THE TRUMPET 31 THE LONG ROAD Our school life may be likened to a long road. It may be a winding road with many little ones leading from it, or it may be a straight one. When we first begin our school work, it is difficult to look far ahead. The road appears to be far off and very hazy. For a time, the road may be smooth and pleasant, prob- ably leading through a woods where iiowers are growing all along the way. Let us call this the pleasant part of our school life. But it does not all lead through the woods. We are led from the cool and shady forest up a hill. We find the climbing difficult. Let us make up our minds at once to climb straight to the top, for seldom is there a path leading around the hill. At times we are tempted to go off unto the little roads. Perhaps we neglect our studies for a time, thinking we can make them up. How hard it is to get back on the main road! It is like losing a step and going back to find it. How fortunate are those who are able to see the goal in the distance, follow it, and finally reach it! They are happy they have climbed the hills and followed the long road. D. M. J., '20.

Whereas it has pleased our Heavenly Father in His in- finite wisdom to take from our midst the mother of our stu- dent, Harold Anderson, and Whereas we know that all things work for good to them that love God, and to those who are called according to His purpose,

THE TRUMPET 33 A gift of 8675.00 was left by the class of 1920-the above amount to be added to the Library fund. On Sunday evening, May 9th, the Choral Union of our school journeyed to Winchester in order to render the Cantata, Christ the Victoriousf, in the beautiful, spacious church at that place. The trip was a splendid success. The good people of Winchester in their accustomed spirit of hospitality had done everything possible to make our stay with them both pleasant and proitable. The result of the trip was about 3100.00 for our Building Fund. We are glad to report to our many readers, that actual work has commenced in rebuilding our school. The contract for the Work is awarded Beck Engineering and Construction Co. of Minneapolis. Quite a few men have been at work the past week hauling away the debris preparatory to actual con- struction work. The superintendent of the building operations, Mr. Connor, has been on the job for a Week pushing the work with remarkable energy. There is but little doubt, if any, but that the Administration Building will be completed by the opening of next school year, provided that the necessary ma- terial is forthcoming in due time. . The Rev. S. L. Thompson of Nelsonville has been engaged as one of the solicitors for our school. He is also pushing his part of the job. The first week's solicitation in Mt. Morris congregation, Wautoma, Rev. Bakken's call netted him a little better than 85,500 We sincerely trust that all of our solicitors will meet with equal success. The Reverends C. S. B. Hoel, Minneapolis, H. B. Thorgrimson, Grand Forks, and E. 0. Vik, La Crosse, have also promised to devote part of the summer in behalf of our Building Fund. At the last meeting of the Board of Trustees the follow- ing resolution was adopted: Resolved, that we build an Ad- ministration Building this summer. The building is not to ex- ceed S85,000.00. A Dormitory to cost 840,000.00 is to be built when the Administration Building is paid for, and 80 per cent of said sum be subscribed. If more than 840,000.00 be raised for said Dormitory, a larger building may be erected.
