RELIGIOUS ACTIVITIES Goethe once said, 'tHe who is plenteously provided for from within needs but little from without. Every denomin- ational collegc across the land took its rise in the profound spiritual urge of the early pioneers who believed that the soul of education is the education of the soul. No one of these colleges omits in its charter statements the primal necessity of religious education. Those interested in the destinies of Dakota Wesleyan stu- dents, faculty and administration, recognize in religion the Gibraltar element of life's activities. Yet the unchanging law is the law of change. Intelligent building of character is an achievement, but not of one day or a single experience. Dr. Henry Crane insisted in his addresses before us last lvlarch that religion is life. He interpreted life and we believed in his definition. New knowledge, new inventions, new approaches to the problems of life, enlarge our spirit and lift our horizons. Social adjustment calls for inner adjustment. Deep calleth unto deep!! in all of the departments of our study. Reality is found only in the search and understanding of this restless, seething, ongoing process of life about us. lVe touch Him in life's throng and press and we are whole again.
