Message from the President Wise men in every age have laid great stress upon preparation. Preparedness is a watchword today. The intrigue of plotters against liberty calls for constant watchfulness and instant readiness. If worldly men sense the need of being ready for emergency, should not we who are the children of God? We are in the conflict of the ages. The battle is not a possible one or a probable one for us; it is on! To enter the fray, to face the foe in the thickest of the battle is foolhardy, unless we are prepared. These have been days of preparation. In one sense such days never end. However, never forget the prepar- 14 ation you have learned here. May your soul be prepared by the Word of God, by prayer, by trial. May your mind be prepared by diligent study, by careful, pains- taking, meticulous search. May your body be prepared by healthful exercise and by daily care. May your spirit be prepared by communion with the known and the loved Lord. Remember, he who ascends the hill of the Lord— as the conqueror who was prepared and who by God’s provision overcame—is He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; Who hath not lifted up his soul unto falsehood, And hath not sworn deceitfully.”
