7. w. G. A. At The
W'omen's College

Miss Kathryn jackson led the
Y. w. c. A. meeting at the Wo-
mems College last Sunday night.
She took SIS Your Bible Dusty 2"
as her subject and asked pertinent
questions about Bible reading.
Can a student find time every dav
for voluntary reading?" Miss
Hllda Stevens said that one of the
reasons for coming to college is to
train ourselves in good habits, and
that a systematic reading of the
Bible is an important habit to ac-
quire.
Miss Laura Rodney answered
the question, "How much time
should be spent in the reading?'
by saying that it should be part
of our daily routine.
Miss Edith McDougle said that,
though we may not be able to set
Newark post. (Newark, Del.) 1910-1969, 1917-10-24

a definite time, it is better to do
our reading in the morning in
order to start the day we'll. Miss
Caudell added that we should
speak to our Heavenly Father be-
fore we speak to our earthly
friends. We need our daily mama
fresh and as a guide for the day.
Miss Paulina Smith illustrated
the meaning of "Bible Circle" by
the geometric circle, of which
every point in the circumference
is equally distant from the central
point. In a Bible class the CEN
trail point might be the common
ideal toward which each member
of the class is striving.
Miss Esther Dodson sang.
Next Sundays meeting will be
led by Miss Mary Jane Mason and
will be on Social Service"
