In addition to the Jail and Almshouse work, which has been carried on for a number of years, this year the as- sociation found a new field for Christian activity at the Old Women's Home. Each of these places is visited every Sunday by a committee of men who conduct religious services among the inmates. God is constantly blessing this work and the association has reason to feel that great benefits are being reaped both by the inmates and by those who minister to their spiritual needs. We have received much good counsel and inspiration from the delegates sent both to Northfield and to the Tri State Convention at Cumberland. Especially interesting features of our work are the Bible and Mission study classes. These meet every week, the members coming together for a careful study of God's word and its influence in foreign land. One of the grandest achievements of the Young Men's Christian Association during the past year, has been the sowing of seeds that have sprung up and developed into the Honor System Association. Although two distinct or- ganizations, the Christian Association is proud of the part that it has played in bringing this new system of exami- nations. In fact, the work of the association has been very satisfactory throughout the year. May its members continue to do their duty here on College Hill, and trusting in the help of God, go forth with the determination to make next year even a greater success. J2J
