WORK FOR Y. W. BIBLE STUDY GROUPS FIXED Schedule Made for Lectures in Girl’s Houses. SIX TOPICS DECIDED ON “Study of Bible Has Claim on All,” Says Miss Perkins. : An outline of the work to Fjo taken up by the Bible study groups which have •been formed in the Y. W. C. A., and a discussion of the importance of such a Study and its value to college women were the topics discussed by Miss Mary Perkins, professor of rhetoric in the Uni versity and a member of the Y. AV. A. advisory hoard, at the regular meet ing of the Y. AV. Thursday afternoon. The Y. AV. C. A. has arranged a group of six meetings to take place in the women’s houses on the campus, and at the bungalow, beginning AVodnesday. Jan. 9. These groups will take up a Systematic study of the Bible in its rela tion to Christian fundamentals. The topics for the meetings have heen ar ranged as follows: I—“The Study of Nature and the Idea of God.” 2—“A Study of Evil and Self.” 3—“A Study of Christ.” 4—“A Study of Prayer.” 5 —“The Kingdom and Social Living.” 0 —“Immortality.” No outside preparation is required for this work, Miss Jerkins explained, but a list of books will be given on which those topics were based, and these oan ho studied at the library if desired. The at tendance to the meetings is not compul sory, but it is urged that those who arc vitally interested come. Tha Bible a Social Study. “The Study of the Bible lias a claim on us all as a social subject,’ ’said Miss Per kins, “and since religion is such a groat human factor, and an enormous institu tion it is up to us as college women to take some interest in it, and to hold opinions concerning it. “A state university,” according to Miss Perkins, is often called a godless Insti tution. There is no daily chapel, no sup port by any one denomination, and in its attempt to be inclusive of all denomina tions it seems as if it had no religion. Muny persons confuse religious opinions with religious faith. Before we come to college we have fixed ideas of religion along with our faith, and these ttH“ often torn away at; college, ami uprooted by new ideas, hut it is not the faith, as so many people say, which is lost lint the an intelligence.” “AVc should gain a broadness from lis tening to the ideas of others.” said Miss Perkins in emphasizing the value of these group discussions. “And a discus- j sion or religion should make us more tol erant. A great many like to have their ! opinions fixed along religions lines, hut the basis of religion should he thought an in telligonee.” CANADIAN UNIVERSITIES AIDED.! McGill University and the University of Toronto each received a million dol lars from the Rockefeller Foundation for the aid of medical education in t’aunda. J Balhousie University, at Halifax, ami the University of Alanitoha, AA’innipeg, each received half a million, and a quarter ■ million apiece went to the University of ,Albcrta, at Edmonton, and to the Uni versity of Montreal.
