When we lift our eyes as we stand on the porch of the Lakeside Build ing early in the morning a panorama of beauty meets our gaze. Mountain peaks surround us. Can’t you feel God’s protection in those hills? The rain spatters on the lake and the surface sparkles and dances. On a clear morning the blueness of the sky is reflected in the mirror like water. Just now the loveliness of the trees is” almost breathtaking. What do we see in all this beauty? Do we see water, hills, clouds simply as water, hills, and clouds? Or do we see them as God’s handi work, evidences of His maje.sty and power? How many times have we risen and started the day confident in the sufficiency of our own strength, only to find at the end of the day that we have accomplished very little? We had subconsciously said that morning: “I can do it alone; I have education, I am young, and youth can do anything.” Whence came the mental capacity to learn? Who gave us our life? God—the same God who can and will give us more than sufficient strength if we but call on Him. At Morning Watch there is a time for meditation on some part of God’s Word and for private prayer, a time to lift our eyes unto the hills from whence cometh our help, for our “help cometh from the Lord.” The Morning Watch service is held ten minutes before breakfast each morning on the porch of the Lakeside Building. You are, how ever, welcome, and urged to go, at any time that is convenient for you. PRAYER MEETING Let’s each one stop and think a minute about the word “rever ence.” To some of us it has no meaning at all, but to the greater number of us, it means respect—respect to our God who made us and all things—respect to our God who loved us enough to give His son for us. Just stand back and listen as the girls come into Prayer Meet ing; you’ll agree that we need more reverence. When We enter Prayer Meeting we are usually coming from some other meeting or interest and it is difficult to change to a shipful frame of mind. It is easy to forget that we are talking loud and that our voices carry and disturb the silence. If each girl would start with herself and be quiet the difference would be great. It is very noticeable how much quieter we have been recently but we can still improve. The same thing can be said about coming out from Prayer Meet ing. When the benediction is pronounced, everyone, with accord, starts talkin.g. Let’s remember that we are still in God’s house and should be quiet still. Think about this verse and try to make it pur goal: The Lord is in His holj’’ temple: let all the earth kpep silence before Him. Prayer Room Are there ; not times in your everyday life when you wish to get away from it all?” Don t you sometimes feel that nobody un derstands at that particular mo ment? Aren’t there times when you just want to be alone alone to think, to. pray, to read your Bible, or just to be alone with God? The Prayer Room near Gaither is always open to anyone who wishes to go there for a few min utes of quiet. In addition to the Prayer Room itself, there is ^ porch at the back of the building- Each Tuesday night at seven o’clock there is a brief prayer.ser vice conducted here by the Spin ual Life Group. This is “not in tended as a special occasion, it is only a pause for meditation an prayer” of any who care to come. It is hoped that more girls wi discover the true usefulness o this place not only as a place for services, but also as a quiet place for private devotions.

The editor-in-chief look ed anxiously about the busy staff room. The two-thirty bell buzzed out its warning and injected speed into the movements of the room.
