Qbuiaurunre im' If thou hast run with the footinen, And they have wearied thee, How canst thou strain the prize to gain With the coursers strong and free? And if in the land thou trustest, The tranquil land of peace, Thou canst not control thy weary soul Till the test of strength shall cease, Then what wilt thou do in the swelling Of Jordan's waters wide, When boundaries fail and the floods prevail In torrents of scorn and pride? And if on thy homeward journey, When trials are scarce begun, Thy heart grows faint, and sore complaint Thou sighest for rest unwon. Then how canst thou brave the shadows That yet will darken the way, Or walk through the gloom that seems the doom Of every cheering ray? How canst thou bear thy burden With strength and courage gone, Or lend a hand to this alien land To help thy brother on? If the hope of thy heart is fading, And the light of life is dim, If the shadows fall, and the night's dark pall Hides even a planet's rim, If thy heart must ache in silence And grieve in the dusk alone, And sadly dream no grief can seem In bitterness like thine own, Then say to thy soul, Have courage, For God is thy strength and cheer! Thy hope in Him need never dim, And thou to Him art dear.

President Montana Wesleyan, 1911. Dr. Bovard has devoted his entire time for the last two years entirely to the endowment campaign and, to our sorrow, we have seen only a little of this big, jolly, cheerful gentleman. He wasespecially honored by the Montana Conference, when it elected him as Ministerial Delegate to the General Conference at Saratoga, N. Y. He has been striving ardently and diligently for a greater Wesleyan. MISS MARY EVA FOSTER, M. A. Portland University, A. B., 1893. Portland University, M. A., 1896. Montana Wesleyan University, 1899. Aside from her strenuous class-work consisting of Latin, German and a class in Greek, Miss Foster has always found time to be influential in the personal affairs of the student who cared to find a close, helpful friend. She has woven herself into the Y. W. C. A., which owes its power and influence largely to her originality.
