1 i Uhr Glvvml 3 if Activities THE FIRST TI-IANKSG-IVING DAY AT FRANKFORT PILGRIM COLLEGE Tl1e presence of God had continually hovered over us since the ope11i11g of hlh. school i11 September. We were conscious that everything.we beheld on the Eg campus had come directly fromithc hand of' God. Tl1e scripture 111 Numbers 23 :23 ca111e so forcibly to our m111ds so often, VVhat hath God wrought? Knowing that God had ClO11Q all this through lns faithful servants and sent 5 to us the best student body that we have ever seen, our hearts just couldnlt f help but praise Hin1. 'gl I This spirit flowed from heart to heart and like our Savior, it We11t out to miners and for others who were poor a11d 11eedy. J Since tl1e opening of School, stude11ts had been ClOl11g perso11al work over gi the city. This brought them i11to the homes that were poverty stricken Ellld where Sill had played havoc. They returned with burdened hearts over the -'JW physical needs but the greater burden was over their need of God. Their earnest appeals and sad requests for prayer touched other hearts. Q9 Out of these lJul'Cl0llCCl hearts and a l011g'll1g to be like Him i11 tl1e spirit of Q helping others, the Lord led us to have our first Thanksgiving dinner at tl1e College. Bands of students visited these neglected ho111es a11d gave them a cordial Q invitation to 001110 to the College, Thanksgiving day. This i11vitatio11 was also if given to the ministers Zllltl lay111e11 of the I11dia11a District. G ,... Many students who had received spe11di11g 111011057 gave all for the needy ones. all volu11teered to work. Every day all prayed earnestly that those com- U .,,, lllg' i11 would 11ot o11ly be fed physically, but be in 311 old-fashioned meeting C9 where the presence of God would l'CHCl1 their hearts. Q Prayers were heard from tl1e early mor11i11g hours on Thanksgiving Day. While the risi11g bell rang tl1e campus was astir. Soon tl1e ears from distant Q. pa1'ts were coming i11 loaded with 1ni11isters 3116-l guests. At ten o'clock all f gathered in the chapel for a praise service. For a11 hour the praises Hllfl glory rolled. Tl1cn Rev. D. E. Wilson of New York preached a11 old-fashioned gospel message i11 the unetion of tl1e Holy Ghost. A wonderful prayer and J altar service followed. Q At tl1e call of the bell tl1e guests entered tl1e beautifully decorated dining room a11d were seated at the long well-filled tables. Brother Wilsoii offered thanks to our Heavenly Father for the bou11tiful supply from His great store- house. Tl1e girls donned i11 their white caps 2l11Cl aprons served the guests J efficiently. ca Tl1e congregation assembled i11 tl1e chapel at two o'clock for a school ser- vice. Teachers Zlllfl Sll1ClQ11lS praised the Lord for salvation, Hlltl for tl1e col- ? lege. All gave a definite testin1o11y of being led by God to Frankfort Pilgrim Q College. 6, livery one's heart just CO1llCl1l,f help but overiiow with gratitude to God for our school raised up in due time by God for the trai11i11g of our boys Hllfl tg girls. When tl1e crowd had gone home Hlld God had silently drawn ClOW11 tl1e ,QA shades of night, we were conscious as we quickly and quietly re-lived the day that we l1ad caught the real spirit of the Master in our Thanksgiving service. rg 1 Iwas 2111 hungered, and ye gave me meat, I was thirsty. a11d ye gave me q drinkg I was a stranger a11d ye took n1e ing I was naked, Ftlld ye clothed meg I was sick, and ye visited meg I was i11 prison Hllfl ye came Ill1lO 111e. I11 as sh much as ye have Cl0l1C it ll11fO the least of these my brethren: ye have dO11Q it f u11to me. -Leanna Stuart. -73-
