SOUTHERN STUDENTS' CONFERENCE.
The South has come to know and appreciate
the Southern Students' Conference
which meets each summer in the
mountains of North Carolina. It may
be interesting to some to know that there
are held in different nart of our country
nine of these great student gatherings
each year. Seven of these conferences
meet In the summer, the other two during
the Christmas holidays.
The Southwestern Student Conference
was in session from December 26 to
January 3. One hundred and thirty delegates
were on hand, principally from
Mississippi, Alabama, Louisiana, Texas,
Arkansas and Oklahoma. The inspiration
and training in Christian Association
work which these men received will send
them back to become the leaders in the
Christian life of the universities and colleges
of the Southwest.
Among the speakers and leaders of
the conference were, Dr. W. D. Weatherford,
International Secretary Y. M. C. A.,

of Texas, Prof. Barcus, of Southwestern
University, Mr. W. H. White, of
the Student Volunteer Movement, Dr.
Rice, of New Orleans, Rev. B. P. Keru,
of Nashville, Mr. Neil McMillan, of Chicago.
The schedule of each day included a
Bible study hour In which the delegates
divided into groups; a conference on
college problems with special reference
to the Y. M. C. A.; an hour in which
the delegates divided respectively into
a Ministerial Institute, a Missionary Institute,
an Institute on city problems, and

form address; a Lecture on Psalms; Intercollegiate
and inter state contests in
basket ball, football and tennis; an address
on the problems of a Life Calling
and the opportunities for Christian service;
an hour devoted to Mission Study;
and a delegation meeting every night. It*
these the various delegations under Secretaries
or other trained leaders met
together for prayer and planning. This
schedule indicates that with all of its
pleasures, the Conference was a working
Conference. That so large a numhPP

and other sacrifice necessary to meet
at such a time, is a striking commentary
on the hold the Christian Association
has gotten on the student world.
The spirit of the Conference was such
as only one who has attended one of
these student Conferences can appreciate.
College patriotism ran high. Great seriousness
and deep spirituality pervaded
and possessed all. Good fellowship
which reminded one of "that above,"
made the association such as will never
be forgotten. Open mlndedness and the
spirit of decision and congratulation
characterized the entire Conference.
There were quite a number of decisions
for the Christian ministry, the foreign
field and the Y. M. C. A. secretaryship.
A larger vision of life, a deeper sense of
Qod and more Intelligent and complete
consecration to Him were the most evident
and outstanding results of the Conference
in the lives of the delegates.
