Dean C. Dutton, Ph. D . The many speakers whom the stu dents of Bethany-Peniel College are privi leged to hear each year are indeed a so u rce of great pleasure as well as a valuable sup pirmcnt to school work. Among otherl:) "'ho were speakers in the school this year, "'e were privileged to have Dr. Dean C. DuttOll to lecture. Dr. Dutton is director of inspir ational conferences under the supervision of the extension department of Oklahoma Uni versity. He is a man who has travelled widely and has achieved great success as an author. Dr, Dutton vvas at Bethany-Peniel CoI lege January 10, to 12, 1926. During this time he delivered nine lectures, which dealt with various phases of life. The first of these was a discourse on prayer, entitled "Masterful Engineering." Dr. Dutton
pictured prayer as one of the resources which God gave man - kind to use in making achievemrnts. He showed how that through prayer, com munion with the Heavenly Father, the most stupendous of all the accomplish ments of men have been made. Truly prayer is the greatest gift our gracious Father has given us. The next two lectures given ii1 the course were, "The Challenge of a New Day," and" Our Grand Old Flag." 'fhese lectures presented to us beautiful thoughts of the standards for which America is contending. Old Glory, the speaker pictured as the emblem of an unselfish democracy. Our country's efforts to abide by the slogan, " America for humanity," have enabled her to gain a foremost place among the nations of the world. The lectures, "The Majesty of Chivalry," "The Stuff That 'Wins," and "The Majesty of Man," were messages of especial interest and great inspira tion to the students. Other lectures given were; '''fhe Sacrifice of Sydney Carton," "The Majesty of Man," and "The WIen of Tomorrow." All of these were masterpieces of ol:atory and were greatly enjoyed. The manifest appreciation of the lectures of Dr. Dutton were well founded. The enjoyment of the lectures was <lue not only to the striking characteristics of the speaker-a striking personality, and excellent command of English, a forceful delivery-but also to the beautiful philosophy which pervaded all of the lectures. 'l'he lectures taught that life to be truly worth the while must be given to God. That is a beautiful life which helps others to bear their burdens, their sorrows, their misfortunes, and which inspires them to live truer, more noble, more Christlike, lives. Such a life is not without reward.-Vl. D. twenty-one

As we co m plete the third year of college work in Bethan y -Peniel College, we are tempted to lay aside our books, close our e yes and reflect upon the days we have spent here. ,
Three years ago with our minch open and eager for ImOldedge, we came seeking entrance at the doors of this college. During these years we have sat at the feet of her learned men and women, satisfying this d esire for k nowle d ge. vVe have delved into the mysteries of psychology and modern science. VT , e and trigonometry. \\Te have drunk in the beauty an d splendor of Shakespel'e, \\T ordsworth, Burns, and Poe. We have struggled through Spanish German, and Latin and have crowded our memory wit.h dramatic tales of the rise and fall of many nations. ,
,
So now as we are musing upon the problem s met and solved and the
lessons l earned, we lay claim to no praise for ourselves, but would give the glory to our beloved college.
However, it is not merely for this knowledge that we offer our gratitude to Bethany Peniel College. We are not satisfied with 'what we have learned, for we feel that we have merely had our eyes op ened to the vast wealth of knowledge which lies out before us. But we have seen a vision of how much ther e is to learn; we have heard the urgent call for young peqple who are ready and willing to attack life's problems with the enthusiasm and ardor 路with which they have conquered psychology 'tnd mathematics; we have had our initiation into the school of servcie, and have discovered that succe ss is measured not in dollars and cents but in service to h u m a nity ; we have learned the first lessons in co-operation; we ha v e really begun the serious business of living. Now our vision is broader, our outloo k on life magnificent, our faith in God unshaken. -
It is for these accomplishments within the walls or B. P. C. that we reel our de epe s t appreciation. \\Te would offer at the feet of ou r college garlands of praise to bespeak our heart-felt gratitude and a doration for which she is so worthy. Down through the years to come we i:ihall ever reserve a warm place in our memory for B . P. C. -C. K. S. ,

The environment under wh ich the student is placed in c o l le ge e x e rts an immeasurable influence upon h i m The campus i s a l i ttl e community in itself. Each student has c e r t ai n righ ts, but, on the other hand , e a ch right carries with i t obligations. In l e a rn i n g to conform t o t h e r u l e s and t o know wh ere his privileges end and his du t i e s begin, the student l e a rn s one o f the foremost essentials o f good citizenshi p , h e learns to practice the " Golden RUle.

Our country's government can b e safe only in t h e hands of t h e college ' · red. He has weighed forms of government , politi c a l ideas, and econo m ic p rob l e m s of past history ; he h as a pp li ed these tests t o present day problems. In this way h e knows what steps to take in order t o m a ke su ccess ; what ste p t o t a k e i n order t o shun fail ure.. Thus, i t i s the college graduate 'w h o knows wha t steps t o t a k e in a great political or n a t i onal crisis ; it i s h e who knows h ow to carry on the financial program successfully ; and i t is he wh o knows how to reg ula te commerce to t he g r e a te s t p o::; si ble adva n t a g e . It is t h e college bred who understands, u p hol d s , and r e v erences democracy, and it is on h i s l eadership th a t the democracy of fut ure America r e s t s . The college bred's Imovvledge is n o t limited t o a few s h o r t spans, but his r an ge of knowlege extends o ver a broad field.

At the suggestiQn of the c o l l e g e pastor, Rev. A. L. Parrott, the young Theologs of B e thany-Peniel College met i n the e arly part of the school year, i n the Bible Room and formed an organization under th e a b ove titl e . K. S . W h i t e w as chosen President, M i s s L e o n a Forbes S e cretary. S i n c e t h e n , G. ,V. Brannon and Miss Forb es have succeede d him as president. Their time of meeting for the association is Monday afterno o n of each week. The central idea of the organization is a sta tement of President Bracken to the YOllng preachers, " D o not forget that 'while you are here preparing for life, you are already in life 's work. " In re ality, the organization is a practical training camp for Christian service. O n occasion they are the pastor 's helpers. 'l'h e y go out to nearby towns and hold religious services. I n revivals and evangel istic meet ing;:; they w ork through the con gregation and at the altar. In their weekly gatherings they discuss matters of do ctrine a.nd practi c a l workings of church activity. Several of the members are already holding pastorates while p ursuing their studies in Coll ege. It i s the purpose o f the Dep artment of Theol ogy that i t shall send out well trained, thoroughly equip ped, Spirit a n oint e d Nazarenes to fill the pUlpits and man the ev an'gelistic platforms of our Church.

In accordance with the great purpose of s:;; r eading scriptual holiness, f o r which our N azarene seho01s were found ed , Bethany-Peniel College maintains a strong Theological Depart ment for instruction i n God 's vV ord. The de partm ent i s under the direction of e ffi c ient t e a ch ers. Professor C . A. M c Connell, Dean o f Theolo gy, has been th e instructor of m a ny who a re toda y the l e a d e rs in t h e Naza rene
Church.
In co nn ectio n with the Th eol ogical Department a Bible convention is hel d i n January of each year. These have p r o v e d t.o b e a valuable aid i n the study of the Bible. The lecture course of this year was of particular interest to Nazarenes, since they dealt p articularly with the d o ctrines of our church. Indeed a ,vise selection was made when Dr. J . B. Chapman, Editor of The Herald o f Holiness, Kansas City, w as chosen as special speaker for t h e o c casion. H i s ability a s a prea c h er, the ologian, a n d t eacher i s recognized throughout the movement. Surely n o one stands b etter prepared to speak o n the great do ctrines o f the Nazarene Church than h e .

" Of t horns men do not g a ther grap es, n o r of t h i s tl es gather they fi gs. " This is a great truth set deep in t h e "\\T o rd of G od. In other �w o rds , l i vi n g things in nature pu t fo rth t h ings in perfect h armony w i th themselves. If this pri n c i ple b e t rue a qu es t ion arises a::; to why m a n sh o uld need tra ining in ex pre ssi o n seeing that h e is a l iving b e ing j u s t a s tru ly as t h e p l a n t s afore m entioned.

We convey to o thers o u r th ou gh ts and fee l i n gs by three means : words, tone, a nd a ction . W h ether one wills t o or not he i s continual l y , b y Ius \vord cho i cc s , the mod u l ation of his tone, and at til�ude of body, setting forth hi s ideas and p rinciples.

T h is is accomplished by t hree sorti:) of work, viz., individual l e ssons, class w 0 1'k, and p l a tform work. I nd i v i d u al instruction is b y pr i v a te lessons.

The D el t a Rho Literary Society is a m e d i u m through which the poise a n d character of its members are developed. It h o l ds h i g h standards for their lives. The Delta Rh o ' s are ideal A mericans-young men and women who have t he a m b i tion to b e worth while i n l i fe. They believe that the problems of l i fe m a y be more easil y solved ; that t h e most prized goals m a y be mo re read i l y a t tained through t h e a ge nc y of a college education than by any o t her means. The desire to serve h u manity and to succeed has u r g e d them, despite numerous di fficulties and obsta.cles, to earnestly and d i l igently s t ri v e for t he r ic h es o f an education. In c a r ry i n g on the activities of t he society it is in tended i n .so far as p o ssibl e to keep each member active by the bestowal of an office upon him or by giving h i m parts in as many of t h e week l y programs a s po ss ib l e .

Education consists not only in i n tellectual cievel o p m ent, but i nc l u des the culti vation of t h e
many fa cu l t ie s wh ic h make u p one's personality. T h e Literary societies contribute greatl y t o th i s l atter factor in education. They give t he student the opportun i t y of performing before an audience; they make him familiar with parl iamentary laws; they teach him the art of friendly competition ; they train his social nature to th e extent that he becomes more sociable, more refined, and more self-possessed. The l iterary societies a re thus seen t o be a v l ua ble asset to the scho ol
a
.
The Utopian Society, which is one of t h e academy societies, realize s the i mportant posi ti on of these organizations in school life, and is making noble e ffor t s to fil l its place well.
Besides being one of the largest soci e t i es in the school it has many o th e r characteristics of no te. Some of these traits . : a high st an da rd of literary work reflecting credit upon the school ; an illustrious spirit of loyarl)' to society, school, and fel low classm at es ; a u n i t y that assures pro gress ; and a ready willingness to accept responsibility. This combination of traits has been largely responsible for the success the Utopians have enjoyed this year. In 1925-1926 the Utopians have made a record of which they are justly proud. On Campus Day they won first prize in t he ca k e-baking contest in wh ich all th r ee societies competed. Their basketball t eam won the championship of the year. Also, one of their m e m bers Miss Leona Forbes, attained the val edictorian h on o r of the Senior Class. ,
This society, however, is not cont.ent with the victories of the past. Instead, they are looking to the future with fond expectations. It is the purpose o f t h e society to cont.inue its work o f de veloping the intellect, of molding strong Christian character, and of inspiring in the members the lofty i deals of a l i fe of s ervice I t purposes that i t s members should go forth from the society better prepared to serve God and humanity.

The community of B et h a ny is fortunate i n h« ving t h e host of Christian young p e o pl e -m o s t of whom are s t u d ents of B. P. C.-·who atten d and l"endet the p r o grams of the N. Y. P.

Because the mem b e rs hi p was so l arg e , it was fou n d diffiicult to a rrange a s e ri e s of p ro gra m s i n which each member could p arti ci p a t e. A t the be ginning of this s c h o o l y ear t h ere w as inaugurated a plan which is p ro v i n g to be a n adequate solution of the problem. The s o c i e ty is divided into five groups. E a ch group in su ccessi on fur nis h e s the pro gram. The c a pt a i n s of t h e five divisions are Raymond S o uth a ll , D e lbert Gish , Pau l Hoag, Lester Spinks, and Ly s t e r Neal.

'1'he good i nt e re s t the m embers h a v e s h o w n i n the work o f t h e so ciety is due largely to the many special programs rendered during the yeal'. The District N. Y. P .

Other things being equal, happiness depends to a great extent on health, and health is dependent to just as great an extent upon proper exer· cise. Recognizing this, Bethany-Peniel College seeks to give t o athletics a place of worthy recognition. This recognition is given mainly because of the fact that athletics provide a form of recreation which is at once interesting and beneficial. Along with the pleasure derived from the games is the proper development of the physique. Obviously, youth is the time in which this development should receive greatest emphasis and a school whose administration makes n o provision for this phase of its students ' welfare is manifestl y unfair. Therefore we believe in making it possible for each young man and woman t o receive the benefit offered by participation in athletic activities. The interest of our school in athletics may be expressed in rather con crete form by a reference to our A thletic A ssociati ons. These associations are composed of about one hun dred members 'who are able through the payment of annual dues to proviue the necessary athletic equipment. Aside from this organization there are many who cannot enter unreservedly into the various activities but who are, nevertheless, vitally interested. Our school teams do not compete with those of other schools but a keen and friendly competition is maintained between classes and literary s ocieties. Among the different games entered into here are baseball, basketball, tennis, and, once each year, the track meet. This y e ar 's basket ball series has just closed. 1'he winners in these inter-class games are the Academy Sen iors. The b aseball season opened amidst much enthusiasm . The annual track meet, which takes place every spring, is an event of great interest to the school and surrounding community. From six to eight weeks of practi ce u suall y precede the day of the meet. Some of the features of the meet are : the standing broad jump ; running broad jump ; the standing high jump ; the running high jump ; the fifty, one-hundred, and two-hundred-and-twenty-yard dashes ; the q u a rtr-mile, h a lf-m ile, and mile races ; the relay ; the p ole vault ; the discus ; the hammer throw ; and the shot put. One of the regulations in regard to athletics is that those 'who parti cipate in the various games must be doing standard and acceptable school work. There are other reg.u lations, which are uphel d by the students although they are not recorded in the statute b o oks. The athletes believe in clea n , honest sportsmanship. They comp ete in friendly, though keen , spirit of rivalry. For this we are very thankful. \Ve trust that it will ever be so.

By A. L. Parrott
Looking back over the vast expanse of past ages, man is seen coming forth to look for the first time upon a new creation. He is the crowning work of God's hand, the dome of the animal creation. Prior to this time there had been none to understand, none to appreciate the works o f the Creator. The earth was clothed i n beauty, the landscape unfolded its enhancing scenery, the sky spread its magnificent curtain, the sun travelled in the majesty of his power, the moon and stars solemnly portrayed the glory and wisdom of the Divine hand, but there was not an eye to look upon that dazzling scenery, nor a mind to fathom its profound mysteries. But man with his God·given faculties, his divinely inspired apprehensions, could appreciate the world in which he had been placed. The �eat o f this intellectual power i s i n the mind, located in the deep silent recesses o f the brow. Here reason toils at her appointed task, here memory hides away her prized treasures, here imagination spreads her lofty wings, and thought creates her teem ing wonders, here beneath the dome of this sacred temple the immortal spirit looks u p and adores the great God from whom i t came. Truly he was the King of the earth, admitted to the Paradise o f Eden for a home with God as his visitor, and the angels as his companions. This new home of man was scarcely surpassed by Heaven itself ; i n it was everything that was appealing to the appetite or pleasing to the eye, it flowed with streams of Living Water and was dotted with trees on which l ife bloomed and rip. ened, encircled by everything that could create happiness. But this state of bliss soon became one of the chaos, and as truly as the inhalYitants of Arcadia were driven from their quiet homes in the valley 01 Grand Pre, so were our foreparents driven from that beautiful Edenic home i n which they had been placed. This new abode of man was a world with a curse upon it. The earth that once produced nothing but that which was for the comfort of man, is now producing briers and thorns, the air that once was pure and exhilarating as the sweet incense that arose from the Gol den Altar, is now pregnated with the painful gasses from hades. H is mind is infatuated hy sin, he , heing placed under conscience, became responsible for the condition of his own world. What then, will man drift on with the ages, failing to recognize this solemn responsibility of l i fe, or will he busy himself creating his own atmosphere, and make the world hetter h y virtue of having lived in i t ? How important that men of the present resist the tendency that is the com mon heritage of the times,-this wi de-spread proneness to press through the world without l i fting burdens, making lives hetter, or pointing souls to the Lamb of God. Humanity is confronted b y that most v i tal question-Can man control his environments, his circumstances, h i s thought s ? But still more essential, are these the creatures o f his creation, or is he the victim o f conditions, a mere machine? The human body and mind are in perfect harmony, amI when i n union with the Divine, there is no limit, no bound to what can he achieved. A new world can h e created, and the portals o f l ife can he opened wide t o success a n d happiness. The mind presseth steadily forward, creating her own world before her, leaving worlds behind her, the web of events is the flowing robe in which she is clothed, and any adequate conception of the life that now is, as well as that which is to come, should lend consolation for the ills o f the day, and lead into an atmosphere of bliss supreme.

A youth once realizing this wan dered to the door o f a wise man m q um n g for the key that would u n lock the portal to t h i s more abundant l ife of usefulness and felicity. "G uard your though t . " s a i d the w i se man, "for out o f them are the i s s u e s of life." The youth, wil l i n g to
j u s t i fy himsel f said, "Tho u g h ts come and go like birds f l y i n g over t h e
head." "True," said the w i se man, "but though birds do fly over the h ea d t h � y can be prev e n t e d f r o m b u i l d i n g nests i n the h a i r." Thoughts do bave a way o f coming unawares and unbidden, but i t rests with the i n d iv idual as to whether they are b idden to hasten away or are invited to b e guests with whom is held sweet converse. Sacred Writ is ever true, "As a man t h i n k e t h in his heart so is he." The thoughts of the quiet solitudes o f l i fe a re going to mould the character, fashion the l i fe, and d e c ide t he d e s t i n y of m a n. Here is a m a n thought of all to be of sterling character, a leader in his community. Some w i n ds of adversity arise, or the wheel of fortune turns not after the former manner, he is caught una· wares, and suddenly goes down like a paper·house in a n angry st o r m . Why? Somewhere in the now forgotten past the t h o u g h t Efe began to swerve from the pure a n d ennobli ng. Slowly, b u t surely the seeds o f decay a n d wickedness were sown, a n d this crisis o n l y se rve d notice, a n d the fai r structure crumble d to dust.

There i s success for every man ; i f he fa ils to find a way, h e sh o ul d make one b y taking ad· vantage of every opportu n i ty, a s it presents i tself. A b raham Lincoln who a t tained the h i gh e s t honor of his c o u n t ry , learned to write on barn doors and studied his lessons b y pine knot torches. Why i s it that a man i n New York can con· verse w i t h h i s friend in C h icago, that a message can flash for t housands o f miles beneath t h e m i ghty ocean, that wirel ess telegraphy can waft its message through c urr en ts of air, t h a t. science o f el ec t r i c i t y is about to revolutionize o u r idea of trave l ? I t is because men o f the past have ig· nored difficulties, have triumphed over every opposing element, and have created their own world. Lose sight then of t rivial things, of earthly longings, since true happiness i s i n the realm Di· vine. Quit the world of morbidness, gaze upon nature i n all her beauty and gra n d e u r, bathe t h e brow w i t h t. he breezes o f h eaven, a n d t h e l i fe w i l l grow as sparkl i n g as t h e crystal wa ter lea p i n g its way toward t h e sea. Let the l i fe b e spent. i n t h e midst of t h e stream of p o wer a n d wisdom, l i nger near t he t. hrone, that may flow from your heart r i v e rs of living water. And as t ruly as the king of day l i ft s his giant head above the banisters o f the eastern horizon, mou n t i ng ·his fiery char. iot for his appointed journey across the steep pathways of the sky, giving a l i ght by day, a n d the m o o n m a k i n g her appo i n ted journey ar o u n d the center of the great solar system m a k i n g a li g h t for o u r pathway by night, so w i l l the Son of righteousness arise with h e a l in g in his wings, and the Holy S p i r i t w i l l guige a s b y the pillar of cloud by day and t he pillar o f fire b y night until the landing is made over i n that b ea u t i ful City, whose b u i l de r a n d maker is Gocl,-Eternal i n the Heavens.
