T HIS theme is one that brings the theologian and the scientist into conference, and compels either an agreement or a division of opinion, ft is (tot the subject of the scientist only, since the Scriptures arc involved In it; it is not the subject of the minister only, since science is involved in it, It is a theme of which both must think, and if deeply, then speak. That the scientist is an unbeliever cannot exempt him from the force of these remarks. The Bible has been in the world too long and is believed by too many people for even an unbeliever to ignore iu h has seen unbelievers buried by the thousands; in fact, it has been the last spokesman at the grave of most of them, and men, either living or dead, can escape neither its speech nor its final judgment. My subject involves a question but does not even suggest an intended answer. How¬ ever, being dearly convinced that truth never clashes with truth, let me hasten to say that whenever Genesis is properly interpreted, and Geology is perfectly understood, inharmony is as impossible as a conflict between God’s revelation in the ages of the rocks, and God’s revelation in the Rock of Ages, Prof. George Frederic Wright, Oberlins most distinguished scientist, once truly said, From every quarter, unexpected light is breaking in upon us from apparent darkness. The strength of the evidence of the truth of the historic statements in the Bible is, therefore, not diminished but rather increased by modern scientific investigation.” William B. Scott, of Princeton University, in his big volume An Introduction to Geology,” says truly enough, In no science arc Lhcrc more open questions than in Geology, in none are changes of views more frequent, and in none, consequently, is it more important to emphasize the distinction between fact and inference, between obser¬ vation and hypothesis. An open-minded hospitality for new facts is essential to intellectual advance.” Entertaining the hope that you come to this study with such minds, whether your text book he the Bible or some uninspired volume on Geology, I proceed to call your attention to the theme as it relates itself to the Order of Creation. This involves a discussion of the first chapter of Genesis, and particularly of verses 1, 11, 24 and 27. The Tig Three” Geology and Genesis agree in giving vegetation first place in Creation . So far as I know there is not a geologist of the regular school who doubts that alga, or sea weed, is the earliest form of life to be found in the world’s burying ground, nor is there any dispute in that school over the circumstance that plant life, in great abundance, appeared before animal existence, George Frederic Wright says, “The appearance of plants upon the earth preceded that of animal life. This is proven by the nature of the case, and by positive evidence. So far as is known, animals arc not able directly to assimilate mineral matter. Animals arc compelled to iced cither upon plants or upon one another, while the plants draw their nutriment directly from earth and air. Plants will also endure a much higher temperature than any known animal. Some varieties of plants will even withstand 220 degrees above zero; that is, they will not be destroyed by boiling water. ‘Every argument, therefore, in support of evolution in nature, points to the I act ol the appearance of vegetable life before animal life ’ The extensive deposits of black lead, or graphite, of Canada are now generally accepted as pure carbon, or coal, and consequently of vegetable origin. And there are men who believe that the archean rocks might hold vegetable features but for the circumstance that heat has so metamorphized them as to destroy the earliest evidences of plant life. The verse with which Genesis opens, “In the beginning ' lays no time limit upon the creative acts of God, and presents an elaborate defense of the elastic use of the word “day” both by Ancient and Modern, and proves by the Book itself that Scripture students were not shut up to the solar day in interpreting any of the acts of God recorded in “ ' TTe IMg ' Ghree’s Secretaries” DORIS GUSTAVSON MRS, JENNIE WENJGER MARIAN LOVERING Sir Alfred Wallace, who with Darwin, adopted the evolutionary hypothesis as working base for scientific investigation, and whose interest in the Bible was never great enough to prejudice his thinking in the latter realm, remarks, “The agreement of science with Genesis is surely very striking. The man who makes himself familiar with the book of Nature and this opening chapter in the Book of Revelation, will be profoundly impressed by that parallelism. “Geology is the study of the structure, history, and development of the earth and its inhabitants as revealed in the rocks. Genesis is a study of the structure, history, and development of the earth and its inhabitants as revealed in The Book. Genesis, but that God’s days are geological days, as extensive in time as the rocks will require when once the truth of their creation is clearly known Here then we have Genesis and Geology speaking together concerning the formless and nebulous state of our original world; and they are clearly together when order emerges from chaos in answer to the Word of God, “Let the earth bring forth grass and lifts its prophetic face to the freshly revealed but imperfect rays of the sun, and is followed in quick succession by herbs and trees, the law of whose generation was established once and forever, “After its kind.” All claims that this original life was produced by a shining sun, by spontaneous generation, by inherent potencies, by any conceivable power apart from the God of Genesis, are not science but pure speculation; and Geology itself gives such theories no approval, and in the light of the Book of Genesis, they are nothing better than godless unbelief. We arc not ready to admit with so-called thcistic evolutionists that the speck of protoplasm is as perfect a proof of God as is a completed universe. Logic insists that if men make such a speck the only god of the universe they render some intelligent account of the origin of the speck itself, and further account for the infinite potentialities in that speck, which if it wrought out a universe, must have been not only as powerful but as infinitely wise as the God of the Bible. For while the illimitable number of planets, and unthinkable systems that fill infinite space impress us to the point of awe, we can come hack to the single perfected feature of life, namely the eye, and if we attempt to account for it; have coerced from our lips— “only Godl 17 It is little wonder that Charles Darwin, long after he had written The Origin of Species” candidly exclaimed, “The eye, to this day, gives me a cold shudder.” It will continue to give an ague to any godless atheist who looks into its limpid depths, and recognizes the infinity of wisdom in its organism and function. Geology and Genesis agree in giving fish and fond the second place in creation. “And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath lile, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven In the language of a believing Scientist, We are not compelled to suppose that every class of winged fowl and every class of sea monster was actually brought into existence during that period,” blit that certain and prophetic features of both appeared in that exact place is put past controversy by the investigation of tins cemetery of the centuries, Oherlin’s great geologist tells concerning the beginning of animal life upon the earth and sea, that it was lirst peopled with animals not having a backbone, such as the various kinds of shell fish, and later fishes with a backbone, then amphibious life, the frog and reptiles. The origin of birds is less determined. There seems to be no doubt that they preceded the earliest mammals.” How remarkable! Moses had not opened the bowels of the earth to discover their contents. In spite of his matchless mind and his evident learning, it is not the least likely that by pick and shovel he first pursued nature’s order and then later recorded it in the first hook in his Pentateuch. The parallelism there between these two records is exactly such as to exclude the explanation of a fortu¬ nate guess, and to compel the view that science properly interpreted, and inspiration correctly understood, speak together. Once admit the opening sentence of Scripture In the beginning God,” and nature’s puzzles are no longer unsolved or insoluble Once admit the truth of that opening sentence and we have an instant, adequate, and only conceivable explanation, and the same shibboleth for Geology and Genesis being alike voiced in the first instance through the stones of the earth, and in the second, through human speech, they answer the one to the other point by point to the last particular. Geology and Genesis agree in giving vertebrate animals third dace in creation. One night in Pol well Hall, the University of Minnesota, I listened to a biological teacher lecture for an hour and a half in favor of the evolutionary hypothesis, marshalling fane of mind in the name of facts, multiplying inferences in lieu ot arguments, trying to secure an acceptance of mere speculation by calling it science, and yet the very chart that he drew on the hoard confirmed the Genesis story as to the order of creation. I le had to admit that as one walked upward from the Archcan and Paleozoic, in through the Mesozoic, the Cenozoic, and Quaternary to the present period he passed from vegetable through sea life, and air life, to mammals, and that very order, according to the orthodox chart of present-day Geology and honest biologists, is exactly such as is set down in the opening sentence of the Book Divine. It would hardly he necessary to remark here that the Bible does not require us lo believe that all species of mammals appeared at one time; there is no in harmony between Geology, which will fell you that the lower forms, or p artial mammals, appear first and the more perfected mammals later, and the Genesis account of their place in the creative week. In fact, there is a strong hint in the Genesis account ot this exact order, die living creature is mentioned hrst, ‘‘cattle ' second, and that this is not simply an accident of statement is argued in the circumstance that in the twenty-fifth verse the beasts oL the earth” first, and “cattle” later, and then “everything that crcepeth upon die face of the earth, after his kind.” It is readily conceded according to the orthodox Geologist that true mammals, like cattle and horses, cats, dogs and apes were the last of God ' s creatures before the appear¬ ance of man. One cannot escape a feeling of profound pity lor the hosts ol young men and women who, in many of the Universities of the present moment arc being brought to believe that the Bible is an absurd Book, not only devoid of science but utterly destitute of the simplest veracity, and that its statements are diametrically opposed to discovered truth; and, to believe in it is to be a mental mossbaek, an intellectual indolent, Alas for such nonsense! The greatest thinkers of all centuries have not only believed in the Bible, but have been made great by the Bible. Hie very schools that now seethe with skepticism owe their existence to the plenary powers of Scripture, and the hoys and girls who are being led away from God and the Gospel by certain superficial professors, absurd text¬ books, sovietized influences, would be sitting at home with folded hands and vacant minds and hungry stomachs, and ill-clad forms, or else flapper-like, Hitting from place to place in search of some new pleasure, or looking lor a possible employment, were not for the inspiration, intelligence and industry begotten in the lives of their parents by perusal of and confidence in the matchless Word of God. Geology and Genesis agree in giving man the fourth and last place in creation. The creative week was coming to a close when God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, aficr Our likeness.” In the University lecture to which I have before referred the Pro¬ fessor after having declared the unproven proposition that millions, and possibly billions of years had been required to bring the earth from a molten mass to its present estate, cover it with verdure, and people it with animal life, dared the indefensible speculation as to tire probable length of time to be given to the various ages making up the sum total of a short eternity. Footing his figures he accounted lor it all without giving one single minute to man. In the free discussion that followed, keeping in mind Prof. Conkling ' s recent book The Direction of I Ionian Evolution” and ins unscientific and uiiscri plural suggestion that man had probably been on the earth for the space of three to five thousand years, I asked the Professor why he, being an evolutionist, gave no time or place for man’s occupation of the earth, to which lie candidly answered, and ( think righteously, “Well, by way of comparison it is too short to take account of.” Once more Genesis is confirmed. Man is the completion of God’s creations, as well as the crown of the same! Prof. Keyscr, discussing the order of nature says, “First came the oblique forms of life, which were obviously vegetable; then the primal forms of animal life; then the higher forms; lastly man himself like a crown upon the pedestal ol creation. THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS F ROM various walks of business and professional life, from paths distinctly different, from tliis city and others, called together tor one purpose, come Northwestern’s board of directors Their work, though of great importance, is not done in the open; conse¬ quently, they are unknown by the great majority of students; but their services are appreciated Dr, Riley, the president of this group, is the pastor of the First Baptist Church of this city; Dr. Earle V Pierce, of Lake Harriet Baptist; Dr G. G Validity nc, of Park Avenue Methodist; John A. Siemens, of First Baptist, Hastings; and Peter MacFarlane, of the Union Gospel Mission, St Paul.

THE FORUM HE student body organization of “Northwestern is called “The Forum ’ It has for its purpose the fostering and cherishing of loyalty, throughout the student body, to the Scriptures; and to create a recognition, on the part of the individual student, of his personal responsibility toward the student body and the school in maintaining inviolate the tenets of the Lord Jesus Christ, and in sustaining the highest possible standard of Christian character and conduct. It also provides opportunity for student expression on matters concerning the student body, such as prayer meetings, fellowship hours, and social affairs. The members of the Forum cabinet arc constituted of the Forum president, who is elected annually by the student body, and two representative members from each class, elected annually. This year the office of President has been filled by Gerald Grotey. The Senior representatives are Victor Sawatzky, vice-president, and Twylali Wanous, treasurer. Junior representatives arc Nina Johnson, secretary, and Wesley Johnson, Freshman representatives were Beatrice Slaikcu and Harry Marcilliotte for the first se¬ mester, and Irene Campa and Mark Cambron tor the second semester. A SENIOR APPRAISAL A STUDENT stepping into the halls of Northwestern for the first time, is immediately conscious of a different, singular spirit that pervades the atmosphere. It is hope! The student realizes this hope in two different aspects: present and future The one pertains to the school and the other appeals to his soul—hope in Northwestern and the hope of Northwestern. This spirit of expectancy and anticipation in Northwestern is due chiefly to Dr. W. 15. Riley, our president and founder, whose vision arid foresight have been the motivating forces in bringing the school to its present position of influence Certainly the school is a result of the exercise of a level head and the outcome of sound reasoning. Men who have the courage and fearlessness to attempt and to accomplish great things lor God should be commended. For the past thirty-four years, the school has been under the guidance and growth of the Holy Ghost, Who has sought to glorify the Son of God and the Word ol God in every phase of the school life and curriculum. God ' s singular blessing has also been manifested in laying on the hearts of men and women throughout the country a burden for the school in prayer. God’s goodness has been ceaselessly exhibited in providing the means to operate the school Northwestern is rapidly taking her position as the fundamental center ol higher theological learning in the country. When the student realizes this—that he will be an integral part of a great organization-—he lives in the Northwestern of tomorrow Sitting in the class room for the past three years, speaking with the instructors, and observing the effect of the training on every student, absolutely proves 10 me the high scholastic status that Northwestern boasts and enjoys 1, like countless others, was deeply impressed with the Christian association and fellowship that 1 had with my classmates, which fact is doubtless the outstanding asset of the school life Every prayer service, social event, or class hour draws the students closer to each other than any earthly tie. This lias deepened the appreciation of each student for every interest of the school, lor the Board oE Direc¬ tors, the Faculty, anti especially for Dr. Riley, whom God has seen fit to preserve unto this very hour. Not only has Northwestern a building hope, but also a Blessed Hope. How dead and cold is tire false theology of many institutions compared to the living Gospel that is expounded in Northwestern; and the student is constantly reminded in the lecture room that this Hope of the coming of the Lord is a part of the Gospel, as every major funda¬ mental of the faith heads up in the Blessed Hope The student realizes that the Bible cannot be understood unless he believes in a second, personal, visible, bodily, glorious, and prcmillennial coming ol our Lord Jesus, and daily cherishes this I lope. It we look tor Him and wait for His promised coming, we shall walk in the Spirit, and we will not only keep the coming of the Lord but the coming Lord fresh before our hearts. Any number of years spent in Northwestern in such an atmosphere will produce the same joy and enthusiasm lor the Lord’s work. A student in this school has praise and ihanks on Ids lips to God Almighty for having been led to this school and for having been kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation, ready to be revealed in the last time.

Others came from Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Kansas, Texas, Ohio, Wyoming, Wisconsin, New York, anti British Columbia, Canada. Hearing the command of Jesus, Follow me,” young people have forsaken all to obey Him. They came from high schools and colleges, from farms and cities. They left tl K ' ir positions as teachers, farmers, waitresses, maids, cooks, clerks, telephone oper¬ ator s, and nurses to answer the call of God. TODAY the J unions are occupied in various phases of Christian service, such as: teaching Sunday school or week day Bible classes, aiding in mission services, and vis¬ iting hospitals and homes. One day a teacher of a Bible class met a little boy whom she invited to attend the meeting. Roy, for that was his name, said that he would not come because lie hated church. During the prayer service before the children assembled, the teachers prayed definitely for him. When the class began, Roy was among those present, and from then on he had a perfect record in attendance. A few weeks later, when the teacher asked how many would like to give their hearts to Christ, Roy was the first to respond. From that day he has continued to love and serve his Savior. This is only one of the many incidents which the Juniors could relate. Surely the Lord hears and answers prayer. Truly His Word shall not return unto Him void. TOMORROW, from this class, will go out preachers, evangelists, secretaries, nurses, and teachers. Wherever these consecrated young people go, they will carry the Gospel of Christ. Twenty-five wish to he missionaries. To Africa, India, South America, China, or the home land they will tell of the redeeming power of the Lord Jesus Christ to the many blindly groping souls who do not know the Savior’s love. And yet the laborers are few! Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then conieth harvest? Behold, I say unto you. Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest (John 4:35). First row, left to right: Harry Abrahamsnn Ivan Bachtell, Carl li.irK-r, Sherman Barons 1 larlcy Martlet!

Young XSCRIPTURE VERSES to MEMORIZE IMPRESSIONS OF A FRESHMAN AT THE CLOSE OF THE YEAR HTHE last day ol school is over. Our first blessed year of fellowship at the Northwestern -L Bible School lias passed. What memories arise in the hearts of every freshman as lie looks about the noisy halls filled with the bustle of last-minute farewells. Within these walls, which have been dedicated to His use, there is a fellowship, a bond of joy in Christ, which no secular school can have. We labor together with Him as we share our triumphs and bear one another up before the throne of grace. Surely, the friendships ol Northwestern will lasL throughout all eternity because they are made stronger in the love of Christ. When we go away, it is as though we had left behind us a home, a haven amid the storms of lite, where the oil of prayer is poured on troubled waters and they are stilled. To die Seniors, who will not return, wc say, “God bless you.

The only satisfactory explanation of this problem that has ever been presented to the mentality of man is the Genesis account of origin by creation. To the intelligence that is untrammelled by prejudice anti miscon¬ ception, there can he no other orderly explanation of origin than the fact of creation. Surrounded by the physical evidence of the reality and personality of Almighty God, it is inevitable that the mind of man should seek to plumb as far into the tin fat homed future as he has succeeded in peering into the past God, Who created man with all of his powers, abilities, and instincts. Who has imparted to man this spirit of inquiry, has graciously given to him a brief glimpse of coming events, as l le has also satisfactorily opened Ids eyes to past creation If there is one place in the physical universe where the Einsteinian theory ol relativity operates more certainly than in another, it is in the realm which man calls “time.” I ime is merely the acquiescence of human mentality with lhe mechanics of solar and sidereal bodies. The element of time is absolutely relative, and the relativity factor is the distance from the nucleus and the orbital span of a revolving body. It so happens in the providence of God that man inhabits a planet which spins on its axis approximately once in twenty-four hours. This planet makes its annual journey about the sun in approximately twelve months of a little more than thirty days each. So when a man on this planet has made sixty of those annual pilgrimages around the flaming orb that is our nucleus, wc refer to that man as sixty years of age. A year, then, is one completed peregrination of this earth upon her invisible pathway about the sun. Now then, if this man, whom we call sixty years of age because he is on this planet, were to change his point of relativity and migrate to the planet Jupiter, when he arrived there he would be only four years of age! For the mighty planet Jupiter revolves on an orbit so different from that of the planet Earth, that fifteen of our so-called years elapse for the completion of one annual journey of Jupiter. The factor of relativity in time, then, is simply this: Certain unvarying mathematical and mechanical factors combine in the progress of sidereal motion to determine the lixed orbits of various bodies Man has recognized his inability to tamper with the speed of those orbs, and surrenders to this factor called time In the last book of the Bible wc read that a mighty angel stood forth and swore that time should be no more. From then on, the events of Revelation move rapidly in the unfolding ol the eschatological program of the Scripture, until wc find ourselves standing in the visions of John, upon the threshold of a new creation. It would, of course, he utter folly to talk about a time dement in heaven There could be no such thing as time in heaven, unless heaven were revolving on a fixed orbit around a central nucleus, as our present habitation revolves about the sun. But the word of Revelation clearly and plainly states that in the new heaven and the new earth there will be no sun to slune by day, no moon to shed her gleam by night. There are to be no such things as stars, to gleam like silver snails twinkling in the purple blanket of night ' s unfathomable canopy, for day and night are again terms of relativity dependent exclu¬ sively upon motion upon an axis. 39 still Ihc concepts of human imagination are very largely limited by human experience. When inaii dreams of the prospect of other orders ol life dwelling on the known planets, he recognizes that the physical conditions of life there would demand a type of being far different from that which lives on this earth. But because man’s imagination is limited by the promptings ol experience, when his weird fancy draws a picture of men who dwell on Mars or Venus, the best that he can do is to exaggerate grossly the types of life we know on this earth, Mis pen draws a grotesque figure of something almost human, with the legs of a spider and the head of a bacillus, and perhaps adds to this the stunted wings of an overgrown moth. Being limited in his imagination, it is impossible for man to conceive, by his unaided powers, of a perfect state of existence in a physical condition where matter transcends our physical understanding and literally becomes ethereal. Therefore, the revelations in the Word of God concerning the end of creation (which is re-creation) are an involution into human wisdom from a source which can only be called supernatural. Since man is by nature unable to pick up the curtain of eternity and peer into the future so much as ten minutes, records that deal with events that lie thousands of years ahead attest, by their very nature, their divine origin. There is no subject which intrigues the interest of die Bible student that is more fascinating than the records of Revelation concerning the end of the present order of matter and the re creation of both the heaven and the earth. To set the matter forth in an orderly fashion, we should perhaps begin by recognizing that matter, as man knows it, does not at present possess the perfection wherewith God endowed it in creation. Indeed, the eighth chapter of Romans clearly informs us that all of the natural creation partook of the curse of man’s sin and shares today the blight of its consequences. There¬ fore, our conceptions of matter arc limited to an experience of physical and finite things that are blasted by the degeneration of sin. In the ears of God dierc is a swelling moan that rises to an indescribable chorus, as every voice of nature joins in protest against the bondage of sin t l his same chapter ol God’s Word promises that in the day when the Son of God comes into His own and the earth acknowledges His sway and yields to Him, men shall then see matter in all of its pristine purity and heavenly beauty. Begin¬ ning, then, with this promise, the Word of God unfolds to us the purpose and plan of the heave nly Father in die ultimate redemption of matter. Indeed, hundreds of years before Romans was written, God said to the prophet Isaiah, l create new heavens and a new earth, and the former shall not be remembered nor come into mind.” This promise of God, which is preserved in the book of Isaiah, is further enlarged and illuminated in the writings of some of the other prophets of the Old Testament, and in several of the epistles of the New Testament. No student of Scripture can sit down to a consecutive and exhaustive study of the revelation concerning things as they shall be, without coming to a condition of satisfaction which transcends any earthly pleasure the human heart can experience. in the Word of God, for instance, we find that all the treasures for which men shed blood on this earth that they might enjoy them in selfish and miserly possession, are freed from the ban of sin and are made available for the enjoyment of every redeemed creature. So in the description of the new heaven and the new earth, gold, which is man’s highest standard of value, is used for paving material in the eternal city! The pearls for which women sell their souls today are imbedded in the structure of the gates of this heavenly city. Every rare and priceless jewel, to possess which men commit the foulest of sins, is scattered like sand on the seashore throughout the eternal habitation of man in th is redeemed creation. Were there a sun to shine on the scintillating splendor of our 0 bhe treasurer an6 his ' Tjelpers future habitation, the eye of man would soon be blinded by the reflected glory and beauty upon which bis eyes would feast. Hut in that strange creation where sin is unknown, where all the common t ragedics of life are conspicuous by their absence the light comes from the Son, anti not die sun. Seeing, then, Lhe beauties of God ' s handiwork as they are illuminated by the presence of Jesus Christ, the delighted heart of the regenerated child ol God would burst the bounds of a physical body, as it swelled with appreciation of what the power of God can do with this despised thing called matter. But in that new creation where time docs not exist, the materials of the suffering body are transmuted by the power ol Cod into a spiritual substance as solid as concrete, but as intangible as the ether of space. Words fail the human expositor who would even comment on the beauty and splendor of that new creation. When the rocks and the rills anti all physical nature combine to chant a ceaseless doxology which will he but the accompaniment to the l hallelujah ot redeemed creatures, then shall come to pass that saying which is written, I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last. What entrancing vistas open up to that man or that woman who exercises reasonable human intelligence now, and by regeneration anticipates that re-creation and assures participation in k in that coming age! May the grace of God turn our hearts to an intelligent understanding of that which Paul sought to define and could not. With his very soul thrilling with the wonder of tilings to be, as the Spirit ol God showed him these coming events, the mighty apostle had to content himself by saying, as in Lphesians 2:7, that Almighty God would exhaust Himself through all eternity showing to us, who are the redeemed, God s kindness through Jesus Christ our Lord.

I am sending you a picture of her seated at her post taking the name of a girl, who failed to get in on lime. It seems as if our whole day is controlled by bells, beginning with the rising bell at 6 o ' clock in the morning, until die bell to retire at 10:00 o ' clock in the evening. Our matrons, Mrs, Mnestis and Mrs, Movey, arc just as kind and motherly as they appear to be in these photographs. There is such a sweet Christian atmosphere here at the “dorm. The friends I have made have helped me to forget my homesickness, Anne, my roommate, and I have a coxy room, over looking Luring Park, as you can see from this picture. Anne and 1 are seated at the desk. Don ' t you think we look studious: We have such interesting subjects that I do not object to the study periods from 3 to 5 o ' clock and from 7:30 to 9:30, although we did wait impatiently this afternoon until we could go over to the courts in the park and play a game of tennis. When the supper bell ring s, the doors fly open, and the students pour” down the stairs to the dining room. After our evening meal, we have our devotional periods. Can ' t you just see this group of girls around the piano in the parlors, idling their experiences, reading the Word of God, singing His praises, and bringing their petitions and problems to Him? These are periods of strengthening and rral blessing. Fridays arc guest days, and we sometimes gather in the kitchen for popcorn parlies or candy making, but we do not play all the time. We must do our daily assignments, such as cleaning, dish-washing, and keeping office. We do have spare moments, though. These are spent iti washing and ironing our clothes, or knitting, or just talking. Anne and I look forward to our little chats each night before retiring, as we meditate on [he Word and come together Indore His Throne of Grace, What a wonderful Saviour we have! The hell has rung, so 1 must say Goodnight. Much love in the Lord to you, Jane.

Hour by hour students at Northwestern experience the truth of this verse and praise God lor Mis miraculous answers to prayer and constant showers of blessing. Nothing else has such an important part in the life of the students as the devotional hours. The dormitory borders enjoy family worship at the brcaklasl table. Then, before they leave for school each has his part in Quiet Hour, the time set aside for private intercession. I lus is truly a source of strength. Each evening the dormitory girls gather in the parlor, after dishes are done, for a season of fellowship around Cod s Word. The boys meet in their respective dormitories immediately after study hours. In these meetings requests are laid before God and thanksgiving raised for Ills glorious answers in prayer. These are times of strengthening and blessing which are not easily forgotten. The early morning prayer meetings of the Mission Hand, at 7:14 each school day, bring before the Lord, Who said, “Go ye, the needs of requests for die various foreign fields and the representatives of North¬ western who arc laboring therein. Each class feels the need of more prayer, and each meets at 7:15 one morning in the week to share, as a unit, their joys and problems. Every Friday evening [he student fellowship hour is conducted in Jackson Hall. Speakers chosen from the student body bring messages the Lord has laid upon their hearts. A heart to heart communion of the student body with its Master follows. Days of prayer are set aside in which the students in their free periods may unite in groups and pray for the school, while at least once a semester the whole school, students and faculty alike, drop all other matters and spend the morning in supplication and praise. Prayer changes things is the belief of Northwestern, and God has always proven true to Mis promise —all other things shall be added unto you.

Discovered a peculiar formation of clouds and named it Jackson Hal!. Also discovered a crowd of feminine members of that galaxy known as Christians, new creations in Christ Jesus, converging on Jackson Hall After much milling around, they all found their own locations and settled down to shine. Srpi. 19-21— I he masculine types of stars joined the feminine workers in depositing a bit of star dust in the treasurer s office, and received in exchange, permission to let their light shine in the halls and classes of Jackson Hall for the next four months. Sept. 23 - I he morning stars sang together 5 After due observation, T concluded that this was the opening of the new school year, celebrated with a grand chapel service. At this time, the planets Mars, Mercury, and Venus were in conjunction, an unusual occurrence. I might mention that these planets are called, by the stars at least, Dr. Riley, Mr. Moyer, and Mrs. Riley. Skpt. 24—1 he music of the spheres was shattered by a confused sound of moaning. Investigating, I found that the Senior stars were being introduced to Analysis, Parlia¬ mentary Law, and English 7; and that the night watchman of the three places of abode, called dormitories, were taking up their arduous duties. Oct. 10 — The stars packed a bountiful lunch and betook themselves to a secluded spot on the Milky Way, named Minnehaha Falls, where they enjoyed an afternoon of fun and fellowship, climaxed by lunch and a devotional period. Oct. 12—Much excitement in the dormitories! The janitor and I discovered at the same lime that this was caused by the entrance of a mascot, a black and white kitten named Russell Hall Oct. 22 —A comet named Harry Rirnmer shot through the skies, pausing long enough at Jackson Hall to say, “Hello” and “Goodbye” Oct, 31— The stars shivered, shook, and shuddered through the three dormitories. I found the reason to he the school Hallowe ' en party Now 3-1 Another comet, Dr James V hitcomb B rougher, stopped for special meetings in the First Baptist Church. Noy. 28 -Dec. 1—The first vacation! Some of the stars boarded light rays and went home. The others stayed where they were and labored to bring their Parliamentary Law notebooks up to date.

Edwin Orr, of Belfast, shot across the sky, bringing much blessing through Ins brief stay Dec. 21 -Suitcases lined the halls and impeded traffic as a special chapel service ushered in the Christmas vacation Stars from Pennsylvania to Oregon rode the lightning home. The few who were left slept late, worked hard, and initiated the Loring Park skating season, Jan. 10—The Senior stars chartered a moonbeam, run by the Street Railway Co„ and journeyed to Columbia Heights, where they spent the evening on (or off) toboggans, adjourning later to the clubhouse for lunch and a fellowship meeting. [an. 14—It was moved, seconded, and unanimously carried in the Parliamentary Law class of Senior luminaries that the final examinations for the year be indefinitely postponed.” 44 Jnnjgjito- (Mi Jan. 16—Venus (Mrs. Riley) logins reminding the Senior stars llvat the Scroll of the ages must go to press immediately, if not sooner. Jan 27-31—At times when the stars should have been eclipsed by cloud-blankets, I observed blazes of light all over the celestial regions. This phenomenon was caused by the stars 1 preparing for final examinations. J ' an. 30-31—A number of new stars joined the galaxy just in time for the Pilot party, given by the outside inhabitants to the Minnesota stars, who had won the subscription contest. The old stars put their books away for another two months and started re¬ cuperating from final examinations. Feb. 7-19—A group of visiting stars assembled in the hirst Baptist Church tor the I win City Bible Conference. Their guest comets were Dr. Perrin of Rhode Island, Dr. Ayer of Ontario, and the Mellotonc quartet of Mississippi Feb. 21—A comet from foreign parts. Dr. Lockyer ol England, flashed into chapel, bringing an inspired message to warm our hearts. Mar. 1—Mars (Dr. Riley) celebrated the 39th anniversary of his pastorate at the First Baptist Church. Mar 6— Picture exchange week drew to a close and Tina Penncr won the box of candy. Mercury (Mr Moyer) was awarded a box of peanuts as the consolation prize. Mar 16—Books were again shaken free from dust and the stars were scratching their heads with all five points, trying to assimilate what they should have learned before mid term examinations Mar. 22—President’s Week brought many of the “aluminum stars back to Jackson Hall It also attracted such famous comets as Harry Rimmcr of Duluth and C. B. Waller of Arkansas. April 4-13—The stars faded away in the direction of home for a brief rest before the last dizzy whirl. April 17—The Hoodwinks, winners of the Scroll advertising contest, were entertained by the Rinkey Dinks at a party, second only to the banquet in importance and mag- nificcncc. April 20—The last “dummy” of the .Scroll was returned to the printers. The Seniors and Mrs. Riley went to bed for a rest cure. The underclassmen continued whispering in corners and behind locked doors about the banquet. April 24—Mars and Venus threw open their hospitable home to the Senior stars for a day of frolic and fellowship together May 1—After months of preparation by the underclassmen, the Senior stars, arrayed in clouds and rainbow draperies, were entertained at a great banquet at the Curtis Hotel. May 15—1 beheld a sudden void in the Northwestern sky. All the Senior stars were gone Much disturbed by this unusual phenomenon, I swept the Milky Way carefully with my telescope until—lo and behold—I found them hidden safely away at Taylors Falls, eating salad and baked beans and enjoying all the festivities, fun and fellowship of Senior Skip Day. May 22—The stars adjourned to Medicine Lake lor the day and returned, shining with a deep red glow, the effect of too close fraternization with the sun May 24—The baccalaureate sermon for the graduating stars was preached in the hirst Baptist Church by our beloved planet, Mars. May 25-29—The dormitory light bills mounted sharply as the last ordeal of the school year, final examinations, was faced. May 29—At a beautiful and impressive service in the First Baptist Church, sixty-four Seniors were given their diplomas, and over five hundred stars scattered far and wide to bring to others, through various means, some of the light reflected in their lives, for “The Light of the World is Jesus.” AS COLO ' Bold! FROZE. ' NOZE ( MUSIC AT NORTHWESTERN W HEN the foundations of the earth were laid, “the morning stars sang together and all the sons of God shouted lor joy.” The glory of God, as Creator of the world, as celebrated with, joy and triumph by the angeis. Their unanimous chorus of praise was a sweet harmonious concert. When the foundations of the primitive church were laid, the disciples and believers counted their worship in the singing of the hymns second only to the proclamation of the story of the Crucified One. There are about 225 references to music in the Bible, and fifty-five of the Psalms arc dedicated to musicians. Music, both vocal and instrumental, is so largely and honorably treated in God’s word as to assure its bearing the stamp of divine approval. “Music religions love inspires It waives the soul , and lifts it high, And wings it with sublime desires t And fits it to bespeal the Deity. Recognizing tins important avenue of service and opportunity. Northwestern offers many advantages for musical training. The Freshmen Choral Club, conducted by Professor George Kricgcr, one ol the ablest musicians in Minneapolis, trains in the fine art of group singing. The men’s Glee Club oilers further training of a high type for those of more ability. Every first year student is required to sing in a city choir which has a competent director. Many choose the great First Baptist choir of which Mr. Krieger is leader. Here each one learns to appreciate line church music and choir performance— two necessities in a well-rounded church program. The Senior and Seminary students have the inestimable benefit of a Conducting class with Arthur McKee, nationally known hymn author, ra dio singer, choir and chorus conductor. The necessary rudiments of music arc incorporated with the theory and practice of song leading. This class equips members to acceptably lead singing in any spiritual service of song. We are more than fortunate in that tyic finest musical academies of the Northwest are only two and three blocks from us. Many students wishing to specialize in piano, viol in } voice, organ and wind instruments matriculate in these schools. In keeping with the new theory of education—which is that sell-activity ol the student is as important as mere learning of formal materials—Northwestern oilers many outlets for self-expression. An excellent orchestra, numbering twenty-five members, lias helped many increase their instrumental efficiency and has also given them practical suggestions for conducting orchestras in (their own fields oi endeavor. All state occasions ol the school are fittingly colored by its appearance. Every Wednesday morning the Chapel Hour is in charge of the Student Music Committee, and the student hotly eagerly anticipate the presentation. We heard during the year, a splendid brass quartette, saxophone and clarinet ducts, violin solos and duets, vocal solos, duets and numerous male quartettes, guitar ensembles, solo accordions and mnrimbaphones. Several of our number direct choirs in city churches—a remunerative as well as educative field. One of the Seminary students regularly accompanies Mr, McKee in his evangelistic and radio singing. An analysis of the student body enumerates our musicians thus: eighty pianists, twenty violinists, twenty cornet ists, ten saxophonists, ten clarinetists, twenty-eight who play guitars, five the accordion and three the saw; there are also artists on the trombone, bassoon, tuba, flute, piccolo and ttple. We have several very fine vocal soloists anti many duos, trios and quartettes. Idle potency of such a musical constituency can hardly be calculated. Multitudinous calls from churches and various Christian organizations in and about the 1 win Cities give willing students manifold opportunity to propagate the gospel in song. As creation was attended by heavenly choristers, so will eternity be witness to the song of praise of the Redeemer, for the Psalmist says he 41 will sing of the mercy of the Lord forever,” Orchestra GIRLS’ ATHLETICS “40-love!” rang tlic cry from the Loring Park tennis courts. Then, “Your game,” and two of the North western girls, fanning their flushed faces, walked off the court and gave place to some of their waiting schoolmates; for Loring Park is very popular with Northwestern girls. In Lhc Call and spring the tennis courts arc usually crowded, and in the winter the well-kept skating rink affords hours of pleasure. The Northwestern playground is also equipped with facilities for tennis, volleyball, and horseshoe, and is becoming more and more popular as a place to spend a merry afternoon of healthful exercise. The Y. W. C. A., just three blocks from school, has co-operated with us every way possible, and many of the girls have taken advantage of the numerous facili¬ ties available. Swimming lessons cost little, while Thursday afternoons see many of the girls whirling (or falling) around on roller-skates, Minneapolis is a beautiful city. Its parks, boule¬ vards, and the open country, within easy reach of its car lines, tempt groups of hikers for long walks. Brisk, snappy, early mornings when the air is tinged with frost, and sunny spring afternoons when the lure of the out-of-doors is stronger than the spell of Analysis and Exegesis within, arc especially liked by the hikers. Various breakfasts and picnics tend to the develop¬ ment of upper-class and lower-class kittenball and volleyball teams, which play each other for the girls championship at Medicine Lake on the memorable day of the all-school picnic. Then we indulge in every sport, from ping-pong and croquet to rowing across the lake, giving a full day to fresh air and recreation to sustain us through the dreaded final exams of the next week. Our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit,” says Paul; and girls at North western, realizing this, keep fit by judicious exercise that they might he ready for the work that lies before them till He come.” Favorite outdoor and Indoor sports BOYS’ ATHLETICS T HROUGH our own facilities and those contrib¬ uted to us by modern, athletic Minneapolis, Northwestern is able to offer her students unusual athletic privileges. No matter what one ' s favorite sport may be, he will find opportunity to practice, develop and enjoy il at Northwestern. Our dormitories are located on the edge of the most beautiful and well-kept park in Minneapolis— Loring Park, Its smooth, paved, shaded tennis courts are a lure and a relief to the student who is wearied with a siege of “spring fever,” Through the Annual School Tennis Tournament played on these courts, the champion tennis player of the school is found. Tiie large kittenball diamond is among the best of the city. As the “urge of the game” starts to sweep over the old veterans every spring, teams arc organ¬ ized, and after hard, hot practices we are swept into one of tlie largest athletic events of the year—the inter-class “kittenball” tournament played at Medicine Lake, Located in down-town Minneapolis, our students have access to all of the pri vileges of one of the best Y. M. C. A.s in existence through a generous, re¬ duced-rate membership offer. Perhaps the greatest single advantage of the “Y” is its beautiful, tile- constructed swimming pool, and the services of a competent swimming instructor. With the hrst cold spell and its snow flurries, stu¬ dents of Northwestern don their old extra sweaters and go out to enjoy one of the many municipal skating rinks or toboggan si teles of our winter city, Minneapolis. Our newly organized basket-ball team shows many promises for future fun and fame. All-state, high school, basket-ball stars are not unknown to us, nor are other good players. At the present time we have found competition in church teams, and teams from some of the academies and Bible schools of the city, (By the way, from the looks of this year ' s team, competition will he hard to find in another year). At this writing our team lias been undefeated. Our athletic program, as all others, is done “heartily as unto the Lord,” always praying that even in this— He may he glorified. The champions The clean ftp ' s In the Swim 49 The demonstration program, which is given at the dose of the Bible School period, is much like that of each clay ' s program, with the addition of a few special features The children recite the Scriptures they have learned and sing several of their best songs Alter their parts have been given, the program closes, and the friends and parents may inspect the handwork which is then finished and on display. 1 he closing exerases are oEten very impressive. It is thrilling to catch the beaming eyes of fond parents as they watch their children recite; to feel the warm hand¬ shake and receive the benedictions as you hid goodbye; to see tears trickling down the cheeks as he or she promises you to continue in the faith; to kneel with seeking souls, young and old, before the Throne of Grace and observe the glad expressions of inner peace. These and many other experiences answer the question, “Does D. V. B, S pay?” DAILY VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL N important phase of the Practical Work Department is the Daily Vacation Bible School Its aim is to impart a knowledge of the Bible to boys and girls, to guide them into the experience of personal faith in Christ as Saviour and Lord, and to stimulate their growth in Christian character. There are no boundaries of race or nationality. Any child is eligible to attend The program includes Bible stories, missionary stories, memory work, songs, handwork, and object lessons. F.ach year a group of Northwestern volunteer students arc dispatched to various fields Last summer the school sent 269 workers to fields, in twelve states and Canada The enrollment from 294 schools was 11 612 pupils. Of this number, 821 professed con¬ version. In addition to the school work, the teachers visited 2,914 homes, and conducted 559 evening services. A big open truck with improvised seats was the means of transporting a group of workers to their field which was in a community where the people had no seeming knowledge of the Saviour, an d where they were prejudiced against the Gospel. Alter a ninety-mile ride in this conveyance, they arrived, weary and grimy, at a ramshackle farmhouse whose occupants received them with no little suspicion However, after two weeks of daily witnessing, the teachers won the confidence of the people, who rallied to the cause and proclaimed a holiday on the date of the school picnic. Men left their work in the field to attend the outing Thus an entrance for the gospel was secured in this dark region. In what buildings is Bible school held?—you ask. Those most commonly used are churches and school-houses; but if these are not available, balls or shacks will do—in fact, any space with a roof overhead may be utilized The emphasis is not on the sur- roundings but on the truths taught. Inconveniences do not daunt the true workman or Jesus Christ . typical school Weary Willie PRACTICAL WORK T HE group leader and the pianist entered the door of a mission on Washington Avenue, Calling cheerful greetings to the group of loungers near the door, they walked to the front of the room, where the leader began selecting songs. The door opened again and three young men carrying instruments entered. I he group leader relaxed when he saw them. “How many numbers can you give me, boys? 7 be inquired. “Three, answered the cornetist laconically. More of the group members arrived, including the Senior who was to preach, and in a few minutes they all entered a back room lor prayer. I his pre-prayer service is re¬ garded as the essential part of a mission service. They returned, mounted the platform, and the musicians began a prelude that reached the ears of a man passing outside. He hesitated, stopped, thought. Well, after all, he might as well go in for a lew minutes. When a man’s only engagement is with the icy waters of the river, a lew minutes more or less would make no difference. I ie entered. The Senior started to preach. His delivery was not homiletically perfect, hut he was in earnest and he had a real message to deliver. 1 he man who was heading tor the ri er sat still and listened intently. That suited his case, all right. Maybe there was some other way than the river. As the closing hymn was sung be walked down the aisle and accepted Christ as his Saviour. This is just one of the cases which Northwestern students meet as they serve Huh- fully day by day in all the different avenues of practical work that a large city can offer to those eager for die souls of men. Jn 24 rescue missions 130 students hud their opportunity Lor practical work. Senior boys are all given preaching assignments in these and other places week by week. In 72 churches of the city and environs, there are 275 students actively at work, l lus includes 180 in 16 choirs (160 in the First Baptist choir), 36 Sunday Schools present an active and engrossing field to 70 workers, while 8 con¬ duct Junior Christian Endeavor Societies and 2 are in the comparatively new held oi Junior Churches, Six of our men are student pastors in or near the city, thus gaining practical experience with their education. Week-day Bible classes arc being held by 16 missions, a settlement house, and various homes. One of the newest openings is the workhouse visitation, while opportunity to bring the Gospel to the county jail is being sought. So the work goes on; bearing precious seed, the students sow wherever they may be, resting in His promise that u k shall not return unto me void, but shall prosper in the thing whereunto I send it. MW WANTED Y. M. C. A. One night, I met a Christian man, who also was interested In the young men in the Y iincJ their spiritual welfare. We met twice a week for prayer with another Christian man who was living at the U Y’ The Lord answered our prayer and opened this place lor weekly services. 1 Ins meeting has had its discouragements, such as poor attendance and a lack of interest on the part of Christians, hut the Lord has overcome these by giving lls the joy of seeing souls saved. Over twenty men have been won for the Lord One man, who professed to be an infidel, came to our meeting weekly lie asked innumerable questions concerning the authenticity of the Bible, but later he asked about Christ, and finally the question, how may I be saved? The Lord saved this young man and called him into His service. One night asked a one-armed man, who was in the lobby, to come to the meeting. He gladly consented. At the close of the meeting, he accepted Christ and confessed Him openly in the First Baptist Church the following Sunday evening. He immedi ately caught the vision of service and promoted the meeting with great enthusiasm until the following Wednesday afternoon, when he died suddenly from a heart attack. A IT’W months after I had enrolled at Northwestern, I secured work in the Y. M. C. A. Jor my meals I became acquainted with a number of the boys living in the building, and became burdened very much for their souls. I tried to arrange for a Gospel meeting where these hoys would he given an opportunity to accept Christ as their personal Saviour. At first the suggestion of such a meeting was radically opposed by the V. M. C. A. management. They said it would he impossible to conduct a Christian meeting that would not offend the Jew and the Catholic. . i A group of ten students attend the meeting regularly, and do visitation work The lt Y ,m has become coopera¬ tive by allotting us room 1301 in which to hold the meeting. We praise the Lord for this new field. May we be faithful in prayer, for God docs hear and answer prayer. A typictd meeting Exterior riftr of V A full nny Y. W. C. A. I WAS sitting, very lonely, in the lobby of the Y. W. C. A. one cold, Sunday afternoon, dozing, perhaps dreaming, when I heard music. “My faith is built on nothing less than Jesus blood and righteousness.” When had 1 last heard that song? Once, yes, I had faith built on the blood of Jesus Christ. Now [ haven’t even faith. ! have no friends, no work, no home! Again I heard, “All other ground is sinking sand.” Oh, I ' m cm sinking sand, I’m slipping; help me! I woke up with a start, for someone touched my arm. A girl asked me if I would like to come to the auditorium and attend the service. She explained that a group of girls from the Northwestern Bible School were conducting a vesper service. I accepted the invitation and accompanied her. The smiling faces of those girls who testified made me remember that once I had been like that. A violin duet struck deep down into my heart as 1 recognized old hymns. The service went on and on. Some of the girls were smiling, some were scowling bitterly. Those fifteen girls from that Bible School seemed to he receiving something from their own meeting. Oh, what is that girl singing? “Why should my Saviour to Calvary go, Why should He love me so?” I realized then that God still loved me though I had gone deep into sin. I breathed a prayer, “Oh, God, do you still love me? U you do, please forgive me.” Instantly, a flood of peace and joy swept over my being. Now ! had laith _a new faith to believe in Him, and I am His forever. THE FIRESIDE CLUB O NE of the newer avenues for prac¬ tical work is the Fireside Girls’ Club at 6 South Eleventh Street. This home was founded in April, 1932, by Mrs. M, J. Am lie, and was originally a project of the Orga nized Unemployed. The privilege of using the building was granted by Dr. Riley, whose assis- lance lias been immeasurable. The dub lias always been entirely self-support¬ ing, It accommodates seventy girls. Since 1933, Northwestern girls have been conducting weekly Bible classes in Northwestern s original classroom. The Word is given out in song, testi¬ monies, Scripture, and messages. A question box has added to the interest. This work has grown greatly this year. We praise the Lord for it. The Y. Wr mrottp The Y. IP. exterior THE PILOT A ROUND the world with the Pilot! 5 This challenging slogan expresses thusiasm of the student body for their mo nthly publication, The Pile the etv ithly publication, The Pilot. The magazine has literally circled the globe in the remarkably short time since its inception. From its unpretentious beginning as a small mimeographed sheet, it has grown to he one of the Important religious periodicals of the country. There are features for every member ol the family—valuable material for every phase of Christian work It contains Bible articles and answers to difficult questions, notes on the Sunday School lessons anti timely news from the iorcign fields It numbers among its contributors: H. A. Ironside, 1 larry Rim me r, W. S. I lottel, 1 Icrbert Lockyer, R. L. Moyer, W. Ib Riley and others. The purpose of the magazine is three fold: to provide an avenue of expression for talented students, to inform the many friends of “Northwestern” of the progress of the school, and, above all, to bring the Word of God to hearts hungering for truth in these days of doubt and confusion The Pilot has been the instrument in God’s hands of bringing sinful men to a knowl¬ edge of the Saviour, and saints to a closer walk with their Lord. Only the power of believing prayer can account for its unusual progress thus far, and prayer must continue to be its support. May it firmly hold forth the Word of Life 57 til Christ comes again! THE SCROLL A RS. RILEY, chewing a bacon and egg sandwich at the annual Pilot picnic, watched 1V1 the Pilot staff playing kittcnbalL “Ob, my goodness.!” she soliloquized, “Is this the group from which 1 must choose the Scroll editors?” In October, after much prayer, the theme was chosen, and the scenic section started sleuthing for pictures discovering, incidentally, a new color process. The business staff, with “Rudy” furnishing transportation, went out lor “ads,” 1 he Missions editors hunted for a unique presentation; the catalogue section revised the catalogue, and the school life section plunged head-first into a sea of pictures and articles. Conferences and interviews crowded each other. Rex counted characters in his sleep. Archer had vivid nightmares of losing a big “ad”; Harry sketched furiously; Luverne figured millimeters and cuts till her head swam; and the picture editor became a public nuisance. Finally, after months of labor, the Seniors drew a long breath and relaxed. 1 he Scroll was off the press!

THE NORTHWESTERN BIBLE CONFERENCE [ IE fortieth anniversary of the Northwestern Bible Conference was held this past summer (August 11-26) among the igloos, rustic lodges, and unique auditoriums at Mission drove, beautifully located on the northwestern shore of Medicine Lake, eight miles from the heart of Minneapolis. This combination of water and land is surpassingly attractive, with its large, crystal clear, spring-fed lake and its 96 acres of original forest. The new tepees added to the Indian village, the improved bathing beach, and the won¬ derful new Youth’s Chapel which now marks the grounds as distinctly Christian, were some of the added attractions wc found awaiting us. Housing accommodations lor six hundred people were provided at minimum rates, $2.50 to $7.50 a week, according to accommodation. Five hundred people were registered in hotels and cottages, while over one hundred lived in “city of tents.” Campers came in groups numbering up to forty members, brought their own food and prepared it on the grounds, pitched their Lents at a ground rental fee of $1.00 per person, and attended the meetings in gypsy fashion. The enrollment this past year was the largest in the history of the conference. Mrs, Jennie Wenigcr, ' 24, welcomed the strangers with a cordiality that made each one fed at home immediately, white the friendliness of all attending promoted rapid acquaintance. Each day was rightly begun with our gathering at 7:15, bell time, for the morning watch. After a time of prayer and fellowship together, we scrambled to the dining room of Little Mothers Inn for our breakfast. The morning hours were filled with conferences. We received an hour of Bible study each day from Dean K. L. Moyer. The period during which church problems were discussed by Dr. Riley was always helpful. During the surprise hour, to which everyone looked forward each day, missionaries, evangelistic workers, various pastors, singers, etc., were heard. At the 11 o’clock hour the conference was addressed by one of our outstanding visitors: Dr. Herbert Lockyer of Liverpool, England; Dr. Robert G. Lee of Memphis, Tennessee; Dr. W. H. Rogers of New York City; or the Rev. W. A. By us of Charleston, West Virginia, A hearty dinner was then enjoyed. The afternoons were spent in rest and recreation. Swimming, boating, tennis, ping-pong, kitten ball, making acquaintances, and having little conferences were the favorite activities, while up on a beautiful hill in the woods a group met for prayer. The members of the conference gathered again in the late afternoon to bear an address from one of our visiting preachers anti one from Dr. Riley. After thus feeding our souls, wc invaded the dining room to feed our bodies, after which the sports enthu¬ siasts surrounded the diamond to see the conference ball team play against the Mission Farm team. Then came tile anticipated evening service. The great tabernacle, seating about l,5t_, was filled to capacity when crowds poured into the grounds from the surrounding cities and towns; and standing room only was available to late comers. Prof. George Ilultgrcn of MacPhail School of Music, Minneapolis, directed the music and the choir, lie was accompanied by Miss Ada Beth Groom, 36, of Corey, Kansas, pianist. I he special singing and the orchestra, directed by the Rev. Walter Bridge, ’24, added zest to the meetings. Bonfire gatherings were often held following the evening service. The clear, deep tones of the big bell rang for the last time of the day, at 10:30, to remind us that it was time to retire to our living quarters and keep quiet. One of the most precious memories of the two weeks is that of the prayer-meetings in the Wigwam after IQ, At 11 o ' clock the ethereal sound of taps called for ‘lights out, Every morning from 9 to 11 o’clock the Junior Conference, in charge of Herbert Hazzard, met in Little Mother ' s Inn. This conference was of unusual interest to tlie children and profitably occupied their time while their parents attended the other meet¬ ings. The children were entertained with new choruses, new handwork, new lessons, and a surprise hour each morning. Treasure hunts, swimming parties, hikes, etc,, kept them busy and happy. An additional feature this year was the Northwestern Bulletin, issued each evening. This paper gave the program for the next day and kept us up to the minute on the news of the grounds. August 20 was Alumni Day, during which the enthusiastic greetings and reunions of former students of Northwestern Bible School were heard everywhere. Approximately one hundred alumni attended the meetings throughout the conference. As a fitting culmination of the conference, a musicale was presented at hirst Baptist Church, Minneapolis, August 26 Prof. I lultgrcn presented the choir, and various musi¬ cal numbers were rendered Theodore Bergman resumed his position as organist after photographing everything and everybody within sight of his motion picture camera at Mission Grove. We have abundant promises for the conference next year. A new girls ' dormitory is to be erected. All living quarters arc to be provided with running water. The program lor next summer is partially planned. Dr. J. C. Massce of Chicago, a great Bible teacher and evangelist will come to us, and also Dr. Oscar Lowry, who is a noted evangelist. With the above-mentioned addition of facilities and the attractive program planned, we look forward to a wonderful and blessed conference during the coming summer. Come out and join us.

A PROSPEROUS period of seventeen years marks die progression Missionary Band from its inception to the present time. 1 he members hi of those students who are vitally interested in missions and arc willing to go, give, and intercede as God directs. It has grown from twenty-two to approximately one hundred. Three definite ways in which we, as servants of Jesus Christ, may be oi untold use¬ fulness to His work among the heathen are: by prayer, by contributions, and by foreign service. Prayer; For one halt-hour every morning before classes begin, the Foreign Missionary Band conducts a meeting lor intercession on behalf of missions in all parts of the world, concentrating definitely upon the known needs of one continent each day, so that the entire globe may be covered weekly. Since the need of our missionary brethren is so great, we urge all students to attend at least one of these meetings each week. One chapel period each week is also in charge of the Mission Band, during which a missionary who is on furlough is ordinarily procured to relate his experiences, show pictures of his journeys, and to present the need of his own field to all the students. Contributions: During the past seventeen years, nearly $8,000 has been sent by Northwestern undergraduates to our former students in foreign lands. I his docs not include the present school year, which promises to exceed any other, A man in the home council of a certain faith mission board once expressed a truly sacrificial spirit by asserting, “If our missionaries are forced to go hungry, 1 wish to go hungry, too.” Have we realized the utter lack among those who are preaching in foreign lands— lacking that which we consider necessities? Shall we give until it hurts? No. Give until it cheers our hearts, for “God loveth a cheerful giver. foreign service: Without question, one must forsake many privileges, luxuries, and self-ambitions in order to respond to the Lord ' s last command “Go ye! He promises: “Whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel’s, the same shall save it (Mark 8:35). We rejoice that one hundred fr om among our students have been willing to deny self in order to tread foreign soil for 11 is sake and the Gospel s, and have buried their lives to preach in sin-darkened lands. God s protecting care has been theirs, also, lor only one has departed to be with the Lord. Activities are based upon the following aim; I.

Christians everywhere have forfeited multifold blessings because they have failed to realize the benefits derived from a studv of missions It is our purpose, then, to open this channel of blessing that is closed to so many. „ Tllc , w on ' { In lesions’ comes from the Latin “mitto” and is equivalent to the Greek apostcllo. The definition reveals several interesting facts: first, that the missionary and the apostles arc “sent ones”; second, that the idea of missions is a part of God ' s eternal plan. 1 The expulsion of man from the garden of Eden and the dispersion at Babe! arc basic steps in the divine plan of the future universal worship of Christ. The overthrow of this divine purpose was attempted by Satan, who encouraged Nimrod and others to congregate into cities. When God, in His wisdom, saw the need of judgment, He provided a way of escape through the Ark during the days of Noah. Alter this catastrophe, man again forgot God, and it was necessary to call him to repentance. It was this need that gave rise to the call ami commission of Abraham— the medium of blessing to the nations. Unfortunately many of this great patriarch’s descendants believed the benefits were intended for them alone. It was such an attitude that made it necessary tor God to compel Jonah to carry his message to Nineveh. This prophet s service, though hindered by patriotism, proved God’s love for condemned Gentiles. Other examples of missionaries, such as Joseph and Esther, could he discussed, but sufficient evidence has already been given to prove the existence of missionaries in the Old Testament. With the advent of Christ, missions took a new aspect. It was no longer the national enterprise of Israel, but the responsibility of the individual Christian. In preparation for tins task, Christ called the disciples. Many and varied were the experiences through which these men passed before the lessons of courage, humility and self-denial were even partially learned. Although the term of schooling was short, it ended with the promised coming of the Holy Spirit, “Who should guide into all truth.’’ With Christ’s ascension, this period was reached and the Great Commission, “Go ye into all the world,’’ was given. Upon the utterance of these words, Missions, as an enterprise, was given to the disciples. In spite of the enormity of the task, the lonely band could find comfort in the promise, “I.o, I am with you akvay.” In accordance with the divinely appointed calendar, the day of Pentecost arrived, bringing with it the gift of the Spirit. Through Ilis indwelling presence, Me not only empowered the believers for witness, but also directed them into fields of service. Peter’s sermon at Pentecost, Philip’s commission to Gaza, Paul’s call to Macedonia—these illus¬ trate the Spirit s relation to the enterprise. After a hricl period of undisturbed growth, opposition broke out against the early church. Through the instrumentality of human persecution, Christians were scattered everywhere to accomplish God’s purpose to call from among the Gentiles a people for lbs name. Although almost unsurmoumablc obstacles appeared on every hand, Missions .net no defeat Persecution, famine, perils of water, perils of fellow countrymen, martyr¬ dom—none o! these could change or undermine the zeal of the early Christians. Missions conceived in the Councils of God, demonstrated in the Son of God, directed hy the Spirit ot God, championed by the Servants of God—can never fail in its objective. h cn die gates of hell are impotent against it. 60 EUROPE E UROPE is seldom regarded as a mission field. While it is called Christian, few of the people believe in Jesus Christ as their Saviour Except for the British Isles and the Scandinavian countries, Europe is ignorant of the Gospel; most of the people have no knowledge of die Bible, and many do not even have a copy in their hands. Roman Catholicism and Greek Orthodoxy are the prevailing religions Pagan rites and super¬ stitions permeate the doctrines. Many worship the Virgin Mary as their Saviour Added to this is the increasing prevalence of Atheism and Communism among all Europeans Until 1870, all evangelical work and distribution of Gospel literature were suppressed by papal authority in countries subscribing to the Romanist faith. In that year, the Great Ecumenical council, assembled at Rome, declared the pope to be infallible in regard to all questions of faith and morals. Within twenty-four hours of this declaration, war was declared between France and Germany. The French suffered a crushing defeat, neces¬ sitating the withdrawal of French troops from Rome. Left open to the Italian army, the Eternal City was declared to he the Capitol of United Italy and the seat of King Victor Emmanuel ' s government. This political transformation curtailed the papal authority and opened the doors to Christendom. These countries, formerly denied the light of the Scriptures, because of papal suppression, constitute a field of 370,000,000 people, including 10,000,000 Jews The western countries were strongly influenced by the Reformation, but, during the fearful persecution of the Inquisition, the Protestant faith was nearly extinguished. Today, only a small proportion of the people profess Protestantism. Germany is now threatened by a new form of evil, Nazism The church has been wiped out ol Russia. The older generation who still cling to religion is dying, and the rising generation, sur¬ rounded by atheism, is coming to the front. Notwithstanding God has Mis people in Russia, and there is a real hunger for the Word of God Bibles are carried to Russia through Siberia and the neighboring countries The people of the southern European countries exhibit much indigenous pride in their own Orthodox church. To the majority, the national church is closely associated with the old order of things They have no background ol the Protestant Reformation to call them to a purer faith, and lor this reason the converts are few and the work slow and difficult. A number of denomination and independent mission boards are working in these countries. The American Bible Society and the British and Foreign Bible Society do an important work in the dissemination of Christian literature. I he nationalistic spirit in southern Europe is becoming so intense that the present organiza¬ tions find their position precarious. A revival is needed among the groups of Christians to awaken them from their apathy. ' I bis requirement, coupled with the dissemination of Gospel literature, is the only hope lor the spread of the Gospel I here arc about 10,000,000 Jews in Europe, Their attitude toward the GosjKl is changing, and now a missionary can talk ireely to many ol them about Christ. 1 he Jews in Europe constitute the largest Jewish field in the world. The picture of Europe ' s spiritual need would Ik disheartening were it not lor the sure promises of God’s Word, Just following the war, The Belgian Gospel Mission was founded, with Mr. and Mrs Ralph Norton as its first directors fn 1934, the year of Mr. Norton’s death, the mission had to its credit 61 regular preaching posts, 130 workers and their wives, distribution of 13,000,000 pieces ol literature, two Bible schools, together with a correspondence course and the publishing of three periodicals in French and Flemish respectively. What God has done in Belgium can Ik accomplished in other European countries if we arc willing to go and to give. 61 Picking cotton, a common occupation of the negro HOME MISSIONS T l repeated phrase distance lends enchantment ' is again true in reference to the subject of home and foreign missions. It is a well established fact that a man may sdt-sacrificingly give §5,000 to the cause of the Chinese in their native land and be blind to the spiritual need of the Chinese laundryman several blocks away. We need to lilt up our eyes not only to the necessity of “the regions beyond, ' 1 but also to the urgent want of our neighbor next door, The student of missions alone knows the vast number of unreached and spiritually darkened people In this country, which boasts of an open Bible and freedom of worship. Since the early days of American colonization, the Indians have been the subject of earnest prayer and devoted labor by those who longed to see them followers of the Lord Jesus Christ. Zealous missionaries, often preceding the hunter, fur-trader and settler, made tours by foot and canoe, preaching and establishing churches among them. Today, the majority of Indians live on reservations. Extensive work by denoininational boards has been carried out through schools, literature, and medicine; and the places reached show marked results. “Swing low, sweet chariot, Coming for to carry me home—softly sings the Negro tenor; but it is a regrettable fact that this sentiment which the Negro expresses and voices so beautifully produces little active service for the Lord Jesus Christ, The Negroes are a naturally religious, superstitious, and emotional people; and owing to their former oppression and present poverty, the greater number are illiterate. “Getting religion a common phrase with them, usually means an exhilarating experience founded upon physical and mental emotions. This deplorable condition is aggravated by an incompe¬ tent ministry. They grossly misinterpret the Scriptures, but their claims to special reve¬ lations from the Holy Ghost profoundly impress their ignorant auditors. The people do not rise above their teachers; thus, only a small number manifest a practical, consecrated Christianity. Outside help is needed to aid in the training of better pastors, and to assist in the support of parochial schools, which will produce intelligent Christian members. ' I Eve spiritual darkness of the southern mountaineer Is appalling; only fragments of Christian truth arc known to the mass of them. A stranger once asked an intelligent appearing lad whether he had ever heard of Christ. “Yar, it’s the hoard ' he replied. “What is the Lord? 1 ' “It ' s just the hoard ’ One little girl said, “God is a tiling that keeps the hands warm. Ignorance like this has led many a missionary to labor among the backward mountain folk Preaching and teaching the Word by evangelization anti through the school, as well as the organization of Sunday Schools and tent-meetings preparatory to founding churches, constitute the essentials of the work. Most people now know that Alaska is neither a land of perpetual snow, nor an arena for spectacular gold rushes 1 Although the northern sections of the country have a severe climatej ibis is not true of the southern regions. Missionary work among the native Alaskans has not been recently entered upon; for numerous converts are now in the second and third generations, The larger proportion of the population has been reached by the denominations, notably the Presbyterian and Episcopalian, but a considerable number have not yet heard the Gospel. Every year great numbers of immigrants come to this country Usually they are pro¬ foundly religious. Their faith, because of the close connection between Church and state in the old country, played an important part in their lives The church in America has a grave responsibility to these strangers, which it has fulfilled in part; notwithstanding many do not find a spiritual home in this country. One writer aptly states that “to the western mind the Oriental seems to wear a mask. There is something inscrutable about him and to those who do not know them, all Japanese, Chinese, and Filipinos look alike ’ For years, a small but devoted group of missionaries have defended them against prejudiced abuse and have striven to teach them the Christian truth. The Mexican composes another factor of our home mission program Despite his illiteracy and poverty, the Mexican is very proud Nominally Mexicans are Roman Catholics, but it is attested that only seventy-live per cent believe in anything, and that they readily respond to the right sort of Protestant approach. Very literally has the American Sunday School Union obeyed the injunction of the Master to go out into the “highways and byways and compel them to come inT Par out into the isolated rural communities go the faithful Sunday school missionaries to establish not only Sunday schools but to conduct preaching services, hold Daily Vacation Bible Schools and perform any work that will contribute to the cause of Christ. This is but a brief review of the home mission field; but have you not been impressed by the still unreached thousands in our own country, who have not heard the Gospel message? You may not he a missionary in the accepted sense of the word; but is there not an immigrant in your community who would respond to a cheerful welcome to your church, or have you not a dollar that could he used to send Col portage books to an unenlightened mountainccr? Indium oj Q luhomu Ahiikut} girl A Southern mountain home Chinese enutgetiaic party ASIA npiiE sunrise of modern missionary efforts appeared around 1800, when a poor young X cobbler was touched with the vision of the great world imrcachcd by the Gospel message As he read, prayed, and meditated, a mighty purpose was born within him. This was a dawning of a vast missionary work in India by William Carey. Almost unbelievable obstacles beset the paths of our pioneer workers. The caste system of India presented a great difficulty. If the missionaries preached to one caste, no other caste listened. So real were the discouragements of the first few years, that the missionary endeavors were almost abandoned. During all these testing times, the Lord prospered His work and caused it to grow. About the same time Robert Morrison sailed lor China, where he expected to begin his career as a missionary. He was not even allowed to set foot on the mainland He became a translator in [he factory of the hast India Company, and was virtually a prisoner in his own house. Nevertheless, he started to translate the Bible into Chinese. The entrance of the Gospel was obstructed by the fierce anti-foreign sentiment. But worse than this, die enslaving opium habit had bound many victims, so that their minds were dulled and their moral senses hardened, Gilmour was the pioneer to Mongolia, and Sheldon to Tibet. Of what persistent sterling qualities were these early missionaries made! Nothing daunted their courage and zeal. Now let us view the countries, people and missionary accomplishments in Asia up to the present time. CHINESE EMPIRE By her geographical position China is separated from the whole world The moun¬ tains of Tibet rise as an ins urmountable walk They have hindered the great wave of western conquest, which under the Mohammedans established itself in India On the North and West stretch vast wastes of desert, untrodden and impassable, while the sea separates the Empire from contact on the East. I he temperature varies considerably, but its average is lower than in other countries of ihc same latitude This makes it more healthful for foreigners. The Chinese language seems to isolate the nation and to separate the people intel¬ lectually from their fellow men Because the language is symbolic instead of phonetic, it is very tedious for most foreigners to learn. Perhaps the reason that the Chinese have been held in contempt and ridicule by other nations is that they have such curious peculiarities One illustration has been given of a man who cast himself into a canal and was dragged out. But not to be frustrated in this manner, he sat down on the bank and starved to death. This scene would bring reproach upon the man who had cheated him. The occasional cruelty of these people is beyond belief. In a wealthy mandarins family where the only grown daughter showed signs of leprosy, a slave girl was bought lor the purpose of being butchered, so that the patient could be fed on the carcass. How is this to be understood by people of high moral standards? Nomiufic tribesmen of Tibet Their government contains equally curious features; men, appointed to expensive offices without salary, are punished for sneezing; lofty political ethics are combined with the most corrupt official class in the world; and professed atheism or at best agnosticism is confused with silly superstition. These people are profoundly impressive Nowhere else in the world has lhe idea of social and family responsibility been so developed. In no other country has the idea of filial piety been so emphasized and honored. It is true that the position of womanhood is subordinated, but marriage has always been regarded as sacred, and there is little polygamy. The three outstanding religions of China are: Confucianism, Taoism, and buddhism. The worship of ancestors, forming the backbone of Confucianism, is the Gibraltar of Chinese belief, beiore which Christianity stands almost powerless. It has been described “filial piety gone mad.” In this system, there is no relation to a living God. Insufficient though it he lor the soul ' s longing, this creed has been and still is the national religion of China Taoism is a form of religion which produces spirit anti demon worship Horrors in life and terrors in death are constantly demonstrated The followers possess a high transcendental idealism. Travelers visiting their temples may see unusual sights which the people attribute to the work of the spirits. In reality the spirits arc Satan’s cohorts. The dragon is the symbol which adorns their shrines Buddhism teaches transmigration of the soul. It makes life desirable or undesirable according to one ' s present lot and balance of merit or demerit. The gods of Buddhism are too numerous to mention. The priests arc mere beggars who are morally depraved. Recently Communism has gained many adherents, and like a flood of terror has almost ravaged whole provinces, bringing with it suffering, persecution, destruction and death. The Mohammedans are gaining strength in the Northwest Provinces. Mission¬ aries are becoming alarmed because numerous mosques are being erected. The enemy is always working, even while Christians sleep. Formerly, education consisted of Confucian Classics. Today the later methods of education arc being introduced, and bring a tendency toward Modernism if not total Atheism In the government schools, Christians are not allowed to teach or even attend. The greatest problem in missionary work is “How to present Christ to the Chinese mind ' ' livere is nothing on earth so full of distortions, of abnormalities, of curious twists, and deficiencies. Progress has been made in evangelizing this vast continent Colleges, hospitals, orphanages, and asylums have been erected to bring relief from suffering and ignorance, hut what China needs is Christ. Christianity is the only power to fight vice, cleanse foulness, and dispel the superstition which has for so many centuries enslaved these people. With the startling fact before us that over thirty thousand souls are dying each day without Christ, what does one day’s delay mean: Millions are crying, “Come over and tell us of the Saviour, we need Him too. INDIA India is unique. It differs from all other lands in climate, people, and religion. The northern area is a mountainous district. Just below these citadels of snow, upon the Indian plains, the heat at times exceeds that o i almost any other place on earth. In parts of India, during the prevalence of the hot winds, the mercury rises to 120 degrees in die shade. At such times, in the homes of Europeans, all doors and windows facing wind¬ ward arc covered with thick mats, which are kept wet by buckets of water thrown on them day and night by native servants. The wind, which is like a blast from a furnace, becomes thus somewhat more endurable. In summer the railway authorities actually keep coffins ready at the principal stations to receive the bodies of travelers who may have succumbed to the beat—victims of a climate suited to another race. India is, there¬ fore, a land of startling contrasts. While prostrated by the beat upon the plains, one may be gazing on eternal snow. It is a meeting in one land of the North Foie and the Equator. The people of India are religiously inclined, filled with superstition and with fear. Women weave ugly blotches into silk scarfs to avoid the evil eye. Three-fourths of the people of India are gripped by Hinduism—that huge system of demonology. This religion boasts 330,000,000 gods and goddesses. “Krishna, one of the most popular Hindu deities, is reputed to have had 16,100 wives and is the very incarnation of lust. Hindu religion is utterly divorced from morality. The llindu believes that a religious motive justifies every immorality, however gross,” “Lying, stealing, fraud, and adultery can he atoned lor in India without loss of caste, but to eat of the ' sacred cow 1 is for the Hindu the unpardonable sin,” One white-haired grandmother touched her rosary—made supposedly of solidified tears shed in wrath by their god—and said, “This is my ladder to heaven.” Hinduism plus die caste system are hindrances to Christianity, Two of the out¬ standing evils of the caste system are; that it threatens every person inclined to he a Christian with losses and sufferings of the most grievous character; and secondly, it segregates the new convert and puts Ivim in a position where he can have little or no inllucnce over his former friends. By way of illustration, a lad of twelve had resolved to become a Christian, Mis clan became so enraged over it that there was a riot in the streets and a poison cup waiting lor him in the house. They would rather see death than suffer loss of caste. Alter baptism they lose home, relatives, employment, and any inheri¬ tance that might be theirs. The relatives of one young man, after he was to he baptized, banged their heads on the ground and chanted the funeral song, “My son is dead; my son is dead.” Since the landing of Carey, over one hundred and thirty years ago, India has been an open field for missionary endeavor. The work among the Indians has been carried fifi Hi ml a pilgrims bathing in the (hinges lira on in various ways. Evangelistic work, such as preaching to the masses in bazaars, temples and lairs, in systematic village tours, in mission hall and bungalow, has yielded an income of souls. Medical missions have opened many new fields particularly among the multitudes of India ' s poor secluded women, Bible, tract, and Christian literature work is an invaluable part of the missionary enterprise. Because of the peculiar seclusion of India ' s women, and the peculiarly distressing conditions attending their lite by reason of customs such as child marriage, the position of widows, and formerly suttee, direct missionary work is carried on among them. Of the 352,000,000 people in India, scarcely one third have had the Gospel made known to them. At the present time, Indians arc open to the Gospel. Can we resist the cry of the hungry souls who long to know the true God? Open your spiritual ears to the plea as was written by natives to already over-worked missionaries: “Wc want to worship the golden feet of Jesus Swami but there is no one here to teacli us. Can we never have the Holy Jesus Book for our children to read to us? Must we always he blind? Please send us a teacher with the Golden Book; ' BURMA Burma, situated between India and China, is not easily approached except by sea, because of the surrounding hills and mountains. The climatic conditions are unfavorable for foreigners, because of the intense heat—even in the rainy season. About four-fifths of the people are Bormans, who are Mongolian in race and are supposed to have originally migrated from the borders of Tibet. In character they are indolent, self-satisfied, and pleasure-loving. Buddhism is their stronghold religiously. There is not a city without its pagodas and yellow-robed priests, who live by begging. The remaining population consists of numerous tribes which, lor the most part, occupy the hills. These tribespeople are descendants of emigrants from western China, who came many centuries ago. They are lower than the Burma ns in civilization and arc demon-worshippers in religion. One of the most interesting tribes is the Karens. A missionary review of Burma would he incomplete without a reference to their most striking tradition, “The Book of Silver and Gold ' “The story is told of a white brother who should come from over the sea with a lost book. This hook, as they believed, would give them deliverance, blessing, and happiness. ' 1 Many regard this tradition as an evidence that the early Mestomn missionaries from China had brought them the Gospel, centuries before. Whether this he true or not, a remarkable preparation had been made for the entrance of the: mission¬ aries. From the beginning, the reception of the Gospel has been astounding and, in fact, has had few parallels in missionary annals. “Over eighty per cent of the hundreds of Karen churches and schools arc now entirely self-supporting. They have sent their own Lying on ti bed of muh, one of the many forms of Hindu self ' tibt elution missionaries among other tribes of Burma and Karens of Siam.” The greatest barrier in the present missionary outlook is Buddhism, which enslaves over three- fourths of the Burmans. The missionary who proclaims a merely human Jesus has no message for Burma. The new Buddhist standards are much higher than those of former days; there¬ fore, added heights arc futile unless they are accompanied by the power of the living Son of God to give help. Will you pray for these de¬ ceived worshippers? 67 AFRICA A 1 •‘RICA is a land of Israel ' s bondage, of Egypt ' s ancient mysteries, lost Carthage, . the Abyssinian Lion of Judah, the slave traffic, cannibalism, robber atrocities, rampant commercial greed, international rivalry, and the supreme challenge of modern missions. We delight to tit ink ol the great continent of Africa as being thrown wide open, and offering the glad welcome to die missionary, who brings healing for the body, enlightenment for the mind, and spiritual joy for the heart. To die native, the atmos¬ phere is full of amazement, alarm, confusion, and strange new ambitions. Africa hears impressive testimony to die bewildering array of races and tribes which inhabit die Dark Continent. By far the greatest portion of Africa lies with in the Torrid Zone, and has a hot climate, although the temperature varies much according to elevation. Malaria is preva¬ lent and virulent, and the death rate among the while people lias been appalling. The average temperature is around 90 degrees Fahrenheit, rarely exceeding 100 degrees, or going below 60 degrees. A helmet, made of pith or cork, must always he worn by a while person, trom an hour after sunrise to an hour before sunset, to prevent sunstroke. March is the holiest month of the year, just before the rains, and January is the coldest, when north winds blow, bringing with them, from the great Sahara, dust so line that no grit can he felt, finer even than talcum. The sum mosquito, and water are the great enemies that have caused West Africa to he known in the past as the “White Man’s Grave.” Medical missions have a sphere of need in Africa hardly equaled elsewhere, because of the unheal thful climate, the prevalence of malaria, and other deadly diseases. Africa is a land of darkness and the shadow of death. Many superstitious beliefs bold the people hound all their lives. One time a missionary was teaching a class in niglu school; a voice was heard in the distance, and instantly the children scampered away to hide; an evil spirit was supposed to he coming to town. All women and children lied when they heard the special call of the head of the society. Ml they saw the spirit they would lose their noses.” Sometimes one secs a man or a woman whose nose has been eaten off by disease. I hese instances arc used as object lessons, and the hoys and girls, as well as the women, are taught to believe them. An Alrican woman dares not call her soul her own. The Mohammedans teach her that she has no mind, and can he saved only through her husband ' s good works. Others believe that if they have brought a certain number of children into the world, they are assured of a place in heaven. A woman ' s place in Africa is one of Inferiority, and in order to keep them there, the whip is resorted to frequently. .

Their first missionary, George Schmidt was sent out in 1737, and within four years baptized a little company of Christian converts South Africa has been covered with a complete network of missions, and some of the sons of that noble band of pioneers are now doing excellent service in the great Sudan. I be Congo field has produced a wonderful harvest of souls The success of the Presbyterian mission in the Cameron ns has been phenomenal. The missionary task is different in Africa from that in most fields, because of different conditions. India, Persia, China, and Japan have a civilization, a literature, a culture of their own upon which to build. Africa has nothing of this kind, and the missionaries have had to reduce languages to writing, establish social customs and institutions, formulate moral codes, anti introduce the first rudiments of education Livingstone, in his historic journey across Africa from east to west in 1854, went through Angola, lie received gracious hospitality at the bands of Portuguese trailers, and when he arrived at Luanda, with fever stricken body and tired limbs, he was tenderly nursed back to health again It was at Luanda that Livingstone’s knightly character was especially manifested. The Makololo chiefs had hesitated to lend their sons to the white man for his long trip from east to west; lor though they loved and trusted Livingstone personally, they with reason feared lor the safety of the party on the return journey, when no European might he with them. In Luanda harbor lay a British cruiser The captain pressed Livingstone lo come with him to Britain You are ill,” lie said, “you have worked and traveled without rest for fourteen years; all Britain will rejoice to see you Come home with us and rest, ami sec your wile and family again. ' 7 Though ill, tired, and lonely, Livingstone did not hesitate. 11 is word was bond. He plunged hack into the hush, trudging over unnumbered miles of blistering plain, across swamps and infested rivers While resting at Pungo Andonga, news was received that the ship m which his journals had been sent, and in which he himsell would have traveled, had been wrecked in a storm. Months ol steady, grinding work were required to re write bis diaries. Livingstone then pushed on into the interior, delivering his boys safely to their father-chief at Linyanti. The African is of a deeply religious nature, and gives abundant evidence of ability to apprehend lofty spiritual truth. There are three great religious powers: Paganism, Mohammedanism, and Christianity hut the only way to civilize this continent is to employ Christianity.

She is a mighty nation of militarism, but bases her blind worship of heroism upon the superstitions of pagan philosophy. Into such a land went the Crusaders for the Cross of Christ in the year 1859 The first Protestant missionaries to this country were the Rev, John Tiggins and Bishop C. M. Williams, who were sent out by the Episcopal church of the United States, At Iirst the hostility of the natives was unbelievable; but the increasing hopefulness of progress in this work was clearly seen. The difficulties seemed insurmountable; yet even the obstacles ol language interpretation and racial prejudice were overcome. The Bible translation work was begun, and by the year 1870, thousands of copies of the Gospels were distributed into the interior portions of the island. One illustration of the power of tlie Gospel is given in the story of Wakasa. This Nipponese was converted by reading a Bible which he found floating on a river. Wakasa began an active ministry for his Saviour, and had to suffer much torture and final martyrdom because of his convictions. The population is varied. In the northern sections we find the Ainu tribes, who are survivors of an ancient and aboriginal race They are of a low physical, mental, and social order, and have as their religion only the simplest of nature worship. The southern country is populated by the true Japanese These people possess neatness in person and habits, are quick willed, apt to learn, and are so extremely polite that they have been called “The French of the Orient. However, they have contrasting characteristics, such as lack of steadfastness, and dishonesty. The oldest religion of Japan is Shintoism It is a system of ancestral and nature worship, which since its origin has degraded into the greatest immorality and licentious¬ ness. Although it is but an empty shell of ritualism, it still possesses a potent appeal for the masses The character of the priesthood is perilous and has drawn the severest criticism from the Japanese themselves. The Japanese race is very prolific The birth rate is very high, whereas the death rate is very low. This constantly calls for a program of expansion of population. The aged are treated with the greatest of respect and filial devotion is almost an obsession with every Japanese. The language is easy to understand in its entirety because of a national uniformity, and yet there are various dialects in the rural communities which make the work of the Japanese evangelist quite difficult The missionary outlook is very encouraging. There are today fifty-five mission societies at work on the Island, with one thousand two hundred workers on their stalls. The greatest problem of the worker is that of gaining the confidence of the native by trained native ministers. Medical missions and newspaper evangelism have proven to be the most successful methods of reaching the people. l{irtjneSiirij enjoying then ' tutfiomd dish, fermented tiro THE PHILIPPINE ISLANDS These islands are sometimes referred to as “The Land of the Palm and Pine. I hey appeal to the missionaries as a field of warm response to the Gospel. In the year 1900 missionaries began to settle in the islands, lire Rev, and Mrs 1. R. Rodgers of the Presbyterian church were the first permanent missionaries. Progress has been rapid since then, and at present there are over 100,000 professing Protestant Christians in the Islands. There are eleven large islands in the group and the total population is about eleven million people. There are four distinct divisions or classes in the population. 1. The Negritos are regarded as being the Aborigines of the islands. They are diminutive blacks and inhabit the interior, living in a semi savage state. 2. The Igor rotes are classed as the lowest ol the Philippine Islanders. I hey compose fierce tribes and live mainly in the mountainous regions. They still retain their primitive pagan religions. 3 The Moros or “Mohammedan Malays” live principally upon the island of Min- daneo, and hold fanatically to a degraded form of Moslem faith. 4. The Filipinos constitute nine tenths of the native population. They arc the highest type of islanders and have been more or less converted to the Roman Catholic Faith. The general characteristics of the people are seen in their slowness and laziness. With the beginning of evangelical mission work can be seen the accompanying rise of higher morals, keener intellect and a better social understanding. The present work is being carried on largely among the Filipino population; the “Mohammedan Moros” and pagan tribes have scarcely been touched. It is not enough to give these people liberty and education; in training them for ultimate self-government we must also bring them face to face with our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ that their spiritual eyes may be opened. THE EAST INDIES Christianity was introduced into the Archipelago in the seventeenth century by the minister of the Dutch East India Company. Missionaries from Holland rapidly came into the islands, and a great work was done. 1 he greatest problem that confronted the missionaries was the varied languages and dialects of this heterogeneous people. It has been estimated that over one hundred and fifty languages are spoken in Malaysia alone. Mohammedanism and Hinduism are the disturbing forces in the path of Christian evangelization, and this very fact makes the task all the more imperative Nowhere has the Gospel won more glorious triumphs or wrought more wonderful transformations than in the Island Worlds. Nowhere have spiritual victories cost more dearly—still the work is only partially done. The years that have passed since the ocean field was entered have increased, rather than diminished the missionary problem. The influence of trade and the evils of our modern civilization have penetrated deep into the social life of the natives. Nevertheless we have the examples of heroism exhibited by such soldiers of the Cross as John G. Paton, J, G. Chaimer, the Martyr to New Guinea, and John Patterson, impelling us to wage again that battle for which they so nobly gave their lives. Alroi ighuil Indians of Bolt t in LATIN AMERICA SOUTI1 AMERICA COU1 H America has been called ihe Neglected Continent; ' The truth of this O statement can he seen in the delay in carrying the Gospel to tins land of moral and spiritual darkness. Lack of concern for souls is the true reason for Christianity ' s nedi- genee, The first enduring evangelical mission to he planted in South America was in 1735 by the Moravian Brethren in Dutch Guiana. Regular missionary work in South America was, however, delayed. About 1818, James Thomson landed in Buenos Aires. He was ihe agent jointly of the British and Foreign Bible Society and of the English and Foreign School Society He travelled from Argentina to Mexico selling Bibles and forming schools, and everywhere was warmly received Over the whole continent there is evidence that at this lime there was real spiritual hunger. In 1844, the South American Missionary Society was organized by Captain Allen Gardiner, who perished of starvation in September, 1851, in Spanish Harbor, Ticrra del Fuego. The work so valiantly begun has been carried on from lime to time by others who have been faithful to Gods call, hut the progress has been slow. There are many causes for this, the First being the people themselves. Most of them have come under the influence of Catholicism, and therefore, have a queer idea of Christianity. Such stories as the following are told to them by the priests: Once while a preacher was preaching in Bclalcazar, the devil came and carried a young man away, right up through the ceiling When the evangelist preaches, his eyes bulge several inches out from their sockets, 1 le preaches naked, and the children have to kiss his feet ’ Another problem with which the missionaries have to cope is the language barrier There arc 17 000,000 dialect-speaking Indians with five hundred different languages for which there is no basic language. Spanish or Portuguese is spoken, generally, by the other peoples of South America The almost impenetrable forests present a very real problem to missionary activity, inasmuch as many Indian tribes occupy these regions. In addition to the hordes ol semi civilized Indians who have been partially evangelized, there are still unknown numbers of savage Indians who have yet to be reached by the first missionary. JT3 j r JP J I ft IJ Ml in rural „ MEXICO In Southwestern Colorado, a rivulet begins its journey to the Gull ol Mexico, and for eleven hundred miles separates a land of glorious freedom of worship from one of religious intolerance. Mexico, which has been a political battlefield of hatred and blood- shed, has an average of one Christian worker to twenty-eight thousand inhabitants. With the exception of two brief periods, Roman Catholicism alone was permitted until 1857, when freedom of worship was secured. Establishment and enlargement of denominational missions, begun in 1871, made rapid progress during the next decade, when the political situation was at comparative peace, hor the past fifty years, however, a number of forces have combined to retard missionary advancement Chid among these hindrances are continuous political disturbances, accusation ol Protestants as the instiga¬ tors of every national calamity or disruption, anti social isolation- due to the incredibly antagonistic opposition of Roman Catholic priests to the cause of Christianity. The Word of God has not been sown in vain; lor in accordance with Mis promise, it has prospered in the thing whereto He sent it (Isa, 55:11). Churches and educational institutions have been founded; medical, social, and temperance work, done; and some 10(1000 precious souls (about one-half of one per cent) have confessed Christ as their Saviour While the present attitude of the Government is, in general, against evangelistic endeavor, certain forms and fields of labor are still open. CENTRAL AMERICA Central America, lying between Mexico and South America, covers an area ol about 221,000 square miles; and has an approximate population of six million, two million of whom are Indians, This is one ol the most neglected fields in all the world. The work of evangelization was begun in 1834, by Rev. Alexander Henderson, and continued by his successor, Frederick Crowe, who carried the Word up and down the coast at the risk of his life. 1 he American Bible Society has labored in the l ive Republics for many years, and is now entirely in charge of the work. Eight of the eighteen languages of Central America possess some portion of Scripture, most of these being single Gospels. In only one of the languages has the whole New Testament been translated There is still much land to be possessed. What a challenge for soul-burdened Chris¬ tians. Will you help meet this need?

South America: Population—78,000,000; Missionaries—1,736 Work has merely begun among the nine to ten million of Indians. The central part of South America including parts of Brazil, Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, and Paraguay; and irregular territory some 2000 miles long and from 500 to 1500 miles wide include only two or three missionaries. Central America: Population—6,000,000. About 100 missionaries commute die present force.

ROBERT H. GLOVER O challenge that faces Christians today could possibly be stronger than Lhe challenge IN of the unfinished task of missions. That enterprise has always been a challenge to the Christian Church and individual, but certain considerations make it a louder, more insistent challenge today than ever before. Let us cite just a few of these: 1. A World-Wide Open Door. The earlier missionaries pleaded that closed fields might he opened and barriers overthrown. God has so completely answered such prayers that the whole world has been Hung wide open to the Gospel as never before. The more than half billion of the Yellow race, in China, Japan and Korea, have become altogether accessible. The vast, unknown heart of Africa has been opened up. Restric¬ tions against evangelical Christianity in LaliivAmerica have been swept away. British rule in India has brought her three hundred millions within reach. Drastic changes in the Near East, growing out o! the World War, have breached the stubborn wall ol Moslem resistance. The Island world has been penetrated, ami its various peoples con¬ tacted Even the walls of exclusion surrounding Tibet and Afghanistan, that have so long defied the slender but heroic missionary line of siege, are crumbling and falling. The whole world lies open to unrestricted missionary effort, 2. New and Better Facilities The Missionary pioneers ol a few decades ago reached their respective fields only after many months of exhausting travel attended by hardship and danger. Hut travel conditions the world over have been completely revolutionized. Great ocean vessels fast railroad trains, motor-cars and aeroplanes have contracted the globe, so to speak, making travel to and within every mission field vastly quicker, easier and safer. Also a host of new material facilities contribute to greater efficiency and accomplishment in missionary operations. All this again is a challenge to the Church of today to turn these new advantages to full account for Christ and His cause. 3. The Changed Attitude of Non-Christian Peoples . By God ' s mighty working, and largely through the lives and labors of His missionary servants, the old, bitter hatred and hostility on the part of the Eastern races have given way to friendliness and recep¬ tiveness. Open minds and hearts are everywhere to he found, and the patient and persevering sowing of Gospel-seed through the years is bringing an ever increasing spiritual harvest. Yet in all honesty it must he added that signs are not lacking which seem to indicate lliat missionary opportunity has reached its crest, and that the tide is beginning to ebb. New and formidable forces arc having to he reckoned with by missionaries. Among these arc: a rapid growth of intolerant nationalism; increasing complications between Eastern and Western Governments; a llood ol the imported vices of a Godless civiliza¬ tion; the shamefully immoral lives of non-Christian Westerners in Eastern lands; the alarming spread of Communist-inspired lawlessness; lhe displacement ol decadent idolatry and superstition by materialistic philosophies and the pernicious teachings and practices of Red Bolshevism. The re is dearly no time for delay. Other challenging factors might he mentioned it space permitted, but those already cited surely suffice for every thoughtful Christian. Let only this be added, that the missionary challenge in the last analysis is the personal challenge of festts Christ our Saviour. The missionary enterprise is His enterprise; the missionary commission and call arc His commission and call. Mark how they read: “All power is given unto me . . , . go ye , . , . and lo, am with you. . . ' Ye shall be my witnesses unto the uttermost part of the earth.” He is still saying from the glory, as to Isaiah of old. “Whom shall I send, and who will go lor us?” and is longing to hear again the response, “Here am Lord, send me,” He is still pressing the question, as l ie did to Peter, “Lovcst cams Stimson 1§atl THE FOUNDING OF THE NORTHWESTERN EVANGELICAL SEMINARY T HE Northwestern Bible and Missionary [ ' raining School anti the Northwestern Evangelical Seminary were not conceived and created as personal projects. Necessity is said to be the mother oi invention, and they were both born in answer to sore needs. As a member of the Minnesota Baptist State Convention Board I found myself often under the painful necessity of voting to sell a country church for which no pastor could be found,—its small membership, its weak financial condition accounting for this Board act. Having been brought up in a country church, 1 believed that that condition could be corrected and such sales stopped, and the Northwestern Bible and Missionary Training School was originated as a medium to that end. Her success is nationally known. She has provided leadership for these little churches, not for Minnesota alone, but lor many of the country and village and town churches of the United States and, in addition, has sent over one hundred to foreign fields. In 1935 the pastorless condition of Calvary Church, New York, the Los Angeles Temple Church, the Grace Temple, Philadelphia, the Trcmont Temple, Boston, and other large but less important pulpits, profoundly impressed me with the necessity of equipping men for these larger places, since in many an instance the Metropolitan institution was unwilling to take the modernist seminary output. With that objective in mind we celebrated the 33rd anniversary of the Northwestern Bible and Missionary Training School on Oct. 2nd, 1935, by the inauguration of the Northwestern Evangelical Seminary. Its curriculum is of high order, its Faculty scarcely surpassed, and its lirst year of existence—enrolling forty-five students—seems to he the proof ot Divine favor. We prophesy that a few years will suffice to put Northwestern Seminary graduates into the most prominent pulpits of America as surely as her Bible School has placed hundreds of them in the country, town, and city churches. Our purpose Is the highest possible education: and yet our determination is to graduate and confer degrees upon men who retain the fundamentals of the Christian Faith, and who will occupy pulpits, not to preach doubts but to declare the eternal verities of God’s Word. The appeals coming to us lor pastors have multiplied taster than even the growth of these institutions, and that fact, together with the adequate financial support of the Institutions in answer to prayer, seems to us sufficient evidence of the Divine pleasure in these institutions. Both of them are, and must forever remain Fundamental, Evan¬ gelical and Prcmillenariam FACULTY OF THE SEMINARY I-I. WAR KEN ALLEN, B.S., TH.B. A. F. BROMAN, B.S., TH.B.

Bible School, 36 AN APPRECIATION OF NORTHWESTERN EVANGELICAL SEMINARY T TOW one can adequately express in words his sincere appreciation of such a splendid insti tution as the Northwestern Evangelical Seminary, lately founded by Dr. W. B. Riley, is truly a problem. After having been out in active Christian service for over a period of ten years, and having by ex|x:rienee discovered the equipment which a pastor of this day really needs, in order that he may measure up to the growing demands of the average congregations in our churches, it was a real privilege to come to a Seminary that offers just the things my heart had desired. 1 find in the first place a real thrill in the friendship and fellowship of Christian students, some of whom have been former classmates in the Bible School. There is a marvelous oneness of purpose and of faith among the students, and it is a genuine satisfaction to he able to share it. ' 1 hen 1 also find a real delight in the challenge of being compelled to study lessons again. The modern pastor is so crowded with activities and pressing duties, which simply have to he taken care of, that many times the mind is dulled for lack of oppor¬ tunity ior real study. It is stimulating, to say the least, to again sit in the class room, to be called upon to recite lessons, and to master the subject so as to pass a satisfactory examination. 1 have found, after six months of this kind of study, that I am now able to get my lessons in one half the time it first took me; and what is true in seminary work is also true of my studies oil my field. It is moreover a genuine satisfaction to find a Seminary like that of the Northwestern Evangelical Seminary. This school, founded as a result of an increasing demand for just such an institution in this great Northwest, Is destined to become one of the most powerful and influential schools of its kind, in this country. In the first year of its inception it already has a larger enrollment than many Seminaries, which, though established lor years, arc witnessing a diminishing student body. It certainly will become an institution for more advanced study for the ever-enlarging graduating classes of the Northwestern Bible Training School. This Seminary, conceived in the mind and heart of Dr. W. Ik Riley, who, in the many years of his outstanding ministry has never been known to compromise with, or question, one single vital truth of the Scriptures, has the following splendid things to offer prospective students. 1. It oflcrs an atmosphere of high moral and ethical standards. No students arc allowed to smoke, drink, attend theatres, or participate in any other harmful amuse¬ ments. Every class must begin with prayer and a recognition of dependence upon Almighty God. 2. It offers a curriculum of the highest standards, not to be surpassed anywhere. Though I was a firm believer in the Bible as a revelation from God, before l came to the Seminary, 1 find that my faith has been greatly benefited by attendance upon such classes as Archeology, Christian Psychology, Christian Philosophy, and Biblical Intro¬ duction. It gives to one an increased confidence to know that Christianity is not only a superior religion, but that it is also a philosophy vastly superior to all other human philosophies, and the only philosophy that has an adequate explanation for all the phenomena wc witness in the world today. How it thrills one to realize anew that every discovery of the archeologists up to this very hour have tended only to confirm the historicity of the Scriptures and to testify to its truthfulness in this respect. To discover that the Bible presents also fundamental psychological data that may he arranged into a system which comports with the valid findings of empirical psychology, certainly makes a cogent appeal lo one ' s mind, and stirs deep gratitude in the soul. In the classes of religions education, conducting, and of the literary society, the practical and administrative side of the Christian s service is emphasized. I have been greatly profited thereby. 3, Then the school offers the exceptional privilege for students to be surrounded by a staff of teachers, all of whom are true servants of Christ, who recognize the one great Teacher of all, and who have shown a splendid spirit ol helpfulness and understanding of our problems. It is indeed a blessed experience to have this fellowship. And what shall I say more? Time would fail me to tell of the many opportunities to hear the outstanding preachers of the country, who from time to time visit the school; of the privilege of being closely associated with that great body ol students who attend the Northwestern Bible and Missionary Training School; of the increased vision oi the world’s need through the messages of many missionaries who are brought to us; and last but not least, the pleasure of many happy social events. [ am thankful for the vision that caused Dr. Riley to add this school to the list of his many achievements, and 1 believe with all my heart that the principles upon which this school is established and upon which it is being conducted, will merit more and more an increased enrollment, and will above all receive the richest blessings ol our adorable Lord, whose name the school will ever seek to glorify. AN EVALUATION Ol- THE SEMINARY COURSE OF STUDY In looking out upon a life in Christian Service, many a young person has asked, “Why should l spend several years in school when there is so much to he done and so little time in which to do it? ’ The days of preparation are trying; the future seems far away; the results of study are not immediately apparent; the constant and intense study seems to be a drudgery rather than a practical asset. It is necessary, therefore, to choose with care the school and course which will best equip one for his calling. The North¬ western Evangelical Seminary offers a number of highly efficient courses in training for ministerial, missionary, or religious educational service. Of Archeology, one seminary student says, tL lu days such as ours, when modernism is rampant on every hand, when ' critics ' by their insidious theories are attempting to uproot the laith of our childhood, this course in archeology will prove a boon. Though my faith has never wavered, and was therefore not re-established by this study, it has given me an extra supply of ammunition to fire at those blasphemers who [dace the Old Testament in the realm of mythology, thereby making God’s Word a lie.” “To me, the most interesting study is that of Greek. Many regard this course more as a mental discipline than as a practical and profitable study. It is surprising how the phraseology of the New Testament takes on an added and deepened meaning, as one acquires a knowledge of its original language.” “Burdened with theories and technical terms, the average Christian has become bewildered concerning the practical Christian life. As in all ages of the past so now in this practical age, the Bible has the paramount teaching; but because of befuddled minds and messages, many of the most simple truths are hidden. I rejoice in this class of Applied Christianity because it has revived the art of expository teaching and stimulated the use of simple Bible truths in application to the Christian’s life. Many other words of testimony could lx: given ot Northwestern ' s Seminary curriculum. Its courses of Biblical Introduction, Christian Philosophy, Christian Psychology, Biblical Analysis, Parliamentary Procedure, French, Sermonizing, Religious Education, and Conducting of Congregational singing are all inspiring and enlightening.

WOMEN STUDENTS The Theological Seminary is not primarily intended for women students, as we hold that the primary product of the seminary is the pastor, and find no women pastors mentioned in the New Testament; and it is not our purpose to prepare women for that particular office. But, we do recognize the fact that as missionaries, effective witnesses to the Truth as revealed in the Word, and particularly as the wives of pastor-husbands, such an education would contribute greatly, both to their pleasure and effectiveness in the Lord ' s service; so we admit them on equal terms to the Seminary course. We shall strive in electives to have them equip themselves in such a way as to best fill those life positions that are likely to fall to their lot.

A study of the ancestry of the English Bible from the ancient manuscripts and ver¬ sions to the American Standard Version and Modern translations, V. Christian Ethics. One hour a week for one ter in. Ethics is the study of man with reference to his character and conduct. Christian Ethics sets before him the most perfect ideal of character and the highest standard of conduct. This ideal and standard are urged as the proper accomplishment of life and the logical issue of the Christian faith. The triumph of the Gospel depends not alone on the witness of the Spirit, but also on the consistent ethical lives lived by its human representatives. This subject is thus seen to be an important part of a theological course. VI. Christian Philosophy, One hour a week for one term. his discipline deals with the religious nature of man and considers how he came by his religion. It endeavors also to furnish a true standard by which the ethnic faiths may be judged and the supreme value of Christianity may be estimated.

IL We believe in one Cod, eternally existing in three persons, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. III, We believe that Jesus Christ was begotten by the Holy Spirit, and bom of the Virgin Mary, and is true Cod and true man. IV, We believe that man was created in the Image of God, that he sinned and thereby incurred not only physical death but also that spiritual death which is separation from Cod; and that all human beings arc bom with a sinful nature, and, in the ease ol those who reach moral responsibility, become sinners in thought, word and deed. Y. We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures as a representative and substitutionary sacrifice; and that all that believe in Him are justified on the ground of His shed blood. VL We believe in the resurrection of the crucified body of our Lord, in His ascension into heaven, and in His present life there for us, as High Priest and Advocate, VII. We believe in “that blessed hope,” the personal, premil lennial and imminent return of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. VIII. Wc believe that all who receive by faith the Lord Jesus Christ are born again oi the Holy Spirit and thereby become children of God. IX. We believe in the bodily resurrection of the just and the unjust, the everlasting felicity of the saved and the everlasting conscious punishment of the lost. S8 WHY GO TO BIBLE SCHOOL? Many young people, as well as their parents, ask the above question. In the minds of those who have had years of experience in Bible Schools, the reason is plain. I here is an appalling ignorance of tire Scriptures among church members to-day Without a knowledge of the Word of God, young people cannot resist the power of evil, 1 he Word is a shield, a light, a refuge, a strong tower. Go to Bible School to prepare for life. From students and graduates we have received various answers: “I wanted to lx: a soul-winner; therefore, 1 came to Bible school. My parents were afraid to send me to the university without a firm foundation in the Word of God.” “The Lord gave me a keen desire to understand His Word. 1 needed to study it, so l chose to go to Bible School ’ “Foreign missions is to be my field of service. Northwestern is giving me the training [ need.” “The fellowship of Christian young people in a Bible School appealed to me ' I was tired when T came from Africa on furlough. Studying the Bible at North¬ western lias given me a fresh grip and a stronger vision.” “As a pastor, 1 needed new inspiration to study the Word. The classes at North¬ western supplied this.” The church needs trained men and women who can “rightly divide the Word of truth.” We supply this training. PURPOSE OF THE SCHOOL The objective of the Northwestern Bible and Missionary Training School is to tram men and women in the thorough knowledge and effective practical use of the English Bible. Specific preparation is given to those who wish to equip themselves for a definite branch of Christian service. Not only heart preparation, but training in cooperation, loyalty, and leadership is provided. Graduates of the school serve as pastors, pastor ' s assistants, evangelists, home and foreign missionaries, Sunday school workers, young people’s leaders, church secretaries, and daily vacation Bible school workers. HISTORY OF THE SCHOOL God’s marvelous grace has been evidenced in the progress of Northwestern. A church that is increasing in spiritual knowledge and practice will always feci the need of Christian training for her young people. To satisfy this desire and to give young men and women a better knowledge of the Bible, Dr. Riley launched out on a new enterprise in 1902. With seven students, eager to study the Word of God, the North¬ western Bible School began. Though the beginning was small, yet the faith, trust, and enthusiasm of the leaders reaped their fruits in the abundant realization of their hopes. The study of the Bible was fundamental from the start. From the beginning, tile verba!, complete inspiration of the Scriptures was taught, and those who organized this school enjoyed with other earnest Bible students the faith of the imminent return of the Lord, Interdenominational in character, aggressive in spirit, sound in doctrine, our school has kept true to the faith. Originally classes were held in the First Baptist Church, out of whose doors went our first graduate to missionary work in Burma. In October, 1904, articles of incorporation were approved; and in November of that same year, the school began circulating “The Bible Student and Teacher,” a monthly magazine published in New York and issued simultaneously here—a worthy forerunner of “The Pilot,” the thirty-two page periodical published by our school lo-dav. 89 ALUMNI IN VARIOUS FIELDS We arc often asked what our graduates are doing- The Northwestern Bible and Missionary Training School ' s objective, in training men and women lor effectual practical use in Christian service, is definitely realized when we consider the following vital statistics. These will conjure in your mind happy pictures of busy servants of the Lord. Since 1904 Northwestern has graduated hundreds of students. Taking cognizance of their present activities is to marvel at what God hath wrought. A general survey made from our files shows that about one-third of our graduates are successful pastors, many are evangelists, about one-sixth arc foreign missionaries, and of the remaining, many are teachers, exerting a wide influence, some are secretaries to pastors or in Christian institutions, others are nurses, welfare workers, and religious education directors The foregoing are rendering an effective service leaving an indelible mark upon Christian progress. LOCATION AND ADVANTAGES The buildings are exceptionally well located from several points of view. The school itself is in the heart of Minneapolis—just five short blocks from the center of the business district. The Public Library is adjacent, affording ready access to any research work desired. Three minutes away are the Y. M. C. A. and the Y. W. C. A. which, at small cost, afford opportunity for abundance of recreation and exercise One of the city ' s most beautiful spots is Loring Park, at the very doors of our dormitories on Harmon Place, forming a convenient campus Northwestern is also ideally situated to enable students to train lor all phases of Christian work. Churches, Sunday-schools, hospitals, successful missions and settlement houses offer unusual openings for practical experience in many branches of Christian service. Few cities in the land present so great an opportunity for spiritual, educational, and recreational advantages.

These must all be indelibly marked with the name of the student for the purpose of identification. Bed linen must be for single beds. EMPLOYMENT AND FINANCIAL AID It is always advisable for the student to have sufficient funds to carry him through the first semester without having to work. Outside work requires time and energy that one owes to his studies However, for those who must earn their own way through school, the Lord has opened many fields of employment. Many of the girls arc employed in private homes for room, hoard and carfare. Cafes oiler an opportunity to work for meals. Others with experience and ability are engaged in office work and clerking in stores. Those with training find employment as nurses. A more varied hut limited field is open to the young men. The majority find work for meals in cafes and cafeterias; some clerk in stores; the Gospel missions offer employ¬ ment to a few; some in their senior year have opportunity to serve as pastors and pastor ' s assistants; those with musical ability may find a choir or orchestra to direct. Our young men are engaged in architectural drawing, mimeographing, painting, and laundry work, as switch hoard and elevator operators, bookkeepers, book binders, porters, and janitors, A few private homes are open to the young men lor employment. Students with excep¬ tional artistic ability are employed on The Scroll, and in making posters and signs. It is usually possible for the student to find suitable work for two or three hours a day, but no guarantee is given in advance. The employment in private homes may be secured through the Dean of Women for those who are physically strong, neat in ap¬ pearance, and pleasing in personality. Students must have sufficient funds to pay the registration fee in advance and should have enough money to carry them through the first semester without outside employment. THE’, DORMITORIES SCHOLARSHIPS MAUSER MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIP The income from a fund of 5500, given by the family of Henry Hauser, a former trustee of the school. This is awarded to the junior who lias the highest grades m all su bjects, ALUMNI MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIP A gift of $50 awarded by the Alumni Association to a Junior, who, in addition to high grades, manifests a truly Christian character. PILOT SCHOLARSHIP Any student or prospective student who secures 30(1 subscriptions to The Pilot, will be given Ins registration and board and room in the dormitory for one semester. The student who secures 50 subscriptions will be given his registration lor the entire year. Any one interested should write to the Deans of the school. GIFTS Each graduating class presents the school with a large picture of the class. These are hung in Room 118 and arc a source of much interest to students and visitors. Many oi the graduating classes have left memorials to the school. Two of the Library tables were given by the classes of 192-1 and 1934. The class of 34 also donated two large dictionaries and $60.00 with which to purchase books for the library. The class of ' 32 gave $100.00 to The Pilot for current expenses. The class of ' 33 presented the beautiful Missionary Roll Call, which hangs in the main hall. In 35, §140.00 was put into a fund for lock boxes for the post office. 92 MISSION BAND As an organization, the Foreign Mission Band is a definite expression of the great missionary purpose of the Northwestern Bible and Missionary Training School. This group firmly believes that everyone in the world has a right to hear the f jos pel once before anyone hears it twice. It is the duty and privilege of every born-again child of God to “Go into all the world and preach the Gospel to every creature ’ whether it means for that one to go across the room or across the ocean. The purpose of the Mission Band is three fold; to arouse zealous interest in missionary work on the pari of the student body; to secure volunteers for the field; and to raise funds lor the students already on the held. Every Friday morning the Mission Band meets in Jackson Hall lor a time of fellow¬ ship and prayer. Special speakers from every land in the world present their cause. Each morning at 7:15, groups of students gather for prayer for various countries. These early morning prayer groups have been a source of real power lor those on the fields and for those waiting to go. FELLOWSHIP Friday night is “Fellowship Night” at Northwestern. At this time students meet for an hour of prayer, praise, and feeding on the Word, conducted entirely by the students. Many a discouraged student has caught a new vision of Christ ' s reality from some inspiring testimony given by a brother or sister in Christ. H is a time when new friends are made and all are drawn close together. CHAPEL At 9:15 every day the students and faculty assemble in Jackson Hall lor twenty minutes of spiritual edification and encouragement. The programs are varied—bringing speakers from all over the world. Inspirational messages are also given by members of the faculty and visiting alumni. One hour a week is devoted to a musical program given by the students. SOCIAL LIFE Northwestern believes in a well-balanced life in which recreation has a part. The Forum provides for two “get togethers” of the entire student body. A picnic at one of the many beautiful parks is held in the fall as a reception to the freshmen. In the spring, about a week before commencement, school is closed lor a day, and the entire student body and the faculty go to the Medicine Lake Conference grounds ior a day of recreation, boating, ball games, hikes, and a fellowship hour in the evening in the chapel. The Pilot Staff, and each class have individual parties and early morning breakfasts; tlie Senior Class has a “Skip Day” in the spring, when they take a mysterious trip to an unannouneed destination. A few weeks before commencement, the underclassmen arrange a banquet in honor of the Seniors. The Scroll makes its appearance here, and an elaborate program is pro¬ vided. This banquet is attended by the entire student body of the three schools, and the faculty, hoard ol directors and friends. ALUMNI HOMECOMING Until 1935 the Alumni returned for Homecoming in the fall. In that year it was decided to honor Dr. W. B. Riley, the founder and president of Northwestern, by holding Homecoming during the week ol his birthday, March 22. A week of fellowship and Bible study, a banquet, and public meetings in the evenings, proved to lie a great success and will be continued each year. 93 MEDICAL CARE Each student, upon payment of his registration fee, is entitled to the care of a reputable physician chosen by the school. Since the portion of the fee allotted to this service is small, it justifies the doctors consultation only in cases of serious illness or accident. For the same reason this charge cannot be made to cover the cost of hospital service, X-ravs or medicine Should a student be in need of eye-glasses he will find that this same fee provides lor a tree examination and prescription by one of the city’s leading optometrists. Provision is also made for the filling oi such prescription at reduced prices. U ' hile this cannot he made to include the care of the teeth, arrangements have been made for ihe denial care of the students at low rates. STUDENT EVANGELISM 1 he fruit ol the righteous is a tree of life and he that winneth souls is wise” (Prov. 1 he Practical Work Department of our school is based upon this and other like Scriptures, each ol which point out the responsibility of the child of God to spread the story of Jesus and His love Realizing the genuine need for such work, and the important part it plays in the students preparation for his life’s activities, the school gives each student those opportunities of Christian work as to best fit him for future service. Groups of students conduct services every day in several of the rescue missions in the “Gateway” district. The doors of the Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. have recently been opened to the students, thus olTering new avenues of service. I hose interested in children’s work find that their talents can be used in children’s missions, hoys’ dubs, girls ' dubs, settlement houses, and Sunday school classes. I he Chinese, Italian, Negro and Mexican centers in our city are open to ihosc who are interested in the evangelization of the foreign element. Senior men preach in various churches in Minneapolis and vicinity. Groups of young men go out as gospel teams during the vacation seasons to sing and preach the Gospel During the summer months an intensive Daily Vacation Bible School program is carried on. Last year, schools were conducted in ten states and Canada by two hundred and eighty-seven students who volunteered their time for the spreading of the Gospel m this manner. Nine thousand one hundred and thirty-one children were taught in the schools, and two thousand five hundred and twenty-one homes were touched in house- to-house visitation. In conjunction with the Bible school for children, three hundred and five evangelistic services were held in an effort to reach the adults.

I he student is allowed fifty cents for each new one-year subscription and $2.00 for a club of five Churches or other groups can easily secure fifty to sixty subscriptions, thus helping a student pay his fees for one year. 1 he management gladly lumishes sample copies. THE SCROLL The Scroll, the year book published by the Senior Class, is a beautiful and interesting volume. It contains many cuts of the buildings, faculty, and students, and brief Bible studies by members of the faculty. The life of the school is depicted in various sketches and articles by the Seniors At die annual banquet he Scroll makes its initial appearance and is enthusiastically received by the students, graduates, faculty, and friends ol the school.

A MOMENT OF RELAXATION (DORMITORIES) COURSES OFFERED THE BIBLE COURSE is primarily for those who feel called to the ministry, or for those who want a thorough working knowledge of the Bible. THE MISSIONARY COURSE is lor those who feel led of God to offer themselves ior home or foreign missionary service. This course includes a term of Medical Lectures. THE SECRETARIAL COURSE is arranged for those who are preparing to he pastors ' assistants and secretaries. College graduates may finish 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, may find it advisable to take four years to complete the course. ONE-YEAR COURSE The first year of every course is the same, and is so arranged that the student who wishes to take but one year receives an intensive preparation in the study of the Bible and related subjects. Should a one-year student decide to continue, he can do so without loss of time or credits.

It has exactly suited the need.
