CANDLELIGHT SERVICE In the rapidly changing world of today there is a certain se¬ curity in being a part of a tra¬ dition which remains unchanged through the years. Perhaps this accounts in part for the feelings of zest, communion, and fel¬ lowship in the observance at S.T.C. of the Twenty-first Can¬ dlelight Service. As the stu¬ dents solemnly and silently filed into the Social Room to light their candles from the large one, they were conscious of the true significance and meaning of Christmas. As they sat upon the floor, sang carols, and lis¬ tened to the first Christmas story, everyone felt and ex¬ pressed genuine humility. Un¬ selfishness and generosity were expressed in the gifts piled un¬ der the tree; these gifts were later given to the welfare as¬ sociation for distribution to un¬ derprivileged children. The in¬ spiration, enthusiasm, humility, generosity, and unselfishness which pervade this service will continue to glow in the hearts of all who have been connected with the college.

Intellectual Development A teacher affects eternity; he can never tell where his influence stops. Not only must there he the implicit desire to teach, to develop character, and to instruct in a particular subject, but it is paramount that one must have the ability to grasp the changes in the surrounding world and ever strive to make a gainful presen¬ tation to the learner. The test of prog¬ ress is not whether the teacher adds more to the abundance of those who have much, it is whether he provides enough for those ivho have little.
