Steele At the beginning of the school year the ministerial students of the college organized the Monks Club for the dual purpose of doing social work and promoting closer contacts for the embryo ministers. The chief activity of the club was to conduct services at churches in near-by communities when asked to do so. During the first semester regular meetings were held each week to discuss various prob- lems and plans for the club. During the second semester the club held services in many of the surrounding towns, including Dayton, Xenia, London, Columbus, Plattsburg, Carlisle, and Selma. The club conducted a number of services at the local churches, and held special services at other churches in connection with evangelistic meetings, Easter programs, and other similar occasions. In the final meeting for this year, the Club joined with the Girls' Glee Club in presenting a program at the First Presbyterian Church, Xenia. At all of these services a complete worship program was presented featuring three speakers and special music. Upon several occasions the club was assisted by Mrs. Work and members of the music department of the college. Next year the Monks' Club will continue with its work, as all but one of the members will be back. It is hoped that the organization may enlarge its membership and thus increase its scope of service next year. Membership is open to any student who wishes to prepare himself for any type of social service, or who is interested in the Gospel ministry. Page Forty-one
