Union College

THE Lord has been very near to our school during the past year. It has been one of the best school years through which I have ever passed. There has been a cordial, earnest spirit of work on the part of all the students, and this spirit has led to a consecration of purpose for service in the cause of God. There have been held two weeks of prayer,—one at the regular week of prayer before the holidays, and the other during the month of April. In both these seasons the Lord sent a spirit of conviction into the hearts of large numbers of our students. Wrongs were confessed, and an earnest effort made to thoroughly prepare for more efficient Christian service.

Twenty-two of the fifty receiving diplomas complete the college course. Of the entire graduating class twelve or more plan to enter the ministry. About seventy-five students will sell denominational publications during the vacation. About one hundred and twenty-five will engage in the various branches of our denominational work.

The future of Union College looks very encouraging. Prof. H. A. Morrison, the new president, is a man of long experience in school work, and is well able to carry forward the work of the school and to lift all its standards of effort on to high planes. There is prospect of a large attendance the coming year. F. G.
