Senior Class Prophecy It was a beautiful day in May, when I reached the S ah ara desert, a place I had longed to visit in my travels, having read and heard of the many wonders and beauties of the desert. My friend and I arrived at the little village of B eni-M ora, in the afte r noon. As the train pulled in, the eager faces of countless A rabs stared in upon us from the scorched field of m anoeuvres w here Saphis w ere exercising in the gathering tw i light. H av in g given our luggage tickets to a porter, we passed out of the station and made our way tow ard the H otel du D esert, accompanied by our guide. W e walked tow ard the long gardens of B eni-M ora. W hite dust w as flying from the road, along w hich many of the A rab aristocracy w ere indolently strolling. In their w hite robes they looked, we thought, like monks, though the cigarettes many of them were smok ing fought against the illusion. Some of them were dressed in pale colored cloth, and they held each others hands loosely as they sauntered along, chattering in soft contralto voices. Two or three were attended by servants, who walked a pace or tw o behind them. They were members of great families, rulers of tribes, men who had influence over the S ahara people. W e turned aside from the road and came into a large tunnel formed by mimosa trees that met above a broad path. To right and left w ere other little paths branching am ong the trunks of the fru it trees that grew luxuriantly. Between the sandy brown banks, carefully flattened and beaten hard by the spades of A rab gardeners, glided stream s of opaque water. In the tunnel the light was very delicate and tinged with green. A few A rabs were sitting on benches in dream y attitudes, w ith their heelless slippers hanging from the toes of their bare feet. Beyond the entrance of the tunnel we could see two horsem en galloping at a trem endous pace into the desert. T heir red cloaks stream ed out over the horses, which devoured the earth as if in a frenzy of em ula tion. T hey disappeared into the last glories of the sun, which still lingered on the plain and blazed am ong the sum m its of the red mountains. All the contrasts of this land were exquisite to us, and, in some m ysterious way, suggested eternal th in g s; w hispering through color, gleam and shadow, through the pattern of leaf and rock, through the air, now fresh, now tenderly w arm and perfumed, through the silence that hung like a filmy cloud in the golden heaven. T he quiet of these gardens was delightful and was only interrupted now and then by the sound of wheels upon the road as a carriage rolled by to some house which was hidden in the distance of the oasis. The seated A rabs scarcely disturbed it by their m urm ured talk. M any of them indeed said nothing, but rested like the lotus-eaters in graceful attitudes with hanging hands, and eyes soft as the eyes of gazelles, th a t re garded the shadowy paths and creeping w aters w ith a grave serenity born of the inmost spirit of idleness.

A Ship Afire at Sea Charles A llen M cConnell W hat stark te rro r im agination conjures w ith these w ords! M other and the two daughters were taking P rofessor W hite and the children over to Santa C atalina to view the sea gardens through the glass-bottom boat, so C arl and W illis and I would a fishing go—deep sea fishing. Off the pier at Santa M onica the day’s pleasure boats rode at anchor—big cra ft and small, some chartered by private p arties; some to carry the public out for a half day’s sp o rt; one, the Owl II, ready to make a full day of it. The crowd with reels in hand is anxious to get away, for w ord is out that the barracuda are running. Even I , an old fisherman, am feeling trem ors of excitem ent, for if there is any keener sport than hooking one of these sea-tigers I have not yet found it. The day is clear, and the sea calm. T he Fashion, a trim , well-equipped gasoline launch, pulled up to the landing slip and made fast. T he crowd surges; the boat is quickly filling. Some silly one rem arks that if we were to be in the fashion we would have to go in the Fashion. But the Fashion is a half-day boat. The question we three argued w as: Shall we take this first boat to the fishing grounds, even though it returns at noon, or shall we w ait an hour more and stay out longer? W hile we discussed the m atter, the boat received its quota of pas sengers, and pulled out with Good Luck shouts following. Two hours later, fifteen miles out, from the rail of the Owl II, I hooked the first fish of the catch, a fine mackerel. C arl followed w ith a five pound h a lib u t; then I came again w ith the first barracuda— the day’s sport was on. W ithin the radius of a mile about us were half a dozen or m ore boats engaged as we were. A t a distance of two miles rode the Fashion at anchor, lazily rolling in the swells. As we looked tow ard her, a slender spiral of smoke shot up from her engine room. W h at could th at m ean? Then, as the smoke reddened and burst into a billow, came the cry, “The Fashion's a fire ! The Fashion's afire!” I have experienced the sickening sense of hum an helplessness as the solid ground weaved and rocked in earthquake. I am glad to have known that sensation—once. To behold a ship at sea, wrapped in flames, w ith its cargo of hum an lives, ranks am ong one’s most thrilling hours—but I pray God I may never behold the like again. T he w histle of our boat screeched rapid w arning blasts. “All lines in,” shouted the captain, and at highest speed we entered the race with death. Q uickly we were joined by other craft, even a lone rowboat, for such is the law of the sea. O ur rear scuppers were a w a sh ; waves broke over the stern as we rushed to save, if possible, some lives. A mile away, we caught sight of black specks, here and there, in the sea—hum an heads. “Get the life preservers ready to throw ,” ordered the captain. Some of us are praying, “ D ear Lord, help them to stay up until we can reach them .” W e are close by now. A m an’s heavy, black sw eater floats p ast; some life preservers— empty. H ere they are, almost w ithin reach, swim m ing desperately away from the fiery inferno. They are clinging to life preservers; there had been no time to put them on. Closer by now. H ere is a man supporting his w ife with one arm while he holds to a life preserver with the other. They are deep in the w ater, and the waves break over them, but he cries, “ D on’t stop for us, go for those who didn't get preservers.” ( Continued, on page 76)

Junior Class A nother year of our school life has come to a close; and when we say this, there comes over us a commingled feeling of joy and sadness; joy, because we have reached another landm ark on our g reat jou rn ey ; sadness, because we shall have to separate from our dear teachers and old school friends. I f we have done our best and have m ade good use of our time, happy are w e; but if we have not taken advantage of our opportunities from day to day, sad are we. Paul said, “ Study to show thyself approved unto God, workm an that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of tru th ,” and we today are try in g to follow his exhortation. T he Ju n io r Class has realized that success is not found as a m atter of chance, and therefore has worked diligently through these years. The way has not been altogether smooth, but like most other roads it has been rough and narrow in places. O ur attitude has ever been one of determ ination to go through in spite of obstacles, or we, like many of our form er fellow classmen, might have fallen by the wayside. T he Jun io r Class this year is the largest it has ever been in the history of the school. W e have had the privilege and great honor of having P rofessor S. S. W hite, president of our college, as our sponsor. P rofessor W hite has been one of us, but he has lived such a noble life and has upheld such high ideals that we feel we have been greatly benefited by this year's w ork with him. The Ju n io r Class gave a Junior-S enior banquet. T his was the first of such ever given at B ethany-Peniel College. Some of the most efficient and most useful students in school are members of our class. Two of our num ber hold prom inent positions on the s ta ff; eight are in the glee clu b s; one boy is in two of the college quartets ; four of our girls compose the College Ladies' q u arte t; and almost w ithout exception, all of our class are enrolled in the Fine A rts D epartm ent; in fact, three of the F ine A rts graduates come from the Ju n io r Class. Bethany-Peniel College, we feel, is one of God’s chosen centers of education. It is one of the largest schools in our N azarene movement and it affords not only the highest type of m ental development, but also the highest type of spiritual and social development. O ur teachers are a constant source of inspiration to us to live nobler, purer, and tru e r C hristian lives. W e intend by God’s help and grace to be more useful after leaving school than we would have been had we not received a full, w ell-rounded education. O f all the schools, o'er all the lands, Some may go d o w n ; but this one stands. H er earthly form may fade aw ay; H er buildings molder and d ec ay ; But by our class, her praise shall be H eralded through all eternity! F. D. S

The Lost Trail Carol G. Spruce It had been a long, hard climb for M ilam Evans and his little daughter, Jewell. E ver since noon they had followed the trail down the m ountain side, th at led to the camp far below, w here the brave wife and m other was aw aiting their return. M ilam had rem arked several times to his daughter that they m ust h u rry if they would reach home before darkness settled down upon the m ountain and hid the trail from their sight. B riskly they picked their way over the dim path, the little girl engrossed in the w onders w hich nature had spread about them, confident that her father was able to answ er the many questions with which she pressed him. As he replied to her queries, Milam thought of the many tim es he had come with his questions and problems to his F ath er—the One who knows and understands all. And his heart rejoiced as he realized that his every question had been answered, his every problem solved. Milam grew more and more thoughtful as they w ent on down the trail, though thrilled w ith the grandeur and beauty of lofty crag, darkening forest, and distant valleys beneath. A huge rock loomed up before them, and he could not see the trail out beyond. But the track wound around the shoulder of the mountain, and they paused to gaze at the glory of a distant range, bathed in the purple haze of the O ctober evening. S tartin g 011, they were suddenly aw are that the trail had come to an abrupt end. The father, puzzled, searched this way and that, but not a sign of the trail could he see. It seemed as though every living being who had come over th at path had vanished at that point. A w are of the danger of attem pting the descent with no path to guide, w here a false step in the grow ing darkness might mean a sw ift drop into the depths below, M ilam 's face became gray with fear. H is heart almost failed him as he looked at his little daughter and then at the lengthening shadows of the trees. If they failed to discover the trail, w hat m ight it mean to spend the night upon the m ountain side— w hat danger from the wild beasts known to be lurking in those fastn esses! A gain he looked into the face of the little girl, but there was no fear th e re ; she was confident that her father would protect her from all danger. A gain Milam was reminded of the w atchfulness and care of his H eavenly Father, and he prayed th at H is protection m ight be given them now. T u rn in g to his daughter, Mr. Evans said, “Jewell, you sit here upon this rock while I go to look for the trail. It m ust be somewhere n ear.” H e tried to speak bravely, but his voice faltered. T he little girl returned to him a smile of confidence, as she obeyed. The father clambered down over the rocks several feet below, and then searched above, but there was no trace on either side—the trail ended abruptly at the ju ttin g point of rock. Finally he caught a glimpse, at some distance ahead, of som ething that looked like a trail. Yes, there was the little bush from which Jewell had broken a limb, ( Continued on Page 87)

The College Sophomore Class of W e are not the w ork of chance. O u r destiny was not w rought in some mysterious, unknown realm of uncertainty. W e believe our presence, our ideals, our struggles our trium phs had a beginning, shall we say, in the early plannings of God. On the sea of college life we started alm ost two years ago, w ith sails set for a definite goal. O ur goal was, and is, and ever shall be, to breathe into the lives of others the great and w orthw hile principles w hich w ere breathed into us in B. P. C. W e have not been in several small boats, merely d riftin g o’er the solemn main of college life; but we have a ship all our own, manned by a sturdy crew, piloted with a keen eye, and kept in trim with sails furled wide and full-speed ahead, sailing ever onw ard, grandly onw ard in the course which lies ahead. The sun shines, the ripples on the w ater are tipped w ith diamonds. U nder the proud w aving flag of B. P. C. our Sophom ore ship sails on. T he sun as it creeps over the rim of the horizon touches and beams on our ship, a swiftly moving swan-like figure of w hite upon the w ater, while little waves caress her sides w ith silken gentleness. As we onw ard sail with the prow of our ship tow ard the East, we look back W est ward, the w onderful W est into which the sun has slipped each evening like the coin dropped from the w idow ’s fingers into the treasu ry box of the temple. W e behold the fading glory of its golden rays, banking themselves against the deep blue sky while the fleecy clouds floating above fold over its crim son face like a curtain and w ith it, closing our second college year. W atching the dancing waves which only a few months past gently pressed themselves against our ship’s side, noting too, the dangerous rocks and floating icebergs of trials and perplexities, of m aking creditable grades, of paying class bills, and safely evading that impulsive little Freshm an ship so gay and hopeful, we smoothly glide on in the direction of the rising E astern sun of hope for the third year of our college course. F or truly its rising appears to hasten our erstw hile fading dream s to one of resplendent Reality. W e are glad we have built well our ship, for now in the place of a journey of only two years, we are to enjoy a continued voyage of two more years in our own B. P. C. w aters. W e are fully aw are that we are only half way tow ard our jo u rn ey ’s end; but when we contem plate these tw o wonderful years on the congenial bosom of the w aters of Bethany-Peniel College, we are thrilled when the Flag-ship Captain cries out from the tow ering m ast pole, “ Sail on in your course, full two more leagues are y o u rs!” The w ords have gone forth, and now w ith queenly magnificence, w ith silvery sails full-flown, she moves with the balmy breezes of hope. O ur dear old Sophomore ship proudly plows on tow ard the next lap of her journey, with every loyal member of her crew shouting cheer on cheer, for the land of opportunity is lying ju st ahead. Some ships sail East, And some sail W est By the self-same winds th at blow. I t’s not the gale, But the set of the sail, T hat determ ines which way they go.
G od’s Call of a Man The w ork of the m inistry is a great work, and for one to succeed he must have the Divine approval, yea, the call of God to that work. Jesus told H is disciples that they had not chosen H im but th at H e had chosen them. If God calls a man, he cannot satisfy the Holy S pirit or his own conscience unless he assumes the responsibility, fights the foe of all souls, and leads lost men to God. God m ust have men to carry on H is work, and He chooses H is men as carefully as a gigantic corporation or a bank would choose its chief executive. O utstanding am ong the Apostles is Paul. W e see him first at the stoning of Stephen, and then on the road to Damascus. H is purpose is to exterm inate Christianity, thinking him self to be perform ing a service for God. God saw in this Pharisee that which H e could use for H is glory. The Jew s had rejected Jesus, and, since the Gospel as a w orld message m ust be carried to the Gentiles, there m ust be a message bearer who was not only acquainted w ith God and knew God, but one who also knew about God. One who was a Jew could best qualify, since his people had the law of God and had had personal touch and com m unication w ith God for several generations. A Gentile would not have the advantage of this progressive revelation of God, and would be in danger of falling back into his old heathen way under the persecution w hich was sure to come. P aul was a Jew. Second, God needed a m an who could meet the people everyw here as one of them, a man who was not a captive slave, a free man. Rome controlled nearly all the civilized w orld at th at time. God needed a man who was a Roman citizen. H e found this in Paul, who asserts a num ber of times, in the Bible, the fact of his Roman citizenship. Then, God not only needed a man who knew H im and was one of the people him self, but H e also needed a man who was qualified to carry the message to them. Paul had sat at the feet of one of the greatest educators of his day, Gamaliel. H e knew, probably, seven different languages and was thus enabled to help those whom he served intelligently. T hird, God m ust have a man who has courage, who will stand for right anyw here and under any circum stances, who will be true to God in spite of dungeon, fire, or steel. A nd yet this man m ust be wise, a man of good judgm ent, and one who will not needlessly risk his life, recklessly endanger the cause of God, or th w art God’s message and purpose to m ankind by a foolish move. Paul rebuked the devil in the Phillipian girl, yet he did not revile the authorities when they scourged him and cast him in the inner prison. H e heard the sentence, took the punishm ent, w ent to jail, started a revival, got God on the scene, converted the jailer and his family, and established a church there. Last, but not least, God needed and found in Paul a man who was pliable under the leadership of the H oly Ghost. W hen once he came in contact with Jesus and recog nized him as the Son of God, his one question was, “ W hat w ilt thou have me to d o ?” H e continued to ask this question all through life, and when all of life was over he said, “ I have fought a good fight.”

The Freshman Class In Bethany-Peniel College, under the southern skies of Oklahoma, is a loyal class of tru e blue Freshm en gathered from many different states. Such a class is of course a constant source of annoyance to the Upperclassm en. Several times in their plottings against the humble ones they were chagrined by the discovery of the presence of Freshm en. And again discovering w ires leading from their secret place of meeting, they of course found Freshm en at the end of the wires re ceiving their secrets. T his rivalry is all good-natured, lending zest and spirit to the F reshm an’s first days in school. The first im portant action of the class was the election of officers. These w orthy office holders are proving themselves to be real leaders, not only of the class, but also of the school. T heir sponsor is a real asset to the class. P atient in a crisis, helpful and obliging in all activities, and always at her post of duty. She will live long in the hearts of her protegees. In none of the activities of the school is this class lagging. The position of advertising m anager of The A rrow is held by a Freshm an. In basket ball her team takes first place. It is hard to say w hat the debating team would be w ithout her F reshm an members. In the contest over the sale of tickets for the Jean V aljean lecture the ever faithful Freshm en were victorious. Still another field of activity, by far the most im portant, is that of C hristian service. A num ber of the students are preparing to be m inisters, m issionaries, teachers, or song evangelists. The w ork they will do will forever he a m onument of achievement to the class. T he social functions have not been num erous, but they may be remembered for their quality rather than their quantity. T he get-acquainted social will be remembered as the basis of many beautiful and lasting friendships and acquaintances. The leap year party was a wholesome good tim e for everyone. The blushing maidens m aking dates w ith the none the less blushing boys will be a lasting memory in many minds. T his noble class selected for its colors green and pink and for its flower the snap dragon of corresponding colors. T h eir motto is “O riginators, not Im itators.” T he class has successfully made itself a class of loyal Freshm en, one hundred per cent for B. P. C. and has laid a good foundation for the best class of the school in succeeding years. Z. M. W.
Her Mother's Picture It was a beautiful June m orning on the w estern plains of Texas. Isabell Osborn pulled a broad-brim m ed hat over her brown wavy hair, and long canvas gloves over her slender hands. “ W hat a w onderful m orning to be out in the a ir,” she exclaimed. every breath of it.”
“I shall enjoy
As this orphan girl crossed the pasture, she remembered the times she had w atched her m other paint. Always there w as a message in her pictures, for her m other loved C hrist and art, and Isabell was grateful for this heritage. T hinking of the past week, she s a id : “ I do appreciate Mr. and M rs. Bingham for helping me finish this last year of high school and I ’m glad to prove it. But— I never could have won the scholarship had it not been for m other’s picture.” H aving the first year of college to look forw ard to, made the sum m er pass rapidly for Isabell. Before she hardly realized it, she was in Oklahoma, registering in BethanyPeniel College. T he m atron of the g irls’ dorm itory assigned her a room on the second floor w ith Bonnie Mae Sum m ers, and she w as beginning to feel at home until there came one of those rainy Saturdays. “W hat a gloomy day,” she said, looking up from her book. “ Yes, it is, but w e’ll feel better if we w rite a cheerful letter home,” answered her friend. “I believe you are right, Bonnie,” concluded Isabell. She filled her pen and began a letter to the Binghams, when she heard a noise. Looking out of the window the girls saw people running and yelling som ething about a fire. “ Oh, let’s go see w here it is,” exclaimed Isabell. T hey ran out into the yard to find it was the dorm itory itself on fire. “Oh w hat shall we d o ?” cried one girl. “ My books and clothes are in my ro o m !” sobbed another. Isabell stared at the angry flames as if m easuring them, then dashed up the steps and disappeared in a cloud of black smoke. “Isabell, come b a c k !” wailed Bonnie. “Come out of that burning building,” screamed another. The firemen w ere in a terrible battle. The roof was ready to fall when one of the men came running, carry in g an unconscious girl. As quickly as the flames on her clothing w ere smothered, she was rushed to the hospital. The nurse w as cutting the charred rags from her body, and in so doing, discovered a m arvelous w ork of a rt which the girl had clasped in her bosom. It was a picture of a group of young people studying art, music, and literature. In their midst was aman with a kind face who seemed so glad to be w ith them. H e was the M an w ith the seamless garm ent. “D id— it—get—b urned?” she asked faintly. “No, it’s all rig h t,” answ ered the nurse. And Isabell closed her eyes in satisfaction, for she was now going to be with the kind face in her m other’s picture. A. C. R.

Bible Conference A m ong the many rich blessings w hich Bethany-Peniel College has enjoyed this year was the P reach ers’ Convention. It was a jo in t convention of the E astern and W estern O kla homa D istricts. One of the contributions which made it a success was the large delegation of preachers from these two districts. The prim e object of the convention was to create a better spirit of brotherhood and b rin g about greater unity between these two closely connected districts.

T. W i l l i a m s
Then, too, the educational phase of the conference would be hard to overestim ate. Dr. R. T. W illiam s (w ho is a resident of our college tow n) gave each m orning to the preachers some of the most practical and inspiring lectures that one could possibly wish f o r ; also, he preached each even ing in a very profitable manner.
P rofessor M cConnell, our Dean of Theology, also gave lectures each m orning on Theological subjects which were very instructive to every hearer. P rofessor Gilmore, one of our splendid young preachers, also a teacher on our college faculty, gave many lectures on serm on preparation. H is talks were practical and helpful, especially to the preachers. Professor W ilson, who is our college R egistrar, gave some talks on Psychology, which were enlightening and profitable. Professor S. S. W hite, who is now the full-fledged president of Bethany-Peniel College, also spoke on the subject of Psychology. All who have heard his lectures on this phase of education are well aw are of his high type of thought and presentation. Each m orning at chapel we had some visiting preacher to speak to us, which proved unusually profitable, especially to the student body. T he Board of Regents met in conjunction with the convention; their presence and fellowship were welcomed by all. T he com ing of our brethren to us will be long remembered for their encouragem ent. T here was much inspiration from having this goodly company in our midst. W e do not know exactly how the brethren felt, but we feel that they w ent away with a g reater interest in the school w ork than they had had before. T he conference was a success from every standpoint. May this treat be repeated to each of the succeeding student bodies in the years th at are to come. G.W . B.

College Functions It was a beautiful afternoon in Jan u ary when the College students gathered in front of the new classroom building, soon to be off for supper in the woods. All was in a stir, for the place m ust be reached in time to prepare w ieners and marshm allows, have supper, and get back by seven o’clock. W e soon reached the river. F ire was kindled and the boys were out searching for a forked stick in order to roast two w ieners at a time. T he tim e was fast passing and we m ust soon be studying. A fter a song prayer the couples could be seen return in g to their old stom ping ground.

A PA CH E AND COM ANCHE In looking through this volume, no doubt but that you have observed the Indian theme all along. T he names Com anche and Apache, you recognized, are also the names of tw o of the leading Indian T ribes of Oklahoma. In carry in g out the Indian theme we decided to call the two contesting sides by these names. T he student body was equally divided into two contestant parties. and a girl w ere selected as leaders of each side.
Then
a boy
T he list of nam es was given to the leaders which was prepared in order to have the sides well balanced. A fter having all previous arrangem ents made, a chapel service was given in which the contest was launched. T here were several enthusiastic speeches given to create the proper atm osphere for annual selling. Immediately the leaders came to the front and began to read the names appearing on th eir lists; having each student to come forw ard as his name w as read. T his was continued until the student body was standing in two lines in the building. T he distinguishing feature of the opposite sides was the color of tag they wore. T he A paches w ore a red tag, while that of the Comanches was green. These tags were given out while standing in line in order to identify each fellow with his own side. T he next proposition presented was th at of getting the students to buy an annual themselves while in the notion. The leaders had contracts and these w ere given to and signed by all the students who would purchase an annual, and returned to the leader then and there. It w as interesting how each respective side got busy to get every member to buy a book. They did not stop w ith their own immediate members, how ever, but w orked the town as well. A half holiday was given at the close of the contest, and the losing side served the w inners on this occasion. Finally the last moment came with the Comanches in the lead. T he Apaches were good losers, however the Com anches did not win by extrem ely large m argin.

Freshm an’s Soliloquy To pass, or not to pass? T h at is the question. W hether ’tis nobler in the mind to suffer T he pangs and erro rs of outrageous gram m ar, O r to take arm s against a sea of erro rs And by opposing, end them. To pass— to flunk, To flunk once m ore? But if we pass W e say we end the headache and the thousand N ervous shocks th at flesh is heir to. ’Tis a consolation hopeless to be wished. To flunk, to pass—to flunk? P erchance to Be an “U pperclassm an !” Aye th ere’s my c h a n ce! F o r if we flunk w hat hopes may come W hen we have lain aside our books. W e must give p a u s e ! T h ere’s the respect T h at makes so long a F resh m an ’s life. W hy m ust we bear the slights and scorns of “U pperclassm en?” The oppressor’s w rong? T hey are contumely. W hy m ust we grun t and sw eat under such a w e a r y life? W hy m ust we fear the undiscovered realm s before us, F rom whose bourne few Freshm en have survived? W hy not let us bear the ills we have, T han fly to others we know not of? Thus, Conscience does make cow ards of us a ll; A nd our native hue of resolution V anishes with the pale cast of such thoughts, T he enterprises of great pith and moment. W ith this regard their currents tu rn away, A nd thus we lose the name of action. B.

HOW E ver grow ing up and out. Up and at it when 't is needed. F ingers made for the piano. “ Silence! S h !” The spice of the class is he. I love everybody. A m an’s a man for all o’ that. H e m ust have his fun. F rom morn till night her uke w orked right. H appy am I, from care I ’m free. H eights and depths are hers to know. Small of stature, big of heart. “ T h a t’s not the way to do it.” She sways them as she wills. They can conquer who believe they can. Free, light, yet stern was she. Lost in the fog. “W ho perseveres will be crow ned.” A ready hand and a willing mind. Kind and “m erry.”

If one must choose for study only one of the fine arts— let th at choice be a study of piano. No other instrum ent has as many possibilities, such a variety of uses nor more beautiful tone qualities than does the piano. Public opinion has decreed th at it is the most popular solo instrum ent in existence. At the present time we find a piano in almost every home and good piano-players will soon be as common as H igh School graduates. Besides being a popular solo instrum ent we find it being used almost entirely as an accom panim ent to other instrum ents, vocal numbers, choirs, orchestras, etc. No instrum ent seems more perfect as an accom panim ent. T he train in g one receives in learning to play the piano is w orthw hile itself. T hro this train in g one receives the strictest discipline as well as the greatest inspiration. Such a com bination can but produce a beautiful character. Then the refining influence of a course of music study must not be omitted. One cannot live in a realm of beautiful m usic and love chaos, brusqueness or coarseness in any of its forms. Also the ability to play well the average classics is a great pleasure to oneself aside from the musical education one receives in acquiring this degree of efficiency. A fter m astering a classic one feels the com position belongs to him self as well as the composer. Such w ealth! Aside from the training, pleasure and refining influence th at a study of the piano gives to the individual, there is also to be considered its influence in the home. H ere the entire fam ily can become fam iliar with and appreciate the w orld’s best music. E xcepting Christianity, no other force can bring as much joy, happiness, refinement and contentm ent to the home. Longfellow said. “ Show me the home wherein music dwells and I will show you a happy, peaceful and contented home.”

Voice
N o branch of musical education is of g reater im portance than the proper develop ment and train in g of the voice. T here is no instrum ent so perfect in construction or so great in its capacity to influence and move the world as the human voice. “I shot an arrow into the air, It fell to earth, I knew not w here; F or so sw iftly it flew , the sight Could not fo llo w it in its flight. I breathed a song into the air, It fell to earth, I know not w here; For w hat has sight so keen and strong, That it can follow the flig h t o f a song? Long, long afterw ard, in an oak I found the arrow, still unbroke; A n d the so n g , from beginning to end, I found again in the heart of a friend — L o n g f ell o w .

The Orchestra
N othing can inspire the young people of a school or com m unity as much as a musical organization such as an orchestra. To such an organization they can bring their mediocre musical talents and by com bining them with the talents of others, produce a musical interpretation that is really quite pleasing to themselves and others, while they are doing this they are increasing their own musical efficiency, w idening their knowledge of good music, learning to cooperate with others and receiving that aesthetic or spiritual train in g that a literary education alone does not give. P arents and teachers are aw akening to the fact that the boy or girl with only a literary education is only partially educated in that there is an aesthetic train in g th at is absolutely essential. T he study of music in any of its form s is a part of this training. M usical train in g lifts the morals of the individual, aw akens g reater am bitions, and purifies the ideals. It is also a character builder because of its constant suggestion of harm ony, order and beauty. Men do not commit crim es to the strains of beautiful music. E xpressing this same thought the director of the largest Boy Scout Band in A m erica said, “Teach a boy to blow a horn and he will never blow a safe.” Shakespeare had som ew hat the same idea when he said, “The man th at hath no music in him self— Let no such man be tru sted .” Bethany-Peniel College has a th irty piece orchestra under the direction of Mrs. Gilmore. T his organization has added much to the program s of the school w ith th eir beautiful num bers. May the orchestra increase in num ber and efficiency is our wish.

The Choir
It must be adm itted that sacred music is as divinely inspired as sermons and w rit ings. H ayden, when com posing his oratorio, “ The C reation”, said “ I fell on my knees daily and prayed earnestly to God that H e would g ran t me strength to carry the w ork and praise H im w orthily.” W hen the composition was finished and produced, and the audience broke into tum ultuous applause, the feeble old m usician was no longer able to w ithstand his emotion. H e burst into tears, and stretching his hands upw ard exclaim ed: ‘‘It all came from H eaven.” M any other com posers have given sim ilar testim onies. T his being true, we should feel a great reverence and appreciation for m usic in our w orship. W ere it not for the hymns we sing, our services would be void of th at something w hich inspires and encourages the heart, and with its harm ony lifts one away from the perplexing cares of life into the very presence of H im who created music. As one w riter has said, “W hen w ords fail, music speaks.”

( Continued front page 22) By this time we had reached our hotel, which passed description. W e were indeed glad for the com fort it afforded us. But after a good night's sleep we were ready to make our first pilgrim age out on the desert. But we had not gone far until we were stopped by Indians and superior A rabs that had bazaars along the way. One of the latter came out from the shadow of his hanging rugs and em broideries as we passed, and spoke to us in strange m ixture of F rench and English, begged us to come in, but our time was limited and we started to move on, but he planted him self rig h t before us in the road. H e held a small bag in his hands. H e untied the mouth of the bag for us to look into it. W e expected to see som ething precious—jewels perhaps. But we saw only a quantity of sand. W e thought the A rab an impudent fellow try in g to make fun of us and we started on, but again he stopped our progress. A fter much chatter we w ere able to understand that he w anted to read the future for us, in his bag of sand. As he made progress impossible we decided to listen. Then, the happy thought struck me, why not find out about our dear old senior class of '28. It had been sometime since I had heard from any of them. O f course Naomi Bost was the first one I thought of and 1 asked the A rab to tell me w hat he could of her. I was not surprised when he told me she was a nationally known evangelist’s wife, traveling with him and blessing thousands w ith her w onder ful singing. I remember how she often sang for our class and how we enjoyed it. I was still thinking of Naomi, when the man called the name of Sibyl Hooper. W hat was that he was saying? “ She is head of the English departm ent in one of your colleges w here she is m aking a good record for herself.” T he next I asked about was our class president, Milton Smith. The A rab told us that Milton was one of our general superintendents of the N azarene Church, and w as doing great things for the advancem ent of the C hurch. Then there was M rs. Zimm erman, w hat could I find out about h er? She was touring the United States in interest of foreign missions and aiding her husband in his work. And then we asked him about our Vice-president, Geron Roberts. H e told us th at Geron was in New Y ork, where he was pastor of the largest N azarene C hurch in the movement. H e was on leave of absence at this tim e in Europe, w here he was studying and traveling. A fter hearing all of these interesting facts we made our way back to the hotel to rest until evening, when we would continue our journey.

Student Activities
Student Council
A m ong the student activities is an organization known as the Student Council. The members of this organization are selected and elected by the student body as their representatives. T here are five members of this Council, three from College and two from the Academy. Its work is a sort of m ediating position, standing between students and Faculty. Since having the honor of being chosen by the students as their m ediators it would be only natural and norm al for all possible favors to be given. It listens to the pro posal of any student or Faculty member, then if deemed proper and wise, submits the proposal to the student body for their consideration. Besides the foregoing, it is its place to w ork for the general interest of the school, such as upholding the principles and ideals, also helping to keep unity and cooperation in the school and to b ring about a mutual fellowship am ong all. T his Council does not try to show its authority, for the only authority th at it possesses is granted by the Faculty. It is pleased, therefore, to w ork in full harm ony and cooperation w ith the Faculty. If you w ere to visit the school for one week, there is one outstanding feature of this organization th at you would appreciate, th at is the splendid program rendered on T hursday in chapel. Some of the very best chapel services are those sponsored by this organization. It has proved to be a wide-awake body w hich believes in doing all that is possible for a better B ethanv-Peniel College.

Young Men’s Gospel Team
In the m idst of the hurry of school life the Y oung Men' s Gospel Team gives oppor tunities such as are of greatest im portance to young men preparing for C hristian service. T here are tw o privileges thus afforded th at can be noted—the privilege to gather inspiration and the privilege of good associations. A fter a week of toil and grind the young men gather at the Gospel Team service and ask God for H is blessings. The Lord comes and inspires every heart. In testim ony each young man is helped by another’s victo ry ; in preaching each is helped by another’s vision; in prayer each is inspired by an o th er’s burden. In fact, the m eeting for the young men is of such a necessary and inspirational nature th at it can truly be likened to an oasis in a burning desert. Thus the Gospel Team affords the student a splendid opportunity of getting God’s blessings down upon his soul. G reat is the value of associations with S pirit-filled lives. An opportunity of m aking ju st these kinds of associations comes to the student in the Gospel Team meetings. H e is a better young man after he attends, because of the influence of the friends he meets there. H e never forgets the holy influence of the meetings once he comes under th at influence. F riends are found that are real friends. All are standing for a common cause; all are fighting the same enemy. One is encouraged to bear the toil when he rem em bers how his friend is fighting bravely on. All rely on God. T hus with a united band and w ith D ivine assistance, an earnest C hristian student is inspired to spend and be spent for hum anity.

Young Ladies’ Gospel Team
The y oung L adies’ Gospel Team is a religious organization w hich consists of the girls of the school. It has been an organization for several years, but it seems chat this has been the most successful year of its history. M any times during the school months the religious life is neglected but this year the girls seem to realize the im port ance of a closer walk with Jesus. From the very first service the girls have shown interest and enthusiasm . T here has been an average attendance of about forty. Each T hursday they meet for an hour of prayer and testimony. The S pirit of the L ord has been felt in every service. M any have been blessed, those that were dis couraged were encouraged and made to have a g reater determ ination to live for Jesus, and some found the L ord in his saving and sanctifying power— for which we are thankful. The organization not only gives spiritual help but also train s in leadership. A fter taking p art in the gospel team, the girls will be better trained for C hristian work.

A t the second election held in the D elta Rho L iterary Society the college girls realized the need of fair representation. T he political parties of the organization w ere failing to meet the needs, and as the time drew near for election the girls realized their responsibility and form ed w hat was known as the W om en’s Independent P arty. Cam paign speeches and cries could be heard over the campus in the evening before the election. By seven o’clock, when the election was to take place, the girls were one hundred per cent behind the I. W . P. As the members gathered, an air of m ystery seemed to prevail. T he W higs presented th eir platform and nominees. It seemed as though the audience was greatly moved in favor of the W higs and that there would be a landslide in their favor. But the speaker for the I. W . P. was given the floor, and their platform was p re sented and nominess introduced, causing consternation am ong the other parties. The election was called for and the vote taken. Due to the fact th at the m ajority of the society was girls the I. W . P. received the highest num ber of votes cast, but not a large enough m ajority, so the election was postponed until the following Saturday. But long before the next meeting the girls had organized a perm anent club, and w ork had begun in earnest. The organization was to be an honor club w ith member( Continued on page 74)

M any meetings were held and w ork outlined for the club. T he path of the G. H. C. was not all sunshine and roses, however. On one occa sion when they were having an im portant meeting, the door was locked from the outside and they were forced to rem ain in session for sometime. A nother time they w ere very much surprised to learn th at a discussion of some im portance had been overheard by some of the college boys, and of course was broadcast. But even this did not discourage the girls, and by grim determ ination and hard w ork they w ere able to put it over. One of the tim es most enjoyed by the members was a slum ber (less) party at the G irls’ dorm itory. A t about six-thirty o’clock in the evening one could see girls coming from every direction, and by seven-thirty there were about twenty-five girls present, ready to initiate all those who were late. By nine o’clock there were about forty present. A fter playing m any lively games and stunts— followed by a manless w edding —sandwiches, hot coffee and chocolate w ere served, and the time had arrived to find a place to sleep. Beds were made on the floor in the parlor and halls. A fter telling bedtime stories for an hour or two the girls w ere ready for bed. T hen the scramble began; but To! when several of the girls turned back the covers, the bed was full of pop-corn ; then began the search for a new b e d ; pillows began to fly, and covers to disappear. T he repeated groans from those who were beginning to feel the need of sleep, the laughter and chatter of those who were minus covers, room or pillows, could be heard. A t one o’clock the lights flickered and then went off, and they were in total darkness. Some got quiet for awhile, then began the grand chorus by Ru C onstance and Miss S herm an snoring. T his was broken into by Brow nie craw ling up over the transom in an adjoining room, calling for help. Finally after much p er suasion from Miss M orris every one was quiet except for N aom i’s and V ern al’s con tinual calls to each other w hich finally wore out ; as the clock struck four not a sound could he heard, except the soft w hisper of Elizabeth, as she said, “L et’s tu rn ,” and then the call of Em m a, “ W here is all of our co v er?” At five o'clock the crow d was brought to life by an alarm and the beating of tin pans, and then the scramble to dress began. But alas, every one was minus some article of apparel. “W ho was the guilty c u lp rit?” W ho would be mean enough to hide their things? Well, by nine o’clock all w ere clothed and in th eir right minds (except I va) declaring it a wonderful night, and the G. H. C. organization the best in the world.

( Continued from page 24) W e pick the sw im m ers up as we come to them. Carl catches one fellow floating by; W illis another. I reach for a wet hand throw n up— it slips. I make a second frantic grab, and the shirt sleeve holds. Up to the side of the boat I pull him, but the exhausted man has no strength to clamber in. I get my arm down under a leg in the w ater, and the poor fellow is saved. O ur boat picked up seven, two women and five men. The other boats were likewise busy, and it was thought th at no life w as lost. O ur captain had hot coffee served to the chilled, dripping rescued ones, and those of us who possessed dry coats or sw eaters shared our fortune with their m isfortune. T here were two incidents w orthy of note. My p articu lar rescued man said, through chattering teeth, “ I was pulling my heavy, black sw eater over my head, when I was knocked overboard. I got the thing off, and my arm s loose, before I came to the surface, and luckily there was a life preserver close at hand. But I had all my money and valuables in a pocket of that sw eater.” I then remembered the black thing we had seen floating by, and spoke to the captain, who cruised about and picked up the m issing garm ent. The second notew orthy incident was the pleasure I had in finding a man after my own heart. H e came swim m ing tow ard us with his fish pole held high in one hand. Sadly we w atched the flames complete th eir destruction—the feared explosion, as the gasoline tank was reached—the convulsion, as of some live thing m ortally stricken, then the plunge, the cloud of smoky steam for a few moments, and the sea resumed its calm. T ra n sferrin g our rescued ones to a boat startin g for the harbor, we returned to the fishing grounds, w here we had good success. My seat neighbor, as we w ere approaching the harbor in the evening, rem arked, a fter a long silence, “W ell, we h a’ lost tw o fu ’ hours o’ gude feshin'.”

The M id-W inter Revival The well know n evangelist Ja rre tte and Dell Aycock were engaged for our m id w inter meeting. Rev. Aycock was converted at the age of tw enty, and soon afterw ard felt a call to preach. H is m inistry has been increased a great deal by his beloved w ife who has stood by him so loyally. B rother Aycock’s messages are so profound, and yet, so simple th at all classes enjoy them. Then, besides this simplicity, the messenger possesses an excellent spirit of sincerity w hich grips people. Sister Aycock’s unique method of presentation in the children's services is of the very highest type. She is an adept in the a rt of presenting to children the ideals of C hristianity through pictures and other object lessons which have a lasting effect upon their minds. These w orkers w ere very successful in our midst. The altar was lined from end to end, ex tra chairs w ere placed, and the front benches were used repeatedly for the seekers. No count was kept of the num ber who bowed at the altar, but a rough estim ate is about five hundred. The day services w ere full of grace, helpful to those who were established in God, and instructive R ev. J arrette A ycock to those who had newly found H im. T here was much in these services to impress C hristians with the need of m ore personal w ork for Jesus Christ. One of the unusual features of the revival was the selling of good literatu re am ong our people and their friends. Good books by B rother and Sister Aycock, J. B. C hap man and C. A. McConnell were sold. Then, to clim ax all, Bethany holds the record for the largest num ber of sub scriptions to the “ H erald of H oliness” obtained in a single meeting. W e had four reasons for putting over our sub scription list. F irst, we believe in the “ H erald of H oliness” and those behind it. Second, like all other people and in stitu tions, we naturally like to head the list; we like to be leaders. T hird, we desire to help our fellow man. W hen we place the paper in his hands we believe we are giving him some thing that will encourage him to seek and find God, ac quaint him w ith some of the leaders in God’s work, and with one of the greatest institutions of God and the Church, M rs. D ell A ycock and especially the Church of the N azarene. Last, we w anted to help our school. T he proposition was put in such a way by B rother Aycock as to be a direct blessing to the school. W hen the final count was made we had five hundred and seventy-one subscriptions. W e do not desire to boast when we say th at the students, faculty, and citizens of Bethany are a most loyal people.
The Inspiration of the Bible Such is the intrinsic excellence of C hristianity th at it is adapted to the w ants of all, and it provides for all, not only by its precepts and by its doctrines, but also by its evidence. T he poor m an may know nothing of history, or science, or philosophy; he may have read scarcely any book but the B ib le; he may be totally unable to vanquish the skeptic in the arena of public d eb a te; but he is, nevertheless, surrounded by a panoply which the shafts of infidelity can never pierce. You may go to the home of the poor cottager, whose heart is deeply imbued with the spirit of vital C hristian ity ; you may see him gather his little fam ily around him. H e expounds to them the wholesome doctrines and principles of the Bible, and, if they w ant to know the evidence upon which he rests his faith of the divine origin of his religion, he can tell them upon reading the book which teaches C hristianity he finds not only a perfectly tru e description of his own natural character, but in the provisions of this religion a perfect adaptation to all his needs. I t is a religion by w hich to live, a religion by w hich to die; a religion which cheers in darkness, relieves in perplexity, supports in adversity, keeps steadfast in pros perity, and guides the inquirer to that blessed land w here “the wicked cease from troubling, and the w eary are at rest.” W e entreat you, therefore, to give the Bible a welcome, a cordial recep tio n ; obey its precepts, tru st its promises, and rely implicitly upon th a t D ivine Redeemer whose religion brings glory to God in the highest, and on E arth peace and good-will to men. T hus will you fulfill the noble end of your existence, and the great God of the U niverse will be your father and your frien d ; and, when the last m ighty convulsion shall shake the earth and the sea and the sky, and the fragm ents of a thousand barks, richly freighted w ith intellect and learning, are scattered on the shores of erro r and delusion, your vessel shall in safety outride the storm, and enter in trium ph the haven of eternal rest.

Advice to the ’29 Staff If you desire election carry on a hearty campaign. Be sure to shave and dress up before election.
Votes are difficult to get.
E d ito r— Be sure that you have the office. See to it th at you have a congenial staff and th at you have your best girl on it. D uring your sum m er vacation we would suggest that you rest and sleep, for h ard w ork and sleepless nights are sure to come to you. N ever get irritated if some of the members of the staff decide to work. Business M anager— P ractice your speech-m aking in the summer, as you will have no tim e to do it after school has started. Collect all bills prom ptly; never stand for procrastination on the part of your debtors. Develop a good nature and a stationary smile, so that after receiving a good baw ling-out you can invite irritated students to call again to pay their bills. Inform ation in G eneral: Explain fully all necessary procedures to Freshm en to avoid useless questions. N ever promise a good picture to anyone; demand paym ent for all pictures. A large dictionary is a necessity, no knowledge is needed. Post all notices upside dow n; curiosity will prom pt the students to read them. Always try to do your w ork backw ards, so you will be sure to get it right. Get a supply of smelling salts before allowing the girls to see their proofs. Use the floor for a w aste basket; it doesn’t fill so easily. Always have a savings account so you can entertain visitors. Keep dummy locked u p ; some people are fond of them. N ever tell anything outside the staff room. N ever w ork later than 2:00 A. M. to help keep up your studies.
If possible, get on the good side of a friend
D on’t w orry the advertisers by asking them for their ad copy, w ait until the day before the hook is to go to press, for they always have th eir copy ready and do not need a rem inder. H aving labored under the handicap of ignorance ourselves, the staff of 1928 give freely these short cuts on publishing an annual.

Half-Holiday T he sun shined so brightly, and the breezes blew so gently upon th at day, that the student body could almost hear the call to the wilds. School was going as usual, the m orning slipped aw ay and chapel was next in order. It had been some time since the promise of a half-holiday was given, which was to celebrate the A nnual Contest. P erhaps this prom ise had slipped from the minds of many of the students; while the others were occupied w ith ordinary cares of school life. Chapel w ent as usual until at the last the announcem ents were being made, when the house was filled with noise resulting from the clapping of hands and the stam ping of feet, reacting to the an nouncem ent that inform ed us the afternoon would be used for the half-holiday so long looked for. Im m ediately after dinner the students gathered around on the campus for an en joyable afternoon. The outstanding game of the afternoon was basket ball. The U pperclassm en and Academy were the first ones to play. The F reshies could be seen on the side line w atching the team w ork of the U pperclassm en, for they m ust soon clash w ith them. They had challenged the w inning team for a game and it was not long until they saw that the U pperclassm en would be their rivals. T he first game ended with a score decidedly in favor of the Upperclassm en. T here were only a few m inutes intervention until the game between the U pper classmen and the Freshm en was called. T he battle was hard fought by both teams. But when the w histle blew and the score was counted it was found to stand 18 to 16 in favor of the Upperclassm en. W hile the last was going, the refreshm ents were being prepared. It was in front of the A dm inistration Building about five o’clock, th at the refreshm ents were served. Sandwiches, cookies, and punch w ere the main constituents of the refreshm ents. These surely served the purpose for which they w ere intended this time. A fter being served so bountifully the girls decided th at the day should not pass w ithout their participating in som ething; so the half-holiday was ended by a rousing game of basket ball played by the girls.

It was almost dark, and they realized that they had not a moment to lose. Getting the direction, they hurried tow ard the place w here the bush m arked the lost trail. But even as they hurried, breaking into a run, they felt the ground upon the steep mountain side begin to slip beneath their feet. In a moment M ilam E vans realized w hat had happened. The fall rains had saturated the thin earth above the smooth granite, and a slowly-moving landslide had obliterated th eir trail at th at place—even now their steps were hastening its speed. H e caught Jewell up in his arm s, and desperately raced across the now sw iftly-m oving mass. Ju st as he grasped the solid rock upon the other side, the ground over which he had been running slipped completely off the rock, down, down the m ountain side, with a thundering ro ar into the chasm hundreds of feet below. Mr. E vans drew his daughter close to his heart, and raising his eyes tow ard heaven, he thanked God for sparing their lives. T hen he prayed th at H e would guide their footsteps as they w ent on down the trail to the brave little woman who aw aited their return.

Boys Entertained the Girls T he boys of this year gave the first entertainm ent for the girls ever given in the history of the school. O ftentim es the boys have been invited to the girls’ D orm itory to spend a social evening, but this was the first time for the girls ever to be invited to a social by the boys. T he program of the evening consisted of many interesting things which varied widely in style and type. It ranged from the ridiculous to sublime, from sublime to ridiculous. T he first num ber was a welcome address by the Preceptor, Mr. George Brannon. Miss M orris, the Dean of W omen, responded to the welcome address in a brief way. Then the following hour or two were filled with rousing good games. It was nearing ten when the refreshm ents were served. Follow ing this were the closing num bers, “ Home, Sweet H om e” ; Piano Solo, played by Paul Thompson, and “ Show me the way to go hom e”, sung by the D orm itory quartet.
Debating In the fall of 1927 several of the ju n io r colleges of Oklahom a formed a league for debating and other forensic activities. O w ing to the fact that earlier provision had not been made for this work, it was handicapped by lack of time and proper financial support. In spite of this several debates were held with other schools. In all of these our teams put up a stiff fight and made it interesting for every opponent w hether they won or not. Tw o traits stood out prom inently in all our debaters. The first w as their high type of debating. T h eir speeches w ere not ju st memorized recitations. They showed flexibility in meeting the argum ents of their opponents. They drove straight at the main issues and used no trickery in dodging difficult points. The second trait was th eir sportsm anship. In the face of defeats they kept their enthusiasm , their cheerfulness, and their courteousness. T h eir opponent as well as their friends were im pressed w ith these facts. Those who debated were Paul G arrett, H erm an G arrison, and G ranville Rogers.
