EDITORIAL.
The Ministerial Association feels
that it has a special service to ren-
der in our University life, and
particularly in that part of it
, which bears directly upon the Min-
isterial students. It i* not the
wish of the Ministerial students to
appear as a class set apart from the
other students, but to be simply
students having nothing which
would hold them aloof from the
others. When the young preacher
. comes to college he soon feels that
this is the general feeling and be-
gins to adjust himself to it. While
this is as it should be there come
times when he longs to be looked
upon as a preachers as he was at
home, where the prayers of loved
ones and friends were for the
preacher bay, who had surrendered
his life to the cause to which he
believed himself called, and for
which he was preparing. Then
again there is a longing for associ-
ation with those who share his
trials, longings, and aspiration;
and where he can hear discussed
those things which concern so vital-
ly his life work. He wishes to
form friendships with those who
are to be associated with him when
he enters the regular work.
Realizing that unless these long-
ings are ratified, the spirituality
and future efficiency of the minis-
ters will suffer, the Ministerial
Association attempts to give to its
members the instruction, fellow-
ship, and spiritual assistance which
they need. This it does not only
through its regular meetings, but
also through its clasB meetings
which Are conducted in a way simi-
lar to that of the old time class
meetings. The interest of the As-
sociation is not limited to the indi-
vidual composing its membership,
but it has constantly before it the
Interest of the students in general
which it expects to reach and aid
through the lives of its members.

Last year there was published for
the Epworth League Board an in-
teresting and instructive volume
entitled: "The Story of the Old
Testament, a Primer of Old Testa-
ment Introduction." The author
of this book is Prof. Frank Seay of
Southwestern University and em-
phasizes the impprtance of this
volume as an aid to students in
terested in Bible study, we quote a
few remarks of appreciation from
different sources:
Prof. C. Alphonso Smith, who is
the Edgar Allen Poe Professor of
English in University of Virginia,
a Ph. D. from Johns Hopkins, and
LL. D. from University of Missis-
sippi, states: "The Story of the
Old Testament I have read with
care. The author has put himself
into it and has succeeded in mod-
ernizing and rechanging the mes-
sage of many of the books in an ad-
mirable way, etc."
Texas Advocate, Feb. 6, 1913,
remarks: "The best short key to
the Old Testament that we have yet
found is Professor F. Seay's 'Story
of the Old Testament' * * * we
had almost-rather be without any
other single volume on the Bible
in our library than to part with
this book. We would like to see it
in the hands of every pastor and
Sunday School worker i n the State.''
Independent, N. Y. C., Jan. 9,
1913: "The Epworth League
study course is ably started by Mr.
Frank Seay's 'Story of the Old
Testament' (Nashville: Smith &
Lamar, 50 cents) which is a candid
and well written premier of Old
Testament Introduction, incorporat-
ing in a conservative way the re-
sult of modern literary study."
Severl of the students have read
this book and have found it very
helpful in their Bible study.
Among the young men and women
of this Student Volunteer Band
who have entered foreign mission
work may be mentioned: Ben O.
Hill, Cuba; John Caperton, Cuba;
C. H. Deal,Korea; Ruby Kendricks,
Korea; Dennis Macune, Mexico; L.
B. Newberry, Mexico. L. H. Rob-
inson, S. U., '11, has recently been
appointed to Cuba. Mention should
be made of J. C. Delgadillo, a
sophomore of '12, is temporarily
engaged in Mission work in Mexico.
From its very nature the Mission
Band does not stand out so promi-
nently among the college organiza-
tions, yet it does its work quietly
and surely. In the weekly meet-
ings good books on Missions are
studied, reports are given concern-
ing the present situation of some
mission fields or the life of some
great missionary is discussed, these
services make for good in the lives
of the students who purpose to do
mission work. The movement
which has become world wide in
its extent has indeed proved a
"vine whose branches ran over the
wall and was a blessing to those
who passed along the highway."

Y. M. C. A. CLOSES
ORIGIN AND WORK OF STUDENT
VOLUNTEER MOVEMENT
The Sudent Volunteer Movement
had its origin in a missionary con-
ference held at Mt. Herman, Mass.,
twenty-five years ago. This meet-
ing was composed of students,
teachers, etc., from the various
colleges and universities of the
countries of N. A. They did not
meet with the purpose of starting
any definite missionary organiza-
tion, but this group of sincere
Christian men and women felt the
need of some such movement among
the students of our country, and
the conference resulted in the Stu-
dent Volunteer Movement. John
R. Mott who is now one of the
world's greatest missionary leaders,
was the central figure of the Mr.
Hermon Conference. At this meet-
ing two traveling secretaries were
appointed whose duty it was to
visit the principal institutions of
learning and organize Student Vol-
unteer Bands where such were pos-
sible. Soon other secretaries were
appointed and thus the movement
has grown until almost every college
of our land has its representatives
in a local chapter, commonly called
"The Missionary Band." The
members of this land are students
who are preparing to do foreign
mission work. Membership in this
organization implies no pledges,
only a declaration that it is one's
.sincere purpose to do foreign mis-
sion work.
The Student Volunteer Band was
first organized at Southwestern in
1904, with five charter members:
L. B. Newberry, Roy Langston,
Ira F. Key, Dennis Macune, [J. B.
Hendrix. Since that time interest
and membership have
The Y. M. C. A. met for its last
regular meeting of this school year,
Thursday night May 5. This last
gathering, tho' small, was one full
of inspiration especially to those
who expect to return to Southwest-
ern next year, and who will try to
make the Y. M. C. A. work mean
even more to the young men than
it has previously. The service was
led by C. W. Hall who, after read-
ing the scripture lesson and giving
a few brief remarks, called upon
each of the Seniors to say a parting
word. Six faithful Seniors in Y.
*
M. C. A. work this year, namely,
Messrs. C. W. Hall, S. P. Conn,
Harry Hughes, H. W. Gillett, M.
M. Murrell and H. B. Watts, each
testified that the Y. M. C. A. had
been one of the greatest factors in
strengthening their spiritual life
during their four years of college.
They assured us that wherever they
might be n ;xt year, that on Thurs-
day night they would remember the
Y. M. C. A. in Southwestern and
pray for its future success, and
they also asked that they be not
forgotten in our prayers for their
future strength. The meeting
closed by singing, "Blest be the
Tie that Binds," while all shook
hands with the Seniors in a parting
farewell.
Let every young man who is
coming back to Southwestern next
year and thinks that the Y. M. C.
A. is dead, let him attend its meet-
ings and see for himself if he does
not feel benefited, by so doing.
