Beginning with the new term the regular classes will be held in the morning instead of in the afternoon as heretofore. From 9 to 10 a Bible lecture, from 10 to 11 a music class, from 11 to 12 a Bible lecture. The change is commending itself already, although it has necessitated a change of work on the part of some stu dents. T he F all T erm . The prospects for the new term are very encouraging. Nearly 100 new students have been accepted who ex pect to register on the first Monday in Octo ber. This is the earnest of a large regis tration. We bespeak the prayers of our friends, and theirs, for these easnest young people in their new surroundings, facing new problems and beset by new temptations, that they may, by God’s grace, become skilled workers for Him. T he club room on the seventh floor of the men’s department was inaugurated with an all night prayer meeting, about fifty men being in attendance. It was one of the best prayer meetings of that kind we have ever held—many men reached the place of victory and we believe that some things of great moment to the Institute were settled. A joyful company of men went out in the early morning to be and do more for their Lord than ever before. T he P rint S hop . We opened the print shop in July and commenced a successful business at once. Mr. Havermale, with hi 3 long experience in_ the, printing business, and Mr. Lees, with his persuasive powers on the outside, have made this possible.
