. 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.
