Long after they have ceased to reminisce upon the exciting afternoon games and evenings of recreation or the stunning problems in mathematics and baffling exercises in Englsh, the hauntng mists of tune from the college choir and the venerable, inspiring, and satisfying word in due season will be wafted down memory's lane like a whisper of love, reminding them that the journey is almost done. The college church seeks to train the members to be 'tworkers together with God, by taking an active part in all the annual campaigns, and make their goal a harvest of souls withal.
