Class Prophecy A S the smoke of the incense rises before me a strange spell falls upon my mind. It is as if the present is no more and the future is the present. Strange shapes and places rise before my vision. I am in a large city where there is much traffic. I find myself in an office that is the headquarters of our work in Western Washington. A face rises out of the haze of the future. It is the face of Hylda Green who is employed there as a stenographer. I am carried on still farther into the future. I see an academy known as the Western Washington Academy. Here again is IVIiss Green as head of the English department. The cloud darkens. Now another figure presents itself. I recognize it as Harry Ross. He appears to be prosperous. There are many persons in his employ. I overhear a conversation and discover that he is in charge of a large sanitarium in central Africa. I seem to be swiftly moving. I find that I have arrived at Washington Missionary College and upon entering the class rooms, I discover that Erling Lund is there giving instruction in languages. 1 hear him say that he has just been transferred to some school in the Scandinavian countries, where he will head the English department. I travel on. I have seen some of this same territory before. Yes, now I remember, I saw it as I came to a sanitarium in central Africa. There is a great crowd gathered there at that village. I must get a clearer view. Yes, there it is. I see Harold Olson dressed in white and standing in the midst of a large assembly of natives. He is telling them of his resolution to meet the Saviour and how he wants them to be ready also. I am passing over a vast expanse of water; it is sultry, there is but little wind, and a storm is brewing. I am brought to a group of buildings in the mountains. I see from the dress and appearance of the people that I am in India. A large medical school is before me. I see Esther Sanford, who is superintendent of nurses. Associated with her is another member of the class of 30. No one would think that our Alaskan representa¬ tive, Sally Ann, would be way off down in India-but, here she is, matron of the school. Again I cross the water. I am traveling toward the rising sun. I am carried to Walla Walla College where I find that the ladies are just having morning worship. Upon inquiry I find that Miss Vernice Meyer is Dean of Women. Going to the administration building, I find Amy Jacobsen as registrar and associate Spanish teacher. She is working with Professor Aplington. Miss Jacobsen so far is the only member of our class who is unmarried. I am carried to the land of the pyramids. In a treatment room in the city of Cairo, I recognize the one in charge to be Doctor Celia Clark. She and her husband, a graduate from Loma Linda, are in charge of our work in that place. Working with them I find Emily Morgan. My memory takes me back to the work of Ruth Hand, who is married and living in China. She is engaged in active work there as a nurse. I am informed informed that Agnes Berge is operating a treatment room in Peking. I cross the waters and high mountains to a tropical region, where the rivers are large and sluggish and the natives are given to witchcraft. Working in their midst is Jean Brown and her husband. She is a graduate nurse and is of great assistance to him in his work. I am again carried to the Western Wash ington Academy and find that Miss Bessie Crow is the present business manager and the instructor in bookkeeping. In a large broadcasting station Austin Butler is a member of the regular staff of musicians. I hear that he and May Libby are to conduct the music for a large series of meetings, which Evangelist Ray Badgley is to hold in the principal cities of the East. I am carried to the northland. I see the mission launch which Elder Wood con¬ structed. On board is Lewis Larson, who, having become famous as a speaker, is going into the Alaskan territory to take charge of a station. I see in his company the president of the Class of ’30, Ted Davis. From their discussion I gather that he is one of the General Conference M. V. Secretaries. The smoke of the future rises. The winds of the past blow it away. I find that we are now in the present. I pray that the will of our Heavenly Father be done with regards to the future of each and every member of this class of 1 930. Lewis J. Larson, Jr. [ 19 ]
