lines of both street car systems nm within a quarter of a block of the buildings , and transfers can be had from them to all other lines in the city. 4. The next advantage is found in the accessibility of the public library, ( which .is the largest library west of Chicago) and other buildings of an educational character which are open to the public. The library is to be located immediately adjacent to the Institute building, and at the present time is only a few minutes walk away. 5. A further advantage is found in the opportunity for recreation. There are tennis courts immediately adjacent to the Institute. All the ocean beaches are accessible by street car lines. Some of them can be reached in half an hour and others of them in an hour. Mt. Lowe and Mt. Wilson can be reached hy trolley. The students on their rest clays take many outings together, and parties needing rest go to the seashore or mountain resorts. Devotional Life "That was a great lack in my school life," said one who is growing old in Christian service, when the devotional life of the Institute was under discussion. 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 allowed between the rising bell and the breakfast bell for dressing and the quiet hour period-an opportunity to look to Goel 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 clay that God may have given them. The students assemble again at the close of the evening meal , for a season of prayer and testimony. The students themselves have charge of this service, 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, thar rl efiniteness in prayer is learned.
