OSCAf J. FINCH FRANK J KEMENDO PRESIDENT BUSINESS MANAGER May 1, 1947 To the Students of Bethaiiy-Peniel College: Today we are participating in privileges that have been purchased for us by others. Yie are the beneficiaries of a rich legacy, the treasures of which will become increasingly meaningful with the passing of the years. The friendships which we have formed are deep in their significance. In most instances, these friendships have been formed because of the appre- ciation of the real worth of the sterling character found in one another. In any event, the significance of our college relationships will become more and more apparent as many grow and develop in Christian grace and usefulness and as they become responsible leaders in their respective fields of service. Our teachers are rendering priceless service. Years of toil and study have qualified them to lead us past the guagmire of error to the gateways of truth. Sound Christian character, an appreciation of true life and of real values, and the element of sacrificial service, which motivates their work, has given these teachers a genuine concern for those in whom they are endeavoring to make such worthwhile investment. Time will enhance the value which we place upon the godly life and the priceless counsel which each of them has given us The value of study, the import of courses, the impact of the college chapel, the influence of friends, the worship of the church and the guidance of our leaders will be revealed in their true worth as we draw upon the strength which they have contributed to our lives or as we find ourselves weak be- cause of our failure to have properly appreciated and stored these riches. May we at once, if we have not already done so, make such personal adjust- ment as will enable us in life ' s eventide to review with gratityde, and without embarrassment, the pages of this record which our efficient AERCW staff lias given us. Sin efely you friend and servant, { . OJF:bd (far J. FindliVrPresident CHARACTER • CULTURE • CHRIST
