ian? i The Story of Hinsdale LORENA NVATTS A S N a little farm in Raymond, W'isconsin, nestled among the hills and wood- 5 ,gl land, David Paulson, the founder of the Hinsdale Sanitarium was born. Wlhen 5 six years of age his parents moved to South Dakota, where as he later 'ni' expressed it, he grew up on the western plains. XVheu seventeen yt-in-5 old, ln- contracted diphtheria and in a few days was brouelit very near de:tth's door, XX'ht-n he learned he had only a few hours to live, he promised the Lord he would unreservedly dedicate his life to Him, should he be spared, God heard that prayer. The promise made on his death-bed brought him to Battle Creek College, to Ann Arbor Medical School and Bellevue Hospital. It brought him to a life of toil among the poor and sick of Chicago, and later to the task of building up the Hinsdale Sanitarium. David Paulson wanted to train medical missionaries who would follow the example of the One who went about doing' gootl. Though poor in this world's goods but rich in faith he felt conviction in his heart that the Lord wanted him to start a sanitarium near Chicago. After earnest prayer over the matter of a location, : former patient donated ten acres of land with buildings to be used for this purpose This offer was thankfully accepted. In the spring of 1905, Dr. Paulson with his faithful wife, whom we know now as Dr, Mary Neall, left Chicago and came to Hinsdale. They were without money so knelt down on the hillside, asking God to send them one hundred dollars to help clear the neglected grounds. Two days latei a man whom Dr. Paulson had seen but twice, whose name he did not know, sent : check for one hundred dollars. Shortly afterward another prayer was answered when a lady in Chicago offered a loan of 32,500 Bonds were issued on the ground and after several more loans were sent in, there was money enough to complete a building of forty'six rooms. The hrst patient came before the front steps were built. In a short time therq were liftyesix patients and others waiting to be admitted. The Lord greatly blessel the work of healing the sick and many were healed by prayer when nothing el could be done for them, Dr. Paulson, as a physician, always sought to relieve physical suffering, yet more, his chief ambition was to point the patient to the Great Healer, who alone can relieve the agony of a sinsick soul. Graduates from Hinsdale may now be found in almost every country on thi globe. Many are giving their lives in service to others in the far remote corners of the world's needy held. May the example of this man of God who founded our dear Hinsdale, inspire us ever onward to a life of devotion to God's service an' may we each fultill the purpose for which this institution was founded. ARE YOU WORTH MORE THAN THIS? According to scientihc investigations, the ingredients of a man plus water are as follows: Fat enough for seven bars of soap, iron enough for a medium-sized nail, sugar enough to fill a shaker, lime enough to whitewash a chicken coop, phosphorus enough to make 2,200 match tips, magnesium enough for a dose of salts, potassium enough to explode a toy cannon, and sulphur enough to rid a dog of Heesfl This whole collection is worth ninety-eight cents and that in a day when things Forty-six

l SENIOR CLASS responsibilities. These advantages make us debtors to society. Some members ot' tltis class undoubtedly will continue their education in some other school. Otliers with the preparation they have, x '4.' ill eo into the great school of life, where experience is the stern teacher, whose lessons are never forgotten. llut it matters not where we go, the debt remains. ,Xnd tlirongh service only can this debt be paid. Service is expensive, and sotneone must pay the price. The world pays for service and pays well. llut the true servant of mankind pays for service with his own self-sacritice.

Thus tar we have traveled along a pleasant way together, and during' these happy days we have been learning lessons that will prepare us tor the sterner duties of life. XVhile these four years have been passing, one after the other, we have scarcely thought of the forking of the road. Hut now as the summit of the hill is reached, the main road appears to stop and gives place to many paths diverging in as litany directions. Each must choose his own, trusting in the Gite who has promised to go with him even unto the end. He must follow that narrow path out into the world and into the work which the Master has for him to do, lYe must XX'in, though it costs. XVe must win, not in our own .ttert power, but in the power of Him of whom l:'aul said, I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.
