RELIGIOUS LIFE AT S.P.C. HROUCH the many years of splendid achievement in the life of our college, religion has had an important part to play. It has been the desire ol faculty and Christian students to make the Christian life so natural and winsome that all who come to the college will want to live it. The presence of the Christ is dehnitely felt in all ol our campus life. Many classes open with prayer. The most popular, best attended service of the entire week, is the Student Vesper Service each Wednesday evening. The leaders of the student body, the majority of the class officers, and all of our teachers testify to the fact of God in their lives. Family prayers in the dining room, prayer groups in both dormitories and the godly living of our dormitory deans have combined to make the living of the Christian life at Seattle Pacino natural and enjoyable. Our A Capella Choir is recognized for its program of classically beautiful sacred music. Our two male quartettes are best known for their interpretation ol the great songs of the Church. Under the capable leadership of Professor Warren, our radio program, The Fellowship Hour, has reached a new high point of interest and consistently has held its place as the outstanding religious broadcast of the entire Northwest. Its listeners number into the thousands and it gives the college an enviable channel through which the highest type of advertising may be done. Above all else, as we look back upon the school year, we End ourselves deeply grateful for the presenceiof th Christ in our midst. We have met Him in the classroom. We have sensed His presence and His approval in our recreational life. We have welcomed Him into chapel service and vesper hour.
