WHY NOT COME THIS YEAR?
By C. L. Taylor
HEALDSBURG COLLEGE, with which many of the SIGNS readers are acquainted, begins with this date its nineteenth year's work. Last year the attendance and general character of work done were most encouraging, and to-day the college occupies a larger place in the hearts of its patrons than at any time perhaps in the history of the institution. Great things are expected from the experiences of the current school year by those in charge. It is the purpose, therefore, to hold the standard high, higher if possible than ever before, that in every department only right principles may obtain. Success can be had only by following strictly the plans which God has marked out. The work of revival, it is hoped, will begin with the first week, thus anticipating the work of the enemy. The college faculty are united in the thought that each and every student must be the subject of faithful prayer and earnest, persevering effort, and when converted, to be enlisted in active labor for those around him. This is an important time for the young, and the writer asks every one who needs an education in the truths of God to consider whether this may not be the time when he or she should enter the college and enjoy its benefits. If you can not see an open door, let the college know, and everything possible will be done to help you. Plan to come, plan by faith, and God will help you in your extremity. Send for calendar; write the president concerning your situation, and you may find that, even tho late in applying, you may be with us in the work of this year. Address your communication to Prof. M. E. Cady, Healdsburg, Cal. Hoping that the college may yet hear from many as suggested, I am yours in the work,
