NLY a few months have passed since the Day of Prayer for Colleges. It is now the last of April, but a wonderful transformation has taken place in college and town. The very atmosphere seems to be different. Instead of lethargy there is life and spiritual activity. Nevertheless it is a critical period. The converts were born amid active and powerful scenes. Now that the old routine life is about to begin again, there is danger. It is said that if a man starts as an athlete, he must continue to be one, or his system will rebel. By his early efforts in this direction he has created a demand in his body that must be satisfied, or he will suffer, and probably fill an early grave. This does not argue against exercise in youth, but rather in favor of its wise continuance all through life. The young converts were athletes, spiritually. In the routine life of college there was great danger that they would die for want of exercise. Thousands of Christians have thus died, and many are constantly passing away.
