On Wednesday, the first day after Assembly began, Rev. J. N. Ashwood of Pasadena, California, led the devo-tionals. He spoke to us of being true to our fathers and mothers.

All of us are where we are and what we are because of what our parents have sacrificed for us. We must strive to repay them for what they have done for us. We must be men and women of strong convictions, "Stand fast in the faith." There will be times when our courage will be tested, but if we have good courage we will succeed in making the world go forward. Rev. John D.

Nutting, who has been working among the Mormons of the west spoke also. We have the command, "Go ye into all the world." This is not "Sit ye," but "Go ye." This does not mean just the preachers, but the whole church, every Christian. The reason the Mormons are succeeding is because they are applying the text of going into the world and preaching their gospel. They do their missionary work with such a vim that they succeed. If we put more into our work we, too, will succeed.

Dr. J. Knox Montgomery, "president of Muskingum College, spoke Thursday morning. Edison says that in four years the world has leaped forward 250 years. The world needs men and women who can carry on the work that JvJaid but for them, We -must-have men and women who know what tiey know.

They must know it so well that they know that they know it. We must be as well equipped for the work as the men were in the army. We should practice the "everlasting do." Be honest, be sincere, be truthful, be persistent. Rev. O.

A. Keach of Akron, Ohio, an alumnus of Cooper College in the class of 1898 was the speaker Friday morning. There is nothing more essential than to realize that God is in every Dr. Thomson, president of Tarkio College, Prof. Matson sang a solo, and Rev.

James A.

Eastwood, Ella Tippin, Harry Hanlion, Bertha Lindsay, James H. Scott, Chester W. Ball. Costumes Blanche McCrea, Wilma The sermon wag -divided into three parts and Rev. McCowen took as the heading of the first part the first phrase of his text: "I must work." He told us that work was one of the greatest blessings granted to human nature.

The phrase, "of Him that sent me" was used as the heading of the second part of the sermon and we were shown how the kind of work we do is limited to the works our Maker has for us to do. In the last place, by the phrase, "while it is yet day," we were told when we are to do our work.
