IN Gita? oeatey le cieg dort FOREWORD The Nautilus of 1944, at its best, gives but a glimpse of the rich heritage which has come to the students of today through the loyalty, devotion, consecration and sacrifices of the God-fearing men who founded and established the Cincinnati Bible Seminary. May this record of the Seminary’s achievements through twenty years of service to Christ and the Church challenge its students and friends of today to remain faithful to this great institution and the cause which it represents. This school faces a promising future. Its value to the cause of New Testament Christianity is 1m- measurable. God grant that our people—God’s people—shall not only preserve it and defend it against all opposing forces, but will so labor and pray that the school will continue to grow steadily in size and influence. That God’s blessing may ever rest upon The Cincinnati Bible Seminary, its Alumni, faculty, students and friends as they labor together in the work of the Kingdom is the earnest prayer of the Nautilus Staff of 1944.

Dee Dele Orn he leO) N To WILLIAM HENRY BOOK Faithful Breaeree of the Word Stalwart Defender of the Faith-- Devoted Friend of the Sem- inary throughout its history-- We, the Class of ’44 dedicate this edition of The Nautilus In the Prime of Life As He Is Today Ig vee IE Allied oleate s By FORMER CONGRESSMAN UPpsHAW On Thursday afternoon at the opening service of the Gospel Rally at Central Christian Church in Orlando I looked on a picture of human grandeur and Christian heroism that will be to me a mental stimulus and a spiritual inspiration as long as I have a mind to think and a heart to feel. It was Dr. William H. Book, eighty years young, sitting in a rolling chair and preaching a sermon of indescribable power on “The Majesty and Authority of Christ.” Perhaps it was put into shining italics by the very fact of his speaking from a rolling chair, for after getting off bed where I stayed seven years, I spoke from a rolling chair. So, I was peculiarly ready for that marvelous message from that Patriarch of God, as his rolling chair became a throne of power! Just let the unregen- erate world, the hopeless skeptic and the Christless philosopher explain that preacher of God’s truth on that rolling chair. It cannot be done apart from the redeeming grace of which William H. Book is an ocular demonstration. Verily, there is only one word that will explain William H. Book and his powerful gospel message, and that word is God. There is only one word that will explain the miracle of a new heart and life in Christ, and that word is God. Sixty years a preacher of Christ’s gospel and still crying out with triumph voice, as he did Thurs- day, that form and ceremony mean nothing without the miracle of a new heart in Christ. As this “grand old man” closed his burning message he told the beautiful story of the dying Christian man who whispered to his watching wife: “Bring!” The daugh- ters came but he shook his head. Then his sorrowing wife fell on her knees and prayed that he might be given strength to tell what his heart was trying to say. Then the dying man cried out in a shout of radiant triumphant: “Bring forth the Royal Diadem and crown Him Lord of all!” And as this eloguent prophet of God finished that dramatic and thrilling story, tears flashed answer in many eyes—tears that were crystal with the light of the skies. No wonder the congregation thronged his rolling chair to thank the “grand old man” for his wonderful message of Christian faith and hope! Verily, it was enough to put infidelity to a stammering hush! The men and the movement must not be misfits.” —Boswell
