ADIVIINISTRATIO Then I went down to the potter's house and behold he wrought a work on the wheels. Jeremiah 1813. The potter's wheels are instruments used in perfecting the vessel as he molds the clay with his hands. we liken our Administration to the tools of the Great Potter. Just as the potter manipulates the wheels while molding the vessel into a complete and beautiful work, so God uses our Administration as instruments of blessing. Through their faithful ministry in teaching and exhorting, He is bringing forth many vessels Umeet for the Master's use. NINE

A school is what it is largely be- cause of its administration and fac- ulty, for they set its standards and influence its students in choosing and maintaining' its ideals. To the workers are due the phys- ical comforts which the students en- joy and the conditions conducive to study.

2 if L 1, A - 1:63-f if X32 it Q ' 2, i i . ---1 - 'A1' Iggy. e . .. ' JOSEPH E. RAMSEYER President Lectures on Deeper Christian Life. Vessels of Honor According to divine revelation God needs vessels in which to deposit the riches of his grace - the unsearchable riches of Christ. Through this medium He makes Himself known in the world. Paul says, HFor we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord. Then he adds, 'tBut we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may he of God and not of us. Through these vessels that He is preparing and using now as channels through which to pour Himself upon earth's needy ones, He will then exhibit the riches of His grace in the world to come. For we are told, That in the ages to come, he might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us through Christ Jesus. Oh, glorious future, that shall never end! God likens Himself unto a potter, as we read in Jeremiah eighteeng and His great pottery is here on earth. He forms His vessels out of clay. This re- fers to our human being with all its ransomed faculties. All those who wield themselves unreservedly and everlastingly to Him are MADE by Him t'Vessels unto honor, sanctified and meet for the master's use, and prepared unto every good workf' ll Timothy 2:23. May every one of the class of 1937 answer to the description above. 'Through you, not only may the Word of God be carried to many different parts of the world, but may the Life of Jesus Christ be made manifest as Paul says: t'Noxv thanks he unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge BY US lN EVERY PLACE.
