Another Jubilee Song

By F. G.

It does us all great good to hear the echoes of the jubilee songs that are being sung by our schools from time to time throughout the land. Another song was sung Thursday, the twelfth of August, on the camp-ground at South Hollywood, Cal. It was on the occasion of the freedom from debt of Fernando Academy.

We are sure that the program will be of interest. It was as follows:—

Our Legacy

The second tithe for the support of our teachers.

Let all be faithful in the payment of the second tithe for the education of our children.

We look forward to the time when all our schools may be able unitedly to take part in one grand jubilee chorus, and we must steadily work to this end, never forgetting that from them there is to come forth year by year a mighty army qualified for vigilant service in the cause of truth, and that freedom from debt will enable these schools to render much better help in the training of these young men and women for Christian warfare.
