Bee Sar R. G. WELLS Ak INDELIBLE IMPRINT HAS BEEN LEFT UPON THE LIFE OF EACH ASBURY SEMINARIAN BY THE STERLING CHRISTIAN CHARACTER OF BOTH DR. AND MRS. MORRIS. DR. MORRIS HAS BEEN AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE SEMINARY FROM THE DAY OF ITS BIRTH IN 1923. MRS. MORRIS BECAME AN ALUMNA IN 1931 AND SINCE HAS GIVEN HERSELF IN UNTIRING SERVICE AS PROFESSOR OF OLD TESTAMENT. TO THESE BELOVED PROFESSORS WHOSE HUMBLE LIVES HAVE BEEN INSPIRING EXAMPLES OF LOYALTY AND DEVOTION TO CHRIST, WHOSE GRAND SENSE OF HUMOR AND SHEER LOVE OF HUMANITY HAVE MADE IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR ANY- ONE EVER TO FORGET THEM, WE RESPECTFULLY DEDICATE THE NINETEEN FOR- TY-EIGHT SEMINARIAN WITH THE HOPE THAT THEY WILL CARRY ASBURY THEO- LOGICAL SEMINARY IN THEIR HEARTS AS WE CARRY THEM IN OURS. FAITH F UL S$ E R VEC EF... RTE EE SOS EY TO PRESIDENT MCPHEETERS Dr. Julian C. McPheeters has proved himself to be a worthy successor to the founder and only previous President of Asbury Theological Seminary, Dr. H. C. Morrison. He, himself, has become a guiding spirit in the movement as he directs the tremendous expansion pro- gram of the Seminary. One of Dr. McPheeters' chief characteristics is the boundless energy with which he at- tacks the many problems that rest upon his shoulders. The intellectual and physical stam- ina required by his extensive range of activities and broad interests mark him as an excep- tional leader. Not only does he dispatch his duties as President of the Seminary with alac- rity, but, in addition, he pastors the Glide Memorial Methodist Church of San Francisco, is “Reothodtoa of the Glide Foundation, edits the PENTECOSTAL HERALD, end some- where finds time to be an author and radio mnister. Under his administration, Asbury Theo!ogical Seminary has raised her academic stand- ards until today she is a fully accredited member of the American Association of Theolog- ical Schools, and is approved by the University Senate of the Methodist Church. Yet the deeply spiritual emphasis is still as strong as ever. We pay tribute to this Christian leader, gentleman, scholar and understanding friend. ADMINISTRA. DEAN AND ACTING VICE-PRESIDENT WILLIAM D. TURKINGTON, M.A., B.D., D.D. | A heavy responsibility rests upon the shoulders of the Dean and Acting Vice-President in that Presi- dent McPheeters, pastor of the Glide Memorial Methodist Church of San Francisco, cannot be resi- dent at the Seminary. In addition to his regular duties as Dean, Dr. Turkington has been largely re- sponsible for the local administration of many other ohases of the Seminary. Yet preoccupation with these manifold tasks has not prevented the genial Dean from manitesting a keen and sympathetic interest in students and colleagues alike. His clear- sighted wisdom and understanding, inspiring exam- ple and high standards, plus a refreshing sense of humor have gained for him the respect and love of both the students and faculty. THE JOHN WESLEY SEMINARY FOUNDATION This year marked a new step in the expansion program of the Seminary. The affiliation of the John Wesley Seminary Foundation of the Free Meth- odist Church is another significant means for a greater sphere of both serv- ice and intluence. Under the terms of this affiliation, the Foundation grants a scholarship to each graduate ministerial student of the Free Methodist Church. Guided by the capable administration of Dr. W. C. Mavis, Dean of the John Wesley Seminary Foundation, this cooperative plan has proved to be highly successful. Right: W. C.

During that year special courses in theology and Bible other than those oftered in the college of liberal arts ap- peared on the curriculum. Early in 1923 several of the teachers who had been training ministerial stu- dents for many years met with Dr. Morrison to dis- cuss the results of their labors. With dismay this group noted how many promising Asburians en- tered other schools after graduation from Asbury College and returned from their seminary training with little or none of the dynamic impetus and pas- .. AFTER Picture at Left: DR. AND MRS. H. C. MORRISON Dr. Morrison, the founder and only president of Asbury Theological Seminary up to the time of his death, March 24, 1942, was the guiding spirit of the entire movement. Until her death on November 8, 1945, ‘Aunt Bettie heroically carried her husband's vision forward. sion for the redemption of the lost which had char- acterized their ambitions as undergraduate aspi- rants toward the ministry. Asbury Theological Sem- inary grew out of this discussion, and Morrison Hall was erected in 1923 on the College campus to meet the growing need for a Seminary which would stand fearlessly and without apology for the Evan- gelical Faith and the Wesleyan emphasis on Scrip- tural Holiness. Dr. H. C. Morrison, the founder of Asbury Theo- logical Seminary, became her first President and continued in that capacity until the day of his death, March 24, 1942, at which time Dr. Julian OPPOSITE PAGE: The building which housed the Seminary when she moved off of the campus of Asbury College.

Hall, the original building which housed Asbury Theolog- ical Seminary. This building is now used by Asbury College. TWENTY-FIVE YEARS C. McPheeters, pastor of the Glide Memorial Meth- odist Church, San Francisco, assumed the presi- dency. Dr. Frank P. Morris served as the first Dean of the Seminary for a little over a year until he was succeeded by Dr. Fred H. Larabee in 1926. Dr. Larabee had been connected with Asbury for eleven years and continued to serve as the Dean of the Seminary until June, 1946, when he retired as Dean Emeritus. Dr. William D. Turkington be- came the third Dean in the history of the institution in 1946, after having served on the faculties of both Asbury College and Asbury Theological Seminary since 1927. | In less than a year after the Seminary was es- tablished there were more than two hundred young people studying theology. Most of these students were undergraduates, however. One person was graduated in 1924, two in 1925, one in 1926. By 1927 there were six in the graduating class, and there has never been less than that number of graduates since that time. The class of nineteen forty-eight climaxes twenty-five years of growth with the largest number of graduates in the history of the institution—62 B.D. seniors and 8 M.R.E. graduates. The Seminary remained an integral part of As- bury College until 1931 when Articles of Incorpora- tion were drawn and the institution became legally independent. During the summer of 1939, the Col- lege erected a hotel directly across the street from its campus. That fall the Seminary leased this hotel building and the two institutions became completely separate in curriculum operation. In 1941 the Semi- nary assumed full control of her own operation when DR. JULIAN C. McPHEETERS The past few years of stress, when the Seminary was experi- encing some ‘‘growing pains,’ have demanded a leader of great faith and vision. President McPheeters has not only been a capable guide for the institution, but his vision of the future is a prophetic signpost of greaier days ahead for Asbury Theological Seminary. the ownership of the hotel building, which had been converted into an administration building, was transferred from the College to the Seminary in ex- change for Morrison Hall which is today a women's dormitory on the campus of Asbury College. Hardly a year passed after the Seminary assumed full responsibility for her own operation before seeming tragedy struck in the death of Dr. Mor- rison, the guiding spirit of the entire movement. The manner in which the constituents of the Semi- nary rallied to the cause now carried on by the suc- ceeding President, Julian C. McPheeters, and Mrs. H. C. Morrison was nothing short of miraculous. As treasurer of the institution, Mrs. Morrison, bet- ter known on the campus as ‘Aunt Bettie, ' did a monumental piece of work in establishing a ‘'family ’ of donors who provide annual scholarships for each full-time student. This living endowment has become a tremendous factor in the remarkable growth of the GROWTH AND institution since 1941. ‘Aunt Bettie’ also secured a substantial fund for the erection of the Morrison Memorial Quadrangle. On October 23, 1945, she turned the first shovelful of dirt at the ground- breaking ceremony for these new buildings. Sixteen days later she passed away, her work completed. Again the friends of Asbury Theological Seminary rallied to the cause, and today the nearly com- pleted ''Aunt Bettie’ Morrison Memorial apartment house stands as a tribute of appreciation to this dauntless soul. In spite of the loss of these two sorely needed leaders at this critical period of progress, the Semi- nary continued to take forward steps under the competent administration of Dr. McPheeters. A practically non-existent library grew to more than 20,000 volumes in an incredibly short time. Not too many years ago a B.D. degree was granted for work which did not far exceed the undergraduate level; today the academic standards compare favor- ably with the other seminaries of the nation, and the Master's degree in Religious Education is of- fered in addition to the Bachelor of Divinity. Not a single Ph.D. was on the faculty in 1942; today there are eight faculty members holding doctorates from some of the leading universities in the nation. In that same period of time the arand total of stu- dents in a given year has grown from sixty to what will probably amount to nearly two hundred and seventy-five by the time the complete records are in for 1948. This more than 300% increase in en- rollment places Asbury within the ‘'big ten’’ in size of its student body among the theological semina- ries of the country. A year ago the Seminary was EXPANSION housed in one small building; now the large admin- istration building of the Morrison Memorial Quad- rangle is completed, the apartment house is nearing completion, and the rest of the quadrangle is ready for construction. Five years ago the chances of full accreditation by the American Association of | Theological Schools seemed remote; by the fall of } 1946 that dream was realized, and, in addition, ap- proval came from the University Senate of the Methodist Church early in 1947. } At the beginning of the 1947-48 school year the | proposed affiliation of the John Wesley Seminary Foundation of the Free Methodist Church with As- | bury Seminary became a reaiity. There are about thirty students preparing for the ministry of the Free Methodist Church in school now. This is an illustration of the new doors of service which are continually opening for a greater and better Asbury Top: A scene taken during the ground-breaking ceremony. | | ' F Below: Construction begun on the new administration Theological Seminary of the future. building. | The completed administration building of the MorrisonMemorial Quadrangle. PROSPECTS OF THE The phenomenal growth of Asbury Theological Seminary in the last twenty-five years is but a good foundation upon which rest great plans for the fu- ture. The partially constructed ''Aunt Bettie’ Mor- rison Hall will soon provide seventeen sorely needed apartment units for married students. Construction is scheduled to start on the Estes Memorial Chapel within the next few months, and the Morrison Me- morial Quadrangle will be completed with the building of a modern library which can adequately house 50,000 or more volumes. These plans for the immediate future are not the total extent of the vision for a greater Asbury Theo- logical Seminary. In the near future two new chairs will be added to the faculty; one in missions and the other in the field of evangelism. These new professorships will be but the beginnings of schools of missions and evangelism. The former will offer The ''Aunt Bettie'’ Morrison Hall under construction. excellent courses for the training of outgoing mis- sionaries, and, in addition, will offer special courses for missionaries on furlough who will find a haven on the campus of the school of missions. The school of evangelism will not only feature an enlarged training course in evangelism for the minister, but also short term courses for the laity. It is hoped that out of this practical clinic a new appreciation for the supreme task of the Christian, the holy art of soul winning, will be instilled into the ministry and laity alike.

The Seminary is justly proud of her scholarly professors who are determined that the scholastic standards of Asbury Seminary shall be equal to those of any other divinity school in the country. Their own scholastic accomplishments are enviable and stimulate the serious student to greater effort in the fields of conservative theolog- ical scholarship. Harvard, Yale, Drew, Princeton, Oxford, Cambridge, Biblical Seminary in New York, University of Kentucky, New York University, and the University of Southern California are some of the major institutions which have contributed to the educational background of the faculty. The scholastic requirements for the students are rigorous, sometimes severe, but this excellent men- tal discipline prepares the student to meet many of the practical and theoretical problems of the day. The student has over 21,000 well selected volumes at his disposal in the rapidly growing library. It has been said that the scholastic standards of an edu- A view of the library which is temporarily quartered in the basement of the Admin- istration building. cational institution can be measured in direct pro- portion to the use of its library. If this statement carries any truth, to say that the library at Asbury Seminary is often crowded to capacity speaks for itself. In the 1946 Seminarian, President McPheeters wrote, ‘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 tomorrows. Our goal is ever to maintain the very highest in both intel- lectual and spiritual standards.'' This striving has paid for itself since those words were written for Asbury Seminary is now an accredited member of the American Association of Theological Schools, and is approved by the University Senate of the Methodist Church. Yet those words are still appli- cable to further recognition and attainments as the Seminary seeks to make a significant contribution in the field of theological education. [ : EMCEE ELLA ALE ALLEL BBR ALANA LANL LAAN AML RAINE A PI Bs MISSIONS—AT HOME AND ABROAD There are approximately 400 graduates, 50 of whom are missionaries in 21 foreign lands. Fifteen are teachers and most of the remainder are ministers in forty-two states of the nation. It is the firm conviction of the Administration, faculty and students that a high scholastic standard and deep spirituality are not incompatible, but are strongly linked by inseparable bonds of unity. With all of her stress on the intellectual aspect of semi- nary life, Asbury Seminary seeks to ever keep her approach functional and geared to the future mis- sion of her students both at home and abroad. She attempts to impart to her students who are about to enter their ministerial careers that dynamic im- petus and passion for the redemption of the lost which produces the desired results in the pastorate, in e vangelism, and on the mission field today. The gratifying result is an increasing demand for grad- uates by many conferences all over the United States and by the various mission boards. A glance at the distribution of Seminary alumni FOREIGN STUDENTS The group pictured at the right is representative of the large number of foreign nationals or foreign born Americans in the Seminary. Left to right, they are: Sang Ho Lee from Korea; Murray Hewgill and Melvin Pelfrey of Canada; Mrs. Beryl Rig- by, British Isles; Herman Whiting of Canada; David Rigby from the British Isles; and William Morrison, also from Canada. reveals that they have literally taken heed to Christ's command to ''go into all the world.” It can almost be said that the sun never sets on these alumni. The Seminary comes quite naturally by this world emphasis through her traditions rooted in the life and work of John Wesley who once said, ''The world is my parish.'' This same sen- timent is expressed in the Seminary's slogan, ‘The Whole Bible for the Whole World. A thoroughly cosmopolitan atmosphere pervades the campus as students from several foreign coun- tries and thirty-five or forty of the states fellowship together for a few short months and then go to all parts of the world. But the students are not merely looking forward to service in the far corners of the earth, many are doing a real service now in the hospitals, jails, missions and student pastorates in the vicinity of the Seminary.

Those who play musical instru- ments are welcome to participate in the activities of the Symphonette.

The revivals this year were no exception to the great times of spiritual refreshing experienced in former years. Although neither of these meetings is sponsored by the Semi- nary, the seminarians particioate whole heartedly. This year was unusual in that five new professors were added to the faculty. It is rather infrequent that a Seminary can add at one time an imposing array of five Ph.D.'s to its list of professors. Here is another indication of the extremely rapid expan- sion of Asbury Seminary. The students and faculty were highly honored by a visit from Dr. Henry Cadbury of Harvard Uni- versity Divinity School. His informal explanation of the procedure and difficulties encountered by the translation committee of the Revised Standard Ver- sion of the New Testament, of which he was a mem- ber, gave each person present a new appreciation of that much discussed volume. In the first part of January the Seminary was host to the Kentucky Area Conference of the Inter- seminary Movement. Five seminaries besides As- bury sent representatives.

TAYLOR Bishop of the Free Methodist Church SPECIAL EVENTS OF THE YEAR ered two addresses on the nature and function of the Church for the world of our day. Each student who participated felt stimulated by the exchange of views and contact with the members of the va- rious other schools and denominations. The Annual Ministers’ Conference is always an outstanding attraction of the year. The effect of this Conference is becoming more widespread each year, and the attendance includes a large number of guest ministers from many surrounding states. The Glide Foundation lecturer for 1948 was Bishop Fred P. Corson of the Methodist Church. The other guest lecturer was Bishop Leslie R. Marston of the Free Methodist Church. Several years ago the student body sponsored a ‘'Holiness Emphasis Week.’ The value of this stress upon the deepening of the spiritual life was immediately apparent, and the week has since be- come a permanent student-sponsored feature of each school year. During this week some outstand- ing leader of the ‘Holiness Movement addresses the student body twice daily on the ‘Doctrine and Experience of Sanctification.’ Dr. Paul S. Rees, pas- tor of the First Covenant Church of Minneapolis, was the guest speaker this year. DR. ROBERT (BOB) SHULER Pastor, Trinity Methodist Church Los Angeles RETTIG O In spite of the fact that the scholastic load is heavy and the activities are many at Asbury Seminary, most of the students go out every week-end in Christian service. The church pictured above could be multiplied several times over as typical of the many which are served by student pastors from the Seminary. This practical training is important both as a means of support and as an avenue of spiritual service during stu- dent days. THE STUDENT MINISTRY PAUL FREDERICK ABEL 10!

FRANCES KINLAW MOORE Wilmore, Kentucky Rigas MASTER OF RELIGIOUS EDUCATION CLASS 1948 A significant forward step was taken by the Seminary in the fall of 1946 when the program for a course of study leading to a Master's degree in Religious Education was instituted. For some time the Administra- tion sensed a growing demand for profes- sionally competent educational assistants in many churches as well as in the other areas of professional Christian Education. They felt that Asbury Theological Seminary had a mission to fulfill in this field not only by supplying academic training of a high qual- Taylorsville, Kentucky AMELIA CHRISTINE ROGERS ity, but also by instilling a unique impetus into this field of study through the evangel- istic emphasis of her Wesleyan tradition. As a consequence, the dreams of a special- ized course in Christian Education were speedily actualized, and three M.R.E. de- grees were conferred at the Commence- ment in May, 1947. Needless to say, the immediate response to this program by a number of young la- dies has changed the traditionally and pre- dominantly male Seminary into a definitely co-educational institution.

This enrollment places the Seminary within the ''big ten'' as far as the size of the student bodies among the theological seminaries of this country is concerned. It has also increased the tasks of the student body President, but Evyn Adams efficiently performed the increasing number of duties. An unusual family spirit exists among the students considering the tact that Asbury Seminary is a graduate institution. This spirit is nowhere more evident than on the day of the annual spring outing when classes are dismissed and the student body as well as the faculty move to nearby Herrington EVYN M. ADAMS Siudent. Body: Pracident Lake for a day of recreation and fellowship. NEMINARY DAMES All professors’ wives and women members of the Seminary staff are eligible for membership in this group. The purpose of the organization is to pro- vide avenues of cultural, intellectual and social ex- pression for the protessors’ wives and women staff members who usually live behind the scenes as a housewife or are engrossed with the dull routine of office work. CHI ALPHA Christ First'' is the motto represented by the name Chi Alpha. This organization of Seminary women, both students and full time employees, seeks to promote a deeper fellowship among the increasing number of women students coming to Asbury Seminary. Two weekend retreats, one in the fall and the other in the spring, highlight the year, CHRISTIAN SERVICE BROTHERHOOD Originally known as the Men's Brotherhood, this organization changed its name to the Christian Ser- vice Brotherhod when the number of women students who applied for membership increased. The Brotherhood sponsors many avenues of practical Christian service in jails, hospitals, street-meetings and missions. The Cabinet, pictured above, acts as a steering committee for these various activities. STUDENTS’ WIVES CIRCLE The students’ wives from both the college and seminary meet once each month for an evening of entertainment and fellowship. Several years ago this group was small and very seldom noticed; but in recent years, with the increase of married stu- dents attending both institutions, the Students’ Wives Circle has become one of the largest organi- zations on either campus, JOHN WESLEY SEMINARY FOUNDATION FELLOWSHIP The Fellowship, an auxiliary of the John Wesley Seminary Foundation, provides religious and social fellowship for both Free Methodist and other inter- ested persons. It operates through a committee composed of two faculty persons and two students The Committee provides for informal social occa- sions and is in charge of worship-fellowship services each Sunday at 5:30 P.M. THE FILM CLUB It is the conviction of the members of the Film Club that visual aids can make a positive contribu- tion to the work of the church and the spread of the Gospel. This club provides the opportunity to review religious films of all types, thus aiding the pastor in his choice of desirable films as well as discovering the undesirable ones. Pictured below is the Cabinet: Clara Bletz, Robert Fraley, and Frank Davenport. THE SEMINARIAN The publication of a student yearbook from a graduate institution is a departure from the usual practice, but the Seminarian grows out of the general spirit of Asbury Semi- nary. The unusual family spirit enhanced by a deep sense of Christian fellowship which characterizes Asbury Semina- rians has led to a unique sentiment which makes a yearbook desirable as a means of recall in the future. Twenty-five years have passed in review, and today Asbury Theological Seminary stands at the threshold of greater achievements. It is the sincere wish of each person on the Seminarian staff that the 1948 edition of the student yearbook will bring a greater appreciation of this glorious history, and will carry with it not only the memory of immediate schoolmates, but also the challenge of a great tradition. The task of publishing such a volume is arduous, but it is the hope of the staff that the pleasure derived from the book by the student body will be commensurate with the work it has demanded. The excellent photography in the book is to be attributed to the skill of both Walter Petti- bone and Joseph Dizon. David Ostrander and Leon Gib- son freely gave of their talent and time to the editorial department whenever their services were requested. PAUL F. ABEL Editor ELMER NEUENSCHWANDER Business Manager Left to right, standing: Coach Gillispie, Lamb, Jessup, Siner, Callis, Sims, Eddins. Kneeling: Jones, Richardson, Wake, Key During the Seminary Board meeting this past fall several students asked permission to establish inter-collegiate basketball competition with some nearby colleges. The board granted this permission on an experimental basis only. The games were to be arranged by a committee composed of board, faculty and student representatives. With a limited schedule, but with brave and ad- venturous spirit, the first inter-collegiate team went out to bear their testimony for Christ on the hard- wood and to bring recognition to the school. The results were as follows: Won by the Seminary: Campbellsville . Georgetown . Detroit Clowns . Campbellsville . Won by opponents: Centre. . . Cumberland . Pikeville. . . UO Keoerosne Pikeville .

Though the emphasis is on spiritual and intellectual development, there has been an effort made to offer a program of recreation which would include everyone in the student body who is inter- ested in athletic competition. The Seminary fellows have always been keen competitors of the team from Asbury College. Al- though many times the underdog. the Seminarians at times have been the victors and the college fel- lows the victims. After a successful season ‘n basketball a year ago in which the Seminary Seniors finished second, the fellows matched their stamina against the fel- lows across the street in a track meet. In this as well the Seminary was the runner-up, scoring fifty- three total points in the men's class. Led by Wake and Davis, six first places went to the Seminary. The college Collegian, in its spring softball pre- dictions, hardly found room to mention the Semi- nary Seniors. Contrary to the inference of this fact, that Seminary team went through the entire season without a loss. The softball team retained its reputation this past fall. It was principally Key, the pitcher, backed substantially by heavy hitting teammates, who carried the season. The Seminary Juniors were able to claim second place honors with the Yellow Jackets of the college after a stiff race. LLOYD WAKE Student Athletic Manager ANNOTATIONS The several times each year that President McPheeters visits the campus are always highlights on the Seminary calendar. Busi- ness meetings and conferences crowd his schedule, but the picture above is typical of the amiable manner in which Dr. McPheeters takes time to relax with the students and to offer triendly, helpful suggestions. Each fall quarter the students sponsor a reception in his honor. The Thanksgiving season carries a special significance for Asbury Theological Semi- nary since D. H. C. Morrison instituted a special Thanksgiving offering in order that 78 the constituents of the Seminary might share in the expansion and progress of the institution. Thanksgiving dinner (pictured below) is a never-to-be-forgotten meal in the dining hall. The Missionary Prayer Band, which meets daily at noon, yearly sponsors a $2,000 mis- sionary project. This money comes solely through contributions from the student body and is divided between several mis- sionaries in whom the students have a spe- cial interest. Not only does the student body freely give of its means, but a large number of the students, part of whom are pictured below, have given themselves to the cause of missions and are now preparing to go to the ‘uttermost parts of the world. The recreation committee has performed a real service to th e student body by pro- viding many opportunities for fellowship and social activity throughout the year. Every- thing from hikes to parlor games have been on the agenda. Were a poll to be taken among the students, no doubt this commit- tee would receive an overwhelming vote of approval. The winter of 1948 will probably stand out for its heavy snowfall as evidenced in ———————————— ave 0 TATION S the above picture. More than one Sunday the quartets and student pastors found it either difficult or impossible to get to their churches. The retreats mark high spots in the fall and spring quarters. These times of fellow- ship are marked by wholesome fun, camping and roughing it (note picture), and by a deep spiritual emphasis. The Seminary was privileaed to be host to the Kentucky Area Conference of the Interseminary Movement. Pictured above 79 are William Parsons, associate general sec- retary of the movement; Dr. Wilhelm Pauck, speaker; Evyn Adams, Kentucky-Tennessee regional director; and John DeKruiter, area president. The most outstanding student project of each year is the Holiness Emphasis Week. The guest lecturer for this year was Dr. Paul S. Rees. Last, but not least, is the view (below) of the Seminary trailer camp and apartment houses where a large percentage of the stu- dents live. Micpak Go thou thy way, and | go mine, Apart, yet not afar; Only a thin veil hangs between The pathways where we are. And ''God keep watch ‘tween thee and me ; This is my prayer; He looks thy way, He looketh mine, And keeps us near. | know not where thy road may lie, Or which way mine will be; If mine will lead thro’ parching sands And thine beside the sea; Yet God keeps watch 'tween thee and me, So never fear; He holds thy hands, He claspeth mine, And keeps us near. And though our paths be separate, And thy way is not mine, Yet coming to the Mercy seat, My soul will meet with thine. | And ''God keep watch 'tween thee and me,’ | I'll whisper then | He blesseth thee, He blesseth me, And we are near.
