Then the group separated and passed out around the campers—all joining In the chorus;ffLet the Lower Lights be burning, Send a gleam across the wave; Some poor struggling, fainting seaman, You man rescue, you may save.’.’ Wednesday morning brought a full number out to the Sun rise meeting and all entered heartily into the song service. The message of Dr. Maclnnis was eagerly looked for, and as he appealed to the student mind he caught the attention and held it while he spoke on, “Know THyself.” The next hour was taken by Dr. .Charles E. Hurlburt, with aistrong appeal from God’s Word on “Exercise.” We are sure that blessed results will fol low, as many made up their minds to strive for the best in the spiritual realm. The closing meeting, which took the form of a Dedication Service, was led by Miss Florence Chaffee, director of Christian Education at the Bible Institute. A rich harvest of conversions and surrendered lives was gathered. The power of God in" the Conference was seen in the echo meetings held the following week in the clubs for the girls who could not attend. Many teachers are reporting conversions and surrenders taking place in the quiet of the club meetings as direct results of seed sown at the Conference. __ q __ Seasons o f Sport W E should not omit to say that along with the spiritual side of the Conference, there Were seasons of most enjoyable sport and wholesome fun.

On Tuesday, the rising whistle at six found everyone in happy readiness for another day. At seven, the choruses of fresh young voices were heard coming from the out-door audi torium under.the trees, expressing their praise and adoration; then the quiet once again, to listen to the sunrise message from Miss Gillam on “The Dress of the Soul.” At 9 :30, with smiling face, Miss Romans, thé song leader, led in old and new songs, accompanied by Gordon E.
