His sanctified life, his ministry, which was so clearly committed to the cause of Scriptural holiness, and his vision of a seminary to prepare men to stand against the tides of unbelief with the message of full and free salvation are a heritage so precious and powerful that through it we can say, ‘He being dead yet speaketh. As a preacher and pulpiteer he was to many of us without equal. As one has said, His preaching embodied the thunders of Sinai, the healing stripes of Calvary, the victory of the empty tomb, the atomic power of Pentecost, and the blessed hope of the return of our Lord. As an editor Dr. Morrison founded The Pentecostal Herald and edited it for fifty-four years. This little holiness weekly and its readers have become a pillar to the life of Asbury. As an educator and administrator Dr. Morrison showed his genius in guiding Asbury College through troublous times and in establishing our Seminary, which now has one of the ten largest student bodies in the American Association of Theological Schools. He founded the Seminary in 1923. As long as Asbury stands firmly for the great message of full salvation, the spirit of that man of God, our founder, Dr. Henry Clay Morrison, will continue to shed light in our world. May God keep us true. q | et ee Oe wa We affectionately dedicate this first volume of the SEMINARIAN to the memory of Mrs. Henry Clay Morrison, who has so recently gone to be with the Lord, and who has meant so much to Asbury Theological Seminary in the years since the passing of her distinguished husband. Even before his leaving us Aunt Bettie, as she was lovingly called by the students and faculty, was more of a vital factor in his great life than many of us realize. Dr. Morrison said that in his impulsive personality she was a strong and stabiliz- ing influence to him. Her life and character was a real complement to his. Many people have observed that there was even a striking likeness in their countenances. Through the pages of The Pentecostal Herald, as associate editor, she became endeared to the hearts of thousands. As treasurer of the Seminary Mrs. Morrison has done a great piece of work in building up the family of donors that provide the scholarships for all full-time seminary students. She has also built up a large fund for the erection of the Morrison memorial build- ings, which are now under construction. The building program was very dear to her heart; she felt she was carrying on the work that God had led her beloved companion to launch. On October 23, 194 5, the groundbreaking ceremony was held. As ‘Aunt Bettie'’ paused for a moment leaning on the shovel handle before turning the first shovelful of dirt she lifted her face heavenward, a silent prayer trembled on her lips, and a tear coursed down her cheeks, as she knew that that for which she had labored and prayed so earnestly was beginning to be realized. Her work was done. Sixteen days later God quietly called her home. aeit wnbelief .. vecanse They 4 pem We ves of . ,0t sper” oxy bay what he tha, ee : thems and contin “4 ath BESS ov ae . ali 4 sue e pat ¥ ) The training of a _ soul-saving, Spirit-filled, true-to-the-Bible ministry is the purpose of Asbury Theological Seminary. Asbury stands for the di- vine inspiration of the whole Bible and upholds the Wesleyan heritage of full salvation from all sin for all men. Asbury is interdenominational and peculiarly cosmopolitan. Stu- dents have come from many different denominations, from nearly every state in the Union and many foreign countries, and from scores of differ- ent colleges and universities. We go out from here to carry the Good News throughout the whole world. God has blessed this school with a growth that is not being paralleled in other seminaries. Student body, faculty, library, and plant are grow- ing very rapidly under the guidance of God's hand. We earnestly desire that every man shall have the priv- ilege of having the whole gospel pre- sented to him. The world is our parish. ( 4 $ i AN ‘ rps eee a cect i, ej isbeen aiene Ean eH cen the command Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel, ' the graduates of Asbury Theological Seminary leave these sacred halls of learning to find a place of service in the Kingdom of God. For over a score of years Asburians have served in all phases of kingdom work, in the pastorate and on the mission field, in colleges and universities, and in places of administration and authority in the church. This influence has been extended until the spirit of Asbury is known in all religious circles. The “Asbury spirit is more than a school loyalty; it is a Christ-centered, Spirit-filled ministry which follows the graduates to their places of service and there becomes a nu- cleus of the same type of spiritual environ- ment and leadership. In many of the larger cities Seminary, along with College graduates, have formed Asbury Clubs with regular meetings to stimulate spiritual and social advance- ment of the local group, and interest in the Alma Mater. At a time when war clouds settled over civilization, when millions of Americans sacrificed their positions and comforts of life to make greater sacrifice if necessary—that of life itself—at this time the sons of Asbury found their places in the service of God and their country. To these men who served as chaplains and officers in all branches of the service and in all theaters of combat, ministering to the needs of their fellow men, and throughout all maintaining a holy allegiance to God by lifting the banner of salvation high wherever they have gone—to these men WE PAY HONOR AND TRIBUTE, To the cause of freedom for which they, as well as millions of Americans, gave their service, Asbury Sem- � k inary pledges its utmost to maintain the principles of true democracy and an unfaltering faith in God and His Word. aay Tibet to the Ali O ASBURY THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY | | JULIAN: Cy McPHEETERS, DDiseriaD: Beet ACR CAD Ei B.D, DD, A WORD ABOUT The yearbook of Asbury Theological Seminary is another advance step in the progress which the Seminary is making. The new day of an enlarged program to which the Seminary has come rests upon the foundations laid by those who are associated with the Seminary in_ its early history. Next to the name of Dr. H. C. Morrison in the founding and on-going of the Seminary, there ranks the name of our highly honored, loved, and respected Dean, Dr. Fred H. Lara- bee. He lives in the lives of our present student body and hundreds of our alumni, as a prince among educators. He has been a_ teacher, friend, counsellor, and spiritual father to the students. The splendid results which have accrued as a result of the faith, prayers, and sacrifices of those who toiled in the yesterdays in behalf of Asbury Theological Seminary, encourage us to look and labor for larger things in the to- morrows. Our goal is ever to maintain the very highest in both intellectual and spiritual stand- ards. We do not. believe that these standards SEMINARY are incompatible, but that they should be linked in an inseparable bond of unity. A school of missions and a school of evan- gelism are being planned for the future. The school of missions will be not only for the training of out-going missionaries, but will offer special courses for returned missionaries while on furlough. In connection with the school of mis- sions, we should have a group of cottages as homes for missionaries during their furloughs. In the school of evangelism, we propose to greatly enlarge our present training program in evangelism. In this school short courses would also be offered for the laity who are able to get away from their work for only a short time. This school of evangelism would be a practical clinic for training both the ministry and the laity in the holy art of soul winning. Our present task, which we have already be- gun, is the construction of not less than four new buildings. If our friends continue to co- operate with us during the next few years as they have’ within recent years, all of these goals will surely be realized. = JaceeMcPrneetets. ee FRANK PAUL MORRIS B:DanD:D- Professor of Doctrine -sonnsnnspsoonenannnaoonsanaaeehaoi. sah PAGE am JOHN HAYWOOD PAUL D.D.

The men and women of the Asbury Theologi- cal Seminary faculty are careful scholars, but they are more than scholars. They feel that every student that enters the ministry from Asbury must be prepared in his heart as well as in his mind. They encourage and help stu- dents to a right relationship to God. Each student, they feel, must have a balanced equip- ment of spiritual and intellectual power. Our faculty is determined that our scho- lastic standards shall not fall short of those of any other divinity school. This year the choice of taking a comprehensive examination or of writing a thesis has been added to the requirements for graduation. In order to meet the needs of the higher standards the library is being built up rapidly with the best in the- ological and related literature. The faculty it- self is being expanded each year. The admin- istration is now grooming bright young men to S.T.M., Ph.D. S.T.M. GEORGE ALLEN TURNER Professor of Church History | serve on the faculty in the immediate future. One of these men, Claude H. Thompson, em- ployed to ‘serve, will have a leave of absence to study in Oxford University this coming year. Our professors travel from coast to coast to fill speaking engagements in schools, churches, camp meetings, and conferences. They also contribute regularly to religious periodicals, both learned and popular. This year a scholarly quar- terly, The Asbury Seminarian, with Dr. H. B. Kuhn as editor, has been added to our own publications. These men come from a variety of -back- grounds. Some are new to Asbury Seminary, but others have been with her from the first. We want especially to pay tribute to Dean F. H. Larabee and Dr. Frank P. Morris as pioneers who have carried forward the vision of a well-trained spirit-filled ministry going out from this center.

Such schools as the following are represented among the places in which they have pursued gradu- ate studies: Harvard, Drew, University of Kentucky, University of Southern California, Princeton, Biblical Seminary in New York, New York University. Second only to the faculty in importance for the scholastic preparation of a student body is the library. Our Seminary library is probably the most rapidly growing part of the whole institution. We now have more than 15,000 volumes on hand: this is an increase of 300% in less than three years. Many others are on order. Bound volumes of back periodicals are being secured. Those important. ones not available will be secured in micro film. The new library building, now under construction, will have a capacity of 50,000 volumes. It will be well-equipped with modern facilities such as carrels in the stacks, audio-visual aids, and typewriter and conference rooms. Two new full-time librarians have been added to the staff this year, and a third will be added very soon. Next year the staff will offer a course in the use of the library, bibliography, and the building of a personal library. } acully B.

D Due to the rapid growth of Asbury Theological Seminary our present facilities have become inade- quate . The administration has planned to erect not less than four new buildings, the three buildings of the Morrison quadrangle, including the administration building, a library, and a chapel, and also the ‘Aunt Bettie'’ Morrison Hall as an apartment building for married students. The new Morrison Memorial Ad- ministration Building is now under construction and will be completed the early part of 1947. The archi- tect and engineer say that this will be one of the most modern school buildings in the state of Ken- tucky. Construction has also begun on the library and the apartment building. The library will have a capacity of 50,000 volumes with room for future expansion. The apartment building will have thirty units, each containing a living room, bedroom, kitch- enette, and bath, with up-to-date furnishings. Artist's Sketch of Morrison Memorial Quadrangle. N Mark 6: And they went out and preached . . Each weekend many of our students are engaged in some type of Christian service; some have regular pastorates. The charges are near and far, in Kentucky, Tennessee, Ohio, and Indiana. Others organize in groups to go out to missions and house-to-house visitation in towns and villages surrounding Wilmore. This type of work is more than training; it becomes actual Kingdom work among the underprivileged and neg- lected people. The missions and chapels are organized and supervised as churches, having the Christian Service Brotherhood as a means of financing, and of maintaining pastors and workers. The vision of Asbury extends beyond the formal church service. It finds opportunity for service in regular jail and reformatory services. Here many prodigals have found their way to a conversion experience and a new grip on life. Hospital and sanatorium visitation work affords a still greater open door; this work is greatly appreciated by the sick. During warmer months of the year street meetings are held in the larger towns, this gives the Gospel to those who seldom take time to attend church. €2 The Seminary Singers THE VICTORY FOUR EVANGEL Ernest, Edwin, Elmer Kilbourne, and Paul Abel G. Dillon, A. Carter, CHARLES BOSS | QUARTET F. Shoemaker, P. Ashcraft i During the past five years the Music Depart- ment of Asbury Seminary has grown tremen- dously. The Department has a number of out- standing groups, the largest of which is the “Seminary Singers. This organization is composed of thirty-three male voices selected from the student body of the Seminary. They sponsor an annual concert tour each spring. This year their tour of ap- proximately 1,600 miles carried the Gospel in sacred concert to several thousand people. Their programs consist in a rendition of classical numbers, great hymns, and negro spirituals. The “Hallelujah Chorus’ from Handel's ''Messiah'' is a traditional feature of the ''Singers.'' They were directed by Miss Ada B. Carroll and ac- O worship the King all-glorious above, And gratefully sing His wonderful love; Our Shield and Defender, the Ancient of Days, Pavilioned in splendor, and girded with praise. x THE KING'S MEN B. Arstutz, E. Neuenschwander, G. Price, P. Amstutz companied at the piano by Albert Nunery with Charles Boss as organist. At present three quartets are in the field each week end and frequently find it convenient to conduct ten-day revivals. These Christian young men are making a valuable contribution to the spiritual uplift of the churches everywhere they go. It would be difficult to estimate the large number of young people who have come to know Jesus Christ as their personal Saviour or have been gloriously sanctified through the ef- forts of these various groups. We are deeply grateful to Miss Carroll, head of our Music Department, for the excellent type of work which she is doing in promoting a well- trained ministry in music. B.Mus. ADA B. CARROLL Professor of Music and Speech ANNUAL MINSTER CONFERENCE The Annual Ministers’ Conference may be considered a part of the growing service of Asbury, having been instituted only last year. Its purpose is ''to emphasize the content of the Christian message and the deepening of the spiritual life, to face fearlessly the religious and theological problems of our day.’ The chief speakers this year were Bishop Charles C. Selec- man, who delivered the Lizzie H. Glide Lec- tures on the theme: ‘Early Methodist Evan- gelism, ' and Dr. Paul S. Rees, who gave a series of lectures on ''Our Wesleyan Heritage After Two Centuries.’ Other speakers were Dr. How- ard Whitaker, Dr. O. H. Callis, Dr. B. Joseph Martin, Dr, W. C. Mavis, Dr. James F. Bough- DR. PAUL S. REES Pastor First Covenant Church Minneapolis BISHOP CHARLES C. SELECMAN Dallas Area of the Methodist Church ton, Dr. Kenneth P. Wesche, and Rev. J. T. Seamands. The outside attendance at the conference this year was an increase of approximately fifty percent over last year. The conference prom- ises to be a growing contribution to the Semi- nary and a time of vigorous intellectual and spiritual stimulation to hundreds of pastors and evangelists in this section of our nation. In both of the conferences held to date there has gone out a great challenge to spiritual industry and consecration. For next year Bishop Edwin Holt Hughes has been chosen as the Glide lecturer, and Dr. Robert P. ''Bob'' Shuler has been chosen as the other chief speaker. ill One of the features of Asbury Seminary that makes our school life so rich is the wholesome atmosphere which pervades its campus. This is not true just because it is Asbury, but because Christ has been crowned King of Kings and Lord of Lords in the lives of these young men and women. Whether at the prayer meeting, at an evening of social entertainment, or in the classroom, all are bound together in genuine Christian fellowship, Community of interests, singleness of purpose, firmness of ethics, and nobility of ideals bind our hearts together into a large Christian family, all dedicated to the performance of God's will. We help each other if there be a spiritual need; we share our experiences; we exchange ideas on various phases of our business of winning souls and of disseminating eternal verities. The fellowship and friendship that we have here will prove precious and valuable down through the years of the future. We expect to find Asburians spreading thé Gospel wher- ever we go throughout the world. To para- phrase the words of Paul, We shall give thanks to God upon remembrance of one another and pray in behalf of each other for the fellowship in the furtherance of the Gos- pel, giving thanks continually through Jesus Christ for each other. Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. ADMIN TOT RAT OLOT ANI @ CARL F. ASHE—Assistant to the president. @ J. H.

After two years of graduate work at Garrett Biblical Institute, he took a pastorate for six months and then came to Asbury Seminary in January, 1946. | felt the power of His redeeming grace sweep over my soul and was enabled to say, ‘Once | was blind, but now | see.’ Men's hearts are yearning for this Saviour and it is because we are able to say with Peter, 'we cannot but speak the things we have seen and heard,’ that we profess to be ministers of that Name which is above every name. panies DAVID LAUGHLIN MOE David, a son of a missionary, was born in China. He received his early education in China, his high school in Wilmore, Kentucky, and received his B.S. in electrical engineering from John Brown University in Arkansas. He was an engineer at Vultee Aircraft, Downey, Califor- nia until the war. He served in the U.S. M. C. R. for one year before entering Seminary. The guiding hand of Asbury has pointed the way to full salvation and has assisted me in preparation in the service of my King. | thank God that he has called me to proclaim the gospel of Christ, ‘for it is the power of God unto salvation unto everyone that be- lieveth.' ' CHARLES ALBERT NUNERY Charles was converted February, 1938, and received his call to preach two years later. His home pastor influenced him to come louAsbury. “Ont August 22,9 1942. He married Grace Murrill. During his senior year in college and his three years in Seminary, Albert has been pastor of the New Columbus Methodist Church in the Ken- tucky Conference. “| was reared in a Christian environment but there came a time in my life when | realized that a good moral life would not substitute for a Christian experience. | am happy today that | know Christ as my personal Saviour and Sanctifier. Since my conversion He has called me to preach His Word to which | expect to devote the rest of my life. CLARENCE OWSLEY, JR. Clarence was born in Grain Valley, Missouri and was converted shortly after graduating from high school. After three years of stu- dent pastoring and completing his college work at Adams State Teacher's College in Colorado in 1943, he was ready for Seminary. A Methodist minister's wife influenced him to come to Asbury. Here he received the baptism of the Holy Spirit. Holiness was something new to me when | came to Asbury, but thank God, | was green and knew it and | did want a deeper love for Jesus and a passion for souls. Holy Ghost conviction fell on me: | sought and obtained the blessing that has proved to be the most precious thing | own.'' adnates OLIVER BENJAMIN THOMAS Oliver was born in 1919 in Kentucky. He attended Asbury College one year and graduated from Georgia Teachers College. He served as pastor during his college and seminary career. He married Jose- phine Wampler in 1945. Oliver was chaplain and president of the Seminary Singers during his junior and senior years. He is now serving the McKendree Church in the Kentucky Conference. 1 marvel at the amazing grace of God that has transformed my entire life and even more—that He chose me to be His ambassador of the gospel. My supreme ambition in life is not success but souls; not great cathedrals, but a great Christ to give to a heart-sick world.” PERCIL JAMES STRATTON Percy was born in 1921 in New York. He was saved at the age of 13, sanctified while a senior in high school, and soon after received his call to preach. He graduated from Houghton College in 1944. Percy has been a faithful worker in the Seminary Christian Service Brotherhood's field work. “'Eor | am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ; for it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believeth;’ Rom. 1:16. | thank God | have the privilege of preaching such a gospel. EARL WAYNE SHARP Earl, a P. K., was born in Berne, Indiana. He was converted at the age of eight and sanctified at the age of fourteen. He received his A.B. degree from Manchester College. Earl was a school teacher for one year before coming to Seminary. In June he expects to enter the pastorate of the Methodist Church. I have felt very definitely the guiding hand of God over my life in coming to Asbury Seminary and | thank God for a fundamental Seminary that has strengthened my faith and given me a burning mes- sage. | am looking forward to service for the Master as a Spirit- filled minister of the gospel. pelea tes JOSEPH KEMP TUNIS Mr. Tunis was born in 1906 in Baltimore, Maryland. He married Celestia Fuller in 1934. He received his B.S. degree from Western Carolina Teachers College in 1934 and taught school for six years after graduating. Completing his Seminary work-in the fall quarter, he entered the Louisiana Methodist Conference. My heart sought sanctification, but refused to lay aside all the weight of sin. Then came September l0th, !945, when | could no longer carry the weight and serve Jesus. | promised Him | would leave my weight if He'd sanctify my heart. | left my weight. He became my Sanctifier. PAUL EDWARD WARTENBE Paul was born August 30, 1901, the son of godly parents. His previous schooling included graduation from Asbury College and a master's degree in theology from Marion College. He took graduate study in political science and law at the University of Missouri and George Washington University. Paul is a veteran of World War Il. | was saved at the age of 15, under Paul Rader in St. Louis. Later at Asbury College, | was reclaimed and | felt a quiet, sweet peace slip into my soul. To date, | am conscious of His abiding presence. God's intention for my life is now my intention.’ MARJORIE ROSE JOHNSON | Marj was born on a farm in Winnebago, Nebraska. She received her B.A. degree cum laude from Wayne State Teachers College in 1942. For one year she was a teacher of mathematics in a high school in lowa. During the summer months she has been dean of girls at Crystal Lake Bible Conference in Nebraska. Years | spent in ‘vanity and pride’ trying to satisfy my selfish desires, until—one day, | longed for Jesus and His love. He saved me and gave my life new meaning. | am praising God for the abiding presence of the Holy Spirit and the deep joy and peace within my heart. A charge to keep | have, A God to glorify, A never-dying soul to save, And fit it for the sky. raduates CHARLES L. BLANCHARD Charles came from Chautauqua County, New York. He taught in a country school one year in New York. He graduated from Asbury College in 1926 and attended Seminary in 1927-28. Since September, 1928. he has been a mountain missionary teacher in Zion's Hill Mission. “The Lord found me as a lad of 19 years of age, a stranger 10 grace without knowledge that one could ever know he is saved. The following summer (1922) | found light on holiness when three Asbury boys held a tent meeting at Ashville, New York. Since | have trusted, His grace has been sufficient.’ FRANKLIN DAVIS BORLAND, JR. Pete came from Bob Jones College to Asbury College where he received the A.B. degree in 1943. He was a member of one of our finest quartets and is well known for his singing of the gospel. Dur- ing the past year he has been a member of the Ohio Methodist Con- ference. Pete plans to enter the field of evangelistic song leading. For a practical workable Gospel that presents a Christ who is able to unquestionably solve the perplexities and problems of this troubled life | am most thankful. For the reality of Christ in the hearts and lives of men everywhere, offering positive proof that ‘He Lives,’ | am deeply grateful.’ Not pictured: VIRGINIA HULME To serve the present age, My calling to fulfill; O may it all my powers engage To do my Master's will!

CHURCH DR. LEONARD COCHRAN . CALLIS Twice a week, Wednesday and Friday, eight o'clock in the morning finds seminarians assembled for chapel. This is on alternate days from those of the college chapel, which meets three days a week. Our chapel services are perhaps the most unifying feature of seminary lite. Here we sing and pray and testify and listen together to the preaching of the Word. These times prove to be edifying and spiritually uplifting. A few of those who have spoken at chapel are pictured here. Dr. Cochran preached the winter revival services at the. Wilmore Metho- dist Church for which the Seminary dismissed its chapel. Dr. J. L. Brasher c onducted a special series of meetings in our chapel for one week. We deeply appreciate his clear and thorough preaching of the doctrine of entire sanctification. Rev. Tomlin is the local Methodist pastor; Dr. Church is a nationally known evangelist; Dr. Callis is assist- ant to the president of Asbury College. In addition to pastors and evangelists, missionaries often come to us as chapel speakers. Lal In various places down through history a true spirituality and a strong intellect have been held to be incompatible. Others have held the two separate in practice though perhaps not in theory. The intellectual man has too often been dead spiritually, the spiritually-interested man too often intellectually weak. As- bury Theological Seminary believes in and carries out a strong program based on the idea that deep and proper piety and the highest intellectual standard are not only capable of being harmonized but must be made inseparable in order to produce a balanced and effective Christian personality. Study and prayer go hand in hand. Let us now unite those two that have been so long divided — knowledge and vital piety.” —John Wesley. Above: A class in New Testament.

The types of work are: jail, reformatory, sanitorium, barroom, mission, and street services, and visitation in hospitals and the homes of slum districts. The cabinet, pictured above: Lillian Bloomster, secretary; Clarence Hunter, vice-president; Dr. Wesche, faculty representative; Eldon Fuhrman, _presi- dent; David Budensiek, field secretary; Donald Rogers, treasurer, 58 | HP Because of a desire, on the part of many of the students, to learn how better to appreciate classical music and composers, this group was formed this year. About the time of organiza- tion the club received a real boost in the acqui- sition of several hundred high-quality records by the Seminary. Vance Comer is the able presi- dent, under whose leadership there have been many informative and pleasant programs. PME OEMINARIAN SeliaA hy iF OR Er 4a} This year's staff takes pleasure in introducing this first edition of THE SEMINARIAN. We have en- deavored to produce a book that will be valuable in the public relations of the school and that will bring back pleasant memories of ‘this year to the stu- Eee EER dents. We have purposed to give a cross section of the work that is being done at this center for the upbuilding of the Kingdom of God. May His name be gloritied through these pages. Although the work entailed has on many occasions subtracted from our acquaintance with a bed and added to the number of wrinkles and gray hairs al- ready brought on by much collateral, yet we can say that we have had much enjoyment from it. And it gives us pleasure to be able to present this first edi- tion of our Seminary yearbook to the students, faculty, and friends of Asbury Theological Seminary. Pictured below: David Ostrander, photographer, fall quarter; Margaret Brabon, class editor; Paul Pixler, editor; Donald Irwin, business manager; Emery Wal- lace, staff secretary. DON IRWIN Business Manager The bi-annual Seminary 'retreat'' has become one of the outstanding events of the school. Once every fall and once every spring a group from the student body, 25 to 30 in number, retreat to a remote and secluded spot on the banks of the Kentucky River for a Christian Fellowship Ad- vance. Here, from Friday afternoon to Monday morning the time is used for deepening of the spiritual life. The highlights of this time are the breakdown session when each student unburdens his spiritual needs, and the truth meeting’ when each one is criticized and discussed by the group upon such personal points as should be remedied in a minister of Jesus Christ. The rest of the time is used in chores about the camp, cooking, washing dishes, recrea- tional activities, and in highly inspirational religious services and prayer meetings. At each retreat there are definite victories won as spiritual needs are met by the sanctifying grace of Jesus Christ and the power of the Holy Spirit. MUO BANI We married fellows don't mind in the least all the slighting remarks the bachelors say about us, such as having such a tough time with our mothers-in-law, how the baby keeps us up at night, and the studying time our wives consume by insisting that we mop the floor, etc. We wouldn't exchange our lot for theirs for any- thing. Think of the hardships the poor single fellow has to endure! No home cooking, a noisy dorm in which to do one's studying, and girl- friend troubles all the time. True, there are more responsibilities, but is there anything any better than responsibility to bring out the best in a man? ‘They twain shall be one flesh.’ That's just the way we like it. BAGHELU Marriage is a wonderful institution,’ so they say, but who wants to live in an institution? Futhermore, who wants to be tied down with the heavy cares of life at such a tender age as most of us bachelors are? Of course, there are times when we look with envy upon our married brothers—they do not have to worry about which girl to take to the next artist series, nor do they experience the sinking feeling we get when the florist states his exorbitant price; neither do they have to put up with nightly escapades of a bunch of noisy, irresponsible young swains. Just the same it's a great life if you don't weaken —but we do expect to weaken—when the right girl comes along! WWE AMI The purpose of the Asbury institu- tions being that of developing the best and highest type of spirituality and per- sonality extends into the social and cul- tural life. The Asbury artist series has again brought some fine musical con- certs to enrich and to cultivate a higher appreciation for the fine arts. The fac- ulty and student body of Asbury also provide a variety of recitals, plays and special programs. Whether it is a Sat- urday night grill party or a formal artist series program, the social life at Asbury weaves itself into a memory of pleasure and delight that is long remembered as a part of campus life. Pictured on the opposite page are the ‘'Southernaires, who appeared on this year's artist series, and a representative scene from ''The Rivals,'' a play presented by the college junior class.

' The Seminary recognizes that along with the emphasis on the spiritual and the academic there is also a vital need of building strong physical bodies. An endeavor to do this is made through a well-defined pro- gram of intramural athletics, consisting of teams from the college and Seminary. As athletic director this year Kenneth Harper guided the Seminary in the friendly skirmishes. Softball and basketball may be properly called the major sports at Asbury. The Seminary enters two teams in each of these sports. One of these teams is taken from the junior class, the other from the middler and senior classes. The Junior Eagles soared high this vear in capturing second place in the campus basketball tournament. The highlight of the basketball season, however, came when the college all-stars edged out the Seminary all-stars in a thrilling and exciting game by the score of 45-42, before a packed gym. Although the Seminary was nosed out of first place in basketball, it proudly displays its leader, Kenneth Harper, who was crowned campus ping pong champ. For those who do not participate in these sports, Asbury offers a variety of other athletic contests, such as volley ball, tennis and track, thus endeavoring to make it possible for all to take part. TENT) WAVES Uh This year's organization has been more active than its predecessors. The club honored the protessors wives at a Valentine tea, and in March had a formal banquet at Beaumont Inn. Topping the list of activities has been the ''Give tt and Receive’ prayer meeting instituted by Mrs. B. J. Martin, club sponsor. | I Another musical organization has joined our campus. This club is composed of students’ wives and women students of the Seminary. Under the able leadership of Miss Ada B. Car- roll, the Seminary Women's Glee Club has done a profitable year's work. Its outstanding appear- ance was a sacred concert at the Ministers’ Conference. WKY AO0d Lad VAN (1) You name it! (2) Planning our new building. (3) Pardon me for being facetious. (4) Familiar scene.
