Then the hymn, "There's a Wideness in God's Mercy," telling of the Lord's mercy was sung. A litany of praise and appreciation "Using Our Gifts" was read respon sively."' The litany was followed by short prayers given by those who wished to thank God in this way. After this there was a brief but very capably handled discussion on "Using Our Privileges.." Some excellent points concerning the topic were mentioned. In using the privilege of having a home and parents, it was mentioned that we should do just as much in the way we can for our. parents as they do for us. In using the privilege of friendship, it was agreed that we should treat our friends as we want them to treat us. In other words apply the golden rule in dealing with our friends. After this the service of consecra tion was presented. Seven young peo ple participated in this service. They were: first speaker, Missv Harriet Goos carrying a potted flower which represented the privilege of enjoying beauty. Second speaker. Miss Ruth Westover, carrying a lighted candle which symbolized the privilege of worshipping. The third speaker.
