Fernando (Cal.) College
By H. G. Lucas
THE first school term of eighteen weeks will have passed before this is printed. We feel very grateful for God's guiding hand over our work thus far. We have had numerous evidences that God approves the work being done at this school. The angels love to linger where God's Word is being studied, and where characters are being developed to stand the fiery tests of the last days. What a noble army this denomination would have if every young man and young woman among us were attending our schools, preparing for some definite work in God's cause! “Our present enrolment is one hundred and twenty-seven, ninety-four of whom are above the seventh grade. Each student has a mind to study, and good results are being obtained intellectually. A willing spirit to work is also manifest. Hand in hand with the intellectual and physical phases of school work has been clasped the spiritual, that phase so universally neglected in education, yet so important and necessary in a Seventh-day Adventist school. We feel that God has set his seal to our other work by sending us spiritual blessings. The week of prayer was a spiritual feast to us, which began before and continued after the appointed time. There was a genuine seeking of God on the part of the young people, one evening between thirty and forty remaining after the general meeting to seek the Lord, all finding him precious to their souls. It was a most wonderful season. I had never before witnessed such a remarkable moving of the Spirit of God upon the hearts of young people, and all we could say as we saw an increase of blessing night after night, was, “Behold, what God hath wrought.”
