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 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.
