V t is-3, frlwfllfllllllllllltt' . , apartment uf Jlaisturp CLARA CAMPBELL Have you ever attended the history classes at La Sierra? If not, you have little of the enthusiasm and interest that prevails in the classes studying this subject under the instruction of Professor I. Robison. In our history work we not only master our text book, but we study current events, keeping in touch with all the topics of the day. We also have topical studies, learning how to do reference work. Did you ever stop to think what an important phase of school work history really cc-vers? If it were not for this study we would be little in advance of an ignorant people, for it is by comparing the events of the past that we are able, to a certain degree, to in- terpret the happenings of the future. History shows the people of this day and age just where they are living in the trend of this world's events. Through history we awake to the realization that we are surely living in the tarrying moments of this worlcl's existence. Divine prorphecy says that know- ledge will increase, and that time is certainly here. We also study in divine prophecy how the course of events of this world was marked out many ages ago, and how these prophecies have come to pass and are still being fulfilled. Thus our history department holds a very important place in the school curriculum, and we are made to realize that the events of this world, which we have long been study- ing, will soon come to a close. Our world is a college, events are our teachers, happiness is the graduating point, and character is the diploma C-od gives to man. TWENTY-SIX

Scientific research opens to the mind vast fields of thought and information, enabling us to see God in His created works. Ignorance may support skepticism by appealing to science: but instead of upholding skepticism true science contributes fresh evidence of the wisdom and power of Cod. Rightly understood, science and the written word agree, and each sheds light on the other. Together they lead us to Cod. by teaching us some of the wise and beneficent laws through which He works. -Counsels to Teachers, p. 426. Vvhen sitting in one of Miss Godfrey's classes, whether expounding the equations of Algebra, or reasoning out the theories of Geometry, we see the infinite wisdom of God in working out such laws that never contradict themselves, but are a striking example of the works of Him that changeth not. And when one stops to think that the millions of millions of stars whirling through the universe follow similar laws, which, should they for an instant fail. would prove dis-Q astrous to the universe. Truly in studying this we can see more clearly that the heavens declare the glory and wisdom of Cod. Or we may come down to the smaller things. Of man it is written, he is fearfully and wonderfully made. One can hardly understand this statement until the study of man's anatomy is taken up. And then we may study the life of the lower animals and see how God is giving life and breath to every creature. We can see how the simplest work of C-od is by far more complicated than the finest thing a human hand can make. Even the tiny leaf of some plant has written in it a message of the Creator. Thus we see that the study of science will draw us to C-od, and will more securely establish our faith in the God of Nature. And the study of science begun here. will be taken up in the new world revealing to us the infinite wisdom of God. TWENTY-FIVE

If not, our school offers a practical course in reading, writing and speaking these modern tongues. We are striving in our language classes to understand the basic prin- ciples of language that have been handed down to modern times through the Hebrew, Greek and Latin tongues. To those planning to become missionaries the knowledge of any foreign tongue will be of practical value, since the ability to speak one foreign language simplifies the mastery of others. Two o-r three days each week are given to the study of Steps to Christ translated into Spanish fcamino A Christo, and into French fvers jesusl. This is an inspiration to higher life as well as a means of obtaining a practical balance. An interesting phase of the Spanish class is the missionary visits which they make each week to Spanish speaking people. This is entertaining as well as instructive to those who plan to go as workers to Latin America. But there are those around us to whom we could carry our message if wer but possessed a knowledge of their native tongue, so let us take advantage of the opportunity to master the Spanish and French languages. Remember, when you are right you can afford to keep your temper, and when you are wrong you can't afford to lose it. Wo1'k is not man's punishment. It is his reward and his strength, his glory and his pleasure. TWENTY-SEVEN
