MEHARRY NOTES.

The regular monthly service of Wal
den University was held at the Me-
harry Auditorium on Sunday morn
ing, the 18th inst, at II o'clock, and
the sermon was preached by DR.. r.
H. Boyd, of the Baptist Publishing
Board, of this city. The students of
the several departments of the uni
versity, together with a large number
of the people of the city, were in at
tendance. DR.. Boyd took occasion to
impress the student body that it de-
volved on them to prepare themselves
not for the purpose of going forth
into the world in quest of financial
prosperity and selfish interests, but
that it was their bounden duty to
foster the spirit of altruism and to
take an active part in the contribu-
ton of material for the true and per-
manent development of the race.
He further declared that unless
they clothed themselves with the ar
mour of Christianity, they could not
hope to take their defensive stand in
the fierce battle of life.
