IN MEMORY OF . . . L Gary Edward Marsh -Oct. 31, 1949 to Feb. 18, 1981 Gary was the kind of person who took God at his word and challenged others to a life of prayer and obedience. On campus Gary pleaded for a revitalizing of spiritual life among us. He himself was a man of prayer and brought others into a life lived in His presence. As a student Gary had to put in long hours. His reading rate was low and he worked slowly through the course material. Those who knew his difficulties praised God with him for the remarkable grade average of his last semester, 3.85. During his brief life after graduation in 1980, Gary pas- tored a church in Frostburg, MD. His great concern was the winning of the lost around him. Even in his death he won many. And his work is not finished yet. We still hear his l challenge you .... James Richard Turner -Feb. 7, 1960 to Jan. 23, 1981 Jim was the kind of person who wanted the world around him to know the same Jesus that he knew. On campus he loved the people with whom he attended classes and didn't allow his loss of hair to interfere with meeting people and making everlasting friendships. His work at Krogers was an enjoyable part of his life. His co-workers knew there was something special about him, At church, Jim was a driving force in the youth group and basketball team. Whether he held a puppet ora basketball, he always gave his all to do his best. Jim's world held a special place for his family. He wanted more than anything in this world for his brothers and sisters to know Jesus Christ in the way that he did. Jim lived faithful to his Lord. He stands tall and straight in our memo- ries. j 1

Dr. Excerpts from the Inaugural Address, Axheads, Fish Sandwiches, and Parchments . The axhead did fIoat CII Kings 6:67 Today we are not concerned with lost axheads, but we are distressed by men and women who are lost and with- out hope. Sin has a grip on the human race and everywhere there are cries for release. I personally have not seen an axhead float, but I have seen an alcoholic transformed into a whole per- son. I have seen the power of God flow into the life of a hardened criminal to make him a new man. I have seen a tribe of savage, primitive Auca Indians in South America changed into a gen- tle, peace-loving tribe devoted to sav- ing rather than killing .......................... The fact is that the disciples had little to share-only five loaves and two fish! The second priority as I see it is to be compassionate people. Bangla- desh and Cambodiag Appalachia and the inner-cityg migrant workers and ju- venile delinquentsg the lonely elderly and the prostitutesg form a parade that pass as in endless procession before our eyes. How do we react to the needs of these who crowd in on us in ever-increasing numbers? When you come, bring the cloak which I left at Troas and the books, especially the parchments tll Tim. 4:13J The third priority is an understanding of truth-God's truth. God has spoken. There are more copies of His Word in the hands of more people today than ever before. But mankind needs in- struction, and to teach effectively we must be diligent students of the Word ourselves. 14 Harvey F-I. Bostrom Accepts
