We flames of persecution have always kindled the hcart- juxs of faith, whether in the dim ages of the past, or in the present day; whether in the breast of the oriental, or of the occidental. “Pages of history ave blotched with hlood stains of unrecanting Christians whose testimony was, “Jesus only . IDhtle Spain burned her victims, far-away Japan sought the lives of all Christians, Chere was a little boon of safety to which the harass¬ ed Japanese believers fled. ODacao, on the southern coast of China, afforded this shelter for the fugitives. In face of grim persecution these fearless people worshiped in a little stone church on the rocks of that shore. In this cross-crowned chapel, the prayers and pleas of suffering saints arose to the Cord above. After the tongues of these worshipers were at last stilled, the empty church re-whispered their prayers for decades to the silent shore, until a mighty, relentless typhoon, accom¬ panied by a devastating earth-yuake, beat upon that ancient church and crumbled its foundation. Che place of prayer was reduced to a mass of rocks and debris-all save the facade bearing the bronze cross. Centuries later, as the sun had once more set behind the ruins, John Sowring, an Englishman, chanced by way of (Dacao. A mass of mossy, gray stones loomed through the twilight haze. Above the standing facade, a cross was etched against the deepening sunset. Che surviving symbol spoke to the heart of the man in mingled awe and reverence. Che gaze of Sowring upon that enduring cross was turned into the words of that immortal song: In the Cross of Christ I Glory, Cow ' ring o’er the wrecks of time; All the light of sacred story Gathers round its head sublime. As that stone cross towers over the wreckage in CDacao, glorified by the rays of setting sun, so the Cross of Christ rises over the wrecks of time, resplendent in the light of Eternity.

« wish to sound the introductory note to our Scroll by saying that within its pages, we have endeavored to exalt the Cross of Christ in which we glory. ‘Blest is the tie that binds the members of the Administrative De¬ partment as they labor together in Christian love to promote the sacred claims of that Cross. Inspirational is the song of our ‘Redeemer, as it rises in unison from the great student body who, through the ‘Practical IDork Department, spread the message of that Cross. Challenging is the summons from the CDissions Section, to go forth as Christian Heralds proclaiming sal¬ vation through that Cross. It is our prayer that this booh may faithfully exalt our crucified, risen, glorified, and coming Cord.
