We are now at the end of another year. As we look back wc can. see how we have failed to grasp some opportunities that have presented themselves to us: how we have planned on doing better work but have never fulfilled these plans. As schoolmates we have had many pleasant times together, but these times are now of the past, they are now mem cries of things that have been. During our stay here at Bethel Academy we have possibly met friends that shall never be forgotten altho we arc now parting, never to meet again, or even hear their names mentioned. These days have been days that we are not now able to fully appreciate. Cutting Across. We are so prone to take the shortest way heme, to work, when we are late, to win favor, when we forget ourselves. never realizing that every corner that we cut across we are not only tres- passing but we are making our own sphere smaller, our minds narrower, our capacity for a larger scope impossible. If it is a. large boulder that we find in our way by all means remove it but if it is a beautiful flowerbed that we are walking over, stop, think, we are stepping on flowers, we are putting our rough heel on them, killing them. How often we do the same with our conscience when it troubles us. We step on it in order to gain our object sooner (we think) than by following the true course around the corner—and gain whatever wo may, honestly. Be On Time. That is one of the habits that everyone should strive to attain. Get. it now and keep it; it’s worth more than most of us realize. On time lor your recitations, on time to your work, on time in filling your dates: always there when you are supposed to be there and the world Cont. on page S4.

12 THE ACORN TRUST WORK uhf HU'lujimui Unthtnui'n in tlir Srtl)?! Aradntuj C. Geo. E—n Most likely many are asking themselves and others: “What influence has religion upon the students in a school like Bethel?” or “What attitude toward religion does the spirit of the school as a whole take? Questions like these are entitled and therefore a little information will probably interest the friends of the school and especially those who have sons and daughters here. It is evident that among a hundred itudents different elements are existing and more so where all are not professing Christians. Even if the not Christians” are model young men and women, their spirit will never be fully in harmony with the Christians’. The majority will have the best chance to be the domineering. We are glad to report that as far as the Christians are concerned they are more and merely predominating in Bethel Aca- demy. In the whole student body 37 are aiming for some kind of religious work, cither on the homefield-or on the foreign field. But besides them there is a groat number professional Christians who are net preparing for any special work in this line. What an influence a group of young men and women with a missionary spirit in their bosom exercise upon the rest of the young people can not here be estimated. It is shown thru the various societies and individuals. Besides the three societies (Missionary Band, Ministerial Student's Ass’n., and Student Volunteers) which have for their purpose the uplifting and developing of the spiritual side of the students, the leading members of the other socities are active Christian workers. This to show the influence they have in the different organization. Cont. on page 21
