10 go TO Persia soon as a missionary
Miss Roche was the speaker at the
chapel period on Monday morning
She spoke OF the fact that II Jesus
had not lived girls would not be
going from home 10 school. In
heather lands where Jesus does not
live in the hearts OF the people. there
is no word for home. The girls OF
America who have so much should
be eager and willing to share with
their sisters in foreign lands who
need so much and are so anxious
for a little help so that they may
help themselves. The need for
every kind of worker in the foreign
field Is very great-music teachers,
home economies teachers, doctors.
nurses, even those girls who wish to
take up journalism have a place for
the newspaper evangellsts in Japan
are doing great work. The student
volunteer movement began in 1886
with a few students who pledged
themselves, II God permitted, to go
some day into the foreign field. Last
year the student volunteer movement
sent out FIVE hundred missionaries.
IL expects to send out seven or eight
hundred this year Miss Roche ex-
planned the purpose OF the student
volunteer movement to bring Christ
to the whole world and the need for
workers in the foreign fields. Dur
ing Monday morning and Monday
afternoon Miss Roche met the girls
who were interested in this work.
These girls will probably form a
club to study mission work.
on Tuesday morning Mr. Ray
mond Kirkbride was the chapel
speaker The college is very fortu-
nate in having travellers who can tell
Of their many experiences. As a
teacher Of French. Mr.. Kirkbride
finds it his pleasant duty to spend
the summer in Paris. From his
description Of the trip over, Il might
seem to be a continual meal-cocoa
at 6 o'clock, a course breakfast at
7.30, bullion at II o'clock. six
course dinner al noon. afternoon tea
at o'clock, n seven course dinner at
Z o'clock, coffee and sandwiches at .
o'clock, and II after all that the pas
senger is hungry he may have fruit
in his cabin at IL o'clock.
Mr.. Kirkbride seemed TO regret
the fact that the sea was calm for he
lost the pleasure OF laughing at those
who were sea-sick. on this trip he
visited London and gave his opinion
that the Londoners need to be Amer
icanized before anyone else. He then
spoke OF the falseness OF the idea
that Americans are cheated in
France and charged higher prices
than anyone else. He also spoke OF
the danger OF causing trouble by
thinking, acting and talking in a
manner which says that a thing Is
best for any people no matter who
they are or what their condition
just because it is American. We musi
learn to respect those who cannot
speak English, for many Americans
speak only English. During his stay
/ In France Mr.. Kirkbride studied the
school system. One of the interest
/ Ing points Of difference between the
! French and American school system
Is in specializing. The Americana
do not specialize until after a ful
college course. The French special
lie after what would in America b
the sophomore year OF college. Ac
cording to Mr.. Kirkbride the out
look for France is very encouragin
for she is rapidly returning to nor
NAL life in business and in ever
way.
