fp Religious Activities Of Our College t' OW beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of gpeace, and bring glad tidings of good things. This precious bit from the Book of books has been verified in our college this year. The students have sought to carry the glad tidings to those in sinls dark night. On Sunday afternoons many of them have gone to the poorer sections of Frankfort to show the people of these districts the way of life ever-lasting. Members of the Sociology class wishing to obtain information for themselves concerning the social conditions have also gone to visit homes. They did not go just to receive information alone, but to tell the old, old story so dear to the heart of every follower of the Cross. These visits have proved great blessings to the visitor and the visited. The President, Vice-president, and Secretary of the Pilgrim Holiness Young Peoples' Society of the State of Indiana are members of our student body. These young people have been going over the week end to the different churches in the districts to aid the local societies in their work. The State President held several revivals during this school year. One of our students is pastoring the Forest church, and conducted their spring revival. Other students assisted in this meeting by song and preach- ing. Our mathematics teacher organized a Missionary Band who not only ask God to help and bless the Missionaries but put feet to their prayers by making promise boxes, and Scripture picture puzzles. Pictures from Scripture Text Calendars have been shellaced on both sides and bound. These can be used in lesson instruction. Sunday school papers and cards are collected and toys are being made from spools. Scrap books are also being made by these young people and these will be a blessing to our missionaries. The Deaconess and her co-workers have been busy during the school year visiting in the homes of the sick and poor, and distributing clothing and food to the needy. At Thanksgiving time a special effort was made to reach every needy family in the city. While ministering to the body, opportunities are presented to minister to the soul. He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth tothe Lord. During the first semester teachers and students held services at the County Farm. The hearts of these poor old people were made glad by the good tidings of great joy carried so willingly to them by these soldiers of King lmmanuel. We hope many precious souls may be gathered from this sowing of the seed of God's word. The Chapel services begin the day for us and the Lord graciously meets with us. Here He gives strength and grace, and binds our hearts together in His love. The messages, which are delivered by our President, the teachers, and visiting ministers, inspire us to seek the Lord more and to love and serve Him better. In these services we have seen the outpouring of the Holy Spirit in old-fashioned conviction and souls have fallen at the altar and there found the joy and peace they sought. Sometimes it seems that Heaven comes a lit- tle nearer and our hearts are melted in adoration and praise to Him, who has saved and sanctified us by His own precious blood. The lasting results of these activities of students and teachers will probably never be known until the day of final reckoning. -Helen Andrew. ..45. 1 .. . ... ...... 1 g ilqQxg

L. C. PHILO Michigan Degree: B. D. The steps of a good man are or- dered by the Lord: and he delighteth in his way. More holiness give me, More strivings Withing More patience in suff'ring More sorrow for sin, More faith in my Savior More sense of His care: More joy in His service. More purpose in prayer. Last night I saw a faint yellow light struggling with feeble timidity against some angry eloudsg they gathered against the light as if determined to shut it out and the pale moon seemed too languid for resistance, but the breeze eame to help her: the thickening clouds were broken, and the moon seemed to take heart: brighter and brighter were her mild beams, until at last she stood up in the southern sky, the clouds all gone, like an angel watching from afar the flowers which the sun had just forsaken. In these words we feel that. we have introduced to you something of the spirit of earnest battling against the powers that have opposed him and his de- pendence upon the Holy Spirit who so sweetly tights his battles and upon whom he depends. Perhaps Brother Philo has fought just such battles as are written in the light and the elouds, a thousand times. A few words often writes a great biography. L. C. Philo came from Michi- gan to us, seeking to know more about Fhrist, the Holy Spirit, Redemption, and how to carry the Gospel messages to the lost. Having tinishecl his col- lege course he pursued the Theological course and received his diploma May twenty-eighth. He loved the secret place of prayer and was very active in the work of Christ. lfle is now serving a second year as president of the Young Peoples' Society of the Pilgrim Church of Indiana. During his second year of school he was ordained as a minister of the Gospel. In brief, his conscious- ness calls him to meet the highest standards, the deepest spirituality, and the best standards, in his profession and in his ministry. .48-
