These are the constant expressions of visitors to the Girls’ Lyceum Club. It was Tuesday night in the middle of July and we looked upon three hundred girls, seated at the tables, chatter ing over a ten-cent supper. Now the sup per was good and wholesome, but it could not be the supper that drew such a splen did lot of young women from the offices and stores. Then we saw them seated be fore the platform, singing the Gospel songs and how they did sing and they whistled, too, and did it as well as the men and much sweeter. I wondered if it could be the music that charmed the girls and drew them together on this summer night, but it could hot be that, for the service of song was short. Then there was the Bible talk and they were all attention. There was yitense interest manifested; there were flushed cheeks and firmly pressed lips ana earnest eyes fixed upon the speaker and there was visible evidence of deep purpose and then I knew that the truths of the Bible were gripping the hearts of the girls and that th a t was the thing which brought, held, kept them. That was the thing which moved them to bring others with them. And then I wondered why it was that so few could see that the Bible was the Book
that God had made to fit into the need of the hearts of young people, and that Bible classes, real Bible classes with the Bible as the chief attraction, were, after all, the most attractive classes in the world. And I saw another thing, a young girl, timidly put her arm around the mother teacher of the class and said, “ Can I call you mother? I haven’t any mother of my own.” And then I realized also that the Bible with a teacher who bosomed a mother-heart had much to do with the keeping of the class together. I went out into the night with a note of praise upon my lips and breathed a prayer, asking that God bless and multi ply the usefulness of the Lyceum Club of the Bible Institute.
