Womens College Notes
University Of Delawar
BY RUTH ANNE RUSSELL.

From mere talking acquaintance
comes a deeper understanding OF the
person whom we wish to make our
friend. We tell OF family and home
friends, finally aims and ambitions.
Then comes the desire to do some
thing for our friend. SO II is with
Jesus lie is eager TO be our Great
Friend. Everyone must learn 20
know him in her own way. To find
about his life we must read the
Bible. To become Intimately ac-
quainted we must talk with Jesus
In the way OF prayer Then we
viii come to follow Jesus and try tc
do things for his kingdom. The
personality Of Miss Harlan which
plainly showed that she was a friend
to Jesus as well as her spoken words
made a deep impression on the girls.
