COMMENCEMENT, PRESBYTERIAN
COLLEGE FOR WOMEN,
CHARLOTTE, N. C.
One of the most successful sessions
in the history of this old college closed
on Tuesday night, May 11.
on Sunday afternoon President Bridges
gave his annual talk to the departing
students. He chose for his theme "The
Aid of Habit in Religious Life."
The same evening Rev. Dr. Charles
Ghiselln of Shepherdstown, W. Va., delivered
the baccalaureate sermon to the
Senior Class.
Dr. Ghiselln took the story of Ruth's
choice as an example of decision for
Christ, and he "preached what many considered
not only a line sermon, but one
peculiar in being a Gospel sermon on a
commencement occasion.
On Monday night the annual concert
was given, 'inis is always an event of
great importance and this year a crowded
house greeted the students, and
showed in every way their appreciation
of the careiul training of the pupils.
On Tuesday evening the regular commencement
exercises took place.
The Senior Class, including the four
musical graduates, numbered twenty, and
in accordance with his custom, Dr.
Bridges presented each one with a
teacher's Bible.
He spoke of Ihe Bible's place In the
college, stating that the tiniest tot Jn the
primary department began with Bible
stories, and from that time to the senior
year the Bible occupied a most important
part in the course.
One of tne Dest Bible teachers in the
South devotes her entire time to this
course, and she magnifies her office to
such an extent that no matter what
studies girls omit, no one is allowed to
omit the Bible. He stated that the college
believed in the old-fashioned Bible
from cover to cover.
The literary address was delivered by
Rev. Chas. E. Raynal of Charlotte, who
took for his subject Henrik ibsen and
his place in this age.
As a literary production this address
was far above the average, and it is a
tribute to its power that the impression
produced by it grows with the passing
days. *
Nothing has been delivered in Charlotte
of a higher character, and it has
established Mr. Raynal's position as a
keen student of literature.

Bridge Chapel near Hnngchow. The
city gates close at dark, but in order to
meet the women that come in the
evening she prefers to sleep at the
chapel.
A successful mission worker says his
success is based on praying to God and
letting the people know. We believe
that much of the Interest and faithful
service of our good women can be
traced to their being informed on missions.
A West Virginia lady writes,
"Wo have finished the 'Call of Korea*
and can recommend it highly as interesting
and inspiring." Where a society can
not afford a Mission Study Library, the
Monthly Leahets should be used.
Our women missionaries, like our women
workers in the home land, are conspicuous

with which they serve in this great
