CONSECRATION Lord, my greatest is so little, And my most is yet so small When I measure it with Jesus There is nothing left at all. And I hesitate to answer When I hear Thee call. Can the Lord who owns the cattle On a thousand fertile hills He who speaks in voice commanding, And the angry water stills, Can the Lord who died for sinners On the Cross of Calvary Use me, even in my weakness? Yes, for He demands of me Perfect strength, and then He gives it In His all-sulficieney. Take my greatest, Lord, ' tis nothing, And my strongest, for ' tis less, Thou canst use the little, Father, And the humble offering bless, And I ' ll serve Thee, Lord, forever And Thy name confess. —BARBARA E, CORNET

F O R E W O R Believing that our theme of Consecration could best be portrayed by the figures of the Potter and the Clay, we have used these Scriptural symbols in our 1937 Scroll. We recognize God as the great Master Potter, using our School as a workshop and our Faculty as tools to mold the lives of the students, even as the potter molds the clay. As in the kiln the vessels are tested and made serviceable by fire, so the Christian undergoes trial by fire in his daily walk. When we see our blessed Lord at His coming, “we shall be like Him : therefore the completed vessel is perfect, “without spot or blemish. “But now, O Lord, thou art our Father; we are the clay, and thou our potter; and we all are the work of thy hand. Have Thine own way, Lord] Have Thine own way! Thou are the Potter; I am the clay. Mold me and make me after Thy will, While I am waiting, yielded and still.
