young men from the seminary acted as
ushers.

Dr. McCollester's scholarly treatment
of his subject, The Call of the World
to the Youth of To-day" was heard by
an audience keenly intent of absorbing
every thought of the inspiring message
which he brought and quietly responsive
10 its appeal. Apt illustrations inter-
arded his address, and telling points
we're brought home with unique force
'ulness. He said in part:
"The call of the world TO-DAY TO the
routh is one of the most serious and
inspiring of all ages. As never before.
{ calls one and all TO study themselves
