Seminary D. Perlins. Vice Pres.; W, Crow, Pees.; J. Cr-avfcrdL Sec.-Trsos. Lead on, O King Eternal, the day of march has come; Henceforth in fields of conquest thy tents shall be oar home. Thro' days of preparation thy grace has made us strong, And now. O King Eternal, we lift cur battle song. Lead on, O King Eternal, we follow no! with fears; For gladness breaks like morning wher e'er thy face appears; Thy cross is lifted o'er us; We journey in its light: The crown awaits the conquest; Lead on, O God of might. This has become the prayer of our lives. We praise the Lord for His leading thus far. He has led and prepared us through our childhood days, through high school, some through service in our armed forces, some through college, Bible institute, or our own pre-seminary. But each has felt His leading to this place at this time. We believe, yes, we know that it is-God's will for us that we train for His service here. We have nor only His leading, but His blessing of approval as together v e have studied, worked, and fellows hipped. We have been brought into this class that our lives might mutually bless and os blessed, inspire and be inspired, help and be helped. The Lord has led us together that we might be molded more closely to the image of His blessed Son. There is much to be done, for the fields are while already unto harvest. As we go on through our seminary training and then into further service, we breathe a prayer to God, Lead on. O King Eternal; and from our almighty God comes the reassuring cry. I will go before thee and make the crooked places straight: I will break in pieces the gates of brass, and cul in sunder the bars of iron: and I will give thee the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that thou mayest knew thal I, the Lord which calieth thee by name, am the God of Israel. ' (Isaiah 45:2-3.) • 21 •

A. Glazier, Pres.; G- Si’ckler, .Vice Pras.; J. Thurber, Sec. Treas. A fall changeover from tired muscles and aching backs to writer's cramp and heavy eyelids was put into effect September 6, 1950, for our class. Three months of physical labor made us ready and willing to ply our pencils and use our grey matter in preparation for service for our Lord. It must have been much hotter last summer than, we imagined, as the heat seemed to have had a nullifying effect on our thinking capacity. Therefore the first month was spent in becoming adjusted to staying up late nights, getting up early in the morning, and studying on the way to and home from school. What a joy it was for us, when we finally had a moment to survey our surroundings, to discover that we knew each other. Aside from a car accident that kept one of our group away we could easily be identified as the first year class of the previous year. Happy memories of that year's fellowship inspired us to organize a Thursday morning praise and prayer group. As we share each other's joys and problems we are drawn closer to God and each other. How thankful we are for this time together as a class. The student bo y%|f our school has been hit this year by two old foes viz., the beckoning finger of Uncle -Sim and the rising cost of living. Our class also has been stricken and we are taughf many vafrobie lessons as we endeavor to help each other. Our purpose is still the same. We have been called to prepare for service for the King. We are determined that the close ol this year will find us better fitted to the task. • 23 •
