10 TI-IE LARK AN APPRECIATION We deeply feel the inadequacy of words to express our feeling as to what the faculty has meant to us, the College Sophomore class. We will never be able to fully appreciate, and never be able to repay what they by their lives of ex- ample, sacrifice, and admonition have given us. IRVIN E. BURKHART Bible, Psychology A.

THE LARK 9 THE BASIS OF LOYALTY Esther Good We do what we do because we are what we are. We think of loyalty as faithfulness to a cause, a principle, or a duty. It is also a feeling or sentiment accompanying our sense of allegiance to the cause we have espoused. The sentimental part of loyalty we express in our speeches, songs, and testimonies. The expressions that prove loyalty are our actions. The hireling fleeth because he is an liireling and careth not for the sheep. Ordinarily he may care for the sheep quite well, he may find pasture and water for them, and we cannot tell he is a hireling. When the wolf comes he flees because of the danger in which he himself is involved. We do not find him faithful to his duty or loyal to his mas- ter. His interests are within himself and only because the business affords him means to gratify himself, does he attend to his duties. He is prompted by no interest outside of his own. May we find a similar reason for a lack of loyalty in our own lives? We are mere hirelings. We have not es- poused, adopted, or embraced the cause in which we work. We are Christians or church members because of the bene- fits to ourselves. When anything happens t h a t re- quires a sacrifice of our own interests or involves a loss to us, we act the part of the hireling because that is what we are. If I can have a higher motive in my work, I believe it will solve the question of loyalty. It must be a motive outside of self. I must espouse a cause higher and greater than myself and lose myself in it. It will be my highest desire to see that cause prosper, and all my energies will be bent toward that end. Never will my own interests come between me and the cause in which I believe with all my heart. The ques- tions of loyalty to my cause are then settled because that cause is my life. Instead of me living in the church me1'ely, it is a question of Christ living in me, and of His Spirit filling my whole being. Then the question of loyalty to Christ is settled, for His business is my business, and I am no longer a hireling. The natural expression of the Christ Spirit within me is bound to be that of loyalty to the One who implanted that Spirit. Hehcannot be untrue to Himself and it follows that when He is my very life I will not be untrue to Him, but my life will be the constant expression of true loyalty. 0 Loyalty is to believe in something eternal and to express that belief in the practical life of a human being.
