 The - - BETHANNUAL - - 1932 A Brief History of Bethel Every tree, no matter how mighty, has once had a beginning and has grown, at first, as a weak sapling, bending with every blast. From air and sunshine it has drawn its strength, and ever deeper into the earth has it fed its tendrils. A school also has a beginning, sometimes very small, from which, please God. it grows and flourishes, and becomes an influence of inestimable power. The history of our Seminary is not inglorious. Sixty years ago a man of deeply spiritual appreciation threw himself into the precarious task of founding a school for ministers of the gospel. He was an artistic, sensitive soul, and a true gentleman withal. FIRST SEMINARY BUILDING He toiled and suffered, and died largely unappreciated. But from the Seminary which Dr. Alexis Edgren founded has gone out from year to year a group of loyal ministers who have preached the gospel with zeal and understanding. The result has been the founding of churches from coast to coast. Seventeen
