Other series have dealt with the meaning of life, spiritual quests, and during the Christmas season a close ex- amination of the infancy narratives of Luke and Matthew. But perhaps most importantly, Robinson himself reflects the balance he tries to instill in the young men of his dorm. He is an alumnus of Columbia Union College with a history degree and a master's degree in religious education from Boston College. An office lined with books reflects his love of reading and ideas. His chapel presentations are creative and articulate.

He also serves as the faculty advisor to the Stu- dent Association. Being responsible for revising and enforcing the student handbook, he also chairs the government commit- tee, which dispenses discipline whenever needed. He assesses his role by saying, "student affairs need to be a bridge between student life and academics, so we can help the student develop both as a person and as a scholar." Himself a former dean, Dickerson claims "one of the most important factors in a student's life is where and how he lives." Thus, he, like Robinson and Trace want AUC to be a place where students develop themselves fully. Complimenting them, he notes, "student life on campus is in very good hands. The deans do an excellent job of combining intellectual expectations and the socializing process." A native of the northwest, Dickerson is completing a doc- torate at Loma Linda University in Administration Leadership Assistant Dean of Men, Ted Phelps. with emphasis on the legal aspects of education. AUC's Deans are committed to making a college student's stay in the residence hall a significant part of a college education.

BY EARL W. AMUNDSON, President Atlantic Union Conference

What time is it? It is altogether possible that this is the most-asked question in all the world. We do everything by the clock. The last thing at night and the first thing in the morning we ask, "What time is it?" We eat, sleep, work, play, study, relax, and drive down the road by the clock. We come into this world by the clock and leave it the same way. Lovers court by the clock, the wheels of commerce turn by it, economic prog- ress is regulated by it, and preachers are always at war with it. What on earth would we do without the clock? Even when we do nothing, we are limited by time. There are many conflicting voices in the world today. While in America there is a growing realization that a return to traditional values and In Job 14:1 and 2 the brevity of life cannot be conservatism is not only desirable but necessary, mistaken as we read, "Man that is born of a there are others who say that the church is behind woman is of few days, and full of trouble.

The church of the Lord Jesus Christ will the glorious ascension of Jesus (Acts 1:9-11), the never be any more outdated than its Head, and we works of men seem far behind the times—some read in the book of Lamentations that the mercies two thousand years behind. The trouble is not and compassions of the Lord "fail not," and with the church, but with this egotistic and godless "They are new every morning: great is thy age in which we live. The world is so far behind faithfulness" (Lamentations 3:22, 23). the church that it thinks it's ahead. Men and Christianity is a living religion—a way of life: women without Christ as their guide are behind Physically the church is limited by time, but the times. The only way for a person to get his/her neither space nor time can be a barrier to it life set at the right time is to come to Christ by the spiritually. Because man's time is limited, the Bi- way of the Cross.
