from many threats and could feel

that my name was very widely known

and. in many instances, more or less
unsteady on their feet was told
that they were students from the uni
versity in which over two thousand
Of the sons Of Sweden, the very flower
of her youth, were being educated.
The scenes l witnessed. the sights l
saw upon the streets Of that city at
night, made my heart ache. and my
thoughts few in sympathy to the
mothers at home whose loving prayers
and high ambitions were being foiled
and frustrated by the temptations and
evils that were blighting the flower
and soaring the bud Of promise In
their dear ones lives. Being engaged
in Christian work, ] naturally asked
what was being done from a religious
standpoint to reach and influence
these young men. ] found that at
that time there was no Y. M. c. A.
movement for them, that they did
not attend, as a body, the established
church, that there was. in fact, no
effort being put forth to reach and
influence them. Moreover. was told
that any such attempt would be re-
scented by them. was assured that 10

jokes which told the old story that

such evil vices as drink, and other
temptations, were allowed their ruin

about the matter and the more l

body, found the opinion divided as to
the probability Of undertaking a
course of meetings in which | could
roach these young men. Some said
that should regret 1t II made the
attempt; that they might come down
In full force and create riot. Others
thought that my announcements OF
meetings for students would be abso-
lutely ignored, and that they would
allow the effort to be laughed at as
a failure. We realized that II was
necessary to do two things II we were
to succeed. First, we must arouse
their interest, secondly. they must be
assured that this effort was for them
exclusively and that the general public
would be shut out. To meet this need,
we composed a poster in Latin and
one night it was placarded conspicu-
ously all over the city. The following
day groups Of students could be seen
reading It and soon 1t became the COM
mon talk of the university. We knew
II had produced a sensation, but we
had no inkling Of what the result
would be. So we waited with some
perturbation of spirit for the appointed
hour. Never shall forget my feelings
on that memorable dag when ! faced
my first student audience. Sitting in
a little anteroom, behind the platform,
awaiting the hour for commencement,
/ could hear the rapping Of many
canes, the hum of many merry voices
as they called for my appearance. I
was told that in the hall 1000 of the
1000 students had already assembled.
and an almost overwhelming realiEa-
ton of my own youth and weakness
beset me. I was only twenty; was
a young girl, these we're young men.

10 them on the most sacred and most
intimate things Of life. / felt myself
