SPIRITUAL EMPHASIS WEEK The annual Spiritual Emphasis Week was held March 21 through 26, with sermons in Wickham Chapel twice daily by the Rev. Ernest N. Hart, pastor of the Central Presbyterian Church of Owensboro, Kentucky. Mr. Hart is the first former student of Pikeville College ever to return as Spiritual Emphasis Week speaker. An advanced student and counselor of boys at Pikeville College in 1916-17, Mr. Hart came to Kentucky from Canada where he had been a missionary to the Indians. He is a native of England. Mr. Hart ' s sermons made a very deep impression, and the response was wonderful — sixty-eight students made a first profession of faith and sev- enty-one others rededicated themselves to the service of the Master. Each of the sermons was a definite and carefully prepared step in a series pre- senting the need for seeing God face to face and the results of such a vi- sion — a sense of sin, confession, cleansing, and service. Mr. Hart did not present the Christian life as an easy-going thing, but challenged young people to make sacrifices and to give their best. The response showed that he was not mistaken in making such an appeal to youth. Perhaps the outstanding sermon of the series was on Thursday night, the last of the night sermons, when he dramatized the story of Barabbas, and made a most searching appeal for accepting the Cross of Christ. The last service of the series was on Friday morning at the regular chapel time, when he bluntly put the question What will YOU do with Jesus? That service is described in the words of President Page: I never in my life had such wonderful experiences as on that morning. Young men and women in the college whom we had been praying for came forward and then went to work with their classmates, and as a result we had one of the most glorious occasions ever known in Pikeville College.
