' Uhr taleams 3 4 Academy Q3 SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY gg -f- Qly Yes, May was here at last. April showers had spread a beautiful green carpet on the ground and here and there little violets had ventured to show their smiling faces. VVarbling birds were perched on waving boughs and on singing with all their might. Surely God's love is great to the children of Q. men that he should array this old earth in sueh beautiful foliage, inhabit it with 5' such musical creatures. 1, NVhile nature was beautifyin g the campus, a visitor came into our midst un- ? invited and unwelcomed. Our president had warned us weeks before that this J intruder would be coming soon. Both faculty and the students put forth ef- ferts to keep him out, but nevertheless the terrible plague of spring fever slipped in at an unguarded moment and was now performing his disastrous JN work on the minds of several students. I had tried hard to evade him, but in vain. For days I had felt the symptoms of this dreadful disease creeping over me. 3 I tried to arouse myself to prepare my psychology lesson, trusting that this would bring me some relief, and so I read, t'All are aware that some sensations is are pleasurable whilc lOh, that 'tmonstern had such a terrible grip on me. What should I do 'Z My eyes refused to stay open, my book slipped to the floor and I was in his hands, helpless. The very next moment I was sitting on the grassy banks of a babbling brook, with beautiful trees on each side. Every tree seemed to be a director of an orchestra and God's greatest musicians were doing their best. Flowers Q of every description were waving their pretty heads to and fro in tlne gentle Q breeze, seemingly keeping time with the muslc. Suddenly my attention was attracted by the voice of a mocking bird sit- Cn ting on a little twig just above my head. He said, 'AI have -obtained some f information that will probably be interesting to you. I nodded my head for him to continue, and then the mocking bird related the story of his eventful journey back from the Southland. One interesting event in the tale Q9 was eoneerning my old class mate, Naomi Woods, who, he said had become Q a successful singing evangelist. For the past two years she had been travel- .-A- ing with her father assisting him in conducting meetings in various places, and she was a great blessing to many souls in this field of labor for the Lord. -- The babbling brook wishing also to ioin in the conversation said, I too, K9 can tell you some things of interest. Of course I was eager to hear his Q story. He began by saying that ano! ier of my old classmates, Frieda Norden, A' had gone to the mountains. There she was doing her best to get the gospel of full and free salvation to the mountaineers. The Lord was richly blessing g her and the love of Christ, which she manifested among them, had found its Q1 vfay into many of their hearts. A bumble bee, who was sitting on a stone near the edge of the water ven- tg tured to interrupt the brook. The bee was a close friend of the brook so he Q c-eased his babbling and allowed the bee to speak. The bee then told us of the delightful afternoon that he had spent on the college campus a few days -,fy ago. While there he had seen a number of my old schoolmates, among whom was Margaret Williams. Notiein g that I was especially interested in Margaret, he told me that she would graduate from college in a few days, and was to be q one of the teachers in Mathematics next year. This indeed was unexpected gt news for I had thought Margaret's school days were over when we finished tContinued on page 491 Sf' Eg if Io CQ Q3 Gu V5 E3 E' IQ CZ ICE GQ Q QQ Ce' Ea fi' V75 fo E' 'Q -e as

ml- Uhv CEIPHIHH KINDNESS Paul in writing to the Ephesians said, Bc yc kind one to another, and 'tForbear one another in love. These words of Paul were given not only to the Ephesians, but are for us today. At diilercnt times throughout thc Bible God speaks to us of kindness. And you will Iind Divine love does suffer long and is kind. Kindness is that disposition which delights in contributing to the happi- ness of othe1's and is exercised cheerfully in gratifying their wishes, supplying their needs or alleviating their distrcsses. It involves good will toward all and maliee l0W31'ClS none, compassion, grentleness, and forbearance. All these quali- ties will be found in those who follow in the footsteps of the lowly Man of Galilee. How sad is the life into which kindness does not enter. And in which there is no eoncern for the welfare of those about him, and the making' of their lives bri,Q'hter by a loving' smile, a gentle word to give out kindness to those about him. Sometimes it will mean to sacrifice his own desires and plans and be kind in considering thc views of others, for kindness involves forbear- ance. In school life, one of the prineiple requisites for happy fellowship is the thoughtfulness of fellow students and power to forbear with one anotherls faults and their short eominers in refinement. It atfords some of the best op- portunities to develop true kindness in all phases of its meaning. The chief phase of kindness is found in Christian fellowship. Vile are to be examples of the lowly Nazarene, who showed kindness, gcntleness, and for- bearance to all. Often we are misunderstood and often we misunderstand others. The Savior was'misunderstood and seotted at, yet He did not sneak evil of those who wronged Him, but gave in return love and kindness. If we are to follow Him and be true diseinles we will have to take the route He took. As He was kind, we also must be kind. It has been said that There is nothing so kingly as kindness. and kindness is like a breath of heavenfl liet us scatter kindness that we may help our fellowman to heaven, and ourselves to live a happy, useful, and con- sistent Christian life. Have you had a kindness shown? Pass it on, 'Twas not given for thee alone, Pass it on: Let it travel down the years, Let it wipe another's tears, 'Till in Heaven the deed appears- Pass it on. -Helen Andrews. Co Q.

', wk Uhr GIPHMH Q if Academy 3 A CHALLENGE TO THE SAVED E53 With the passing years saints who shook the world with their lives, who declared the whole counsel of God, who did not count their lives dear unto Q themselves but freely gave them for the sake of the gospel. have passed on to Q Q a better world. The iiniuence of their lives still lives and encourages us to- C9 day, but their burdens, their cares, and their toils have also been shifted to is our shoulders. NYith their departure. the age has changed. and unbelief and iz, scepticism have crept upon the church until now we find ourselves in the 3,4 perilous age of apostasy. Because the faith of so many has waned. the vision has lessened and the love of once fervent hearts has waxed cold. Modernism , ,Q has so swept our younger generation until infidelity has become a very com- Q C5 mon thing. Here is a challenge to us. Let us hurl our lives into the fight Gy against sin and woe. lVe can only prove to a lost world the reality of the knowledge of sins qt .... forgiven as we have experienced this reality ourselves. XVe can not proclaim 3 C9 the gospel in all its power and glory by the wisdom of men. neither eau we de- Q33 ca elare the wonderworking power of Godis Spirit by mere intellectual under- P standing. Only under the unction of the spirit and in love and compassion to- ward all mcn are we able to give definite. firm. and glowing testimony of what 'Q 2: the power of God has accomplished in our own lives. ,! G, How can we to whom God has shown the glorious light of His gospel fail S ---- to carry it to the ends of the earth? We ought to be very grateful when we Q9 consider the coming generation. and see how the world has allured it until it is CQ eb --.. completely taken up with the things of time. to think how merciful the Lord .,,, Q E9 has been to let us know the truth as a reality in our own lives. And now as we ICE ci know it let us bear the glad tidings to those who have never heard. Harken! hear the tramp. tramp, tramp, of those that are fast departing never to return! They are dying souls for whom Jesus died. for that only satisfying portion for which men have craved throughout all ages. W if Let us keep in view this one purpose-to be a soul winner and to glorify to God and work till Jesus comes. His returning draweth nigh even as He has Q9 said, In such an hour as ye think not the Son of Man cometh. As the eve- Q Q ning shadows of time gather around us and the awful apostasy engulfs the whole earth, let us watch and be ready for his coming cannot but be very near. -Lindley Arnett. tj --'-1-P Q SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY CCOnclu5'edJ P High School. Thinking that maybe the bumble bee eould give me some in- formation concerning Helen Andrews, I asked him about her. The breeze. who all this time had kept quiet. not waiting now for the bee to answer my in- 6' quiry. blurted out that he knew all about Helen. M' Then came the story of how Helen had been sent as a Missionary to dark E9 C9 India. It had only been a week since the breeze had visited that country and Q he said he passed through the village where Helen's work was located. The Lord was giving her excellent health. and many souls who had been deprived 1, of hearing the story of Jesus. were now realizing how mueh He loved them. His story was interrupted by the ringing of the class bell. This sudden ga interruption loosened the grip of the Hsnring ft-ver on me and I found myself C9 sitting by the window with my psvehologv book on the tloor.
