THE PITCANOOK Uur Spiritual llsfiiiie VESPERS The cares of the week are laid aside as we meet every Friday evening to spend an hour in vesper service. It seems that burdens vanish during the fifteen-minute song service, as we welcome the Sabbath with hymns of praise. We have all been inspired to higher thinking and better living by the interesting talks to which we have listened in these services. . It has been our privilege during the year to have with us in these meetings workers from different parts of the Held. We have appreciated their sermons and also those given by different members of the faculty. These weekly meetings are indeed a blessing to our school. In them we have received strength to become better Christian young men and women. WORSHIP At Yakima Valley Academy we enjoy the blessings of spiritual activities not to be found in ordinary schools. Each morning before taking up the duties of the day, we prepare ourselves for the temptations we must meet by attending morning worship in the dining room. It consists of only a short scripture or inspirational reading, a song, and a petition to God to guide us through the day, but it helps us to begin the day aright and prepares us to do our tasks acceptably. We assemble in the girls' and boys' parlors for evening worship. One evening a week is devoted to prayer bands, one to the clubs, and the others to talks and readings which help us to solve our problems and to build true Christian characters. We are glad for these services, for they prepare us to live such lives that we can be of service to Jesus and to our associates. HELEN LAMBERTON. 20

YAKIMA VALLEY ACADEMY Nlliissiionairy Volunteers The members of our Missionary Volunteer Society have volunteered their time, their service, an drheir cheerfulness to others. The time we have given is not a few moments grudgingly spent at a task. Time given willingly and lovingly in whole-hearted service for others is the joy of every Christian. Our reward is the happiness and the satisfaction that come with every good deed well done. This joy in the life cannot but radiate to those around us, and the world can see that we are volunteers to a work that may mean the salvation of those with whom we come in contact. Our society has endeavored to fulfill the purpose for which the Missionary Volunteer organization was established. Each Sabbath afternoon our regular meetings are held, in which are presented topics of interest and inspiration. The members of the Literature Band have given their time and labors in placing truth-filled literature in the homes of interested persons. The Sunshine Band has brought cheer to the hearts of many whose lives are often drab and cheerless. Nor is the work confined to organized bands. The individual members find many opportunities to be of service somewhere. Every Yakima Valley Academy student a true Missionary Volunteer is our motto. JEAN SMICK. 21
