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.

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,

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
