n: r 1 E. MCLAPK, President Bl: I:':I NORIH CENTPAL BIBLE COLLEGE 910 ElliotAve.So.,Minneopolis,Minn.5541011 312-332-3491 Dear Friends: It has taken time, money, and effort to arrive at the destination you set out for four years ago. Less than SOY: of those who started with you have persisted until graduation. The fact that you have finished what you started is a mark in your favor. People who accomplish worthwhile things in life are usually those who stay with the job until it is completed. After living and working in the Church for a long time, I have found that this is the most gratifying work I have ever done. Working for God and dealing with people are the two highest types of work anyone can choose. I know that it will bring happiness and satisfaction to you as it has to me. Your name will always appear on my list of friends. You have made me proud of you. Your friendship has enriched my life. I feel so much richer for having known you. I have tried to be of service to you while you have been here. If there is ever a time when I can help you in the future, always know that I am interested in your welfare. What you do now as you go to work full time in the field you have Chosen will bring real satisfaction to your parents, your pastor, your family, your friends , and to those of us here at North Central who have tried to help you prepare for your life's work. We are expecting you to succeed. Our love and prayers will follow you as you leave this college. Keep the faith, be true to the God given call which brought you here, and never accept second best. I wish you God's best for your life and ministry. Sincerely your friend , E . M . Clark President EMC:amb

DESIDERA TA 0 PLACIDLY AMID THE NOISE 8L HASTE, 8L G REMEMBER WHAT PEACE THERE MAY BE IN SILENCE. AS FAR AS POSSIBLE WITHOUT surrender be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly 86 clearly; and listen to others, even the dull 8L ignorant; they too have their story. b Avoid loud 8L aggressive persons, they are vexations to the spirit. If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain 8L bitter; for always there will be greater 86 lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. ls Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time. Exercise caution in your business affairs; for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals; and everywhere life is full of heroism. $3 Be yourself. Especially, do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity 8L disenchantment it is perennial as the grass. 58 Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things ofyouth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue 85 loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. $0 You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees 85 the stars;you have a right to be here. And a whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is un- folding as it should. So Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be,.and whatever your labors 8L aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul. 58 With all its sham, drudgery 8L broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be careful. Strive to be happy. 5.9 $0 FOUND IN OLD SAINT PAUL'S CHURCH; BALTIMORE; DATED X602
