...would be strange if with our large classes we could not find more good men than a college of fewer numbers. But the difficulties of getting those men to work are great. The captain can have only a limited acquaintance in his class, and must trust to the men to respond to his calls printed in the CRIMSON.

The congregation read responsively the 145th Psalm, which was followed by a prayer by Dr. George A. Gordon. Mr. D. M. Babcock, '87, then sang with great feeling "O Great Jehovah" from Mozart's Magic Flute. Dr. Gordon preached a short sermon on subjects suggested by last Thanksgiving Day.
