President's Message Mets “The Eternal Challenge” is the theme of THE TOWER for this year. It is a theme rich in implications for you as you reminisce about your days at Concordia. ‘Eternal’ is a good word. It is certainly true that the faculty has constantly directed your thinking, to “things eternal.’ Earthly fame and glory, wealth and possessions, all will pass away. Only that which is done for Christ will endure. “Challenge” is a popular word too. It stands for an ap- peal to use our strength and energy for a difficult task. “Call” is the Biblical word. God has called us ‘out of darkness,” called us “by grace,” called us to preach the gospel through- out the wide world. The task is challenging enough, for Satan blocks the way and challenges us to continuous and mortal combat. I am sure you know that the only way to meet that challenge is by the strength that God will give you -- hour by hour, day by day, and year by year. Go then in the Savior’s name to answer “the Eternal Challenge.” There is no higher task. There is no nobler pro- fession. There is no happier way of life. Paul A. Zimmerman President
