THE POLY uunnununuuunum nnnunnnunununn THE POLYTECHNIC CHURCH. The religious instinct, usually dormant until later youth, has a significant influence upon the life- of a student, when healthfully stimulated and thoughtfully maintained. Some of the noblest im- pulses of the human soul are engendered by relig- ious inspiration. Just a week after the Polytechnic had estab- lished itself in its permanent home, ten years ago, five boys met in Mr. L. T. Eaton's private office to consider how they might make their lives count most ior good among their fellow students. A few days later ten boys met with Mr. Eaton and pledged to use their influence toward helping cther bo is to take a definite stand as Christian students. The movement spread among the girls and within a week over forty boys and girls were asking for church organization. Rev. G. J. Powell, being called upon for advice, in- formed the boys that Dr. Hubert Herring, then the General Secretary of all the Congregational Churches in America, would be in Billings on March 14, and that he would gladly help them to organize MR' MCCARROLL a student church at the Polytechnic. Thus the Polytechnic Church came into being. Cin March 14, 1910, fifty-two stu- dents and teachers joined the organization. The church life in the Polytechnic has been maintained. In February, 1916, Rev. Waltel' H- North of thi? BilliHgS C0HgF9ga'Ci0I18l Church, was asked to assume the relation of pastor 'Co the Polytechnic Church, which position he held with increasing success until war duties called him overseas last year. This year Rev. Mr. Hugh McCarroll has directed the work of the church and his endeavors to keep the spiritual standard ever higher have been earnest. Services have been conducted every Sunday throughout the year, with such able co-operation on the part of the city pastors as Rev. Ritz, McCormick, Anshutz, Burr, Cameron, Powell and Dr. North, who has been a very welcome occasional visitor. Systematic studies of the Bible have been held one period per week in each English class and much benefit has been derived from the course. Rev. McCarroll has also taught classes in political economy, sociology and ethics, which lend themselves, under skillful handling, to fortunate correlation with spiritual work. Twice during each year, once at the beginning of the fall term, on a Sabbath when the weather is favorable and once again, during commencement week, students and fac- ulty participate in what is perhaps the most impressive and inspirational of all religious services-the Rimrock Vespers. At first, assembly is held in the chapel auditorium, where Mr. L. T. Eaton explains the traditional significance of the service, and two hymns are selected. Then the proces- sion wends its way toward the Rims. After the first bridge is crossed absolute silence prevails, until, grouped in the chosen spot among the rocks, whither they have been led by Mr. L. T. Eaton and the bugler, the first hymn is reverently sung. A few words of prayer and praise by the pastor are followed by the second hymn, then silently the company descends to the bridge and conversation is again resumed. The beauty and uplifting influence of this service must be experienced to be appreci- ated, and doubtless many who felt the power of those holy moments are bound again to God-true religion. - in ,.- - Q wil . 4- '2 HA - - ' '01 In gb!
