They are matriculates in the college of God, sitting at the feet of the invisible but ever-present Teacher and Lord, loving and listening,-living, and learning to live, more abundantly.

i 4 I l i V i i I l I. 'iOut of Zion Cometh Perfection of Beautyu T all times man has been striving for perfection, for beauty. History tells us of the struggles of man in the past to attain this perfection. The good 4 ,ii . . . . . that he saw in others he copied in order that he might be nearer the ideal l of beauty of form, color and character. The Greeks, seeking perfection and tag neg: beauty, erected magnificent temples for the abode of their gods. The re- i'- ligious festivals consisted of the song and dance by gaily dressed maidens, carrying garlands of flowers-all of which was a striving after beauty to propitiate the ill will of their gods. The wise old philosopher, the monks in their cells, the prince on his throne, the little child reaching out its hand for a flower, all strove for perfection of beauty. There is the same desire of man today for beauty. The young girl blossoming in her youth wears her many colored ribbons and airy dresses that she may be beautiful. The home-keeper, busy about her household tasks, strives to make her home as near perfection as possible-a thing of beauty and a joy forever. The poets today, in order to please the human heart, sing of faith, hope and love-the beauteous things. But the world will never be satisfied until it takes into its heart the perfection that cometh out of Zion. He was perfect in His life, beautiful in His works on earth. He was the Rose of Sharon, and the Lily of the Valley. Even His enemies could find no fault in Him. ln His daily walks with His fellownien, He was always the K'Good Shepherd keeping watch over His flock. His friends proclaimed Him King of Kings and Lord of Lords. He was the Prince of Peace, the Lamb of God that taketh away the sin of the world, the one perfect man-the Son of God. In His death and resurrection He attains the supreme height of beauty and per- fection. Thus He is able to satisfy the deep passions of the human heart for beauty. Only as we strive to be more like Him, to surrender our all to Him, are we able to attain the perfection of beauty that satisfies. Being made perfect, He became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey Him. He has promised us that VVe shall be perfect, even as He is perfect. We know that when I-le shall appear, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is. He is our Hope, our Bright and lllorning Star. LILA M. Boxxisit, '20, Page One Hundred Twenty we
