There have been held this summer, in every section of America, great meetings of the stu lents of the land, practically every college and university being repre lented by delegates chosen by the stu 9ents themselves. The men's and women's conferences ire held usually, in the same place, out at different times. The principal centers are Lake Geneva, Wis.: North- Held. Mass.; Eaglesmere, Pa.; Black Mountain. N. C.'; Estes Park, Col. The iverage attendance has been perhaps Ive hundred. At Lake Geneva, which is typical, there were 653 students, from 105 (ducatlonal institutions, representing rore than twenty denominations and t dozen nationalities. The Latin- American delegation numbered 46, the Chinese 38 and the Japanese 18. All that the conventional concep tion of a religious meeting is, these conferences are not. Long-faced piety s-ould be thrown Into the lake were it to appear. Self-conscious dignltv Is lupplanted by noisy youths in college iweaters or athletic shirts. The din ing halls ring with rival college yells sntll one cannot hear his neighbor s conversation. From the day's' begin CASTORIA For Infants and Children In Use For Over 30 Years Always bears - FRIDAY EVENING, HAKRISBTTRG TELEGRAPH JULY 16, 1915 nlng, by the bell at 6 o'clock, until Its close, by 'taps" from the bugle at ten, one may hear the ebullient col lege men singing, as a solo or chorus, the Missouri song. "The mule stood around with his foot on the ground." Instant in laughter and applause, loving platform sallies and quips, keen for the afternoons devoted to athletics and play, prone to skylarking, these young men nevertheless are deeply re ligious. Not only In the early morn ing, but also throughout the day, one may see boys off amid the trees, in sequestered spots, engaged in their devotions. Practically the whole body are active Christians, engaged In the religious leadership of their colleges. Nearly a third of those at Lake Ge neva were expecting to enter the min- I s , ry .' the mts sion field, or the Young Men s Christian Association secretary ship. A sure cure for religious pessimism Is contact with these wholesome, sunny, efficient students to whom re ligious ideals and service are the su preme thin K In Ufe. The country is not going to the bow-bows so long as such a large percentage of its college graduates, men and women, are pri marily concerned with altruistic and patriotic purposes. To hundreds of students these sum mer conference experiences are epochal, because at them their choice of a life work Is made. All the forces of these unusual meetings converge to this Point The daily regimo in cludes Bible classes, mission study classes, vocational classes, a twilight, open-air service called the "life work meeting," and platform meetings. The afternoons are devoted to rec reation, except for the personal inter views with the hundred or more lead ers Who are present at each confer ence for that express purpose. Bish ops, ministers, secretaries, professors and laymen, give their time voluntar ily to this work of counselling with the students In heart-to-heart conver sations. Each of tha leaders has an appointment list, like a dentist or a doctor, and practically every student seeks this direct, personal counsel for himself. What to do as a life work Is the student's burning question, and these conferences are avowedly a time of decision. The aim is to provide expert advice for the men, regardless of what their choice of calling. Naturally, , with the religious sentiment stimu lated as it is, there are many recruits made at these conferences for the min istry, the mission field, association , work and social service. No.other meetings, even thoygh pri marily designed to promote Interna tionalism, exert quite the influence to this end that Is exercised by the sum mer conferences of college men. Stress Is laid upon the world crisis and the claims of the foreign fleld by the plat form speakers who Include the same men at most of the conferences, such as John R. Mott, "Dad" Elliott, George Sherwood Eddy. Fred B. Smith, Ray mond Robins, Bishop McDowell, Dr. Ozora Davlrl Dr. John Timothy Stone and Dean worth. Chiefly, tnough, the presence of the foreign students lends the color of worldlsm to the conferences. Chinese, Japanese, Indian and Latin-American students fraternize on friendly terms with the other college men. Since the foreigners, being students, are already accustomed to college slang and col lege ways the following Is easy and natural. This familiarity, and the mes sages of the Christian nonAmerlcans, powerfully stimulate the cosmopolitan spirit, to the great advantage of for eign missions. The delegates, no mat ter how provincial when they arrive, acquire the world view. These summer conferences are really the culmination and climax of the year's work of the Young Men's Christian Association and the denomi nations among college students. There are 750 student Y. M. C. A.'s in North America, with 75,000 members, and 188 secretaries, together with thirty "student pastors." Many of the lead ing men In college are association leaders, and sweaters bearing the let ters which signify athletic achieve ment are common at the conferences. One husky football captain, who had also been a baseball and basketball fiend, said at a testimony meeting. "Fellows, I've already dirtied three uniforms: now I'm going back to dirty a fourth uniform for Christ.' Which was his way of saying that he was going to get into the game of religion up to the limit. That typifies the out come of these conferences In the case of most of the students.
