) 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

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
