1920 Cedrus Yearbook

1920 REFORMED PRESBYTERIAN SEMINARY RCP) HE Theological Seminary opened on September 10, 1919, with twenty-three students in attendance. They were all in good spirits after their summer's vacation and came back with a determination to make this the best year ever known to the Seminary, and true they did. Soon after coming back there was a desire for more co-operation and the students all met one evening and elected officers for the Student Seminary Organization. We agreed to meet every Thursday evening to study problems that might come before us after getting out into life's service, and also to study the Bible. The meetings were very inter- esting and everyone felt that he was well repaid for coming to these meetings. We also thought it would be well to go out and hold prayer meetings at homes where the occupants did not or could not come to church. The boys divided into two groups and thus we would visit two homes on the same evening. The people always welcomed us into their homes and we tried to bring them closer to "Him that sticketh closer than a brother". Whether we did that or not is yet to be seen, but we do know that we each one were brought closer to each other and closer to God. These meetings we feel have helped us just about as much as the lessons which we recite in the daytime and as we will soon part for the summer's vacation we trust that all the students will come back at the opening of the Seminary in the Fall with new ideals and thoughts so that we may have another year of successful work.
