REVIVAL SERVICES BEGUN.
d. EIIgo's Class Meeting Opening Of
Regular Annual Revival Service.
From the Trinity Chronicle

For the past several years it
has been the custom Of the Young
Mems Christian Association to
hold a series Of revival services
directly following the period Of
mid.term examinations. These
services usually last for a week
and have proven to be one Of the
greatest agencies for the promo
ton OF the Christian spirit and
character among the college stu
dents. These services have been
arranged for as usual this year
and Mr.. L. p. Howard, an alum-
nus Of the college and at present
pastor Of the Methodist church at
Rocky Mount has been secured
to conduct the services.
The real meeting began Sun
day afternoon with a class meet
ing held by DR.. Kilgo in the Y.
NJ. c. A. hall. Many Of the boys
Of the college were present then
and showed much interest in the
outcome of the meeting. This
service was a kind Of consecra
ton or preparation service for the
other services TO follow during the
week. Hearts were touched with
the feeling Of their own needs and
the needs of others and many
pledged themselves to prepare to
receive the blessings Of the meet.

them.
On Monday night Mr.. Howard
was here and the meeting began

Meaning Of Cemetery.

II Is not correct to say that "ceme-

The word ish from the Greek @Koime-

the place Of the dead. There is moth
ing in the etymology OF tie word 10

originally intended to convey the idea
that the departed We're really dead

means BY which the worm enters
the human body and the results

the intestincs. He said that some-
times the presence Of hookworms
caused an abnormal appetite for
curious things such as clay, wool,
cotton, etc, and that he had
known one hoy who ate three

the worm according to his inves-

After this discussion by Dr.
Stiles the members Of the associa
ton adjourned to the library
building where there was pre-
pared fJr their welcome a grac-
ious banquet rendered by the IA
Guilty OF the college and the park
school. The guests were ushered
into the reading room of the Ii
brary and after spending some lit
lie time in pleasant conversation
they were led down the receiving

many others Of the prominent men
of the assembly. After this they
were carried to the corridors
where refreshments were served
in the form of salads and cakes
and cream with the letters L. c,
nicely nodded into the slices.
Cigars were passed and at late
hour the banqueters adjourned.
Durham gave these visitors
most hearty welcome and during
their stay here treated them in ;
royal manner and it was the spec

have them hold one OF their meet
ings on her campus. All wis
