Cl 1 1 ± I l a it s e t v i c e directing a Miracle Book Club Here in the city of Columbia is a tiny world bustling with activity. Seven days are too few for the innumerable opportunities afforded to touch the lives of those who live in and around the city. The most vital part of our life, the privilege of giving out God ' s Word, has thrilled the heart of many a student. Boys and girls, men and women find the Lord through Sunday Schools, Bible classes, and clubs taught by members of C. B. C. Child evangelisin with its far-reaching effects is carried on in all sections of the city. Of great importance is the work accomplished through house to house visita- tion. Finding people in their normal environment has led to deep, soul-searching conversation about the Lord. Equally effective is a ministry amongst the sick in hospital visitation. A fairly recent phase of this department s service is the personal work done with soldiers. Street meetings provide an excellent means of giving out the Gospel to hundreds of restless young men, thronging the city streets on Saturday nights. Our Victory Center on the men s campus also has an ample share in filling the need of the spiritually hungry soldiers. Faculty, staff, and students alike are constrained by the love of their Master to labor for the One who Himself went out amongst the multitude proclaiming His message of love and peace.

P It i I o- b i b i a it i a u Seated: Pierce. Kraybill, Tutty, Case. Standing: Yost, Miller. Grayson, Gitlin, Veliko To understand what is lovely To think on the good and the true; To know what is fine of the oldest. To learn what is best of the new. We are fellow-Philobiblonians In purpose united as one. Oh, trustworthy still shall they find us And true to the task we ' ve begun! The words of the theme song express adequately the aims of the Philobiblonian Literary Society. In order that members may receive full benefits from the advantages of such an organization, two meetings, of diverse character, are held each month. One meeting gives experience in parliamentary drill as various matters of business are discussed and disposed of. The other is given over to the en- joyment of literary programs, and every mem- ber is given opportunity to participate in such a program. As we study the lives and works of the literati, new appreciation of the various forms of literature is gained, besides a keener enjoyment of the finer things of life. Those who know the One who is the source of all truth and beauty have a special responsi- bility to the world of mankind. It therefore behooves us to do all in our power that will lend to development along cultural lines, in order that we may take our place with the in- formed people of the world and by first win- ning their respect, win them to our Lord. To this end the practical training given in the Philobiblonian Literary Society contributes much to our knowledge and experience, that we may be the better prepared for our life work.
