use . will ll The THEOLOGUE n use wan Message to Faculty Robert Teachout 1 There are thoughts and emotions in the human mind and heart which no tongue or pen has found the art to utter or express. Words are only as the foam that dances on the surface of a deep, heaving sea of un fathomed feeling that lies beneath, and we know that these bubbles can give but scant evidence of the ocean that bears them on its crest. Would that we might bring to you, our teachers, the ocean of love and apprecia tion which wells up in our hearts at the thought of you who have meant so much to us. However, we must use the instruments furnished for us Thus, words, be they ever so impotent must be our means of expression. Traveling back over the three short years that have been ours to en joy in dear old P. B. T. S., we remember the first time we gathered as Freshmen in the front lecture hall and took our places to begin a work the end of which, only eternity can reveal. What seemingly hopeless pros pects these, for service for the Lord of Lords! From homes near and fai they gathered, from schools, hayfields, lumber camps, machine shops, and factories came this motley assemblage of students, chosen like the dis ciples of old, to wind up their fish nets, to forsake all and follow Him. The Christ who worked miracles in the hearts of those rough, hardy workmen of old, still works miracles in the hearts and lives of men today, and it is yet our privilege to be co-laborers with the Son of God. Thus He has used you, as no other human instruments, to render us more fit for His noble calling. Under the direction of the Master, your fingers have chiselled the amorphous mass until some of the beauty of His purpose is at last making itself manifest. Your sacrifice and toil and years and tears and prayers have begun their miracle. Members of the faculty, we realize our debt to you, but there is not enough with which to pay it on this side of the Veil. Only He who shall reveal the fruit of your labors may recompense unto the full value and worth. But by the Grace of God we may help to make the labor and sacri tice of fuller, richer, higher worth, by exercising to the utmost the noble principles and truths which you have been instrumental in instilling into our very beings. What we are as true servants of Jesus Christ, under the Grace of Him who has called us, we owe in surpassing balance to you With our hearts we thank you, and praise Him for the beneficent and helpful touch of such lives as yours upon our own to the glory of Christ We hope and trust that we may ever prove an honor to you who have been so faithful in upholding the Blood-stained Banner of the Cross before our faces. Our prayer is that God's richest blessings shall attend you, and that the coming years may prove you as great a blessing to other lives as He has made you in our own. May we be true Crowns of Rejoicing for you, at the great ingathering of the redemmed. For God will recompense He says, I know thy works and thy toil and thy patience. Then know ye that your labor is not in vain in the Lord. Page Nineteen

L Jas wsu 'The THEOLOGUE Il was war Cur Class Teacher MISS HAZEL L. VIBBARD, B. S. Teacher-Counselor-Companion The potter takes a lump of clay, Works upon it, brings certain instru- ments to bear upon it, and the result is some beautiful and useful vessel. Human lives are as lumps of clay, just as the potter needs different instru- ments that he may bring out the perfectness and beauty of his best vessels, so does our heavenly Father use many lives as such, that He may bring out of each individual life the purity and loveliness that He desires there. One instrument in the hand of the Great Potter has been our Class Teacher, Miss Hazel L. Vibbard, Who has been our constant companion and advisor these past two years. Her prayers, her thoughts, and her atten- tions have been unselfishly working that we might be vessels fitted for the Master's use. We feel that we owe much to you, our class teacher, and though- space may separate each of us from the other, and perhaps all of us from you, We shall never forget what you have meant to us. We trust that the Mas- ter Potter will have been pleased with the result of our working together these pleasant years. Throughout the remaining time granted unto us here on earth, We Want that our prayers and our thoughts shall be bound each to each by the guidance of His great love. As we part for other tasks, and as We go forth to gain new companions, let us part with the promise of God, Who hath also sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts. To Him be the praise and the glory for the joys and all happiness of the past years together-and in Him the hope of certain reunion when we shall be like Him. Page Twenty-one
