1917 Cedrus Yearbook

19 17 Young Men's Christian Association T HE Y. M.C. A. stands out among all of the other organizations of college life, as one whose social benefits and Christian training helps to mold the lives of all its members into the true service of Christ. Our association was organized in 1906. Since that time it has helped the young men of Cedarville College to live purer and more useful lives. Moreover it has influenced some to enlist in the Ministerial and.Missionary fields. Twoformer members,William Waide and Professor Lanning,have gone to the foreign fields as missionaries. Mr. Waide is in India. He was married last February to a lady missionary, who no doubt will be much help to him in his work. Mr. Lanning and his wife,also agraduate of Cedarville College,are doing a splendid work in China. The membership of our association has increased this year,and a deep interest seems to be manifested by each member. Each one tries to do his part by giving a brief talk or prayer in each meeting. Dr. Chesnut gave us a very practical and instructive address on the subject, "Unappreciated Service." Early in the first semester the Y. W.C. A. and Y. M.C. A. entertained the college students at the home of Mr. William Anderson. Our association was represented at the Student Volunteer Movement Con- vention held at Concord, Ohio, February end,3rd and 4th. On March 9th Robert Coleman, our president,went to the Y. W.C. A.state conference which was held at Columbus, Ohio. This gives a brief outline of our work done this year and our prayer for the years to follow is that the Lord will bless us and keep us that we may labor for the honor and glory of God. P. VV. D. 65
