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.

) 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
