those who died for their disobedience. and
by the thought of all who had not been

Paul was panied because Demas had de-
parted, having loved the things of the
world. The hard thing to endure is to
see some refuse to take Gods gift of life
It is the one thing lacking in many a
life that it does not connect itself with
Christ and openly with his church. o

our conquest complete
With these thoughts lingering in our

Our college has witnessed for many
years the faithful service of our head
janitor, whom all have respected and
loved:-respected for his faithfulncss and
devotion to the interests of the college;
loved because of his gentle, warm ana
cOnfiding nature; because he has cared for
the sick, chiding the erring, and encour-
aged all by his simple pure and unaffect-
ed Christian life. And if our friend who
so many years should soon be translated
to serve the Christ in his heavenly
world. we know that his kindness. his
tenderness, his fidelity and trusttulness
will not die when he dies: they Will go
on and be cherished among the delightful
memories of your college life.
Deaths conQueStS seem great; its har-
vest is large. but these useful lives are
surely slipped and planted and will grow
again in a garden where the reaper OF
death can never enter.
We have come up from the riverbed of
the word and are now on the palisade OF
earthly comfort. Beyond the gentle slope
of death the spirit ascends to the pail
SADIE above. We cannot see it now, but
when our conquests are ended, we shall
see what Is prepared for them that love
the way. the truth. and the life.
AS you go forth into life, let your first
effort be to possess n strong Christian
character. Do not shrink from constant
conflict. Conquest then will be assured.

Tune-"Hcidelberg Stein song from
THE Prince of Pisen.''
Gather We here with our hearts so free,
For the tasks of the year are ended.
For hut brief time will our parting be,
Now sever We not our ways:
Now ere long the end of our course well
see,
When grief with JOY will be blended
, So now let us sing a song that will ring
In memory through future days.
Refrain.
: Here's to our class-the best alive
Here's to old Colby. too.
| Here's To the class of nineteen five.
Here's to the gray and blue,
: Heres to the life we love so dear,
Here's to the future bright.
Here's to our happy junior year.
Here's to the green ana white.
(Repeat refrain for chOruS.)
, Oh! College halls dear college halls,
our love n token gives
That ere we go. We now may know.
What true affection lives
In hearts that swell. while ere they dwell
Upon those student days,
| As on the theme of some sweet dream
Which comes and goes. yet ever stays,
AS on the theme of some sweet dream
Which comes and goes. yet ever stays.
