 Intermediate “For the things which are seen arc temporal; but the things which arc not seen are eternal.'’ We evaluate our existence according to the conception we have of what arc fundamental realities in it. There arc those who build their philosophies of life with the things seen by the eyes, heard with the cars, and touched by the hands as the centers of thinking. They let the material environment determine the manner of living, and work with a missionary fervor for a realization of the Utopian hope of material prosperity for all men. There arc others who believe that “life is more than food, and the body than the raiment, and that the things not seen by the eyes, nor heard by the ears, nor touched by the hands arc the fundamentals. They look forward to a consummation of the present order of things, when spiritual knowledge will be the possession of all men in the Kingdom of God. We who arc theological students would like to classify ourselves with the latter group. We believe that the things which arc seen, though they too arc God's gifts and of vital importance to us, arc only temporal, and that there are inner realities which arc unseen but eternal. We accept as fundamental those words of Jesus, “Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and having yielded to their truth would let them mould our lives. We would also seek our work in a place where our efforts might count the most in making this truth a vital part of the lives of other men. For that purpose we arc here at school. We study things both seen and unseen, but pray for the spirit of discernment to evaluate correctly the issues involved. We would vow a thousand truths in order to better understand the One truth. We would be taught in all the verities of the faith, so that through us, by example and by precept, God's message may become a saver of life unto many souls. € $
