half a million dollars invested for
its use certainly has duty as well
as power to give something OF very
great value to the world in return.
1t might be Interesting to those not

College TO know what II gives TO
society 10. return for the large gifts
mentioned above with which society
has entrusted It.
First IL all are the lives of the
u Sty- five men and women who devote
their time to the work of the insti-
tuition in various ways. The greatest
influence upon lives is that OF the

and purity and nobleness will spring
up as a result. Every worker In Be

the qualities OF Christian manhood
and womanhood which he or she pos
sesses, and the consequent power to
uplift and inspire the young people
with whom they come In contact. This
Is general. and for all who come,
alike.
other things OF a general nature
for all alike are the Library with
its beautiful building its $4,000 good
books, and its large number OF mag

States; the Lyceum course OF seven
numbers, combining, music, thought
and fun; the literary societies in
which each student may take part
and listen 10 exercises OF profit
and pleasure; the musical organiza-

and last and best, the religious life
OF the school including Sunday school,
Young Peoples Societies. regular
preaching services and the great week

What, may be asked. has Berea in
particular for certain classes OF peoplef
