FIVE CANDLES BURNING BRIGHTLY Into the hearts and lives of Tennessee Wesleyan students there shine the warm radiant rays of five candles burning in the spirit of Christian ideals. Those candles are known as the Y. W. C. A., the Y- M. C. A, the Christian Service Club, the Queen Esther Circle, and the Religious Council. During the past years, these candles have lighted the pathway of every student who belonged to Tennessee Wesleyan. Their glow has been felt in every activity whether scholastic, social or spiritual- And strange as it may seem, each one has grown taller, throwing its rich light forward and upward as the years have passed. With the beginning of this past year, warm beams of welcome reached out and drew new friends into their cir- cles. Then the intense flame of cooperative service burned into the hearts of our Christian young men and women until now we see the realization of aims and hopes of ' 36 and ' 37. Those who found a deep spiritual life seem- ingly beyond their reach have been drawn by their fellow students into the circle of candlelight which symbolizes the citizenry of Christ ' s Kingdom here on earth. Drawn into the light of these organizations, our students seek to carry away with them a single shining ray to guide them — onward and upward. The circle of ' 36- ' 37 is now broken by the parting of students whose work has been completed. Nevertheless, soft shadows remain to encourage others to carry the torch of duty faithfully and loyally. To those who await the com- ing year and those who will start anew, may your services of love and fellow- ship and duty to God, add to the brilliance of our candles- May each future year find them beckoning on the threshold of a Christian college and light- ing the halls of that college with the rays of love and service Five Candles Burning Brightly. 20.
