Obedience means that we live in Cod. And if we live in Him, our lives bear the stamp of Christ. And of this life of obedience jim Elliot has written in his journal, Live to the hilt every situation you believe to be the will of God. This work was founded by Dr. and Mrs. Pierre Wilds DuBose in 1934, in accordance with God's will shown to them and following the pattern which He gave of complete trust in Him, and in every phase of the five-fold program of the school there is a joyous abandonment to Cod and obedience to Him in the training of the students whom He has placed here. The young people are constantly surrounded with all that leads to spiritual growth, with a strong emphasis on their own private devotional life, that they might know Him in a very vital, personal way. Daily chapel and vesper services, as well as the Sunday services, the fall evangelistic meeting, and the spring Bible Conference are taught by men and women of Cod - outstanding Christian laymen, Bible teachers, pastors, evangelists, and missionaries - all of whom bring inspiration and blessing. The spiritual is carried over into every phase of the school life. Scholastic standards are higher and concentration greater as each student realizes his 'or her own lack of knowledge, but when they know Him . . . that teacheth man knowledge . . .U Psalm 94:10, they claim His help. All instruction in the classroom is correlated with the Word of Cod. The discipline of mind which brings correct evaluations, gained through systematic study, is of inestimable value, not only during high school but throughout higher education and future service for the Lord, and is expressed by Betty Elliot- Teach me the values of eternit A y That Christ may be magnified in my body . . . Every student takes part in the physical education program in order that fine, strong, clean bodies be developed for Him and for His service. And in the team sports lessons of cooperation and good sportsmanship are learned, which are so necessary in maintaining a clear Christian testimony. And jesus increased in wisdom and stature and in favour with God and man. Luke 2:52. As this was written of the Lord Iesus Christ, so the students, as potential leaders for Him, grow not only spiritually, mentally, and physically, but in favor with . . . man. Through the social program of the Academy the student gains poise, assurance, and graciousness - qualities so necessary in contacting men for God. Diligence and faithfulness in work are emphasized in Cod's Word - and in the training of those who will serve Him the work program of the Academy is very important, and the spirit of the Lord is shown in the willingness, the faithfulness and the joy in every task done as unto the Lord. Thus to magnify Christ - to prove His faithfulness -- to train Christian leadership who will faithfully serve the Lord in the homeland or go to the far corners of the earth with the message of salvation, counting not their lives dear to themselves, but as His witnesses - bearing the stamp of Christ - Hampden DuBose Academy seeks by the power of God to stand nstedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord . . . I Corinthians 15:58.

l 14 h - 'f-JJ ' I Dr. Pierre Wilds DuBose, President gzfucating for Eternity As we close the twenty-fourth year of Hampden DuBose Academy and enter the quarter-century mark of the school, the years in retrospect are filled with abundant evidence of the blessing of Cod upon the work. Surely . . . there hath not failed one word of all His good promise . . . I Kings 8:56. Materially, the presence and blessing of God throughout the years is evident as He has supplied each need faithfully and on time, in answer to believingpprayer. God has said, The just shall live by faithi' - Habakkuk 2:4, Romans 1:17, Galatians 3:11, Hebrews 10:38. Believing His Word, and inspired by the works and writings of Miss Amy Carmichael, particularly her book, Meal in u Barrel, and the works of George Muller, Hudson Taylor, and others who had stepped out on the promises of Cod and found them true, Dr. and Mrs. Pierre Wilds DuBose founded Hampden DuBose Academy in 1934 - a Christ-cen- tered, co-educational, interdenominational, college-preparatory high school- and named it in honor of the founder's father, Dr. Hampden Coit DuBose, a pioneer missionary to China whose life is recorded in a book, the title of which signifies also the purpose of the school, For the Glory of God. They carefully followed the pattern which Cod had given of complete trust in Him, making each need known to Him alone and not to man. This is true both for the school and for each member of the faculty and staff as each one, individually, looks to the Lord alone for the supply of each need. In so doing the testimony of His faithfulness has been spread abroad to His glory. And the life of faith has drawn each 'member of the personnel of the school close to the Lord - and the thrill of seeing young lives changed and moulded by Him and dedicated to His service dur- ing these formative high school years would not be exchanged by any of the group whom God has called to this work. In the physical, the glory of Cod is shown in His handiwork on the beautiful, two-hundred acre campus with its breath-taking beauty of flowering azaleas, and other exotic semi-tropic plants and flowers. Many varieties of palms and ferns, as well as the moss-festooned oaks and the stately eucalyptus trees add charm, while acres of citrus groves yield nectars to delight the palate. The beauties of the Florida sky are mirrored in lovely Lake Margaret, refreshing to the sight and enjoyed by all in the abundant water sports - swimming, diving, water cycling, sailing, or boating - or skimming along behind the boats on the water skis, aquaplane, or water toboggan. But above all else, the spiritual blessings of these years stand in bold relief, and we rejoice as we see our children walking in truth, II Iohn 4, serving the Lord as they go from us to pursue their further education and then to bear a con- sistent testimony for Him in the business world, in professions, or in full-time service for the Lord in the ministry, in evangelism, or on mission fields far and near. What greater evidence of the power and blessing of Cod than in lives yielded to Him and used for His glory! As Pierre DuBose, Jr. '45, has recently written from Brazil where he and his wife, Lois Harris DuBose '48, are missionaries, I go with a fresh desire to order my steps more carefully in order that they, each one, provide more eternal value. Our hearts are humbled by His goodness - our faith is strengthened by His daily sufficiency in all things, our confi- dence is only in Him, for it is Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, saith the Lord of hosts. Zechariah 4:6.

HEMISTRY opens the doorway to the world of the atom, and the student learns the basic scientific principles so essential for further education in scientific Helds. The course in chemistry gives a comprehensive study of matter-its composition, character- istics, and chemical changes. Students participate in performing labora- tory experiments, and this experience assists in clarifying the factual material contained in the textbook. Physiography deals with ' the observation and study of the universe as well as the inves- tigation of the earthis surface, and introduces the student to the fields of oceanography, meteorology, geology, and mineralogy. Addi- tional knowledge is obtained through student projects, such as weather forecasting, which puts into practical use the textbook facts con- cerning atmospheric conditions. Mechanical Drawing, with its emphasis on exactness, disciplines the student to follow in- structions with accuracy and neatness. In addition to the regular textbook drawings, projects for the individual student include the designing of a car, plane, motor, house, or school building. HYSICS has to do with the essential facts concerning the properties and processes of the material world. Included in this course is the application of basic scientific laws in detailed experiments performed by the students themselves. In addition to learning the textbook ma- terial, the student is trained to use instruments for making accurate measurements, and is led to use logical reasoning in finding the solution for scientific problems. Biology, the science of living things, endea- vors to arouse in each student a consciousness of the miracles in the animal and plant life all around him. Numerous Held trips, together with various individual projects, provide ample opportunity for the pupil to correlate the book knowledge acquired in the classroom with practical, first-hand experience. General Science, a course which is an open- ing into a captivating world of scientific mar- vels, furnishes the freshman student with an over-all picture of basic fundamentals neces- sary for more advanced and concentrated studies in science courses such as biology, chemistry, and physics. .
