We must keep alive this willingness to be led by His spirit by seeking to know His ' will. Our trust in Him must be a reality every moment of our lives. 1lIn order to receive help to live this victorious life during the days, the weeks, and years before us, we have a Week of Prayer, both in the fall and in the spring. These are periods of rich blessings. They are seasons in which students and teach- ers alike join in a week of special consecration and of seeking God in prayer. Many who have grown indifferent renew their hold upon spiritual things. Some whose hearts are hardened surrender their lives to God. Prof. H. J. Sheldon and Elder C. M. Babcock were with us in the fall, and Elders N. R. Nelson and I. J. Bjerke were with us in the spring. They brought to us many thoughts which will help us, though we may fall, to rise with a deter- mination to press on daily in a life of victory. Pr.-iq er Prayer goeth up as doth the mist, And swift is its ascent, Far, far beyond the heights sun-kissed, Or cloudy battlement. It traveleth not on wings of air, Nor seen upon its flight, And faileth not till it shall dare Make entrance in the temple where It loving audience hath. Because the heavens are full of prayer, The earth is full of hope. Thus through the void of our despair, With promise we look up. Presented in His name alone Who came for us to die, We leave our plea at His dear throne, Who loves His answer to make known As rain sent from on high. -Selected. 47 3113ifZiflEEffZE2f1 QfI Iii

The youthful faces of boys and girls were turned ex- pectantly toward the front of the room. Professor Hein was giving a tg travelogue of his trip to the West last summer. He took us with him through the mountain passes, through beautiful valleys, to cliff dwell- ings, and for 8000 miles of marvelous scenery. Before he could bring us home again, however, the bell insisted that it was time for the next class. This was only one of the chapel talks given at Maplewood during 1930-31. Never has the school enjoyed a more interesting and pleasing variety of topics presented by the teachers than this year. Professor McComb made the old saying that All roads lead to Rome have a new and deeper meaning to the school family. Elder Gulbrandson drew from a seemingly endless store thrilling tales of the sea, from which he taught many spiritual truths. That a pipe organ can be made to sound like a large orchestra was one of the thoughts presented by Mrs.Pettis. Etiquette has its demands on every one. Miss Culpepper showed with unique illustrations what is proper , and also gave customary advice on everyday good manners. Elder Yost and Miss Tubbs left us much food for thought by their earnest spiritual talks. That Work is honorable .was one of the impressions left by Professor Fowler as he spoke of workers and drones, while Mr. Long revealed a few of the mys- teries of printing with its power over the minds of men. Since Miss Yaeger had traveled through the West last summer also, she had some wonders to relate about Carlsbad Cavern in New Mexico where one can roam for seven miles through gorgeous underground palaces. Though one may sit for years and listen to words of wisdom and knowledge from those who instruct us daily, and go away from school without any definite recollections of the good things heard, yet like the rocks on the seashore polished by the waves, the impressions of these chapel hours will have a lasting influence for good on the individual character and mind.
