Senior Class Prophecy It was a beautiful day in May, when I reached the Sahara desert, a place I h a d longed to v isit i n my travels, having r e a d and heard of t h e m a n y wonders and beauties of the desert. noon.
My friend and I arrived at the l ittle vil lage of Beni-Mora, in the after
As the train pulled i n, the eager faces of countless Arabs stared in upon us from
the scorched field of manoeuvres where Saphis were exercising in the gathering twi light. Having given our luggage tickets to a porter, we passed out o f the station and made our way toward the Hotel du Desert, accompanied by our guide. toward the long gardens of Beni-Mora.

White dust was fiying from the road, along
which many o f the Arab aristocracy were indolently strolling.
In their white robes
they looked, we thought, l i ke monks, though the cigarettes many of them were smok ing fought against the i l l usion.
Some of them were dressed i n pale colored cloth,
and they held each others hands loosely as they sauntered along, chattering i n soft contralto voices. behind them.

To right and left were other l ittle paths branching

Between the sandy brown

A few Arabs were sitting on benches i n dreamy attitudes, with their heelless
sl ippers hanging from the toes of their bare feet.
B eyond the entrance of the tunnel
we could see two horsemen galloping at a tremendous pace into the desert.
The i r red
oloaks streamed out over the horses, which devoured the earth as if in a frenzy of emula tion.
They disappeared into the last glories of the sun, which sti l l lingered on the plain
and blazed among the summits of the red mountains. All the contrasts o f thi s l and were exquisite to us, and, in some mysterious way, suggested eternal thi ngs ; whi spering through color, gleam and shadow, through the pattern of leaf and rock, through the air, now fresh, now tenderly warm and perfumed, through the silence that hung like a filmy cloud in the golden heaven. The quiet o f these gardens was delightful and was only interrupted now and then by the sound o f wheel s upon the road as a carriage rolled by to some house which was h idden in the d i stance of the oasi s . murmured talk.

A Ship Afire at Sea Charles Allen McConnell \\"hat stark terror imagination conj ures with these words! l\lother and the two daughters were taking Professor 'White and the chi ldren over to Santa Catal ina to view the sea gardens through the glass-bottom boat, s o Carl and Wil l i s and I would a fish ing go-deep sea fishing. Off the pier at Santa Monica the day's pleasure boats rode at anchor-big craft and small, some chartered by p r i vate parties; some to carry the publ i c out for a half day's sport; one, the Owl II, ready to make a full day of it. The crowd with reels in hand i s anxious to get away, for word i s out that the barracuda are running. Even I, a n old fisherman, am feeling tremors of excitement, for i f there i s any keener sport than hooking one of these sea-tigers I have not yet found it, The day i s clear, and the sea calm. The Fashion, a trim, well-equi pped gasoline launch, pulled up to the landing sl i p and made fast, The crowd surges ; the boat i s quickly fi l l i ng, Some s i l l y one remarks that if we were to be i n the fashion we would have to go i n the Fashion. But the Rashion is a hal f-day boat. The question we three argued was : Shall we take this first boat to the fishing grounds, even though it returns at noon, or shall we wait an hour more and stay out longer ? \I\fh i le we discussed the matter, the boat received i ts 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. Carl followed with a five pound h a libut ; then I came again with the first barracuda-the day's sport was on. \I\fithin the radius of a m i l e about us were h a l f a dozen or m o r e boats engaged as w e were. A t a d i stance of two miles rode the Fashion at anchor, laz i ly roll i ng in the swells. As we looked toward her, a slender spiral of smoke shot up from her engine room. What could that mean ? Then, as the smoke reddened and burst into a bil low, came the cry, "The Fashion's afire! The Fashion's afire!"
I have experienced the sicken i ng sense of human helplessness as the sol i d gt'ound weaved and rocked i n earthquake. I am glad to have known that sensation-once. To behold a ship at sea, wrapped i n flames, with its cargo of human l i ves, ranks among one's most thri lling hours-but I pray God I may never behold the l ike again. The whistle of our boat screeched rapid warning blasts. "Al l lines i n , " shouted the captain, and at h i ghest speed we entered the race with death. Q u i ckly we wet'e j oined by other craft, even a lone rowboat, for such i s the law o f the sea. Our rear scuppers were awash ; waves broke over the stern as we rushed to save, i f possible, some l ives. A mile away, \\'e caught sight o f black specks, here and there, in the sea-human heads. " Get the l i fe preservers ready to throw," ordered the captain. Some o f us are praying, "Dear Lord, help them to stay u p until w e can reach them." vV e are close by now. A man's heavy, black sweater floats past ; some l i fe preservers-empty. Here they are, almost within reach, swin �ming desperately away from the fiery i n ferno. They are clinging to l i fe preservers ; there had been no time to put them on. Closer by now. Here i s a man supporting his w i fe with one arm while he holds to a l i fe preserver with the other. They are deep i n the water, and the waves break over them, but he cri es, "Don't stop for us, go for those who didn't get preservers."

Junior Class Another year o f o u r school life h a s come t o a close; and when we say this, there comes over us a commingled feeling of j oy and sadness; j oy, because we have reached another l andmark o n our great j ourney; sadness, because we shall have to separate from our dear teachers and old school friends. It we have done our best and have made good use o f our time, happy are we; but i f we have not taken advantage of our opportunities from day to day, sad are we. Paul said, "Study to show thysel f approved unto God, workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly d i viding the word of truth," and we today are trying to follow his exhortation. The Junior Class ha3 real ized that success i s not found as a matter o f chance, and therefore has worked diligently through these yeal路s. The way has not been altogether smooth, but l ike most other roads it has been rough and narrow in places. Our attitude has ever been one of determination to go through in spite of obstacles, o r we, l ike many of our former fel l ow c l ass men, might have fal l e n by the wayside. The Junior Class this yeal- i s the l a rgest it has ever been in the history o f the school. We have had the privilege and great honor of having Professor S. S. v'ihite, president o f our col lege, as our sponsor. Professor vVhite has been one of us, but he has lived such a noble l i fe and has upheld such high i deal s that we feel we have been greatly benefited by this year's work with him. The Junior Class gave a Junior-Senior banquet. This was the first o f such ever given at Bethany-Peniel College. Some of the most efficient and most useful students in school al-e members of our class. Two of our number hold prominent positions on the staff; eight are in the glee clubs; one boy i s in two of the college quartets; four o f oUl" gi rls compose the Coll ege Ladies' quartet; and almost without exception, all o f our class are enrolled i n the Fine Arts Department; i n fact, three o f the Fine Arts graduates come from the Junior C l ass. Bethany-Peniel College, w e feel, i s one o f God's chosen centers of education. It is one of the largest schools in our Nazarene movement and it affords not only the highest type of mental devel opment, but also the highest type of spi ritual and social development. Our teachers are a constant source of inspi ration to us to l i ve nobler, purer, and truer Christian l i ves. Vife intend by God's hel p and grace to be more useful after leaving school than we would have been had we not received a ful l , well-rounded education. Of all the school s, o'er all the lands, Some may go down; but this one stands. Her earthly form may fade away ; Her buildings molder and decay; B ut by our class, her praise shal l be Heralded through all eternity ! F. D. S

The Lost Trail Carol G. Spruce It had been a long, hard cl imb for lVli lam Evans and his little daughter, Jewel l . EYer since noon they had followed t h e trail down t h e mountain side, that l e d t o the camp far below, where the brave w i fe and mother was awaiting their return.
M i lam
had remarked several times to his daughter that they must hurry if they woul d reach home J::e fore darkness settled down upon the mountain and h i d the trail from their sight. B riskly they picked their way over the dim path, the l ittle girl engrossed in the wonders whic h nature had spread about them, confident that her father was able to answer the many questions with which she pressed h i m .
A s he replied t o her queries,
Milam thought of the many times he had come with his questions and problems to his Father-the One who knows and understands all .
And his heart rej oi ced as he realized
that his every question had been answered, his every problem solved. Milam grew more and more thoughtful as they went on down the tra i l , though thrilled with the grandeur and beauty of lofty crag, darkening forest, and distant valleys beneath .
A huge rock loomed up before them, and he coul d not see the trail out beyond.
But the track wound around the shoulder o f the mountain, and they paused to gaze at the glory of a di stant range, bathed in the purple haze o f the October evening. Starting on, they were suddenly aware that the trail had come to an abrupt end. TIle father, puzzled, searched this way and that, but not a sign of the trai l could he see.
It seemed as though every l iving being who had come over that path had vanished
at that poi nt.
Aware of the danger of attempting the descent with no path to guide,
where a false step in the growing darkness might mean a swift drop i nto the depths below, M ilam's face became gray with fear.
His heart almost fail ed h i m as he looked
at his little daughter and then at the l engthening shadows of the trees.
I f they failed
to d i scover the trail, what m i ght it mean to spend the night upon the mountain s i de what danger from the w i l d J::e asts known to be l urking in those fastnesses !
Again he
looked i nto the face o f the l i ttle girl, but there was no fear there; she was confident that her father would protect hel¡ from all danger.
Aga i n M i l am was reminded of the
watchfulness and care of his Heavenly Father, and he prayed that His protection m i ght be given them now. Turning to his daughter, Mr. Evans said, "Jewell, you sit here upon thi s rock while I go to look for the tra i l . but his voice faltered. obeyed.
It must be somewhere near."
He tried to speak brav�ly,
The l ittle girl returned to h i m a smile o f confidence, as she
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 j utting point of rock.
Finally he caught a glimpse, at some d i stance ahead, of someth ing that

The College Sophomore Class of '27-'28 'vVe are not the work of chance. Our destiny was not wrought in some mysterious, unknown real m of uncertainty. We believe our presence, our ideals, our struggles our triumphs had a beginning, shal l we say, in the early pl annings of God. On the sea of col l ege l i fe we started almost two years ago, with sai l s set for a definite goal. Our goal was, and is, and ever shall be, to breathe into the l ives o f others the great and worthwhile principles which were breathed into us in B. P. C. \!\ie have not been in several small boats, merely d r i fting o'er the solemn main o f college l ife ; but we have a ship all our own, manned b y a sturdy crew, piloted with a keen eye, anel kept in trim with sails furled wide and full-speed ahead, sailing ever onward, grandly onward in the course which lies ahead. The sun shines, the ripples 011 the water are tipped with diamonds. Under the proud waving flag of B. P . C . our Sophomore ship sails on. The sun as i t creeps over the rim of the hori zon touches and teams on our ship, a swiftly moving swan-like figure of white upon the water, whi le l ittle waves caress her sides with silken gentleness. As \\'e ol1wal'd sai l with the prow of our ship toward the East, we look back West足 ward, the wondedul \i\f est into which the sun has sli pped each evening like the coin dropped from the widow's fingers into the treasury box of the temple. We behold the fading glory o f its golden rays, banking themselves against the deep blue sky while the fleecy clouds floating above fold over its crimson face like a curtain and with it, closing our second coll ege year. Watching 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 making creditable grades, of paying class bills, and safely evading that impulsive l ittle Freshman ship so gay and hopeful, we smoothly gl ide on in the direction of the rising Eastern sun o f hope for the third year of our col l ege course. For truly its ri sing appears to hasten our erstwhile fading dreams to one of resplendent Reality. We al'e glad we have built well our shi p, for now in the place of a j ourney of only two years, we are to enjoy a continued voyage of two more years in our own B. P. C . waters. \i\f e al'e ful ly aware that we are only half way toward our j ourney's end; but when we contemplate these two wonderful years on the congenial bosom of the waters of Bethany-Peniel College, we are thrilled when the Flag-ship Captain cries out fr0111 the towering mast pole, "Sail on in your course, full two more leagues are yom's!" The words have gone forth, and now with queenly magnificence, with silvery sails full -flown, she moves w i th the balmy breezes of hope. Our dear old Sophomore ship proudly plows on toward the next lap o f her j ourney. with every loyal member o f her crew shouting cheer on cheer, for the land of opportunity i s lying j ust ahead.
Some ships sail East, And some sail West By the self-same winds that blow. It's not the gale, B ut the set of the sail, That determines which way they go.

God's Call of a Man The w o r k o f t h e ministry is a great work, a n d f o r o n e to succeed h e must h a v e the Divine approval, yea, the call of God to that work. Jesus told His disciples that they had not chosen Him but that H e had chosen them. If God calls a man, he cannot satisfy the Holy Spirit o r his own conscience unless he assumes the responsibility, fights the foe of a l l souls, and l eads lost men to God. God must have men to carry on His work, and H e chooses His men as carefully as a gigantic corporation or a bank would choose its chief executive. Outstanding among the Apostles is Pau l . Vie see him first at the stoning o f Stephen, and then o n the road t o Damascus. His purpose i s to exterminate Christianity, thinking himse l f to be performing a service for Goel. God saw in th is Pharisee that which He could use for His glory. The Jews had rej ected Jesus, and, since the Gospel as a world message must be carried to the Gentiles, there must be a message bearer who was not only acquainted with God and knew God, but one who also knew auout Goel. One who was a Jew coul d best qualify, since his people had the law of God and had had personal touch and com足 munication wi th 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 which was sure to come. Paul was a Jew. Second, God needed a man who could meet the people everywhere as one o f them, man who was not a captive slave, a free man. Rome controlled nearly all the civi l ized world at that time. God needed a man who was a Roman citizen. H e found this 111 Paul , who asserts a number of times, in the B i ble, the fact of h is Roman citi zenshi p . a
Then. God not only needed a man w h o knew H i m a n d was one o f the people him足 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 h e served intelligently. Thi rd, God must have a man who has courage, who w i l l stand for right anywhere and under any ci rcumstances, who will be true to God i n spite o f dungeon, fire, or steel. And yet this man must be wise, a man o f good judgment, and one who w i l l not needlessly risk his l i fe, recklessly endanger the cause o f God, or thwart God's message and purpose to mankind by a foolish move. Paul rebuked the devil in the Philli pian girl, yet h e d i d n o t r e v i l e t h e authorities w h e n they scourged h i m a n d cast him i n t h e i n n e r prison. He heard the sentence, took the punishment, went to jai l , started a revival, got God on the scene, converted the j ailer 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 o f the H o ly Ghost. vVhen once he came in contact with Jesus and recog足 nized him as the Son o f God, his one question was, " vVhat w i l t thou have me to do ?" H e continued to ask th is question. a l l through l i fe, and when al l of l i fe was over h e said, "I have fought a good fight."

The Freshman Class 111 Bethany-Peniel College, under t h e southern skies of Oklahoma, of truc> b lue Freshmen gathered from many different states.
IS
a loyal class
Such a c lass is of course a constant source o f annoyance to the Upperclassmen. S everal times i n thei r plottings against the humble ones they were c hagrined by th" d i scovery of the presence o f Fresh lT.en . And again discovering w i res leading from their sec r et place of meeting,. they o f course found Fl-eshmen at the end o f the wi res re ceiving their secrets. This riva l ry i s a ll good-natu red, l ending zest and spirit to the Freshman's first days i n school. The first i mportant action of the class was the election of officers. These worthy office holders are proving themselves to be real l eaders, not only of the class, but also of the school. Their sponsor i s a real asset to the c l ass. Patient i n a crisis, helpful and obl i ging in a ll ac�ivities, and always at her post o f duty. She wilI l i v e long in the hearts of her protegee,s,. In none of the activities of the school is th i s class lagging. The position o f advertising manager of T h e A l: row i s held b y a Freshman. In basket b a l l h e r team takes first place. It is hard to say what the debating team would be without her Freshman members, I n the contest over the sale of t i ckets for the Jean Valj ean lecture the ever faithful Freshmen were victorious. Still another field o f activity, by far the most important, i s that o f Christian servi ce. A number of the students are preparing to be ministers, miss ionaries, teachers, or song evangel i sts. The work they wilI do w i l l forever be a monument o f achi evement t o t h e class.
I
The social functions have not been numerous, but they may b e remembered for their quahty rather than their quantity. The get-acquainted social w i l l b e remembered as the basis of many b eauti ful and lasting friendships and acquai ntances. The leap year party was a wholesome good time for everyone. The b lushing maidens making dates with the none the less blushing boys w i ll be a lasting memory in many m i nds. This noble class selected for its colors green and p i nk and for its flower the snap dragon of corresponding colors. Their motto is "Originators, not I mitators ." T h e c l ass h a s successfull y made itself a cl ass of l o y a l Freshmen, one hundred per cen t for B. P . C . and has lai d a good foundation for the best class of the school in succeeding years. Z. M. W,

Her Mother's Picture I t w a s a beauti ful June morning on t h e western plains of Texas. I sabel l Osborn pulled a broad-brimmed hat over her brown wavy hair, and long canvas gloves over her slender hands. "vVhat a wonderful morning to be out in the air," she exclaimed. every breath of it."
"I shall enj o}
A s this orphan gi r l crossed the pasture, she remembered the times she had watched her mother paint. Always there was a message in her pictures, for her mother loved Christ and art, and Isabell was grateful for this heritage. Thinking of the past week, she said : "I do appreciate M r . and Mrs. Bingham for hel p i ng me finish this last year of high school and I 'm glad to prove it. But-I never could have won the scholarship had i t not b e e n fo r mother's picture." Having the first year o f college to look forward to, made the summer pass rapidly for I sabell. Before she hardly real ized it, she was i n Oklahoma, registering in Bethany足 Peniel College. The matron of the gi rls' dormitory assigned her a room on the second floor with B onnie Mae Summers, and she was beginning to feel at home until there came one of those rainy Saturdays. "\;\That a gloomy day," she said. looking u p f r o m her book. " Yes, it i s, but we'll feel hetter if we write friend.
a
cheerful letter home," answered her
" I believe you are right, B onnie," concluded Isabell. She filled her pen and began a letter to the B i nghams, when she heard a nOise. Looking out o f the window the girls saw people running and yelling something about a fire. " Oh , let's go see where it i s, " exclaimed I sabel l . T h e y r a n o u t into t h e y a r d to find i t w a s t h e dormitory itself on fire. "Oh what shall w e do ?" cried one girl. " My books and clothes are in my room ! " sobbed another. I sabell stared at the angry flames as if measuring them, then dashed u p the steps and di sappeared in a cloud of black smoke. " I s abell, come back ! " wailed Bonnie. "Come out of that burning b u ilding," screamed another. The firemen were i n a terrible battle. The roof was ready to fall when one o f the men came running, carrying a n unconscious gi rl. As quickly as the flames on her clothing were smothered, she was rushed to the hospital. The nurse was cutting the charred rags from her body, and in so doing, discovered a marvelous work of art which the girl had clasped i n her bosom. I t was a picture of a group of young people studying art, music, and literature. In their midst was a man with a kind face who seemed so glad to be with them. H e was the Man with the seamless garment. "Did-it-get-burned ?" she asked faintly. "N 0, it's all right," answered the nurse. And I sabel l closed her eyes i n satisfaction. for she was now going to be with the kind face i n her mother's picture. A. C . R.
Bible Conference Among the many rich blessings w h i c h Bethany-Peniel College has enj oyed this year was the Preachers' Convention. It was a j oint convention o f the Eastern and Wester n Okla足 hon1a Districts. One o f the contributions which made i t a success was the large delegation o f preachers from these two districts. The prime obj ect o f the convention was to create a better spirit of brotherhood and bring about greater unity between these two closely connected di stricts.
DR. R. T. W I LLI A M S
Then, too, the educational phase o f the conference would be hard to overesti mate. Dr. R. T. vV i ll iams ( who i s a resident of our coll ege tow n ) gave each morning to the preachers some o f the most practical and i nspi ring lectUl'es that one could possibly wish for; also, he preached each even足 ing i n a very profitable manner.
Professor McConnell, our Dean of Theology, also gave lectures each morning on Theological subj ects which were very instructive to every hearer. Professor G ilmore, one of our splendid young preachers, also a teacher on our college faculty, gave many lectures on sermon preparation. H i s talks were practical and helpful, especially to the preachers. Professor W i lson, who is our college Registrar, gave some talks on Psychology, which were enlightening and profitable. Professor S. S . White, who is now the full-fledged president o f Bethany-Peniel Coll ege, also spoke on the subj ect o f Psychology. All who have heard his l ectures on this phase o f education are \vel l aware of h i s high type of thought and presentation. Each morning at chapel we had some visiting preacher to speak to us, which proved unusually profitable, especi ally to the student body. The Board of Regents met in conjunction with the convention ; their presence and fellowship were welcomed by al l . The comi ng o f our brethren t o u s w i l l b e long remembered for their encouragement. There was much inspiration from having th i s goodly company i n our midst. We do Eot know exactly how the brethren felt, but we feel that they went away with a greater interest i n the school work than they had had before. The conference was a success from every standpoint. May th i s treat be repeated to each of the succeeding student bodies in the years that are to come.
College Functions It w a s a beautiful afternoon in January when t h e Coll ege students gathered in front o f the new classroom buil ding, soon to be off for supper in the wood s .
All was
in a stir, for the place must be reached in time to prepare wieners and marshmallows, have supper, and get back by seven o'clock. vVe soon reached the river.
Fire was kindled and the boys were out searching
for a forked stick i n order to roast two wieners at a time. The time was fast passing and we must soon be studying.
After a song and
prayer the couples coul d be seen returning to their old stomping ground. APACHE AND C O M A N C H E In looking through t h i s volume, no doubt b u t that y o u have observed t h e I ndian theme all along. The names Comanche and Apache, you recognized, are also the names o f two of the leading I ndian Tri bes o f Oklahoma. I n carrying out the Indian theme we decided to call the two contesting sides by these names. The student body was equally divi ded into two contestant parties.
Then a boy
and a girl were selected as leade�s of each side. The l i st o f names was given to the leaders which was prepared in order to have the si des well balanced.
After having all previous arrangements made, a chapel service
was given in which the contest was launched.
There were several enthusiastic speeches
given to create the proper atmosphere for annual selli ng.
I mmediately the leaders came
to the front and began to read the names appearing on their l i sts ; having each student to come forward as his name was reacl.
This was continued until the student body was
standing in two l i nes in the building. The distinguishing feature of the opposite sides was the color o f tag they wore. The Apaches wore a red tag, while that of the Comanches was green. These tags were given out while standing in l ine in order to identify each fellow with his own side. The next proposition p resented was that o f getting the students to buy an annual themselves whi l e i n the notion.
The leaders had contracts and these were given to and
si gned by all the students who would purchase an annual, and returned to the leader then and there.
It was interesting how each respective side got busy to get every
member to buy a book .
They did not stop with their own immediate members, howÂ
ever, but worked the town as wel l . A half holiday was given at the close of the contest, and the losing side served the winners on this occasion. the lead.
Finally the last moment came with the Comanches in
The Apaches were good losers, however the Comanches did not win by
extremely l arge margin.

Freshman's Soliloquy
I
To pass, or not to pass ? T h a t is t h e question. Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer The pangs and errors of outrageous grammar, Or to take arms against a sea of errors And by opposing, end them. To pas s-to flunk, To flunk once more ? But i f w e pass W e say we end the headache and the thousand Nervous shocks that flesh i s heir to. 'Tis a consolation hopeless to be wished. To flunk, to pass-to flunk ? Perchance to Be an "Upperclassman ! " Aye there's my chanc e ! For if we flunk what hopes may come vVhen w e have lain aside our books. We must give paus e ! There's the respect That makes so long a Freshman's l i fe. Why must we bear the slights and scorns of "Upperclassmen ?" The oppressor's wrong ? They are contumely. Why must we grunt and sweat under such a weary l i f e ? vVhy must we fear the undiscovered realms before us, From whose bourne few Freshmen have survived ? v\Thy not let us bear the i l l s we have, Than fl y to others w e know not o f ? Thus, Conscience does make cowards of us al l ; And our native hue of resolution Vanishes with the pale cast o f such tiloaghts, The enterprises o f great pith and mom ent. With this regard th eir currents turn aw;J.Y, And thus we lose the name of actioI'. B . L.

A Lesson I Fain Would Learn Little bird, sitting h igh On the b rall c h o f a tree, Singing in s :c eetf'st notes Pretty songs unto me. T ell me how do you h ide In your red-feathered breast, Sorrow and memories Of a long crum bled nest ? Can you look bach upon What was Ollce .a sweet spot, vVhere ymw mate sat 'with you A nd u here now he is not; A nd yet keep your song fnll Of the joy and the cheer, That floating comes to m e A s alone I sit here ? Can you think of the babes, As from you they were torn By the cruel h and of Death, On the night of the stor111, A nd yet keep such a brave, Thrilling note in your song, To inspire the discouraged, Perchance he comes alone? Can you think of winter And the hard fligh t at hand, Ere you find for yourself A nother summer land, A nd still keep melody Vibrating in your tone, That gladdens 1ny sad heart As I sit here alon e ? If you can, little bird, vVon't you please teach to me, T he lesson you've learned ? And perhaps I can be Useful in the l1taking Of a lone, saddened heart To cheer up once again, And to make a new start. B. C.

Piano
I f o n e must choose f o r study o n l y o n e o f t h e fi n e arts-let that choice b e a study of piano. No other in strument has as many possi bilities, such a variety of uses nor more beautiful tone qualities than does the piano. Public opinion has deneed that it i s the most popular solo instrument in existence. At the present time we find a piano in almost every home and good piano-players will soon b e as common a s High School graduates. B esides being a popular solo instrument we find it being used almost entirely as an accompaniment to other instruments, vocal numbers, choirs, orchestras, etc. N o instrument seems more perfect a s an accompaniment. The training one receives i n learning to play the piano i s worthwhile itself. Thro this training one I'eceives the stri ctest di scipl ine as wel l as the greatest inspi ration. Such a combination can but pl'oduce a beautiful character. Then the refining i n fluence of a course o f music study must not b e omitted. One cannot live in a real m of beautiful music and love chaos, brusqueness or coarseness in any of its forms. Also the ability to play wel l the average classics is a great pleasure to onesel f aside from the musical education one receives i n acqui ring this degree o f efficiency. A fter mastering a classic one feels the composition belongs to himself as well as the composer. Such wealth ! Aside from the training, pleasure and refining influence that a study of the piano gives to the individual, thel'e i s also to be considered its influence i n the home. Here the entire family can become familiar with and appreciate the world's best music. Excepting christianity. no other force can bring as much j oy, happiness, refinement and contentment to the home. Longfellow said. " Show me the home wherein music dwel l s a n d I will s h o w you a happy. peaceful a n d contented home."

The Orchestra
K othing can inspire t h e young people of a school or community as much as a musical organization such as an orchestra. To such an organization they can bring their mediocre musical talents and by combining them with the talents o f others, produce a musical interpretation that i s really quite pleasing to themselves and others, while they are doing this they are increasing their own musical efficiency, widening their knowl edge o f good music, learning to cooperate with others and receiving that aesthetic o r spi ritual training that a l iterary education alone does not gi ve. Parents and teachers are awakening to the fact that the boy or girl with only a literary education i s only parti a l ly educated i n that there is an aesthetic trai n i ng that i s absolutely essential. The study of music i n any o f its forms i s a part of this training. Musical training l i fts the morals o f the individual, awakens gl-eater ambitions, and puri fies the ideals. It is also a character builde r because of its constant suggestion o f harmony, ordel and beauty. Men do not commit c r i mes to the strains of beautiful music. Expressing this same thought the di rector of the largest Boy S c out Band i n America said, "Teach a boy to blow a horn and he w i l l never blow a safe." Shakespeare had somewhat the same idea when he said, "The man that hath no music i n h i mself-Let no such man be trusted."
Bethany-Peniel Col lege has a thirty piece orchestra under the di rection o f M rs . Gilmore. T h i s organization has added m u c h to t h e programs o f t h e school w i t h t h e i r beauti ful numbers. May the orchestra increase in number and efficiency i s our wish.

The Choi r
I t must b e admitted that sacred music i s a s d i vinely inspired a s sermons and writ颅 ings. Hayden, when composing his oratot路io, "The Creation", said "I fell on my knees daily and prayed earnestly to God that H e would grant me strength to carry the work and praise Him worth i ly." When the composition was finished and produced, and the audience broke into tumultuous applause, the feeble old musician was no l onger able to withstand h i s emotion. H e burst into tears, and stretching his hands upward exclaimed : "It all came from Heaven." Many other composers have given similar testimonies. This being true, we should feel a great revet路ence and appreciation for music in our worship. Were it not for the hymns w e sing, our services would be void o f that something which i nspires and encourages the heart, and with its harmony li fts one away from the perplexing cares of l i fe into the very presence of Him who created music. As one writer has said. "\Vhen words fail, music speaks."

(C ontinued from page 22 ) By this time we had reached our hotel, which passed description. glad for the comfort it afforded us.
\il/e were indeed
But after a good night's s leep we were ready to
make our first pilgri mage out on the desert.
But we had not gone far until we were
stopped by Indians and superior Arabs that had bazaars along the way.
One of the
latter came out from the shadow of his hanging rugs and embroideries as we passed, and spoke to us in strange mixture of French and Engl ish, begged us to come in, but our time was l imited and we started to move on, but he planted himself right before us in the road.
H e held a smal l bag i n his hands.
for us to look into it.
He untied the mouth o f the bag
We expected to see something precious-j ewels perhaps.
we saw only a quantity o f sand.
But
We thought the Arab an impudent fel low trying to
make fun of us and we started on, but again he stopped our progress.
After much
chatter we were able to understand that he wanted to read the future for us, in his bag of sand.
As he made progress impossible we decided to l i sten.

Then, the happy thought

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 I asked the Arab to tell me what he could of her.
I was not surprised when he told me she was a nationally
known evangeli st's wife, traveling with hinl and blessing thousands with her wonder ful s i nging.
I remember how she often sang for our class and how we enj oyed it.
I was still thinking of Naomi, when the man called the name of Sibyl Hooper. vVhat was that he was saying ? " She i s head o f the English department in one o f your colleges where she i s making a good record for herself." The next I asked about was our class president, Milton .smith.
The Arab told
us that Milton was one of our general superintendents of the Nazarene Church, and was doing great things fo r the advancement o f the C�lurch. Then there was M rs . Zimmerman, what could I find out about her ?
She was
touring the United States in interest o f foreign missions and aiding hel- husband in his work. And then we asked him about our Vice-presi dent, Geron Roberts.
He tol d us that
Geron was in New York, where he was pastor o f the l a rgest N azarene Church i n the movement.
He was on leave of absence at this time in Europe. where he was studying
and traveling. After hearing all of these interesting facts we made our way back to the hotel to rest until evening, when we would continue our j ourney.

S i nce having the honor of being chosen by the students as the i r mediators it would b e only natural and normal for all possibl e favors to be given. I t l i stens to the pro颅 posal o f any student o r Faculty member, then if deemed proper and wise, submits the proposal to the student body for the i r consideration.

This Council does not try to show its authority, for the on l y authority that it possesses i s granted by the Faculty. I t is pleased, therefore, to work in full harmony and coopeI路ation with the Faculty. If you were to visit the school for one week, there i s one outstanding feature this organization that you would appreciate, that i s the splen did program rendered Thursday in chapel.

Young Men's Gospel Team
I n t h e midst of t h e hurry o f school l i fe t h e Young Men's Gospel Team gives oppor tunities such as are o f greatest importance to young men preparing fOI' Christian service. There are two privileges thus afforded that can be noted-the pl'ivil ege to . gather inspiration and the privi lege o f good associations. After a week of toil and grind the young men gather at the Gospel Team service and ask God for His blessings. The Lord comes and inspires every heart. In testimony each young man i s helped by another's v i ctory ; in preaching each i s helped b y another's vi sion ; in prayer each is inspired by another's burden. I n fact, the meeting for the young men i s o f such a necessary and inspi rational nature that i t can truly b e 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. Great i s the value of associations with Spirit-fi l l ed lives.
An opportunity o f making
j ust these kinds of associations comes to the student in the Gospel Team meetings. He
is a better young man after he attends, because of the influence o f the friends he meets there. H e never forgets the holy influence o f the meetings once he comes under that influence. Friends 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 remembers how his friend i s fighting bravely on. A l l rely on God. Thus with a united band and with D i vine assistance, an earnest Christian student is inspired to spend and b e spent for humanity.

Young Ladies' Gospel T earn
T h e Young Ladies' Gospel Team i s a religious organization which consists o f the girls o f the school . I t has been an organization for several years, but it seems ',hat this has been the most successful year of its history. Many times cluring the school months the religious life is neglected but this year the gi rls seem to real i z e the import ance o f a closer walk with Jesus. From the very first service the gi rls have shown interest and enthusiasm.
T here has been an average attendance o f about forty.
Each Thursclay they meet for an hour o f prayer and testimony. The Spirit of the Lord has been felt in every service. Many have been blessed, those that were d i s couraged were encouraged and made to have a greater determination to l i ve for Jesus, and some found the Lord in h i s saving and sanctifying power-for which we are thankful. The organization not only gives spi ritual help but also trains i n leadership.
After
taking part i n the gospel team, the girls will be better trained for Chri stian work.

The political parties o f the organization were fai l i ng to meet the needs, and as the time drew near fOI' election the girls reali zed thei r responsibi lity and formed what was known as the W omen's I ndependent Party. Campaign speeches and cries could be heard over the campus i n the evening before the election . B y seven o'clock, when the election was to take place, the gi r l s were one hundred per cent behind the I. W. P. As the members gathered, an air o f mystery seemed t o prevai l .

But the speakel' for the I. W. P. was given the floor, and their platform was pre sented and nominess introduced, causing consternation among the other parties. The election was cal l ed for and the vote taken. Due to the fact that the majority o f the society was girls the I. \,y.

Many meetings were held and work outlined for the club. The path o f the G. H. C . was not al l sunshine and roses, however. On one occa s i on when they were having an important meeting, the door was locked from the outside and they were forced to remain i n session for sometime. Another time they were very much surprised to learn that a di scussion o f some i mportance had been overheard by some of the col lege boys, and of course was broadcast. But even this did not discourage the girls, and by gri m determination and hal'd work they were able to put it over. One of the times most enjoyed by the members was a slumber ( 1 ess ) party at the Girls' dormitory. At about six-thi rty o'clock in the evening one could see girls comiI1g from every di rection, and by seven-thirty there were about twenty-five girls pI'esent, ready to initiate all those who were late. By nine o'clock there were about forty present. After playing many l ively games and stunts-,fol 1owed by a man less wedding -sandwiches, hot coffee and chocolate were served, and the time had arri ved to find a place to sleep. B eds were made on the floor in the parlor and halls. AfteI' telling bedtime stories for an hour or two the gi rls were ready for bed. Then the scrambl e began ; but l o ! when several of the girls turned back the covers, the bed was ful l o f pop-corn : then began t h e search f o r a new bed : p i l l o w s began to fl y , a n d covers t o disappear. The repeated groans from those who w e r e beginning to f e e l t h e need of sleep, the laughter and chatter o f those who were m i nus covers, room or pillows, could be heard. At one o'clock the l i ghts fli ckered and then went off, and they were in total darkness. Some got quiet for awhile, then began the grand chorus by Ru' Constance and lVliss Sherman snoring. This was broken into by B rownie crawling up over the transom i n an adjoining room, cal ling for help.

( Continued from page 24) 'vVe pick the swimmers up as we come to them. Carl catches one fellow floating by ; Willis another. I reach for a wet hand thrown up-it slips. I make a second frantic grab, and the shirt sleeve holds. U p to the side o f the boat I pull him, but the exhausted man has no strength to clamber in. I get my arm down under a l eg in the water, and the poor fellow i s saved. Our boat picked u p seven, two women and five men. The other boats were likewise busy, and it was thought that no l i fe was l ost. Our captain had hot coffee served to the chilled, dripping rescued ones, and those o f us who possessed dry coats or sweaters shared our fOl·tune with thei r misfortune. There were two incidents worthy o f note. My particular rescued man said, through chattering teeth, "I was pull ing my heavy, black sweater over my head, when I was knocked overboard. I got the thing off, and my arms loose, before I came to the surface, and luckily there was a l i fe preserver close at hand. But I had all my money and valuables in a pocket of that sweater." I then remembered the black thing we had seen floating by, and spoke to the captain, who cruised about and picked u p the missing garment. The second noteworthy incident was the pleasure I had i n finding a man after my own heart. H e came swimming toward us with his fish pole hel d high 1I1 one hand. Sadly we watched the flames complete their destructi on-the feared explosion, as the gasoline tank was reached-the convul sion , as of some live thing mortally stricken, then the plunge, the cloud o f smoky steam for a few moments, and the sea resumed its calm. Transferring our rescued ones to a boat starting for the harbor, we retllrned to the fishing grounds, where w e had good success. My seat neighbor, as we were approaching the harbor in the evening, remarked. after a long silence, "Well, w e ha' lost two fu' hours 0' gude feshin'."

We climbed the hill to go to lunch; f;Ve 'll ere hungry as could be-the whole bunch. We had sand'u icltes, salads, cookies, Bananas, oranges, a nd apples. After lunch, there were about twenty-one That got in the truck and had some fun. They got some water in buckets and cans, A nd we had a water fight on hands.

The Mid - Winter Revival The wel l known evangelist J arrette a n d Dell Aycock w e r e engaged f o r our m i d winter meeting. R e v . Aycock w a s converted at t h e a g e o f twenty, and s o o n afterward felt a cal l to preach. H i s ministry has been increased a great deal by his beloved wife who has stood by him so loyally. B rother A.ycock's messages are so profound, and yet, s o simple that all classes enj oy them. Then, besides thIs simpli city, the messenger possesses an excellent spi rit o f sin cerity which grips people. S i ster Aycock's unique method of presentation in the children's services is of the very highest type. She i s an adept i n the art of presenting to children the ideal s :;1 Christianity through pictures and other object lessons which have a lasting effect upon the i r minds. These workers w e r e very successful i n o u r midst. The altar was lined from end to end. extra chairs were placed, and the front benches were used repeatedly for the seekers. N o count was kept of the number who bowed at the altar, but a rough estimate i s about five hundred. The day services were full of grace, helpful to those who were established i n God, and instructive REV. J A.RRETT E AYCOCK to those who had newly found Him. There was much i n these services to impress Christians with the need of more personal work for Jesus Christ.

One o f the unusual features o f the revival was the selling of good l iterature among our people and their friends. Good books by Brother and S i ster Aycock, J . B . Chap man and C. A. McConnell were sold. Then, to climax all, Bethany holds the record for the l argest number of sub scriptions to the "Herald of Holiness" obtained in a single meeting. We had four reasons for putting over our sub scription list. First, we b el i eve in the "Herald o f Holiness" and those behind it. Second, l ike all other people and institu tions, we naturally like to head the l i st ; we l ike to be leaders. Third, we desire to help our fel low man. When we place the paper i n his hands we believe we are giving him some thing that will encourage h i m to seek and find God, ac quaint him with some o f the leaders i n God's work, and with one of the greatest institutions of God and the Church, MRS. DELL AYCOCK and especially the Church of the N azarene. Last, we wanted to help our school. The proposition was put in such a way by B rother Aycock as to be a direct blessing to the school. When the final count was made we had five hundred and seventy-one subscriptions. We do not desire to boast when we say that the students, faculty, and citizens of Bethany are a most loyal people.

The Inspi ration of the Bible S u c h i s t h e intrinsic excellence of Christianity that i t i s adapted to t h e wants of all, and it provides fO!' a l l , not only by its precepts and by its doctrines, but also by its evidence. The poor man may know nothing o f history, o r science, o r phi losophy ; h e may have read scarcely any book but the B i bl e ; he may be totally unable to vanquish the skeptic i n the arena o f public debate ; but he is, nevertheless, surrounded by a panoply which the shafts of infidel ity can never pierce. You may go to the home of the poor cottager, whose heart is deeply imbued with the spirit o f vital Christianity ; you may see him gather h i s l ittle family around h i m. He expounds to them the wholesome doctrines and princi ples of the B i ble, and, i f they want t o know the evidence upon which h e rests h i s faith of the divine origin o f h i s religion, he c a n tell them u pon reading t h e book which teaches Christianity h e fi n d s n o t o n l y a perfectly t r u e description o f h i s o w n natural character, b u t i n the provisions of this rel igion a perfect adaptation to all his needs. It is a religion by which to l ive, a religion by which to die ; a religion which cheers in darkness, rel ieves in perplexity, supports in adversity, keeps steadfast in prosperity, and guides the inquirer to that blessed land where "the wi d::erl cease from troubling, and the weary are at rest."
We entreat you, therefore, to give the B ible a welcome, a cordial reception ; obey its precepts, trust its promises, and rely implicitly upon that D i vine Redeemer whose rel igion brings glory to God in the h i ghest, and on Earth peace and good-wi l l to men. Thus w i l l you fulfill the noble end of your- existence, and the great God of the Universe w i l l be your- father and your friend ; and, when the l ast mighty convulsion shall shake the earth and the sea and the sky, and the fragments of a thousand barks, richly freighted with intellect and learning, are scattered on the shores of error and delusion, you r vessel shal l i n safety outride the storm, and enter i n triumph the haven of eternal rest.

Editorial GREETIN GS : The sixth volume o f the Arrow is now before you. It is a reminder that another year of our school life is quickly coming to a close, and soon the curtain of time will have dropped on the scenes of its activities. A s a staff, we have earnestly striven to prepare this volume in such a way as to reflect the activities of the year in what is truly representative. The purpose herein is that the contents will be the means of keeping alive in our memories the pleasant happenings of this school year. And while endeavoring to make this truly
representative, we have also hoped to add to its attractiveness by carrying the I ndian theme throughout its pages. vVe wish to thank the student body for their cooperation, encouragement, and loyal support. 'liVe have also been stimulated a great deal by the kindness which the faculty has extended to us. vVe are not unmindful o f those, who, though not of our immediate number, have so kindly assisted us. \Vhatever degree of Sllccess we may have attained in this publication has largely been due to the efficient labor of the contributors. Desiring that this w ill fulfill the purpose for which it is prepared, we submit this volume for your perusal.

Managerial Before you i s the f ruit o f one year's tireless endeavors of one o f the most loyal staffs with which any editor and manager could have the pleasure of associat足 ing. It is with pleasure and j oy that we have served the college as active workers of the 1 928 Arrow. We appreciate, sincerely, the earnest cooperative spirit of the entire student body toward this publication. The success of the Annual contest i s due t o the loyal support and interest o f the student body. Their different contri足 butions were greatly appreciated. It would be impossible however, to publish a book of this sort with only the support of the" student body. In order, therefore, to finance the publication we had to solicit a great deal of advertisement. We acknowledge thanks to the bu.,i足 ness men of Bethany, Yukon and Oklahoma City for their help in making this book possible. We owe a debt of gratitude which must be paid to our loyal churchmen who also helped us a great deal. Finally, we would not fail to express our \\"hole-hearted appreciati on to the faculty of Bethany-Peniel College fIJr their kind consideration. To the Arrow staffs of the future, we extend felicitations.
Advice to the '29 Staff I f you desire e l ection carry on a hearty campaign. B e sure to shave and dress up before electi on.
Votes are difficult to get.
Editor-Be sure that you have the office. See to i t that you have a congenial staff and that you have YOUl' best girl on it. During your summer vacat i on we would suggest that you rest and sleep, ror hard work an d sleepl ess n i ghts are sure to come to you. :t\ever get i rritated if some o f the members o f the staff decide to work. Business Manager-Practice your speech-making i n the summer, as you w i l l have no time to do i t after school has started. Coll ect all b i l l s promptl y ; never stand for procrastination on the part of your debtors. Develop a good nature and a stationary smi le, so that after receiving a good bawling-out you can invite i r r itated students to call again to pay thei r bills. I n formation i n Genera l : Explain ful ly all necessary procedures to Freshmen to avoid useless questions. Never promise a good picture to anyone ; demand payment for all pi ctures. A l a rge dictionary is a n ecessity, no knowledge i s needed. Post all notices upside down ; curiosity will prompt the students to read them. Always try to do your work backwards, so you wi 11 be sure to get it right. Get a supply o f smelling salts before all owing the gi rl s to see their proofs. Use the floor for a waste basket ; it doesn't fil l so easily. Always have a savi ngs account so you can entertain v i sitors. Keep dummy l ocked up ; some people are fond o f them. :\ ever tell anything outside the staff room.
Never work l ater than 2 :00 A. M . to help keep u p your studies.

Half-Holiday T h e sun shined s o brightly, and the breezes blew s o gently upon that day, that the student body could almost hear the call to the wi lds. School was goi n g as usual, the morning sli pped away and chapel was next i n order. It had been some time since the promise o f a half-holi day was given, which was to celebrate the Annual Contest. Perhaps this promise had sli pped from the minds o f many o f the students ; while the others were occupied with ordinary cares o f school l i fe . Chapel went as usual unti l at the l ast the announcements were being made, when the house was fi lled with noise resulting from the clapping of hands and the stamping of feet, reacting to the an足 nouncement that in fon11ed us the afternoon would be used for the hal f-holi day so long l ooked for.

I mmediately after dinner the students gathered around on the campus for an en 足 j oyable afternoon. The outstanding game of the afternoon was basket ball. The Uppel'classmen and Academy were the fi rst ones to play. The Freshies coul d b e seen on the side l i ne watching the team work of the Upperclassmen, for they must soon clash w i th them. They had chal lenged the winning team for a game and i t was not long unti l they saw that the Upperclassmen would be the i r rivals. The first game ended with a score decidedly in favor of the Upperclassmen. There were only a few mi nutes i ntervention until the game between the Upper足 classmen and the Freshmen was call ed. The battle was hard fought by both teams. But when the whi stle blew and the scol-e was counted i t was found to stand 18 to 16 in favor of the Upperclassmen. vVhile the last was going, the refreshmC'nts were being prepared. It was in front o f the Admini stration Building about five o'clock, that the refreshments were served. Sandwiches, cookies, and punch were the main constituents of the refreshments. These surely served the purpose for which they were intended this time. After being served so bountifully the gi rls decided that the day should not pass without their partici pating in something ; so the hal f-holiday was ended by a rousing game of basket ball played by the girls.
