NX,x y A ffl ? ..1,.. ,, 5 ri-.,,,,- Senior Hrstorq Sadie Hartzler A history! A record where so much must be omitted and so comparatively little included! VVe were represented in our Junior year by eight members in all. Two dropped out during the year and one entered. This year two new members were added while two did not return to the class. So we are six. Y 1 ,,, W, . ,. , ,. X -X, Yi 7 X, ...A ff WWA qful!lIlll f S , 5' E Ks - 47 f W lr ' .X , 5 s ' aw - X A , ' ff fekf' fee Q , I VVe were, as six distinct channels, blended into one. For a short time we ran our course together. Three of us came from Iowa. One has not wandered far but has his home in this fair state. One comes from Canada, and yet another from Ohio. Before we came together here most of us had been in other schools, some of us have had the helpful experience of teachingg some have had work by correspondence from state institutionsg and what has helped to make our lives more complete-we all came from the farm. From North, East, and VVest we came to spend a few years together having a common aim-to receive further training for life's work. Only a short time ago and we were 11015 aware of each others existence. But we met. What a big, all-embracing thing friendship is. As we met we saw in each other characteristics that were beautiful and helpful and worthwhile. Because of it our ideals,were raised just a little higher. On the other hand, as we met opposite tendencies sometimes arose, they bade us build our fortifications stronger. So have we met-now that our history comes to a close we part. VVe part- 1l0t to forget each other but to get strength as we rememberg we part-with the ideals of an institution making our lives bigger and better, we part-richer because of the work of the classroom, the helpful guidance of conscientious instructors, and the spiritual influences of a christian school. VVe are glad we met. VVe. regret that parting comes so soon. As we look back over our past experiences we must believe that another will besides our own was planning the direction of our paths. We did not come together as a group of people miscellaneously thrown into each other's company. We were brought together to learn better the mysteries of life about us. We desired to prepare for more efficient service. As we look back we fear we have often fallen short of the goal we anticipated-not because of any fault on the part of others, but from our .own lack of endeavor. There are other factors in the history of a class. VVe have thoroughly enjoyed our associations with the members of the other college classes. You have done much- much more than we realize-to make our school life what it was. As we met you in the halls, in the classroom, in our games, in .our religious meetings you were a source of inspiration-an inspiration that will go with us as we leave. Q Then there is another factor. As we think back, how much is due after all to the faculty with whom we met. How much these few short years are bound up and interwoven with the ideals and influences of the leaders of our Alma lllater. The time spent here will always be a bright spot on the pages of our memories. Because -you have been a most potent factor in our history we shall always look back to you with appreciation and highest regard. Go thou thy way, and I go mineg And 'God keep watch 'tween thee and me' Apart, yet not afar. This is my prayerg Only a thin veil hangs between He looks thy way, He looketh mme, The pathways where we are. And keeps us near. I .............

X 4 F ,, Z 'ca ias:i1.,.1,,L wrt Q , ' 1 if S 'M ' T Christus lmperator gy, CChrist is Loran w Q A: g In the twentieth chapter of the Gospel of John we have given the record of an H outstanding event in the relationship of Christ and his disciples. It is the story of 5 , Thomas and Jesus in that moment of moments when the doubter is commanded to X l place his finger in the nail print, and to thrust his hand into the spear-riven side. The heart of Thomas melted within him, and in faith believing he answered: lVIy l V, Lord and my God. His doubts were swept away. They found their culmination l ,Q and climax in worship and adoration. He may have been a doubter, but to doubt is n human. The other disciples too would see before they believed. In every case the I , result was the same. To each one Jesus became Christ the Lord. I YVe too, tonight, call him Christ the Lord. Our misunderstanding hearts some- ,1 times covet an experience identical with that of the disciples. Our imagination would of lead us back with lXIary lXIagdelene toithe door of' the .empty tomb, there firstito IQ ' f meet him face to face, and first to call him, Rabbon1, which is to say lllasterug with X Peter and john into the sepulchre to witness the forsaken graveclothes: with the Q, disciples to the upper room where he breathed on them the Spirit of Peaceg or even fi y N with Thomas to be commanded to reach hither our finger. But Friends. retrospect is ,' f Q useful only insofar as it does not obscure our prospect. Our Lord promised to give ' log us a Comforter in his stead. One who should tell us the things that then we could T0 5 l not bear. One who should lead and guide us into all truth. One who should show l unto us the things of the Blaster himself. One who should be an interpreter of ' , the revealed VVord. And to this YVord we turn for a few glimpses at the lklajesty I l , of the Lord jesus Christ. One of the outstanding truths is the utterance of Paul wherein he makes him 5 6 the Lord of time, of creation, and of eternity. By him were all things created, N wg that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible. Alllthings were ' D! created by him and for him: and he is before all things, and by him all things consist , B ' CCOI. 1:16-i7D. This sweeping utterance reaches back to the beginning, back to X 4 the infinite and the eternal. Reason follows to the brink of infinity, there to pause , and gasp at the stupendousness of the revelation. Is there actually such an one whose E A existence is not from time immemorial, but from eternityg with whom finite mortals ll I ,, are vitally connected, and thereby assured of immortality? , ' , The apostle says, In him all things consist. He is the controlling agent of 0 ii the universe which he brought into existence. The abounding and endless forms of ' life, the circling worlds, the planets seen and unseen, all have their existence, their V y 1 center, and their unity in him. He is the creator of them all. VVhether, in the - , X M heavens above, we think of the rolling spheres pursuing their trackless way through K 1 countless milleniums, or of those myriad shining intelligences who on hovering wings , 9 are ever ready at the divine command to 'post o'er land and ocean without rest' ,- li g all were created by our Christ and for him. And, whether, in the earth beneath, We r f think of its massive mountains, or its fearsome forests, or its swelling seas, or its 4 rushing rivers, or its limpid lakes, or its priceless hidden treasures, or its limitless life l 2 in the ocean, on the earth, and in the air, rational and non-rational,-all were created ' ' Q by our Christ and for him. Q , ff But this is too wonderful for us. The rationalist revolts, and the man of faith 1 S is overwhelmed. Each thinks that such stupendous truth cannot be so simply explained. , S Each would ask: Was not the universe always in existence ? But the word always A 9 involves endlessness, infinity, and we cannot conceive infinity either of things visible f will L . x x' T' ' t W f ' Z I4 iMNv ' r'r ., ' I J Y ,245 ..,.....- M .,,:fr,'24.a.,'f..fa,....msiaf?2...Q....1,-Wq?M 22
