C A. Cafeteria
Uvery student know that there is Ai
Young 'omon's Christian association
at Nebraska, but erhapa there are a
mvers.ty . . C, A. js furnishing a
source of iielp and inspiration to the
rural communities throughout the
state. Put the innTtd.ee of the asso
ciation is not confined to the v.tate of
Nebraska, for one of our own Nebrss-
j k fcradusles is carrying on the great
j itiu in u uf nee iiuo iort'iK" neias.
The icer.tral idea of the association
4s tliat of service jmd this idea works
itself out in a myriad of ways. The
association rooms in ihe Temple are
open to 11 University girls. They are
pleasant and oomfomble, a fine place
to oome when yon are tired or lone
some, for yon may be sure that yon
are welcome. At .the vesper seniees
which re "held every Tuesday at five
o'clock in the association rooms the
girl w ho is tired and iiscouraged will
find rest and inspiration.
In the Bible study -classes i.he girl
w ho is in doubt and -does not know
what to believe will tind strength for
her faith and will come to a richer and
deeper understanding of the great
help in the Book of Books. The mission
study -classes afford an opportunity i or
the girl who is inrerested 'to learn
more of the great Tit-ogress of Chris
tianity in the world .and through these
classes she may come to a clearer
realization of the meaning of world
citizenship. Through the Eight Week
Clubs and the training -classes for
campfire girls the University girl may
learn to be of -greater seniee to the
younger girls and to -carry a broadeT
vision to those who hrve not had the
opjortuniies that she has had. The
association suppers, with their usual
programs of impromptu "stunts." .and
the teas and other social gatherings
furnish an opportunity for a good
time to all University girls. So in
countless ways the association is of
seniee to University girls both spiritu
ally and socially.
It is not, however, v hat we as indi
viduals can get -out of any .organiza
tion that really counts for the most in
our. development, but it is what we can
put into that organization by our own
personal work. In the Young Women's
Christian Association there isc a place
for every girl in the University to find
the joy of giving herself in the seniee
of others and through this service to
come to a deeper understanding of
the -Christ life. Such, then, is the
spirit of the Young Women's Christian
Association, the spirit of service and
helpfulness toward all and through j
xnis spirit me at,mH;.L.u.. ..u
bring all women of the University into
closer touch with those ideals which
stand for the bigbest and best things
in life.

Two Thousand Volumes en Religion
and ReUtd Subjects Treat cf
All Creeds and Faiths.
A good library, like gold mine, or
a. -diamond tnine, 5s .t very mysterious
thing. No ce vor kno s wfcat treas
re may be hidden in its reoesses. The
card catalogue Indioates the name ol
hooks that may be found in the al
coves, but not many Mudcnis are fer
mitted to explore those regions, al
though the attendants are always
ready to secure wtiaiever hook or e
riodical the student may ask for. Our
University library has at least tlmo
thousand books on TvMgion and relat
ed subjects. These are found in stacks
$0, and 4. Resides religious
books here, nobody kr.ows how many
more reference hooks, historical hooks
and encyclopedias, religious f-eriodi-cals
in hound form might he found
containing important knowledge on
this subject. 'To he sure, many hooks
on religion like many hooks in science
and philosophy are oat of date and are
interesting only to n antiquarian.
Rut evidently some one in the depart
ment of literature and philosophy and
sociology has taken the tpains to make
careful selection of many standard
books on -Christianity, -church history,
ethics and christian missions, A few
of these hooks are here named with
the hoje that some one may become
interested in them. There are more
than a dozen hooks written and odited
by Charles Foster Kent of Yale, a very
helpful writer on the history of the old
and new testaments and the teachings
of Jesus. The seven volumes -containing
a full report of the World's Mis
sionary Conference held in Edinbor
ongh in 3910 are well worth inspection.
Many of Henry Churchill Kings books
on Ethics and Modern Problems are
here. If a student is investigating
New Testament Criticism, Theodor
Zahn, of Erlangen, will supply all the
necessary information about the New
Tesiament and bow it was written. On
the history of Christ ian Doctrine there
are many good books, but the sewn
volumes by Adolph 3-iarnuek of Ber
lin are the most -exhaustive and impor
tant to Tead. Among -other writers in
the -defense of the christian religion
are James Orr, A. B. Brwoe, and James
Denny, vigorous Scotchmen who writ
in a true Scottish style. And in the
history of 'the -cnurch of the first -century
Sir William M. Jir.msey of Aber
deen is wll represented in 3 be .alcove
of ihe library by his hooks, "St. Paul
,1ns. Traveler, and the .Roman Citizen,"
"Was Christ Born .at Be.ilehom ?"
"The Churc h in the Roman Empire be
fore J 70 A. I'l."
University pastors and many profes
sots in the University are always
Toady to help the students in matrers
touching their religious thinking, hut
often such counsel may not always be
available because oX lack of intimate
! acquaintance and a hesitation on the
j t f tb n KP,ak of carters
relating to the religious life. How
ever, books in a libra jy are alwj-ys
available, and the great thinkers who
have put their best thcught in their
books stand ever ready to give help t.r
those who just ;v the word. A
1
library book can be had for the asking 1
and whatever may be the special j
course of study it would broaden our
n.inds immensely if a few books cut- j
side the prescribed eoure were reaii
and mastered each year. j
