party club move ment recently inaugurated by the as sociation was commended, and the effort was considered worthy of pushing" If any person reading this article knows of any boy or man who is not regular church attend ant and feels an interest in helping their fellow man, they will be doing good deed by plotting such a friend to the Y.

 The motto of the religious committee of the association this year is Help the Other Fellow Volunteers for such service are in demand Will yoa enlist?

IMPORTANT COMMITTEE
 MEETING AT Y. M. (. X
Important Committee Meeting.

Important Committee Meeting.
 A very enthusiastic committed meeting of the religious department of the association was held last Friday night. An unusually good number o1 the members of the committee were present, and the indications are very encouraging for some definite work this fall and winter.
 MT. D. w. Richey, chairman of the committee, presided in his usual happy style, and all the fellows present were made to feel at home The main theme for discussion was the man. ner in which the largest number of men might be reached, and it was de- cided to make the strongest effort for a larger attendance at the mems gos- pei services on Sunday afternoon, and in order to accomplish this it was decided to follow the aggressive ad- vertising methods similar to what were used last season. From now on the little announcement cards will be used and a special effOft will be made for .judiciOuS distribution of same. The members of the committee have also agreed to constitute them selves committee of one for definite service on all occasions where they may be of assistance in promoting the moral and religious tone of the as SOciatiOn.
 The Bible club committee, which was appointed several weeks ago to arrange definitely for the courses for the season, handed in the following report:
 Pine Bluff, Ark, Oct. 1, 1906. Mr. D. w. Rlcney, Chairman Religious
 Work Committee Y. M. c A.
 Dear Sir: Your committee appoint ed for the purpose of selecting a teacher for the mems Bible class for the ensuing term beg to report that after careful consideration of the inn portance of this work we have decid- ed upon Rev. C. C. Cline of the Chris tian church as the one who, from all points of view, would, in all probabil- ity, be able to obtain the best results from this class; for in addition to being so thoroughly qualified for the work, he will probably be better able to give the class regular attention than any one who could be secured
 After several conferences, Dr. Cline has consented to take the class upon condition that the class be from 4:30 to 5:30 D. m. Sunday after noon. This is in order that he may secure little rest after this class and before going into his regular Sunday evening services with his con- gregation.
 In order to meet his wishes in the matter your committee would respect
