A.M., Ph.D. Taylor University We were indeed glad to welcome Professor Ayres back to Taylor last tall after his absence of tour years. He is one ot the strongest members oi the faculty and is honored, respected, and loved b the students. He is an excellent teacher and is untiring in his devotion to his work because he loves it. He puts into his classes spirit and energy, which make them interesting and enable the student to imbibe enough of his spirit to realize their insufficiency and to lung to be more earnest students, and better men and women. Professor Ayres ' classes are always popular. As Dean, all admit that he is the right man in the right place. Fact tender, kind, and considerate, yet when duty demands it, he is stern and immovable, but never harsh. Nothing ever escapes his notice, and his dealings with the students are always felt to be just. Honorable, upright, straightforward, unflinching in his performance ot dutv, he is an inspiration to all with whom he comes in contact. He is truly an example ot a devout, sincere, and earnest soul, whose very earnestness is a bacige of his nobility. REV. NEWTON WRAY, A.M., B.D. (DePauw University and Drew Theological Seminary) Dean of Theologic.il Department After hi.-- graduation at DePauw University, Professor Wrav spent tour years in the ministry in Indiana and then entered Drew Theological Seminary. When his course here was completed, he resumed his pastoral duties, giving his heart and soul to the work of the Christian ministry in the New York Conference until [903, when he returned to Indiana. After three years ' work as an evangelist, he was called to the head of the Theological Department of Asburv College, Kentucky. In 1909, he took tip his work in Taylor University, and during hi- stay among us has won the honor and esteem of every student. lie is a firm, stalwart, valiant man ot strong intellectual powers. Me is uncompromising. Once settled in a conviction, nothing moves him. Everything he says is impressed with the thoughtfulncss of an earnest man, and seems a direct expression of an earnest soul. He can scarce!} ' dismiss a class when the bell rings, so absorbed is he in his theme. PROF. GEORGE SHAW, A.M., B.D. Hamline University— Drew Theological Seminary Conf. Evangelist, Minn. Conf. Tavlor University is to be congratulated upon the addition of Pro- Shaw to the strong teaching force of the school. He ionics to us with several vears ' experience as leather, preacher, and evangelist. As an evanj Pi or Shaw has had marked success. Wherever he has gone he has won the heart- of the people and led many souls into the I the gospel of Christ. V a preai her of the gospel he is zealous, eloquent, and powerful. With a thorough knowledge of the Scriptures, Spirit-filled life, he brings the gospel message in a manner that appeals to the honest soul. The great theme of his preaching is, Christ and Him crucified. No true soul can listen to his powerful discourses on Christ without having his vision enlarged and hi, soul inspired to press on to greater heights in the Christian life. As a teacher he has u ,,n the affection of all who are under his instruction. He imparts to the student an inspiration to be studious and thorough in his work. It is a pleasure to b: in his classes, and we hope he may retain his place on Taylor ' s fecu.lt) for main years that many young people may have the benefit of his teaching and go out with a true conception of the gospel.

NEWTON WRAY (Nurm.il Certificate New York State Board of Regents) Professor of History The Faculty of Tavlor University was strengthened two years ago bv the addition of Mrs. Wray, as professor of history, a position which her experience in teaching and education by trayel have eminently qualified her to rill. She is a woman of rare tact and ability, and is generally con- ceded to be one who i apt to teach. Always desirous of attaining an unprejudiced mind on any question, she seeks to acquaint herself with facts from every standpoint, and willingly takes whatever can be proven, even it it is contrary to her views. Her sympathetic nature, cheerful disposition, breadth of charitv and liberality, but above all her Christian experience, have won for her a place in the hearts of the students of Tavlor University. EDITH DOROTHY OLMSTED Genessee Wesleyan University Miss Olmsted pursued the studv of voice under Mme. Fern Pickard Stevens of New York City and Eric Dudley, musical director of Ithaca. For two years she studied cho- rus work under Prof. Hollis E. Dann of Cornell University. In the fall of [909 she took charge of the school of vocal music at Taylor. Her teaching at Taylor has never been excelled and she deserves great credit for the way in which she has lunlt up her department. She is a member of the Taylor Woman ' s Quartette and her singing has been greatly enjoyed by the students. She has an affable disposition and enjoys nothing more than the fellowship of the students.

He spent his earh days as every mischievous, active boy, and early decided to follow I lorace (ircclc ' s advice and come west. He took must of his academic work here at Taylor, and after spending four years in the University at Oskaloosa, Iowa, came hack here to finish his college course. He is known tor his activity and enterprise. He graduates from Taylor with the A. B. degree. lake many others he thought it useless to wait until finishing his course to take unto himself a wife, but at the beginning of his freshman year married a pretty, brown-eyed maid, who will sail with him to the dark continent of Africa, where thev will carry the message of salvation to need natives. He is a Methodist preacher, past, present, and future, and is devout, energetic, and conscientious in his work. J. J. B. MORGAN, A. B. This promising youth first saw the light ot (lav in the grand old state ot William Penn — the state of coal and oil and men. c are sure it is a state of noble men it the representatives in this class are fair samples. Mr. Morgan traveled from state to state and from college to college hut finallv chose Tailor as his Alma Mater. All agree he made no mistake. His favorite study is experimental sociology, his favorite flower, the rose. To him has come a call to stand behind the sacred desk and preach the unsearchable riches of God. He will attend Drew Theological Seminary tor further preparation. His murals art- high, His talents not a tew ; We are sure he will succeed In the work he has to do. GRACE ELLISON Grace came eight hundred and fifty miles to join the class of 191 I in the middle ot their Senior year. She had previously been a class-mate ot every member of the class save one, and we were glad to again welcome her to our ranks. Those who know her are impressed by her sweet Christian character and deep spirituality, and connect with her the spirit of helpfulness and selt-forgettulness. She is never too busy to lighten others loads and cheer them on their way by her sunny disposition and her faith in God and the possibilities of lite in Him. She is an enthusiastic volunteer and after further preparation will cam the gospel store to some benighted land. None know her but to love her None name her but to praise 1 MISS ETHEL HOUSEHOLDER Miss Ethel Householder, the dignity of the Senior Class, well deserves her title of Ph. B. She has taken her previous college work at the Nebraska Wesleyan University and has taught several years in the Columbus High School. She finishes her course at Taylor this year with honor. She is one of those rare persons who is really, awfully busy and fully enjoys doing things. She is very ambitious and independent and never waits for anyone. She has ideals to attain and her aim in life is well expressed in the words : Onward, onward maj we press Through tilt- path ot duty ; Virtue is true happiness, Excellence, true beauty ; Minds are of supernal birth Let us make a hcayen of earth. FLOY HURLBUT Miss Hoy Hurlhut first smiled upon this world on Nebraska ' s rolling plains, and as the years have passed this smile has blossomed into a laugh. After roaming around for a few years like any preachers daughter, she settled down to take her High School course in Kearney, Nebraska. The fall of kjio she came to Taylor to complete her college course. Formerly her favorite subject was German but she ' s experimenting now. She is smart so she never needs to work the Profs. Her amiable disposition, her helpful spirit and numerous talents have made her popular among the students. She has heard the Master ' s call and intends to serve Him in distant lands. No life Can be pure And all life I ' thereby Senior Class Hisror Tongue can never tell or pen express the glories of thi illustrious Senior class whose history is herein recorded. The members of the class of 191 1, who soon embark upon life ' s untried seas, h.ive not been long together in this relation, this being the tirst year that Taylor University could claim them. Upon their entrance the faculty expressed themselves as glad to see Seniors present themselves tor graduation whom thev did not have to pilot through tour long years of college life. However, this class has made such an enviable record during the one short year of their stay that those who have stood at the helm only regret that thev must lose them so soon. A great deal might be said in justice to the possibilities of the class aiul its merits, but we remember that We are not heard fir our much speaking, so may its future works and its accomplish- ments be the sounders of its praises. G. E. E. Senior During my senior year at Tavlor I acquired a great fondness tor photography, which has grown as the years have passed. It has been .1 source of great pleasure to me and has served to relieve the stress of my regular work. One great source of difficulty in this work from the very beginning has been to get people together for their picture, and even after they are together it is well nigh impossible to get good pictures. When anyone knows his picture is about to be taken, he tries to look pretty, and usually makes a failure, succeeding only in looking unnatural. I determined, how- ever, to overcome this difficulty, it such a thing were possible. I have worked constantly at this problem lor the last twenty-five years, and at last have been rewarded to some extent, About two vears ago a new element was discovered, w hich was named aitherphagein, with very peculiar property. I heard about the discovery of this element and desired to investigate it. 1 visited the discoverer and had him demonstrate its merits to me, and explain how it was obtained. .After having mv curiositv satisfied somewhat 1 went home and began to experiment with it mvself. When in its nascent state it was ,1 pure white, but quickly became black. It occurred to me that probably the light was what blackened it. Experiment verified this hypothesis. In learning this characteristic of the element I decided to sensitize a plate with it and try to take a picture on it. I did so and took a picture ot my home. That night on examining the plate in mv dark room I saw on it a very strange scene. It was a large auditorium filled with negro b oys and girls, with a row of white people in front facing the others. In the middle ot the row was one whose race I recog- nized as my old classmate, Mr. Winter. On his right sat his wile. All the rest of the faces seemed strange to me except one. This one seemed familiar, but tor some time I could no! identifv it. It was the face of a woman with a very light complexion, and as the walls of the auditorium were white, it did not show very distinctly. 1 finally made it out to be Miss Hurlbut. I judge this was a pic- ture ot an African Mission, as I remembered Miss Hurlbut and Mr. imer intended going to the mission held. I was crv much puzzled as to how I obtained such a picture- on my plate and decided to make some other experiments. While preparing plates tor this experiment 1 got to wondering what had become of Miss Ellison and Miss Householder, my other class- mates. After the plates were all readj I exposed both to my home, as I had done the former one, to see it there would be any variation in the result, halt expecting to get another view ot Mr. Winter ' s Mission. In this I was disappointed, tor on looking at the first plate 1 saw a hospital ward in which all the patients looked like foreigners of some sort. I could not make out what nationality thev were. Bending over a patient in the foreground was one whom I recognized as Miss Ellison. 1 judged from this that she was a medical missionary. I quickly opened the other plate, anxious what it would reveal to me. I saw on it a schoolroom, at the blackboard of which were students working algebra problems. In the middle of the room, directing affairs, was tin classmate, Miss Householder. I have tried several times to get other glimpses of my old class- mates, hut have utterly tailed. I think there must have been some psychological connection with this element, hut what it was I have- not been able to discover. I intend to become acquainted with the secrets of this element, and then I know I will have solved the greatest problem of modern photographv. |. J. B. M.

Yet He ever will be with us Though we go to distant lands; He will comfort, guide and cheer us. Bless the labor of our hands. When we entered on our school-life We had ideals to attain, But before they were accomplished Others crossed our small domain- Thus it has been ever with us All along the way of life, As we ' ve met the joys, the pleasures Or the turmoil and the strife. How the peaks of our ideals Loomed above us, all around, And each summit we surmounted Was the base or one beyond. Now we stand as college seniors, The hard work of college o ' er; We call this day our commencement For beyond us is much more. We feel we are just now standing At the dawning of life ' s day, Many lessons will he taught us In the school on life ' s pathway. A ' ■Plus Ultra God has planred In thro- humble lives of ours, That we might press ever onward, Constantly improve our powers. When our consciousness first wakened To the fact of more beyond, We desired strength and courage As was in grown people found. Then came the desire for learning Creeping o ' er our small domain And it lifted our ideals Up into the mental plane. But this did not satisfy us For wirhin us is a soul Reaching out for satisfaction UL Like our Christ its only goal. W 7 e have gained much satisfaction As with Christ we ' ve journeyed on, But He has enlarged our vision Still there is much more beyond. But one day when cares are over, Through His all redeeming grace In His likeness we shall waken And shall see Him face to face. Then we shall find satisfaction As the psalmist also found, Like our Christ we ' ll be, and serve Hit In His home, the Great Bevond.

What achievements have been wrought without it ' s assistance: Wh.n famous sculptor ever wrought his master work of art, from an unformed and crude piece of stone, without he first saw the image in his mind ' s eye. The people of earth are demanding to know the outcome of the members of the class of 1912. The irisis has come. Shall they perish for want of knowledge:. We answer, No. Thanks to the spirit of prophecy given unto a tew. The vision is clear and distinct. Our sight is projected into the distant future, in which we behold wondrous things. Led by the spirit of propheq to the city of New York, I am rejoiced beyond compare to meet our former class president, Ernest R. Ryder, now bishop .if the Methodist Church. He presides over the largest conferences and has a wide field of usefulness. In a sedate and august manner he said to me: When did I ever make you late? Gypsy Smith and Torrcv were great evangelists in their time; but say, did you ever hear McNultv: I attended his meetings, which were held in Chicago, ami was actually amazed at the power with which he preached the Word. Thousands go to hear him and are made to rejoice in the power of God ' s salvation. assar College is a great college. Yet could it be so without a strong faculty: Mayme Householder, dean, is considered the must thoroughly educated member of the faculty, and enjoys the reputation of great scholarship among the prominent universities. And, by the way, w .1 n ' t that the greatest lecture last night that you ever h.we heard: The truth is that the Dr. 1.. Chester Lewis, LL.D., is the most prominent orator of modern times. His masterful eloquence, his power of mingling pathos and humor, along with a God-given desire to lift humanitv, has constituted him the wonder ol the age in lifting men to higher standards and loftier idea-. Mrs. English, wife of the Rev. Dr. English, has a marvelous ability to educate the people of India. She knows how to train the intellect and at the same time talk 10 them in regard to the great Christianity. She, together with her husband, has charge of our largest missionary school in Calcutta. Their accomplish- ments cannot lie faithfully rewarded until the last great day. The Rev. Paul [ameson is serving his fourth year as district superintendent of Fargo District, North Dakota. His executive ability and the zeal which he has for his work h.we brought abun- dant success to him. While visiting him recently, 1 was wonder- fulh attracted by the co( c (ziness of his home. 1 knew that he was in college and, therefore, had some experience in housekeeping, but this reallv surprised me. And now my burden. is exprest, with the additional infor- mation that the w riter is occupying a pastorate in the North Indiana (. ' (inference, trying to preserve the honor of his class. Surely it is evident that we as a class have tried to live our motto: The wise lav tip knowledge. M. A. O. I unior Class Poem Why are the wild winds howling? Why is the sky so grey ? Why has the hidden sun refused To cheer this dismal day ? But yester-e ' en the air was warm ; A most bewitching night ; The moon in grandeur thru the dale Diffused her pallid light. From yonder height we viewed the seen Thru-out the vale below, The merry brooklet wound its way With e ' er increasing flow. Along it ' s banks the cattle browsed, And sniffed the balmy air, Well pleased to change their winter hon For mother Nature ' s care. The tree that gave them shade by day Stood, thru the night, alone ; Like monarch, scorned by his peers When power and wealth are gone. The leaflets, quivering in the breeze, Were lisping nature ' s tongue, And vying with the brook to learn The song it e ' er had sung. For God has taught the brook a song Which man can never know; And, singing this, the brook moves on, With worship in its flow. And by the bridge it broadens out, Perhaps to chant ' ' amen ' ' , Then rushes thru a creviced rock To i agan The hamlet, clustered round the spir That points the heav ' nly way, In silent slumber gathered strength To meet the coming day. And far beyond, in outline dim, The foot-hills of the range Like vassals to their sovereign kneel, Receiving in exchange Protection neath its highest peaks When angry storms sweep by ; Or when the burning sun beats hot From out the Western sky. Can mortal in a lifetime paint The work which God hath wrought Through centuries of handicraft, Divine in deed and thought? No Raphael nor Angelo, Though following his art Throughout a vast eternity, Could move the hardened heart That fails to throb in ecstasy, When viewing such a scene As we beheld from yonder hill By moonlight yester-e ' en. What nutter tho 1 the wild wind howl : What tho ' ' tis dark to-day? Recalling former pleasant scenes Drives somber clouds away. If clouds should never dim our sun, If hearts should never break Because of sorrows met in lite, Pray tell me, could we make Our lives what God would have them b And could we stand the test Required of those who dwell with Him In that Eternal Rest 5 God sometimes dims the shining sun With clouds.

Swain _ Poet I. ML Hernandez - Sergeant at Arms Histc  f Frc Class At the beginning of the fall term in the vear 1910, there appeared at the office of Tavlor University tor registration, certain persons of reputation such as: Wisner, the grammarian; rCenna, the southern orator; Cross, the man who, though always Cross, is ever happy; Swain, the poet; Hernandez, the gentleman from Porto Rico; Weed, the commercial man; Morris, the mechanic; Brown, the musician; Mc ey, the historian; Mfs ard, the stu- dent; Miss Talbott, the singer, and Miss Brooks, the stenographer, besides Miss Sarah Hill. All of the above mentioned gave evi- dence ot the fact that thev were prepared to enter the race tor a degree ot some sort. Hence they were called Freshmen. Early in the school year, the class Has visited by the hand of death, as was the case two years ago. This time Sarah Hill, of New York, was called to Pass beneath the curtain of the green, which never outward swings, hut is ever open tor othets to enter. Though the class mourns the loss of one of its most prominent members, yet we can only say God doeth all things well. Knowledge is one ot the greatest things in the world. It is like an arithmetical progression. It goes on to infinity. In tact, only God knows all things. In seeking to know and understand, men have turned away from the tollies of the world, sacrificed main ot it jo s, gone through vears ot incessant toil and even delivered up lite itselt. We firmly believe that the Freshman class is composed ot men and women who are pressing on toward the goal. Ot course, as we make a few small steps, our vision en- larges so much, that we teel farther away from it than before. But we are looking fir, and yea, we feel assured that we shall have eternal progress. The ambitions and desires ot most ot the class will no doubt be expressed in the following lines: — We know not what our college life may be In d.ivs .ni.t months and years, Mavhap the castles we have built Will vanish 111 tin- air. It matters nut, it through it all, We realize our Master ' s care. We know nut what our outer life may lie In the days that come and go, Perhaps r. , the world our life may seem Of little 10- to be; We care not, Master, if by strife We gain some victories for Thee. We know not what our inner life may be V here on earth we live, Or whether above the current of God ' s love We shall troubled waters meet. Enough, if through eternal years, We sit and learn at Jesus ' feet. I. M. McV. Freshman Mirror Flora O.

She was in her classes up to noun of Tues- day, Oct. 2q. The Reaper Death came this time with a sharp instrument which did its work quickly. Sara was the youngest ' it a family of five children, three hoys and two girls. The father, Rev. I. W. Hill, is pastor .if St. Paul ' s 1. E. Church, Athens, X. V. Only her sister, Nellie, who was also a student, was with he in the last tr ing hours. After graduating from High School, Sara entered the Freshman class ot T. I . in September, 1910. During the short time she- was with us, she win mam friends by her cheerful disposition and the lining kindness and thoughtful deeds which characterized her lite. The sudden snatching away of one who was the picture ot healthy voung womanhood, and whose lite was so full of promise, came as a great shock, not onl) ' to the grief-stricken relatives, but also to her teachers and fellow students. On Sunday afternoon a memorial service was conducted in the chapel b Prof. B. W. Ayres. On Monday as the body was taken to the train, the Faculty and students followed in double column to the station. The funeral sermon was preached at White Sulphur Springs, N. Y., the old home, by Rev. Henry Williams. Interment was made in the White Sulphur Springs cemetery , F. H. In Memoriam I vo sisters came among us Her strength ebbed fast and faster, In the tall of nineteen ten.

Rodnev Anderson first saw light through the crevices of .1 log cabin among the foothills of Colorado, about the time of the first snowfall in 18S9. He received his early education at the Norwood Public School, spent one year in the Montrose High School, then graduated from the Denver Modern School of Busi- ness. While at the latter school he received the knowledge that has aided him so much in managing the business affairs ot the 191 I Gem. Mr. Anderson (better known as Westy ) has shown himself capable of performing successfully the different duties ascribed to him. He has served his literary society as contestant and president, besides filling the minor offices, He expects to take a regular college course, after which he will probably return West and spread the good tidings of salvation among the cow-boys. MISS CLARA ELDA SAUER Miss Clara Sauer is a native of the Hoosier State, coming from the vicinity of Madison, Indiana. She received her early education, and also her High School training, in that city. Leav- ing her native surrounding?, she entered the Montana Deaconess Hospital, from which she graduated in June, igio. She entered Tavlor University in the same year and graces the Senior Academy Class, being the only rose among so many thorns. Her future life depends largely upon her decisions. Nothing she does or seems but speaks ot something greater than herself. BURL M. BECHDOLT Pulaski Co., Ind., deserves great credit for sending forth such a man as Burl M. Bcchdolt. For his future consult the prophecy of the Senior Academy Class, but for his past accomplishments keep on reading. After graduating from the common schools he took one year of high school work in Winamac High School. From this place he went to Valparaiso University, where he spent one year taking teachers ' training work. This year he is numbered among the Dignified Seniors of Taylor University, haying spent three years doing academy work in this place. Besides his academy work he has been preaching, and at present holds a student-appoint- ment in the North Indiana Conference of which he is a member. ALFRED . PATTON Alfred V. Patton was horn in Liverpool, England. At an s he mined with hi parent;, to Ireland, where he lived for tv rs. From Ireland he came to Canada and thence to Oskali a, Iowa. Mr. Patton did his common school work in England and Ire- land. Atter spending tour years in the Central Holiness University at Oskaloosa, Iowa, he came to Taylor University, where he com- pletes the academy course this year. He has two years ' credits in the English Theological course. He is preparing for the ministry and contemplates joining the North Indiana Conference of the Methodist Church. Mr. Patton is no exception to the rest of the tribe, the proverbial Irish wit being very evident in his recitations, conversation, and preaching. Somehow Pat seems to make friends with everybody, and the worst we can sa for him is that he is wise and witty. The world will hear from Mr. Patton, his reputation alread extending as tar as Canada and, Ireland.. REUBEN A. WALTER Reuben A. Walter is not exactly the man without a country, but it would be hard to find his polling station. During his short life he has been a wanderer, but at last has reached his Mecca and is now drinking at the fountains of knowledge. He started lite in Iowa, then moved to Minnesota, then to Wisconsin, all of which states gave him his first principles of education. He wielded the rod as school teacher tor three and one-halt months, but his craving tor an education carried him back to Iowa, where he entered Cen- tral Holiness University and completed more than two years of his academe course.

Elmendorf, a graduate of Public School No. 3, New- York City, spent over a vcar in Stuyvesant High School; entered Taylor University in 1908. He is a typical New Yorker, and noted for his broad smile and jolly ways. Soon after arriving at Taylor he was nicknamed Peter in honor of Peter Stuyvesant, and is now commonly known by that name. He is now president of the Philalethean Society. After graduating from the Academy this year, he intends to enter college and ultimately enter the ministry. Senior Academy Class Prophecy Once again I was hack at Taylor, after an absence (it thirtv vears. I was surprised to sec the great improvements, both on the campus and on the buildings. When I reached the main building I received a greater surprise, to find my old classmate, Reuben Walters, professor of mathematics, although nothing was too great for the class of I 9 I i . Once in conversation with him 1 soon learned of the successes of the Senior Academy class. Miss Sauer was a missionary in China, and at present was in charge of a Nurses ' Training Hume. In this capacity she was doing a great amount of good. Elmendorf had gone West, and there among the frontiersmen had won tor himself a name. His name to them was a svnonym tor goodness. Anderson preached for a while in the West, but soon returned East, and completed his theological work at Drew. Returning to Colorado he accom- plished a great work in the ministry. It report is true, he will be in charge of the Theological Department at Tavlor in the near future. Bechdolt has caused his name to be honored hv his preach- ing and great moral reforms. Hernandez, after completing his medical course, returned to Porto Rico, and is doing a great work among his people. Eternity alone will reveal the results of his faithful labors. And I am glad to learn of your success in the ministry, said Walters. Thank you, said I, this report has been the means of greatly encouraging me; I shall go out to labor more taithtullv because of hearing it. Our conversation ceased and we parted, each feeling proud that he was privileged to be a member of the Senior Academy class of [91 1. A. V. P.

Theological Depart ment Never in (he history of the Church was there such great need cit adherence to the word of God .is there is today. The Theological Department of Taylor I niversity holds to the inspiration of the whole Bible. The men and women who are trained in this Department go out, not doubting the plain Bible account of Creation, the Fall ot Man, the virgin birth of Christ, and other revealed facts. It is because of this that the labors of those who in the past have gone out both in the homeland and the foreign fields have been crowned with glorious success, for God honors those who honor Him and Preach the Word . Man of the students in the present class will soon engage in the work to which thev have been called, some as ministers, others as special Christian workers. No one can estimate the value to the world of the lives and labors ot this body ot consecrated young people.

Department oi Instrumental Music The man that hath no music in his soul, Nor is not moved with concord .it ' sweet sounds, I, tit for treasons, stratagems, and spoils. — lude. [...u,. Have vim not noticed that almost everyone is either possessed with musical talent, or is especially fond of music: We find the art of music, in sonic of its branches, studied more than anv other art. Whv is this? Because music has been used since the earliest ages to express the emotions of the human being. In music we can express sorrows and joys that seem too deep tor words. It always appeals to the liner tendencies of man ' s nature, and has an elevating influence. But it we wish to know- best how to express our feel- ings in this wav, we must study the science of music, with all of its technicalities. Especially is this true in the instrumental branch. Thus we see whv the Department of Instrumental Music has become of so great importance in Taylor University. This department has increased perhaps more than anv other, the num- ber of students this year being exceptionally large. The music of itself has been of a high grade, as shown bv the recitals which have been given during the year. These recitals are also a great benefit in helping the students to appear in a natural, easv manner before the public. The Literary societies also give opportunity for similar drill. Musical History and Harmonv are required tor the completion of a musical course. Both of these studies are of great importance, as thev aid the student not only to a correct under- standing of the underlying principles, but also in the interpretation of the soulful depths of music. I. A. Vocal Music Department popu- The School of ocal Music, under the supervision of 1 Olmstead, has become one of the most important departn our university. The courses arc arranged in a systematic and .ire unsurpassed by those of jnv similar institution. Tr larity of the instruction received is shown bv the : fourth ot the students arc taking private lessons, while man arc taking chorus work. During the year mam recitals ha given.

The thers been ladies ' quarter of igog- ' io, consisting of Miss Olmstead, Miss Miller and the Misses Williams made a tour during the mouth of |unc, and received the plaudits of all who heard them sing. The male quartet was engaged in Prohibition Chautauqua work during |unc and spent the latter part of the summer in camp-meeting and concert work. The erection of the new- music hall will add to the facilities of the vocal department, and will probably be an added induce- ment to those who are desirous of developing the sweetest of all musical instruments — the human voice.

L. I.. C, W. Thalonian Literary Society i s o-igi 1 It is often with reluctance that the historian records the deeds of the past. As he views the centuries of the past with his retro- spective telescope there comes into bold relief incidents, characters, and organizations which have been negative factors in the onward march of civilization. On the other hand, there are those which stand out in the midst of the evil with an Apollonian brightness, .1 brightness that causes much of the darkness to flee to its Plutonian home. Jt is the purpose of this short sketih to let the reader of these pages who has never been privileged to count himself a Tavlorite, know, that in the middle of the nineteenth century, at Fort avnc, Indiana, there came into existence the Thalonian Literary Society, an organization that has been a positive factor in the historv ol our beloved Tavlor University, and in the lives of manv of her leading students. Humbly, but with pleasure, we make known the fait that the Thalonian is the oldest of Taylor ' s literan organizations. She is the mother of them all. As with all great organizations her beginning was small; but her ranks have been strengthened bv the addition of strong young men and women. She has been guided by the wisdom of intelligent minds, and held to such a standard of intellectual development that her fame has passed far bevond these halls of learning. In the literary contests of the school, the Thalos have a record upon which the ' may look with pleasure. Were we to call up all the past we would find that the trophies of many contests lav bask- ing in the splendor of the Thalo shrine. Our success has been due to our fidelity to truth and devotion to our work. We have labored to make the Thalonian Societv a means to an end. In so doing we have had a true ideal, and as a consequence the Societv has kept to a high standard and helped to develop her members into cultured men and women, competition with whom is pleasant but unfortu- nate to the competitor. The Thalonian Literarv Societv has done for its members abundantly above what they expected. She has put strength into the trembling knees, loosened the stammering tongue, cleared the clouded brain, and sent the once bashful youth out into the battles ot lite with an intellectual equipment that makes him a potent force in the onward move ot society. We cannot always remain at Tavlor and enjoy the communion ot fellow Th.iloni.tns; we must awav to the call of duty. But as we labor beneath the heat of an Indian sun, sicken in Africa ' s fevered clime, plead before twelve men and true , proclaim that which is the savor of life unto life or of death unto death , teach the mysteries of books to the eager vouth of the land, receive the laborers ' earnings across our counter, till the soil or prepare the meal, it will give us pleasure and inspiration to think back to the good old davs spent together as true loval Thalos.

Preparation tor a citizen ' s duties in this twentieth century can- not be complete to the college man without training tor leadership in united social and political reforms. The Prohibition League oriel ' s practically the only specific opportunity tor such preparation. Its one purpose is a broad and practical stud} of the liquor problem as a preparation tor earnest, active and intelligent leadership in the overthrow ot the saloon and its attendant social and political evils. The oratorical contest system ot the Inter-Collegiate Prohibition Association is the largest scheme ot college and university oratorical meets ever put in operation in America. It offers the highest and widest possible opportunity for competition and honors in that it brings together all the colleges and universities ot the country, in which there are organizations, into one system. It goes one step higher than any other oratorical system among students. It embraces local college, state, interstate and national contests. Ot these contests our local league ot Taylor University has been victorious in all but three state contests, and has had the honor of representing Indiana in five interstate contests. In 190} B. H.

I ' R O H I B I T I O LEAGUE Athletics Athletics were emphasized more in Tavlor University this vear than ever before, and a great deal of enthusiasm was manifested. Systematic physical training was introduced, three classes being conducted twice a week throughout the Winter and Spring terms. The two men ' s classes had an enrollment ot fourtv-four and were in charge ot the physical director. The class tor ladies was under the direction ot Prot. Cobb and was quite well attended. Outdoor sports attracted considerable attention and most ot the students enjoyed them greatly. Baseball was very popular and several teams were organized. The contests between the old and new students caused much good natured rivalry, the newcomers losing the first game bv a single run and being decisively defeated in the second. Basket-ball had quite a host of followers and the games were remarkably free from rough playing. In the inter-club contests the Academy defeated the College, while the Philos triumphed over the Thalos. The tennis courts were put in good con- dition and this game was the favorite pastime of a large number ot students. Some ot the ladies found croquet quite alluring. The outlook for athletic activity is most encouraging because the students are beginning to realize how important a trained body is as an aid to mental power, high purpose, and self respect. The ceaseless energy ot our modern life demands a strong physique, and if we would do a full life ' s work we must strive to attain that which is most essential to it — a sound mind in a sound bodv. A. A. H. ADAM A. HUNTER The Athletic Department ot Tavlor has received a remarkable uplift through the advent of Mr. Hunter. All efforts to place this department on a solid basis had, to a great extent, failed. Mr. Hunter, however, against great odds, bv putting his heart and soul into his work has this feature of the school in fine shape. His good nature reflects itself in all the games and so makes them much more enjoyable to both player and onlooker.

Our Praver Band furnishes him the opportunity which he needs; here he meets with those who have been over the mad before him; he hears them tell their experiences; he tells In- own; tin: similarity often encourages him, and after a tew moments ot earnest prayer in which he pours out his heart to God, he feels greatly uplifted and. better prepared to fight the battles of life. Many times after an honest day ' s work, in which the student has exhausted all ot his surplus energj pouring over Latin and Greek roots, he finds relief in the evening Prayer Bane; here the refreshing dews ot heaven tall upon his thirsty soul, acting a a gentle tonic. The poor tellow goes awav invigorated, rilled with the Spirit ot ' God, and thrilled with a new hope; he feels rested, all is calm and peaee within, and he is readv to attack the next da ' s work w ith greater zeal. The Prayer Band of Taylor Univcrsit) is recognized as a mighty piritual motor; almost even member is a bright and shining light, who in our praver-mcctings, which meet even Moiul.n and Fridav nights, touch the button b faith, which leads to the power, and go out to disseminate rays of light through everv department of uni- crsit lite; or it nia be compared to a great storehouse, which is kept h our Master, who feeds those who meet here from time to time upon the fruits of Canaan; in turn they go out, taking a great oi love, joy, and peace, and scatter it among their tellow students.

This is an organization with which no Christian school is unacquainted, but which seems to play .1 peculiar part in the school life of Taylor University. It was organized in 1900 and since that time has been an important factor in keeping before the students the great missionary spirit of Bishop William Taylor, from whom the school received its name. Taylor is a missionary school, as is proved b the fact that nine of her people have sailed from here to foreign fields within the last year and a halt, more than have gone from all the other schools in the state of Indiana during that time. At the present time thirty- six of the students are members of the Band, si of whom God has called to the mission fields this vear. The devotional meeting is held every Monday evening from 6.30 to 7. }o. Every Jay from 12 to [2.15 a missionary prayer meeting is held, which has proved a means of grace to all who attend. The mission studv class meets on Friday evening from 6. 30 to 7. 1 i in charge of Professor Wrav. During the year two returned missionaries have visited the school, one from Korea, and the other, Mr. Kipp, from South Africa. They have both been an inspiration to us, and we are working and praying tor the realization of our motto, The Evangelization of the World in this Generation. F. H. Till ST1 li I. N T V O I. I NT I.

The following summer the quartet was kept busy filling engagements in all parts of Indiana and part of Ohio. The month ot |une was spent in Prohibition Chautauqua work. The latter part of the summer was given to camp-meeting and concert work. During the school year the quartet has been engaged for a number of special occasions. Lack of space forbids the quotation of the favorable compliments of the press, but the class of this quartet is shown b the fact that it has been engaged for a second appearing in many of the places where it has served the people.  W- 1 -in - r Taylor University Orchestra Prof. Bessie Foster ------ Directress At the opening of school in September several of the students Miss Hazel Newlon ------ Pianist who played instruments conceived the idea of organizing an orches- Vere Abbey - - - - - - - 1st Violin tra.

Richardson ------ Trap-drummer ORCHESTRA B K 1 IT A I A CLU R Our Constituency While Taylor is distinctively Methodist in her doctrines and organization, she is cosmopolitan and inter-denominational in the make-up of her student body. With a world-wide view of the great commission ol Christ, to preaeh the gospel to every creature, she has thrown her doors open to all desirous ol an education without respect to race, color, or clime. As a result, students have come here to be educated from a large number ol the foreign countries. Many ol them come as recent converts and coming in touch with the fervent spiritual atmosphere and evange- listic spirit, they return to their native homes established in the Christian lite and well equipped lor spreading the gospel. This year there are representatives from Canada, Ireland, Mexico, Porti) Rico, Barb.nloes, China, Persia, Russia, and Africa. Among these will be found some of the brightest students of the school. Most ot them are preparing to return home and preaeh the gospel to their unsaved fellow men. Mutual benefits are derived from the presence of such a con- stituency. The foreign students receive the benefits of the culture and refinement ot the American students, while they, in return, impart to us a knowledge and insight into the foreign customs that is ol great value in the work of the ministry . Several denominations are represented in the student body, but the Methodist is predominant. However, the spirit of fellowship is such that it is almost impossible to distinguish a Baptist from a Methodist. The family spirit oi Christianity is so manifested that denominational differences are seldom mentioned. The Spirit, not the letter; the Christ, not the creed, are the predominant features ot the religious lite and teaching ot Taylor University. Visitors are constrained to exclaim, Behold, how good and how pleasant i: is tor brethren to dwell together in unin 1 F. A. W. Revival Echoes One of the chief characteristics of Taylor is the revival spirit. Each year special series of revival services are held, sometimes by previous arrangement, other times they break out spontaneously. The year of 1 9 1 o- 1 ] will long be remembered by those whose privilege it was to be present, on account of the great outpouring of the Spirit. The first series of meetings was under the leadership of Rev. and Mrs. C. E. Rowley. Under their singing and preaching we had a season of refreshing from the presence of the Lord. Man) students were led out into the light of full salvation, and the spiritual tone of the school was greatly elevated. Rev. S. Rice, editor of the Guide to Holiness, also preached some helpful and fruitful sermons during this series. The next meeting took place during the winter term. The instrument in God ' s hands for carrying on the work was Professor George Shaw , who came to us as a new member of the faculty. This meeting was of the spontaneous kind. It was spontaneous in its origin, but will be eternal in its results. Under the mighty preaching of Professor Shaw the whole school was led out into the deep things of God. The Spirit had His way, and some of the scenes which took place as a result of His presence are inde- scribable. Sinners trembled under conviction and were saved; believers hungered and thirsted after righteousness until they were filled; the saints were led out into a larger place in divine things, and the glorv of God seemed to envelop the whole community. In the class rooms, the dormitories, and private homes the power fell and the slain of the Lord were many. Pravers had been ascending to the throne of God for a manifes- tation of His presence and the answer came; the power tell, the Spirit broke the fetters and the captive souls rejoiced in the liberty of the gospel of Christ. The new and larger conception ot the gospel that came to those who are going out to preach will, in itself, increase their efficiency many fold. Dr. Vavhinger and Professor Wrav have contributed to the maintenance of the revival spirit with messages of power and help- fulness. With three such men as Dr. Vayhinger, Professor Wrav, and Professor Shaw as a preaching force, Taylor is well equipped for maintaining a healthy religious atmosphere, and for teaching young men and women how to proclaim the gospel of Christ in a manner that will appeal to the hungering multitudes and win them from the paths of sin to the paths of righteousness. F. A. W. Man ' s Relation to Man The life ot even individual is more or less closelv related to that of his neighbor. There was a time when this principle was not recognized, when might made right, and when self aggrandize- ment was the rule of lite; hut advancing civilization has changed the ok! order ot things. Tod.n there is a higher conception of the relationship of man to man. Ere the middle of the nineteenth cen- tury this fact was clearly demonstrated in our own land. On the morn ot ' 6[ America was aroused from north to south because of ■lie slaver} issue. Our fathers willingly gave their lives for the free- dom of their darker brothers. While these brave and heroic men were thus sacrificing their lives on the battlefield tor the freedom of the negro slaves, in Congress the representatives of the people were legalizing an insti- tution of moral slavery, the American saloon. Compared with this slavery mere physical bondage fides into utter insignificance. The measure drafted by this body in behalf .if the liquor interests was signed by our beloved Lincoln upon the pledge that as soon as the war was ended this measure should be repealed. But more than forty years have passed since then and the pledge is unredeemed and the enactment stands. This action, we hold, was in direct opposition to the spirit and the letter of that greatest national embodiment ot ethical teachings, the Constitution of the United States, and positively contrary to the basic principles of truth and justice upon which our government stands. Yet, notwithstanding this tact, for the small sum which it has paid and is paying into the treasury of the nation, this powerful evil has been allowed to perpetrate its work of pollution, degradation, and destruction of society, and is, in even phase, shielded and protected by the laws of this so-called Christian America. hat crime, what distress, what ruin are wrought with the sanction and in the name ot the Stars and Stripes. The revenue accruing from this breeder-of-crime has gone into the public school fund tor the education ot the children ot our land. It is upon this point that the brewery trusts make their plea tor the preservation ot this terrible curse; but it is upon this same point that we plead tor the extermination ot this deadly toe. The acceptance ot this revenue tor educational purposes has created tor us a grave situation. It is one which staggers the reason ot the innocent child, and one which, it properly grasped by our own minds, should put us to utter shame. Come with me, it you please, to the public school and see little |ohn with his twisted spine, the result ot a cruel blow from a drunken tather. See him sitting there upon the step, alone, eagerly watching the other children play; see the look of anguish upon his childish face, and hear him as he cries out ot his crushed spirit, My God, my God, why cannot 1 be a.- they? Follow- him at the close ot the day to his dark hovel. See him in the light ot the candle standing before an empty cupboard crving tor bread. See the thousands ot children in similar homes in our tair land tonight, blind, deformed, demented, and damned for less than one dollar per head ot revenue; while yonder in his palace in Pasadena, California, Adolphus Busch, the brewery king of the world, celebrating his fiftieth wedding anniversary, places upon the head ot his wife a two-hundred-thousand-dollar crown ot gold. But mark von, it is a crown ot gold dripping with the blood ot the innocent. Mv God! What a svstem! We have sown to the wind and are reaping the whirlwind. The night is tar spent. Let us awake out ot sleep; repent in sackcloth and ashes, and do works worthy of repentance, which can be none other than the exercise of our God-given right, the casting ot our ballot against this nefari- ous system. Those connected with this iniquitous institution call our atten- tion also to the number ot churches and works ot charity that are aided from the coffers of their business. Does this not, the more clearly, show the arrogance ot the system? ft is the avowed enemy of the Christian church. It furnishes no clothes tor the naked; it provides no bread tor the hungrv. It makes criminals ot our boys, adulterers ot our men, harlots ot our daughters. It sends, yearly, thousands to premature drunkards ' graves. It does more than all other causes combined to break down that most sacred ot all institutions, the home. This legalized system ot wrong plants itself in our midst through fraud, bribery and deceit. It rides over the head of all opposition; reaches into the nursery ot the home, seizes upon the helpless and the innocent, and thrusts upon society a multitude of social degenerates and moral lepers. It leaves its subjects, finally, in the depths of shame and disgrace to die, to die without hope, victims ot its insatiable greed. The saloon is the greatest known impediment to the economic progress of any community. It lessens the earning capacity ot all who patronize it. Physical wrecks, intellectual dwarfs, and spiritual reprobates are the invariable result of its operation, and correctional, charitable and penal institutions thrive as a result. All such insti- tutions the people of the community are compelled to support. The saloon is a consumer and not a producer ot wealth. It takes the wealth, the result of honest toil, out of the community and places it in the hands oi the brewers and distillers of our large cities. It thus violates the elemental and fundamental law of politi- cal economy. Not only so, hut through the exorbitant price placed upon the beverage, the men who drink are forced to bear the cost of the production and sale of the beverage; and also to pav the taxes and revenue tor the saloon-keepers and brewers of the land. So at our expense and with our consent this organized system of wrong stands in the way of economic progress, impoverishing the community, while the brewery trusts of our large cities grow fat. This diabolical institution, the liquor traffic, as declared bv both moral and civil law, is criminal in its nature and criminal in its effects. It is an inherent wrong, a menace to society, threatening continual!;, the public good. Such an institution should, no- be tolerated, much less legalized, by an enlighted people. Such toler- ation is the mark of an imperfect civilization, and the marvel and wonder of the coming ages will be, that tor so long a time the sovereign people of the land have with so little opposition allowed this gigantic evil to prey upon the vitals of the nation. That this institution is evil is recognized by the brewers and salo m-keepers themselves; tor they are now crving out fir reform. Reform! This off-spring of perdition, this demon of rum cannot be reformed ! Low license, high license, and local option have all been tried, and in the larger and ultimate sense have alike tailed. Compromise measures will not suffice. We have but to refer to the conditions in our own state to see the force of this statement. A special ses- sion ot a Republican Legislature passed a county option law. Two years later, the representatives of this partv, in convention, abso- lutely ignored the temperance question, and deserted the law which they had made. The representatives of the Democratic partv, in convention, in order to gain the support of the liquor interests of the state, pledged themselves to the repeal of the county option law and to the substitution ot the township and ward unit. We know too well the result. Our law was drafted by a brewer attorney; it was voted through by brewery sympathizers, and today, despite the will of the majority of the people of the state, we are again in the clutches of this terrible curse. What is true of Indiana w ill be true of any state or locality where the liquor interests hold the balance ot power, influence legislation and control the officers whose duty it is to enforce the law. Again I sav, compromise measures will not suffice. The crisis is upon us. America ' s strongest men arc joining with her perishing millions in their cry for absolute pro- hibition, county, state, and nation-wide, and they will be satisfied with nothing less. The hour for concerted action has arrived. Then I appeal to you as American citizens in behalf of your homes, in behalf of your children, in the interests ot society, tor the defense of the church, in the name ot America, in the name of (iod awake from your stupor, arouse from your lethargy, arise, and, armed with your ballot as your only sure defense, make the Prohi- bition partv the majority partv or make the majority partv a Pro- hibition partv. Then as one mighty army ot Prohibitionists, wage this might) ' conflict ot the right against the wrong until this pro- tected destroyer of life, this corrupter ot the youth, this degrader ot society, this menace to the government, the legalized saloon, is outlawed and banished from our fair land forever.

The rich man spends millions ot dollars in securing gems ot art, rare species of the plant life, and antique relics to render his structures beautiful. He considers not time and monev, nor even peril in seeking and securing the desired treasures. To build well is his sole ambition and aim. Not everyone has the privilege of thus selecting the beautiful things ot art and of creating a splendid earthly dwelling; but every man has the opportunity ot becoming the architect of a still grander, nobler structure, a Christian character, to which Paul may have referred, when he said, Know ve not that ye are a temple ot God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in your As in erecting an earthly building, so in fashioning this house for the indwelling ot God, the first essential is to lay a solid foun- dation. Other foundation can no man lay than that which is laid, which is Christ [esus, so reads the great text-book tor human architects. He who places his character upon Mocks ot wood, self-righteousness, with only a pillar or two ot stone, morality and temperance, mav have a verv good imitation; but when the strong winds of the Evil One blow and rage about him, his edifice becomes wrenched and marred, the wooden supports rot, and the pillars ot stone sink into the mire ot unconquered temptations. It he turns to God, then will the strong arms ot the Heavenly Father place the lever ot divine love under the shattered building, drive the piles ot faith down to the solid rock of Christ, underpin it with the wall ot prayer, and strengthen it with the promises in His word. How caretullv does the mason select his blocks of stone, and how patiently he lays them in place! How scornfully he spurns the crumbling rock or the blemished slab! Thus must the character builder select the good, and reject the bad. He must give minute attention to every detail, prayerful thought to every act and word. Each night should find him one dav nearer to his goal; tor as our best beloved poet has said, I ' m the structure that we raise, Time is with materials tilled; Our tnd.ivs and yesterdays Are the blocks With which We build. The character builder has tor his guide, the Great Architect, |esus Chris . His hands, which labored so faithfully for many years in the erection ot earthly buildings, are readv to help His human apprentices; His eyes can detect and point out the faulty material; and His knowledge is all-wise. Then, also, He has sent the Holy Spirit to sweep out from this grand dwelling all the shav- ings, cobwebs, dust, and oilv waste of inbred sin, which other- wise might cause spontaneous combustion, and destroy the treasured handiwork ot the builders. lust as an artist steps aside to view his masterpiece, and tries it in various lights, giving it a touch here and there to strengthen some good point or to dim some weak place, so ought we to inspect carefully the structure which we are erecting, patiently retouch it, smooth a jagged stone in this place, fill up a gapping crevice in that, and form it all into one beautiful, perfect edifice; for character will not endure only for a day, but throughout endless ages. We are building tor eternity. Violet Ward. When Westy ' s Mother Came Good day, Professor, conic right in, And please excuse the looks Of things about the room, for we ' ve Been busy with our books.

While uc sail ,, ' ,-r Life ' s broad ocean Seeking for that wanton fame Oft we meet with those that love us, Though that can ne ' r remain; We can scarce retrain from feeling In our hearts so full of ween, That the danger of our seeking Comes in triumph of the mean.

Fail to catch the humble spirit Shown in Jesus long ago.

The Power of a Great Passion Some characters are mightv; some are massive; some are monu- mental; some stand out like beacon lights on a rugged foreland; some, like a mountain peak that lifts its head, snow-topped and bathed in sunshine, above its fellows, rise high above the ordinary masses and stand, sunlit and glorv crowned, benefactors of their age and an honor to their country. Such men are passionate men and they have walked across the spaces of time, leaving imperish- able footprints which the tawnv sands of the ages have never filled nor the breath of the tempests ever effaced. The world needs passionate men. It has seen enough of pious proprieties and frigid formalities and it has not been helped thereby. Instead it has been led to believe in the awful syllogism that because there is so much unreality therefore everything is unreal and, as a result, many of the very tenets of our faith are looked upon with incredulity. The world wants men who know what they believe and who really believe what they believe; men with convictions that grasp the foundations of their natures; men with a prevailing passion that grips and sets on tire every fibre of their being; men gripped by a great passion which results in great zeal and intense earnestness tor the cause which they espouse. Such men and such alone will move the world tor righteousness and toward God. () lor men dominated by a great passion! This has been a charac- teristic of all the great men of the ages. There is one great passion which I would like to bring before you. It is a passion that ought to characterize every church and every Christian; a passion that ought to grip the heart ot ever) ' student at Taylor and especially those who are being trained to go forth to work for God. This passion is the passion for souls. When Jesus Christ left the earth with the church of God scarcely founded, He left the task in the hands of twelve men fir its com- pletion. Had these twelve men been as passionless as you and I, had thev been no more zealous fir God than you and 1, how would the church of Christ have fared? Yet there never was a greater need for disciples, for disciples whose hearts burn with the Spirit of their Master, than there is today. God did not save us simply in order that we might reach heaven. Had that been His only purpose He would have taken us to heaven when He saved us. We are saved to serve; saved in order that we might be co-laborers together with God in His great vineyard; saved to be the light of the world and saved that we might with tender heart and kindly hand point some wandering sinner to the Lamb ot God that taketh away the sins of the world. Perhaps vou ask, Whv should I be a soul-winner? Let me give first a vcrv mercenary reason. Vim ought to be a soul-winner because of the reward given to such. He that winneth souls is wise. And thev that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars mtl , our conversation: Can the young man be blamed, who, when forever and ever.
