In the publication of this book, the product of many hours of earnest effort, we have endeavored : To chronicle, for future moments of reminiscent reflection, a simple, truthful yet impressive portrayal of the principal events of the year ; To inculcate on the hearts of those who are to follow, a more ardent affection for our beloved Alma Mater ; To arouse in those who have gone forth a stronger determination to live such lives of right- eousness and repute as will bring honor to her name; And to contribute, in some small measure, to the dissemination of that buoyant spirit of unity and common fellowship which will ever continue to make possible A GREATER OLIVET. == NINETEEN TWENTY WO_=== ill!

This energizing influence must be central- ized in some form of representative authority. In Olivet University such authority is vested in our board of trustees ; consequently that body is largely responsible for the past development and the present attainment of the school. Suc- cessful men from various walks of life make up its per- sonnel : business men, professional men, evangelists, pastors, and farmers are represented. These men of clear vision, ripe judgment, and broad experience, are also men of sound principle and intense spirituality. For many years the welfare of Olivet University has been the object of deepest concern to these trustees. The general policy of the school is largely the result of their careful supervision and persistent effort. They have tire- lessly planned and worked for the best interests of the institution. Many times they have faced difficulties which would have defeated men of less wisdom and courage. New problems of administration and finance have constantly confronted them ; new situations have faced them at every turn ; but the problems have been solved and the situations have been met with patience, wisdom, and fortitude. We are fortunate in having as an executive board these men of religious zeal, business ability, and sound judgment. Such men have been, and always will be, indispensable to the welfare and the advancement of our school. To them we owe a debt which can be repaid only by the realization of their plans for the University. Harold W. Stoke, ' 24. NINETEEN TWENTY-TWO Twenty-five THE AURORA CatcK nrKe Vision J. E. L. Moore, A.M., D.D., President To the Trustees, Faculty, and Students of Olivet University, Greetings : THE past, though great and grand, is not sufficient. The present, no matter how full of blessings, will not suffice. Without a future and a vision, people and causes perish. For the Almighty saith, Where there is no vision the people perish. The past of all history is scarred by struggles and disappointments. Battlefields and monuments are ever in sight on the landscape of the past. But the future rests not in the dust. To view it our gaze ascends to the everlasting hills, from whence cometh our help and our westering gaze discerns clouds silver-lined, crimson-bordered, rainbow-kissed; and the roseate hues of hope help us to hail a fairer, brighter, better day. So it was when God called us to the leadership of Olivet Uni- versity. Forgetting the things that were behind and reaching forth to those things which were before, we pressed forward to the work of our high calling, catching a vision of what Olivet should be, and could be. We saw an enlarged, yea, a doubled enrollment, strengthened and enlarged departments, augmented library facilities; a sufficient en- dowment; a spiritual atmosphere made heavenly by religious fervor, holy enthusiasm, divine unction, notes of praise and shouts of victory ; finally, we saw concord and harmony, which would unite the forces of righteousness and put them in line to work and win. We feel that God has crowned our labors together with a good measure of success. Feeling a call to a different field of labor, we are leaving the scholastic path, which has grown very dear to us on account of the happy associations with you and the beautiful spirit of co-operation that has existed among us. Our work must vary, but never our ideals, our vision ! We shall, by God ' s grace, ever look above the gross actualities of ordinary achievement, and fixing our gaze on Him who gives us our existence, we expect to go forward changing seeming calamities into glorious opportunities and human impossibilities into divine realities, by faith in the God who delighteth in doing wonders. Our parting desire is that our successor may catch a greater vision for Olivet, and that Trustees, Faculty, Students, Patrons, and Constituency may glimpse, and, by God ' s help, make possible a glorious future as visioned by her leaders. May God enable you to catch the vision ! NINETEEN TWENTY-TWO Tiiicriiy-Hix THE AURORA President, J. E. L. Moore NINETEEN TWENTY-TWO Twenty-seven THE AURORA Professor N. W. Sanford T ' Dean ' RUE nobility often springs from a humble origin, since noble is as noble does, and greatness is merely goodness. The story of the early life of our Dean, Professor N. W. Sanford, evidences an earnest struggle in the face of an environ- ment half indifferent and half in op- position to his educational advance- ment. Each year he gladly improved the meager opportunities of a two months school term. At the age of eighteen he began his professional career as the teacher of a country school. Three years later he came in touch with the holiness people and received the blessing of Entire Sanctification. He was then directed to Peniel College, where he continued his education. From then until now, his has been a dual progress in both studying and teaching. He has re- ceived consecutively the Bachelor degrees of Commercial Science, Liberal Arts, Science, and Divinity and has served in educational and administra- tive capacities as the principal of several Seminaries and as the head of various departments and, later as the President, of Peniel College. In the spring of 1921 he received his Master ' s degree from the State University of Arkansas. Thus, after twenty-three years of experience in both public and private schools Professor Sanford came to us last fall as Dean, Registrar, and head of the department of Philosophy and Psychology. As Dean he has won the reverence and respect of the students. In discipline he has been quick to perceive, and slow to act, yet decisive and determined to carry out his convictions. Being very approachable, and open to suggestion, he is ever willing to be interrupted by anyone seeking advice and counsel. As a man he is kindly, cheerful and optimistic. He is characteristically fond of flowers. As an affectionate husband and father, he has set before us a laudable example of domestic happiness. His life of devotion and piety is patterned after that of Christ and is open to the leadings of the Holy Ghost rather than subject to a dogmatic creed or subservient to the will of the masses. As he has mingled with us in the classroom and on the campus, he has become one of our number by sharing our interests and participating in our pleasures. Thus he has won in the hearts of those to whom he is ministering, a place of high esteem and lasting good will. As no true work since the world began was ever wasted, so no true life since the uurrld, began has ever failed. — Emerson. NINETICEN TWENTY-TWO ■MHwMHHB HIIMHiHHB Twfnty-eif h.t THE AURORA Mrs. MartKa E. Odell Matron THE men and women in history who have reached the pinnacle of success rightfully receive honor; yet far above these ranks the person in whose breast burns that un- selfish love for others which is the fundamental principle of true minis- try. Our matron, Mrs. Odell, has manifested among us the spirit of Christ, He who came not to be ministered unto, but to minister. For years before Mrs. Odell came to Olivet, she served as a deaconess in the slums of our large cities, taking the Light of the World to those sitting in the darkness of misery and sin. But when, in the fall of 1918, she came to be our Mother , her service of love had only just begun. Upon her shoulders have rolled our burdens. Our health, our spiritual welfare, and our happiness, — all have become her interests. When we have especial cause to be joyful, she rejoices with us; when we are in trouble or sorrow, she is our unfailing source of sympathy and comfort ; when we are in perplexity, she is a kind and wise counsellor. She has lived the past four years for us. No matter how she feels, she is always ready, from early morning until late at night, to answer our queries, advise with us, or pray for us. Her love and sacrifice we cannot repay, but her Christian principles and indomitable faith, built into strong, true manhood and womanhood, shall be her reward. The sun shall never set on the fruit of her efforts. She openeth her mouth ivith tvisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness. Her children arise up, and call her blessed. NINETEEN TWENTY-TWO Twenty-nine THE AURORA R. C. Roushe}) Business Manager THERE are some positions which require a super amount of grit and grace. Such a position is that of Business Manager of a small sectarian institution of learning. For three years Bro. R. C. Roushey has held this position in Olivet University. Before coming here he was, for a number of years, connected with Swift and Co., of Chicago. During that time, he was an active member of the First Church of the Nazarene, where he held an important position on the Board of Trustees. Since coming to Olivet, Bro. Roushey has wisely met every crisis, and, with the aid of his efficient assistants. Miss Jenks and Miss Eggleston, has carefully and faithfully carried on the regular business management of the Univer- sity. His pleasant smile, kindness, and courtesy during his years here, are deeply appreciated by the students and the constituency. As he leaves us, he takes with him our highest esteem, and our sincere wishes for his welfare. NINKTKKN TWKNTY-TWO Thirty THE AURORA ReO. R. L. Wisler Pastor University Church Our Pastor ' s Message students of Olivet University :- IT HAS indeed been a blessed privilege to be associated with you during the past year. The optimistic spirit, youthful vigor, and generous con- duct which have prevailed among you, and your earnest devotion to our Lord Jesus, have been a constant source of inspiration and encouragement. Your interests, material, intellectual, and spiritual, have been my interests, — the constant burden of my prayers. I, ever concerned with your welfare, have endeavored to follow the Master ' s example of true christian service. Seniors, as you go from us to engage in the various callings of life, our prayers for your welfare and our earnest hopes for your success will follow you. Wherever you may be we shall expect you to be efficient factors in the great work of serving your fellow-men. Remember that steadfast faith in God and obedience to Him will be your greatest asset in the achievement of this end. Take Jesus with you always. He will be a very present help in trouble. Undergraduates, we trust that you will return next year, bringing with you others who also desire to prepare for life ' s work. That prepara- tion cannot be too thorough. The temptation to become impatient and to rush out into life ' s activities without the needed preparation, comes toevery- one, but to yield to it is disastrous. There is but one most desirable time to secure an education ; when that opportune time has passed, it will never return. A subsequent attempt usually produces only a makeshift, and results in one ' s going through life crippled and hampered, occupying a place among men far below that to which he might otherwise have attained. In view of these facts, we hope that you will remain with us until you have secured the best possible physical, mental, and spiritual training. Then you can go forth to fight the good fight of faith, loyally serving Christ and humanity, until your life ' s work is finished. May great grace be upon all. Rev. R. L. Wisler. NINETEEN TWENTY-TWO Thirty-one r THE AURORA Our Appreciation WITHIN the breast of each student of Olivet University burns a flame of love and appreciation for our faculty, a flame which will never be extinguished. When flrst we met, a spark was kindled in our hearts by their spirit of sacrifice and service. Their fidelity throughout the year has fanned that spark into a flame, which will ever burn brighter as long as memory lasts. Our president. Dr. Moore, has found it necessary to be on the field much of the time. In his absence our beloved Dean Sanford has very ably directed the faculty and the student body. We have found him to be a broad-minded man of high ideals and christian character. Our matron, Mrs. Odell, will always hold a place dear in our memory. Truly we have a most courageous faculty. Even amid the most trying difficulties, when the financial crisis was most acute and their sacrifice greatest, they, without murmuring or complaining, daily entered their class rooms with a spirit of cheer which has left a lasting impression on the students. Nought but the love of God in their hearts could have made them so courageous and so loyal. We firmly believe that the members of our faculty have had the wel- fare of each individual student at heart ; that they have endeavored to instill into the minds of our young people those principles of right which will form the foundation of success in their future lives ; and, that they have expended their unstinted efforts for the development of well-rounded christian character. Their task of training young men and women for life has been a tremendous one, and has been accomplished only by con- secrated, efficient service. The world will little note, nor long remember, what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. As the men of the blue fought for and made possible the preservation of the union, so our faculty have contended zealously for the preservation of Olivet. To them we owe an immeasurable debt of gratitude. May their labor of love and heroic service be abundantly rewarded by All the rich bounties of Heaven ! , AiLENE Gilbert, ' 25 nink.teen TWKNTY-TWO Thirl jj-l 11)0 THE AURORA FACULTY NINETEEN TWENTY-TWO =r Thirty-three THE AURORA T.

Such an one is our beloved friend and advisor, Professor Greer. Throughout our college life he has proved a constant and kind friend, a never-failing source of help and encourage- ment. His quiet walk of faithfulness, constancy, and humble service has left its imprint on our lives, and as we go from the halls of our Alma Mater into the broader school of life, his influence shall live on in us.

The first I saw was Elsie, Benignly darning socks. By her side sat the village deacon, Kind-faced, with silver locks. For years they had worked together In the whitened homeland field. And the love and trust of the village folk Their earnest work had sealed. Methinks I saw our Lowell, Now high on the ladder of fame, For he held the Chair of Letters Last graced by his namesake ' s name. But alas! h ' is life seemed lonely. For, due to lack of time, He had failed to choose a companion To aid him in his climb. Before me paced a gray haired man Whose short but hasty stride. Whose square-cut face and spectacles I thot I knew, and cried, Indeed, it ' s he! But can it be, Is cur Garrison living yet? Why, yes, he calmly answered me, I ' m President of Olivet! I thot the scene was shifted I seemed under India ' s sky Near a pretty thatch-roofed cottage While children played nearby. But soon the least was injured, And ran to tell his woes. But when the doer was opened. There stood my classmate. Rose. Again the scene was shifted, This time to America ' s shore. I walked me down a city street, And paused at a large church door. The plain announcement on the board Just set my nerves atingle. It said Come Out to Service, — Pastor, — Joseph Ingle.

SCHWARTZ Born May 4, 1002 Died February 28, 1922 A precious one from us has gone, A voice we loved is stilled. Lest We Forget ' The school year at Olivet University has been shadowed by the death of one of its most able students, Mr. Garald H. Schwartz. It was an unusually sad event from the fact that it was the first incident of its kind in the history of the institution. In this respect it was a severe shock to the student body as well as to the Administration. Mr. Schwartz was an active member of the University. He participated freely in all the various activities of the school. He entered heartily into those things which would develop strong Christian character. Mr. Schwartz possessed an amiable disposition and a pleasing personality. The force of his own merit won his way. No one ' s concern, no one ' s opinions, and no one ' s pleasures, were beneath him. He was unassuming and unpretending, continually seeking the good of others. As a friend, classmate, and roommate, Mr. Schwartz proved himself true in every respect. In fact, it was in these various capacities that his character shone forth with unfaded luster. His ideals were of the highest type, and he strove only for the best and most noble things in life. The foundation of his sturdy character was laid in a definite Christian experience, which he maintained undiminished to the end of his brief career. The student body feels the loss of a true and devoted friend; the school, of an ardent industrious student. His stay with us, although brief, was long enough to prove th(! inestimable value of his worth. While he has gone befoi ' e, to a more abiding city. the influence ' of his life, as the fragrance of a budding fiower, continues to remain among us, an inspiration to his friends, a hcncdiclion to the school and a blessing to the world. — Ryi-vkstior T.

NINETEEN TWENTY-TWO Sixty-three THE AURORA 1 I Helen Vandemark Nurse OLIVET University Hospital has indeed proved itself a most valuable asset to the school, this year. About fifty students have been cared for During such critical times as the late scarlet-fever epidemic, several were confined to the hospital from six to eight weeks. Besides this work, a first-aid department has cared for all minor accident and slight illriGSSGS. The nurses have labored under great difficulties but, with the help of God, have accomplished what was impossible for human strength, for, with God all things are possible. Experience has proved that Olivet needs a more fully-equipped, mod- ern hospital. That would enable her, not o nly, to care for her students, but also, to train her missionaries that they may go forth to battle against the powers of darkness in heathen lands, and to minister unto the physical as well as the spiritual. Our hospital is on fire for God, and is holding high the white banner of Holiness. Since its opening, the blessing of God has been upon it at all times. With only two exceptions, patients who were in need of spiritual help have prayed through to victory. Some were saved, others were sanctified, and still others have felt the healing touch of the Saviour ' s nail- pierced hands. Jesus Christ, the Great Physician is at the head of this hospital. He wonderfully blesses the nurses and directs them in their work. The University Hospital Sirl y- j ' liir NINKTKKN TWKNTY-TWO Sixty-five T- THE AURORA Li TKeolog}) Seniors CHARLES M.

Colors: Red and White Flower: Red and White Roses Mrs. E. M. Trail FACULTY ADVISER Mrs. Emma Trail, Sponser of the Bible Senior Class of 1922, came to our school nine years ago. At that time she acted in the capacity of assistant matron for two years. The activity of school life was too strenuous for her health so she took up again her life ' s work, that of a consecrated deaconess, for the first church of the Nazarene at Chicago. After two years she returned to Olivet University to serve as monitor of the Study Hall. Later the Lord placed the orphanage work upon her heart, and as she is a great lover of children, she went to Peniel, Texas, as matron of the Nazarene Orphanage. Last fall she returned to Olivet and took up her work again as monitor of the Study Hall. Mrs. Trail has been a great blessing to the school. She has the burden for the salvation of the student body upon her heart, and is always pleading with the backslidden to come back to God. Her kind words and loving smiles scatter sunshine and encouragement among those with whom she comes in contact. We as a class and as a student body shall never forget Mother Trail ' s godly life and shall always ap- preciate her prayers and godly advice. Class History The history of the Bible Senior class of 1922 began in early September, 1922. At that time a number of young people, representing five different states, enrolled in the English Theological course of Olivet University. Others joined them later, and when the class was organized in 1922 there were sixteen eligible for graduation. Each mem- ber of the class was moved by a powerful impulse to prepare for more efficient work as pastor, evangelist, or missionary. No task ass igned to the class was beneath its dignity, or above its ambition. With equal interest and zest these students mastered Benny ' s Theological Compend, pored over Ralston ' s Elements of Divinity, defined verbs and nouns in room six, and wrestled with English in the higher branches. They made quick work of all these minor difficulties, however, and were soon eagerly inquiring, What ' s next? Although some less ambitious students were dismayed when they faced Psychology and Miley ' s Theology, the Bible Seniors were not in the least perturbed, nor was their progress stayed. They marched boldly on to victory, and have finished their course in triumph. The members of the faculty have been especially kind and considerate toward the class. They have returned all manuscripts with the exception of a few of the least valuable ones which it is supposed they have kept for reference. With many surmises concerning the feelings, moods, and mental states of graduates, che members of the class of ' 22 participated in previous receptions given in honor of Bible Seniors. They are convinced, however, that the reality far surpasses all anticipa- tion. No member of the class has ever expressed regret that he enrolled as a student at Olivet. The months spent here have been pleasant ones and have been of inestimable value in preparing us for the future. Few classes have graduated from Olivet Univer- sity with brighter prospects than does the class of ' 22. The members of the class have before them a world of opportunities and possibilities. With their natural abilities and the training Ihey have received, and with the hel)) and power of an indwelling Holy Chost, they should lie able to accomplish much for the Kingdom of Cod. They can and will do it. NINKTHUN TWENTY-TWO S ;venly THE AURORA As We Are FAVORITE OCCUPATIONS Keeping busy — J. C. Stevens Blushing — Lloyd Lynn Teasing — Frank Wasson Keeping quiet — 0. C.

This fact is partially responsible for the missionary spirit and zeal prevalent in Olivet University. Although the mis- sionary enterprise has suffered greatly from the general depression that is common everywhere, we can still truthfully say that Olivet is endowed with an intense mis- sionary spirit. The study of missions this year was especially interesting and instructive. Prof. Galloway conducted a class which made a study of all the mission fields, especially those where our own missionaries are laboring. Particular attention was given to the nesd and to the conditions of the foreign fields, also to the methods which have been tried and have proved most successful in each field. The class work was supplemented by the Sunday afternoon missionary meetings. Programs are given at these meetings consisting of mission study, prayer and exhorta- tion. The students are kept constantly in touch with the work by visits and talks from returned missionaries. They also receive many personal letters from workers in the various fields. These prove to be especially interesting, instructive and inspiring. Another source of testimony to the missionary spirit of the school is evident in the prayer bands. Students who have been called to Africa, China and India have organized themselves into mission bands, who meet and intercede for God ' s blessings upon the different mission stations. An International Prayer Band has also been organized. But this is not all. The students are doing their best in the way of financial sup- port. Mite boxes are used at the dining tables to collect small donations from those who wish to contribute. A Bible woman in Japan is bt-ing supported by this system. An Indian-head penny offering is taken each Saturday in the chapel services and the proceeds are used for the evangelizing of the Indians of North, South and Central America. Thus it is that the vision of the whitened fields is constantly kept before (,h( ' students. - ' NINKTKKN TWENTY-TWO .ScDcjily liiu) THE AURORA Bible Undergraduates DuNLAP Fretz Hannah Abrams Grose Craddock Holmes Cooper Bradbury Eggleston Meece Johnson Van Ramshorst Edwards Frank Stevens Gatecliffe King Green Young Smith Urshal Vaughn Brown Morgan OFFICERS Anton J.

It is not only a means by which we may glorify Him, but also one by which our lives may be made brighter and sweeter. The achieve- ments of the human voice thrill our hearts and inspire us to nobler things ; with the various instruments we give vent to our feelings in offering our praises heavenward. The scriptures refer to many instruments that were used to praise the Lord, including the harp of ten strings. The evolution of the violin and cello of to-day, together with the skill of our master- makers, has made it possible for us to have the very best means of develop- ing our gifts. The violin has become, educationally, one of the greatest of all stringed instruments. Comparing the attainments of today with those of the past, one can hardly realize the progress that has been made. The violin has been rightly named The King of the Strings . There is no other instru- ment which can take its place either as a solo or an orchestral instrument. The music of the violin and harp in this present world lifts us to the loftiest heights, awakens our hearts to the beautiful things of life, and inspires us to greater devotion to God. But how wonderful it will be when we shall hear the angels praising Him with an eternal song! Music is the art of the prophets and the only art that ca)i calm the agitations of the soul. It is one of the most mag- nificent and delightful presents God has given us. — Martin Luther Prof. J. R. Cain.

THE AURORA Editorial WE TRUST that the plan of organization which we have endeavored to carry out in The Aurora of 1922 may meet with the approval of our readers. Any publication of a nature similar to that of The AURORA must, of necessity, supply a diversity of requirements and serve in a variety of capacities. Administration, student-body, constituency — each must be satisfied and should be pleased. To accomplish this has been our task. We feel sure that all will agree with us that, primarily. The Aurora belongs to our students. Students, it is your book. At least we have earnestly endeavored to make it your book. Only as we have been able to do this have we been successful. If we have failed to represent fairly each student, our default has been one of error rather than of intent. Realizing that school life is filled with much of joy and happiness, as well as of study and recitation, we have aimed at a well-balanced portrayal of each in its proper degree of importance. We hope that our witticisms do not tire you and that our pleasantries may prove to be somewhat delightful. To the public, — more especially to our faithful constituency — we hope that The Aurora will serve as a true revelation of the life and activity of our school. We believe that as students we may justly pride ourselves in the past accomplishments and present attainments of our beloved Alma Mater. Stricken repeatedly by adversity, she has emerged from every conflict, battle-scarred but triumphant, waving high the banner of God and Holiness. This fact we attribute not so much to human agencies — though faithful men have been God ' s instruments — as to her divine origin and holy purpose. With naught but earnest prayers and bright hopes for Olivet ' s future, we. The Staff of ' 22, submit this book in an eff ort to advance her interests. The Editor. The value of school training does not lie in the content of the college curriculum. The marked poise, self-confidence, and general adaptability, which are characteristic of only the college-bred young man or woman, are acquired in large measure by his or her participation in school activities. Experience in helping to edit and manage a school publication is undoubt- edly one of the greatest educational assets, extraneous to the school cur- riculum, which a student may be permitted to obtain. Both the financial and the editorial management of The Aurora has, for several years, been the responsibility of the student body. That the students have successfully carried this responsibility, speaks well for them. To be intimately associated with the stafi and to participate in its work is, in itself, an education, and is a privilege highly prized and appreciated by those who realize the true significance of preparation for life. It is, more- over, a work which is interesting and pleasant as well as educational, and which fully .justifies the eff ' orts of those who strive to qualify themselves for a place on the staff personnel.

In awarding prizes in these contests, Literary con- tributions are judged strictly from a literary view point rather than on the basis of utility for publication. Awards for cartoons, however, are made from the standpoint of utility. Snapshots are judged as to amount of action portrayed, photographic and scenic value, number of individuals in the picture, and total number of entries made. Each year additional interest has been taken in this contest. We are glad to announce that this year ' s prizes have been awarded as follows : SNAPSHOTS Jennie VanRamshorst First Prize Edith Achauer Second Prize LITERARY Carl McClain First Prize Harold Stoke Second Prize CARTOONING Harold Wisler First Prize Paul Stoke Second Prize OTHERS WHO HAVE MADE LITERARY ENTRIES Ailene Gilbert Ural Hollenback Ruth Hoff Ruth White Myrtle Sherman Twila Byler Lois Tinney CONTRIBUTERS HONOR ROLL Those who have rendered valuable assistance to the Staff MISCELLANEOUS ART Elsie Jenks Rose Bauerle Pansy Snyder Ruth Cooper Esther Faneuff Lela Hammond Iverne Rhoades Elmo Goontz Gertrude Sill Florence Trippet Leona Anderson Martha Linn James Tadlock Marie Swagart AN APPRECIATION We, the members of The Staff of ' 22, are deeply indebted to our many friends who have demonstrated so great interest in our book. The Faculty and Business Management have, by repeated acts of kindness, contributed much to our success. To Mrs. F. R. Coate, Dean N. W.

What means all this hustle, din, and confusion about me? I seem to be upon a public thoroughfare, but if so, where am I going? Bewildered by conditions and phenomena about me, I unconsciously spoke the words aloud. A man well advanced in years heard my inquiries and answered. Son, you are on the great road which all must travel. I do not know the cause of the confusion along the way, but it seems that it is necessary. The answer to your last question depends upon your own choice. You will reach the end of your journey when the sun sets. After imparting this small bit of information, the old gentleman turned aside to speak to another traveler, and left me at the mercy of my own investigations. The road upon which I was traveling was very broad. It had the appearance of a mountain-side plantation, overrun by a tremendous arniy. Since there were factories and industries of every kind scattered promis- cuously along the thoroughfare, the travelers were compelled to wend their way among these obstructions. Indeed, most of the motley crowd wandered aimlessly about with no destination in view. Regardless of my wanderings to and fro across the broad highway I, like my comrades, was steadily moving westward. I did not knew what was awaiting us beyond the western horizon, but, evidently, that was to be our ultimate goal. Many of my companions were loath to talk about the end of our journey, and others seemed almost unconscious of ihe fact that they were traveling at all. Some said that when we had reached our destination we should sink into a deep sleep, from which we should never awake. Others said that the characters we developed would de- termine our destinies. Those with whom I was most intimately acquainted informed me that, if I would only submit to certain rites and ceremonies, then identify myself with a certain class of people, I should have nothing to fear. I followed the advice of these friends, but even then I Vv as not relieved of my doubts and fears. Near the beginning of my journey I had stumbled over a queer- looking book, which, for some unknown reason, had been placed in my way. When I had examined it, I found that it contained some okl letters and manuscripts bearing the signatures of those whom, I have been told, were my father and elder brother. The book did not seem to have any place in my baggage. It would not fit in with my other belongings, and was always in my way, especially when I was in a hurry. Many times I became disgusted with it, and threatened to leave it by the wayside. I considered it as an heirloom, however, and refrained from my evil purpose. Later I learned that the book contained complete instructions for this journey which I was making, and also a description of the road. The description did not, however, correspond with the road on which I was traveling, and I feared greatly that I had lost my way. Since the way I should have gone was built for family use, only, it was narrow; this one was broad. Along the right way there were to be sign- boards and mile posts ; here there were none. Upon the King ' s Highway, for this was the name given in the book, there was to be no ravenous beast or nothing to make one afraid ; here, our lives were constantly in jeopardy. NINKTEICN TWENTY-TWO J ' J if Illy- four THE AURORA The way was to be smooth and well-kept ; this road was rough and difficult to travel. It was an unprepared mountain side. There were many places that were made slippery by water from foul springs, and the miry clay of which the roadbed was composed. Since there were many guides stationed at irregular intervals, I asked one of them for advice. He answered, This is the only highway there is. You cannot know what the end will be, but you must wander and slide along, trusting your mental faculties to guide you to safety. His answer only added to my confusion. I pointed him to the descrip- tion of the road in my book, but he only smiled in a patronizing way and said, That road was built only for a select few of the first travelers, and was immediately closed. Since it was very easy to descend the mountain, and extremely difficult to climb toward the summit, I loitered for some time near the base of the mountain. Below me, I observed a deep canyon. Although many of my comrades knew it was there, yet they seemed very careless and even laughed at the danger of falling into it. I saw a number of my comrades slip and fall over the precipice into the canyon below. I looked for their return, but was dismayed when a friend told me that they were lost for tirne and for eternity. I determined that I would not go that way, yet was reluctant to ascend the mountain. A certain attraction gained my at- tention, and, as I stepped upon one of the slippery places, my feet began to slide. I made desperate attempts to save myself, but could get my hands on nothing that was solid enough to stop me. For some mysterious reason I suddenly stopped sliding, just as I was almost dropping into the abyss below. I looked down. The sights that I saw and the sounds that I heard were too horrible for description. I dared look no longer, but began to think seriously of my condition. What a predicament I was in! What must I do? Unnoticed by friends, I was powerless to climb away from danger. Although I could not ascend the mountain, I was constantly moving westward, and I knew that sometime I must slide into the pit. I looked longingly up the mountain, but said to myself, Even if I should succeed in climbing up, I should find no safety, but would soon be at the bottom again. What must I do? In my distress I cried aloud for help. A voice near me whispered softly, Search the book which I laid in your pathway. I had dropped the book, but it was still within my reach. While I was reading, a stranger, who had seen my condition, came to my rescue. He pointed me to a highway at the top of the mountain, and bade me strive to reach it. I discovered that by laying aside my baggage which had been a burden to me, I was enabled slowly to ascend the mountain. When I drew nearer the King ' s Highway, I began to see the sign boards described in my book. I saw that the road was sprinkled with blood. Surely this was the way. How I longed to be upon it! But, there was an unsurmountable cliff separating the two ways. What should I do? Must I give up, and spend the day in restless longing? No, I would seek until sunset for a way to scale the cliff. Then I heard a whisper, Faithful is he who calleth you, who also will do it. I looked up to see from whence the voice came, and immediately. I mounted up as on eagle ' s wings. My feet were placed upon the solid rock of which the narrow way was made. Once again I heard the voice whisper softly, I will go before thee and make the crooked places straight. Be thou faithful unto death and I will give thee a crown of life. Earl 0. Walker— ' 25. NINETEEN TWENTY-TWO Eighty-five THE AURORA When me Tables Turned PEARL Gordon was homesick. She grudgingly admitted the fact to herself, as she approached the college to which she was coming as a Freshman. As she came near the campus, she was charmed by the sight. It seemed as if Dame Autumn had arrayed herself in gorgeous attire to welcome the new-comers. Well, if I am as well pleased with the Wesleyans as I am with their school, I shall be alright, she admitted half aloud. After the girls of the college had planned and organized a Big Sister Movement, they had arranged the Y. W. C. A. room for the entertainment of their little sisters and new comers. Pearl, who really had no sisters, now found herself in possession of quite a number. But from this first day, there was one girl, Lorene Harmon, who impressed Pearl as a splendid character. She could see that all of the other girls liked Miss Harmon, and seemed to depend upon her. They were anxious to do anything which would please Lorene. Pearl also was attracted by her, — her character, her initiative, her efficiency, and her charming personality. Pearl greatly admired. As the weeks passed by, the other girls seemed a little jealous because Lorene ' s and Pearl ' s friendship became very strong. We don ' t know much about Pearl, except that she came from some town or place away out west, maybe from a poor family while Lorene has been reared in an eastern city. Pearl is doing good work in school, but nevertheless there seems to be no reason for an upper classman taking so much interest in a newcomer, especially a Freshman, were a few of the comments passed by the other girls. Meanwhile, Lorene and Pearl became better friends. They seemed to have many common interests and seemed to understand each other per- fectly. Finally some of the other college girls concluded that if Lorene thought more of Pearl than she did of them, their friendship would be less intimate. They did not need to tell Lorene ; she could feel it. The crisis had come in an all girls league meeting. As Lorene went to her room that night her heart was sad. Which shall I do? she asked herself. Shall I sacrifice a few pretended friends, or one real friend ? She picked up her kodak album and turned page after page. Through- out the pages. Pearl ' s picture appeared more often than any of the other girls ' pictures. We have taken part in nearly everything together. Pearl is original, efficient, congenial and a dear Christian girl. Back of all her deeds is an ideal character. The only reason the girls are acting this way is that they are jealous. I know one thing now, and that is, that I prefer the friendship of one girl like Pearl to that of a dozen girls like them. It is settled, Lorene declared emphatically. Then she skipped down to Pearl ' s room and persuaded her to go for a walk. As commencement time drew near the girls became busier than ever.

Instead of her being able to go home after commencement the doctor insisted that she take an entire three months vacation, out west on o TO T TT1 As soon as Pearl realized what kind of rest Lorene needed, and where she needed to go for it, she wrote to her own parents, relating the chief events in the two girls school days, and told them of their close friendship. Then she also wrote to Lorene ' s parents. She waited patiently for a letter in return. When the answer came, Pearl hurriedly opened it, and scanned it ' s pages till she found the important part. Instantly she rushed down to Lorene ' s room to tell her the secret. If you think you can stand the shock, I will tell you something, Pearl gasped. You know I have never told you much about my home but I will now. My father is just as successful as any of the other girls ' fathers and we have a good modern farm home out west.

I also have just received a letter from your mother. She says : ' Dear Miss Pearl : Mr. Harmon and I wish to express our deep apreciation to you for all that you have done for Lorene.

The master of man is mind, and a proposition pertaining to change of life and trans- formation of nature, to be effective must obviously be presented to the head of the house, who has the full prerogative of accepting or rejecting a proposition. Conviction is a state of the mind brought about by an entertainment of the most serious proposition to which we are ever called upon to give at- tention. It is a troubled state, marked by perplexity and uneasiness and accompanied by a keen dissatisfaction with past life. The predominant feature of conviction is an overwhelming sense of sin. As Mr. Starbuch says : The central fact in it all is the sense of sin, while the other condi- tions are various manifestations of this. Some of these other conditions or manifestations may aid in giving a fuller comprehension of conviction. There are several which might be mentioned ; first, a mental depression, or a feeling of desolation, melan- choly and sadness ; secondly, self-distrust or discouragement, — a sense of utter helplessness ; thirdly, anxiety and a feeling of estrangement, not only from God but also from friends and companions as well. The subject is often thrown into an agony of suspense and almost hopelessness. He may feel that God despises him, or even that he is doomed to be forever lost. The contributor to conviction may be either or both subjective and objective. It varies with the subject, depending on his temperament and previous knowledge or training. It first assumes tangible form in the sub- consciousness whence it presents itself to the objective mind with various degrees of intensity. The chief subjective or internal contributor to conviction is previous knowledge or training which in the meantime may have been forgotten, but which has been unconsciously wrought upon by the subconscious mind. The religious teachings received in childhood, although often seemingly lost, are stored up in the subliminal reservoir the same as are other experiences. And the result is that after the person has reached the age of account- ability, the organization of this material which has been added to and worked on by the sub-conscious mind, suddenly receives the final connecting link or capstone in the form of a timely sermon, the reading of a religious book or a pivotal period in the development of the physical or mental make- up of the individual and is consummated in conviction. The objective contributor to conviction is Divine Revelation. The Holy Spirit who is its agent, approaches the subject physically through the subconsciousness and socially through the evangelist or Christian worker. In the latter instance the preacher is only the instrument ; the Christ whom he lifts up, does the drawing. The sight of His sinlessness and unbounded love for the lost is a great factor in conviction. His own corruption and depravity, when contrasted with Jesus ' purity and innocence, rests doubly heavy upon the convicted sinnei-. True conviction is brought about only through Divine Revelation. Nevertheless, there is a form of artificial conviction which arises almost en- tirely as a result of social pressur e. Examples of this are seen in some social or semi-religious revivals of our day. The preacher, who is essentially a psychologist, works on the feelings and emotions and appeals to the judg- NINKTEKN TWENTY-TWO ' , ' ' ' dull I THE AURORA ment of his subject. The latter, influenced by the preacher and stirred by the general excitement and urgings of friends, is brought to a realization ot his evil habits. He becomes sorry he has made a failure of himself and is even so disgusted with his past life that he leaves it, though this is usually only for a time. Of course such conviction is less intense than the genuine. It results in a temporary conversion to the originator of the conviction — the preacher and public opinion. ■. ■ We know that conviction is in the subconsciousness because it is not subject to control by the objective mind. The latter will usually try to disregard it, argue it down, or reason it out, but still it persists ; harbored by the subliminal self it grows and strengthens, despite the attacks made upon it by the will and intellect. Eventually, it does one of two things : it either forces the objective mind to give up the struggle, securing recogni- tion by the intellect, and conquering the will, making conversion possible ; or it reaches its maximum force without breaking down the machinations arrayed against it in the objective mind, in which case it gradually sub- sides to a passive or dormant state in the subconsciousness whence it may or may not be aroused again. Since the material of the subconscious cannot be recalled at will, we have herein a psychological explanation of the unpardonable sin. . . ■ . The direct psychic agent of conviction is the conscience. An instance of its action is given in John 8 :9. And they which heard it, being con- victed by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last; and in Romans 2.15, Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while acusing or else excusing one another; also Second Corinthians 1 :12. For our rejoicing is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in simplicity and godly sincerity, not with fleshly wisdom, but by the grace of Gcd, we have had our conversation in the world, and more abundantly to you-ward. ■ ,• • Since the conscience always expresses itself negatively, conviction is thus seen to be more a background survey of past misdeeds than a looking into the future for possible relief. However, relief is always available; and though the penitent subject may feel for a time that there is no help, if he meets the conditions laid down in God ' s Word, the miserable past at last will be blotted from view, and before his vision will be thrown the blessed light of salvation.

His head was bowed ; his hands clasped in front of him ; his heavy hair fell unrestrained upon his forehead. Every movement of his strong, stalwart figure revealed the strongest emotion. At a table nearby, sat his wife, her face buried in her hands. Had her head been lifted, one would have seen traces of tears in the blue eyes, and a tender, but sad expression upon her face. Some little clothes, a pair of tiny white shoes and stockings lay upon a chair near the table. As Mr. Allen came near the door, he looked out upon the grounds of their little home. In the crisp air of early spring every object appeared unusually clear and distinct : the lawn, already beginning to look green, the garage with its driveway leading to the road, the farm yards and buildings, the garden to the right, and beyond all these, the fields of new wheat. How much earnest effort had been put into every inch of that soil. His mind went back to the time when he had come with his bride to the little house among the cottonwood and elm trees to make their home. Then had come the days of real testing. The corn had been gathered, the wheat had been sowed. A mild winter had followed with beautiful, sunshiny days. Very little moisture, only one snow, which had drifted along the roads and hedges, had fallen throughout the winter. March days had come with unequalled windstorms. How the dust had blown ! No wonder acres and acres of wheat had been uprooted. But perhaps the summer would bring rain, and the corn would be good. The thought had brought renewed hope. The rain had come, but only to be followed by a blighting hail. Another winter has passed with prospects for only a limited harvest. We cannot understand why so much should be taken at once. she had said, but we still have each other and our little family, worth more to us than material wealth. Little had she thought that God in His all-seeing Providence would soon call one of these to Himself. How can it be? again he repeated to himself. Suddenly little Bobbie jumped up from his work of architecture. Slipping over to his mother ' s side, he laid his hands upon her arm, and said, Mother, Bobbie ' s hundry. Mrs. Allen aroused herself quickly, and wiped her eyes; then putting her arms around the child, she gave him an impulsive squeeze. As she felt his little arms about her neck her thoughts again were on the smaller one whose caresses she would feel no more in this world. Yes, mother ' s baby must be hungry. Mother will get us all some- thing to eat. She hastened to the kitchen, and began preparing the evening meal. Many other duties presented themselves for her attention. Mechanically, she cared for each one. As Mr. Allen passed thru the kitchen on his way to do the outdoor chores, he; paused beside his wife. Surely God knows best, and we shall see why, he said. Yes, surely some day, she I ' eplied. : NINKTICKN TWKNTY-TWO NUirl ' jl THE AURORA That evening Mrs. Allen brought out the little garments to be laid away in the small chest lined with soft blue silk. Lingeringly her fingers handled the pieces, as she folded them neatly, and arranged little bags of perfume among them. j. , j_ -err-- 1 Slowly the days passed by, each filled with its routine of duty. With- out the little home, the sun never shone more brightly ; withm, a sad but delicate tenderness reigned. , i j Easter morning dawned, fresh and perfect, it seemed, from the hand of God. Mr. and Mrs. Allen and Bobbie, as was their custom, went to the church. No sooner had they entered its doors than they felt the sweet accord of God ' s house with the beautiful day which He had created. As the service was opened, the rich, full tones of the pipe organ filled the church with strains of heavenly music. A quiet restful calm stole into the two hearts as the organ again sent forth its message of love and hope. Mr. Allen turned his face upward, big tears filling his eyes, while the radiance of heaven shone out from the expressive face of his wife. The Easter sermon by their pastor deepened the peace which now seemed to fill their souls. , As they left the church, Mr. Allen spoke softly, The Lord gave, the Lord hath taken away ; blessed be the name of the Lord. They reached their car, and in a short time were again in their home. Stepping to the piano, Mrs. Allen with new meaning played and sang the little song : • - A little pink rose in my garden grew, The loveliest one of all. ' Twas kissed by the sun, caressed by the dew, 0, little pink rose of my garden, 0, little pink rose, ' twas you. 0 ' little pink rose of your mother ' s heart, Have you faded and gone away?

Twila Byler, ' 25 NINETEEN TWENTY-TWO Ni.)ictij-onc I I THE AURORA Christian Education WE ARE living in an age of education. Everywhere men are seeking knowledge. They are studying how to accomplish the highest achievements with the most economical outlay of time and money. Men are specializing in all branches of learning and education. The ques- tion arises, what kind of education should one seek? We answer, by all means get a christian education. Christian education is essential to prepare us for life ' s duties and activities. It is fundamental to true suc- cess. By christian education is meant the right kind of training for the entire man, — body, mind and spirit. Train only the body, and man be- comes a brute; train only the mind, and he is a skeptic; develop only the soul and he becomes a fanatic. Men should be trained according to their maker ' s original purpose for them, — namely to glorify God and enjoy Him forever. True christian education is one of the greatest needs of the day. Scepticism, higher criticism, sin and worldliness are sweeping over our fair land, deluding multitudes of men and women. We must have trained men and women to meet this advancing tide of evil. We feel that our only hope is to have christian schools where the right kind of education can be given to our young people. Statistics reveal that a large percent of the men of note and prom- inence in church and state have come from christian colleges. State insti- tutions provide less than four percent of ministers, missionaries and christian workers. It is apparent that the holiness schools are sending out more christian workers to home and foreign fields than are other denominational schools. No doubt the reason for this, is that many of these institutions are reeking with higher criticism. We are glad to be able to say that Olivet University is one place where God is honored, the divinity of Jesus is recognized, the personality of the Holy Spirit is believed in, and the Holy Bible is reverenced as the inspired word of God. Young people are being trained here to bless the world by holy living and high ideals. The principles taught are abiding. Rev.

THE AURORA II I o 3 C O O --a 03 NINETEEN TWENTY-TWO Ninety-nine THE AURORA ' Bh Music Club Allen Ritchie Peake Wisler Ludwig Burkholder Sloan Price Pryor Peters Peake Cooper Crammond Wisler Peters Goode Achauer Anderson One of the interesting features of the school year has been the organ- ization of the Bt; Music Club. The purpose of the society is to stim- ulate good will and friendship among its members and to develop a more general appreciation for good music. The club meets semi-monthly at the homes of those of its members who live in Olivet. The idea has been to make it rather an informal club with, however, enough organization to insure its permanance. A number of entertaining programs composed of vocal, instrumental, and literary num- bers, have been rendered; all of which have contributed to the musical knowledge of the members. Every one is expected to come prepared to render a number, if called upon at any time, whether he is on the program or not. This plan provides spontaneiety and originality; thus it adds greatly to the interest of the programs. After each program a short time is spent in promoting a spirit of good-fellowship. Happy memories of the pleasant evenings spent in this manner will long remain in the minds of those who have participated in them. When griping grief the heaft doth ivound, And doleful dumps the mind oppress, Then fniisic, with her silver sound With speedy help doth give redress. — Shakesi ' eare. NINIOPKION ' I ' WKNTY-TWO Ohi; lli tidred THE AURORA Tke Journalists HOLLENBACK FiNDLAY HOFF MOORE LUBWIG REYNOLDS GILBERT ByLER RuMPH Ingle Reed McClain Coate Mackey Today there is a great need for high-quality Christian literature. Our newspapers are commercialized, and many of our magazines are hardly fit to read. Writers of fiction as well as of poetry, to meet the competition of the sensual moving-picture, are sacrificing their talent and degrading their art to satisfy the depraved appetite of the masses. To successfully meet this tendency demands the highest possible ability in the Christian press. We have a few publications which, managed by able Christian writers, are making a successful and heroic effort to stem the tide. But these men must some day be succeeded and it is not presumption to say that their places will be filled by the product of our colleges and universities. Realizing the importance of cultivating literary interests in our school. The Journalists have organized for that purpose. The club, which pro- vides for a maximum of fifteen members, is able to make a more intensive study than can be made in the ordinary literary society. The informal rendering of programs insures a liberal and helpful exchange of sugges- tions and criticisms. The Journalists cannot approximate their ideals in a day or in a year, but we trust that they will advance rapidly in the ac- complishment of their aims, that they may be of the utmost service to God, to the Church, and to humanity. The study of literature nourishes youth, entertains old age, adorns prosperity, solaces adversity, is delightful at home, and uyiohtrusive abroad. — CiCERO.

I ' i)iir THE AURORA NINETEEN TWENTY-TWO One Hundred Five w THE AURORA Zr — R emmiscences of 21 - 22 School days, the Golden Age of life, do not last forever, but their memories linger. Soon we shall have gone from the training camp, our Alma Mater, into the battle fields of life. There the burdens will press upon us, and the cares will furrow our brows; yet, hidden away in our innermost being, will linger memories of the days spent in Olivet. Like sunbeams in a cobwebby attic, will be the reminiscences of these days to our tired, careworn hearts. The memory of each prank will be refresh- ing; each joke on classmate or teacher will cheer us with its pleasant asso- ciations of joyous schoolday happenings ; each spiritual feast of today will be a balm to our battle-scarred souls sometime out in the tomorrows. So, like the most priceless treasures, let us guard and cherish these our reminiscences of 1921-22. — NINETEEN TWENTY-TWO Our llinidrrd. Six THE AURORA Commencement 21 On the morning of May 19, 1921, Olivet ' s campus had a strikingly unusual appearance. With our buildings surrounded by a cluster of tents and the busy throngs hurrying to and fro, we were almost made to feel that an army of occupation had entered our little village. As the motoring campers continued to pour in, the campus became black with a host of parked cars, and the crowds continued to increase. Everyone was hurry- ing about in anticipation of the coming event. The information tent with its stream of inquirers proved that adults were merely grown up children. As should be the case each succeeding year, last commencement seemed better than any previous one. The alternating programs and camprneet- ing services formed a harmonious combination of intellectual and spiritual good things. The students, relieved of their school work, visited freely with friends from home. Neither drenching rain nor hot sultry days were able to lessen the ardor of the visiting campers, who were delighted, up- lifted and refreshed by the services. The programs are recalled not so much as individual events, but rather as a delightful succession of orations, addresses and oratorios. By Sunday, May 22, the auditorium could not contain the crowds, so the mem- orable Baccalaureate sermon was delivered by Dr. Hughes of Wilmore, Ky., in the tabernacle. The Oratorio by the Choral Society followed, in the afternoon. The climax was reached on Thursday morning when the Hon. Wm. J. Bryan addressed the crowds which thronged the tabernacle and the surrounding grove. The Camp Meeting To many of the visitors, the camp-meeting was even a greater attraction than the commencement. The wonderful messages by Dr. John Matthews and Bro. Bud Robinson delivered in the holy, prayerful atmosphere which pervaded the camp, were the means of many souls being saved, sanctified, or refreshed by the Holy Ghost. The singing by P. P. Bilhorn, Mr. and Mrs. Mayne, and the Aeolian Quartette was appreciated by all. Outstanding among the special services of the camp was the memorial service, held in honor of our beloved Miss Viola Willison, who gave her life for India. Miss Eva Carpenter and Miss Bashford, both of whom knew Miss Willison on the field, gave touching reminiscences of their ac- quaintance with her. After this, Mrs. Stella Crooks delivered a stirring plea for missions, in which hundreds of hearts were made to see the need of money, workers and prayer. The hour ended with a consecration ser- vice, in which over a hundred young men and women consecrated their lives to the cause of the King, in whose service Miss Willison so nobly fought and died.

Then came the Faculty Reception, when, in true society manner, the Faculty members and students were all lined up and made to go through the get acquainted hand-shaking process. After that, everyone knew everyone else, and school really began in earnest. Annual Aurora Campaign One of the most pleasant student activities of this year was the Boost The Aurora campaign. The plan was rather unique. Four leaders — two for each side — were appointed by the staff to organize two sides for a contest. After a choosing match, in which all persons who had previously subscribed for an Aurora were divided between the two sides, both teams set to work with a vim. As purple tags could not be procured, red ones were substituted, and the names Red and Gold were immediately adopted. All sort of inducements were offered. Speeches were made; banners were unfurled ; the excitement ran high. After a whirlwind of action, the campaign closed with the Reds triumphantly victorious. Then came the picnic. With true 0. U. spirit Reds and Golds ceased to be rivals ; instead, all were guests and hosts. Everyone did his best to make the other fellow happy. Thanksgiving Da}? Of all the happy days of the year none was more pleasant than Thanksgiving. All through the day the campus was a scene of rejoicing and i ' estivity. At the praise service in the morning both students and townsfolks gathered to give thanks to the Great Giver of every good and perfect gift, for the blessings of the year. Then came the dinner, — made HO l)()uiiteous by the generosity of our homefolk, and after that an afternoon lull of good limes for all.

The powerful messages delivered by Dr. John Matthews, as well as the presence of the members of the Board in our midst, made the occasion one of unusual blessing and inspiration. Olivet Spiritual Life Each school year, new students enroll and new classes are formed, but the same spirit of love and unity always prevails. School days at Olivet are days of refreshing and rejoicing because of the blessings of the Lord upon the student body. The prayer life of our students is a great asset to the school. Stu- dents may be heard praying at any time, and organized prayer-bands meet for prayer in the early morning, at noon, and at night. The dining hall and chapel are made to be places of prayer and praise. Every class is opened with prayer. The students assemble in the chapel each Saturday night for the band-meeting, which is a song and praise service. The prayer life of the students, the spiritual environment of the school, and the strict adherence of the teachers to Scriptural doctrine, cultivate remarkable faith in the hearts of our young people. Marvelous cases of healing and other manifestations of answered prayer are frequent. A noticeable feature of our school life is the congenial spirit of harmony prevalent among both students and faculty. There are no higher or lower classes — all are like one big family. Rev. Chas. M. Hakrison. NINETEEN TWENTY-TWO One Hundred Niyie THE AURORA Dorm Life What a host of welcome thoughts the words dorm life recall to our minds! How pleasant were the frolics before and after (never during!) study hours, the pillow fights, slumber (-less) parties, and Saturday night feeds. Remember the boxes from home? And oh what fun there was in playing jokes on new ones in the parlor! How we used to gather for song fests or take long walks and have a little harmony ! Mingled with these thoughts of fun and frolic, however, are precious remembrances of the dining hall where, led by Our Mother we joined our hearts and voices in praise to God. These and a thousand other memories of happy school days are called up by the simple words, dorm life . ni e Matron ' s Banquet Monday came. There was a general stir. Here and there the stu- dents hastened to bring lamps, rugs, and cushions; the tables were ar- ranged ; and soon the dining hall was converted into a veritable banquet hall. In the kitchen a bevy of students were busily preparing dainties. What for? A banquet was to be given in honor of our dear Mother Odell as a token of our love and appreciation. All proclaimed it an enjoyable evening and a great success. m e Cook ' s Rest A day off for the cooks and waiters! And did we starve? By no means ; for Mr. Bryan and Mr. Whitacre came to our rescue with steaming hot flapjacks. Everyone was down to breakfast too, even the teachers, for they waited tables. And such a merry time as we did have all day long! The best time of all came in the evening, when Mother Pryor told us what a blessing the day of rest had been to her.

Moore A STATEMENT The days of miraculous and wonderful happenings are not past. You will fully agree with this statement when you learn the achievements of the Finance Committee of Olivet University. About four years ago the Finance Committee launched a campaign to pay the mdebtedness against Olivet University. God has helped them to pay over $100,000.00 on the indebtedness besides accumulating about $50,000.00 worth of real estate given by our people and $75,000.00 in unpaid pledges . j :. The Committee is now launching the GREAT FINAL DRIVE to liquidate every dollar of indebtedness against the institution, and leave the real estate and other assets as a permanent endowment for Olivet Uni- versity. Will you not pray, pray, pray that God will help mightily m this great undertaking?

Through it have come many of the engineering ideas that have made this an electrical America. The story of electrical development begins in theResearch Laboratories. Here the ruling spirit is one of knowledge — truth — rather than immediate practical results. In this manner are established new theories — tools for futureuse — which sooner or later find ready application. The great industries that cluster around Niagara Falls, the electrically driven battleships, the trolley cars and electrified railwaysthat carry millions, the lamps that glow in homes and streets, the householdconveniencesthathaverelieved women of drudgery, the labor-saving elec- trical tools of factories, all owe their ex- istence, partly at least, to theco-ordinated efforts of the thousands who daily stream through this gateway.

How pleasant to recall the golden moments and happy experiences of college life. The impressions formed there do not vanish as a passing cloud, but are graven deeply on the tables erf memory. The chapel hour is something impossible to forget. Our recollections of it will ever be held as a sacred treasure. What a source of inspiration and spiritual blessing it was to us! There everyone met on a common ground of fellowship and devotion. How much this close association with noble men and women will do to soften the ruggedness of the future and to strengthen us for life ' s battles ! Some of our greatest pleasures have been received during the hours spent in the chapel. How the preaching of the truth stirred our hearts and thrilled our souls! To many this hour was a turning point in the course of their lives, a time when great inner battles were silently fought and won. Choices were made which will affect destinies through time and eternity. Recognizing that variety is the spice of life, those in charge of the chapel hour have provided for us everything possible for our uplift and development. In addition to local talent, able speakers — most of whom were men of our own movement — assisted our faithful Dean from time to time in teaching us the essentials of salvation, and in bringing us to a greater realization of the magnitude of life and the manifold possibilities lying dormant in our beings. What Olivetian will ever forget the looks of good-will from our faculty as they took their places each morning on the platform before us. Who can forget their catalogue of announcements? Who will not remember Indian Head penny day at 0. U.? Can such deeply imprinted memories sleep in us? They will not! In a few years the memory of the chapel hour will be a voice sweeter than song, a remembrance of by-gone hours filled with joy and cheer. Lela Reynolds, ' 25.

Those who possess such a physique do not recognize how rich they are until they lose their health and cannot regain it. Many of our young people are reared in homes where each member of the family is an active worker and a hearty eater. When they enter school, many of them continue to eat as they did at home but fail to exer- cise enough. Bad health follows and they are compelled to leave school or continue their work at a disadvantage. Again, participation in games gives one a chance to measure his physical and mental possibilities by those of his fellow students. This is an incentive to harder work and closer application. The glory of the young man is his strength . Take this glory from him and you have re- moved wonderful possibilities for his future career. The chances for finding himself are diminished many times. Further, self-control is a characteristic of every successful man. Many times have we seen men destroy much of their influence by being unable to control instinctive emotions. Many, who object to clean, well-ordered athletics, are powerless in the face of competition. Young men in prepara- tion for life ' s work should be trained to rub shoulder to shoulder with rugged opponents and retain a poise, laudable in the lives of the best Christians in the land. This poise is made more fascinating by the ruddy cheeks and the smiling face so natural to one who mixes play with work and responsibility. Good health, the finding of one ' s self , control of one ' s emotions, and a smiling face are possible products of well-controlled athletics The best of these characteristics are not found where play does not enter. We do not believe in or plead for much of the athletics participated in by worldly schools. Much of it should not be allowed at all; but we do believe that many tendencies toward immorality and questionable conduct could be overcome by well organized gymnasium and field work. Many of us forget that we were once young and playful, and refuse to tolerate in the lives of our children the very things we so much enjoyed when we were young. If we can look back over these experiences and their results, we shall find much in them that was ennobling and little that was demoralizing. Immorality often comes as a result of physical inactivity among our students. Professor N. W. Sanford. NINETEEN TWENTY-TWO One Hundred Nineteen 1! !!!!!=?

Plan —OF THE— GENERAL BOARD OF FOREIGN MISSIONS CHURCH OF THE NAZARENE PLAN The investment of funds is a matter that should receive careful consideration by those to whom the money has been intrusted. The annuity plan of the General Foreign Missionary Board affords an opportunity for the investment of funds in God ' s work whereby the usual income from investments may be received, and the investor have the blessed privilege of knowing that the principal is being used in God ' s work. The Board will receive amounts of $100 and up and pay in terest on the same during the life of the annuitant, and at his or her death, the money belongs to the Board without further obligation. The rate of interest will depend upon the age of the person donating the money. The money draws interest every day without any interruption by replacing loans or otherwise. The interest is paid promptly semi-annually and a proper bond is executed for the payment of the interest, properly signed and bearing the seal of the Board. ADVANTAGES 1. You have no care about a safe investment. Sometimes money is lost for lack of sufficient security or other reasons. 2. You have no care about collecting interest or rents. The annuity will be paid promptly semi-annually the day it is due as long as you live. 3. Your money will bear interest every day through life. Sometimes there is a loss of income because money can not be kept constantly invested. Investments are often perplexing, and safe and satisfactory ones difficult to secure. All uncertainties of this kind are avoided by the annuity plan. 4. By this plan your money begins its mission of usefulness at once and goes on repeating itself in blessings for all the years to come. It does the highest service in the cause which is dearest to all Christian hearts, preaching the gospel to those who know it not. 5. After death there is no cause for delay of settlement of this part of an estate. You have enjoyed a life income and the money is now the property of the Board to carry on the Lord ' s work. There is no expense or litigation in settlement of the estate. 6. The Board will receive money, securities, real estate, or other properties on the annuity plan, thereby relieving the investor of the burden usual in connection with handling of real estate and securities.
