Every one who has attended the re-
vival services now in progress at the

and the excellence of the music led
by Prof Reese of Penn College. Mon
day night the pastor spoke upon the
subject OF why Are You a Christ-
ian?" He explained the elements
which go to make up Christian and
showed that the life Of consistent
Christian consists not4only In absorb
ing but In giving out and helping 9TH
ers. He held the closest attention
aud thought OF the audience until che
close, The choir and congregational
singing was good and Prof. Reese
rendered several effective solos No

YIN. A. NOTES

A league has been organized at the
Young Mems Christian Association
open to all teams taking gymnasium
work in the Association. So far SIX
teams have entered the league, viz:
Fellowship Club, LIST and End High
School teams, Senior, Junior and
Working Boys. At the recent meeting
the following officers were elected and
these to constitute the executive
committee.
President, Lee Kalbach; secretary,
Morris -Vittum; treasurer, Clarence
Paris; Chm. Constitution Committee,
Max O'Brien; Protest Committee
Harry Schmitt; schedule committee
Ed Dodds; sanction committee, Nv. H
Johnston. 1t is hoped that each team
will play one game a week on the
schedule and run the schedule up
close to May LIST. This will enable
each team to play every other team
two games. The games will be play
ed, mostly, on Saturday evenings
making this a social Saturday night
Admission will be. free to all. The

sixty boys, under eighteen years of
age, on the teams. This We feel is al
step in the right direction, of unitingI
