DEDICATION Dr. Charles R. Smith We dedicate the 1978-79 Grace Theological Seminary yearbook to the ''anti-gap chap.'' He frequently talks about baloney, billy goats and bis- cuits. He once REPORTEDLY dined with a ''chief big-shot angel'' at a local ''steak-joint ' to discuss the merits of infralapsarianism and supraelection- isino When shes is amazed mor ssurprised: SWANEE!!'' is often his only response. Dr. Charles R. Smith — we honor you as a godly scholar who consis- tently walks in the way commanded by Paul the apostle. Preach the Word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage — with great patience and careful instruction. — 2 Timothy 4:2
