Mrs. J. P. Welles, teacher of the Pasadena Eteri, gave the opening address and it was a most appropriate mes sage. Outside speakers who gave talks at the conference were: Mr. Roy Creighton, Rev. J. H. Hutchins, Mrs. David Thomas, Mrs. Grace Weller, Mrs. Charles E. Cow man. There were returned missionaries, home on fur lough, who gave most inspiring messages and quickened the interest of the girls greatly in missions. The Bible study hour, in charge o f Miss Anna Gleason and Miss Elizabeth Merritt, of Long Beach, was a blessing each day. The twilight hour when the girls gathered around the great open fireplace in “ Say So Circle,” out under the stars, was one o f the most blessed times in the day’s program. Miss Scott gave the message each evening and usually gave opportunity for testimonies from the girls. Over five hundred girls attended the conference, be sides the many visitors and friends who came for just a glimpse o f the conference. This is a record-breaking attendance for a Lyceum-Eteri conference— far above our previous records. The Lyceum Club received the two $15.00 prizes, one for having the most girls in attendance and the other for having the most new members since last conference. Pasadena Eteri received the banner for the largest atten dance, based on mileage and percentage of membership present. Over the Top “ Over the top”—yes, those were the words he said! He had come to a young people’s Bible Class held in con nection with one of our adult neighborhood Bible classes. He was sixteen years old and he. had a mountain of dif ficulty facing him in the form of two subjects which were too hard for him—mathematics and physics. Oh, he did want to pass in the examinations! Prayer was offered and the God who answers prayer, answered magnificently. The lad said he went “ over the top,” 99 per cent. The goodness o f God so touched his heart that he was ready to receive God’s Son as his Saviour and signed his acceptance in a pocket Testament.
for the ‘ faith once delivered to the saints,’ and for your devotion to Jesus Christ, because it reacts upon us in a blessed way.” Weaned From Modernism W e believe the following extract from a letter from a graduate o f Hamilton College (the writer being a staunch Fundamentalist) will be of interest to some of our readers. “ We recall the day,” says this writer, “ when our daughters, who were in college and ready to be carried away into modernism, were home for Christmas when you called one afternoon and got hold of them. You had not gotten off the steps when Nina and Elsie were1in each other’s arms exclaiming to each other, ‘Wasn’t it great ! How we would like to take our notes and go over them with him !’ The outcome o f this desire was that they both spent a large part of the next Monday after noon with you in your study. The two girls were weaned from modernism forever. No more anxiety in mother’s and father’s minds over them, on this score !” The above refers to the editor o f T he K ing ’ s B usi ness and brings cheer to his heart ,at a time when some o f his brethren are saying that he is doing the opposite o f that to which this letter from an anxious father bears witness. ' Record-Breaking Attendance at Lycéum-Eteri The seventh annual summer conference o f Lyceum- Eteri clubs was held at Camp Bethel, San Dimas Canyon, June 30 to July 8. Many of the “ old timers” in Lyceum- Eteri circles look back to the first summer conference and pronounce it the V ERY BEST conference, because that was the conference at which they made their decisions to surrender their lives for full-time service or even, some o f them, to accept Christ as their Saviour; This year, even the “ old timers” agreed heartily that this conference, the seventh one, was the best one in all thè history o f the clubs.
