Religion in its purity, is not so much a pursuit as a temper; or rather it is a temper, leading to the pursuit of all that is high and holy. Its foundation is faith ; its action, works ; its temper, holiness ; its aim, obedience to God in improve- ment of self and benevolence to men. LESTER RICHARDSON, A.B., B.D. Indianapolis, Ind. There is something in the nature of things which the mind of man, which reason, which human power cannot effect, and certainly that which produces this must be better than man. What can this be but God? I The time has arrived when the Church of the Nazarene may no longer look to the other evangelic denominations for its full quota of pastors, evangelists, or District and General officers. If we are to have Nazarenes with the distinguishing stamp of fire and holy fervor upon them, we must make them ourselves in an atmosphere charged with the presence of the Holy Spirit. It is now seldom possible to find men from the older denominations, however spiritual they may be, who will fit in with the aggressive program of the younger church. If the Church of the Nazarene is to have manpower for its increasingly complex organization, such must be sup- plied from her young people, trained in her own institutions. The Seminary department of Olivet College is the proper place for such training. The situation of the school in the midst of the great old Chicago Central district, makes Olivet a center of religious activity in both Church and school. The advantages to be found in association with such leaders in their respective fields as E. O. Chalfant and W. G. Schurman, as well as contacts made with our board of trustees and visiting pastors is hardly to be overestimated. In the personnel of our Seminary faculty we feel that we have cause to feel justly proud. In Dr. Wm. G. Heslop we feel that we have a Bible teacher who is without a peer in his field. Schooled in English and American schools and univer- sities he has worked out his degrees of Doctor of Sacred Literature and Doctor of Divinity, without allowing his education to dampen his zeal or choke the springs of his spiritual life. The studies of the Bible which are brought to us are a revela- tion of what it is possible to acquire by systematic and persistent study of the Bible itself. In Prof. L. B. Smith we have a man well fitted to direct us in the study of New Testament Greek and Philosophy. Not satisfied with having worked out his Bachelor of Divinity and Master of Arts degrees, he is enrolled with the Graduate School of the University of Chicago, where he keeps up with the present day trends of Greek Testament, Psychology and Philosophy. Not only is he a scholar but he is insistent that high standards of experiencial religion be main- tained. These men with the rest of our able faculty make the work in the Semi- narv department highly desirable to the graduate student who expects to make his mark in the Church of the Nazarene. Although a relatively new department of our College, the Seminary has the very brightest of prospects for a great future of usefulness. Already it is proving a drawing card to students of oilier departments and with the financial and numerical support which il so well deserves it should soon occupy a prominent place in the w hole Nazarene movement.

Hertenstein ' s message, Sunday night, Jan. 11, 1931.) (Piano plays low muttering chords signifying an approaching storm.) Iii the stern old Rocky Mountains Brewed a storm one summer night, And the air was calm, oppressive, Like a lion crouched for fight. Dark and threat ' ning hung the storm clouds Thunders muttered, lightnings flashed All the landscape seemed but waiting For the fury of the blast. (Piano plays heavy chords, Storm in all its fury.) Now the storm in all its anger On the land bursts with a dash With the fearful flash of lightning- Clouds are riven — thunders crash. And the tempest in its madness Sweeps o ' er all the country round. ' Till it seems to have no mercy. There can be no refuge found. (.Piano — Home, Sweet Home. ) There upon the mountain hillside Is a humble cottage home. Standing there all unprotected For its safety, there seems none. But a light streams from the window Casting forth, a cheery ray In the face of that great tempest On that mountain bleak and gray Look inside the little cottage, Not much earthly treasure there. No fine furnishings to grace it, Yet is it a home of prayer. ' Tis a home where God is honored And his word is read — obeyed. ' Midst the storm His voice of comfort Speaks to them, Be not afraid. There ' s the middle-aged father Head is he of this good home, And the sweet-faced wife and mother Rules a queen upon a throne, Children three, are playing ' round them, Ruddy bids with sparkling eye They arc fearing not die tempest For they trust in God mi high. ontinued i m I ' age 62) Pai e Forty Colors — Old Rose and Silver Flower — American Beauty Motto — The higher you climb, the grander the view.

' (W Fifty Called Missionaries McCoy, Surbrook, Helton, Phillips, Bagwill, DeWitt, Shook Whitcanak, McDaniels, Wilcoxen, Mellert, Greenlee, Sailor To China, Japan, Africa, India! Called to go into all the world and preach the gospel. Ambassadors are we of the Heavenly King, the Lord of Hosts, the Omnipotent Jehovah. Messengers sent to the lands He created — to the people He loves. Not with a mere message of diplomatic import, but one of eternal worth, the value of which cannot be fathomed by human intellect. Only angels can comprehend the magnitude of this message and in their perfect reverence and devotion would gladly perform this task so often spurned by men. But in His Omniscience, God has chosen human clay. How great a task and how much greater the purpose of the task ! What can be the message the Eternal God is sending to benighted souls ? Can the Holy Creator of Heavens, the Author of Beauty and Peace, be interested in these ignorant, dirty, diseased, devilish creatures who have polluted the earth with their vileness? Yes, and the interest He holds in them is in harmony with His sublime divinity. It is boundless, unfathomed, yet clear and simple so that a wayfaring- man though a fool need not err therein. We are not left to vague finite words to express our ambassadorship, — the Infinite has said, For God so loved the world that he gave His only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life. This is the sacred message we are to carry to those whom God loved — a mes- sage of love and sacrifice. It is a duty dI ' the most profound responsibility. Human genius and ability arc incapable of succeeding.

Birchard, Blacketer Thomas, Morgan, Schneider, Schneider, Hoot, Reader Olivet College is known among the leaders of our church as the school that produces preachers, and we are glad for the priviledge of being in such a school, under such a preacher as our good President Willingham and our Bible teacher, Dr. Heslop. Every Sunday about fifteen student pastors go to different appointed churches within driving distance. The day is spent in conducting song services, singing special songs, preaching to hungry hearts, and praying souls through to definite Victory. Many churches are blessed and helped, and scores of people have sought God at their altars already this year. God has wonderfully blessed the efforts of these students, and although the financial remuneration is small, they feel well rewarded for their efforts. Many students attend colleges and seminaries, devote all their time in the study of schoolbooks and after they, have received their diplomas, find they have broken their connections with God and grown lean in their souls. The only way for a christian to keep up to par in his experience is to keep up in his prayer life, read the Bible as much as possible and keep busy in the Lord ' s work — Be about our Father ' s business. The student pastors realize this and accordingly get practical experience. Adam Clarke says: The way to preach is to preach. The accumulated riches of years of holy living, prayer, and consecratec service are here to be drawn upon. So, equipped with the best that Olivet cai give them, they go forth preaching the unsearchable riches of Jesus Christ wit a sincere desire in their hearts that God may be glorified. We sincerely believe that it might be said of them as it was said of the apostles of Christ: And they went forth aud preached everywhere, the Lord working with them. Pray for our Student Pastors. — Albert B. Schneider. Page Fifty-three If Heaven would reward men every thirty days many more would serve God; but this would destroy faith and trust. Character is made by working towards a far-off unseen goal. Because God is slow to reward, many fall by the way and will serve Satan for immediate sinful pleasures. Their natures soon become withered as Jonah ' s gourd and that fixedness of soul and purpose is lacking. It takes a real experience to be willing to grow slowly and if necessary, let God give the increase in the next world. Many will never have a pay day in life, yet will believe God and because of that the Great Rewarder will double Heaven ' s pay check. Abraham served God for ultimate rewards. He found the possession of God was enough for earth. As someone has said, To find Him in everything, and everything in Him, is to be at rest. So what cared this Old Testament example for merely- outward success or ease. If the full realization of rewards were a mite slow that did not hinder his trust and confidence. So many are at the mercy of externals. Lot wanted his reward in time and cash. His wise wandering uncle was willing to pass by the gains of this world, leave his father ' s house and look for a city whose builder and maker is God. Young people : as you go from Olivet College, don ' t let the worldly spirit of our generation grip you. The rewards for life and character are always bestowed in time. Keep your faces upward toward the peakes. Trust God. Ease, success and well watered valleys will tempt. Be willing to let God reward. If He gives you laurels in life, accept them with humble appreciation. But if He does iot lift you up in life, never forget the same God that will punish the unfaithful will bless and reward the faithful in eternity. The motive of His proving you is that you may be strengthened. He puts us into His Gymnasium to improve our physique.

The Gateway of Songs (Mrs. H. H. Price, Dean of Music Department) On that night of nights, the greatest message ever listened to by mortal ears was set to music. Glory to God in the Highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men, was the angel song. Down through the ages, the most beautiful thoughts have often been con- veyed in this way. It is due to the fact that where mere words often reach only the mind, the send itself is touched when they are accompanied by music. (Continued on Page 76) Page Seventy-one GIRL ' S GLEE CLUB The Creator has endowed us with the marvelous faculty of speech, not that it might perform the service of a mere dead machine, but that correctly cultivated it might give emphasis and spiritual effect to our language. Good expression cannot take the place of thought, but it can render thought attractive and impres- sive. The spoken language bears a distinct relation to the significance of the words which compose it. A sentiment expressing volumes of thought, through misplaced emphasis or lack of force, may be changed to mere empty words. Again, it may be expressed in such a manner as to neither add to nor detract from the ordinary meaning of the words. Or else, the same words may be spoken so as to not only express the idea contained but to impress that idea upon the mind and heart of the listener. It is this ability that the ministers of the Gospel need to acquire. Not only what a preacher says but the manner in which he says it has much to do with the success of his message. It is the chief purpose of the Expression department of Olivet College to enable young men and women to cultivate a manner of delivery that will be both pleasing and powerful. This we feel cannot be accomplished by the acquisition of mere affected elocution but by the development of the ability to correctly give expression to our own individuality. We are confident that in Mrs. Willingham we have not only an efficient instructress in this art, but also an upright Christian character that ever spurs us onward to our goal : an efficient and effective delivery to be used to the glory of God - —Edith C. Kern. THE GATEWAY OF SONG (Continued from Page 71) The education of the Greek youth was not considered complete unless he understood music, and with them music was never disassociated from poetry. This holds true in many of our schools today. The best educated boy or girl is the one who not only merits his academic diploma, but a music diploma as well. One of our best known College Presidents said that the study of music rightlv taught, is the best means for developing the mind. The report from our schools is unanimous that the music pupils are generally the ones who are doing the best work in other subjects. There is something about the study of music that sharp- ens the intellect. Some people are hungry for music, and it is the duty of our schools to satisfy that desire. We, as the Department of Music in this school are endeavoring to do this, by teaching and providing good music. Many people think of all music as good, but this is a mistake. It is here that the schools have an opportunity for cultivating a taste for the beautiful. It is by leaping the Best that one learns to know and to love the best. It is during ic formative period that taste is being developed, and when one grows wearv of the sordid things of lilt ' , then it is, if he has the right taste, that he can enter into a higher atmosphere through music. Through good music the mind is cultivated, new ideals created and through lal stillness comes a desire to accomplish tllinSTS worth while.

Page Seventy-nine STATE CLUBS From the time a child is born he seeks for means to express himself. At first his methods of expression are confusing and bewildering, but as he watches others he adopts their code and no longer expends energy needlessly. As the child grows into youth and manhood, he acquires new words and expands his knowl- edge in order to communicate intelligently with his associates. Such is the experience of a Freshman in College. He finds that he is in a new atmosphere to which he must adapt himself. At first, he makes blunders and does many unnecessary things in his effort to find his place and to conduct himself in accordance with polite society. In his struggles he finds the Excelerian Literary Society his friend. It labors toward the best interests of the students and helps them to rectify their mistakes. Benefiting by the constructive criticism given by the Parliamentarian, he improves and finds that he can express himself with a more graceful mien. He is taught to think quickly and concisely by being called upon to debate or to give an im- promptu speech. He has the privilege of hearing not only educators of Olivet College, but also those of other colleges who lecture to the society. Because of the work of refining and educating its members, the Excelerian Society is an asset to Olivet. Meetings are held every Monday evening, and each program is very educational, surely A word spoken is like apples of gold in pic- tures of silver. — Prov. 25:11. — Louise Calhoun. The H ouse By the Side of the Road There are hermit souls that live withdrawn In the place of their self-content. There are souls like stars, that dwell apart Tn a fellowless firmament; There are pioneer souls that Maze their paths Where highways never ran — But let me live by the side of the road And be a friend to man. Let me live in a house by the side of the road Where the race of men go by — The men who are good and the men who are bad As good and as bad as I. J would not sit in the scorner ' s seat Or hurl the cynic ' s ban — Let me live in a house by the side of the road And be a friend to man. I see from my house by the side of the road By the side of the highway of life The men who press with the ardor of hope The men who are faint with the strife. But 1 turn not away from their smiles nor their tears Both parts of an infinite plan — Let me live in a house by the side of the road And be a friend to man. I know there are brook gladdened meadows ahead And mountains of wearisome height; That the road passes on through the long afternoon And stretches away to the night. And still I rejoice when the travelers rejoice And weep with the strangers that moan Nor live in my house by the side of the road Like a man who dwells alone. Let me live in a bouse by the side of the road Where the race of men go by — They are good, they are bad, they are weak, they are strong Wise, foolish — so am 1.

I ' age Hiyhty two Girl ' s Athletics Beloved, I pray that in all things thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth — III John:2 The apostle spoke the above words of advice to Gaius as he went out to labor for the Master. It seems to me that we should apply this verse of scripture to ourselves and develop our bodies as fit temples of the Holy Ghost. The education of women is a recent development in civilization. Along with that thought has come the realization that in order to keep our bodies from becoming sluggish and our minds inactive, we must forget our studies and class- rooms and rest our minds and bodies by engaging in some kind of clean, vigorous, physical exercise. With a good, strong, healthy body, we are able to do more in the spiritual realm, the highest aim for which we are striving. With this thought preeminent in mind, a College Girl ' s Athletic Association, the Swastikans, was organized about five years ago. Competitive with this club the High School Girls grouped themselves under the name of Trojans. During the fall and winter months, the principal features of each organization are hikes, basket ball, tennis, and physical exercises. In the spring a great deal of time is spent in training and drilling in running, jumping, base ball throwing, etc. Usually the first Saturday in May is devoted to Campus Day at which time the boys and girls participate in various kinds of track activities. Thus the school life of the girls is filled with spiritual, mental and physical activities which tend to produce well-developed and cultured persons. We feel that we are honoring and pleasing our Creator by keeping our bodies in the best possible condition in order that we can be of the most service to hu- manity and to our Dord. — Ruth Howe. IF For Girls If you can hear the whispering about you And never yield to deal in whispers too ; If you can bravely smile when loved ones doubt you And never doubt in turn what loved ones do; If you can keep a sweet and gentle spirit In spite of fame or fortune, rank or place, And though you win your goal or only near it Can win with poise or lose with equal grace ; If you can meet with Unbelief, believing And hallow in your heart a simple Creed; If you can meet Deception, undeceiving And learn to look to God for all you need ; If you can be what girls should be to mothers : Chums in joy and comrades in distress, And be unto others as you ' d have the others Be unto you — no more, and yet, no less ; Faye Biyhty-three If you can keep within your heart the power To say that firm unconquerable NO ; If you can brave a present shadowed hour Rather than yield to build a future woe ; If you can love, yet not let loving master But keep yourself within your own self ' s clasp, And let not dreaming lead you to disaster, Nor Pity ' s fascination loose your grasp ; If you can lock your heart on confidences Nor ever needlessly in turn confide ; If ycu can put behind you all pretenses Of mock humility or foolish pride; If you can keep the simple, homely virtue Of walking right with God — then have no fear That anything in all the world can hurt you — And — which is more — you ' ll be a Woman, dear. There should be a place for athletics in the life of every student. Football, basketball, baseball or tennis are not only for the few who play the games. Ath- letics should be and can be for all. Your success will be measured by the health and strength that you gain. A good sport is the fellow who is not only a good winner, but a good loser. He is not only capable of accepting a defeat without whining, but of experiencing without crowing. A good sport can be depended upon. He will do his best, he abides by the rules of the game, his motives are unselfish — he plays for the school or for his team. Good sportsmanship is only another gain we receive through athletic training. L,et us each one by training our bodies prepare for a life of greater happiness to ourselves and of greater unselfishness to others. In all our activities have the purpose of glorifying God. WORKING STUDENTS Man must work. That is certain as the sun, but he may work grudgingly or he may work gratefully ; he may work as a man or he may work as a machine. There is no work so rude, that he may not exalt it ; no work so impassive, that he may not breathe a soul into it ; and no work so dull that he may not enliven it. — H . Giles. Many of the students in Olivet College have found it necessary to work in order to pay their way through school. This work is not a drudgery, but it makes our school work much more interesting. The more we put into a thing the more we will receive from it, so we, the working students, get something from our school work that others do not. We appreciate our education because we work for it. ■ — Mildred Wort pi. CHRISTIAN WORKERS W r e are told in the Scriptures that God has chosen the small things to con- found the mighty. So often we see a great work that has been accomplished in the Kingdom, but overlook the workers. Many times the quiet deeds of greatness are passed over unnoticed. Here we wish to pay tribute to the worthy band of young men and women called the Christian Workers. Every Sunday a large number of young people go out to proclaim the glorious gospel of Jesus Christ. Some go out to preach, some to sing, and others to spread the Gospel by personal work. These young men and women, filled with a burning zeal for the cause of Christ and a holy love for the Master, do an even greater work in radiating a Christian influence through love. lis is no small tas of fifty miles. .Sunday Not only are church services meetings and street meetings.

Why in the world can ' t they let a fellow sleep? Yelling ike that at three o ' clock in the morning. Oh, for some water— I ' d sure drown em Despite all protests, the determined Army kept to their march for the next two hours, led by their band, and frequently singing Army Must Shine Tonight and yelling for the benefit of the would-be sleeping sailors. This was the first of several events that made up the Aurora contest this vear The Army under the direction of General Jimmy Strickler, Red Cross Nurse Louise Calhoun, and Private Secretary Naomi Akers, held the fort while the Navy, piloted by Admiral Lyle Reese, Assistant Admiral Fonda Field, and Private Secretary Jennie Preston kept their sailors tugging at the oars. It all started Wednesday, October 8, with Aurora Staff in charge of Chapel. Sides were chosen, plans explained and discussed, small cardboard soldiers and sailors given out, and then the battle was on. After the Army ' s early morning session, the Navy made its first appearance in the form of a parade concluding it with the cremation of the Army Dummy. The soldiers, however, rallied the next day and while their band played I he Star Spangled Banner, the American flag was hoisted. Various things followed among which was a very clever parade put on by the Navy. Preceeded by a very colorful balloon drill, forming arches and circles, was a funeral procession. A long, slim, black coffin carried the unfortunate Army. Next came the Infantry, (a girl in a baby buggy), then the Cavalry, (a saw horse), and last, a wheel barrow with a pig, labeled I ' m rootm ' for the Navy. The chapel and dining room did not escape the contestants. A large ship ' s helm protruded from the Organ, while a small airplane flew over it. It was said that the steamer operated from the hot air of the airplane, and added that the Navy was leaning on the Army for the ammunition. The dining room harbored a large white boat equipped with life-savers, smoke-stacks, and a fog-horn. A few feet awav on dry land, stood the Army ' s tent and a couple of wagon wheels with a stove pipe representing a cannon, a battered basketball nearby represented the shell. It was a good contest. An unusual amount of originality and cleverness was shown by the stunts. Everything from incense for the Navy ' s smoke-stack to a marathon letter writing contest was used to stimulate interest. The battle was certainly fought hard with a good spirit. Both the soldiers and sailors fought admirably well — but the Army won. After the basketball games of Saturday, October 31, were both won by die Army boys and girls, the results of the contest were announced. The soldiers had out-sold the sailors by a hundred and two books, so the Army brought home the bacon ! The following Monday, the losing side, the Navy, in keeping with the old tradition, entertained the others with an all-day picnic, which all agreed was well- earned by the hard-working soldiers. — Nelda Holland. CHRISTIAN WORKERS (Continued from Page 86) The value of the work done by these consecrated young people can not be estimated here. The seeds of love and hope sown today will no doubt yield a rich harvest in days to come. The number of souls saved and saints blessed is encouraging today but in the Great Day of Reckoning the true value of it all will be made plain and each shall receive his just reward. — Ada Makik Fishkr.

Pane Our Hum The Al umni Association CARL S. McCLAIN President SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM The Alumni association of Olivet College last year had an active membership of one hundred twenty-six. These alumni are loyal boosters of their Alma Mater and are seeking to further the interests of Olivet College in every way possible. At the last reunion a memorial service was held for Miss Elsie Muse, an Olivet Alumnus who died on the Indian Mission field, March 12th of last year. At the annual dinner Dr. R. T. Williams addressed the association, including in his speech reminiscences of his visits with our missionary alumni on the foreign field. The association at this reunion inaugurated a plan for providing scholarships at Olivet College. This plan has succeeded to the extent that two hundred fifty do llars has been contributed this year for scholarship funds by subscription. This is divided into three scholarships, — an individual scholarship of fifty dollars, granted this year, and two one hundred dollar scholarships for next year. One of these is a memorial to Miss Muse. The other is a Chicago Central district scholarship provided by Alumni of the district. It is hoped that this amount will be increased from year to year. The plan has great possibilities for the future, as the associa- tion continues to increase in membership. The expenses involved in raising and advertising scholarship funds are paid out of the annual dues so that there is no shrinkage in funds sub- scribed for scholarship purposes. The amount raised this year, while not as large as was expected, is not a bad beginning. Most of the money was contributed in ten and five dollar subscriptions, though there was one individual subscription of fifty dollars. Olivet Alumni are loyal alumni and wish to be lively represented in any and all movements to- ard advancing the interests of their Alma ater. —Carl S. McOain.

One of these is a memorial to Miss Muse. The other is a Chicago Central district scholarship provided by Alumni of the district. It is hoped that this amount will be increased from vear to vear. CARL S. McCXAIN Frestdent The plan has great possibilities for the future, as the associa- tion continues to increase in membership. The expenses involved in raising and advertising scholarship funds are paid out of the annual dues so that there is no shrinkage in funds sub- scribed for scholarship purposes. The amount raised this year, while not as large as was expected, is not a bad beginning. Mosl of the money was contributed in ten and five dollar subscriptions, though there was one individual subscription of fifty dollars. yV Olivet Alumni are loyal alumni and wish to be £ tively represented in any and all movements to- il v W n ' ' ' u ' vanc ' n £ e interests of (heir Alma V| Mlatcr. v. 1 — Cai ' (.
