Dried, pressed, formaldehyde, or frozen — there are many ways to preserve the specimens after We Is gone. The tech- nique of embedding specimens within clear plastic is especially effective in preserving the life-like appearance. The body of the specimen is intimately enclosed by the transparent medium. Since coming to CedarviBe. God has been teaching me the importance of other kinds of embedcSng processes. As creatures of God and recreated beings through redemption, we too are embedded but in much more wonderous ways. First, our Sves are embedded in the physical environment of God's cre- ation. As biological creatures, we are Intimately linked to the life-giving light, air, water, and soil which God has committed to our care as stewards. The earth's We support system oper- ates by divine absolutes which cannot be violated without severe conse- quences. The Creator has provided no other means of sustaining We on earth. WiB my lifestyle make a difference on the demands upon a finite supply of material resources? The second aspect of embedded- ness suggests that each of us can and should make a difference, for we are embedded in Christ and His righteous- ness covers us. Our Lord refers to our utter dependence of the physical body upon the light, water, and bread to emphasize that the spiritual man must be likewise embedded in Him, the light of the world, the living water, and bread of We. As we abide in Hrn as living stones embedded in the body of Christ, we are nourished spiritually and can individually and corporately ac- complish much for God's glory in to- day's world. Embedded in creation — embed- ded in the Creator: our needs w be supplied as we exercise proper stew- ardship of his material and spiritual pro- visions. John E.

When I think of what Cedarviile Col- lege is now compared to what it was when I first saw it, my first thought is. How things hove changed. First of all there are many physical changes. Most of what is here wasn't here, and most what was here has been painted, sandblasted, cement- ed over, or drowned My students are amazed when I tell them that at one time the whole student body sat down f to eat together in what is now the post office, or that we all had chapel in the book-store, or that the third floor of Collins Hall was a dormitory. Who would have dreamed in those years that the school was struggling to keep its head above water, that someday we would have our own lake, or who could look back from a season of championships to believe the roar of the crowd when the bas- ketball team won its first game? Would I v ant to go back to mud- paths. to sports events in Alford, to one hundred students in the student-body, or to the cook's favorite lunch being Spanish rice? Not on your life! I love cement walks, a beautiful new field house, the multitudes of students, and the salad-bar at lunch time. Now I treasure the memories, I relish the thirty-year friendships, and I thank God for what Cedarviile meant to a new Christian those many years ago. but I thrive on the excitement of watching the generation's students accept the challenge of a stressful so- ciety with hope and courage and faith. Sandra G. Entner M.A. Part-time instructor Social Science Dept. It was not easy to capsulize twenty years mto several hundred words. Cedarviile has been a way of life since arriving here as a student in 1964. It is here that I met my wife to whom I am very indebted for her willingness to put up with an often hyperactive sched- ule It is from her that I have learned the Biblical concept of helpmeet. Cedarviile has provided opportuni- ties. victories, and also, defeats. Cer- tain quarters seem to rival eternity in length, yet others go more quickly than a box of cookies in a dorm. The reward comes, though, when a stu- dent returns after several years and relates how something that was taught is now useful to them. No words can adequately express the joy of seeing a student mature in spirit and mind. The Lord has blessed. I remember when Williams Hoil was a dorm. Alford was a chapel and the cafeteria was a gymnasium. The Post Office was in the basement of the AD building and house trailers sat where the Chapel sits now. I remember knowing every stu- dent by name and having no I.D. cards. Yet. it is good to see the growth and though I might wish for quietei times once in a while, I cannot look al Cedarviile and not see the handiwork of God. by James R.
