Cfjrist djf incomparable 13v Dr. V. B. Rii.ey Have this mind in you, which was a iso in Christ Jesus; who , existing in the form of God t conn ted not the being on an equality with God a thing to be gras ped, but emptied himself y taking the form of a servant y beitig wade in the likeness of men and being found in fashion as a man y he humbled himself, becoming obedient even unto death , vea the death of the cross. Htherefore also God high I x exalted him j and gave unto him the name which is above every name; that in the name of Jesus every knee should bow , of things in heaven and things on earth and things under the earthy and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Fathers ' —Philippians 2:5-11. In how many respects is that an incomparable name? I shall not attempt to answer that in full; but a few suggestions: lie IVas Incomparable In Mental Ability Every ' apocryphal gospel tells remarkable things about the youth of Jesus. The true Gospels mention little of His youth, but when it is touched, His mental abilities are uncovered. At twelve years of age His parents at the feast, in leaving, missed Him. After they had gone a great way toward home chey made the discovery that the lad was not with them, and went back, “and it came to pass, after three davs they found Him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the teachers, both hearing them, and asking them questions; and all that heard him were amazed at his understanding and his answers.” Again in the Word of God we are told that “He grew”, not only “in stature”, but bn wisdom”, and that is easily accepted as a fact. The moment His public ministry begins, men stand astounded, and even His enemies consent ”never man spake like this man.” On one occasion, when He had finished with the deliverv of certain parables. He came into His own country, and taught them in their synagogue, “insomuch that they were astonished, and said, ' Whence hath this man this wisdom, and these mighty works? Is not this the carpenter ' s son? Is not his mother called Mary? Whence, then, hath this man all these things? ' He was a product of no school and vet His speech has given rise to the great schools of the centuries. He was the author of no code of laws, yet His declara¬ tions determine the righteousness of all law He engaged in no philosophical speculations, yet all philosophers are compelled to sit at His feet, He formulated no distinct system of theology, yet the only theology worthy of attention of men, and calculated to do aught for a sinning, dying world, is that which is in the strictest keeping with His wonderful words. He IVas Incomparable In Mighty Accomplishments Dwight Hill is never said a truer t hing, than when he wrote, “Our wonder grows apace when we remem her that He wrote no hook, no poem, no drama, no philosophy; invented no tool or instrument; fashioned no law or institution; discovered no medicine or remedy; outlined no philosophy of mind or body; contributed nothing to geology or astronomy, hut stood at the end of His brief career, doomed and deserted, solitary and silent, utterly helpless, fronting a shameless trial and a pitiless execution In that hour none so poor as to do Him reverence And yet could some magician have touched men ' s eyes they would have seen that no power in heaven and no force on earth for majesty and pro¬ ductiveness could equal or match this crowned sufferer whose name was to he ' Wonderful ' The ages have come and gone; let us hasten to confess that the Page Fifteen 2 : sJl “ tubp to sfjoto tfjpstelf approbeb unto ob, rigf)tlp bibibmg tfje 1$orb of fErutf).” T jjj carpenter ' s Son hath lifted the gates of empires off their hinges and turned the streams of the centuries out of their channels. His spirit hath leavened ail literature; He lias made laws just, governments humane, manners gentle, even cold marble warm; He refined art by new and divine themes, shaped those cathedrals called ' frozen prayers ' , led scientists to dedicate their books and dis¬ coveries to Him, and so glorified an instrument of torture as that the very queen among beautiful women seeks to enhance her loveliness hv hanging His cross about her neck, while new inventions and institutions seem but letters in His jjj storied speech. Today His birthday, alone, is celebrated by all the nations, jjj All peoples and tribes claim Him, None hath arisen to dispute His throne, jjj Plato divides honours with Aristotle; Bacon walks arm in arm with Newton; jjj Napoleon does not monopolize the admiration of soldiers. In poetry, music and jjj art, and practical life, universal supremacy is unknown. But Jesus Christ is so jjj opulent in His gifts, so transcendent in His words and works, so unique in His jjj life and death, that He receives universal honours.” lie Was Incomparable In Essential Character Idle world for many centuries, so far as it has read the Scriptures at all, has been well nigh a unit in its exalted judgment of Jesus, In fact, the picture given in the four Gospels is just exactly such as to confirm the basis for Dr. Carnegie Simpson ' s claim that no such character could ever have been conceived apart from its actual existence. He quotes J. S + Mill as having declared, It is no use III to say that Christ, as exhibited in the Gospels, is not historical, and that we know jjj not how much of what is admirable has been superadded by the traditions of His jii followers.” It is no use, because, as Mills adds, who among His disciples, or iii their proselytes is capable of inventing the sayings ascribed to Jesus or of imagin- jii mg such a life and character? The only way in the world to account tor their work is to suppose that they spoke in utter veracity. They had a model and they copied it faithfully, and because the model was faultless, the reproduction, being jjj faithful, was perfect, also.” This character of Jesus becomes the more resplendent when one remembers the day in which He was born and lived. As another says, ft was an hour when jjj tyranny and crime had gone upon a carnival. It seemed as if despots had jjj determined to leave on earth not one of the gifted children of song or eloquence jjj or philosophy or morals. Herod, who ruled over Christ ' s city, murdered his two brothers, his wife, Mariamne, slew the children of Bethlehem, and, dying, ordered his nobles to be executed, that mourning for the king might be wide¬ spread. Yet in such an era, when He saw a thousand wrongs being achieved, Christ maintained His serenity, and reigned victorious over life ' s troubles.” And one might add, He provided a solution for every sorrow and a salvation |j from every sin.

The family soon after moved to Ken¬ tucky, where William Bell Riley grew to young manhood together with his five brothers and three sisters. An intense longing to have an education was instilled in the breast of William and the other children by their Quaker mother. This desire, coupled with the determination for which he later became famous, sent William to V alparaiso University, where he took a normal school course. When he asked for admittance to Hanover College, it was necessary for him to make up his lack of High School training, together with his other studies. He did this by diligent application, and received his B. A. and M. A. degrees from this institution. He graduated from the Louisville Theological Seminary in and some years later received the title of I). 1). from Southwestern University. Brought up in a Christian home, William was converted in a little country jjj church when he was seventeen years old. He went to the altar alone. Often jjj in referring to this experience, Dr, Riley has spoken of the need he felt of a jjj sympathetic human touch at this crucial moment, and has used this as an il- j|j lustration of the value of personal work. Up to the time of his conversion and |j for some time after, his great ambition was to he a lawyer. He plowed the fields to the accompaniment of legal arguments with imaginary opponents, and when the conviction came that he was chosen of the Lord to bear His Word to the people, every nerve was taut with resistance and every thought rebelled. The Spirit won the battle, however, and one day W. IL Riley knelt in a freshly turned furrow, and turning Ins face heavenward, laid his life at the Master ' s feet, little dreaming to what use that yielded life would lie put, or through what fires the pathway of surrender would lead, ill The subject of his first sermon was, in a way, prophetic of the work to which he ill has given his life. It was preached in a little country church and was on the jjj text, Thou shalt have no other gods before me.” His first pastorate was in Hi a church without a house” in Carrollton, Kentucky. Services were held in the jjj courthouse, and the pastor received the yearly stipend of two hundred dollars. Ill In six months the power of God came upon the people, a revival began, and a III new church was erected. | While attending the Louisville Theological Seminary, and preaching in the Baptist Church of New Albany, Indiana, Dr, Riley not only assisted his brother in securing an education, but supported a widowed sister and her family. That generosity and warm-heartedness, which were so early manifested, are essential traits in the man who is today a friend both of ally and opponent in the great battle for truth. It was during his student days that Dr. Riley (then, plain Bill Riley) ill tramped seven miles through the snow to preach in a little village church. For jjj this service he received the offering, which usually amounted to sixty or seventy jjj cents. Then, as now, his reward lay in the joy of service and not in what man jjj could give. Ill r December 31, 1890, William Riley and Miss Lillian Howard were married at Lafayette Indiana. he Lord blessed this union with five sons (one of whom was accidentally killed) and one daughter. Dr. Riley was called to the First Baptist Church of Minneapolis in 1897. At that time he was pastor of the Calvary Baptist Church of Chicago. Only a young man of thirty-five, he entered into the work with characteristic force and energy. He is thus described by a journalist as he appeared at that time: A collection of determination and nervous force, tall, straight of figure, strong- featured, curly dark hair, he avy dark eyebrows, nose of the rather prominent New England cast, determined, vigorous, fearless.” Subsequent events proved that the committee of twenty-one, by which he was called, had made no mistake. From a membership of five hundred and eighty- five, the growth was rapid, until today three thousand names adorn the roster of the church. Property valued at more than a million dollars is owned by the organization, and the names of church and pastor are familiar to millions not only throughout this country, but over the world. ill ;;; 1 he Northwestern Bible and Missionary Training School has grown side by side with the church, although the school is undenominational. Tn 1902 seven members of the church asked for further light on the Word, aside from that received at the regular services, and in the mind which has been characterized as an inexhaustible mine of information” the germ of an idea was planted. If these young people wanted to know the Word, were there not others, everywhere, who harbored the same desire? The thought proved father to the deed, and the history of the school is vibrant with the story of great faith in the promises of an omnipotent God. Again and again God has answered the prayers of this people, until today, the life-giving streams have flowed to the ends of the earth from the classrooms of Northwestern. hen Modernism began to make its inroads on the church, Dr. Riley organized the Christian Fundamentals Association in Philadelphia, in the year 1918, serving as its executive secretary from that moment until 1926; since then, as its president. It is due to his intrepid spirit, that this association has functioned so efficiently in the ten years of its existence. Not the least of Dr. Riley ' s accompl ishments are the many books and pam¬ phlets, which have come from his busy and prolific pen. Notable among the books are Christ the Incomparable”, “The Perennial Revival”, “The Evolution of the Kingdom”, Inspiration or Evolution , and his greatest work, that in which he is now engaged, the publication of forty volumes called The Bible of the Expositor and trie Evangelist”. As students we wish to pay tribute to the one who is both teacher and friend, the one to whom we owe our school and the training which will fit us for the service to which our Superintendent has given his life—the service of our Lord and King. Page Twenty-eight £ ttr ©cans In the fall of 1926, Mr. R. L. Moyer, pastor of a Minneapolis church, who had taught Bible subjects for six years at Northwestern, was appointed Assistant Superintendent and dean of men. His has been no easy task, but Mr. Moyer has ably taken up the work of oversight, and in addition, has taught classes in Analy¬ sis, Synopsis, Doctrine, and Biblical Geography. Mr. Moyer is an efficient and eloquent Bible expositor, and we praise the Lord who has given to him the gift of teaching. His fine mis¬ sionary enthusiasm has been an in¬ spiration to the students and his masterful interpretation of the Word has proved a blessing to every heart. As dean of women and head ot the English and Public Speaking Depart- ments, Miss Acornb has a host ot duties, all of which she capably performs. It is to her that the girls bring their problems and to her they look for a solution; and they are rarely disappointed Efficiency and a bill tv are equally combined to render generous and ceaseless service to the school and students. More things are wrought bv prayer than this world dreams of’, might well be the motto over her office door, and to this faith we owe countless miracles of blessing.

The land of Canaan was promised to Israel by God, but Joshua, a great general, did everything possible, in a human way, to bring victory to Israel. The two spies whom he sent into Jericho to search out the land, were saved from death by Rahab, the harlot, who falsely directed the king’s soldiers after she had con¬ cealed the spies on the roof of her house. In return for saving their lives, she asked that she and her household might be delivered when Israel took the land. The spies, with an oath, promised her salvation in that day, if she would tie the scarlet cord in the window. This promise was kept. From this Old Testament history we draw some lessons on condemnation and salvation, as follows: These events took place at harvest time, Josh. 3:15, and Jericho was reaping a harvest of judgment. Rahab was a debauched member of a doomed race. Her condemnation was two-fold: she was condemned: Because of Her Dwelling. She dwelt in a condemned place. Jericho was appointed by God to utter destruction. Jericho is the picture of this world which is under the condemnation of God. Jericho had its king, and the world has its prince, John 14:30. Jericho was situated near the Jordan, the River of Death, and the Dead Sea, the Sea of Judgment. Death and judgment! Jericho means the “City of Fragrance ' , but in God ' s sight it was a city of foulness. Many say today, “This world is good enough for me,” but God says that all in it is the result of the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, the pride of life. He also says, “The world passeth away, and the lusts thereof” 1 John 2:17. Even nature about us testifies of the curse of God upon sin, for the most beautiful flower blown has in its heart the seed of death and decay, and man, created in the image of God, will tomorrow topple into the grave, for he, too, is filled with disease and death. Death everywhere is the stamp of God ' s wrath against sin, and curse upon sin. And there, unbeliever, you are living today, as truly as Rahab dwelt in Jericho. But thank God, Christ “gave Himself for our sins, that He might del iver us from this present evil world.” Gal 1:4. Yet again, Rahab was condemned: Because of Her Doing. She was a sinner. Her heart was wrong. Mark 7:21- 23. Her deeds were evil. We are all sinners. “There is none righteous, no, not one.” Read Romans 3:10-1 S. “All have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.” Romans 3:23. This is God ' s picture of every son of Adam. Ye are born with the seed of sin in every part of our being, hence our deeds are evil. All of our evil doing has been the result of our sinful nature, and the follow¬ ing fact is a demonstration of that. Every reader of this article has, at some time in the past, told an untruth. Your mother always taught you to tell the truth; she never taught von to tell a falsehood. She did not need to teach you that—it came naturally. It was the product of vour sinful nature, and that is true of every sin you have ever committed. If your mind is open, that fact will convict you of your sin, and of your need of a Saviour. Rah aids salvation was sure and complete, just as “there is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus.” Romans 8:1. The scarlet Page Thirty-thr t ::: ::: ill ill ill ill ill ill ill Mi coni secured her, and the oath of the spies assured her, just as the blood of Christ secures us, and the Word of God assures us. Salvation meant for her a changed position and a changed condition for she entered into the “commonwealth of Israeli , and then, when joined to the people of God, she became a good woman in me, finally married an Israelite, and now her name shines in the genealogy of Jesus Christ, Matthew I. I he Christian ' s changed position is seen in that he is made to sit together with Christ in the heavenlies, Eph. 2while “whatso ever ye do m word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus,” has to do with our new condition. Cery briefly we shall consider the two following points under Rahab’s salvation: ., 1 ’ By faith the harlot Rahab perished not”, Heb. , , f ]ave heard, she said to the spies when she received them into i , f e ’ J° sh . and faith cometh by hearing”, Rom. 10:17. She had heard what God had done. Have you not heard how God so loved you that He gave His only begotten Son—gave Him to death and judgment in ’your stead? unl you not believe, that you may not perish, but have everlasting life? The Outward Token. Ibis was the scarlet cord which was tied in the window. Scarlet is the co or of sin—and sacrifice. “Though your sins be as scarlet- , and some one iias well said concerning the Bible, ‘ ' Cut this Book where you will, and it bleeds — for it is the Book of God’s sacrifice So this scarlet of sin and sacrifice speaks of rhe One Who came to be a sacrifice for sin, I he fact that Rahab hung the scarlet cord in the window was a confession of her sin and just Condemnation,—and her need of salvation. That scarlet cord a so carries with it a suggestion of the gospel, in that the spies swore to Rahab that if she would hang the cord in the window they would save her life even at the cost of their own. “Our life for yours”, Josh. 2:14, brings to us the thought of substitution, and while they did not need to die to save Rahab, vet Christ i d ’ c . t0 sa .Y e , u ® for th,s ,s “ th e gospel by which ve are saved. . . how that Christ died for our sins”—and this must be, since the wages of sin is death Kom. 6:23; and since our sms merit a curse; He could only save us by being made a curse for us Gal. 3 :13 His life for ours! But something else is necessary for the salvation of Rahab: those spies who offered themselves as her substitutes must live if she is to be saved. And they did live. For three days they were hidden m the mountains and then they went down into Israel’s camp to appear in the presence ot Joshua for Rahab, The gospel is not only that Christ died but that He rose again. For three days He was in the place of death but He arose, and went into heaven to appear in the presence of God for us. To be saved we must have a living Saviour, so He was delivered for our offenses, but was raised again for our justification, Rom. 4:25. Rahab’s wav of salvation was very simple. Salvation today from the wrath to come is equally simple Trusting in the Lord Jesus Christ, and His precious mood, secures eternal salvation. We must remember, that while Rahab tied the scarlet cord m the window, it was not tied there that she might see it but that the Israelites might see it, just as the precious blood that was spilled on Calvary 1 9 X) years ago was not for your eyes, but because God has looked upon it f Me will save you, if you will only believe. Page T tirfy-foiir L iiilWV’KCVVI::: “Cfjat 3 iHap fenotu ftinT The Apostle Paul, to whom rhe Lord revealed the “deep things of Christ”, and who suffered more and accomplished more for the cause ot Christ than per¬ haps any other man, before or since, yet found it necessary to pray, as he records in Phil. 3:10, “That l may know Him”. We would be justified in thinking that Paul knew his Lord rather intimately, for his experiences and writings manifest a knowledge far beyond that of the average believer. We believe his prayer was prompted by this very fact, for he realized that there were depths and heights and lengths and breadths that he could never comprehend- I t is perfectly true that intimacy with loved ones brings a longing for greater and more frequent opportunities of being in the presence of that loved one. Put there is a time in human friendships when we feel that we can truly say we know that friend as we may know a book, from cover to cover. But this is not so in our relationship with the Friend of friends, the Lord Jesus Christ. In divine companionship there is always the element of mystery, of unplumbed depths, of unreached heights, of un fathomed and unsearchable length and breadth. This consideration impelled Pauls prayer. I low much more, think you, do we, who are ordinary, and oft time, cold Christ¬ ians, need to prav with him, “That we may know Him ? How is this growth to be obtained? ' Peter tells us in II Peter 3:18, ”But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ”. Growth in knowledge is conditional upon growth in grace. In other words, we are to let Christ possess our beings to sue ha n extent that He can daily and hourly, yes, moment by mo¬ ment, give to us a fuller and a richer experience, and really grow in us. Our growth in grace is contingent upon our earnest desire to cultivate the new life we received through regeneration. We need daily cleansing at His hands. “Now are ve clean through the Word which I have spoken unto you.” We are told that the Bereans “searched the Scriptures daily”, to their certain enrichment. Paul exhorts us to “pray without ceasing”, and the value of testimony js set forth in these words “with the mouth, confession is made unto salvation . c With these certain means of grace so evidently set before us, is there any reason why we cannot “know Him r And though our knowledge may be incomplete, it can still be satisfying and sweet, and we can look forward to the day when we shall “know as we are known”. “Jesus, the very thought of Thee, With sweetness fills my breast; But sweeter far Thy face to see, And in Thy presence rest. “Jesus! our only joy be I hou, As Thou our prize wilt be; Jesus! he Thou our glory now, And through eternity.” ■b Page Thirty-nine o! $ Junior Officers Roy H.

We have felt the need of training in order to better serve our Master. We have enjoyed the course here, and also the fellowship which we as a class have had with each other and with the other students. We feel that we have been fortunate in having Mr. Moyer as our class adviser. Although he has not been able to meet with us often because of his many duties, yet we appreciate his interest in the class and the help he has been to us. I hrough the study of the Word of God we are impelled to go forth and awaken in others the CfjortJS £ f Uobe The note of love which Jesus Christ struck when He came into this world has not ceased to re-echo throughout the ages. We are thankful that Christ ' s love reached us, saving us from a life lived for self and worldly gain, and implanting in out hearts a desire to prepare for His service. During our first two years of preparation we have been led to more fully appreciate our Saviour who manifested such love for us. Constrained hv this love we purpose to devote our lives to the work for which we have been called. Some are preparing for work in this land, to give forth the Word of God which, in such a large degree, is being replaced by the ideas of men. Others have caught the vision of the whitened harvest fields where teeming multitudes live and die with no one to tell them of the Saviour’s love. Of the fifty students enrolled in the Junior Class, sixteen are active members of the Mission Band, and purpose, if God wills, to spend their lives in other lands. Fourteen others are affiliated members, thereby designating their definite interest in this work, and the possibility of such service for them. Our supreme object in life, no matter where we may be, in school, in the home land, or across the seas, is to point all, young and old, to the “Lamb of God who taketli away the sin of the world. Slav our love for Christ, responding to His love for us, ever find expression in faithful service.

We were placed under the Instruction of an inspired faculty, and under the tutelage of Mr Louis Talbot, our class adviser ‘7 Ve are ambassadors for Christ T It is the earnest desire of every Freshman to be an ambassador for Christ Every class in which the Word has been un¬ folded to us has intensified that desire and called forth a fuller yieldedness. In the various practical work assignments we have gained very valuable experience in many lines of Christian work that will better fit us to be ambassadors. It is the hope and prayer of the class that many of our number will yield themselves to proclaim trie counsels of God, and unfurl the glorious banner of the Lord Jesus Christ in the lands that know Him not. An enthusiastic interest for this cause is manifested bv the many Freshmen who are active members of the Mission Band. ' 7w quietness and confidence shall be oar strength. Relying upon Him who has promised to be our everlasting portion, who has promised grace sufficient for all things, we wait for the fuller revelation of His blessed will. We would be still and know that He is God. We thank Him for the sweet and inspirational fellowships at Northwestern, and the splendid opportunities afforded us for training and equipping ourselves for our future work. We place our confidence fully in Him to show us His will and to lead us out into the paths of service He has prepared for us It is truly blessed to walk with the Lord and trust His promises implicitly, to quietly place all confidence in His Word, in the revelation of His will, and in His power to fight for us. 11 The Lord is the true God—and an everlasting King, and in His service shall we delight” The prayer of the class is that we might be yielded to Him, that all may be lead of the Spirit into the paths of service He has planned for them and he so wholly consecrated to that service that we may truly singi “We are happy in the service of the King, We are happy, Oh, so happy, We have peace and joy that nothing else can bring, In the service of the King “We are happy in the service of the King, We are happy, Oh, so happy, All that we possess, to Him we gladly bring, In the service of the King. i£ ln the service of the King, All our talents we will bring, We have peace and joy and blessing, In the service of the KING.” Ffufc Fvriy-three • i i i i:: £ is«S:!=:========n Slone Witt) tlje ICorb By Dr. A. N. Hall t i:: m I! i=i in iii iii iii iii iii iii iii iii iii iii f here are not always wonderful things to see or wonderful sounds to hear when God is at work God can do great things secretly and silently. How seemingly ordinary is the scene presented to us in the fourth chapter of the Gospel according to John, A wearied thirsty man is seated on the curb of an old well. A village woman is going about one of the ordinary services of life Who can see anything striking or sensational in that scene? But the Spirit of God recorded all that was said and done there, and lor nineteen centuries men and women have in imagina¬ tion stood about that old well and by faith listened to the quiet conversation between that wearied man and that ordinary woman. What is the picture? It is one person alone with the Lord. It has been reproduced tens of thousands ol times since that day. It may be reproduced in any life on anv day. Your attention is directed to three things that stand out dearly: The Lord planned it so the ordinary woman could he alone with Him. It was the privilege of that woman to he alone with the Lord. The profit that came from that hour alone with the Lord! The Lord ' s Plan “And He must needs go through Samaria 1 No one has been able to give a satisfactory answer as to why it was necessary for the Lord to go that wav, but it is perfectly evident that His plan made it possible for the needy woman to meet him. He who knew where to find a fish with a coin in its mouth knew where to find a woman with a great need in her souL It is the plan of His gospel, hie deals with each person alone and apart from all others. There is no proxy in His religion. No pope, or priest, or preacher, no institution or ordinance, stands between the humblest individual and the Lord. Bv His incarnation. His cruci¬ fixion, His resurrection, His ascension. His intercession, He has perfected a plan that provides for every soul ' s having immediate access to Him. At any wayside well in any hour of the day the opportunity is before any person to have an audience with Him. How few realize how He has planned for this. How much has been lost bv failure to understand it. : I a ■! ; I The Woman s Privilege iii iii Jb She belonged to a despised race The Samaritans were social and religions outcasts. Race prejudice, that age long enemy of mankind, had separated her from many privileges that others enjoyed. She was of a despised sex. In her day a woman was little more than a chattel or a slave. She was a despicable character. No one is so slumned as the woman whose mantle of purity is stained. With all of this against her it was her high and holy privilege to be alone with the Lord. As it was then, so is it now, whatever the racial, social, or moral standing, it is the privilege of any soul in this world to come to the Lord for himself or herself. The vail of the temple is rent from the top to the bottom. Whosoever will, let him come. The Profit of That Hour The quiet hour alone with her Lord was the most profitable hour that woman ever knew. She came to know herself. Up to that time the five husbands and Page Forty-jour 3 o: t her immoral lift: had not seemed to be very sinful. In His presence they appeared entirely different. Things that do not seem sinful when we are out of His presence appear exceedingly sinful when we are in His presence. An easy conscience does not mean that we are free from sin but that we have no consciousness of His presence Those who live in the closest communion with Him are the most conscious of moral imperfections. In the hour alone with the Lord the woman came to know the Saviour. At first she saw only a Jew, wearied and thirsty A little later she was looking upon Him as a prophet, and finally she saw the long expected Messiah. It is the soul that lias been alone with the Lord that really comes to know Him. Nothing increases our apprehension of Him like being alone with Him. in the hour that the woman spent alone with the Lord she changed the character of her service. She came as a menial in the service of men, hut returned as a messenger in the service of the Lord, Her experience with Him gave her a message from Him. All true witnessing tor Him must he the result of experience with Him. Not only was it an hour of great profit to the woman, hut also to the Lord. He found a pleasure in it that made Him forget His weariness and physical hunger. It caused Him to say, “I have meat to eat that ye know not of,” and, “My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work. The spirit of our Lord was refreshed by that hour of personal dealing with a peasant woman. It was a pleasure to Him to reveal to her the true condition of her soul. Like a skilled and experienced doctor he diagnosed her case and informed her of her need. He discovered to her mind the fact that there was higher and happier life than she had known. There is a better life than living to satisfy the desires of the flesh. Finally the Lord revealed Himself to her as the Messiah, He saw the light break into her darkened sold, and knew that her heart was changed. She would never he the same again. Some years ago a lutie boy was taken from a small town up to a great city. All of his life he had hobbled around on dub feet. In the city a great orthopedic surgeon took the boy in hand. He was taken to a hospital and there several operations were performed. Little by little those abnormal feet were straightened. As the weeks went by the doctor and the nurses came to love the little fellow very dearlv. The day came when the bandages were taken off. The boy looked for the first time on his straightened feet that only needed to be used to become strong. He called the nurses about him and said, ' Just look at my pretty feet. Doctors and nurses burst into tears of joy and felt amply paid for all the service they had rendered. The boy had been made capable of walking with men. When the Lord took the poor distorted life there by the wellside He straightened it out so that it was capable of walking in the ways of God, It was joy unspeak¬ able and full of glory for Him, Nothing that we can do for Him pleases Him so much as to have us alone with Himself that He may show us our need, point us to a better life than we are living, and reveal Himself to us. fn the secret of His presence how my soul delights to hide!

Page Forty-five JfeUQtosfji|) In every heart there is a longing for understanding and companionship hew, if any, human beings are content to live forever without the solace of friendship and love, and surely no soul, regenerated by the new life in Christ, is content until warmed at the hearth of a congenial, like-minded soul. It is the knowledge that we see ' eye to eye ' 1 that makes the fellowship at Northwestern so sweet. The inspiration of our CHAPEL hour can scarcely be overestimated. At the beginning of each day we assemble with the faculty and office staff to worship in song and prayer. Here we lay our burdens at His feet and trust Him for fresh blessings. Truly a day begun in this manner will not be spent in vain. Many a downcast heart has been tilled anew by the sunshine of His love because of this chapel hour. Many times our hearts have been gladdened and stirred to fresh praise through the testimonies of answered prayer. The sick have been graciously restored and souls have been wonderfully saved, while every material need has been provided, because “He ever Jiveth to make intercession for us ' Once a week, the Sd UDEN I’ FORUM assembles lor an hour of prayer when, exclusive of faculty, the students pour out their hearts before the Lord and make such confessions, and receive such commendation or reprimand, as seems neces¬ sary.

T The fascination of our Lord is such that we must meet Him often, and we gather in the dormitories at the close of the day, just before the dinner hour, to recount our blessings, and to offer our gratitude and praise for guidance, as well as to present fresh problems for intercession. In addition, we have our CLASS MEETINGS, which are given over to testi¬ mony and prayer, and monthly MISSION BAND prayer nneetings, which are devoted to intercession for graduates on foreign fields We believe that many wills have been surrendered at these services and many souls have entered into the fulness of His love. ;;; My God y is any hour so sweet, From blush of morn to evening star , As that which calls me to Thy feet y The hour of prayer? ill 1:1 : “Blest is that tranquil hour of morn , And blest that solemn hour of eve.

Ruth Genung spoke up, “When I left the station in Africa, Helene Rensch was teaching the Hallelujah Chorus to our native choir, and Marjorie Benson was out catching grasshoppers for dinner, Joe Smith wrote to say that Elsie Ulstrom has been a great help in caring for the children and keeping his library in order. Kenneth Mead seems to be getting along fine with his homiletics class in his native school in India. Lydia Read has done a great work with her stereoptican lectures in South America, and Ralph Blackball and Dr. Alma LInruh have distinguished themselves as the only white missionaries in Afghanistan. Hazel Zenor was certainly determined to go to China; her swimming the English Channel to raise the money to go made her quite famous.

Our days of preparation at Northwestern are spent not only in hiding God ' s Word in our hearts, hut also in gaining a practical, working knowledge of that Word. We strive to show our faith by our works” in teaching the children in Sunday Schools, Neighborhood Bible Classes, and Junior Christian Endeavor Societies; in pointing out the Way of Life to adults in Bible Study Hours during the week; in conducting Bible Classes and Young People’s Societies on Sundays; in ministering to the sick in the hospitals in song, testimony, and the distribution of tracts and Gospels, in bringing cheer to invalids and shut-ins in systematic House to House Visitation; in proclaiming in City Rescue Missions and Homes of Shelter the Lamb of God who came to rake away the sin of the world; and in shepherding and feeding the many who flock to the rural churches of Minnesota and Wisconsin. Many devote the summer vacation months in carrying the Gospel to the otherwise unreached and unevangelized throughout Minnesota, North and South Dakota, Iowa, Wisconsin, Illinois, Nebraska and Canada by means of Summer Bible Schools and Evangelistic Campaigns. Graduation does not mean a cessation from the doing,” bur, on the other hand, results in a branching out into greater fields of service from our land to foreign shores in obedience to the command of our Lord, Go ve therefore, and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them into the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.” I hus, we witness to the ends of the earth to the power of the Living W ' ord, and prove ourselves workmen that need not to be ashamed, handling aright the Word of Truth.” 1 iii ill iii fir i-i in iii iii iii iii iii L-...—.—� Pag?

Because it has been necessary for us to fill widely-separated gaps in the battle line, we long to hear “how the battle goes” with our brethren. This need is met by our Alumni Association which fosters loyalty to our Alma Mater and to each other. Our president is Arthur H. Nelson, MS, pastor ol the Cypress Street Baptist Church, St. Paul, In his twelve years of active service, he has lost none ol his fine en¬ thusiasm. Lloyd Comstock, T 26, is our vice-president, while Goldie Putnam, 20, as corresponding secretary and treasurer, keeps such an accurate count ol the scattered Hock that we wonder at her ability to do so. She has an assistant in Or!a Johnson, 25. Edith Putnam, ’23, records our transactions and decisions. The last of May is always an important time to us, for it is then that we re¬ ceive our annual reinforcements—the infusion of fresh spirit and new enthusi¬ asm by the addition of another class. It is thus the expansion and change of the school are brought home to us, and we feel that we are in touch once more with the spirit of Northwestern. But the time that is ours and that we value the most is the Homecoming in November. One of the features of this event is the business meeting and the election of officers to pilot the Association through the succeeding year. It is then, too, that we live again the happy occasions and un forget able experiences of our school life. Homecoming means not only the revival of our associations with the Northwestern family, but a great impetus to better work in our various fields of service. A Bible Conference is held in addition to the regular classes, with at least one prominent Bible teacher from the outside, together with the tacuity of our own school. From these conferences we return with renewed spiritual fervor and a deeper love lor the Book, Arthur . Nelson Though we rarely meet in person, we daily fellowship at the throne of grace, always having in mind and heart the thought of a never ending alumni gathering, when we shall come, bearing precious sheaves. { ' age Sixty-eight 5n amc Jfieltis; That the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ is finding fruitful expression in the lives of many former students and graduates of Northwestern is attested to by many reports from the home field. The needs met are many and varied. Here and there in the larger centers a church, a mission, or a Sunday School looks to a graduate of Northwestern for inspiration and enthusiastic effort. Throughout Minnesota and neighboring states, over forty pastorates are occupied by North westerners. Home missionary activities have claimed seventeen. Some labor in the north woods, bringing the Gospel to people who have not heard it for many long years and to children who have not heard the name of Jesus Christ except in profanity. Two work on the Iron Range reaching foreign immigrants who have never before heard the true Gospel. Westward, amid the grain fields of North Dakota and on the plains of Montana others travel far and wide in bringing the Word to otherwise unreached people. Across the boundary still another works in a community where he meets such a distorted conception of the Gospel that he experiences no less difficulty than if on a foreign field. This testimony is borne of all, that they preach the Word, and in consequence experience the trials, the difficulties and the joy which the Lord foretold would be the lot of His faithful disciples. Page Sixty-nine ::i i :i iIii: i As for fruits of their labor, one writer concludes a testimony, “As a crowning glory to all, fifteen gave their lives to Jesus Christ, and six young people conse¬ crated their lives to rbe Master’s work.” A second reports, I took up the work in a church with a membership of fiftv- five. The Lord blessed us and souls were saved so that forty have been added to the membership of the church; twenty-nine through baptism and eleven In bringing their letters. About ten are now waiting for baptism. A Young People ' s Hi hie Class which lias stood the test of nearly two years and is held every Tuesday, lias an average attendance of between fifty and sixty young people, who are living consecrated lives for Christ. The church building, which holds about four hundred people, proves itself too small on Sunday mornings and evenings, so that it is planned to make an extension in the summer, We try to work to outposts in all directions from eight to fifteen miles distant. There are five such places which 1 try to reach with the Gospel of salvation during the week, “It has been our joy to conduct Vacation Bible Schools during the summer moiitils. The first summer our enrollment was eighty children. The children rook such an interest that we had an enrollment of one hundred the next year. Tile instruction was given by four teachers, all home talent ’ Another writes, “In one place where 1 have been four times, there was a marked difference in the attitude of the people. Only last year it was impossible to conduct a meeting without being disturbed by young men and boys mocking and jeering. This time there was little or none. Instead of coming to mock and scoff they came to listen. In the last Sunday meeting there, many of these decided for Christ. “One little girl,” the writer goes on, “who was saved last April is an example of a real happy Christian. I wondered about her for in her home was a teacher who urged her to attend dances and live a worldly life. Last summer when 1 saw her at the outing for the children who had memorized Bible verses, she was still rejoicing and testifying for her Savior. Later on, while conducting a Bible class in her home, I learned that she had won two of her friends to Christ, One night not verv long ago she and another Christian girl walked two and one-half miles, when it was more than 30° below zero, to one of our meetings.” Another graduate writes of a unique experience of God ' s answering prayer, and bears unwitting testimony to her own usefulness. She says, “One evening at 10:30, I was ready to retire when the most peculiar sensation came over me. While trying to diagnose my feelings, the telephone rang. A woman who lives in the country was calling, and she was crying as though her heart was breaking. She said she was sick and was afraid to stay alone, and wanted me to come. When I reached there she told me she didn ' t have a pain, but was suffering untold agony of mind, and she could not account for it. She didn ' t know that I had presented her before the throne of grace, and had asked the Lord to give me an opportunity to speak to her about her souk We talked until two-thirty that morning at which time she knew she was saved.” These are examples of how the Lord has blessed and used Northwestern grad¬ uates. They give some inkling of what constitutes Christian service, and of what it means to “lav up treasures in heaven.” Surely, it would be to the Lord ' s pleasure that the number of such workers be multiplied. We pray that it may be so. Png?

Here ts a statement of tact, Kvery person who recognizes that Christ suffered for him has been called to “follow His steps ' To think of His steps is to think of a life moving forward in conscious obedience to the revealed will of God. “I do always those things that please Him” is a succinct summary of what it means to follow His steps. No logical process of thought can enable the believer in Christ to escape the conclusion that his sole business in life is to be obedient to the will of God. Nor can there be doubt as to what God’s will is. “Thus it is written ’ said our Lord, “that repentance and remission of si ns should be preached in His (Christ ' s) name among all nations ; hence His command of Matthew 2H:I9 “Go xe therefore. We are called; the question then resolves itself into one of Willingness to Go Willingness is proved by actual effort. Certain passages in II Corinthians H become pertinent here. Evidently the Corinthians had made a beginning in giving, at least to the extent of making pledges. “Now ' writes Paul, “perform the doing of it; t hat as there was a readiness to will, so there may he a performance also out of that which ye have. Without performance, affirmed willingness becomes a vain parading of words. Our Scripture makes plain that readiness to will must be succeeded by effort to perform, and then we read, “It is accepted according to that a man hath, and not according to that he hath not ’ To make application to the missionary enterprise, if there be that genuine willingness to go, proved by effort, God determines the question of ability and will open or block the way to go according as He knows. That brings us to consider a last topic, Preparation for the Task Peter was a man who was willing to go. When the Lord warned him of coming trial and added, “But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not, Peter made answer, “I am read y (prepared) to go with thee, both into prison and unto death. The answer was presumptuous. Peter was willing, but he was not ready, for when put to the test he tailed. The explanation of Peter ' s failure was his pos¬ session of a self-confidence which left no room for consciousness of a need of Christ, and the one essential requirement of a missionary is the possession of a spirituality which says, “I live, yet not I, but Christ liveth in me ’ Such spirituality is gained only by distrust ot self, confidence in God, and amenability to the molding processes of a life wholly yielded to Him. If you are saved, these issues face you. You are called; are you willing to go? It so, have you submitted yourself for preparation? !

Someone has said, When China moves the world will know it. Today she is moving but toward what? To this land, eight Northwestern graduates have gone with the Word of God. One of them pleads: Whatever else you do for China, do pray as if all depended upon your intercession. Pray for the professing Christians, that they may receive special grace a nil strength to endure whatever comes, and remain faithful to the end.” 111 Are there results?

As prospective students, you will want some definite information in regard to the requirements of the school. The full course covers three or four years, depending upon the amount of previous education the student has had. The school year begins September 2b and ends June 1. College graduates may finish the course in two years, High School graduates in three years, and those without High School in four years. A student working his way through school, unless he has exceptional ability, mav find it advisable to take four years to complete the course.

Application blanks must be filled out and considered before students are admitted to the school The blanks, accompanied by health certificate and vac¬ cination certificate, should be mailed to the school as early as possible before opening of the term. Whenever possible, students should present credits from former schools. Educational Requirements: Because we know the Lord does call into His service those who have been denied the privileges of education, and uses them in winning souls, no one that has felt the call will be refused admission because of lack of previous education. He will be given the opportunity to overcome those things which would handicap him in tlie Lord ' s work by taking preparatory courses put into the curriculum for him. However, we advise preliminary training, at feast to the extent of a High School education, for every student entering our Bible Training School. English Requirement: Gradu ates of recognized colleges and universities need take no English. Unless, however, they have one year ' s college credit in Public Speaking, they must take Public Speaking. Those who have had two years of college work must take Senior English. High School graduates must take two years (Junior and Senior) of English. Those who are not Eligh School graduates but have had 1,2, or 3 years of High School work, must take three years of English, while those with no High School work must take the additional course in Pre¬ paratory English. The above requirements will apply to all who pass the required entrance exam¬ ination in English. Any student failing to pass this examination will be placed at the discretion of the English department. Expenses: Room and board is provided at $7.00 per week. There is a regis¬ tration fee of $10.00 a term, or $20.00 a year, for both resident students and those living outside the dormitories. Textbooks are provided by the students them¬ selves, the English Bible being the fundamental textbook of the school. Students should have enough money to carry them through the first semester.

It was born out of the lifetime experience of a Christian worker, in the hope that it might be Messed of God, to help in staying the waste and loss that has marked the work of the Church in the past. Our worker has given herself to the task in the hope that an influence would he put into action that would change failures to success, defeats to victories, the marking of time to a march of triumph. The design has been to till up the ranks of our Lord ' s forces with equipped and trained laymen and workers, to be used of the Holy Spirit in telling the storv of the cross and the good news of salvation. The means to this end is the Northwestern Bible and Missionary Training School. The extension campaign has been planned with the three-fold purpose in view: First, to show how lamentable has been the ignorance of the Scriptures in the church in general, and how disastrous has been our failure to distinguish between truth and error during the past fifty years; to rouse young people to their need of training, inspire them with a desire to serve, and to bring them to a determina¬ tion to prepare for Christian life and service In the second place, the department aims to awaken the Church as a whole to the perils of the times in the spiritual realm; to the need for an educated church, an indoctrinated laity, and a fully armed leadership. This is imperative if we would meet the onslaught of the isms and cults, which, like a river m flood, are breaking down the levees of faith, and sweeping away in their dark current, the bulwarks of belief, because of our insufficient foundations and breastworks. The third purpose of our extension work is that of making known through personal contact, to the people of Minnesota and the neighboring states, the splendid facilities Northwestern places at their command for the carrying out of this educational program, so vital to the life and faith of the Christian bov and girl of today. After three years ' contact with rhe School, the writer, with no other interest in mind than the cause of our Lord, and young lives equipped to render the noblest service to God and man, does not hesitate to assure you that a better school cannot be found anywhere from the point of view of accom¬ modations, course of study, faculty, and fellowship. Our class rooms are modern, up-to-date, light and airy. The Course of Study leaves nothing to be desired that has not been provided for, as you will see by consulting the curriculum. 1 he faculty are all men anti women of ability, depth and spiritual power. The Bible is our text book for all spiritual teachings. Our English Department is one of the best in both its corrective and teaching program. As an alternative in preparing for life, the entire course is to be preferred to that of the average college. If you would get the inspiration and catch the vision, let our representative come to you and tell her story If you desire to become an efficient “helper of the war 1 ' , an adept with the “bow . a dexterous swordsman, come, train for service. We will greatly appreciate the assistance of all who stand with us in Christ ' s great cause if they will co-operate by inviting us to speak to their congregations, young people s societies, and all institutions of the church that have for their aim the advancement of the kingdom of our Lord. :ii i!
