perfect that which He has begun in us. Realizing the marvelous change al- ready wrought in us, hope has taken hold and we have been enabled to pursue a more steady course. During these four years of training, ambitions have at times filled our bosoms,-ambitions to enter a field of service for which our finite reason told us we would be more fitted. But, again, Cod would direct the counsel and advice of our teacher for us, which steadied our flighty desires. But still despite these steadying influences that have surrounded us, we have encountered along the way dangerous and subtle tendencies to tangents. Tendencies toward modernism, harmful attitudes, and unsettled Christian ex- perience. uncertainties as to viewpoints as well as the pursuit of studies to the neglect of prayer life so often lead astray. The tendencies of the modern youth to slip just outside the consecrated circle of tied are so numerous but the overcoming grace and power which is ours through Christ is far greater, mightier, yes,-all sufficient. During these years in school the blessed Holy Spirit has certainly used the lives of those around us to establish us in Him, to fix us on the rock, Christ Jesus. We have often watched our godly President, Brother Taylor, our teachers and fellow students during times of severe trial and we have seen how through prayer and faith God has sent marvelous deliveranees to them, has empowered them to accomplish much for Him. And now after four years our college days, days blessed by the memory of the manifestations of Cod in our chapel services, in our classrooms and in com- munion with Him, are drawing to a close. We are thankful to God for these permanent and vital changes which, throughout this time, have been wrought in our estimations or spiritual and material values, changes which have given us a clearer, truer vision of things temporal and eternal. Our faith and con- lidcnce in Cod and in the authority of His VVord has been so strengthened through these years that we are now, looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great Cod and our Saviour Jesus Christ . In that day will be revealed all that Frankfort Pilgrim College has done for us, for only eternity can reveal the indelible influence of this school upon our souls. I CHRISTIANITY AND EDUCATION Christianity redeems us, not from sin only, but from all narrowness, meanness, and littlencss of conception, it puts great thought into our hearts and bold words into our mouths, and leads us out from our village prisons to behold all nations of mankind. Cn this ground alone, Christianity is the educator in the world. It will not allow the soul to be mean. It forces the heart to be noble and hopeful. It says, Go and teach all nations, Go ye into all the world, Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others, t'Givc and it shall be given unto you. It is something to have a voice so Divine ever stirring the will and mingling CO1111- sels. It is like a sea-breeze blowing over a sickly land, like sunlight piercing the fogs of a long dark night. If we have nar1'ow sympathies, mean ideas, paltry conceptions, we are not scholars in the school of Christ. We are citi- zens of the world, let us bring no reproach upon Christ by our exclusiveiiessf' .-40-.
