Devotional Life "That was a great lack in my school life," said one who is growing old in Christian se rvi ce, when the devotional life of the Institute was under di scussion. It was a joy to be able to give the assurance of ample attention to it here. It begins with the awakening of the day. One hour is a llowed between the rising bell and the breakfast bell for dressing and the quiet hour period-an opportunity to look to God before looking upon man. During the superintendents' half hour immediately following the morning meal, the men and women gather together in the two rooms respectively assigned for morning devotion, for a season of prayer and devotional study of the Word. The superintendents preside at this session, bringing whatever message for the day that God may have given them. The student s assemble again at the close of the evening meal, for a season of prayer and testimony. The students themselves have charge of this se rvice, being assigned in turn by the superintendents. Another daily feature of great helpfulness is the corridor prayer meeting. The students on each corridor gather in a student's room at whatever hour is most convenient to discuss their perplexing personal problems and to present them to God for solution. It is here, as perhaps at no other gathering. that definiteness in prayer is learned.
