C H A PEL Only an hour a day, five days a week, but it has done more than scarcely any other influence during the school year to shape our destinies and to give us certainty as we project our thinking into the future. From week to week we have met in our college auditorium Monday through Friday at eleven, eager to know the details of the service, and equally inquiring as to the message and its effect on our thinking and our plans — concerned as to whether or not it would help us find the answers to some of the questions which bothered us but could not be expressed. And here in our songs and our prayers, in our testimonies and the messages we have found some of the answers for which we have sought. It would be difficult to say just what it has meant to have our faculty members before us on the platform — what it has meant to have appear before us various ones of our own number to sing and to thrill our hearts with melody and the truths presented — what it has added to our lives to be brought into such close contact with some of the leading evangelists, lecturers, and pastors of our church. Perhaps it would be impossible to say how much those things have mattered — perhaps it is not necessary for us to say or to know — but not one of us can forget the surge of new courage we have received in those hours, nor can we regret that we have sat with our classmates from day to day and with them have seen a vision of what we could do — that we have gathered around the altar at the close of services and resolved anew to do our share of the task. Whether it was an informal talk about keeping paper picked up around the buildings or a masterly sermon on the glories of the plan of salvation, day by day we felt our store of knowledge increased, and believed that we were making a faint bit of progress toward the person we wanted to become, and we gained a more reasonable hope that some day our search would be proved successful. And so from day to day we met. we sang, we prayed, we worshipped, and we were made better for our every gathering. Some of the out-of-town speakers for the year have been: Dr. Hugh C.
