DISTINCTIVES

You don’t go through Hyles-Anderson College of the Philippines; Hyles-Anderson College of the Philippines goes through you!  The following make Hylanders distinct:

A Hylander is a consecrated Christian.  He should be a born-again believer who has yielded himself completely to the Lord and to the Lord’s will for his life.

A Hylander is a soul winner.  At Hyles-Anderson College of the Philippines, reaching the lost is first and foremost.  An HACPH student doesn’t simply go soul winning; he is soul-conscious wherever he goes.  He realizes that every individual is a soul for whom Christ died and that every person who is not saved is destined for a Christ-less eternity.  Therefore, an HACPH student understands that it is urgent to win the lost to Christ.

A Hylander has strength of character.  He learns to do right subconsciously by reflex through training of the will and the developing of proper habits.

A Hylander has strength of patriotism.  He is loyal to his country, and he understands that all powers and authorities are ordained of God and deserve his respect and his prayers.

A Hylander has strength of integrity.  He knows what he believes and why he believes what he believes.  He walks uprightly and confidently speaks the truth.  He does not compromise but firmly stands for what is good and right.

A Hylander has the strength of dedication.  He is diligent to the task before him.  He does not leave any task undone.  Determination and perseverance characterize his life.

A Hylander has the beauty of refinement.  A student’s development of culture is Biblical and Christian, not worldly.  He desires to acquire knowledge and to possess refinement in manners, etiquette, and appreciation.

A Hylander has the beauty of appropriateness.  He knows how to speak, dress, and act properly in any and every situation.

A Hylander has the beauty of kindness.  He possesses thoughtfulness and gentleness.  He understands the powerful influence his words can have.  Therefore, he offers no criticism of others, and he is careful about sharing his opinion.

A Hylander has the beauty of love.  He has a genuine love for all people, and he guards his spirit from bitterness.  He spends his life thinking of and living for others.
