It Is well for overy pastor to keep in
elose touch with every one of his young
people who nre starting away to school
and college this fall. Let him not only
know their nddresses so ns to correspond
with them, but let him write, to tho Pres
byterian university pastor, or, where
thero Is none, to the eollege president or
local pastor, speaking of eaoh student
and making suggestions aa to the, forms
at Christian work In whtch they might
he enlisted. For lack of this there is
sometimes a sad Intermission of Chris
