Mt. Lowe and Mt. Wilson can be reached by trolley. The students on their rest days take many outings together, and parties needing rest go to the seashore or mountain reso rts. 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, recently. 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 ri sing bell and the breakfast bell fo r dressing and the quiet hour period-an opportunity to look to God before looking upon man. During the superintendent s' half hour immed iately fo llowing the morning meal, the men and women gather together in the two rooms respectively assigned fo r morning devotion, for a season of prayer and devotional study of the Word. The superintendents preside at thi s session, bringing whatever message for the day that God may have given them. The students go again to these rooms at the close of the evening meal, fo r a season of prayer and testi mony. 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 cor ridor gather in a student's room at whatever hour is most convenient to di scuss 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.
