Description:	THE NORMAL ADVANCE51The church he has known from a boy and is now equipped to pay back what he owes for its fostering care. The association he has known more intimately during student days and is prepared to use its spirit with new adaptation of method for service among city young men.How easy it is for a recent graduate settling m a city to leave to others all responsibility for church and association service, when he would seem to owe it to himself and these or¬ ganizations to be an active agent in each.It seems reasonable to think that if more college men during their course could get a taste of the keen satisfaction which results from real service, larger numbers of them year by year after graduation would lend more largely of their time, money, thought and best efforts to these activities which have for their purpose the uplift of society and the pushing forward of the work of the church.Social service is not a fad. It is not the idea of one mans mind. The idea is the result of much careful thought on the part of thinking men, of wide observation and broad experience in association work—all of whom are deeply interested in the Student Association work and are anxious to see it reach outward and upward and forward producing the most satisfactory results possible.To be sure, not every college can take up the same activities, but every college can do some¬ thing worth while.If all the fellows were just like me, What kind of a Y. M. C. A. would there be ? If all the members were just like me, What would the attendance on Tuesday be? Tf all the fellows attended like me, AVhat kind of meetings would there be?If all were boosters just like me, How many new members would there be? If all members were just like me, But—whats the use, they couldnt be! Now listen, fellows, I promise all, Next Tuesday to be in the hall  And from this on a booster be, And always yours in S. M. & B.Y. W. C. A.The Y. W. C. A. has opened this year with the largest and most enthusiastic membership in recent years. The slogan for the year is, Every woman in the school in the Y. W. Under the successful leadership of the Misses Shaper and Taggart our contest closed with a membership of one hundred fifteen. Miss Tag- gart, the captain of the losing side, was hostess for an informal party in the association rooms on Friday evening. The hostesses-at-large were Misses Shaper, Bullington, and Ray. The Y. W. girls have also had another great treat in having with them Miss Johns, one of the national officers of the Central field. The va¬ cancies made by the withdrawal of Miss Pay- ton and Miss Georg have been filled by Miss Shaper and Miss Perkins. We are sure that all the girls are glad to know that our Bible study class will meet every Friday evening at 6:30, under the direction of Miss Bailey, in the club rooms of the city library. Our mission class has planned a series of six lectures on the emigrant question. These lectures will be at 10:30 Saturday mornings.. Girls, come to the Bible study class and lectures, and be ever present at our Tuesdays meetings. We need you, you need us.Some men, like pictures, are better fitted for a corner than for a full light.—Seneca.
