These, how- ever, were more than programsg they brought the challenge ol lives exhausted for God in India, America, China, South America-lives empowered by the Spirit of God to do great things. Among these were Dr. lldman. Dr. Wftilter L. XVilson and others. Also included were many of our students' parents: Rev. P. H. Holsinger and Dr. Harold R. Seelye. Rev, Milton B. Lindberg, Mrs. Paul Frie-Qlerichsen, Mr. W. G, McCartney. A series of films including Dust or Destiny and The God of Creation was shown with great interest and blessing while programs planned by various classes with student participation proved to be not only interesting hut also rich in spiritual values.

ru .1 , a reuiua Sweeping over our campus this year vve have seen a great povver. Truly the Lord has been with us in a very real vvay. The reality of the presence of the Holy Spirit has hovered over us moment by moment-on every ottasion. XVe have seen His quiet, but forceful stirring, the miraculous and powerful way in which lle has moved and worked in eaeh of our lives. He has brought us to know ourselves as individuals and at the same time united us into one body-students and faculty alike. A sweet harmony. a spirit of love and good will has prevailed. And it was all brought about in the XY'heaton revival. The evangelistic services of the first semester aroused our Consciousness of a need for revival. The working of the Holy Spirit was evident in different happenings that seemed at the time to be isolated but were really in the plan of the Lord. Then it was in the second semester serv- iees that each person began to realize his part in it. We saw thrilling answers to earnest prayers for ourselves and our schoolmates. The resulting change in the atmosphere of the school was a real blessing from the hand of the Lord, for which we praise Him. Truly, a jubilee Year !
