SPIRITUAL Concern with the self paralleled with con- cern for others creates tension for the. student whose college experience is more than mere learning. Out of this tension comes growth of commitment to Christ and a striving toward ways of obedience to the great commission. Depth of spirituality can never be fully measured out- wardly, but the individual, never satisfied with himself, seeks for ways to serve Christ best. The Christian student is possessed by a purpose which is greater than that of any other. The prin- ciple of the greatest love is that which moves him, which gives him wholeness, and unifies his being. Thus, from the center of our individual . lives, and from the center of the college there comes a vital activity called Christian Service. This spiritual emphasis extends into every area of Grace life. The student's perspective of the Christian life broadens as he takes part in the chapel programs, prayer before classes, Bible conferences, and sportsmanship in athletics. These prepare our students for useful and ded- icated lives of Christian service. Thus, perspec- tive strikes a balance—the sort of balance we look for in Christian life and shall look for in the future.
