doubly prepared to meet her Lord, because she rested in Him for her salvation, and because she had neglected no opportunity for serving Him here. Those who were with her just before her death testified that she faced the going with no fear, but with a Sort of joyous anticipation. A Memorial Service was held for Miss Eitzen, where representatives of students and faculty had opportunity to speak of the influence she had left on their lives and the life of the school. Many spoke of her radiant smile, her constantly even dis position, and unruffled spirit, which spoke eloquently of an abiding Presence within. Her influence was especially felt in the Glee Club. She was director of the club, in the absence of Mr. Tovey, and was a member of the club quartette. Her greatest contribution was to the, spiritual life of the club. In the prayer service before each practice and before each public appear ance of the club, the depth and truth of her devotional life was felt. Those who were associated with her in this work will never forget her untiring zeal, her pa tience in trying circumstances, her unfail ing love to all the girls, and supremely her glowing devotion to Christ. Although she is gone, her influence abides, in lives drawn closer to her Mas ter, because her life was wholly His.
His word throughout the great realm of the universe. They likewise render praise and worship to God. Thus ends the study of the quarter which is just past. Next quarter the les sons will be based upon events and per sons connected with the exile and the restoration. Called Home Miss Marie C. Eitzen, president of the Women’s Glee Club of the Bible Institute, and an untiring worker in student activi ties, finished her course here on February 12, after an illness of only three days, and entered the presence of the Lord whom she served. The testimony of her life, and of her death, inspired the writing of the song which appears on this page entitled, “We Yield Our Will to Thee” by Mr. Herbert G. Tovey, director of the Glee Club. Only 27 at the time of her death, Miss Eitzen left an abiding testimony upon hundreds with whom she came in contact and particularly on those who had come to know her as a fellow student. She had planned to become a missionary to India. But her frequent statement, “If I cannot go to the foreign field, I can be a mission ary here,” was true of her life. She was

the profound conviction that it was the Law of Moses which was found and not a spurious code which had been drawn up for the purpose of deceiving the young king. The Word of God always produces fruit in the life of the one who-accepts it at its face value. Thus the great refor mation was begun. In lesson six the ministry of Jeremiah was studied. Jeremiah is called the weep ing prophet. No prophet in all the history of Israel suffered and received so many rebuffs as this faithful man of God. He had to stem the tide and could not go in the way of least resistance. His conscience would not allow his doing that. He was persecuted largely by false prophets and court officials, among whom was the king, though at times he won the royal favor for a short, period of time. Amid all the opposition he remained faithful and true to God, speaking the very messages which God gave him. In the eighth lesson of the quarter the new covenant was studied. This covenant is to be different from that made with Is rael at Sinai. The Sinaitic covenant was engraven in stones whereas the new cov enant is to be written upon the heart. The promise of the new covenant was an affirmation that the old one would be superseded by this new one. The writer of Hebrews in chapter 8 applies the quota tion from this lesson to the blessings un der the Christian dispensation. Though he makes this application he does not say that Christianity is the fulfillment of the new covenant. This new covenant is to be made with the entire house of Israel and Judah when they are restored to their own land and live as a united kingdom under King Messiah. Lesson 9 was concerning the bitter, try ing experiences which Jeremiah had in his encounters with the false prophets, and the opposition which he had at the hands of the court officials and king. Lesson 10 was a temperance lesson which was based upon the historical nar rative of the Rechabites. They had by their father been charged to live a tem perate, primitive life, free from the evils and vices found in large social centers. They had promised their allegiance to the principles of their father from which they refused under any condition to depart. The world would be far better off if all men were true to principle and would stand for their convictions regardless of circumstances. The last lesson of the quarter was a study of a psalm of praise—Psa. 103. David, the writer, called upon his inner most being to praise and worship God be cause of the fact that God is the One who supplies all of the needs of man daily. He also called upon his heart to worship God because God is what He is. He is the om nipotent, omniscient, omnipresent, loving heavenly Father who cares for and works in behalf of His faithful children. His kihgdom is ruling all, and all of the an gelic hosts are his servants performing
