In presenting this year ' s annual, we realize that de- spite our every effort it falls far short of her just deserts and of our own high ideal. Nevertheless we trust that it will meet with the warm approval of friends and be cherished in loyal hearts, inspiring many of this gen- eration to follow its beacon of Life Service over ' mountain, or plain, or sea.

In order to be thus venerable it must date back to its earliest tributary, the Fort Wayne Female College founded in 1846, which united six years later with a younger collegiate institution to form Fort Wayne Methodist College, co-educational. Under the presidency of Dr. Thaddeus C. Reade the name was changed to Taylor University in 1890, and for reasons not clear to us now it was moved from Fort Wayne to Upland, Indiana. Its campus has grown to more than one hun- dred sixty acres, including the farm. The original building, Maria Wright Hall, stands with the newer buildings back in a beautiful grove near the corner of the grounds, one mile south of the Upland station. The surrounding country is dotted by a number of thrifty manufacturing cities, and a typical specimen of America ' s best civilization is found in the adjoining communities. The institution has always been known for its spiritual emphasis. In its early days as Taylor University it was the subject of the prayers and counsels of its illustrious namesake, Bishop William Taylor. Its abundant missionary spirit and its record for educating more students for the ministry and mission field than any other college in proportion to its size have been wholly in keeping with the spirit and example of Bishop William Taylor, the apostle to the whole world. Taylor University like the majority of schools that have been built around an ideal has had a good share of tribulation and trial. However, it has had almost none of that type of fanaticism that splits institutions into factions. It has always held together and gone straight ahead with its work. Its generosity to needy students down through the years seiwed to bring it into financial trouble ; but lately it has been reorganized under the Legal Hundred described elsewhere in this volume, and its policies have been shaped for permanency. Taylor looks out upon this great age of the world read}- to serve, believing in the Bible as the word of God, organized to endure the passing years. Without any phariseeism its supporters believe that the institution has a peculiar mission among the colleges of the nation and the world, and the increasing number of choice young men and women who come to the school from all sections proclaim in the most eloquent terms that the school has its field, reminding us at the same time that in the nature of the case it cannot be a mere provincial affair. The world is its parish. John Paul. | i im i i i m i i uuum m w llllllllllllll3HUHfflfni l! Page Seventeen I A % BISHOP 1D1LLIAM TAYLOR IN AFRICA IIIIIIIIIIIHIIIIIH Page Eighteen fiBfcffigg bishop lUillidm Taylor Bishop William Taylor has heen called the greatest modern world herald of the Cross, the greatest Methodist since Wesley, and the greatest missionary since Paid. In Angola where there was a terrible water famine he taught them to dig wells, and his name among the Ambundu is still The Well-Digger. The natives of Liberia know him as The Long Walker and the Zulus called him The Flaming Torch. Bishop Taylor began his faith-filled ministry in ' 49, the gold mining days of California. With his mission workers he boldly entered the lowest dives and gambling places to preach the Christ of Calvary. From California William Taylor went to Australia where he continued for two and one-half years, reaping precious harvests of souls. In 1865 he went to the dark continent that David Livingstone so fervently held up to the heart of God. He blazed pathways through the veldt, the jungle, the wilderness. He threw across Africa the first line of defense, the chain of mission stations that today is checking the Moslem hordes that are sweeping down upon that pagan land. At the call of Dr. James M. Thoburn, Bishop Taylor went to India in 1870. He founded self-supporting churches in Calcutta, Lucknow, Bombay, Poona. Madras and Allahabad. Out of his work grew seven strong conferences. i Three great events of William Taylor ' s life occured in May. May 2nd he was born in Rockbridge county, Virginia. On May 21st the General Conference of 1884 recommended the appointment of a Missionary Bishop to Africa. Bishop Taylor was not exactly persona grata to the conservative element of the Confer- ence ; he was too big to be bound by official and ecclesiastical red tape ; but conser- vatism that day bent its will to the flood tide of enthusiasm for William Taylor, and he was elected by a vote of 250 to 44 over his nearest competitor. The last great event of his life occurred also in May. On May 19, 1902. Bishop Taylor died in glory, as the stars die at sunrise, as the black folk said of David Livingstone. For nearly a score of years all that was mortal of him has rested in Mountain View, Calif., the Nebo vale at the foot of the Pisgah from which he surveyed a wider and fairer heritage than Moses ever saw. But William Taylor is not dead : his spirit is vital throughout Christendom. He lives in San Francisco and Sidney and Melbourne and Bombay and Calcutta and Singapore, in Callao and Valpar- aiso, in Capetown and Inhambane, and he will be as much at home in the twenty- fifth as in the twentieth century, for he is a plumed chieftan in the shining com- pany of those who have forgotten themselves into immortalitv. E It is this spirit-crowned ambassador of the cross for whom Taylor University was named. It is said that this world missionary, even in the face of life ' s larger calls, saw fit to pray thrice daily for the little institution that had taken the vows of world conquest in the name of Christ. Like Daniel of old this prophet of full salvation turned his face to the heavenlies to plead divine direction and blessing on the institution that had taken his name. God heard those prayers, answered and is answering. We some way feel that Bishop Taylor is still interested in us for the kind of answers he expected still abound in our midst and give us courage to press on. piiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiMiiiiiiiitiiiiiiiiiHii i iiiiiiiiirriM W Page Nineteen l ji. ! ■. ; !, ' , ( ■a m K Qi Bishop William F.

( )ldham As a part of our history we are presenting the Commencement speakers for 1924. As this volume goes to press there is prospect of an unusual number of speakers during the Commencement season since this is the year that our institu- tion establishes a spiritual convocation that will be national in its interest. It seemed appropriate, however, that we should especially present the speakers connected with the official hours of the Commencement season. Bishop William F. Oldham has spent most of his life in the regions beyond the sea. He recognizes himself as a spiritual son of Bishop William Taylor for whom this institution is named, and he is generally regarded as a worthy successor to our illustrious namesake as an apostle to the world . Bishop Oldham has rendered extensive service in Asia, but he is now the general superintendent of the continent of South America where he is advancing the movements of the church on lines that emphasize the fundamentals of God ' s word and the verities of full salvation. The Bishop ' s occasional ministries in the homeland always contribute to the missionary zeal of the church, and it is no uncommon thing to find his name connected with pro- grams where the old fashioned message of a full salvation is proclaimed. He preaches the baccalaureate sermon this year. Dr. Harold Paul Sloan is one of the outstanding pastors of Methodism. He is widely known throughout the nation as one of the best poised advocates of historic Christianity. He has not seen fit, as many other good ministers, to sit down and let the new philosophy take over the work of the church. He has made himself felt with tongue and pen in a wholesome contention for the fundamentals of the gospel. Dr. Sloan is eloquent and resourceful. He is a man of liberal education, clear in his thinking, and strong in his grasp of problems. Those in the opposing camps are bound to recognize him as a man of excellent spirit and a courteous Christian gentleman. Dr. Sloan delivers our commencement address for this school vear. m m mmm IH l||fflW Page Twenty-one ill ' . ' l iil . ' li lllill. i ; . nmnrji Sammu, Morris, the African Kru Boi] of Taylor How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things! These words were fulfilled literally in Samuel Morris, the African Kru Boy, as he expressed his appreciation and joy in the fact that some one brought the message of the gospel to him. His early life was not at all unusual for a child living in Africa ; and yet, to us, it is one in which the hand of Providence marvelously led the way. His father was a petty ruler of a negro tribe which inhabited western Africa. He was taken prisoner in an engagement with another tribe and Sammy was sold into slavery. In order to get the price desired for their prisoner, his captors began to punish Sammy severely, whipping him every da} ' in order to make his father willing to pay the ransom price. Each day the whipping grew more severe, and finally he could endure it no longer. One night he ran away from the lash to the woods, not knowing where he was going ; but the God who feeds the sparrow watched over him and led him to the coast. Here it was in a little African church that Sammy learned about Christ. His conviction became so great that it led him to pray to his Heavenlv Father at some very unreasonable hours. His loud, agonizing cries sometimes broke the stillness of the ' midnight hour. At last his fellow workmen told him to leave, if he could not keep still. He moved his prayer meetings to the woods and there he wrestled with God. One night, after remaining in the woods until long after midnight, he came to his room, tired, but not sleepy. Suddenly the room was filled with a great light, his burden disappeared, and a great joy and peace came into his soul. After his glorious conversion, God called this African Kru boy into the min- istry. Sammy learned that in order to preach, he must be educated; and to be educated, he must go to America. He also had an intense desire to know more about the Holy Ghost, and learned that he could know more about Him by talking to Stephen Merrit, who lived in New York. His first question when he had ar- rived in New York was, Where can I find Stephen Merrit. who will tell me about the Holy Ghost? We can see him as he rides with Stephen Merrit in a coach, praying that the Holy Ghost might bless them. How simple was his faith and trust in the Master, how deep and true was his sinceritv, and how big was bis heart in his passion for souls ! The name Sammy Morris is very dear to his many Taylor friends. This boy, by following the leading of his convictions, caused many to seek the Holy Spirit, and a number to go to his beloved Africa where he himself had planned to go, had not his Father called him home. The Sammy Morris Dormitory stands as a memorial to his faith. Tis greatest memorial, however, is the host of young people who have been moved by his life to nobler service and sacrifice for the Master.

This organization is called a Legal Hundred hecause its charter provides that one hundred persons shall he the maximum size of its membership. The technical minimum is fifty. The idea of this style of organization originated with John Wesley in the later years of his life. The Legal Hundred which has existed in England since that time, is the legal person constituted under English law to control the property of British Methodism. It will he remembered that the property control was a one man affair during the life of Mr. Wesley, although he recognized that this was only an expediency, and that when an institution would be permanent and serve the generations to come, there must he some method for avoiding a one man rule. It is believed that the plan of school government represented in the Legal Hundred of Taylor University, is one of the most perfect that has yet been conceived. Its careful plan of selecting its membership from representative men and women makes for stability, and the fact that, barring some kind of apostasy, these persons will hold office for life, gives us an organization as consecutive as any conference. The advantage is in the fact that this is their one work, and they are definitely controlled by an unchangeable charter of ideals. Following, for instance, is our article on doctrine which by a special safeguard is declared unchangeable : We confess the sixty-six books of the Holy Scriptures as God ' s word: the final authority in every matter on which it speaks, and the sufficient rule for even- man ' s faith and practice. We confess the fundamental doctrines of Christianity as set forth in the common Christian Creeds, which we understand to teach that Jesus Christ, God and man, the Second Person of the adorable Trinity achieved by His Cross in the name of God and on behalf of all men, complete salvation from sin. We under- stand further that the process of salvation is repentance, justification by faith, and entire sanctification by faith through the baptism of the Holy Spirit. As believers in this precious Gospel we joyfully acknowledge our obligation to carry the news ■of God ' s grace to all men everywhere, holding this solemn conviction, that all who die in wilful rebellion must be eternally lost. The providential demand for Taylor University in the field of higher educa- tion, is parallel with the providential demand for the Legal Hundred as a Board of Control. If consecrated men and women of vision in the several States had not seen that such a college as Taylor was needed in this section of the United States, the task of finding men and women to compose the Legal Hundred would have been hopeless. We are safe in saying that the persons who have consented to form this organization represent in character and leadership the strongest among the people of the United States who stand for a whole Bible and a full Gospel.

' iiiin ii Post Qracluate Department Out of exceptional patronage have grown exceptional provisions in the Theo- logical Department, which assumes almost the proportions of a school. The degree of Bachelor of Divinity, and the master ' s degree in science and arts majors, where there is no organized department, are not entitled to recog- nition, accroding to the best standard rulings ; hence these degrees are no longer offered by Taylor University. The master ' s course at Taylor is made strong enough to stand alone as a technical equipment for a minister or theological professor, one who will have to meet only the average demands of his calling. It is equal to one-third of the best rated three-year courses of the theological seminaries. No students are admitted to it except such college graduates as hove shown a fair degree of scholarship in their college courses. This year, three members of last year ' s college graduating class returned to Taylor for post graduate work ; two of them enrolled in the Master ' s Course in Theology. The members of this class felt their need of specialized work in theology in order to insure thorough preparation for the peculiar task which faces the ministry of today. Strengthened by this course, they will go forth to contend intelligently, as well as earnestly, for the faith once delivered unto the saints. Faith of our fathers, we will lore Both friend and foe in all our strife, And preach Thee too as love knows hove, By kindly word and virtuous life. Faith of our fathers, holy faith We will be true to Thee till death. E. W. P. H. E.

The fact that so many of the Freshmen class have remained in school in spite of the temptations to enter the world of active service shows the kind of material of which we are made. We feel sure that no other Senior class of our institution could boast of such a record. Five of our number entered Taylor in the fall of 1921 when we were Sophomores. It speaks well for our class and school that these so fell in love with us that they chose to remain instead of returning to the institution where they had been Freshmen. When we began our Junior year in September of V 22 we found two students in Taylor who are this year wearing the cap and gown. Upon entering the home run the fall of 1923 another member was added. Others, of course, have during these years been for a time a part of our class, but some of them have not been so fortunate as to be permitted to complete their college course, and some have, no doubt, chosen to enter other institutions. It has not always been easy going these four years. Some of us have had to struggle financially, some with sickness, some with our studies, and some with all three. However, we are thankful that our lot has been cast in a school where we have been shielded from the storm of modern higher criticism that has wrecked the faith of many in other colleges. We feel like saying with Saint Paul, I have fought a good fight; I have finished my course (of study) ; I have kept the faith. We believe that this will mean much not only to us, but to others, since a very large per cent of the class expect to enter some form of Christian service. Although the work has been heavy at times and the trials severe, these have been years filled with pleasure. Even the work itself has been a joy. The social events have been many and varied. Many have been the times when we so thoroughly enjoyed ourselves that we forgot we ever had anything to do with books and studies. We shall always look back with pleasure to the times that we have been together in Taylor and feel that these years were well spent. They will always be outstanding in our memories. During our high school days our lives were moulded ; during our college days we have been established. Now the world lies before us. When the battles of life press in upon us we will look back to Commencement time of 1924 when we said, Here I ' ll raise my Ebcnerjcr, Hither by Thy help I ' ve come. — Otto W. Michel.

Gilbert Ayres Sec ' v. Irma Dark Junior Class MONUMENTS Give man a vision and time, and he will spend the latter in reducing the for- mer to a reality. In this transformation, he will have built at the close of life, a monument ; perishable or imperishable, will be determined by the nature of the vision. Today man builds a Babylon, or founds a mighty nation ; tomorrow, like a dream, they are gone. How discouragingly finite ! Fleeting monuments are they to an unworthy vision. Man calculates distances and sizes, computes transits and eclipses, but can- not create, change the course, or impede the progress of a single planet, star, or sun. Does man ' s finiteness, therefore, forever preclude the possibility of his in- fluencing the superior destinies of the infinite? Not so! Man is God ' s noblest creation. In man, finite and infinite meet. If he wills that the blood of lesus cleanse his soul, he is lifted to the eternal plane, where the Holy Ghost, love , joy, peace, eternal bliss, a heavenly vision, and a passion for souls, are his everlasting portion. With such possessions he may change the course of other souls — monu- ments imperishable, which shall shine as the stars forever and ever. The class of ' 25 possesses the heavenly vision. We, its members, are deter- mined that the wilderness and solitary places shall be made glad by our testimony. They shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away! The courts of heaven shall ring with joy over the redeemed. Oh thou infinite Christ, Author of infinite Love, raise us to Thy infinite heights until we can do the things that Thy infinite Love commands. — George I. Stoddard. Page Fifty- four Pres. Paul Kepplr Sec ' y. Betty Krause Sophomore Class In the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred twenty-two. there entered the Land of Learning a hand of sixty youths and maidens which bade fair to overcome the Inhabitants thereof. These newcomers were called Freshmen by the upper classmen, but they called themselves the Class of Six and Twenty. Now, there were already in the Land some giants called Sophomores and the Freshmen regarded them with fear and trembling. Hut as time passed and the Sophomores proved amiable, the Class ceased to be fearful and made friends, so they were no longer strangers in the Land. Then they whispered among themselves saying, We must have a president, for we would be helpful to our brethren ; so they assembled and elected one Park, of the House of Sowash, to be their leader. And they said, We must have some colors for our class, and because they were the sons and daughters of the King, they chose the purple of royalty and the white of purity. And the Freshmen were happy and had many frolics together. As they grew in favor with their fellowmen, they took part in the activities of the Land and developed in body, mind, and spirit. At length they became Sophomores and one Paul whose surname was Kepple was made their president. And it came to pass that the Class of Six and Twenty no longer had time to spend in frolic ; so they began with new seriousness to prepare to work for their Father, the Great King. — Iva E.

Clark Freshman Class The Class of ' 27 announced its entry into Taylor University by calling a meeting on the third day of the school year, and by electing its officers without waiting for the customary oversight of the Juniors. Two things characterized the first meeting: First, a motion passed the house that Freshman prayer meetings be held on every Thursday morning for the purpose of bringing salvation to unbelieving members of the class and of praying God ' s blessing upon His school. Secondly, the supposedly green Freshmen took the initiative in organizing a Freshman basketball team and promoting an upper- lower classman series which the upper classmen won after some hard battles. Frequent meetings were held throughout the year. During the first term many activities were planned by the class, but each one was called off before the appointed time. Nevertheless, at the beginning of the winter term the Freshmen again took heart and began plans which were not defeated. Almost all of the Freshmen are entering school this vear with heart and mind intent upon serving God. The fact that Taylor is a school of God, teaching His truths, draws His students from all the great states of the Union. Many, if not all, these students have larger and in some instances better equipped schools nearer their homes, but the desire to study under professors directed bv the Holy Spirit, and to enjoy the fellowship of students in harmony with their Maker, prompted these recruits of the army of the Cross to choose Taylor University as their Alma Mater. — H. I. O. Page Fifty-six — M— v Special Students We are called Specials or sometimes The Unclassified , which suggests to us a thought of slight humiliation. Nevertheless we are perfectly satisfied to be the special students of Taylor University ; for we are the group of most unique characters and great geniuses of the school. We greeted the year of 1923-1924 with many newcomers, among whom we find some surprising talent in different phases of studies. Many are taking Music, some Bible, some Expression and others Domestic Science. The stream of time has flowed beautifully ; the chains of days surely have bound us closer together in love. Upon the sacred pages of memory where nothing can erase them, are written records of the picnics we have enjoyed, the precious hours we have spent together in daily chapel service, and the occasions which have united us in the fellowship of prayer for one another. We have this year three graduates ; one from the Piano Department, one from the Vocal Department and one from the Department of Expression. The first of these is Miss Mary Bonner, a good Ohioan ; the second Miss Shigeru Ko- bayashi, a Japanese midget; and the last Miss Mildred Atkinson, a maid of Indiana. Miss Kobayashi will go hack to her own home in Tokyo, to live and die in Japan for her precious Redeemer. She will be connected with the Woman ' s Foreign Missionary Society, Cincinnati Branch. Taylor has blessed us greatly in the past, and she is abundantly blessing us at present. So, we will most heartily bless her when we go forth from this dear spot. Our hearts are full of joy and sweet memories. In thought we will dwell forever within these humble but sacred halls, for we love Taylor. May God prosper her ! — Shigeru Kobavashi. Page Fifty-seven Prophecy of the Academy Senior Class How beautiful the Statue of Liberty looked to me as I came in on the ship from Africa. It was my first furlough after five wonderful years in the Lord ' s service. As I neared the shores of the dear old United States my thoughts were transferred to the Academy Class of 1924. To my surprise, whom should I meet when I arrived at the docks, but one of the members of that class, Lloyd Olson, who is now a very successful taxi driver. He lives in the suburbs of New York, and is a very happy husband and father. He invited me to visit his wife and two beautiful children, and I readily consented to do so. I found them living in a beautiful little cottage with everything to make them happy, for Lloyd was a good father. He told me that every Christmas they take two weeks to visit the child- ren ' s grandparents in Michigan. After dinner I eagerly questioned him as to the whereabouts of the rest of the class, and he informed me that Hilda Erbland was singing in grand opera in the city of New York, and Wesley Draper, a very successful accompanist, was playing for her. The vast audiences were being swaved by her music. 53 3 After a day ' s rest I took the train for Upland, and arrived at our dear old school the day before Commencement. Many changes had taken place in Taylor University in the way of new dormitories and buildings, and many new faces greeted me, but imagine my surprise when I learned that John Link was now a very dignified professor in college Physics. He invited me to visit his Physics laboratory, and showed me a machine that he was designing. This would surpass any of the great discoveries yet made ; for it solved the problem of perpetual motion. Professor Link told me that should it prove as successful as he boped, it would make his fortune. I congratulated him upon what he had accomplished. I inquired from the Alumni President, the location of the other members of the class. He told me that Orley Morrison was happily married and was a successful farmer in Ohio. Miss Ada Rupp, who is now married, is doing evan- gelistic work, helping her husband sing the Gospel and bringing many hungry souls to Christ. I asked about YVilma Jennings and heard that she was the happy mistress of a parsonage in Chicago. While her husband preaches, she sings many souls into the Kingdom. I did not hear from Dorothea Leech immediately, because she had sailed for the mission field, and had not notified the Alumni Association of her location. Later I learned that she was a missionary in India and was married to a doctor, and was proving herself to be a successful helpmate. I returned to my work in Africa with a heart full of love and friendship. for these, my fellow class mates. — Ora Taylor. ' 24.

The Holiness League for many years has been considered a vital factor in the spiritual life of Taylor University. It was first organized as the Young Men ' s Holiness League, being a local chapter of the National Young Men ' s Holi- ness League. Later, its membership was opened to the young women of the school. The League meets each Friday evening at 6:30. These are indeed times of refreshing from the presence of the Lord. The motto suggests the main purpose of the League. Many students come to the school who have never heard of the sanctified life, and others who have never been saved. It is the desire of every earnest member of the League that everyone may learn to know Jesus as his personal Savior and live a life cruci- cified unto self, and alive unto God. The results attained in these meetings are truly gratifying to the child of God ; and we are sure that the angels in heaven rejoice over the penitent souls, and the ringing testimonies of the redeemed. The helpful messages given at each service are a means of grace which establishes souls ' ' that they need not be tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine. Thus, many pass out of the wilderness of bondage into the Canaan land of freedom in Christ Jesus. God does not pour out His Spirit upon believers that they may just be holy, but that they may be witnesses unto Him. Consequently, many spirit-filled young people go to bless the sin-sick world by carrying to it the blessed hope of the gospel of Christ. This is only a glimpse of the work of the Holiness League; its complete record is written in the Book of Life to be revealed in the last dav. iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitmiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii liJ IIIIIIIIIM B iiinmiiiiiiiuBtfffWTm p Page Sixty-four gpn mnnQ. Pres. Sec ' y. Fall Florence Gray Geo. Samuelson Winter Fi.ov Struble Geo. Stoddard Prater Band Sprint; Alva Beers Ruby Dare Each university has certain characteristics which distinguish it from all others. The oustanding characteristics of Taylor University is its prevailing spiritual standards. The Prayer Band is an organization that gives these prin- ciples a chance for development. Prayer, — where is there a mortal that can pen the meaning of such a great and marvelous word ! Even those whose hearts have been set on fire by the coals from off the altar of a deep prayer life are unable to impart to others its fullest meaning. It is only when there is a desire within our own hearts to fel- lowship with God and His dear Son that we can be led into the real significance, and the breadth of its meaning. The sinner who is dead in trespasses and sins is drawn by the Spirit of God to repentance. This is the first personal conception of prayer. Through confes- sion and forsaking of one ' s aims, and accepting the atonement for sin, by faith, we have the promise, As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he ' removed our transgressions from us. The Christian who has found Christ in His trans- forming power, will desire to pray. Christ prays, and as long as He dwells with- in our hearts we will pray. Initial salvation is only the first step of the prayer life. When we find Christ and walk with Him our life ceases, and His life begins in us. We have ( )ne in whom we can bring all our desires and needs, knowing that He is faithful who hath promised. Still the greatest phase in the prayer life is that of intercession. May God open our eyes to what the holy ministry of intercession is, to which, as His royal priesthood, we have been set apart. May He give us large and strong hearts to believe what mighty influence our prayers can exert. May all fear as to our being able to fulfill our vocation vanish as we see Jesus, living ever to pray, living in us to pray, and standing surety for our prayer-life. — Ralph Davison. up E5TOI Cy- Page Sixty-five Pres. Willard McLaughlin Sec ' y. Ruth Lortz Ministerial Association m As never before the world is demanding facts; facts which serve to solve the problems of modern civilization and progress. For no other reason than to face the facts, and to cope with these problems, the Ministerial Association is or- ganized. Each member of the Association recognizes that the greatest problem today is SIN. To grapple with such a monster, without suitable equipment, is folly ; but there is an armour to be put on which has never been pierced, a standard to be raised which has never met with defeat. Yea, the Lord of Hosts calls His mes- sengers and places them on the offensive against the greatest enemy of man. Above all, the needs of the ministry is a message of the transforming power of the Blood of the Lamb, preached under divine illuminat on from a heart of compassion. Giving first place to the message, there remains another task for the inexper- ienced pastor; that is, to meet the multiplicity of duties and obligations outside of the pulpit. In anticipation, the Association endeavors to instruct its members, and to acquaint them with the concrete problems of a pastor ' s life. As young people contemplating the Christian ministry, we in a measure realize the great responsibility placed upon us to declare the whole counsel of God. It is with humility, yet with confidence that we view the helds white unto harvest. Under the anointing of the Holy Spirit, and with a determination to spread scriptural holiness throughout the nation, we are sure that if we properly plant and water, the Lord will edve the increase. Page Sixty-six Qospel Teams The gravest peril to historic Christianity today is not Achans in her camp, nor Goliaths of New Theology without, nor lack of scholars or scholarship. Her peril is defined by Dr. E. M. Hounds, Orthodoxy, clear and hard as crystal, sus- picious and militant may he hut the letter well-shaped, well-named, and well- learned, the letter which kills! Another has said, the medisevals lost Christ in the dark ages, we moderns may lose Him in the light of our correct knowledge about Him. Taylor University is awake to this peril and is aiming to produce Christian workers clearly grasping the scholastic phases of fundamental theology plus — plus hearts broken and weeping for the salvation of men and women ; hearts that not only hold to a blood atonement, but which enter deeply into the sorrow and joy of the cross, and find therein their only and all-powerful incentive to serve the present age. A loyal Church wants to know if this high ideal is being realized. Are students actually receiving and delivering this intensely evangelistic message J . To such inquiries we would call attention to the Gospel Team work as a most satisfying answer. This work is directed by a joint committee from the faculty, and student body. Every available student is listed, with his respective evangelis- tic qualifications. From this list teams of from four to eight members are made up and sent out to proclaim a free and full salvation by faith alone in Christ. The open doors have been, and are, numerous. Scores have found the Savior and Sanctifier. To Him be the glory ! We would the precious time redeem Who have not yet our Savior knozvti; And longer live for this alone: Fully on these our mission prove. To spend, and to be spent for them And only breathe, to breathe thy love. — H. E. K. ' 23. EKI351 Page Sixty-seven 1 d Uolunteer Band There ' s a call comes ringing o ' er the restless wave, Send the light, send the light! Today as never before voices are calling to the desert, the mountain and the wilderness, pleading for someone to bring them that which will satisfy the soul ' s longing. The Volunteer Band is organized for the purpose of increasing the knowledge and missionary zeal of those whom God has called to the foreign field. The membership of our local band at Taylor this year, is nearly fifty, or about one- fifth of the entire student body. ( )ur earnest desire today is that we may be real missionaries at home ; for what we are here we will be there. We have felt the presence of the Holy Spirit in the weekly meetings of the Band, and are assured that God is leading on to victory. The challenge of the Gospel is kept constantly before us. A message is brought to us each Monday evening by a returned missionary, a faculty mem- ber, or by one who is acquainted with different missions. The great fields of our Lord and Master are white unto harvest. Thousands are living in darkness and bondage, and great is the responsibility of the Volun- teers of America. May God awaken the Church, and grant that it may pray young men and women into the mission fields. The Volunteer movement was established because some one felt responsibility for lost souls. Can we, dare we, as members of that movement, fail to get the vision? The fact that we are Volunteers should signify to our own hearts and to the world that we have reached the place where with Isaiah of old we say. Here am I, send me. — Edith Collins. ' 25. i nasHHmDnH Page Sixty-eight 2 V Student Dolunteer Contention The Ninth International Missionary Conference held at the Cadle Tabernacle, Indianapolis, from December 28, 1923, to January 1, 1 (, 24, was comprised of Volunteers from colleges throughout the United States and Canada and mission- aries from all parts of the world. From our school Dr. Paul, the President, Eugene Pilgrim, and George E. H. Samuelson enjoyed the rare privilege of at- tending as delegates. The plea of the Conference was for the students of America to blaze new- trails and to endeavor to make the world see Jesus ' s way out of its trouble. The heart of the Conference centered around Robert P. Wilder, John R. Mott, and Robert E. Speer, the founders of the Student Volunteer Movement. Other outstanding characters were Sherwood Eddy, Canon Edward S. Woods, and Paul Harrison who stirred the Conference by presenting the world ' s need with a Christ-like attitude. The spirit of the Convention centered upon a very few things. Those of highest interest were the Race Question, and the War Problem. Thoughts for intercession were : 1. That the warring peoples in all lands may catch a vision of peaceful co- operation, and that modern industrialism be permeated with the spirit of Christ. 2. That unjust discrimination and hatred between races may die out, and that all may join hands in Christian brotherhood. 3. That the intellectual and social unrest of the world may be met and satisfied in Him who came to give peace which the world can neither give nor take away. 4. That the meaning of the Cross of Christ may be a central reality in our experience and service. 5. That each of us, morning by morning, take time to draw upon the sources of power which are found in individual, thoughtful study of the Bible and in prayer. 6. For a world-wide spiritual awakening, Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven. — George E. H. Samuelson. Page Sixty-nine Tii ii iiiiii[iiii[ii;i i!

Three male quartettes, one ladies ' quartette and two mixed quartettes comprise the groups that help to make the art of song very much worthwhile. At different times during the year calls have come from various churches, conventions, Bible schools, etc., and these groups have gone out to bear the glad tidings of the Gospel in song. Very acceptable and efficient service has been rendered by the mixed quar- tette at the local church. College programs have been enhanced by numbers by these various groups. A Spring contest is an added feature of interest, the winning quartette to receive a cash prize of $25.00. The words for a new Taylor Hymn has been written by our president, Dr. John Paul, and at his request, melodies have been submitted by members of both the faculty and student body. A preliminary hearing have been given these tunes in the college chapel by the two mixed quartettes. A final contest of these tunes will occur on Bishop Taylor ' s Birthday, May 2nd, when judges will decide the winning melody. The kindly interest of our college president in the work of the quartettes has been very much appreciated. —Mrs. E. O.

The question for debate in the Indiana Intercollegiate Debating League was, Resolved, That the Federal Government Should Enact Legislation Provid- ing for the Compulsory Judicial Settlement of Disputes Between Employers and Employees in the Coal and Railroad Industries. (Constitutionality waived). Out of the four League Debates which were held, Taylor came off victorious in three. This record places her in the same class with Manchester College, Earl- ham College, and DePauw University, the only other schools to gain this number of victories. Besides the League Debates there was held a dual debate with Asbury Col- lege and a dual girls ' debate with Marion College. In these Taylor won three of the four victories. In eight debates, Taylor won six times. Among the several factors which contributed to success, are the loyalty and support of the faculty and student body, and the long hours of preparation put in by the debaters. Most credit is due to the coach. Dr. Glasier, through whose efforts the plans were worked out which led the teams to victory. The schedule of Debates for 1923-24 was as follows: Derates Outside of League. February 29 Tavlor University Affirmative 3 Indiana Inter-Collegiate Derating League.

Esther Blank Winter Bessie Lindsev Helen Nickel Spring Bessie Lindsey Betty Krause The last part of September 1923. saw the gathering of the clans and tribes at their old camping place at Taylor University for another year of work and fellowship together. Along with their pale-faced brothers and sisters came the Indian Maidens, the Soangetahas. After we had organized and started the year ' s work, we adopted a number of new students into the tribe and they have proved themselves to be worthy members. Our name means Stronghearted and our predecessors in the years past have made this name stand for something. We started out with the deter- mination to live up to their worthy example. By taking part in the debates, the parliamentary drills, and the discussions of the Club we feel we have done this, and have developed those qualities of strongheartedness that will help us to fill our places in service for God and man in the years to come. The needs of the world are challenging us as never before. We need spiritual strength first of all, but at the same time we want to have mental strength, poise, and abilitv to speak in public in a logical way in order that we may be our best. So we have tried to work in our club with the same conscientious thoroughness as in the other depart- ments of our school life, feeling that here we were also serving God. The night of the fall term inter-club debate proved a time of delight and in- terest. Our club was represented by Frances Rowland and Catharine Briggs. Our debators won, but it was no easy victory as our opponents also did good work. May the influence and usefulness of the club increase in the Years to come and may we, the members of the year 1923-24 prove ourselves worthy stewards of the talents the Lord has given us, no matter where He calls us to serve. — Maude Chesterman. im 3 W : i nitiMmiiii |Tj Page Seventy-two Mndnkd Debating Club Fall Pres. KatherinE Bieri Sec ' v. Lucy Larrison Winter Mildred Keller Mable Thomas Spring Mrs. Wilma Jennings Evelyn Duryea The Mnanka Debating Club was organized on the seventh of ( )ctober, 1921 in the Swallow-Robin Parlors. Prior to this time there had been only one girl ' s debating club in our school. It was thought that another organization would create more interest in club work and a spirit of friendly rivalry between the girls. The name chosen for this new debating club was Mnanka , meaning weaving knowledge ; the colors Orange and White were chosen to symbolize it. The year 1923-24 has been marked by the same interest, zeal and enthusiasm that have been shown throughout our club work. The lively debates on current topics, extemporaneous work, and parliamentary drill, have not only been interest- ing, but also have proved very beneficial to each of the girls. In the inter-club debate for the fall term, the Mnankas were represented by Miss Lucy Larrison and Mrs. Wilma Jennings. Although we lost the decision of the judges, we feel as if much was accomplished toward our success. Owing to the amount of intercollegiate debating for the winter term, the inter-club con- test was postponed until the spring term. Our debaters were Miss Ada Rupp and Miss Harriett Leisure. During these contests, our debaters showed their sacrificing spirit, forgetting self and putting their all into the splendid work which characterizes our club. imiiiiiiiiimi ffu™ KTOP umumi Page Seventy-three Eulogonian Debating Club Fall Whiter Spring Pres. Eugene Pilgrim Francis Fletcher Ernest Frey Sec ' y. Harold Ockenga W. L. Russell John Shilling Aside from the religious organization there is perhaps no other that adds more to college life than does the debating club. The ability to think on one ' s feet and to speak fluently and convincingly is something that every college student should attain. Every Eulogonian will agree that our club is doing much for us along this line. Our meetings on Saturday evenings in the Library are a time of real fellow- ship. There is a dignity about these gatherings that is hard to surpass. Live, up- to-date questions are debated, giving to some an opportunity for self-expression, and furnishing to the rest valuable information that can be gained in no other way in so short a time. The exercises afforded in parliamentary drill are also excellent. We will appreciate this more when we get out into the world of service where we will need to know how to conduct business meetings. There is a friendly rivalry between the two men ' s clubs that is usually at its height during the tenth week of each term when the inter-club debate takes place. There is also a social side to our club. Basketball furnishes splendid sport and recreation during the winter months. The inter-club games are occasions of great enthusiasm and excitement. Outings, such as picnics and marshmallow roasts, are features of the fall and spring that we Eulogonians enjoy. Who would not want to be a member of such an organization ? Rah ! Rah ! Rah ! Rah !

Fall Paul Kepple Howard Young ]] ' inter Paul Kepple Norman Rose Spring Ralph Henning Norman Rose In February 1903 a group of men assembled in the halls of Taylor University to discuss some means whereby they could better fit themselves for the battles of life. This band of men organized the first debating club in the school, and named it Eureka , meaning I have found it . Realizing that it is necessary to de- velop the mind as a basis for spiritual growth they chose for a motto, The Mind the Measure of the Man . The Club met much opposition at first, but it held its ground and proved that it was needed, and today we have three other debating clubs in the school. Since the Club was organized, it has debated with its brother club many times, and has been able to win as many times as it has lost. The Club has always welcomed foreign students as active members. It has trained many men to think quickly, and to express themselves clearly. The Club gives the proper place to all phases of life. Each meeting is opened with prayer, and debates are sometimes held on the leading religious questions of the day. Banquets and outings are held for social training. The body is developed by contests in the field of athletics with the Eulogonian Debat- ing Club. Today not only our country, but many foreign peoples are blessed by the men who have gone from the Club, which gave them an important part of their education. May the Eurekas ever go on, extending a hand of love, and saying to every man, Let us help you; that you in turn may lift others to lives of glorious victory, that you may point men to the ' Lamb of God which taketh away the sin of the world.

Helen Wing Winter Charles Jennings Neva Kletzing Spring Lewis Doughenbaugh Esther Carman As the Philalethean Literary Society looks back upon its past activities — a period of forty-six years — a feeling of satisfaction for that which has been accomplished, and a sense of ambition and determination to out-do its own achievements in the future, stirs its inmost being. These forty-six fertile years have been links in a chain of continuous progress — a chain strengthened by intel- lectual, moral and athletic achievements. But why should not strength and success be the acquisition of those whose pathway has been illumined by the rays of their motto, Lovers of Truth ; and in whose hearts have been installed the standards of truth and purity of which the blue and white is symbolical. For as Wordsworth says, Fearless virtue bringeth boundless gain. The Philalethean Literary Society (and no less her sister society) has ever sought to cultivate a sense of true sportsmanship ; to train and to cultivate talent, and the appreciation of literature and the fine arts; and foremost of all, the development of true, clean manhood and womanhood. Efforts have not been put forth in vain ; for out from the two literary societies of our ALMA MATER have gone young men and women broadcasting light throughout the world. In the words of Shakespeare, How far that little candle throws his beams ! So shines a good deed in a naughty world. We have found that the new members received into the Philalethean Literarv Society during the school-year, are most valuable, — the type of characters who will shoulder the responsibilities of the society, and will c arve the name of Phil- alethean still deeper, on the rocks of Time. — Doris Atkinson.

Caroline Churchill Winter Melwn Reed Mabel Landon Sprint i George Stoddard Bessie Ltndsey The Thalonian Literary Society had her beginning in the early dawn of Taylor ' s existence, and such was the promise for her future that the sun climbed out of bed smiling, and has been smiling on Taylor ever since. We are proud of our Society — proud of her past, and proud of her present as she lives the embodiment of a splendid ideal — a door open to true culture. Those who first spoke the name of the Thalonian Literary Society, did so in honor of the Greek philosopher Thales, who in his doctrine, Know Thyself , suggested the motto and idea for which the Society stands. Since that time the name of ' Thalo ' has become a cherished possession for numberless Taylor students who have taken part in her activities and have come to know themselves better, and to be made better known. And now as the early dawn of Taylor University is passing into the light of a full clear day with an ever rising sun to lighten her towers, the Thalonian Lit- erary Societv is occupying a larger field, and is setting such an example as the Philos, in spite of their ' p e P ' an d ability, are finding hard to equal. With so wonderful a past, and a present that is still more wonderful, who shall be able to forecast the future of our Society, and hope that even to a small extent he may do her justice? Not until the pen of an angel can be borrowed and the Ghost of Shakespeare summoned to pick it up, may the future of the Thalonian Literary Society be fittingly foretold. — C. D. Clench, ' 27. m K Page Scventy-scvcn Page Seven ty-eigk The Qem Staff It was no easy task that the Gem Staff of 1924 undertook in the publication of a year book that should be a true record of events, one that should carry out its name — THE GEM. The Gem staff has sought to make it portray Taylor ' s great mission to the world, and the life and spirit of her great leader. Bishop William Taylor. In this great task the Staff thought that the Alumni section should contribute more than it has done in the past. Taylor ' s field is the world, and that is the idea which has been embodied in this year ' s book. Pictures showing the foreign field and some of the former students were procured, with letters from each field, thus making this section a live and very interesting one. A complete list of the missionaries and their location in the different fields are given. Taylor ' s training of her young people has the athletic factor — and the literary a well. Much interest and enthusiasm is manifested in the Societies ' programs, contests and receptions. To portray the real student life, these had to be rep- resented ; and this was successfully accomplished by pictures and well written articles. The more distinctly religious side of the book which holds the greatest interest for many of the friends of Taylor, is fully represented as usual. What means could be used that should recall the events of the year, and the spirit of our beloved Alma Mater? Pictures? This section, the Staff has emphasized, selecting carefully the very best, making this the climax of the years, believing that thus may best be portrayed Taylor ' s wonderful mission of training young men and women for life service. Taylor ' s real spirit, atmosphere, and worth has never before been presented thus vividly to the world. To do so has been the aim of the Staff, that Taylor may live on in the hearts of her students and friends. The Gem of 1924 is more than a missionary review ; it is a book of beauty, a book of cherished memories, and of living incidents from Taylor ' s ambassadors of the Cross. The Gem Staff of 1 ( 24 wishes to thank the faculty, students, and friends for the co-operation which has made this publication possible. — Yelma Cassidv, ' 24. m m m DEEMO! Page Seventy-nine Page Eighty • bmwi I fnrnQfr M The Echo Staff The staff of 1923-24 is experiencing the satisfaction that comes to an or- ganization whose product is in demand; not only that, but the additional joy of incoming testimonials establishing the fact that this product, the Echo, is meeting general approval. If this approval came from one particular part of the world, or if these testimonials were coming from one class only, there would be little reason for self-congratulation ; but since the Echo is sent to many parts of the world and satisfaction is expressed by different classes, there is no lack of pleasure in the work. Those who have read our report of 1922-23 will readily understand why we exult over the new day for the Echo and school. The Echo Staff has no small job ; it assumes the task of echoing Taylor University, a school that has the distinction of cultivating in men and women that development which fits them for a successful ministry. There is, however, an advantage in editing this paper. It has passed the experimental stage and needs only that each staff follow the precedent already set. The paper holds a unique place among publications of its kind ; for, in echo- ing the school its columns contain the central theme of full salvation — the priv- ilege of being saved from all sin — because Taylor rejoices in the heavenly vision. The secret of the results already referred to is found in these echoes of the spirit and teaching of this institution which stands for the whole Bible as the inspired word of God. We know well there are many who care little for this message of full sal- vation. Nevertheless we thank God there are institutions and Christians who believe the word and yield their lives to its teachings. It is these who make pos- sible publications that encourage the obeying of the Scripture which reads, ear- nestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints. They are the ones who see the folly of modernism ; who feel the need of a full gospel in face of the trend toward infidelity which seeks to control the thought of today. Such servants of God desire no pity; for God is showing His pleasure in them by blessing their work. For the benefit of any who may not know the work of the Echo, we outline brieflly the general line of its contents for the year. There have been discussions on vital religious subjects by Dr. John Paul, Dr. Newton Wray, and other capable men. In addition to these are valuable reports on outstanding sermons and lec- tures. Editorials have covered a variety of subjects, and have been found helpful. A marked feature of the Echo consists in the inspiring and helpful reports from the Holiness League, Prayer Band, and Volunteer Band. Aside from these are interesting notes from the literary societies, debating clubs, and athletic ac- tivities ; also news from the alumni, and from mission fields, as well as a full record of local events. The Staff wishes to thank its subscribers for promptness in payment of Echo subscriptions, also for many notes of appreciation, and especially for the contri- butions made to the paper ' s columns. Dr. John Paul and Mr. E. O. Rice deserve special mention for their hearty co-operation in making the Echo a success. — L.D.

These churches are closely affiliated with us, and have done much in co-operation with our college. Although the University has religious services at the chapel every Sunday afternoon, the greater part of the student body participates and takes active part in the Sunday morning exercises at one or another of these three Upland churches. Our Institution is interdenominational in its control and support ; yet its belief is entirely in keeping with the doctrines of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and it is natural that the greater number of our students attend this church. However, each church is always open to receive any of her faith ; and all students are urged to attend regularly the one of their choice and to co-operate in its activities. The atmosphere in these three places of worship is one of friendship and brotherhood. They afford an excellent opportunity for those who desire to keep up their church work while away from home. m niiiiiiiiiiiiiiifcHJ IIMUHWIIII i; Page Eighty-two t a t t n a I S t P t -- illlllllllllllll nmnr:. Department of Theologu Funcldmentdlism plus Pentecost The greatest perils to which the Christian church is susceptible are false doc- trines, and the hiding of true doctrines. The first great heresy which menaced the Christian church was that of Arius which made Christ an exalted creature. As a result of the controversy the great Christian minds of that age formulated the doctrines which have been accepted as fundamental until this day. The Roman Church gradually declined in spiritual power because it neglected to preach the true faith and gave too great a place to the outward observances of religion. The church of our day is failing in her mission, not only because she is embracing poisonous doctrines, but also because she refuses to preach boldly those which are true and which she holds as true. Taylor University is keenly alive to the present controversy raging through- out Christendom and she is firm in her stand for the fundamentals of the faith. She wishes to avoid both perils which the church is now facing. We go a step further and say that we believe Taylor has a peculiar place in relation to fundamentalism ; it is to permeate the preaching of the truth with the evangelistic spirit of the gospel. The Theological Department strives to send out into all parts of the world young men and women well grounded in the truth, and possessing a holy enthusiasm for the salvation of all men : Fundamentalism plus Pentecost. 2 l iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniimiiiiiiHuniiiHiwi ™ nimumuini Page Eighty-four m, Department of Education (To My Students) The Uoice i Canto I. The Call. Fair flowers may bloom in other fields perchance, And skies of blue bend softly over The winding paths where sparkling waters flow Through meadows green and rich in clover; The lure of verdant hills and twittering groves, Of other sunny realms afar may haunt us With fragrant odors, colors fair; and there, With love and music ' s siren charm about us, To sleep, to dream, to drift, or worse, alas! To ground — O God ! — adown life ' s solemn river. But hark! — A Voice! A Voice! A Voice! That calms, but sets the startled soul aquiver; That rouses, like a bugle call, to duty; That cries, My child ; — in mellow tones far-reaching Let him that teacbetb wait upon his teaching. Canto II. The Response The skies are blue; soft clouds afloat; the waves In glee laugh out their lulling gurglings: ' Tis sweet to dream youth ' s springtide day, to drift, To sleep — tomorrow will be time enough ; But rest thee for the moment ; youth will soon Be past. Enjoy today. All tasks are dreary — Thou fool! — Again that Voice — that wondrous Voice, My sheep and lambs must needs be fed. They ' re weary. Oh. tell me. Voice ' what is the task to which. In spite of all, your tones of love impel me? I fain would leave life ' s evanescent dreams ; Would climb the rugged heights — if Love compel me ; Would bring my all to Duty ' s sacrifice — The Voice cried glad, its cadenced tones far-reaching, Let him that teacbetb wait upon his teaching. Canto III. The Task happy earth, O tuneful sea, sky Whose beautous orbs in starry courses Sing ardent praises to the Hand that paints The sunset ' s glow; the Ear that sources The silent music of the rolling spheres ; The Heart that crowns the year with loving kindness ! For human kind were all these glories made, And they, in spite of youth ' s potential blindness. Mav read the wonders of the earth and sky ; May glimpse the mind ' s infinitudes of splendor ; May rise, may mount to heaven ' s pellucid door And catch the vision of eternal grandeur — If they be taught aright. Then let me teach. The Voice cried clear, its trumpet tones far-reaching: Let him that teacheth wait upon his teaching. -Adaline Eugenia Stanley. IEEBMHHi Page Eighty-five Department of Music Music can noble hints impart. Engender fury, kindle love; With unsuspected eloquence can move And manage all the man with secret art. — Addison. The School of Music entered the year 1923- ' 24 with an enrollment approximately the same as that of last year, and with a faculty composed of the following teachers: Theodora Bothwell, Director; Edith R. Rice, Head of the Voice Department; Sadie Louise Miller, Head of the Junior Department; George F. Fenstermacher, Teacher of Violin. Two student assistants are Messrs. Skinner and Chauncey. The interest and enthusiasm shown in the varied activities of the School of Music are good. This is shown by the good attendance at the weekly practice rehearsals, in which students from all departments of the School participate. These rehearsals are not open to the public, but are preparatory training in public appearance for the students who are to appear in public recital. These public recitals are given each term. No undue emphasis is laid upon any one department in the School of Music, the plan of the Director being to have a normal enrollment in all departments. The aim of the School is to prepare students as pianists, singers, or violinists ; or to be teachers in any of these lines. Both the Mens ' Glee Club and the Women ' s Glee Club are doing careful work under the capable leadership of Mrs. Rice. In addition to this form of choral work, Mrs. Rice has charge of the training of a number of quartets, for which there is a large demand in the surrounding territory. The University Orchestra reflects the enthusiasm of its capable leader, Mr. Fenster- macher. In addition to the courses in Piano, Voice, and Violin, the School offers courses in Evangelistic Playing, Evangelistic Singing, and Chorus Directing for those who desire to take up that form of Christian service in Music. The classes in Harmony and Theory of Music are well attended. In addition to being a requirement for graduation from the School of Music, work in these classes is given credit as an elective subject in courses leading to the Bachelor of Arts degree. Department of Expression ' •TO DO IS TO KNOW In spite of several changes affecting our enrollment for this year, the dis- continuance of two courses that last year enrolled thirty students, and increased tuition for class work, the Department of Expression is able to report an increase in interest and numbers. We started the year with thirty-five students, and at the winter term reg- istration added fifteen, giving the department the largest number of college students ever enrolled, making necessary the creation of a new division. We now have thirty-five pupils in three freshman divisions. But we are not interested in numbers so much as in results. We feel that every preacher and mission student should be making advanced preparation for his work, and therefore that at least half of the school should be securing the training of this department. We are unable to determine whether students shall practice here or in after years upon the helpless public. To those who wish to prepare in advance we pledge every help within our power. Division enrollment is limited to twelve in number to make possible daily platform appearance and criticism for each student. The class work is not theory but practice — best suited, we believe, to development. For the year 1924-25 we hope to have a full time assistant in this depart- ment, to make possible the offering of new courses and the organization of a larger number of classes for each course.

This was shown in the early training. The fellows had themselves in good form some time before the beginning of the scheduled games and a good season was expected ; nor was there any reason for disappointment. The first series of the season, that of the debating clubs, was played oft with a great deal of pep, and resulted in a close victory for the Eulogs. The Thalo-Philo boy ' s series was attended by the usual society spirit. Both sides strove for the victory and each player put forth every effort to win. This resulted in some sharp skirmishing and a number of brilliant plays. However, the Philos showed the better team work and by that merit won a decided victory for die Blue and White. Tbe Thalo-Philo girl ' s series was the best that Taylor has ever had. The girls put both pep and science into their work and showed the fellows how to play the game. After some hard fighting the Thalos won a close victory.

A lusty throat calls Service! ; a racket is poised, a ball is deftly tossed in the air and deftly met. If all goes well the ball shoots over the net with bullet- like velocity and performs such antics upon striking the ground that the receiver is completely baffled. That is the result if all goes well, but it is not the usual result. For there is probably no other sport that requires such coordination of nerve and fiber as tennis. No other sport brings into play so many laws of physics. Inertia, air resistance, bound and rebound, centripetal and centrifugal forces, friction and gravity, all are closely studied by the successful plaver. And that is why all like it ; it tests the mettle, and at the same time gives recreation and exercise that better fits for the class-room. No. 1 Men ' s Singles Rhee.

All of the men played for the love of the game, and true sportsmanship was manifested. There were two series, as there always are, and both furnished their fund of enter- tainment and excitement. The Eureka Debating Club won the series in which it played, though the score was closely contested. The Thalonian Literary Society proved itself the more skilled of the two societies. It took the series, though it was by the very hardest w r ork and cleverest playing that it won. On the whole, the games were played and enjoyed with the best of spirit and true sportsmanship. This spring the game has come out in all of its glamor, and the ordinary amount of slang with which base-ball is usually accompanied. There have been the intermittent games of catch, and then the further development of Knocking Up Flies , that herald the coming of the base-ball season. Along with the robins, the blue birds, and other fouls of the air, has come the base-ball, and the players are out after them with bats and gloves. One day, the call came from both of the debating clubs for players, and we knew that spring had come in earnest. The enthusiasts of both factions began to work out, and whisperings came to those of us who have been relegated to the bleachers, that this man had a good arm, or that one was good at the bat, or that the other, could make the bases in nothing flat. We heard the announcement of the first game with much glee, and have watched the progress of the series with great interest. Baseball is again in full swing. W. S. B. ■ Lessox Factory.

Alumni Association The Alumni Association of Taylor University, during the major part of its existence, has been an organization without an energizing purpose, and therefore one of name and not of power. In a halting manner it has functioned at Com- mencement time in an annual reunion of the few loyal members who come back to meet and greet old friends. In 1922 the association gained an impetus on receiving the control of its Alma Mater from the hands of the old board of trustees. The association be- came responsible for the election of all trustees, and therefore rallied to the challenge of the hour. Interest was displayed by an increased enrollment and attendance at the Commencement business session. However, the undertaking was too ambitious, and happily it has been super- seded by The Legal Hundred of Taylor University, an organization that within the school year of 1923-24 has made remarkable progress for the welfare of the institution. Will the Alumni Association, left without this strengthening influence, again become a lagging organization? Not if it discovers another mission; and it has one to perform. It must create enthusiasm in the men and women who are gone from Taylor ' s campus into fields of activity. Our work is at a standstill now, lacking the impulse and direction of a competent field secretary. The ap- pointment of such an official we hope may be the accomplished business of the 1924 meeting, and beyond that we look to a new day. iij j wmn i imMiiiiiiimifflJwmTmT Page One Hundred Tzco ImmlS fe te Our Missionaries Taylor University has held through the years and still holds a unique place among the colleges because of the number and type of men and women who have gone from her walls to the uttermost parts of the earth. Our Brothers and Sisters across the waters, we are proud of you! We are proud of the noble service which you have performed for Him who said, Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. We are sure that you have found Him faithful to the Lo, 1 am with you always, even to the end of the world. Our deep appreciation of you was the biggest factor in the decision of the Gem Staff of 1924 to make this issue of the Gem a special missionary number. As soon as this decision was made, the Staff immediately mailed letters to China, to India, to Africa — in fact to the four corners of the earth — to all of our missionaries. We wanted something firsthand and up to date from each mis- sionary for publication. Due to the mails, and various other reasons, some answers have been delayed until it is too late. Anyway, we could not hope to publish all the replies and we have been obliged to condense, still having a rep- resentative group. We are sorry that we can not have every letter in this Gem. In reading the letters, one can detect the heart burdens for individual fields that are all but crushing the lives of devoted laborers. We are sorry that space prohibits putting in more snap-shots, since they doubtless make more concrete than words can, the great need of the fields, and the places which our missionaries are filling. The cry of all was PRAY ! Do we pray, that is really pray, or have we sent our friends out there to bear the load alone? How much more could be done if daily we would lift them to the Throne ! Let us here and now make a new covenant. In going over all this material, we do feel the call to prayer and our hearts burn within us as we question if it be not God ' s will that we too should be at the front. The strings of camels come in single file. Bearing their burdens o ' er the desert sand; Swiftly the boats go plying on the Nile, The needs of men are met on every hand. But still I wait For the messenger of God who cometh late. I see the cloud of dust rise in the plain, The measured tread of troops falls on the ear; The soldier comes the Empire to maintain. Bringing the pomp of war. the reign of fear. But still J wait; The messenger of Peace, he cometh late. They set me looking o ' er the desert drear, Where broodeth darkness as the deepest night. From many a mosque there comes the call to prayer; I hear no voice that calls on Christ for light. But still I -wait For the messenger of Christ who cometh late.

It is not an easy fight, although it is one-sided. (We have the Lord on our side). It reaches from the lowest hovel to the highest official in China. They all feel the effects of the struggle to a certain extent and are influenced by it. It is not the old battle that the missionaries had to fight during the Boxer time. Very few Christians are called upon to die for their faith in Jesus as they were at that time. The great issue now is that which has been the great issue in America recently : — yes, in whatever country the gospel has been preached from the time of His death until the present time, — the old question of loyalty to the Book. Liberalism has crept into China also. It is not getting a very solid hold in some localities, but there are whole sections where so-called modernists have the whole sway. They run up against stone walls occasionally, and then the hearts of those who see the Bible in the old way are encouraged. Not long ago, in one of the English monthlies issued in China the following article was written: (This is an extract) ' Can modern ministers be trained in a seminary that insists in filling men ' s minds with ideas on the Scriptures that no intellectuals have enter- tained for the last fifty years ? ' A little explanation will make this statement clearer. Three or four mis- sions have founded a joint Theological Seminary in Nanking, China, and they have been training men in the old fashioned way. They have stuck to the guns in spite of opposition from certain quarters. This statement came from a Metho- dist man who, as you can plainly see, is not in favor of the plan carried out. Not long ago the Southern Presbyterian Missionaries stated that if any modern- ists or any of their doctrines were injected into the school, they would imme- diately withdraw from the compact and not be one of them. This was a brave stand and this is what our Methodist ( ?) friend is hitting. His statements were not allowed to rest, however, and some of his own friends are taking it up. It is hard telling what will come of it, but whatever the outcome will be, there will still be a few in China who love the old I!ook. When downed by the Intellec- tuals it will pop up again. It always has done it and will continue to do it until Jesus comes. Many of us wonder who the gentleman considers as Intellectuals. He is apparently one. Tom Paine was in possession of a pretty good intellect. We might mention some others, but it might cause some embarrassment to those mentioned. There are a good many Chinese who like that New Doctrine because it is a supposedly easy approach to Heaven, but Grace Church (Sungkiang) does not get that kind. Our mission has a few who do not believe in Christ as He is taught in Taylor, but they are in the minority. To combat this movement, two years ago the Bible Union of China was started with no other motive than to try to hold themselves and others to the old truths as held by the churches in the homeland. At that time two hundred members signed up. Today there are over twenty-two hundred names on the roll. Some say that figures do not say much, but they do in this instance. Due to the earthquake and unsettled conditions in Japan we were unable to get letters from that country in time for publication. While we have not a large number of missionaries in Japan, the few are accomplishing great things for the Kingdom and, we might add, they have not forgotten their Alma Mater. We especially wish to mention Mr. Hiraide in this connection. In the last few years many young Japanese students have found their way to Taylor halls through the direction of Brother Hiraide. — Clinton I.

Either God did not do it or he turned that field into the most delightful place I was ever in. Through His providence, He led us out in 1910 to West Africa where we have rejoiced in His presence and under His blessing ever since, and hope to as long as we are able to serve Him there. In six months after arriving on the field, I took charge of the boys ' industrial work at the station. In a year we were asked to teach school as well. In three years we were given charge of the whole station where Mrs. Wengatz and I had one hundred fifty pupils in Boarding School to look after — to have charge of their schools, the industrial work, securing their food and clothing, and building their houses. We had to be pastor of the local church, physician of the whole country, lawyer, police, post-master, peace-maker, farmer, mechanic, undertaker and sexton ; as well as to spend our nights in correspondence and prayer to main- tain the work in hand. In 1915, I was called upon to add to my toils, the duties of the District Superintendent of an area the size of Indiana, Illinois and Ohio combined. There we built schools, organized churches, held meetings, walked hundreds of miles and preached as we went. We saw the power of God settle down upon the people, conviction seize them, repentance follow and multi- tudes turn to God. Time and again have we heard their triumphant testimony on their death beds and have seen them go through to be with Jesus with a shout of victory. We have traveled thousands of miles, sometimes far into the interior, among wild beasts, fires, serpents and cannibals. There, among warring tribes have we explored and preached the ever blessed Gospel of a mighty Saviour. Blessed be God forever ! He is able ! In 1921, we moved farther inland and built up an entire new plant, where we expect to live upon our return. From this new station, we can carry on our work as District Superintendent of the Malanje District and work the interior as far as God may he pleased to lead us. Our health has been good. We have had all the good food, water, air, sleep and exercise we have needed. We have His promise that He will be with us to the end and that He will give us the heathen for our inheritance and the uttermost parts of the earth for our possession. What more can we think of that we would like? Counting it all joy, we have been hungry ; we have had encounters with leopards and boa-constrictors ; we have been chased by lions ; stung by scorpions ; have had the African fever a score of times ; have been surrounded and had our lives sought by ten thousand cannibals, hut the God who answers by fire delivered us from them all. Will we go back there? YES! There is no place in this whole wide world where we would rather be than up there in the wilds of Africa among the thousands of soul-hungry and sin-crushed souls for whom Jesus died. Let me go ! Let me go ! — J. C. Wengatz, Greek Theological Course, ' (f . m 3$m 5v Page One Hundred Nine Page One Hundred Ten India Will We Meet This Challenge 1 ? A policeman on his beat in one of the Indian cities noted that a certain house where a young Hindu widow lived, had remained shut for two or three days. Cholera was daily carrying off its victims and he concluded that it would be best to make an investigation. He pushed open the door of the little house and this is what he found: On the mud floor, stretched on a cotton quilt, lay the lifeless form of the young mother. She must have been dead for two days. On her breast a child of about a year was trying to nurse! Don ' t turn away from this picture! Stop and look at it! Sou need to; — it has much to tell you. It symbolizes in a striking way the real situation in India today. More than three hundred million of God ' s little ones in this land are trying to nurse at the dead breast of paganism, idolatry, and Islam. You and 1 are in the place of the policeman, for we have found out what is happening. What will you do about it? This question you are asked in the name of India ' s three hundred fifteen millions. They are starving, dying, as they try to nurse at the lifeless breast of the only faiths they have ever had a chance to know. It is sure starvation for them to continue the effort to prolong life thus. There shall be no evil befall thee . . . for lie shall (jive His angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy zvays. Ps. 91 :10-11. As Sironcha is in a dense jungle, six days by ox-cart journey from any •other Europeans, the burden is far from an easy one. ( )ne night a leopard came within three feet from where I was sleeping and started off with a child about twelve years old. The missionary gave chase and recovered the child ; the wind- pipe was pierced and the jugular vein laid bare. For days life was despaired of hut God raised her up again. — Cora D.

At the same time that the work has been progressing out in the district, it has been moving forward here in Hindupur. A few days before the fourteen baptisms occurred out in Yanavola, we baptized eight men and women here. One very interesting case is that of one of the municipal school teachers, a young man who teaches in the Magada palyam, or outcaste quarters. The principal teacher of the school is one of our Christians, a former member of our teaching staff. When this preacher left us for the teaching work, we pointed out the great opportunities he would have of living the Christ life before his pupils and testifying to those around him. The assistant teacher came from another village and began work with the Christian teacher. The first day, the principal talked to the assistant about Christ and the way of salvation, but the latter did not decide that day. However, it was not many days until the assistant teacher came to the Sunday morning service in our Telugu church and at the close of the service, gave himself to the Lord. He left the church, saying that he would go home and tell his young wife at once. When he reached home, he entered and said, ' I have become a Christian and expect to be baptized soon. If you wish to come with me I shall be glad, but if you are opposed, you are at liberty to go .back to your home and live with your own people. ' At once the shy little wife said, ' I will stay with you and become a Christian. — Mr. and Mrs. Burp R.

U. Academy ' 14) Monsefu, Pern: The baby and child life among the poor and middle classes of Peru is a sad, sad story. This sad story has its beginning even before the child is born. As that hour approaches the mother drinks freely of chica or some other liquor. She does not call a doctor (only the rich or foreigners have one), but a midwife. By the time the child is born the mother is quite drunk, likewise the newly born babe — born drunk. It is slapped quite freely that it may show some signs of life. Both mother and child are given very little attention by the midwife. About the first thing the mother is given more liquor to nourish ( ?) both herself and the child. The child is then given its first bath. Its second may be given two weeks later. In many cases the baby ' s arms are bound tightly to its sides. In from, three to five days the mother is up and doing her work — cooking, sweeping and washing. Regulated hours of feeding among babies of Peru is almost unknown. Many mothers let their babies go for hours with practically no attention to their cry of hunger or other needs. On the other hand, to some mothers every cry is one of hunger, and she continually nurses it. Let me give you a picture that may be seen almost any day of the year, in almost any town, and in the majority of the houses : A group of little children, a few entirely naked, some with only a little shirt, others with dresses so dirtv that one can hardly imagine what the color or design of the cloth is supposed to be, and still others with their dresses turned wrong side out ( dirtv side in ) . Some of these children are crawling around over the dirt floor, where chickens. ducks and dogs are eating peelings, table scraps, or bones which have been spit on the floor during the meal. Of course, flies are abundant both inside and outside the house. Is it any wonder that there is a very great amount of sickness? Is it any wonder that there is a breaking out over the body and face? Is it anv wonder that about eighty per cent of the children die before reaching the age of five years? Is it any wonder, dear Christian friends, considering the conditions existing when the child is born and under which it grows, that but few survive and yet fewer grow fairly strong? The sad part of all this from our standpoint is that we are not able to follow up these cases because we are so few and the work is so great. They come to us for prayer, but are afraid, some of them, to come to our meetings ; others have no interest beyond seeing their little ones get well. Of course we tell them that He who heals the body has power to heal the soul and wash awav every stain. But one telling, or several, when the mind is upon the sick child, is not enough. There are dozens, or perhaps thousands of these cases, but there is no one to visit them continually. How many, many times have I longed to do it ! How many have died this year from these very homes, and where are their souls? Oh, it grips us tremendously, the thought of these things; but the great majority will have to go without being visited Pray. 052 p mum Page One Hundred Thirteen Page One Hundred Fourteen lil l l lll llilllll ll Hlll l l l llll ll llllii i Philippine Islands This is a summary of the play, The Coming of the Light , written by Dr. J. F. Cottingham, Class of ' 08 in Greek Thelogical course. The play opens with an old man who is reflecting upon the effect of the old system of education, home, and morality. He calls up, in his imagination, his three children, all of whom perished under the greed and lust of the old system. In spite of his suffering, he manifests a deep love for his country; — Alas, my beautiful Philippines which long have been in darkness. . . Oh, my dear Philip- pines, would that we might be free to think pure thoughts, live pure lives, and enjoy the development of mind and soul. Then, with the vision of the prophet, he sees a new day for his beloved country. Part one closes with a group of children singing Philippines, My Philippines. Part two brings forth the new day. The Light has come in the person of Bishop Thoburn. The state church has been broken and it is possible and ex- pedient that the Light shall come at this time. The wonderful advance in twenty-five years, since Bishop Thoburn preached, is very remarkably shown in part three. At the beginning of the period there were no Protestants, no Bibles, no freedom of conscience, — not anything to en- courage Christianity. Now, there are one hundred forty- four deaconesses besides many others who have become Bible Women. One hundred twelve trained nurses have gone forth from Mary Johnston Hospital alone, to labor scientifically and in love. There is a Sunday school army, thirty-five thousand strong. The Filipinos have worked for themselves. They have built two hundred forty-two chapels. Their pastors, about sixty-eight in number, have their own homes. The mason has built six dormitories, thirtv-two stone or cement churches, two schools, besides parts of fifty other buildings. Mr. Tinner has put iron roofs on one hundred forty-one churches, thirty parsonages, six dormitories, and seven other buildings. The printer has contributed his little to the great complex whole. Christian and free education have done a work that can not be measured by any tangible unit. There are ninety preachers in the conference and twelve hundred local preachers and exhorters. The church has a membership of sixty thousand and there are a million Bibles owned by the Filipinos.

It was an old- fashioned open-air hanging, and all the village had turned out to enjoy the proceedings. The negro was on the scaffold which was at the edge of town. The noose was all ready and everything was fixed to spring the trigger when the fire bell rang. The fire was on the other side of town, and everyone felt compelled to go. Accordingly the hangman agreed to delay the hanging. While the crowd was gone an old country nego came along and upon seeing his friend on the scaffold asked him what he was doing. Oh, ah belongs to a movie picture company. We all ' s jus ' playing hang- ing jus ' now. Ah gets fine pay, too — Yassuh, fine pay. Why, ah gets ten dollars a day jus ' foh havin ' mah picture took.

Page One Hundred Twenty lllllllllllllllllllllllllliiiiiiiiiiiiiiininmTTTTrD l — — — —-% Build Your Monument While Living In helping to assure the permanency and world-wide usefulness of Taylor University your investment will endure as it would in very few other ways. Besides, you will be helping a movement that is more liable to be neglected in tiie gif-s and bequests of your neighbors for the simple reason that to most of your neighbors all educational institutions look alike, whereas you have spiritual liglu enough to under- stand that Taylor University occupies a peculiar place in the field of higher education. The very qualities which under God give this institution its reason to exist may constitute an occasion for objection in the minds of some good people who are indifferent to the results of the modern view of the Bible and religion now so wide-spread in educational centers and who are not so particular as you are about the success of a school which excludes dancing and other related forms of worldliness and vice. What You Can Do 1. You can make the school a gift of money or most any kind of bonds or stocks that you hold. 2. You can let the school have a portion of your money on the annuity plan, taking a bond that is adequately secured and non-taxable and that will give you an interest as long as you live, letting the money go to the school at the end of your life. 3. You can buy one of the recent, regular school bonds which are issued in denominations from $1,000 down to $50.00 and which pay 6% interest. 4. You can make your will, which none of us should negle ( ct, and remember Taylor University liberally in your will, notifying the University office of the same, which would encouiage and strengthen the hands of its adminis- tration. The form for including this might be written as follows : I give and bequeath to Taylor University, Upland, Indiana, incorporated by the State of Indiana, the sum of Dollars ( $ ) , and the receipt of the treasurer thereof shall be sufficient dis- charge to my executor tor the same. The situation at Taylor presents several beautiful pos- sibilities to indulge a worthy sentiment in honor of some friend or loved one. 550,000 names a Memorial Building or endows a Chair of Instruction permanently. $10,000 will endow a scholarship with board, room and special courses included. $5,000 will endow a plain scholarship. $1,000 will endow a memorial room. These are but a few of the possibilities found here for using consecrated money in the interest of a great cause.

But it is only reasonable that a well defined leadership of these characteristics was essential before recognition could be won of being the largest fine clothing store in Grant and surrounding counties. Big volume and small profit are fflie corner-stones of the foundation of this business, and in any one of the group sections of Men ' s Clothing you will find larger assortments than in the entire stock of the majority of stores.

INDIANA. March 15, 1924. Mr. 0. H. Worley, Mgr. , College Annual Department, Indianapolis Engraving Co., Indianapolis, Indiana. My dear Mr. Worley:- We desire to convey to you our gratitude and appre- ciation for the splendid service which you and your company have given the 1924 Gem Staff. Technically your workmanship is without fault, as is evidenced by the quality of our book for both this year and last year. Prom a business standpoint, your thorough and straight- forward Christian business principles have made it a pleasure for us to work with you. We have found Personal Service to be the outstanding feature of your work. This has enabled us to put out a book not only of the highest quality, but different from anything this school has ever put out. Due principally to this we have been able to sell almost the entire student body and make the book the talk of the campus . Mr. Worley, you and your company deserve the credit for the success of our book, for without your counsel, advice and seemingly inexhaustible supply of original ideas we would not have been able to produce such an excellent book and at the same time keep the price of production within our means. Very sincerely yours, QtP-tf wlr wll Sditor-in-chief .
