He vcatched and zvept, he prayed and felt for all ; And, as a bird each fond endearment tries To tempt its new-f edged offspring to the skies. He tried each art, reproved each dull delay, Allured to brighter worlds, and led the way. His ready smile a parentis warmth exprest ; Their welfare pleased him, and their cares distrest: To them- his heart, his love, his griefs were given, But all his serious thoughts had rest in heaven.

Their training has proved its value as they have gone out to be faithful witnesses to the truth of Christ Jesus. Through the years the members of the faculty have given themselves unceasingly to the task of presentmg education cen- tered in the Word of God. Behind the scenes, members of the staff have contributed largely to the progress and success of the carefully organized curriculuni. School life in all its phases has been characterized by the con- tinual fulfillment of the college motto, To know Him and to make Him known. FACULTY 1943-44 ROBERT C.

II this statement is doubted, just look o x ' r its membership. Please note the Ph.D. we ha e in our midst, the up-and-coming musician, already success! ul missionaries, ministers, and school teachers who are seeking further training, besides one who is the pride and joy of a famous hospital. In addition to our studies, we have fun at our picnics and monthly supper-meetings. Son of man, hear what I say unto thee; . . . and thou shalt speak my words unto them. Each member of the class is planning to do full-time work for the Lord, cither on the foreign field, or in the homeland. We believe the future has much in store for the Graduate School. We are looking forward to growth in number, expansion in courses, and other advancements which shall bring to future graduates added values. First rozc: L. Campbell, M.

B. C. On tree-lined Hampton against the blue southern sky ap- peared two finial-capped towers, strong, sturdy, sheltering. . . . Four years flew by, packed with an unbelievable number of blessings. We went to classes, feeling that our feet trod holy ground; enjoyed unforgettable fellowship; made lasting friendships; played and laughed at social events; gave chapel messages; and surprisingly soon, no longer new, no longer verdant, walked down the chapel aisles under mortarboards. C. B. C. has given us a priceless heritage in learning of Him. Now for you who fol- low, we have this farewell message, suggested by that first glimpse of towers shining m the sun, and repeatedly proved: The name of the Lord is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe. We leave the sheltering towers of C. B. C, but that tower is ours, unchangeable, ever-present. The sneaking get-away Jun! MARJORIE E. ALMAND Atlanta, Georc;ia Chorus III; F. M. F.

Student Foreign Missions Fellowship is a growing arm} of student missionary volunteers receiving their basic train- ing in the schools and colleges of the L ' nited States, preparing to go overseas on an errand of peace and goodwill, to take the Gospel message to those who have not yet heard whether there is a Christ or a Bible. Dailv newspapers somehow fail to report the victories being won by the piowerful forces under God on the world mission fronts. On the home front, defenders wage the battle by prayer, meeting in local chapters to review the needs on the held, to consider the possibilities of advance, and to consult with the Captain of the Lord ' s Army concerning His plans for the present and the future.

To know the best literature, and to sharpen the appetite of the individual for such, is the abiding hope of achieve- ment of the Philobiblonian Literary Socict} ' . The society seeks to establish its aim upon a working basis by having each member take part in at least one meeting during the semester. Two meetings a month are held, one of which is a business meeting for the purpose of improving the members ' knowledge of parliamentar - procedure. The other is a program of poetry, stories, general essays and music. It is well that we who serve the One who made all beauty should have a true understanding of the refinements ot life. We would be fulh ' equipped to meet the warfare of life, and so we clothe ourselves with literary, as well as physical and intellectual, armor.

Play the second soprano through, please, or All the low altos this time — just a shade solter. Soon all the hard places are smoothed out and the words are mastered. Then comes, Now, let ' s sing it all the way through. There are a few short rehearsals and the repeated discussion, White blouses and dark skirts look so nice from the audience — , before the final public rendition. White blouses win, and soon the message in song floats out supported by earnest prayer for its blessing. The thrill of believing the Lord has used the nielod} ' of their voices more than repays the mem- bers for the expended time and effort. 40 FRIDAY NIGHT Fiddlesticks ! Vm-m-m-ni, Pie !

Bible and Christian I ife Conference Augiist 12 to 20 In the summer of 1943 when it was feared that the war might interfere with the Ben IJppen conferences, God gave the greatest year in enrollment and in spiritual blessing. The closing Bible and Christian Life Conference had an enrollment of 40.5, as against 333 for the preceding year. In the missionary circles there was a total of 240 young people offering themselves for service for the foreign mission fields. Ben Lippen is the jilace where many young people, as well as older people, have met the Lord Jesus Christ face to face, and where many have had a call to service. The motto, To know Him and to make Him known, has been blessedly carried out. For information, xcritf to !Mr.s. W. T .

And that there are ten departments from which to choose in each issue, with the leading lesson exposition by H. A. Ironside. More than enough material to give plenty of reserve power in teaching the class. Every earnest Clirisfiini in.rker who reads the Times knows that in it he will find the answer to many a puzzling problem in its Notes on Open Letters and its special articles dealing with interesting phases of Bible study and truth. The alert Christian men and iromen who read the Times know that this is an easy way to keep up with religious news of the world. About once a month Ernest Gordon unearths unusual bits of news in his World Survey of Religious Life and Thought. To do this, Mr. Gordon reads some hundreds of books and periodicals in a year, in several different languages. Christian people everywhere, in all walks of life, who read the Times know that in addition to these many regular features there are special series of articles throwing light on Bible prophecy, doctrine, great Christian conflicts, and other sul:)jects vital to Christian thinking today. Why don ' t you give this eighty-five-year-old Christian journal a good six months ' trial — starting right now?
