He has been a real friend lo the class and has given his best to it. . Is we leave Bethel and go to our various callings, we shall be better persons for hating been under his influence. As we think of him we shall be inspired to better things. Message to the Senior Class WE arc told of a young sculptor who had been working painstakingly on an equestrian statue—a man on horseback. The work finished, the artist called in a friend, a connoisseur, to express his critical opinion. The older man viewed the piece of art for a moment, then voiced his approval in just two words: Forward march! The statue was all but alive. As we look upon the Class of '29 we see a group of young people, half a hundred, throbbing with lire! They are strong and they are ambitious and they are ready to go. Forward march! But Quo Yadis? Whither away? Where are they going? O Senior Class of 1929, where will you be twenty years from now? Where do you want to be? If you “want to'’ enough that deep desire will be a dynamic to bring you there. it would be beautiful to look back on a long life and feel that you had chosen just the right path. A girl who was in the senior class at Bethel only a few years ago writes from distant Congo, We cannot tell you how much we like it here.” A veteran missionary who stood before 11s a few weeks ago, testified as follows: If I had my life to live over again, 1 would choose the same path of service.” There are apples of pleasure, and nuggets of gold; there arc gems of knowledge and scepters of power; but there is no joy, no wealth, no influence like that which comes to one who has chosen the human heart as his vineyard, his mine, his great love. One of Tennyson’s characters, a queen mother, is trying to dissuade her son from going lo the scene of warfare where his royal father is leading the Christian forces. She pleads with him to stay at home and follow the deer. From the princely heart of the lad bursts forth in the rejoinder: “Follow the deer? Follow the Christ! Follow the King! Else wherefore was I born?’’ So to the Senior Class we say, God Speed! We shall not forget you. Keep your vision toward the morning and your heart open to His love; thus shall you find light for every problem and strength for every burden. Forward march! But— Follow the Christ! Follow the King.” t'age s
