MAJORS AND MINORS

Washington, (Lincoln Heights)
D. c.
Easter morning dawned bright and
beautiful on the Heights. Instead of
our usual eight o'clock Sunday
School, we had services at eleven
O'Clock, special music, in which the
children participated, being one of
the features. The chapel was beau
tifully decorated with flowers from
the campus. Beside the usual Eas-
ter Sunday School lesson, three of
the Sunday School teachers told
stories, making clear to the child
mind, as well as the adult, the reason
that eggs, lilies and butterflies are
used as emblems of the day. This
kind of practical work is excellent
for the young ladies who intend to do
mission work among children.
In the afternoon, the Rev. Wal
ter H. Brooks preached for us, TAX
ling for his text, IF We then be risen
with Christ, seek those things which
are above"-Col. 81. The subject
was handled in a mastery manner,
which brought to the hearers the
message intended by the writer of
the words.
To hear Rev. Brooks once, is to
desire to hear him again, and then
again. His logic is simple, yet con-
vincing; he convicts, then offers the
redeeming grace.
DR.. Brooks is a member of Our fac
ulty and is always on hand to teach
The Life of Christ"
Our president had asked that all
reports of moneys received for the
new dining hall, be made that day.
Our friends from the city, and the
students rallied splendidly, so that we
shall try to begin the room the first
of next week. By the time the frame
is up, we trust to have received
enough to finish the walls and ceiling
We need some more room to accom-
modate us at meal time.
We know our good friends who so
Loyalty responded to our February
appeal, are wondering what has be-
come of the pictures they were to
receive. The severe illness of our
president, has necessitated the delay !;
but the work is now under way, and
the pictures will be forthcoming sOon
In the meantime, we have your name; f;
so don't grow impatient.
We are very glad to report the i'm
provement in the health of Miss
Burroughs, our president 1t is in
deed remarkable The physicians had
ordered that she be moved to some
quiet resort, that her mind and body
might through perfect repose, return
to their normal condition. The OBJ
legations on the school property at
this time so burdened her, that she
refused to go; chosing rather to en-
dure the necessary noise and dis
comfort incident to school routine,
than to leave her post when things
were in such a critical state. She
said: at is painful for me to be
ordered to take absolute rest for
awhile, because my interest is in the
work of our Convention, and the
needs are so pressing now, that |
would suffer far more, were I COM
PEELED to leave at this time, than l am
now suffering - although l am per
fectly helpless as far as assisting in
the work here"
We do trust that the constituents
of the work will make 1t possible for
Miss Burroughs to take the needed
leave of absence, that she may be the
better fitted to continue the work dur
ing the summer months. A little eff
fort on their part will bring this to
pass, without burdening anyone.
The school has been favored from
time to time with illustrious visitors.
Each Sunday, some divine from the
city has preached for us. Our pres
ident announced Sunday that since
the women must contribute their
part, and since the warm months
were coming, we give the month of
April for the women who are to ad-
dress us.
We look forward to welcoming as
