For all things beautiful, and good, and true;

For things that seemed not good yet turned to good;

For all the sweet compulsions of Thy will

That chastened, tried and wrought us to Thy shape;

For things unnumbered that we take of right,

And value first when they are withheld

For light and air; sweet sense of sound and smell;

For ears to hear the heavenly harmonies;

For eyes to see the unseen in the seen;

For vision of the Worker in the work;

For hearts to apprehend Thee everywhere; We thank Thee, Lord.

—John Oxenham

The ex-serviceman Warren Wright, senior at our school, has a testimony of conversion somewhat different from that of many Chris- tians. He tells of his having been born in a Christian home and hav- ing enjoyed the blessings common to many Americans: kind parents, wholesome environment, saintly folk as his example; but he did not know his Savior in a vital, personal way. In high school days he faced the uncertainties of life fearfully, but did not realize his definite need of a higher power in life, until he came out of the army.

8 Dedicatory Recital for Hammond Concert Organ

was presented before a large audience in Founders' Memorial Auditorium by Prof. Raymond Weaver. The recital included several of the classical works for organ as well as arrangements of much-loved hymns. Among the classics included in the program were Handel's Largo, Rondo for Flute Stops by Rinck, In Springtime by Kinder. In Autumn by Robert Elmore, Tschaikowsky's Andante Cantabile, and Sonata No. VI by Mendelssohn. This last composition is based on ''Our Father, Who Art in Heaven" and is the last Sonata written by this composer, as well as one of the greatest of all works for the organ.

Included in the arrangements of and meditations on hymns were Rock of Ages, Blessed Quietness, Near the Cross, and Oh God Our Help i'in Ages Past with Paul van Gorkom assisting in each of these at the vibra- ,harp. Prof. Weaver's own arrangement of Showers of Blessing for piano and organ was played with Prof. Ira Gerig assisting at the piano.

Dr. S. A. Witmer, President, gave a brief explanation of the first con- ception of placing such an instrument in our school, and how it is now be- ing brought into reality by the gifts of the friends of the school.

14 He Is Caring for Me

I know that my Father is caring For all of His children below; I know that thro' sunshine and shadow. He guides me wherever I go.

I fear not tho' peril surround me, He's promised to shield me from harm; Tho' doubt and temptation assail me, I'm safe in His sheltering arm.

I trust Him thro' all of life's journey, For clearly the way He can see; I hold to His hand in the darkness;

I know He is caring for me.

One world is but dust in His balance, One sea but a drop in His hand;

One soul in His sight is more precious Than treasures of ocean and land.
