The Cascade EVANGELISTIC BAND T HE Evangelistic Band is the group in the school including all those Christian students who desire to work for Christ. They feel that Christ calls each of them as Christians to work for Him and are glad to respond to that call. The Band was organized at the beginning of the year with Miriam Warren as president. Under her able leadership the Band has conducted a few of the chapel services at the College Church, and services in other churches in this city and in other cities. The students belonging to the Band have received spiritual strength, have been inspired by working for the Master, and have been blessed by messages brought to them in song and in sermon. Training in Christian leadership is recognized as very essential to a young person. Those who work in the Evangelistic Band receive much valuable experience. Page Thirty-three

The Cascade MINISTERIAL ASSOCIATION Allan Westcott . President Ray Bishop . Vice-President Russell Bisnett . Secretary-Treasurer Burton Root . Reporter I T has been said, “What you are to be, today you are becoming.” The students in Seattle Pacific College who are looking forward to work in the Master’s vineyard as preachers of the Gospel, have acted upon this principle this year as in the past. When a desire to serve is evident, many opportunities are presented. Regularly the Ministerial Association has had charge of the Saturday evening services at the Olive Branch Mission. Then, in connection with the Evangelistic Band, members of the Association have helped in many churches of various denominations both in Seattle and nearby points. In all these services the members have been made to realise that in order really to aid others they must know the Word and have their lives hid in Christ. This year has been a year of deepening Christian experience for the Association as well as one of great activity. Page Thirty-two

The Cascade MUSIC DEPARTMENT Mr. Wright has graduated from the Music Department He will give his recital Tuesday, June 5, 1928. Paul Wright T his is an age when music study is considered an Important part of one’s education. Even in Greek education, in addition to the essentials, it was recognized as a fundamental need of humanity. Men in all walks of life have glorified music: Moses, David, Plato, Luther, Shakespeare, Gladstone, Carnegie, Lloyd ' George, and hosts of others. It is equally appropriate amidst splendor and magnificence and amid the lowliest surroundings. Music, like literature and art, awakens, stimulates, and develops an appreciation of beauty. Somehow it opens the windows of the soul, softens the whole being, speaks directly to the heart, and is a form of experience where words are inadequate. It charms the lowest as well as the highest in the scale of humanity. One who disregards music as an important study is missing the great inspiration and solace that have been bestowed upon mankind. Many of the young men and women attending Seattle Pacific College are making music study a part of their education. The courses as outlined in the Music Department make possible the opportunity for specialization. Those not desiring to make music a specialty find the study a means of “training the memory, quickening the perception, stimulating the imagination, and encouraging con ' centration.” They will have an accomplishment that will be of untold personal advantage, interest, and pleasure, which will follow through life. In the musical field there is a demand for the musician whose education has been thorough. Seattle Pacific College has a Music Department of exceeding high standard where thorough training is one of the outstanding features. Every person ought to participate in good music the same as in good literature. Because of this, Seattle Pacific College makes music a vital part of its educational program. Page Thirty-Jour
