TODAY’S BIBLE THOUGHT Seek him that maketh the seven stars and Orion.-—Amos 5:8.— Some astronomers have thought the constellation Orion was the central focus of the universe. One thing is certain, some one made the universe that extends two billion light years in each direction. We will never find this great creator with a telescope, nor yet with a microscope, but all the time he manifests himself within us. We may even hear the still small voice.

Prospective candidates wanting application forms were urged to write or phone Superintendent Jessup at the department's Inj dianapolis headquarters. The forms must be completed and returned not later than April 15. In listing the preliminary requirements, Mr. Jessup emphasized the applicant must be at least 21 years old and not more than 30. The recruit school will open late in June. The applicant is required to be a graduate of an accredited high school, a United States citizen, a resident of Indiana one year immediately prior to application, and must possess an unrestricted Indiana operator's driving license. He must be at least 5 feet 9 inches tall and weigh a minimum of 150 pounds. Taller men must weigh in proportion.

Uni\ersity credit may be given to men successfully completing the
course.
Trooper selections will depend on the applicants own merits, Superintendent Jessup stated. State Police career employees, he said, enjoy security and participate in a pension retirement pro-
gram.
Student Gives Chapel Address "Are our ideals high enough to meet the needs placed upon them.’’ a DePauw senior asked his fellow students at yesterday DePauw worship chapel. The speaker was Larry Holland of Worcester, Mass., who charged that many individuals have a tendency to become wrapped up in petty, inconsequential matters, ignoring the need for life goals. No longer is it possible to be generally against sin, evil, or Communism, he added; we nowmust be for something and recognize the full significance of our beliefs. This means, according to Holland, positive belief in racial, credal and geographic brotherhood, plus to willingness to prachp service to them, tice our beliefs, not merely give Each of us must play our role to the hilt, he commented, regardless of the difficulty in determining the effect of our ideals on the future of the world. “No one is insignificant; each man is the future.” The major crime in any individual’s life, he warned, is not failure but low aim. Holland is the son of Dr. Ralph Holland, former general secretary of the Indiana Council of Jhurches.
