Birtliplace of V jlsioml i CAME to Auburn Academy on a hazy August day. The campus and the immediate vicinity impressed me with their beauty. I looked toward the mountain, but the fleecy clouds filled in between. I had been told that I could see the snow-clad Olympics from the school, but they, too, were hiding behind the summer haze. Then came refreshing rain; the clouds cleared away; haze and smoke were washed away; our campus became the birthplace of a wonderful vision. There stood the mountain in its majestic subli¬ mity—a monument to the power and majesty of the Creator. The Green River valley lay like a carpet of peace below Inspiration Point, and the snow-tipped Olympics, marching north in single file, made distance seem incredibly short. Our school is a birthplace of vision. Young people come here— ofttimes because their parents have a vision and a hope; ofttimes because a friend has caught a vision of the world’s need and urges them on; ofttimes they themselves have already glimpsed the “Val¬ ley of Vision.” Around them all is the cloudy haze of doubt. Then comes refreshing rain; during class instruction, chapel exercises, worship, prayer bands, Friday evening devotional meet¬ ing or during the fall or spring Weeks of Prayer come showers of blessings, “portions of the latter rain,” and the haze of doubt dis¬ appears. A vision is born and we lift up our eyes and see the King of Kings calling us; we see the world’s need; the fields white for harvest. May our school continue to be the birthplace of Vision. A. E.
