BATTLE CREEK COLLEGE ITEMS.

By W. H. Littlejohn

THE CONFERENCE.

The General Conference has been a source of blessing to the College by giving the students an opportunity to become acquainted with the wants of the general field and the methods employed in carrying on our work. Besides, they have had the privilege of listening to many discourses, of both a practical and doctrinal nature, which have been well calculated to create confidence in the message that we are giving to the world, and to lead to increased consecration of heart. The labors of Sr. White especially, have been appreciated, and have been the means of leading a number to make a start to serve the Lord.

PRAYER MEETINGS.

Prayer and social meetings are held regularly by the students on Friday evenings and Sabbath afternoons. On Friday evenings the meeting is a general one, but on Sabbath afternoons the students are divided into three companies, all of which carry on meetings at the same hour in as many College recitation rooms. By adopting this method every student has an opportunity to participate actively in religious services under circumstances as favorable as possible.

PRESENTATIONS.

The College has recently received a donation of one thousand dollars from a Southern friend, to whom it is indebted for other favors. Elds. J. H. Waggoner, G. D. Ballou, and R. M. Kilgore have also contributed some fine specimens of petrified wood and other curious formations to the College cabinet. The petrified wood was brought by Elds. Waggoner and Ballou from Arizona, while the specimens presented by Eld. Kilgore were brought from Texas. W. H. LITTLEJOHN.
