who simply wishes education in music. The music work of the Institute is always made subordinate to the study of the Bible, and music is taught on ly as a means of qualify ing one for more effective soul-winning ser vice. DEVOTIONAL LIFE It beg ins with the awakening of the day. One hou r is a ll owed between the rising bell and the breakfa st bell for dress ing and the quiet hour peri od-an opportunity to look to God before look ing upon men. During the superintendents' hal f hour immediately following the morn ing mea l, the men and women gather in the two rooms respective ly assigned for morning devoti on, for at this session, bring ing whatever message for the day God may have given them. The students assembl e again at the close of the evening meal, for a season of prayer and tes timony. The students themselves have charge of thi s service, being ass igned in turn by the super intendents. Another daily feature of g r eat 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 thei r perplexing personal probl ems and to present them to God for solution. It is her e that defi niteness in prayer is learned, as perhaps at no ot her gathering.
