T~~ C~URC~ R~VIVALS

Two highlights of the school year which hold much interest for the students of Bethany-Peniel College are the spring and fall revivals. Anxious to see a great revival, many of the students gathered in prayer meetings for days preceding the meeting, so that a spiritual zeal prevailed on the campus when the evangelist arrived. The revivals of this year helped the school immeasurably. Ideals were lifted; spirituality intensified; and almost the entire student body were aligned on the side of God. Rev. Jarrette and Dell Aycock condu cted the first semester revival in a manner that met the requiremen ts of every standard of measurement. Rev. Mr. Aycock represented the finest type of Christian scholarship combined with spiritual power and compassion . His philosophy of religion unfolded to his audience an appeal to achieve a well-rounded, balanced, Christian character. The afternoon forum discussions conducted among Christian workers were of great benefit to all who attended, as were also Mrs . Aycock's "Listen, Girls" talks. Rev. Bona Fleming was the evangelist for the second semester revival. Outstanding for his unique illustrations and appeal, the Rev. Mr. Fleming's messages were of great interest. Victory spread over the campus m an old-fashioned revival and many students were definitely saved or sanctified.
