Our Pastor Class of 1938: .Most men ' s lives are fragmentary and jerky. By accidents, circumstances, and a changing- age, they are tossed about on the sea of life. Their ship has no one at the helm. But how different it is when Christ is our Pilot. From God ' s Word we read: Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on Thee, because he trusted in Thee. What an encouraging promise for your tomorrows if you will but trust Him and keep your mind on Him. He will keep you in the trying hours, and guide you safely through life ' s storms. A faithful heart and a steadfast mind means a life filled with deepest peace, a peace which can spring only from the presence of God ! Conflict, trouble, and sorrow may come, but never forget that the same Christ who brought peace to you in student days will keep you to the end of life. As ever, Your college pastor, R. W. HerTENstkix. Field Representative Much of the success of Olivet College depends upon the support of the people back home. To tell our parents and friends what Olivet College is do- ing is primarily the task of the field representative. He spends his days and nights driving from one Nazarene Church to another, putting the work of the school before the people, soliciting financial support, and interviewing prospective students. To Rev. J. F. Leist was given this important task last fall, and his success in this new capacity is his own commendation. Flis educational standing, his 44 flkfl experience in the ministry, his enthusiasm for Olivet College, and his faithfulness at the task have en- abled him to. do a noble piece of work out on the field. Let every Nazarene on this educational zone double his efforts this coming vear to make Olivet College a bigger and a better school. I ' utic Nineteen

Spi ritual Tide AT GORDON ' S TOMB OF JESUS, JERUSALEM Gaddis-Moser Evangelistic Party Education with a Christian purpose is the motto of Olivet College. To build sturdy Christian character, and to send forth devoted and spirit-filled young- people to live lives of service pleasing to God is her highest goal. To accomplish this aim, a great emphasis is placed each year upon regular religious services and special revival efforts. This year has witnessed two good revivals in the school and community. Last fall, the Gaddis-Moser Evangelistic party, who have their home here, were the special workers. Their many excellent instrumental numbers and special sacred songs were greatly appreciated, and the stirring messages of Rev. Gaddis were a blessing to all. Special features of their ministry were a dramatization of the twenty-third psalm and a presentation of a world pageant. At the close of the meeting these fine workers very graciously gave the sum of six hundred dollars toward the building of our new gymnasium. For the mid-winter revival. Dr. T. ' W. Willing-ham, president of the school, was the evangelist. Although he has held several revivals here since he became 1 (resident, the one this year was distinctly blessed of the Lord. After weeks of earnest praying, two weeks of special revival effort were entered upon. Many found definite victory in this meeting, and all of our hearts were made to burn within us by the spirit-filled messages by Dr. Willingham, on suffering and divine love. The spiritual tide lias been gradually rising throughout the year and will doubtless reach its peak with the coming of the annual Camp Meeting and Com- mencement in June, when once more Olivet ' s students will go out to embody her hi li ideals ol love and service.
