Elder and lVlrs. T. E. Unruh IN TRIBUTE . . . Little do We realize the far-reaching effects of the Call that comes to a man to establish a citadel for God-a refuge for youth. All of the sacrifice and hours of toil only make us more conscious that the goal of life is measured not in silver and gold, but in consecrated devotion to the saving of souls for Eternity. Each youth who leaves these halls of learning must ever look to you as a leading influence in his opportunity for a Christian education. A grateful faculty and student body can little express their deep gratitude to you-the inspiring force behind this modern ulVIiracle of Blue Moun- tain.

Elder R. R. Adams PRINCIPAIJS MESSAGE Remember, dear friends, that each day, each hour, each moment, you are weaving the web of your own destiny. Each time the shuttle is thrown, there is drawn into the web a thread which either mars or beautifies the pattern. If you are careless and indolent, you spoil the life which God designed should be bright and beautiful. lf you choose to follow your own inclinations, unchristlike habits will bind you with bands of steel. And as you walk away from Christ, your example will be followed by many who, because of your wrong course, will never enjoy the glories of heaven. But if you make brave efforts to overcome selfishness, allowing no opportunity to pass for helping those around you, the light of your example will guide others to the cross.-lVl.Y.P., p. 212.
