CHAPTER 2: SEPTEMBER Classes begin.. . . . and fhe windows lighf up af dawn on Seminary Hill. The new sfudenf is ouf of bed and ready for class far ahead of fime, while his upper-class roommafe sfill sleeps. The newcomer is foo excifed fo sleep. The firsf day of classes al' The Cincinnafi Bible Seminary! He has mel' so many differenf people during fhe pasf few pre-school days fhal' he wonders if he can ever keep fhem sfraighf. He galhers his books and sfarfs for class. The professors fhaf he had already mef seemed very friendly. Wonder how fhe classes will be? Oh, well, he had come here fo be a preacher and nofh- ing was going fo sfop him. He had seen fhe resf- lessness of fhe world and had finally decided fhaf if needed one fhing. The Seminary had fhaf fhing wriffen on ifs seal in Greek words. His preacher had fold him fhe meaning of fhose Greek words, THE LlGHT OF THE WORLD! Now he is here, ready fo fake parf in fhe greafesf work known fo man, fhaf of preaching Chrisf. Paul's famous words come fo his mind now, For fo me fo live is Chrisf . . . No maffer whaf field he would enfer, fhose words would be before him. He vows if now as he walks around fhe driveway foward fhe Ad building. As he enfers fhe classroom, ofher freshmen whom he had mef shouf fheir greefings fo him. He an- swers and smiles happily. Whaf a wonderful fel- lowship down here, he fhinks as he fakes his seaf. He had never known anyfhing like if even in high school. Now he's fo enjoy four or five years of if! The fellows in fhe room have been falking aboul' fhe class-work, and fhey confinue now. l hear fhaf Professor Elliofl' is really fough. They say fhaf he's so deep and covers so much maferial. Someone said fhaf Professor Ensign's like fhaf, foo, and he gives lofs of quizzes, anofher soul con- fribufes. Professor Fosler is fhe one fo wa+ch, exclaims yef anofher. My roommafe said fhaf he mighf call on one of us lo recife fhe firsf day. And on and on goes fhe discussion. The newly arrived freshman lisfens wifh a heavy hearf which gefs heavier af each inferiecfion. Suppose he doesn'f make if, suppose he fails? And in his hearf grows fhe fradifional dread and fear of fhe fresh- man. Buf fhe following week, his fear begins fo die: and as he familiarizes himself wifh fhe class work and especially fhe professors, he discovers many fhings. Why, fhese professors are acfually human beings. They are hard-working and expecf a liffle of fhal' hard work from fhe sfudenfsg fhey are un- dersfanding and fry fo gef fhe sfudenf fo under- sfand, foo. And, above all, fhey are here fo feach as fhey know fhe sfudenf should be here fo learn. He has found scholarly men wifh Chrisfian under- sfanding and complefe loyalfy fo fheir Lord. The bell echoes fhrough fhe hall and confusion reigns supreme for a fime. Then fhe professor en- fersg and, as fhe gray squirrels fly from free fo free and fhe sun rises on Seminary hill, classes begin. lll Carver-Hebrew.
