The Evangelical United Brethern Church is in the business of higher education because, as a church, we believe that at the very heart of edu- cation must be Christ Himself. West- mar College is an institution of the church, and therefore, is interested in the commitment of the total life to Jesus Christ. We believe that this is a part of higher education. Calvary Church is serving the Westmar Community with morning and evening worship services each Sunday anda service of prayer and Bible study each Thursday. Between 125 and 175 students attendthe mid-week service. The church and the college sponsor jointly the Religious Emphasis Week each year and the congregation in the Holy Week services. Dr. A. G. Martin, Dakota Conference Superin- tendent, was the Religious Emphasis Week speaker the week of October 31 through November 5, 1954. Ejighty- six young people made commitments to Jesus Christ in many areas of life. There was a total of 163 different de- cisions. Westmar College does not have ! a religious program. Westmar Col- lege ''is'' a religious program. --Rev. Kenneth I. Clawson AS OUR CHURCH GROWS WE GROW IN CHRISTIAN SERVICE Under the direction of Mr. Day, and Miss Crockett at the organ, the one hundred voice churchchoir plays an impor- tant part in the Sunday moming services and growth in Christian Service.
