God is in this and every plaeeg But O, how dark and void To me!-'tis one great wilderness This earth without my God. There are today just as marked examples of God's grace as in any other period of time. There is nothing that is more beautiful and of greater Worth than to see a person, whose very soul has been rent and torn, tossed hither and thither by doubts and fears, find a settled experience in the salvation of Christ. Then when there is added to this definite and positive fixedness in the teach- ing of God's VVord a direct and a divine call of that faith and NVord of sal- vation, such a character truly becomes a monument of the grace of God. Such a person was and is Miss Pearl Harbison, the vice-president of the class of 1930. Having heard God's call to preach the XVord, Miss Harbison has entered whole-souled and energetically into the Gospel of Christ. She has a message and gives it out to the people With no uncertain sound. Her work in College and in the Theological Department in the School has strengthened and built her up in the truth, and her dependence upon the Holy Spirit makes her a beautiful example of what God can do with a Spirit-filled and surrendered life. Pearl is vice-president of the Young People's movement in the Pilgrim Church in Indiana. She feels the weight of her most precious call to the min- istry of the Word, and to prayer. -33- let us go into the house of the Lord. '

B. 101 fi? - The one thing in the world, of Value, is the active soul. On a Sunday morning a few years ago, services had just opened with song and prayer in the College Chapel, where the Church was holding its regular meetings. A family had recently moved into the College town and that morning they had slipped into the service. As the closing notes of the song fol- lowing the early prayer faded away, the daughter leaped to her feet and began to praise the Lord in a clear, sweet voice. It was evident to all, that the Spirit of the Lord was upon her. As she spoke the emotion that was filling her heart burst forth in tears of joy and tremulous tones trying to express the gladness that was unspeakable. The girl seemed to be wrapped in the graee and power of the Holy Spirit. It set the audience into shouts of praises and rapture. Here was a vessel used of God. This was our introduction to the president of the 1930 class, Miss Naomi Hanna. From that time this girl, who has just won her laurels in Frankfort Pil- - grim College, has eonstantly pursued with zealous efforts her education. Gen- 3 ial, happy and eourteous, she has won many friends. Thorough in her studies, she has laid a good foundation for her future work. Since the days of that earnest testimony, she has often said that her heart was the Lord's and in the , Lord's work. May she be found as faithful to the Lord as she has been to ob- : tain her diploma and may she make the sacrifices necessary to give her souls and bring her shouts of triumph at the eoming of the Lord. i Ak 353' -3.2-

ia Uh? gg ! PEARL SIMS Indiana Class Secretary KJ Take fast hold of instructiong let if her not go: for she is thy lifef' Major: Education. Degree: A. B. 4 V z 'The busy world shoves angrily aside The man who stands with arms akimbo set, Until occasion tells him what to dog And he who waits to have his task marked out, Shall die and leave his errand unfulfilled. Hur time is one which calls for earnest deeds. The life of Miss Pearl Sims has become one that is constantly beckoning from the common walks of life in the world to better and nobler things and to higher virtues in christian experience and activities. This girl has not found life made up of roses without thorns, of sunshine without shadows, or of joys without sorrows. But she has found a Savior that tinds for her the perfume despite the thorn, the sunshine beyond the shadow, and the joy in the midst of sorrow. Her education has helped her to be optimistic. courageous, and has shown her the way into the deeper depths of the truth of the old Book. Her greatest ambition is to bc God 's child of faith in active service, but she feels called to service in the line of teaching and instructing others. Let us at this place take this testimony as though it were coming from her own lips: The educated rationalist may laugh at you. But tomorrow he will be trodden under foot, and will go down to shame and everlasting con- tempt. 'Stopf you say, 'suppose he graduated from one of the great Univer- sities? or suppose he is at the head of one of the Universities? I can not help that. God makes no special regulation for the graduates of great Universities. Rejecting the Bible. they will go down to be companions of the most abandoned wretehes in the universe. and more miserable than they. because of their su- perior edueation. Une rule for all-for great brain and little brain: for high- foreheaded flreek professor, and for flat-skulled Esquimaux: 'He that be- liveth and is baptized shall be savedg and he that belieevth not shall be damned '. -
