We who are today in boot camp will one day go out to the front lines of the fight. The sheltered atmosphere of school environment will be gone. The air will be filled with the missiles of the enemy. Then we will thank God for the strength and wisdom gained here. Today we are learningg tomorrow we will come to grips with the issues of life. Ours is not the carnal warfare of-nations, but the basic war that is,back of all wars, national and inter- national. The challenge is to prepare well, for sin and ignorance generaled by Satan are not easy foes to conquer. -The world of today is broken into a hundred segments by class hatreds, political hatreds, race hatreds, sin, ignorance, war and destruction. All these are tools of the enemy. .As soldiers of the cross our warfare consists in relieving these situations with the power of the Gospel. The Gospel is the hope of the world, the solution to every problem. Let us go out from boot camp in the tomorrows to serve bravely in tl1e fightg relieving the suffering, comforting the sorrowing, and bringing to the lost the news of Salvation. Yes, tomorrow we face the battles, but with Christ we can be more than conquerors. .Z 5 l 33 if . ps l 'Z T F- U A li ii 3 E ll I EQ, xr 1. 'I-realty . ' is - 1' l ' s In ' f- 4. fu lr .

T oday We Prepare . . . The Bible emphasizes the fact that the Christian life is a warfare. Those who claim the name of Christ must face the fire of the enemy sooner or later. Since it is fatal to go into battle unprepared, God has provided places of training where His recruits may prepare themselves for the battles to come. As college students we are in Boot Camp of life. Here we are to learn the effective use of the spiritual weapons with which God has provided us. Perhaps there have been hard lessons, of discipline and perse- verance, difficult spiritual calesthenics, and the learning that our own will must be subordinated to the will of a Higher Being, but if properly mastered these lessons will produce the muscles and energy for the battles ahead. This year at boot camp has been a memorable one in every respect, and in the years to come we will look back with pleasure even upon the things which now seem difficult. The time has not been wasted. These experiences have prepared us mentally, culturally, socially, morally, spiritually and physically to meet the challenge of tomorrow.
