We, the builders, have carefully inspected each plank, have examined every holt, shaped every timber and seasoned every rib. We planned a sym- metrical form ami have watched it develope with much pride. The straightest spar that we could find was none too good a mast. We employed the best rigger of which the land could boast. The sails were cut in the neatest man- ner, and now we launch ■•The Gem with the assurance of a master boat- builder. We stand waiting for the breeze of popular favor to till its sails: we gather up our tools ami turn the craft over to you — its owners. — The Editors. TERM EXPIRES 1909 C. B. STEMF.N, M. D., I.L. D.

In L849 the Rev. H. C. Nutt presided, but Mr. Huestis, on returning, filled the chair until 1852, being succeeded by S. T. Gillete. who held the office for a few months. During the years 1852-55 the cause was championed by the Rev. S. Brenton, M. I)., who was followed by the Rev. R. D. Robinson, D. D., President from 1855-72. Then the Rev. W. L. Yocum succeeded from 1875-8S, and from 1888-90 the Rev. H. M. Herrick guided her. After the union with the Ft. Wayne Collegiate Institute, in 1852, the institution was made co-edu- cational. In 1890 she was honored with the name of Bishop Taylor, and Rev. C. B. Stemen, M. D.. was elected President. He was followed by the Rev. T. C. Reade. I). D.. L.

Dr. Reade dying July 25, 1902, the office of President was vacant for nearly a year and a half, but its responsibilities were borne faithfully by Vice-President John H. Shilling, Ph. D.. fol- lowed by Dean B. W. Avers, Ph. D., until Jan. 13. 1904, when the Rev. Chas. W. Winchester, D. D.. of Buffalo. N. Y.. came to the chair, having been elected Nov. 5. 1903. When Dr. Winchester re- signed his position the Rev. Dr. Archibald was chosen her Acting President, who remained such for a few months, until the now Dr. Monroe Yavhinger was elected to the chair in 1908. Under his steady hand the clouds are passing away and beams of the sun are shining, which are the earnest of the glo- rious noon-day prosperity of the near future. Fueim KEY. MONROE VAYHINGEK, D. D. Monroe Vayhinger was born of German parent- age, his father and mother coming from Wurtem- berg, ( iermany. He received his A. I ' .. and A.

Potts George has been a non-resident lecturer on Sacred Rhetoric in ' Javier University since 1895. His interest and devotion to her won for him the election last year to the office f Vice- President. This will bring him in closer connection with the school and will prove a valuable addition. We hope the time is not far distant when his pas- toral duties will release him ti such an extent that we may he able to have him with us more. Rev. Win. Potts George, I). I).. LL. I). James IS.

He returned to Taylor University and is a member of the Senior Class of 1909. CHARLES P. KIBBY IPimpfe© ®H S(gnan@r Cto The school year was almost gone and the closing week had come. The graduating class was free from the regular class routine, but working hard upon the closing exercises of the year. The year was a strenuous one, being filled with hard work, and we were feeling somewhat overwrought and in need of rest. It was a bright and beautiful day in June when we made our way to the banks of the Mississinewa, holding westward through the wood, up hill ami down dale, over fences and brush, until we reached the river ' s cool and placid waters. The walk was de- lightful ; nature seemed to greet us on every side; the birds sang beautifully ; gentle zephyrs fanned our wearied brow, and fresh morning dews of the wood poured out upon us their refreshing balm. We sat down on the bank, prepared and cast our fishing line into the river. The sun poured its rays down upon us. and soon becoming tired of this pas- time, we withdrew to a nearby tree to rest. Soon we were lost in sleep and the answer to our thoughts during the walk and the few moments on the river ' s brink concerning the members of the Senior Class ' 09 were portrayed before us. They went cuit from their alma mater to happy, successful lives. We followed them year after year, from good to better, until the year 1914, when we went to the western country tn be a herald of the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. Years passed, in which were hardships and trials, but God ' s grace was sufficient. Under His blessing we were used in erecting one church after another and in winning precious souls to the Master. Weary and worn from the work of several years, we wended our way once more to our dear old alma mater. Arriving at Upland Station, we found it about the same as when we left it. but to our aston- ishment were greeted by a new rubber-tired coach to carry friends to the University. We had heard that the institution as prospering ' , but was over- joyed to sec the new Music Hall and Chapel, the grounds beautified and several other improvements. We entered the .Music I [all, escorted by our dear l)r. Vayhinger, who said to me, These seats and finishings of the interior arc a gift of Dr. E. C. Hall- man. On my inquiry concerning him the Doctor re- plied. Why, when you went West, Hallman went East, soon rose to great eminence, and finally was appointed to the First Church of Baltimore. He is now receiving a salary of $10,000. And. don ' t you kimw. since hi- appointment lie lias had a great re- vival, numbers being saved ' And of the young con- verts lie informs me that there will be twenty begin work in Taylor next year. The noon hour bad come, and, on hearing the bell sound, we went to the dining hall, which was great- ly improved. After dinner the Doctor took us to the bakery and showed us a new machine, bearing tlie name of Kibby ' s Complete Bakery. By the use of its different sets of fixtures one could use it for pies, cakes or bread, and produce them ready for table use. All that was necessary was to get the material in its proper apartments and turn on the power, which came from the electric plant. The Doctor informed us, saying Mr. Kibby has completed his engineering education and is now the owner of a large establishment where such ma- chines are made. lie employs five hundred men and is now having an income of thousands of dol- lars. But he has not forgotten us; he makes the University a large donation annually. Just then a limb fell from the tree and we awoke, surprised to see the -tin hiding its face in the west- ern horizon. We gathered ourselves together and returned to our home, as the shades of night were enveloping us. The school year ended gloriously, and the students parted, some to return in the fall of ' 09 and others to plunge into life ' s activities. WW CLASS OF 1910 John Theron Illick stretched out his arms and yawned for the first time December 3, 1888, at Cher- ry Valley, Northampton County, Pennsylvania. He attended school at llulmeville, Dauphin and Frack- ville, Pennsylvania, at the last of which he was grad- uated in 1906. In the fall of ' 06 he entered Taylor University as a Freshman. He expects to labor as a foreign missionary. Susan Moberly Talbott made glad her mother ' s home in Coatsville, Indiana. Moved to Orleans, Indiana, when quite young. Graduated from the Orleans High School in 1904. Spent the summer of 1903 in the Shorthand Training School in Indianapo- lis. Entered Taylor University in the fall of 1905. Traveled with the T. U.

AYis.. and received his early education in several different schools. Being the son of Evangelist R. II. Craig, he was compelled to move considerably. He has been in attendance in Taylor University for four years, and is one of the representatives of the Tha- lonian Literary Society in the Christian Herald Prize Debate this year. T. A.

Motto: Onward and Upward ( dlors: Steel and Garnet Flower: American Beauty OFFICERS Susan M. Talbott President Raymond W. Craig Secretary and Treasurer Thos. A. Ballinger Prophet John Therein [Hick Historian dkoafeir Cfeg Elfefoiry From the earliest stages) of man to the present time, it has been the custom to give to the coming generations accounts of their forefathers, through tradition or through history. These accounts con- sisted of the trials ami triumphs through which they passed together, with their characteristics and mode of living. Therefore we have seen it neces- sary to fulfill our duty by complying with the same principle and giving to our children ' s children a short account of the noble class of 1910. We entered the halls of Taylor, not knowing what our lot woidd lie, but after fulfilling the neces- sary conditions, begun our college work. Some who joined us during that memorable fall of ' 06 have gone out into other fields, others have come in to take their places. The following year we became — Sophs — meek little yielding fellows, but before the year was out some lost most of this character- istic and boldly entered social life, which they seem to enjoy. We all stood fairly high in our classes, so that no complaints came from that direction, and since, we have been pressing on to higher ideals. As Juniors of 1910, we have a wider view of what life means and will mean to us. Our ideals are set and it is our aim and ambition to ever keep them clearly before us to guide and give us new strength and courage on life ' s stormy path, and as Kipling has expressed it: And only the Master shall praise us, And only the Master shall blame; And no one shall work for money, and no One shall work for fame. But each for the joy of the working, and Each in his separate star. Shall draw the Thing as he sees It, for The God of things as thev are! jknaikr Cte§ P®©im Life has many an open doorway. Leading to the halls of fame, And temptation whispers softly — Enter there and write your name. Life has many an ivied gateway On the path to honor found, And the tempter beckons, saying: Have thy name with honor crowned. Life has many a jewel-crowned portal, That the way to riches lead; We ' re invited here to enter If in life we would succeed. But we pause to think a moment Ere we our decision make, And we ponder, ' fame, wealth, honor— Which road shall I choose to taker As we ponder o ' er the question We a narrow pathway see That will lead us straight to glorv — Lis the way of Calvary. And we hear a sweet voice saying — ' lake thy crois and follow me; Though the way be straight and narro ' Tisthe way of victory; I have trod the way before thee, And I ' ll guide thee safely through; Choose not honor, fame or riches, Take the pathway with the few. Worldly honor means but failure; Fame will only cause thee strife; Wealth is no enduring substance; Let thy choice be endless life. So we choose the way with Jesus, Leaving all the world behind; And while walking in His footsteps. We a sweet contentment find. Peace that passeth understanding. Is the wages we receive; And the joys akin to heaven, On our hearts their impress leave. Love abounding, life eternal, Cups of joy, filled to the brim, Honor, wealth and fame forgotten, And we ' re satisfied in Him. Jnanafer Qmm Pimpfe© As I stand and look out upon the expanse of the future from my viewpoint in the Hall of Learning. I see four small circles representing the members of the Junior Class as their lives and works are today. Do I say four small circles? Yes. Small as com- pared with the vastness of time and future achieve- ments, but great as compared with the achievements and possibilities of their fellows. Though small, mighty and potent forces lie within each circle. Under the pressure, supplied by right and wise manipulation of life force s, the surplus latent energy is transformed into kinetic energy, and the circles begin to expand. Gradually each circle broadens from the life-giving center like the ripple caused by the dropping of the pebble in the bosom of mid- ocean. But unlike the little ripple, as the circles ex- pand, they gather force. Things are accomplished. Each accomplishment lays the foundation for better and greater things. Thus the circles widen, energizing and making fuller and richer every phase of life which they touch. The culmination is reached when the great- est fullness and richness is attained in a world-wide expression of effects produced by the energies and influences emanating from the life centers of these representative circles. My vision ceases. I am left alone to meditate. Will these energies and influences cease with the passing of the personages that gave them force? No! They will be felt and passed on from genera- tion to generation with ever-increasing potency. With due appreciation and respect, the names of the members of the Junior Class of 1909 will be revered and properly placed in the galaxy of the great men and women of the earth.

I was strolling out fur my morning walk, thinking of the future. Realizing myself to be no prophet, neither the daughter of a prophet, and knowing that this duty rested upon me. I was somewhat confused, when. like the sudden gust of wind on a warm summer eve. a thought came into my mind as if it were a spirit. It was this: In the lives of the members of the Class of 1911 lies their future in embryo. .Man is in some measure the prophecy of himself. We studied and thought of the life of William Kidder and concluded that he would follow the bent which I discovered there, namely Anti-Saloon League work. I could see him in his native State, New York, bringing the question of the saloon to a paramount issue, and that, through his efforts, the State was going dry. Little did I think that be- neath the outward show- there lay hidden such won- derful possibilities which I beheld in Mr. Kidder. But when 1 turned to Maude A. Doling. I cer- tainly was perplexed, I knew not what golden treasure lay hidden there. For a moment I thought to inquire of Jeffras, but again the thought of read- ing for myself was impressed upon me. I read, but oh. how hard it was! At least, by diligent search, 1 found that she was bent on the foreign field, but could not go alone. I could see her sailing across the ocean deep to the benighted land of the Ethiop- ian and laboring there for the lost. Profiting by this experience, I returned to my room. I felt that I had learned a lesson, that the future may be read in the present. Get up, Maude! We must be there b.y opening day- FinrfiEfflnna €Mm MOTTO: Finl Origin Pmdet.

The quality of this class must be noted rather than the quantity. Its members are few and have come from far and near, but each has proved him- self a workman that needeth nut to be ashamed. Soon after the opening of the school year the Fresh men formed themselves into a compact organi- zation, which has proved itself loyal to ( )ld Taylor and uplifting to its members. They have learned that the dour to success is always marked Push, and are pressing forward with dauntless enrage toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of t mil in Christ Jesus. The Freshmen are a spiritual, upright band of young people, who possess enough of the college spirit to enjoy University life and to strive for each other ' s happiness and success. Despite the great amount of work they have had to do. they have kept cheerfully and earnestly at it, and have been able to assemble themselves at the dining hall three times each day. Although Cupid and like indomitable foes have not succeeded in diminishing their ranks, they have had to mourn the loss of one dear brother of ster- ling- character. Net by his death a new vigor was imparted to each of the Freshmen to fight a good fight and be able to leave this world with the same smile of approval of their Maker as did J. H. Taylor, their worthy class orator. And now as we look into the faces of the Fresh- men we see an expression of determination and vic- tory which seems to say, We have met the enemy and he is ours. Propter ©H FircB Snmm um Qm Growing weary one warm summer day of long, tedious hours of study. I laid my book aside and sat gazing through the open window into a beautiful blue skv. 1 he little sunbeams which played so carelessly about my feet seemed to extend to me a cordial invitation to come and enjoy their full rays. The soft breezes also greeted me so pleasantly that I was finally persuaded that Nature, wi th her many- enticing wa_ s. was indeed a healing balm to fatigue. So arousing out of my lethargy. 1 slowly directed my steps into the open air, where 1 might receive the full benefit of Nature ' s charms. I soon found myself yielding to the delightful shade of the apple trees which surrounded me on every side. En- grossed by their beauty, 1 remained for some time admiring one for its great load of ripe red fruit, an- other for its tall and stalwart frame, which seemed ready for any conflict, and still another for its mag- nificent structure. I was about to return to my room when my eyes fell upon one which, for the time, had been entirely unnoticed. My heart imme- diately swelled with pitv as I beheld, in comparison, its small form and its fruit, which consisted of only six small green apples. As I wended my way back to my work 1 wondered what the small tree with its little green fruit could ewer amount to. The effect of this little outing was so pleasant and exhilarating that the visits to the orchard be- came quite frequent. While I admired the beauty of the other trees from time to time. I noted with great interest the growth of the little insignificant tree, and most especially of the rapid development of the six small green apples. Later in the season, as 1 went to my usual resort, through interest rather than for comfort. I found to my sorrow that the trees which during the summer had been objects of great admiration, were now looking ugly ami bare from the effects of the hoary- frosts and the cruel winds, but to my great surprise, the little object of interest greeted me with all the freshness and vigor of spring. It stood there so tall and stalwart and seemed to offer with its great strong arms the fruit, which, not for its great abundance, but for its real worth, was most acceptable. I now frequently laid aside my studies to respond to a call of the Class of 1912. This organization in comparison with our most noble Senior Class, which is now ready to yield its ripened fruit to the world. may seem quite trival with its small membership of six. To the Juniors, standing so brave and strong before us and almost ready for life ' s battles, the Freshmen may seem quite insignificant; and it may be the Sophomores can see for them no bright fu- ture, but one who has been permitted to look far beyond the mists is able to see for the Class of 1912 a bright and glorious future of unparalleled success. Strengthened for every conflict and ready for any foe. as comes the urgent call from all parts of the globe, for well-equipp ed men and women to enter the battlefield of life, we hear the answer rolling over the hills, reverberating through the valleys, echoing- and re-ochoing through wood and plain, Apply to the Class of 1912. Frnggfanifl] Qmm IP® smm 1S1J Intent alone on mischief, fun and play, We could not hear the voice of duty call, Nor see beyond our childhood ' s happy day. But, like the brooklet, which in meadow green, Glides laughingly along and does not know Where it shall end its course, which lies unseen Commingled with the ocean ' s ebb and flow — We, as a band of merry girls and boys, Not dreaming of our future destiny, But thinking only of our present joys, Were little brooklets flowing to the sea. Ah! those were very happy days, when we With mother ' s kiss implanted on our brow, Went trotting off to school with heart so free, Not laden with the cares that press it now. The waters of the brooklet never stay Among the rocky rills or forest bleak; But ever flowing onward wend their way Toward the peaceful valley and the creek. Just so, our little lives were not content To stop, but left our Grammar School behind, And entering Academy were bent On broadening and building ng up mind. But iow those four long, happy years have fled, Some memories bring us joy, and some remorse And, as the creek to river deep is led, So we are led to start our College course. ' Tis said the end depends upon the start. So let us lay foundations firm and true. And strive with all our might to do our part To win in all we undertake to do. We do not know how far our course will run, Or when our God may, from his throne above, Call us to join our class-mate, that dear one, Whose memory we hold with tender love. So let us strive to do our best each day, And bear our burdens till the danger ' s past; For, if the river freshet brings dismay, We cannot bear the stormy ocean blast. And let us keep in mind that day by day We ' re floating toward this ocean, deep and wid And as we journey onward, let us pray That God may ever be our faithful Guide.

Anna Rehling, Aenfanafc Efefoir The author of this little sketch has been brought to realize that the history of a nation, an institution, or an organization is never all written. The more we meditate and study, the more we realize the fact that it is impossible in such brief space to write the history of an illustrious academy. Our students have come from all parts of the earth. The past of all before entering Taylor University, of course, can- not be touched upon. Whether or not the hand of fate has always led us through sunn}- paths, in this respect she has been kind: To lead each of us to Taylor just in time to join that notable band of stu- dents, namely, Academics of 1909. No body of students has been as yet so ell or- ganized and so marvelously equipped as that of the present. Our orators are eloquent, our readers ac- complished, and our debaters are most argumenta- tive. Surely there is a strong magnetic power in the Academy, for it not only draws unto itself the golden eagles of the Christian Herald prizes, but also, as the needle is invariably drawn towards the pole, so all that is good, noble and true is attracted to the Academics of ' 09. Our hearts are made to rejoice when we think of the transformation in the lives of some of our number. Where the ideal had been the seeking of pleasure and fame, the attitude has been changed, the will being brought in harmony with the Divine will ; ability and talents have been placed on God ' s altar, so that even in this short time the sweet un- conscious influences of their lives have been felt by every member of the school. The Academics are a mixed company, representing a noble band of young men and women, whose lives are clean and who are ready for any work and glad for any opportunity to labor for their Kins;. GUY W.

Charles W. JerFras became aggressive Nov. 20, 1887, at Bell Davis, a village four miles west of Indianapolis He completed common school work at the age of fourteen, moved to Indianapolis and attended night school. He studied along Mechanical lines, learning the trade of a mechanic. Being converted at the age of seventeen, he engaged in active Christian work in the city of Indi- anapolis for a year previous to coming to Taylor University. He won the State oratorical contest of the Inter-collegiate Prohibition League for Taylor and represented them in the Inter-State contest in Illinois. He will represent the Thalonian Literary Society in the annual Christian Herald Prize Debate. His life will bo devoted to Christian work.

During the first year here he was converted and began active Christian work. He spent two years at high school, and then began teaching in the southern part of Franklin county, where he taught two years.

Graduated from the Academy in 1909. Amimnj Fm$h(B@j The sun hail left behind a golden track: the shades of night were falling; refreshing breezes were arising, and the twinkling constellations were glittering with remarkable lustre, when suddenly: the years of futurity unfolded themselves before my vision. 1 at once observed that ignorance and superstition, fraud and beguilement, and such im- pairments, which, even at the beginning of the twentieth century, were hanging in dismal gloom and midnight darkness over a great part of the world, had fled before the life-giving power of knowledge as darkness vanishes at the break of day. How changed the world seemed! The great re- forms, which were so nobly begun in the closing years of the nineteenth century, had all been ac- complished with grand success. High license, lo- cal option, and state-wide prohibition had faded be- fore the glowing rays of national prohibition. The thundering roar of buttle and dying shrieks of bleeding soldiers had been calmed by the voice of justice and the court of international peace. Un- belief, unfidelity. and scepticism had melted away and had dissolved into the streams of faith, fidelity and love. All the great sociological problems, which confronted the ages of the past, had finally been solved. Child labor, divorcement and self- destruction had not been heard of for a decade and a half, and in place of these degrading influences, were creation, reconciliation and happiness. At first. I remained stupefied in wonder and amazement, and thought that it was a dream: but as I gazed. I beheld my old classmates, holding the highest offices of trust anil honor and presiding over national affairs. Among the foremost were C. W. Jeffras, the debater: M. A. Keith, the prohibition- ist: Miss Ward the suffragist: Holmes, the orator; Wisner. the lover of home, and S. C. Taylor North Dakota ' s gifted son. I realized at once that it was possible, nevertheless my curiosity was greatly aroused, and it was not satisfied, until I beheld, written in the Hall of Fame, masterpieces of sound and argumentative oratory and eloquence, which had been composed and delivered by the Acathanic Ciass of Nineteen Hundred Nine of Taylor Univer- sity. mk@@l ®S Tte©l©4f MOTTO: COLORS: W.

Propfeie ©I Tfe@E®|kuII Cta I am neither a prophet nor the son of a prophet, but while I was musing the tire burned, anil by the light of it I could see things which are worthy of remembrance. The ' -School of the Prophets declared in clarion toiio, He would that all the Lord ' s people were prophets. The occupation of sky pilot is of no mean order. Departed Christians would gladly come back to take up work on a country charge. Canonized saints would renounce their dignity to become pioneer preachers. Angels would divest themselves of whitest robes ahd swiftest wings to stand behind the sacred desk. Archangels would renounce their office to become evangelists and min- isters of the Gospel of Christ in the twentieth century. Christ ' s greatest command was that we should •■preach the Gospel: Paul ' s greatest exhortation to Timothy was that he should preach the Word. The mantles of Noah, Elijah. Nathan, Jonah, Philip, Peter and Paul have fallen upon us. Each of us cried out. ••Woe is me if I preach not the Gospel. The illustrious preachers of every aye. Chrysostom, Luther, Whitefield. Chalmers and Brooks, have in- spired us, and have stamped their influence upon our careers. The evangelism of the Wesleys and the saintly lives of Fletcher and Asbury have left their marks upon our character. Therefore it is not a wonder that I see. twenty years from now.

Shall these prophesies be fulfilled? Let each divinity student answer! But this is as certain as the rising of tomorrow ' s sun, that our future is what we make it: our destiny is in our own hands. Let us beware lest the words of the cynic be true of us. ••Ten thousand thousand are his texts, but all his sermons one. Shall we not rise to the occa- sion, grasp the opportunity, capture each strategic point an«l advance all along the lines? Shall we not keep step with the apostles and martyrs of the ages as we unfurl the blood-stained banner of the cross, plant it upon every hill and wave it in every plane? P®(gim SEEKING TREASURE The mines are deep, And rocky vaults the treasure keep; And thou must answer, which Wilt thou be, poor or rich. Go down and dig where paths are dark and steep The gold is there. And silver hid away with caie; Go down, ' tis dark and damp; Go down with match and lamp, And falling rock and hidden danger dare. Beyond the ken Of moving throngs and living men Go like the miner grim. Through cavern cold and dim, And stoop amid the gloomy columns. Then With drill and blast, Breakthrough the doors by rocks held fast; Bring out the shining ore, Or farther depths explore, Where buried lies the wealth of ages past. Come back with spoil, And show the wealth that comes of toil; The miner ' s dress lav off, And hat and lantern doff; Put on the robes which labor may not soil. So out of sight The soul goes down for gems of light; A dark and winding path It seems, the way of faith: The gold is there, and there the jewels bright. Down! Christian, go; The world above and thou below; Down where the daylight fades. Is lost in nether shades, Where but the lamps of truth thy way may Lay off thy dress Of worldlv ease and sumptuousness. What ' if the filth and murk Shall soil thee at thy work, And comforts fail and cares thy soul oppress? You seek for gold; Grasp all the wealth your hands can hold; With bag and purse remain; Fill once and fill again; Be rich: estates be yours of price untold. Come up with joy, Bring up your gold without alloy. Shake off the miner ' s dust, The dross of care and rust — Let sweet beneficence be your employ. Come forth erect, And live and shine a prince elect; And let the world behold Your treasure and your gold, As you the love and grace of God reflect. -John C. Wengatz. ©IFUfolfJ The aim of this department is to facilitate true expression. What true expression is may best be told in Dr. Curry ' s own words: Expression implies cause, means and effect. It is a natural effect of a natural cause, and hence is governed by all laws of nature ' s processes. The cause is in the mind, the means are the voice and the body, Expression may be improved by stimulating the cause, by developing the organic means, the voice and the body, by training them to be more flex- ible and responsive to the mind, or by bringing them uuder better control; and, lastly, by securing a better knowledge of right modes of execution and greater skill in their use. Expression must be in some sense a direct and spontaneous result of its cause, which lies in the process of thought. Therefore, we endeavor to recognize the fact that the technicalities of Vocal Expression must be studied side by side with the psychic action which tlicv manifest. Hansel II.

SADIE LOUISE MILLER Tie ©(gpiiirtaeiiaft ®E Sfefc Music is ;i balm for the wounded soul and also an expression of its deepest emotions, whether pleasant or sad, from the cradle days to the close of life. The infant ' s sobs are lust in the soothing tones of its mother ' s lullaby; the child gives vent to his exuberance of spirit in a merry song or a whistled tune: the careworn toiler of life is comforted in his trials by the strains of some rich melody from one of the old masters; the dying saint is lulled into the last sleep by the singing of his favorite hymn; and the mourner rinds peace for his aching heart, as words of comfort and cheer are brought to him by the sweet voice of the singer. All the sorrow and heartache of life, as well as all the joys, have been expressed in melody. Music is beneficial to a person in any station in life, but is especially necessary for one preparing for Christian work; and it is one of the most en- nobling arts for a vocation in 1 fe. The School of Music in Taylor University is doing its best to raise the standard of music as an art in the school. Instructions are given in Piano. Voice, Sight-reading, Chorus Work, Har- mony and Musical History. Students ' Recitals are given regularly by the de- partment, and the weekly meetings of the Literary Societies afford a great opportunity for developing ease in public performances. The Musical Library contains much valuable information, and is free to all students, and the best musical journals are received monthly. The ladies ' quartet, winch toured the St;fte of Indiana under the direction of the University last summer, was well received everywhere, and was very successful in a financial way. Several male quartets have been organized this year and have as- sisted on musical programs at the University and in neighboring towns. The courses of study in this department are well planned. A student can enter at any time, and is promoted according to his own proficiency. ( )ur piano instructor. Miss Flora Klipsch has im- proved her department in a remarkable manner, not only on the technical side, but also in an artistic way. Pupils have learned to love music as an art, to study the masters who wrote it, ami to feel the emotions expressed by it. Miss Klipsch is as- sisted in teaching by Miss Sadie L. Miller. Miss Nettie Springer, Professor of Voice Train- ing, is a noted Gospel singer as well as a proficient teacher. She has had excellent success in her de- partment this year. £®noai5ffl sirdia]l Cta President Vice President Secretary OFFICERS T. J. Browne Miss Lisle Simons Guernsey Boyd H. L. Bartram Mabel L.

T IIALOXIAN LITERARY S C I E T Y Tfekiiiniia Literary §®d s% Empires fall, kingdoms perish, continents change their coast line and countries their climate. Change and decay is stamped indelibly upon the fauna and tlura Hi the world; hut Upland is still mi the map. Taylor still stands, the Thalonian Literary Society is still drinking at the fountain of perpetual youth, and flourishes as the palm tree. This society began its career of unparalleled suc- cess in 1850. We have no apology to make for its existence. We have never thrown away its birth- right by being indifferent to its motto, rebelling against its constitution, or by failing to execute its program. It is not an unknown quantity. Its past is a sweet memory, a profound delight and a crown of glory. There has been no lack of great men and noble women. From platform, press and pulpit our students have distinguished themselves and won un- dying fame. Pastors, evangelists ami missionaries have gone out i if its halls and have made their record on high in the annals of history among the galaxy of the great. A revival of Thalonianism has been in prog- ress during the last decade. Our orators, essayists, readers, debaters and musicians have won trophies in local, state and interstate contests. Our fame spreads as the perfume of flowers, and men are sing- ing our praises in many lands and on every conti nent. Our Society has been the forum of free speech, the agent of culture, and an association for the pre- vention of loneliness. Its optimistic and altruistic trails of character are only overmatched by its solidarity of organiza- tion, continuity of lab or, and spontaneity of religious zeal. For nearly sixty years it has been banishing bashfulness, increasing intelligence, clarifying the mind, and cultivating Christian conscience. Grit, grace and gumption ' have marked the pathway of its pilgrimage. Its motto, Know Thyself, is in keeping with the eternal fitness of things. Is it not the highest wisdom for man to have a knowledge of the me- chanism of his body, the complexity of his mind, and the delicacy of his soul? In answering the question, What is man? shall we not get a clue to the solution of. What is God? Knowledge of the microcosm will lead and aid us in compre- hending the macrocosm. Therefore every Thalo is a student of man. But what of the future? We march out to meet it with a stout heart, a strong hand, and a firm Head, for The path of the just is as the shi ning light, which shineth more and more unto the perfect day. We purpose attempting greater things for God, and we expect greater things from Him. until we assemble in the realms of eternal day to count our blessings, tell of our triumph, and cast our crowns at the Savior ' s feet.

It is the mind that controls the destim of man: it is the mind that rules the world. As the mind is. so is man. How im- portant, then, that the mind sin mid be so trained as to bring out the very best in man! Realizing the value of this truth, men have every- where in the civilized world made provisions for such mental training as will enable the human race to develop and bring forth the best and noblest in its nature. Educational institutions abound on the right hand and on the left. Turn where you will, your eyes can not but behold them. hie of the must important factors to be found in the schools and colleges for furnishing a well-round- ed, first-class education are the literary societies. For thirty-one years there has existed in the in- stitution now known as Taylor University a literary society, which was burn of necessity. Founded on a firm basis and with a strength akin to her founda- tion, the I ' hilalethean Literary Society has passed through every adverse storm, and like the oaks of the forest, is stronger because of the storms. This society has mine than met the expectations of her founders. So illustrious has been her history and so brilliant her achievements that every Philo may justly be proud of his or her connection with such an organization. In the inter-society contests and other literary functions her debaters, orators, essayists, readers and musicians have done credit to themselves, and have brought honor to the society. ( )f the multitude who have passed through her hall in the course of training for future usefulness and ultimate success, so many have attained success that with due respect for all, the writer refrains from making personal mention o| any. The success which so inevitably meets the efforts of the Philaletheans everywhere is due to the fact that they have learned to put into practical applica- tion the principle embodied in the society ' s motto. Ainmi Impero Corporis Servito Utimur. ( ' We use the power of the mind for the service of the body. ) Her colors are blue and while, emblems of truth and purity. Whenever in the wide world the influence of the Philaletheans is felt, it carries with it the spirit of truth and purity ; and exercises a most wholesome effect upon men. leading them to higher and nobler ethical conceptions. Lovers of truth, your record in the past has been an excellent one. With loyal devotion to the S0- ciety and her interests, you have proven the sin- ceritv of your purpose in obtaining and promoting the highest type of literary culture. With well directed zeal you have steadily advanced along the highway of progress, approaching day by day more nearly to your goal — the ideal. May your achievements in the future far. excel those of the past. With strict adherence to your motto, unswerving loyalty to your colors and true fidelity to your name, your efforts shall ever be crowded with honor and glory. Your success will much exceed your fondest dreams, and the far-reach- ing consequences of your influence eternity alone will tell. l ' HILALETIIKAX BASKET KALI.

This club was first organized Feb. 21, 1903. Its aim is to educate the power and facility resident in the debate and parliamentary law. Ever since its rise the Eureka Club has enrolled energetic and leading students. In its individuality are skillful parliamentarians and ingenious debaters. Last year one of our men represented Taylor University in the State Prohibition Oratorical contest. Again the school ' s contestant this year is a Eurekan. Triumphs have been won of which we are proud. Perennial springs are life giving fountains. No stronger plea could be made for our Society than the personnel of its present membership, There is Garrison, impellant in persuasion; T. .]. Brown, the humorist; Craig, the impassioned speaker; Habgood, the incisive reasoner, and Jeffras. the orator. We look with peering eyes into the future, and behold, written in the horizon, a bright and immoital fame. To climb higher and higher is our motto, till we reach the goal of Excelsior — Eureka. — JLiUlJl 1 j . ft i ? f f i Eosfe|©ininii[n] Delbn l Cfelb HilllKiu.se says: I would not waste my Spring of Youth in idle dalliance; I would plant rich seeds to blossom in 1113 manhood, and bear fruit, when I am old. The student, who enters college and says that he has not time to spend an hour each week in an organization which is for the sole purpose of his mental development, practically says that he is willing to waste his Spring of Youth in idle dalliance. This, he should not do. but should ally himself with some society and proceed to develope his latent powers. Among the many organizations in Taylor University, which stand for the highest ideals in debate and parliamentrv law, will be found the Eulogonian Debating Club. Although in her infancy, having been organized on the evening of Feb. 3, 1906, she has held and will continue to hold, in this school, a very important place for young men. who wish to make advancement along her lines, while in pursuit of their education. Thus they are enabled to plant rich seeds, which will take root and develope into a perfect fruit of usefulness, after they have finished their schoolwork and are in active service. We have a limited membership giving every member an equal chance for development. The merits of the club are evident by the manifestation of the knowledge of her members in debate and parliamentary law. PROHIBITION LEAGUE Pr®MMfK@s Lsnins© OFFft T A. BALL1NGER, President N. A. CHKISTENSEN, Secretary W. W. ( ' LOUSE, A Among t lie vast number of inter-col legiafce or- ganizations there is none that has shown its pur- pose more effectively than has the Enter-collegiate Prohibition Association, which is now organized in twenty different states. There arc twenty state as- sociations and about one hundred and sixty college leagues. The supreme object of this noble association is to prepare students for intelligent and scientific ser- vice against the direful liquor traffic. To accom- plish this they pursue a thorough study of all the important phases of this great question with special attention to the best method of obtaining per- manent prohibition. A series of very closely contested oratorical con- tests is conducted each year under the supervision of the association. These consist of local, state, inter-state and national contests. The local league of Taylor University is lull of life and enthusiasm. It had, during I lie year id ' 1906) a larger membership than any local league. EES: RAYMOND STEVENSON. Vice President CHARLES JEFFRAS, Treasurer ssistant Treasurer and in the 1 year 1907 showed a great increase in membership as well as enthusiasm. This year it has a membership of about one hundred, and we arc glad to say that it lias shown more effective work than ever before, having accomplished this through the careful and persistent study of the questions involved. We are indeed glad to say that in every state contest held thus far except two.that Taylor Univer- sity has carried off the laurels from the battle-field and has had the honor id ' representing our state in five inter-state contests. Mr. A. D. Burkett, our representative of 1905, won the first place, which gave him the pleasure of representing his Alma Mater in the national contest of 1906. Among some of the other Slate winners are B. II. McCoy, of 1901, Herbert Boase, of 1903, and .1. S. New- combe, of 1905. Charles Y. Jeffras of our League, won the state contest at Karlhani this year.

STOUT Vice-President, Ernest Ryder Secretary and Treasurer, H. R. ANDERSON YOL ' NG MEN ' S HOLINESS LEAGUE JAnn Eferfta Taylor In Memoriam John Horton Taylor, a son of Evangelist B. S. Taylor, was born, June 1886 at Storm Lake, Iowa, died Dec. 13, 1908, at Upland, Ind., in his first year of college. He was a promising Christian young man. preparing for the ministry. His bright and cheerful face was an inspiration to his teachers and class-mates. He was filled with the Holy Ghost. This was apparent even in his severe illness, when, in his delirious moments, he was praying and exhorting others to seek salvation. Though he was among us but a short time, his friends may be numbered by the score. We watched him while the breath of life Was ebbing fast away, And angels forms were near to guide His soul to endless day. Yet not more holy they than he Whose life to Christ was given. Nor worthier they to be with God — Around his throne in Heaven. His life its impress on our lives Has made for good, not ill. And while we see him here no more, Its beauty lingers still. We would not call him back, but strive Each day to walk with God, And follow humbly as did he The way the Master trod. Lata S Cfafodk In Memoriam Miss Leta McClintock was born March 25, 1892, departed this life Dec. 20, 1908, aged 16 yrs., 3 months, and 25 days. The greater part of her life was spent on a farm near Perkins- ville, lnd. She graduated from the Perkinsville graded school in the spring of 1908, and in the fall of the same year entered Tay- lor University, where she remained until stricken with her last ill- ness. Leta was of a sweet, affectionate disposition, a great lover of nature, especially of beautiful flowers. She always attended the Perkinsville M. E. church and Sunday School and in her last few years sang in the choir. At the beginning of the fall term at Taylor, Leta was soundly converted. Her Christian experience was clearly shown in her illness. She was so patient and kind; with a smile on her face, she would always answer, when asked how she was feeling, I am better. Her lamp of life went out as calmly as though she had gone to sleep. A precious one from us has gone, A voice we loved is stilled, A place is vacant in the home Which never can be filled. God, in His wisdom has recalled The boon His love had given. And though the body slumbers here, The soul is safe in Heaven. Hissdi Haiyifii ss ©oanadlar In Memorian Russel Haynes Gander was born Mar. 21, 1900 in Dunkirk, End. On the twen- tieth of March, his father moved to Up- land. End,, to attend Taylor University. Later on, Russel came and attended the common .school in Upland. While not in school, he could he seen upon the campus enjoying himself with the stu- dents, and it seemed to be hi.s delight to mingle with the college hoys. In the fall of 1907, while a great re- vival was going on at the University, he was soundly converted to God and ex- pressed his desire of being a Christian. He was always happy, bright, and joyous: the idol of his father and the friend of every student: loved by one and all. His mission on earth was ended and the work for which he hail been sent was accomplished. His body racked with fe- ver, and pneumonia settling upon him, his spirit on Dec. 22, 1908 took its flight and went to Him who gave it. Beside the dead we stood for prayer, And felt a Presence as we prayed, Lo, it was Jesus standing there, He said, Be not afraid. CHEMICAL LABORATORY Students Volunteer Band )fadbsit Vdonnator Bunadl OFFICERS Susan M. Talbot Myrtle Downs . President Vice President The student Volunteer Band of Taylor Univer- sity was organized in 1901 with five charter mem- bers. Since that time our ranks have greatly in- creased, though only a few comparatively have reached the field as yet. This year there have been twenty-two members, five of whom have enrolled this year a nd two transferred from another Band. Our meetings are weekly and are a source of spiritual strength to those who attend. There is always a blessing upon our own soul, when we take time to pray for the lost in heathen lands. Let us take heed to the commandment, Pray ye therefore the Lord of harvest that he may send forth more laborers into his harvest.

Hastings sailed for India, and Miss Le- ota Ratcliff sailed for Africa in the spring of 1908. Though the trials and difficulties which necessarily must be faced, the news from them is always that of victory. As from time to time we hear the encouraging re- ports of those who are on the field, or the glad shout of those for whom a door has been opened, and who are about to sail, our hearts leap for joy and we praise God for the hope that ere long we too .shall have a share in this great work in foreign lands. We are waiting God ' s time with the prayer •Here am I. Lord send continually on me. ur lips PRAYER BAND Tfe Fmj(BF Mmi Prayer is the Christian ' s vital breath. The Christian ' s native air. The prayer life of the Christian is the spiritual atmosphere in which he lives and grows. Nowhere has this life shown itself in our midst outside the secret chamber in more simple and beautiful expres- sion than in the I ' raver Hand meetings, which are held immediately after the supper hour on Wednes- day and Friday evenings. Gathered with one ac- cord, we sing, make our special requests for prayer, and bear our petitions to the Throne, where prayer is heard and answered. Then, in heart-to-heart tes- timony, we tell how God has blessed, led and espe- cially how He ba granted our desires even exceed- ing ' abundantly above all that we ask or think. This Band is organized for the purpose of leading those who would flee from the wrath to come Into the highest New Testament standard of Christian living. If we may judge from the testimonies of those who have been out in the midst of the fight, have felt the heat of battle, have contended with the flesh and the devil, and have lived the Christ-like life be- fore the world, the Hand is surely fulfilling its mis- sion for good. From personal experience and the testimonies of others, we feel safe in saying that there is a strength to be gained in these meetings which may not be had elsewhere, and that to those who have attended them there comes such an influ- ence that many hearts, though hundreds of miles dis- tant, are cheered as they think of those stirring songs, fervent prayers, ringing testimonies and hearty Aniens. Because of these Band meetings and similar ones held there. Room 7 is probably dearer to the hearts of Taylor ' s students than any other room on the campus. The class of 1908 presented Room 7 with a beautiful gasoline lamp, whose clean and radiant light not only makes the place more homelike, but always presents itself to our minds as a type of that spiritual light which emanates from this room to dis- pel the clouds of superstition and vice from even darkest Africa or farther distant India. One of the most interesting ' young women in Taylor University is the armless girl, Kittie Smith. Having lost her arms when hut a child, she has so remarkahlv overcome this misfortune, that, instead of arousing pity she excites admiration. She writes very well with her feet, is quite skill- ful in the art of drawing, in pyrography and in em- hrnii ' eriug. She also dexterously uses the hammer ami saw, having made a writing desk, table, and a number of other useful articles. Still more remarkable than these accomplish- ments is the charm of her bright personality, her cheerful disposition, ready wit, and, above all. her sweet devoted Christian life as we see it lived ami mt; ' us. KITTIE SMITH ATHLETICS MMg Athletics, in the past, has been an uncertain quantity in the History of Taylor University. At the present time and during ' the last year, thing ' s here so shaped themselves that we eventually have access to all clean athletic sports. In addition to these things, a very necessary feature to athletics has been added, a hath equip- ment, which was installed during the last school year. It was brought to a paramount issue by our Prof. Latham, hacked by the students, and com- pleted within a very short time. Our basket ball teams have an outdoor ground on which to play. The interest for this sport is increasing among the students, liase ball is also not without its interesting features. This is especially indulged in by the students, as well as tennis. The two Societies have their respective teams for the Ii inner, while the latter is taken up chiefly by the dif- ferent departments. We earnestly believe in not only developing the mental and moral side of man. but also the physical in every best poss.ble way, which might advance and assist him through life. Our hope is that the spirit of Athletics in every phase will grow ami strengthen as the years roll by. (%i52iiDa)g g for ©nrik It is now generally admitted by educators that the pupils in our institutions of learning need some kind of systematized physical training in connection with their mental work. The action of the fore- most educators in the world, the faculties of our leading colleges, permitting the expenditure of many thousands of dollars on magnificent gymnasiums, strengthens the assertion. The example thus set must be and is being fol- lowed by the public and private schools. They are gradually introducing gymnastics as a part of their course of education. The aim of gymnastics is to develop the body into a harmonious whole under the perfect control oi the will. It is not to produce great bulk of muscle, but to cause that already present to respond readily to the will ; and to counteract and correct tendencies to abnormal development. To be developing, gymnastics must be system- atic. Exercise should be taken in correct doses ' with regular intervals, and with a progression from the easy and simple to that which is harder and more complicated. Progression is made by keeping the same exercise and making various changes in it, or by using a different and stronger exercise of the same kind. When the importance of exercise for girls began to be recognized, the pioneers had to fight the tra- ditions of hundreds of years. They worked in the face of great discouragements but triumphed in the end. Exercise to-day is acknowledged by all as a fundamental need in the life and development of the girl as well as the man. The question then arose: What kind of exercise should bring about the re- sults? Much of this exercise should be given in the form of games, as these develop self-control, self- reliance, and teach the delight of abandon in play. Basket ball, of all games girls play, is by far the best to teach co-operation, the value of subordinat- ing one ' s self for the good of the whole, to deal fairly, and to be honorable in the face of defeat. The girl who can lose a championship game with a smil- ing face and a cheer for her opponents, knowing that she did her best, is the girl who will meet life ' s defeats bravely. It isn ' t the fact that you ' re whipped that counts, Hut how did you fight and why? A gymnasium offers the best opportunity in the world for character building, for there you see the girl as she really is because of that very feeling of freedom in the air ; and the competition and team play bring out all the best and worst sides of her character. By careful training the worst is elimi- nated, and ideas of honesty, courage, bravery, self- control and fair play are instilled in the minds of the girls, which thev will carry through life.

Tte EfeiMKS Life mt Imjlm ' Tis not of its grandeur tonight that I sing; ' Tis not of its riches nor any such thing; But just a few thoughts, in fond praise would I bring, Of the home-life at Taylor. I tell not of buildings with towers so high; Nor yet of the campus — I pass that all by, Though dear to my heart, still they never can vie With the Home-life at Taylor. No ' Frats does she boast of, no masquerade balls, Not even a grand march takes place in her halls, But still every student has found ' neath her walls A sweet home-life in Taylor. No cliques do we find here, no pride nor display; The students, who work, and the students who play, Are all in the family, joining today In the home-life at Taylor. No class fights are witnessed, no hazing is found; No merciless foot- ball is played on the ground. But pleasures and games that are noble abound In the home-life at Taylor. The students from countries far over the sea; The blacks, and the white in sweet friendship agree, For all are God ' s children, as such they may be In the home-life at Taylor. That we might be one, was our Master ' s fond prayer; And all, who are striving His image to bear, Are one in Christ Jesus, and so each may share In the home-life at Taylor. — Sadie Louise Miller. ©Bur IBamasKgr OialfisnrWl Every company of people that was ever or- ganized for the betterment of the world has had a truth on which to stand, or a motto that expressed their belief or their convictions of the ideal toward which they were striving. Nations, churches, schools, and even classes have fallen into line until to-day few, if any important organizations exist with nit a group of words expressing their belief and intentions. These words are displayed in different ways. Mottoes of a nation are inscribed on her currency and in her constitution; churches have the truths for which they stand in their articles of faith; classes, societies, and schools display theirs upon their banners: but these methods are all only sug- gestive of the fact that the grand, fundamental truth of any nation, church, or school should be exhibited in the very life of its adherents. ft was the rule among God ' s people in olden times tn establish a truth between them mi certain occasions, which would bind them together, and pre- vent any misunderstanding. When Laban and Jacob made their final covenant, they called the place where it was made Mizpah, or The Lord watch between me and thee when we are absent one from another. When Israel smote the Philistines. Samuel set up a stone and called it Ebenezer, or Hitherto hath the Lord helped us. God, himself, frequently presented them with truths mi which to establish their faith, from the time that lie gave to Moses the words, f am that 1 am. down to the last days of the prophets, when lie places before them a realistic portrayal of the crowning days f victory which His people shall some day enjoy; and in this picture lie reveals to them the glorious truth that has brought this prophecy to pass — a truth that is so dear to the hearts and minds of its adherents that it is printed in a motto of bold, bright letters — and so eager ' are they to display it. that they place it even upon the bells of the horses. This motto is none other than the one that is accepted and revered by our beloved Alma Mater. Holiness unto the Lord ; ' and as the prophetic eye of old saw the words displayed with pride on the bells of the horses, so we. to-day, behold as in a vision, floating from the topmost spire of Taylor Universitv, a ban- ner nf royal purple, mi which stands out in letters of pure gold mir glorious motto. Holiness unto the Lord. That ours is the crowning motto of the ages, and that it stands fur the highest ideal nf Christian liv- ing is proved by the prophecy itself, tint, as we are well aware, many classes, societies, and schools have mottoes, whose truths never appear except on their banners: many churches have a doctrine that is not e eu believed, much less practiced by their com- municants; and even our beloved nation prints on its coin. In God we trust. and then confesses itselt to he sn afraid of coming to want that it forms a league with the greatest curse on earth in order to secure revenue. Si it is possible fur Taylor Univer- sity tn accept this motto as her own. and to display it upon her banner, and still fail to have that ban- ner unfurled in the hearts and lives of her stu- dents. There is enc class of people who would in- tentionally lower our banner, and who would even wish to see it trail the dust. These are they who fail to understand its power because of the pre- dominance of the carnal nature within them. Put;, says, The natural man receiveth not the things oi the Spirit of God, for the} ' are foolishness unto him . neither can he know them, fur they are spiritually discerned. Carnality is not removed bv the for- giveness ' if sin, and its seed -till remaining in the heart, prevents many from seeing the deepest things of ( i id in the true light. These people, knowing only in part, think that those upholding our banner are making a profession of self-exaltation : but we, through the gift of perfect love, understand it to be the extreme opposite; that is. an experience of complete self-abnegation, which can be obtained only by passing- through the garden id agonizing prayer, out beyond the city gate of reputation, through the vale of humility, bearing our reproach, apart from the world, alone with Jesus, and on the point of self-crucifixion. Mere we must be willing to be entirely lost to the world, covered by the Blood, and forevermore to reckon ourselves dead to sin, that He may live and control all things in us. In no other way than this can true holiness be obtained. Then, when a sanctified person claims that he does not in. these people, looking through a glass darkly, infer that he claims to be beyond the need of I rod ' s help; but we. seeing as it were face to face, reaiize more than any others our dependence upon iod. and fly to Him daily, hourly, and sometimes moment by moment for Mis all-sufficient strength. Our own will and self being surrendered, Christ is to us our all and in all, and in Him alone we live; and although the Bible plainly teaches that a child of God cannot sin and retain his salvation, no one ever professed to live free from mistakes and gross errors in judgment; but we know that our hearts having been cleansed by the Blood, mean to do right, and there is therefore now no condemnation t : them which are in Chr st Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. Then, others looking on the outward appearance, think the work of sanctification to be simply an experience of happiness and joy. reaching no farther than an ability to shout; but from God ' s standpoint of view, what proceeds from the mouth is really the outcome front the abundance of the heart: and al- though it is often remarked that we might better live holiness than to talk it so much, if we will take note of it, the truly sanctified people, if they are con- tinuing in the light, live the cleanest, purest lives of any Christians; and if they have not been driven from the church by persecution, are the greatest burden-bearers and are those that a pastor can depend upon for any religious duty; and a heart cleansed from sin and filled with the Spirit of God must surely overflow both in word and deed : and will be instant in season, and sometimes out of sea- son, reproving, rebuking-, exhorting, for this is the will of God. When the Holy Spirit enters the heart to abide, lie does nut speak of Himself, hut begins to show us Jesus in a manner never before realized : it is really the bethrothal of the soul to Christ, and as the spirit life is broadened and deepened, we long to embrace the whole world and introduce to them Him whd is the chiefest among ten thousand ami the One altogether lovely. We long to exalt the blessed Holy Spirit, whose presence enables us to live in this glorified state and through whom w ehave revealed unto us the Bride-groom of our souls in a beauty so far transcending all earthly loves, that, though all the world reproach us. we are content with the com- munion which we find in Him. And sometimes in our eagerness to tell of the love that is welling up in our souls, people become weary, because they do not see Him as we do nor as He is. There is another class who are trying to uphold the banner, but who, through ignorance, are really lowering it. These are the people who have sought holiness, but when, during the seeking , the Lord has blessed them, as he does any true seeker, they have rested satisfied with this, and have stopped short of the perfect work of eradication of sin. Sanctifica- tion is the complete cleansing of the heart from the old carnal desires and besetting sins, and nothing less than this will uphold our glorious banner in the eyes of the world. Then, there are others who once made a full surrender, even to the point of self-crucifixion, but by failure to completelv rely on the Blood, care- lessly allowed Satan to drop a seed of s n again into their hearts, and then tailing to di to this also, the old carnal state has been restored. These on ac- count of a remembrance of the first work, still go on trying to uphold the banner, while, in reality, it must be lowered so much to meet their experience, that the world cannot see its beauty; but on the other hand, it throws a shadow across their pathway. Jesus said. And 1. if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me. This refers primarily to the death on the cross; but it is also true that we as His followers must exalt Him in our lives far above earth and earthly things, if the world is ever to be attracted to Him through us. The same is true of our banner of holiness. It will never attract the admiration of the world if it is lowered from its true standard. God has given this banner to them that fear Him that it may be dis- played because of the truth. We need not fie afraid of raising it too high, nor of expecting more of God than He wishes to give; for he is able to do ex- ceeding abundantly above all that we can ask or think. ( )ur banner should be displayed in every avenue of life. The prophet saw it on the bells of the horses, singnifving to us the necessity of taking it into the common labor of every-day life: and also showing us that it should not be deemed out of place to display it wherever we may be. God told the Israel- ites to talk of His law to their children when they lay down and when they rose up, when they sat in the house and when they walked in the waw If this was to be clone for the )ld Testament law-, how much more shall we do for the banner which has lifted us out of condemnation and has made us kings and priests in Christ Jesus! We would wish it un- furled in all the religious exercises of the school; but shall it be considered out of place in our every day conversation, in a society meeting, or on a com- mencement program? If we are crucified with Him. our moments and our days, our thoughts and our ambitions, and the best effort-- of our minds are for His glory evermore. The town of Ocean Grove. New Jersey, is con- trolled by holiness people, and everything is ex- cluded that would not be in accordance with their profession. On the monument in the park is the motto, Holiness unto the Lord. The Sabbath day is held sacred : no trains are allowed to stop there or. that day; not a horse nor a bicycle is seen on the street; no milkman ' s or butcher ' s bell is heard. A Sabbath spent there is surely a foretaste of Heaven. Religious meetings of various kinds, including one holiness meeting, are held daily throughout the sum- mer, and hundreds of souls come into the Kingdom of Christ and also into the blessing of heart purity at this sacred place each year. All through August a holiness camp meeting is held in the Auditorium, which seats ten thousand people. What is done there might be done elsewhere. Christ ' s prayer. Thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven. was not a farce but a glorious possibility; and al- though mortality can never assume the perfection of an immortal sold, still if the banner of holiness were unfurled until all Cod ' s people had received heart purity, we might live in an atmosphere similar to that of our upper room at Taylor University in October, nineteen hundred and seven, when the Holy Spirit of God rested upon us. in marvelous power, and His will was done in the hearts of His sanctified ones. We all believe that perfect holiness reigns in Heaven, and Jesus wills that as it is there it shall be here. School days are a preparation for the life that follows; and as we pass out from Taylor at this com- mencement time, whether it be as students for a summer vacation or as seniors to commence our life work; whether we shall walk in the common ways of life or preach the Gospel to hungry listeners; whatever may lie the length or importance of our career, we should have one aim. This should he in accordance with the teachings of our Alma Mater — to exhalt our glorious banner in such a way that it may hasten the time when Holiness unto the Lord shall be displayed not only on the bells of the horses, but in the hearts and lives of the followers of Christ. Then will the longing of the multitudes be for the white stone of purity, whereon shall be writ- ten the new name which will seal them holy unto the Lord forever. Those receiving this, shall await the coming of the bridegroom whose name they bear; and arrayed in a garment of fine linen which is the righteousness of saints shall they ac- company Him unto the marriage supper. thence forth to reign with Mini throughout all eternity.
