MONTREAT COLLEGE
As we enter the threshold of a
new year let us resolve to follow
Christ. “If any man be in Christ
he is a new creature.” This is the
secret of better living. Good res
olutions are a valuable aid, but
a “new heart” is what we really
need, and that is possible only
through Christ.
There are some definite ways
in which we should foUow Christ.
First, in His Word. In the faith
ful reading and meditation of the
Bible we learn His law, and His
will for us. Second, in prayer.
Study thoughtfully the petitions
of “the Lord’s Prayer”, and of
Jesus’ prayer for His disciples in
tiie seventeenth chapter of John.
Ponder, and follow His habits of
prayer. Third, in devotion to
duty. Let us put the first things
first in our Lives throughout the
year that is ahead of us, and let
us be “diligent in business, fer
vent in spirit, serving the Lord.”
Following Christ is not the easy
way, but it is the only way.
Christ is the only infallible
Guide for the tour through 1948.
The Conductor’s word is sure
and steadfast. He says, ‘My grace
is sufficient for thee; my strength
is made perfect in weakness.
Faith, hope, and love abide.
“Jesus Christ, the same yester
day, today, and forever.” “All
things are yours, and ye are
Christ’s and Christ is God’s.”

People have long tried to de
fine that feeling that each has for
his own alma mater. It is inher
ent in each of us to be loyal to
the organization we are in and to
love our school. Montreat girls
present no contradiction to that
law, but rather we feel that there
is more of that feeling of love and
loyalty here than is found in
many places — certainly more
than in large universities. This is
not particularly an argument for
small schools, just one small
school. The beginning of the year
is a good time to take inventory.
We take inventory of our assets
—fixed assets and current assets.
Montreat College is without
doubt an asset in the lives of
those who have been here and
will be here—we hope it is a
fixed asset.
What is there about this little
school that makes us love it so?
It has been a Christian school,
setting high standards and ideals
in our lives. V/e read recently a
tetter written by one of our Mon-
treat students to her home
church. In it she said, “Mon
treat is on the Southern Presby
terian Church grounds; it has a
Christian atmosphere, and soone;
or later each girl that comes cap
tures some of this Christian
spirit.”
How many times we have
heard girls say, “We get so much
for so little at Montreat.” Our
new president, Dr. McGregor,
agrees with this, one of the most
important policies of our school,
which enables many who would
otherwise be unable to go to col
lege at all to get a well-rounded,
Christian education. We are glad
of this because it means that, as
much as possible, Montreat will
