AN EXPRESSION FROM THE SCHOOL.
By S. M. S.
We were glad to find in the last Review the note of news from Bro. and Sr. White, stating their near approach to their place of destination. There is ever a vague loneliness in the suspense, when friends launch out on a long journey, and we anxiously wait to hear the echo of news from the destined port. More than a vague—a decided, sense of loneliness and loss seemed felt in Battle Creek, as this California company took their leave. No doubt each of the institutions here feels sensibly the loss of those who have so earnestly labored for their welfare; but we were more particularly thinking of the school, where we have especial reason to appreciate the interest of Bro. and Sr. White in our behalf. Though their multiplied cares and duties rarely permitted them to visit our school, yet I trust all of us realize their great solicitude for our continued prosperity. We shall ever cherish in memory their Christian counsel as they met with us the day before their departure. May the very appropriate words of Bro. White be carefully stored in each student's mind that they may aid him in the noble pursuit of knowledge. And likewise let us all treasure up the faithful counsel of Sr. White, urging us to look to Jesus Christ as the great Educator in all that is wise and good. Let us keep continually in mind this precious truth, that to connect with Heaven is to open the channel to an inexhaustible storehouse of every needed help and blessing. Especially is this the way for the student, who should seek to cultivate the mind and heart, not only to prepare for the duties of this life, but for the glories of the immortal state. We will ever cherish those parting words, and hope still for the continued sympathy and prayers of the true friends of our school.
