1917 Cedrus Yearbook

19 17 Young Women's Christian Association W HEN the Young Women's Christain Association is spoken of, our minds naturally revert to the thought of Christian girlhood with weekly meetings of devotion. The Young Women's Christian Association of Cedarville College, ever since it was organized in 1909, has been a help to the girls, spiritually and socially, and has opened up many new paths for them. Since the beginning of our organization we have prospered according as our interest has increased. The year 1916-17 has been one of growth in membership and interest. Fourteen new members have been enrolled this year. In November our organization sent fifteen dollars to the war stricken Armenians. In February a delegate was sent to the Student Volunteer Convention which was held at New Concord, Ohio. Our meetings which have been held every Wednesday morning have been very interesting. A splendid talk was given one morning by the Ohio-West Virginia field sec- retary, Miss Ward. She emphasized the fact that our life each day is a test of our religion. We trust that the interest already manifested will continue in the years to follow and that the time will come when all of the college girls will belong to the association. We hope that the influence that may be imprinted on the girls' characters will be an aid to them in the future and that our Y. W.C. A. may be a bond that will link the girls together and press them toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of Christ Jesus, for One smile can glorify a day, One word true hope impart; The least disciple need not say, There are no alms to give away, If love is in the heart.
