TI-IE BEGINNING .,.. The man of today is but a composite of all of his yesterdays. The soul is a king that is sitting upon a throne. The sceptre that he holds in his hand extends back- ward over yesterday-is held above our todays-and goes on forward over our tomorrows. Yesterday is ruled by memory, today is under the sceptre of reason while tomorrow acknowledges the sovereignty of hope. The law of cause and effect operates in the spiritual world just as inevitably as it works in the natural. Show me a man's beginning, said a wise man, and I will predict his end. The sinner can look at himself, miserable, heavy-Iadened and sad and he can point back to the tragic days of the beginning. He can tell you what started it all. But we all have sinned. Everyone of us found our beginnings in iniquity and beheld the seeds sprout in the fertile soil of our deprave and sinful natures. Because we began in iniquity must then we finish within the confines of its power? No. For now, through the -blood of the only begotten Son of God we behold a miracle. The supernatural transcends the natural. Grace flows from the fountains of a Father's love, and through the miracle of regeneration we behold a new creation. The old heart is taken away-and a new one is given. We are not transformed externally. We are changed by grace divine in the inner man. We receive a new beginning. The old things have passed away-behold all things have become new. As we once grew in sin, we can now grow in grace. Be sure, therefore, that you build upon a right foun- dation, then alone can the superstructure of your life endure. -Dr. Charles S. Price Therefore if any mon be in Christ, He is o new creofure: Old fhings are passed away: Behold! All fhings are become new. ll Cor. 5:77

Save Jesus Qnly enriching and empowering of the spiritual life. But over a generation has gone since then and in its course has been lost some of that early tire of Pentecost, that other- worldliness which characterized those days. Once again a patient Lord sees His people in great need of-Himself. On the threshold of the fourth decade of this twentieth century we pause with an inner hope and longing, a great desire to see Jesus walk in the midst of the seven candlesticksny then we shall all fall at His feet in adoration and wonder, Jesus, walk in our midst, make yourself glorious in the eyes of your Bride, draw us and we will run after you! is the cry of hungry hearts. ls it a vain wish we have to lcnow Jesus in all His heavenly glory? ls not the very desire the promise ofthe fulfillment? At this moment of expectation in the history of the church Calvary College has come into being: It is an auspicious time for a Bible school to have its inception, the more so when the hand of God has been so manifested in its establishment. That it is to have a not unimportant place in the spiritual developments of these last days is very clear from the quite extraordinary manner in which the grace of God has been manifested in the lives of both faculty and students during the first two terms of its existence. The Lord designs that Calvary College shall be a place where God may be Jil. The last great expected revival must come as Jesus in reality, in every life, becomes ie Head, the Centre, the main reason for living. One after another the students tell of Jesus having become more real to them, of an implanted desire to know Him in His fulness and glory, to make Him first in all things. This is the simple formula Calvary College holds to-an intensive seeking God on the part of every student result- ing in a life completely yielded to His will. When Jesus is given His rightful place in the individual's life, when He is loved for Himself and served out of love with no regard to results then will His glory be manifested. Jesus Himself is to be the center ofthe new revival: His glorification its object. Paul's great passion that I may know Him must become the major aim of every student if Calvary College is to fulfill its divine commission. A Christ more real than the closest friend, more satisfying than the most cherished earthly object, to be loved for His own essential excellence and obeyed because of such love-such is the Saviour Calvary College would lead her students to know. The Christian minister for these last days must find his own life consumed with the desire for God if his ministry is to be rich in spiritual results. Paul, the pattern for every minister, said he no longer lived but Christ lived in him. With Christ's love he loved he Philippians: to the Corinthians he writes that the love of Christ compels him, urges him on. For Paul life meant-Christ Himself. Out of that white-heat of divine union of the man to his Master has flowed the evangelism of nineteen centuries. And now at the end of this dispensation as at its beginning is God looking for many more to share this experience with Paul and to stand as the dispensers of eternal life to a weary world of jaded sinners. From the classrooms of Calvary College may the Holy Spirit send out ministers and Christian workers who can say to the needy world Such as I have give I unto thee and so speaking see the impartation of divine life and power to the glory of God. Amen! --Dr. Roy M. Gray
