T ' ' ASBURY--THE RESULT CDF PRAYER One day a halT-cenTury ago as John Wesley Hughes saT in The old KenTucky CenTral depoT in LexingTon, KenTucky, having been Trom his home in Carlisle, KenTucky, Tor a monTh oT evan- gelisTic work, he TelT a deTiniTe call oT The Lord To prayer. As he knelT There in The presence oT God, he TelT deTiniTely called To esTablish a holi-' ness school where young men mighT beTTer pre- pare Themselves To carry THE LIGHT Ol: THE CROSS To all peoples. In his own words he d . . sai , God gave me noT only a vision oT a real salvaTion school, buT called me To The work. So aT The end oT ThirTeen years Tilled wiTh aggres- sive preaching oT The gospel, Rev. John Wesley Hughes was rewarded wiTh This wonderTul call. For several days The burden kepT increasing, buT Rev. Hughes TelT unprepared Tar SUCI-1 5 Task. Compared wiTh The educaTional sTandards oT Today, ThaT was True, buT superior qualiTica- 2+ 5:3 125 4,4 N3 Tions were his in his leadership, undersTanding of human naTure and above all, his uHer TaiThVm and abandonmenT To The Lord. So aTTer Talking wiTh his wiTe, They boTh dedicaTed ThemselvSS To God Tor The Task oT Tounding The TirsT hOllU955 college in The UniTed STaTes.

LEE if S-:. pedesTrians had To compeTe wiTh loaded wagons and buggies Tor The Turnpike. BuT Wilmore had To iTs crediT a good railroad and The addiTional advanTage oT being cenTrally locaTed. Being approximaTely one hundred miles souTh oT CincinnaTi and noT very Tar Trom The cenTer oT The naTion's populaTion, Wilm'ore was especially Tavored by naTural advanTages. Rev. l-lughes was quick To see These asseTs and began aT once To capiTalize Them. He also was pleased wiTh The local surroundings. The rolling bluegrass counTry, doTTed here and There wiTh peaceTul Tarm houses, and populaTed wiTh ThriTTy people: The guieTude oT The local surroundings, Tree Trom The vices so common To our crowded urban cenTersg and The closeness oT The place To NaTure's handiwork so beauTiTully porTrayed in The cliTTs and gorges bordering on The KenTucky River: all oT These were conTribuTing causes r 5 TQ which inTluenced his decision. Rev. l-lughes rec ognized ThaT his sTudenTs would have a beTTer opporTuniTy To hear The voice oT The Lord as They Tollowed Their sTudies here away Trom The disTracTions oTTered by a ciTy liTe. His goal was a deTiniTe one, Tor he recognized The uTTer lack oT religious educaTion in sTaTe schools and knew The imporTance oT young people who would spend Their lives in The service oT The Lord. One oT his besT remembered guoTaTions is OuT oT real ChrisTian educaTion come Three greaT characTerisTics: selT-reliance, aggressiveness, and The love oT individual Treedom Toward selT, man and God, which mean a power To bring Things To pass. MeeTing wiTh six ciTizens oT Wilmore, Dr. l-lughes sTaTed his desire To Tound a school where The Bible would be TaughT as a subiecT as im- porTanT as any oTher.
