Age, had placed her hand, as a heavy weight, upon his neck, and his long, white hair hung roughly over his forehead. Though he was not a blacksmith by trade, yet the following lines from the old familiar poem might well be applied to him : Toiling, rejoicing, sorrowing, Onward through life he goes, Each morning sees a task begun, Each evening sees its close. He rubbed his hard rough hand over his face to remove the marks of tears, and, with quivering and shaking shoulders, he drew a gilt edged letter from his pocket. It was well written, but considerably soiled and wrinkled. He rubbed his dim eyes once more with the back of his hand, that he might be able to dis- tinguish the lines more easily, then began : I thought I ' d write and tell you that I ' m not coming home this Christmas. There ' s nothing doing there. I ' d like fifty dollars. Yours, Dot. He carefully folded the letter and placed it back in his pocket. My Dot, he said with a pitiful quiver in his voice, My Dot. Fifty ! Yes, — let me see, — anything you want, Dot. There ' s not much bread in the cupboard, nor much wood outside the door, but I shall want for nothing, Dot, so long as you are happy. I wish you were comin ' home though, Dot. Here his voice broke and he paused a moment, put his elbows on his knees and looked thoughtfully at the fire. All was in silence save for the steady patter of the rain on the old thatched roof, and the steady crackle of the fire as it leaped from log to log. Dot ' s not comin ' home, he wiped away another tear. My little Dot ' s a young lady now. This old patched hut was a nest for her once, but now, no more. She ' s seen a better home than these old hands were able to provide. Dot, he went on, I love you so and miss you more than ever know. If your mother had lived, you would have been different, had someone to brush my clothes and fix my hair. Perhaps you wouldi been ashamed of me then. Someone to love me, Dot, that ' s all. His vhcc broke again, and his stout shoulders heaved up and down like the billow stormy sea. The fire burned lower, and the wind whistled down the chimney (Continued on page 101) Page Thirty-Seven __jtgj ft gjMI-g $ $ = mess ( 7 7 OLINESS is often opposed because it is misunderstood. Some oppose J ly it because they think that its professors claim to have reached a place where they cannot sin ; some oppose it because there are those who claim it and do not live up to their profession ; and others oppose it because they be- lieve the standard is higher than is necessary to eternal life ; and still others op- pose it because they look at its requirements without considering what it provides. All of these arguments are in vain, for there is enough scripture in the Bible on holiness to prove to any unbeliever that it can be obtained. Although the per- son who has holiness of heart does not sin, yet it is possible that he could sin by breaking the laws of God. Many people are mistaken by thinking that when we receive a perfect heart we will also have a perfect head. God did not promise to give us a perfect head, but he did say we could have a perfect heart. Let us look at some scripture on holiness and see what the Lord has to say. First, holiness is a requirement of the law of God. Gen. 17 :1 and Lev. 11 :44 will prove this. 1 Peter 1 :15-16 says, As he which hath called you is holy, be ye also holy. It is written, Be ye holy as I am holy. God is holy, heaven is holy, angels are holy, and men must be holy if they ever associate with holy beings in heaven. Hebrews 12:14 says that without holiness no man shall see the Lord. This one verse is enough to show that holiness is a necessity. A sinner would not be happy in heaven because he would not know the ways of God. He would be like a dirty and ragged beggar brought into a bright and beautiful ban- queting hall without any change of attire. The consciousness of sin alone would make one unhappy among the holy. The goodness as well as the justice of God has forever closed the doors of heaven against sin, as it would destroy the peace and joy of heaven. The moral requirements of the law of God are the same in this world ; but we should not be of the world. God says, Be not conformed to this world. A boat is not injured by being in the water; it is when the water gets in the boat that the disaster occurs. In the second place, holiness of heart is provided in the grace which God ■eely offers to every man. If God can keep a lily pure and white amidst the dirty surroundings of a coal pit, surely we could not question his ability to keep the soul clean in the midst of a sinful world. He is able to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him. There is no demand of the law that was not met in the provision of grace. A command to be obeyed is a promise to be believed. gnorance and sinfulness are not good excuses with God, for If any man will (lo my will, he shall know of the doctrine. the third instance, holiness is the normal spiritual state of man. It is the which he was originally created, and means as much to the soul as health (Continued on page 105) Page Thirty-Eight graduate Students LESTER RICHARDSON Indianapolis, Indiana Sweet hour of prayer, sweet hour of prayer, That calls me from a world of care, And bids me, at my Father ' s throne, Make all my wants and wishes known !

' ' Page Forty-Three «yfes=-«ssiM!£ $ Ganaan EHall Soliloquy AM a veteran of many battles, a survivor of many periods of great pressure, and am still able to support myself. My age has slipped from my memory. and all of my mates have long ago disappeared. My residence is anywhere in Canaan Hall, Olivet College. I have been pushed, shoved, and carried all over the campus. Sometimes 1 have been secluded in one room for long periods of time without a bit of company, where only an occasional visitor would come and sit on me. One day a couple quarreled over me. The next, I was without a friend, alone in the world. Now that 1 am old they are very careless about my feelings. I can tell a lot of secrets, too. Do you want me to? A long time ago a young man was talking too long with his girl. Soon he was removed from the student council. Oh, yes, I was there and heard every word of it ! One night about two years ago I was in the corner of the dining hall near a radiator about ten o ' clock. I heard a whisper, and then felt someone kick me. I was about to make a noise when someone caught me and shoved me back into the corner with a command to stay there. I didn ' t get all of the conversation, but the young man seemed to insist, while the girl was rather inclined to hesitate. I heard they were married on Christmas day ; I guess she finally consented. Another time, a large man got me up in the corner and leaned back on me until I thought my days of usefulness were ended. Something happened just then and he left, and I have never wished myself near him since. One day I got into the kitchen and heard some female voice say, Oh, Mr. Richardson, flakes or hay. Another one said, We want some butter. I got in the way of one of these delicate students, so she kicked me, broke one of my ribs, and wrenched my back. Since then, I have had to take a back place in the strenuous activities. I was in the piano practice room one evening, when the parlor was full. A young couple came in, and sat down. I thought I should have to move, but they were talking. Soon the conversation drifted to work in Michigan, then to i $chool work, then to the temperature of the room, and finally to each other. He li ' -fkdked of her beautiful eyes, her curly hair, and all of her qualities, as though he 5%were judge in a beauty contest. They had a party at the home of our president a X Iptle while later, and you can guess the rest. Yes, that ' s right.

What an old- fashioned adage it is, and what a wealth of truth is hidden behind those innocent letters so suavely gathered into words! It will apply in all circumstances of life, important, or small and matter-of-fact, as they may be. It does not matter so much what one wears and how one looks, as the man- ner in which words are spoken, and in which deeds are enacted. One may be fitted in the height of fashion with the most exclusive creations in clothes and yet be dull and uninteresting. Have you ever been to a party, a dinner, or an affair of any kind and seen some one who was clothed in the most correct apparel, but who spoiled the social by being silly, affected, or lacking in the grace of pretty manners? It is often done. We, the younger set, so often seem to forget that after all it ' s not the clothes that we wear or the manners we affect, but our real selves that people notice and either admire or repulse. Life isn ' t lived merely in the major events. It is grace in the minor affairs, as well as those of more importance, that we need to learn and practice. After all, we are really no better than the smallest thing we would stoop to do. If we are careful in the little things, the grace of culture and re- finement will not forsake us when crucial events of life confront us. Character is founded on the substantial or makeshift items that we chance to pour into the mold of our youth. So let us, one and all, learn to be pretty in our every thought and action, at home — at school — at play.

Some say prayer is for fools to lisp; And, lisping, they believe That God in Heaven their prayer doth hear, And comfort they receive. The Devil himself will talk of prayer; But let the weakest pray, Add faith to prayer, and prayer to faith, And he will flee away.

INTRODUCTION Webster says, The axis is that on which any matter hinges or turns. Love is the axis upon which this life of ours hinges. With it we are a blessing. With- out it we are helpless. Mazzini has said, The religion of humanty is Love. Napoleon Bonaparte said, Alexander, Caesar, Charlemagne, and myself have founded great empires on force. Jesus Christ alone founded his empire on love. Everything in the Christian experience depends on our love to Christ. Love to God is not a mere transient emotion, but a state of will and affection, and is in- separable from genuine faith — Faith which works by love and purifies the heart. Love is the hinge working through faith that joins us to Christ. I Paul prays that their love might abound more and more. (a) By a walk filled with love to God. Eph. 5 :2. (b) By a love for the Holy Scriptures. Psa. 19:7. (c) By a love for others. Rom. 13:8-10. II That as a result of their love they should abound in wisdom. Phil. 1 :9. (a) They should abound through love in knowledge. (b) They should abound through love in good judgment. (c) They should abound through love in good sense. Ill That there would be as a result of wisdom. (a) An approval of excellent things. Rom. 2:18. (b) A practice of excellent things. Eph. 6:6. A perfect sincerity. Thoughts, motives, actions. Phil. 1 :10. We will live a life without offense (toward man and God). Acts 24:16. As a result of abounding more and more in love there will be a filling with the fruits of righteousness. Eph. 5 :22-26. Love, joy, peace, always abiding by invariable long suffering, patience, resignation, gentleness, triumphing over all provocation by goodness, mildness, sweetness, tenderness of spirit ; by simplicity of life, godly sincer- ity, by meekness, calmness and eveness of Spirit. CONCLUSION If then our entire Christian experience rests upon the axis of love shall we t hearken to the prayer of Paul. Let us abound more and more in love that may with Paul say, For me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. Albert B.

The preaching places of our Student Pastors vary in distance from ten to seventy miles. The young preacher may be seen on a Saturday afternoon, busily engaged, changing a tire or doing some minor repair on that means of conveyance called a motor car, by which he is able to reach his appointment on Sunday. Many and varied are the experiences that he has before reaching home after his last service, from repairing punctures, fixing spark plugs, and adjusting dis- tributor points, to pushing cars home when the gas supply has failed to meet the rtS quired distance. These journeys have their difficulties and tests ; but, best of all, God is present ,,$ri; ower and blessings. After spending time in study, prayer, and burning the midnight oil, our hearts are made to rejoice when we see precious souls bowing the altar for pardon or purity. Hallelujah! The work done may not seem very much ; but from the labors and faithful- ness of these student pastors there are five students in school this year, two of them academy seniors, one a Bible school senior, and all of them enjoying the blessing of full salvation and expecting to go out to bless a lost world.

C A ANY centuries ago, Christ commissioned mankind, saying, Go ye J X I into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature, and lo, I v. am with you alway, even unto the ends of the world. Many thou- sands have heard this command and have been obedient ; while others are still hearing it. In order that the ones upon whom the divine message has fallen might best be able to compete with the strange, foreign social problems that they must face while presenting Christ to the heathen, institutions like Olivet have been erected where they may obtain the necessary training. Here the prospective missionaries have banded themselves together into an organization, the aim of which is to do willingly, cheerfully, and with all strength necessary, everything the hands find to do. Every week an hour of fasting and prayer is observed. Each field, with its missionaries, is presented to the throne for needed blessings. How precious are these hours ! The organization is very active in many lines. At Christmas time it mailed a box containing quilts, linens, pillows, toys for the sick children, and some Chris- tian literature, to a hospital in China. It also collects all pennies and a few nickels and dimes from the student body every Friday, sending them to the work i Africa. Once every month it provides a missionary program for the N.Y.P.y thus presenting the needs of the fields to the student body and townspeople. M0. December it sponsored a missionary rally, in which the history of the Nazarene work in each field was given, the names of all missionaries, and the needs of the day. Page Fifty-Seven _jtffe Mrs $ (Jail Revival f 7 ( ' the past few years it has been the J custom to hold a revival at the begin- ning of each semester, and to close the school year with the camp-meeting, held in the tabernacle. The importance of such revivals can hardly be over-emphasized. There exist many problems in every church, school, and home, the solution of which is a real Holy Ghost re- vival. At the beginning of the school year many students come to us who have never been saved. By introducing them into an at- mosphere of prayer and supernatural mani- festation practically all of them become con- verted, and many press on to the experience of entire sanctification. The problems of disci- dr. r. t. williams pline are reduced to a minimum when the stu- dent body are all saved. For the last fall revival we were fortunate to have with us one of our general superintendents, Dr. R. T. Williams. He came to us each day with a message backed by the power of the Holy Spirit, giving us the Gospel in all of its simpli- city, purity, and loveliness. There were no catchy propositions, nor instances where, by means of pressure, the choices of the unconverted were forced. On the other hand, the claims of the Gospel were put forth with emphasis on the positive elements, with sufficient elucidation upon the negative so as to present to the minds of seekers a fair basis for choice. God backed His Word and souls found salvation. As a religious school we cannot exist without the supernatural manifestation of Divine grace in our midst. We have no excuse for existence unless we are able to supply that which other institutions cannot, namely, an atmosphere of Holy Ghost fire and fervor. Such an atmosphere we had in the last meeting. The students fell in line with the truth as it was proclaimed and practically all who were not then in an experience of grace sought and found the desire of their hearts — the Lord. — Russell Birchard. Page Fifty-Eight Spring Revival PRES. T. W. W1LUNGHAM T seemed providentially ordered that our beloved president, Rev. T. W. Willing- ham, should conduct our spring revival. Although feeling his own inability, he im- plored the help of God and the co-operation of church and school, and started in for vic- tory. It was of the old-time siege type : lay- ing a good foundation with heart-searching preaching ; allowing it to soak in, and to bring conviction to both saint and sinner. It was not so much a time of outward demonstration, of shouting and loud praying as we have had at other times, but it was the time of hearing the truth and doing it ; of seeing the light and walking in it; of getting a greater vision, and trying to measure up to it. Many of the stu- dents and citizens will never be the same af- ter this awakening. God searched our hearts and revealed Himself and His will to us, and much lasting good was accomplished. Old feelings of grudge and lack of harmony and fellowship disappeared under the white heat of the revealed love of God. Restitutions and confessions were made with tears and contrition ; differences of long standing were made right and heart unity was manifested. One home was united and made happy when the husband, who had been running from God for several years, prayed through. In answer to prayer he came to Olivet while the meeting was on ; and one night, while he sat in the back of the house, his little curly-haired girl crawled upon his lap and said, Daddy, mother is praying for you and wants you to get saved; and I do too. This was too much for him ; his heart, already aching, was broken down, and when the altar call was given he went forward. But soon he left, and after going to several to make restitution was found with his wife ringing the president ' s door bell. They went in and bowed in prayer. Brother Willingham prayed a short prayer, and this man looked to Jesus, who gloriously saved him. In his ecstasy, he exclaimed, Brother Willingham how can I ever repay you for preaching like you did to me and leading me to Jesus ? The meeting lasted four weeks. Brother Willingham started in with a heav) burden for the school and revival. He offered himself to the Lord as a sacrifice if necessary, that he might see real victory. Under the crushing load, he collapsed, and was put under the care of three doctors and a nurse. In answer to prayei of saints, God touched him and without missing a single service he toiled on tilt the meeting closed. Some students who had struggled a long time got und deep conviction and prayed through. The student pastorates and other adjonto towns were blessed greatly by this meeting. The hearts of other Christians were stirred. Truly God was with us, and is still with us, and we trust He will find in us here at Olivet an abiding place forever. — Mertie Hoo p Oe Fifty-Nine r $ 3Y(inisterial Association Livingston, Blacketer, Isbell, Richardson, Myers, McKinley, Barkley, Dawson, Morgan, Cummings, Curtis, Welsh, Schell, Boxell.

How Olivet Svangelizes (OVERY holiness college attracts numbers of students who seem to have been 7S led there by the Spirit of the Lord. They profess every kind of call, some to the mission fields, others to the pastoral or evangelistic field. Because of their call to definite Christian service, they feel a common bond and call them- selves the ministerial association. They are unorganized, have no officers, pay no dues, but are backed by the bonds of the Gospel. Although only a few of them have pastorates or specific fields of labor, all of them have a zeal to do service for the Lord. This finds expression in a varied (.service. Many of them are taking vocal lessons, and find opportunity to lead sing- ling and to sing solos at the Sunday services of our student pastors. Some have Sunday Schools, where they gather the children of some neighborhood to tell plthem of Jesus. Others make a practice of doing with their might what their hands find to do, leading prayer meetings and N.Y.P.S. services, and giving spirit filled testimonies that bless and encourage the older people. A number of the more gifted students find ample opportunity to assist in holding week-end services for some of the larger churches such as Indianapolis ; loormngton, Indiana ; Champaign, Illinois ; St. Bernice, Indiana ; Danville, £M - fjjeilifc llJKfe ?

Audrey Ric Page Sixty-Seven - jtgfe --- s dfeg mess C ©■ O be happy is the one desire common to all humanity. To be happier is a better statement, for there is no one so miserable that he has not some degree of happiness at times, enjoys some moments when he forgets to be unhappy, and looks with appreciation upon the things that are always beautiful, joyful, and free. The normal condition of man in civilized life is that of hap- piness. Life is a school ; labor and sorrow, victory and defeat, toil together as teacher; but happiness is the graduation point. Happiness is a pursuit to be followed as tirelessly as the pursuit of wisdom or of wealth. He who seeks to do God ' s will first, who puts duty before pleasure, and ranks others before himself, cannot escape the glow of happiness that comes from the sense of God ' s approval. For multitudes, unhappiness begins with doubt and questionings ; but happi- ness begins with hope. In losing our sense of leisure our generation has also lost happiness. Many have forgotten how to rest. Modern civilization is very complex, competition is keen, and life is full of fret and fever. The nervous excesses of today are respon- sible for much unhappiness and depression. Man ' s greatest opportunity is always just ahead. Happiness is behind no man. Too many brood over the failures and lost opportunities instead of pressing forward to find success and happiness. It is wrestling against the wind that works toughness into trees, and gianthood into man. Happiness falls unseen like the rain and dew ; it comes not in the flood that can only waste and destroy. Marcus Aurelius said, Be simple and modest in thy deportment, and treat with indifference whatever lies between virtue and vice. Love the human race ; obey God and happiness is yours. If then there is anything that is a gift of God to man, it is surely reasonable to suppose that happiness is the greatest divine gift, as it is the best. Benedict Arnold tells us that a union of hearts is undoubtedly necessary to happiness ; but that true and permanent happiness is seldom the effect of an alli- ance founded on a romantic passion, where fancy governs more than judgment. Friendship and esteem, founded on the merit of the object, is the most certain basis to build a lasting happiness upon. Happiness in this world, when it comes, comes incidentally. Make it the ect of pursuit and it is never attained. Follow some other object, and very possibly we may find that we have gained happiness without dreaming of it. Hap- iness is ours when he live for others and fear no evil.

M Gonimercial Students W r Estelle, Bradford, Hotle, Smith, Naomi Akers (instructor) ( V VTH the growth of the modern attitude toward education during the last (( few years, we are beginning to realize the necessity of a course of study which will enable a student to go out into life prepared to cope with the problems that will confront him. No longer is an education considered purely ornamental. Of course, it contributes to a person ' s culture, but it must do more than that. It must prepare him for life. This year the commercial department has offered courses in typewriting and shorthand. These two courses have a very practical value. Shorthand is often an avenue to the highest form of culture, and its immediate advantages are the •development of memory, accuracy, poise, precision, and self-control. Shorthand creates the ability to ass ociate the phonetically-written, with the songhand word, and thus one develops the ability to tie up into a single concept two things that look altogether different. By this the student acquires the art of earrving whole sentences in his mind regardless of other disturbances. This is good disciplinary value, which more than equals the claim made for the study foreign languages. Tvpewriting is also of disciplinary value. Muscular control, speed, and accu- cy are principles which may be applied elsewhere. Typewriting is too often ought of as purely mechanical, but it involves attractiveness in appearance and angement of letters, accurate spelling, correct punctuation, grammar, and struc- Tnd the instantaneous co-ordination between eye and hand. Commercial sub- Ire of practical and lasting value, and are of use to any student.

It has been said that worship is essentially a state of feeling rather than of thinking. The Christian enters his holy of holies when he attains a feeling of one- ness with Jesus Christ ; and this feeling often comes through the influence of music. How important to select songs that call forth love and devotion to God and not songs that appeal to the physical ; songs that are a call to prayer and not to an expression of rhythm. The depth of Christian experience may be sounded y the type of music employed. When we can get the congregations singing ngs of worship and praise, then we can feel the presence of God come upon And instead of going away feeling emptied, we leave refreshed, quickened .id renewed. It is the aim of the Olivet School of Music to educate the young people to atdeeper appreciation of the scientific and artistic side of music, so they may go rfequipped to be workmen that need not to be ashamed.

Indeed, it is considered so essential to a complete education, that it is taught in the majority of our public schools, and will soon be a regular course in all of them. The true measure of the nation ' s advancement toward the proud distinction of being a musical people does not consist in the number of operas given in New York in a season, nor in Paderewski ' s income for a single concert, but rather in the extent to which good music is becoming a necessity in the life of the com- munity. While it is true that very few are really talented in music and need never aspire to being an artist, yet it is possible for every one to learn something abou music, and thereby to qualify himself to enjoy life more, in the social, mental, an spiritual realms. If there were more real study of music there would be less love for Jazz Let us not fear, therefore, that we shall be overzealous in furthering the i terests of music, or that our time shall be wasted in the study of it ; but rather let us watch that we love it wisely ; study it broadly, and seriously ; train our percep tions to catch the whole of its meaning and not a fragment ; and strive to discover the real relation of music to life. Mrs. Irene Price Page Seventy-Seven jI - C $ e- o v£7 Jf ee (5 w . .v fit, $ Orchestra £ Gollege Qhorus OollE College Chorus, which is composed of one hundred members, is a great ■ Q factor in developing the artistic and musical disposition of its members. The Chorus is tactfully directed by Miss Naomi Wisler, who is our vocal instructor. Miss Wisler was graduated from the Trevecca School of Music. Later she studied in Chicago under Ellen Kinsman Mann and in New York under Oscar Saenger, America ' s foremost vocal coach. Each Saturday morning between nine forty-five and ten thirty o ' clock we practice some very beautiful and classical selections from noted composers. Every year we render about three cantatas ; one at Christmas time, another at Easter, and the last during Commencement week. At various times during the school year the chorus furnishes music for special religious occasions. Our Chorus is very important from the cultural viewpoint and it helps to train the mind for clear thinking and concentration. The ministerial student is especially benefited by the training received in chorus practice. He learns some very important things about rhythm, the value of notes and rests, and the treating of time, all of which enable him to better direct congregational singing. Also, everyone recognizes in himself a vast improvement in his capacity for singing. In Job we read, The morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy. Some one has said that it ought not to be necessary to wait to join heaven ' s choir before performing our part in the universal chorus, for we can begin in the Olivet Chorus in Olivet College.

But there has never been a time in the history of the world when golden opportunity offered more than it does today for every creature who is seeking after the essential elements that bring rest and peace to the soul. Hand in hand with the revolutionizing of the age, old problems of human transportation, power, and industrial chemistry, come the most progressive changes in music. Not only in composition and rhythmic expression, but in in- struments as well. There are greater craftsmen who are constantly striving by some means to instil into the hearts and minds the beauty which lies within the depth of the stringed instruments, and in the hand of the artist who possesses that Divine gift. J. R. Cain. Page Eighty-One A ji£ S M ' C j«mV ft ' - m Vr $ Expression Students he Spoken c lo)ord OoHE spoken word is man ' s surest and most sincere means of communica- f Q tion. It brings a stimulus to its auditors both through the seeing and the hearing contact. Effective speaking has an important place in every great political, social, and economic movement. The leaders in all organizations are those who have devel- oped their public speaking ability. For example, the salesman must persuade. The effectiveness with which he speaks determines his compensation. The most successful lawyers and statesmen are those who have learned to influence others through their ability as effective speakers. We find, too, that the quality of voice with which the teacher speaks has a ry direct relation to the progress of the students. And, lastly, the minister, om we will assume to be the ideal public speaker, should be able to deliver force- and impressive messages. The true delivery of a sermon is the presentation Lthe man himself along with the truth. Whitfield was perhaps the most effective eacher who has used the English tongue. But it is said that his sermons were afptiost unreadable. We recognize that words, which are but partial symbols of truth, must be accompanied by the living action and the manifestation of body and voice. To this end we strive, at Olivet, to enable the student of expression to develop iis effectiveness as a speaker by enriching the word of his mind and coupling with i£ thHanguage of the soul.

The person whom I heard speaking has the oversight of one of the largest districts of our church. He is known as a church organizer and a district builder. I knew the men about whom he was talking. They were saved and sanctified Nazarene preachers, conscientious, zealous, and industrious. There was only one fault to be found with them; they were that type . They could not in this case be recommended to the two promising places in mind, because, although they had good minds, and a fair degree of ability in the pulpit, and preached in the spirit, they lacked the cultural and educational training which the church in mind would ' emand. A college education cannot make a good preacher out of a poor stick . But it will make a good preacher a better one. A college sometimes gets the blame unjustly because a certain graduate fails to succeed. On the other hand, there is many a promising young man who misses ' his opportunity. When executive positions are to be filled, or when a well-trained or versatile man is in demand, h cannot be selected because of the label that type. The time is at hand when an educated ministry is in demand in The Churc of the Nazarene more than ever before. Our young people must get into sc ■ nd prepare for the future. Education today is not a luxury, or a side issue is a necessity. Our district and general superintendents tell us they cannofej- enough well-trained men for responsible positions.

( O HE Exclerian Literary Society is an important feature of Olivet College. I Q It is not merely a minor accessory, but it is really an asset to the school. Its intended purpose is the encouragement of intellectual and cultural development. It brings to light talent that might otherwise be hidden, and affords ample opportunity and experience for those who intend eventually to come before the public. There is nothing more critical than an audience composed of college students. If one can stand before college students and still retain that ease, con- fidence, and self-composure that are so essential to a public speaker, he should be able to face any audience and any difficulty that he may meet on the platform. Partiality is shown to no one ; everyone is given an opportunity to participate the programs. The society meets every Monday evening, to be entertained by programs that are varied in nature and that are interesting and enjoyable. All isiness meetings are directed in an orderly and business-like way. Quite often Society has parliamentary drills, which are interesting and which at the same tttne afford one a fair knowledge of rules of order and of parliamentary law. Tack Rodeffer. !

Is has embodied in its purpose the elevation of intellect, the development of talent, the drawing out of per- sonalities, and the deepening of spiritual life. The society meets each Monday evening in the college auditorium. Its pro- gram is opened with song and prayer. The contributions to the programs are made only by members of the society, unless some outsider is invited for some special purpose. This appearance before the society tends to enable the student to appear before the public. Our weekly programs have been full of life, pep, and educational accom- plishments. Here development of literary talent in writing short stories, poems, and society papers, and an appreciation of literature are obtained. Everyone is willing to undertake what he is called upon to do. Much increased interest in society activities has been added this year by t division of the organization into two political parties, viz : Tories and Whigs This has greatly increased our membership. Many young people are going out from this society each year to bless the world ; but wherever they go, they will, no doubt, look back to the time spent in the Alathian Literary Society as some of the most enjoyable and profitable hours of their school days at Olivet.

A RECENT development in civilization has been the education of women, and along with that has come the realization that to fill her place in the world the woman must be developed physically. We recognize the fact that God has given the human being a complex nature. The God-given soul should be turned toward its Creator, and nurtured in Him. The mind is a channel through which God may work. The body is the temple of the Holy Ghost, and is to be kept in good condition, so that the mind and soul may glorify their Creator more. The purpose of the Swastikans is to meet the physical need in school life an to develop the body in a clean, wholesome, and healthful way. Our club was o ganized three years ago by some of the College girls. Since that time the organi zation has grown. Hikes, outdoor breakfasts, and basket ball games are amq its activities. We hope by our organization that we may keep our bodies fit, that w| jj be of greatest service in His Kingdom.

T has been our plan to have athletics all through the year, and maintain them as a definite beneficial activity. All the equipment has been purchased by the student organizations with funds paid in by students for that purpose. This equipment is available to all who helped pay for it, which is only business- like and reasonable. Our athletic activities are made up of several groups. In the fall and spring, baseball, croquet, and tennis are much in evidence. Through the winter we have ' •asketball. In the spring we have our running and jumping in the track meet, which is one of the most interesting , most widely participated in, and most bene- ficial activities of the group. Only those who live in the dormitory, carry heavy courses, and go through e test of nerve, mind, and physical reactions, can feel and appreciate the benefits from a short period of healthful, muscle-developing, and mind-resting e derived from athletic activities.

We chose this name because of its significance. It was in the days of old Troy that the Trojans were known far and wide for their intrepidity. They fought their battles bravely and well. No matter what dangers they encountered, they fought ahead and won unprecedented victories. Each Friday night we have our regular meetings. Here we receive help spiritually and mentally, as well as physically. We have what we call our Round Table Talk led by our sponsor, Mrs. Reader. Occasionally we have refresh ments. Our principal game is basketball. But the recreation we enjoy most is t Indian Club Drill. After school three times a week some of the Trojan membe may be seen hurrying for the recreation hall to get their favorite Indian clubs Our club members are loyal, and we all respect and covet the gu our leader, Mrs. Reader.

It is training, discipline, development of energies — a school of improvement. There is not one of the cares of our daily labor but that will develop in us patience, calmness, and gentleness. Work is a great blessing. Hard work is one of the secrets of success. Nothing is impossible to the man who wills and does. A man who will not pay that price would as well quit. Work is one of the great elements of society. Some of the students are working out a part of their expenses in Olivet College. Numerous odd jobs are open to them, and they are glad to have the op- portunity to earn some money. The work is not always pleasant, but no one finds it extreme drudgery. The working students may be found singing, whistling, -ik- talking merrily with one another as they perform their tasks. Those who are orking their way, as a rule, obtain grades equal to and even above those who have much leisure time. They are the better students, by necessity of having to con- and to economize time. A bond of fellowship and love and sympathy together during the school year. Martha Robbins. = =— Sa___ Page Ninety-Four er- Twice Told Tales Miss Knop ' s Parlor Talks The Pathfinder......

BRACKEN College Athletics Sponsor e ROQUET is one of the most quiet games that can be played. Some peo- ple desire to do something for recreation, but do not find it in tennis, bas- ketball, or some of the other strenuous games. This game furnishes mental rest, physical exercise, and character develop- ment, and promotes friendliness. One may help another by saying a friendly word on the croquet court. This is not only a benefit to the person who receives encouragement, but also to the one who aids in helping another out of a dark place. While here in Olivet we have a desire for a time of leisure, and rest from our work. We are glad that this is a game which can be played readily and yet be helpful to all who participate. There are many friends won on the croquet court in Olivet. Page Ninety-Six 4 tennis tournament c lo)inners JOHN WILLINGHAM MARY SCOTT OINCE the beginning of the school, tennis has taken its place as one of the -A leading recreations of school life, although the equipment has been limited. — Such lovers of the game as McClain, Smith, Thomas, Carter, Herrell, and the Birchards, and many others, among both men and women have upheld the standards, until today we have three well equipped courts. We feel that we have not only good and adequate courts, but also players who are equal to the occasion and to the advancement of the game as well. You would feel at home with our players, for they show forth the highest type of sportsmanship to be found in college life. The vim, the pep, and the ideals of the game are still plainly in evi- dence. We are hoping that the inspiration and the zeal for such a fine game will continue into the future years, always preserving good sportsmanship. Page Ninety-Seven basket Ball 1929 MARY SCOTT Captain of Swastikans GLADYS McCALL Captain of Trojans y N Saturday evenings everyone is overcome with mental fatigue and a dis- I like for books, and is full of nervous energy that breeds homesickness, dis- couragement, and loneliness, unless it can find an outlet. Then comes the cry, Oh, for something to do! When everyone is tired of her room, and seeks pleasure elsewhere, the bas- ketball floor furnishes the needed place for enjoyment and exertion of surplus energy. Our games are played in eight minute quarters, with rest periods between. Each girl enjovs these games, where Christian fellowship is shown, where home- sickness vanishes, and where discouragements and loneliness are forgotten. Grace Brttt. rx yy) fe Montgomery, Roberts.

All of the games are begun with prayer by some member of the faculty, and to this reason among others we attribute the good Christian spirit that is manifested. A spirit of friendliness and good sportsman- ship prevails at all of our games among both the players and the spectators. It is very evident that every school needs some kind of recreation, and a means of occasionally relieving the mental strain by providing physical exercise. It is very necessary that the students should have strong bodies as well as strong- moral character. We feel that through good clean sports both of these needs can be supplied to the glory of God.

It has been proved that mental labor has a more destructive effect upon the nerves and muscles of the body than does physical labor. The student ets little or no exercise during school hours, for his time is either spent in class ■oom or in study. If a student is in a poor physical condition, his mental powers become deficient, and he will be thus hindered in his progress in school life. In the winter time one form of recreation available at Olivet is basketball. Basketball is one of the cleanest and best games for the upbuilding of the physique. It calls into play all of the muscles of the body, and it teaches the player to think quickly. jllipsTvBi regard. Birchard, Carey, D ' Arcy, Walker, Thomas, Walker, Hamer.

Page One Hundred $ Sack Evening §ees Its Glose (Continued from page 37) CA iSS DOROTHY spent this Christmas and many others, with no J Q I thought of her old father back home. Her fifty dollars came, and v- many more. She finished her college career with honors, and, as she was a pretty girl, life was bidding high for her. She was making a great suc- cess in the business world, and, as time went on, no letters were written home. Miss Dorothy ' s own pay check increased, and her father was no longer needed. She had provided a lovely home for herself, and furnished it with the finest furni- ture ; in it would have been ample room for two. This happy, carefree life was good, but it could not always last. One evening as Miss Dorothy returned from work, she was met at the door by the servant, who, placing himself across her path, said, Pardon me, Ma ' am, but is your name Dot? for she was known to the servant as Lady Vanvireman. He pulled from his pocket a torn sheet of paper and a dirty envelope. I didn ' t mean to open it, ma ' am, but I couldn ' t make out the address. It bears bad news, ma ' am, and if you want me to I will take you to the train at once. Dorothy grabbed the letter and ran past him, and up the stairs. When she reached her room she read it hastily, and then tore it up. She was white and breathless ; her heart seemed almost to stop beating. She threw a few needed articles into her bag, and was gone. A few minutes later the train was bearing her rapidly in a direction in which she had not gone for more than ten years. She had not even written for the past seven years ; and now — could it be that she was too late? Every chug of the engine seemed only to say, forgot. I ' ve been busy, she said in a half whisper, I couldn ' t have gotten away before ; besides, there wasn ' t anything back there for me. Two o ' clock the next morning found her standing by her father ' s bed. But as the midnight hour has finished life ' s brief story for so many, so it had for him. Toiling, rejoicing, sorrowing, Onward through life he goes, Each morning sees a task begun. Each evening sees its close. On the table lay a sheet of paper, which bore these words, his last message : Someone to love me, Dot, that ' s all. She read them over, and, putting her hands to her face, she knelt by the bed side, and turned her face toward heaven and prayed : O God, forgive me. I had a little cozy home once, and a father who l ove me ; I have broken his heart. I have thought only of myself. O God, f org To thee I ' ll return, overburdened with care, The heart ' s dearest solace will smile on me there : No more from that cottage again will I roam; Be it ever so humble there ' s no place like home.

I am well and have en- joyed the trip very much. The presence of the Lord has certainly been with us, for which we do thank Him. We are having a wonderful trip. Miss Cox was sick a few days at first, from a cold and seasickness too, but seems to be feeling real well now. I find Miss Creators and Miss Cox very fine ladies to travel with. We arrived in Southampton, Wednesday, and went to London for the two nights and a day that we had to wait before sailing to Cape Town. We had a nice time in London. Went to Madame Tussague Wax works, and to Westminster Abbey, where we saw the grave of David Livingston. This scripture verse, Other sheep I have which are not of this fold, was inscribed in the tablet in the floor over his burial place. Tuesday morning we arrived at the Maderia Island. We did not go ashore. The natives brought their wickerwork and embroidery on board to sell. They had very beautiful work. They say we will be in the tropics tomorrow. We will be glad to have a little warm weather as it has been very cold. No heat in our rooms. I will close, leaving my testimony, that God ' s will was never more precious to me than tonight.

I arrived home on January 8, 1929. My, it was great to walk in home after a journey of over 11,000 miles in five weeks ' time. Truly I feel as did the psalm- ist David, when he said, The angel of the Lord encampeth around about them that love him. It was wonderful to feel his protecting power around about me on land or sea, in calm or storm. His voice is all we need to hear, Peace be still. We have received a great welcome in Africa. We received many telegrams and greetings before leaving the steamer in Cape Town, December 31st. It is about 1,300 miles from Cape Town to Bremersdorp. We had a royal welcome in Johannesburg, stopping there a few days. Dr. Hynd, Miss Munro, and little Samuel Hynd met us, (Miss Cooper and me), about nine miles out and took us off a bus and brought us in. They had the American flag up waving for us. As we came into the grounds the churr bell began ringing. We met Mrs. Hynd and Miss Martin; then the native Chrio. tians gathered around and sang us welcome to Africa. My, what a time I had. Now I am going to have another time grettin? the la-ng uage. Blessing on every one that helped me to Africa, for I am happy here in the Master ' s service. We had a great day on Sunday the 13th at the church here. Have seen fifteen precious souls pray through to victory in the last few days. Remember to pray for me. Yours for Africa, Anna LEE Cox.

No great personality is developed in a crowd. ■ ' • ' ■ There ' s no way of becoming Christlike but by takingftime to fellowship with Him. We are judged, to a great extent, by our margin; ; of conversation, A man who cannot get along with his neighbor is not an educated man. One of the important things in taking the drudgery out of life is to know how to fellowship. Our attainments in life are determined very largely by our purposes. Right attitude toward wrong is a basic principle to any man who expects to prosper. Instead of being creatures of circumstance we are to be creators of circumstance. Be loyal to your country, be loyal to your school, but above all be loyal to Jesus Christ. When a person is discouraged he cannot be at his best. Sttoliness (Continued from page 38) does to the body. To be holy does not mean that one is to live in a strained con- dition with clenched fists as though it were something he had against his will. It consists of peace that comes from having the heart truly adjusted to God. To live right because you want to live right is the goal of every truly sanctified person. To be sanctified is to live unmoved amidst the world ' s strife ; to be possessed with a joy that is free in all circumstances; to be rich without money; to serve under the constraints of love; to be more than conqueror; to be completely satisfied with the provisions and requirements of Christ; to truthfully say that His yoke is easy and His burden light. Marie Phillips. 9ii ci pp mess (Continued from page 68) When the motto, Fearlessness , becomes embroidered upon the banners of all our religious and other organizations ; when, Freedom from Fear , becomes the slogan of reform ; and when appreciation and love are admitted to the council of men ; then, and only then, will famine end, selfishness fade, misery depart, and happiness become enthroned as the ruler of a joyously industrious and universall prosperous people. Grace Britt. Page One Hundred Five __ J§g£. OHE attainment of ultimate success in any project requires hearty co-opera- IQ tion and consisten t effort on the part of everyone involved. In fact, the old saying is still true that Whatever is worth doing at all is worth doing well. The publication of a college annual again verifies this statement. Realizing that the Aurora is the best advertising medium which our school has, and since it has been our desire to publish a volume which will be an inspiration to the young people of our constituency, we have exerted every effort to make the stand- ard of this book the highest possible. In this effort we have not labored alone, for there is a large number of friends to whom we owe a debt of gratitude, be- cause they, by their financial assistance, have made possible the publication of this volume of the Aurora. The members of the faculty and student body have given valuable aid, and it has been a pleasure to work with them. The Aurora subscript ion contest was a success, due to the fact that the opposing sides entered into it with vigor and enthusiasm. We desire to use this method of expressing to our advertisers our sincere appreciation for the hearty co-operation and financial support which they have given. The advertising is the life of the book. We trust that the members of the school and community will, in return, give patronage to these men who have so loyally assisted us. We wish the highest success to the business manager of the Aurora for 1930. The task of producing a book of this nature involves many difficulties, and requires the solution of many perplexing problems ; but the satisfaction of having had a part in such a worthy project far out-weighs the obstacles which must be faced.
