Dean C. EMANUEL CARLSON We solemnly assure you that as certainly as God is faithful so We have never given you a message meaning 'yes' and 'no'! Iesus Christ, the Son of God, whom Silvanus, Timothy and I have preached to you, is Himself no doubtful quantity, He is the divine Yes. Every promise of God finds its affirmative in Him, and through Him can be said the final Amen, to the glory of God. We owe our position in Christ to this God of positive promise: it is He Who has consecrated us to this special work, He Who has given us the living guarantee of the Spirit in our hearts. Phillips, Letters to Young Churches, II Corinthians 1:18-22. Dean EDWIN I. OMARK Another school year lies in the past. No doubt the record contains some disappointments but all ot us have reason for deep gratitude. The blessing of 'God has been abundant. Now we face decisions and new experiences. Whether graduating or not, we need Divine guidance. The wise man of old said, In all thy ways acknow- ledge Him and He shall direct thy paths. We wish for all the comfort and guidance of God's presence. H.

Was it not Wordsworth who said of the French Revolution: To have lived in that time would have been bliss, but to have lived and been young would have been heaven itself. 1lYes, it is wonderful to be young - and to be go- ing somewhere, and not to be like the dear colored woman who, when asked where she was going, replied, I's done been where I's going. 1lWhich way are we going? Do we not tend to go in the direction we are looking, - where our interests lie? One of my university professors once said, When you have spare time with nothing pressing, what book do you pull out to read? That will show pretty much where your heart interest, your heart direction, lies. 111-Xnd so as graduates step out into a larger world they will tend to go or con- tinue to go in the direction of the central focus of vision. All else will tend to revolve around that heart love whether it be small and unworthy, or the great blazing Light that does not fail. 1ISwinburne's greatest line was the follow- ing: This thing is God - to be a man in thy might: to grow straight in the strength of thy spirit, and live out thy life as the light. DR. HENRY WINGBLADE. President
