Members of the C. L. S. C., in addressing the Plainfield office,
are requested to give complete addresses, town, county, state, and
also the class to which they belong. This will prevent the necessity
of referring to the records before the letters can be answered.
Secretaries of local circles in cities, in sending to the office,
should always give the street address of each member to whom a fee is
to be credited.

The filling up of the blank pages in Dr. Wilkinson’s Preparatory Greek
Course in English, while earnestly recommended, _is not required_.

By a mistake, the Little Classical Dictionary, published by J. B.
Putnam’s Sons, New York City, was announced at thirty cents, by mail.
The price is forty cents. Let all students take note of this.

Our friend, Miss Myrtie C. Hudson, from California, a graduate of the
Class of 1882, has entered Michigan University, at Ann Arbor. She
reports meetings of the students’ association. She says: “On Sunday
morning the hall was filled for the opening prayer-meeting, and there
was manifested a working Christian spirit which surprised and delighted
me. I believe one can grow in grace in such a school. The crucial test
of character will there be developed. The five o’clock quiet hour on
Sabbath afternoon is growing very dear to me. That beautiful suggestion
is one of the many things for which I can never thank you enough. If
the hours help all the members as they do me, they are no doubt a power
in the Circle. I am already looking forward to that time as the best in
all the week. A portion of the time I spend in preparing Bible readings
on themes suggested at Chautauqua, beginning with ‘God in Nature,’ with
Romans i: 19, 20 for the key. I shall always look lovingly back to the
weeks I spent at Chautauqua. They were wonderful weeks, and I lived
more in them than in as many years before.”

There is strong temptation to take substitutes for the regular
books. You have a great cyclopædia, and prefer to read articles on
the appointed subject rather than to take up the book required. Or,
you have some other history, or other scientific treatise. In order
to economize, I have allowed substitutes. Comparatively few of our
students have used them. It is much more pleasant for all members of
the C. L. S. C. to travel one way. The sympathy of the members is
increased by such unity. The reading of Green’s “Short History of the
English People,” and Merrivale’s “Rome,” bound together by very strong
cords the members of the Circle. While there may be other valuable
books, we think that the “required” books are the best, and we desire
our members as far as practicable to use them.
