diwAif QotVtad (jJinqbladsi PRESIDENT One ship sails east, another west, To the self same winds that blow; 'Tis the set of the sail and not the gale That determines which way they go. Like the winds of the sea are the ways of fate. As we journey on through life. 'Tis the set of the soul that determines the goal. And not the calm or the strife.” 12

Seventy-five years ago Bethel was organized on fundamental principles. During these many years the faculty and administration have always been sincere Christians vitally interested4in the spiritual welfare, and mental and physical development of their students. National periods of war, depression, and prosperity have failed to alter the ideals, traditions, and principles of Bethel. Bethel presents a strengthening Christian philosophy during these days of national crisis and changing policies. New students are welcomed by several prayer meetings daily, consecrated chapel services, and prayer and devotion in the class rooms. Student Gospel teams visit nearby missions, chapels and Old Folks Home to proclaim the true Gospel in prayer, praise and song. The powerful spiritual emphasis is accompanied with an equally sirong emphasis upon secular education. The policy of the school is evident in the opportunities for the students to train themselves in order to face the problems and temptations of the world today. Bethel students carry the high traditions and Christian codes cf their Alma Mater to the local and foreign fields for the Lord. From the local churches in the Midwest to the jungles of Africa and India; from the North to the isles of the South Seas, the sons and daughters of Bethel proclaim with Baptist fearlessness the truths from God's Holy Word. It is to these vocations as well as to the simpler walks of life that the Bethel faculty and administration send their students, trained in mature Christian living and in a high type of secular scholarship, as representatives of the Kingdom of God. 11 OjuudsmitL
