Fall Revival If my people which are called by my name, shall humble them- selves, and pray, and seek my face . . . then will I hear from Heav- en . . . Once again this command and promise was proved to be un- failing as the Lee College faculty and student body banded together in unity, seeking God for another outpouring of His Spirit. As the shekinah of God ' s glory filled the Temple in the days of David and Solomon, so did He fill the Lee College auditorium from the opening of the revival to the closing night. The soon appearing of God ' s Son was made real to us through the preaching of the Reverend James L. Slay. One of Reverend Slay ' s most memorable sermons was his relating of the description of the four animals listed in Proverbs 30, which he so vividly described in the sermon, The Four Feeble Folk. Several students were saved, others sanctified, and many baptized with the Holy Ghost; this revival will live forever in the minds and the hearts of many as a time of having received Divine direction from God relative to their future To those who had found it hard to live a consistent Christian life. Reverend Slay ' s sermons, Victory Through Christ, gave strength and courage. The audience seemed to look forward with expectation from night to night to the variety of music which was presented. Included in the musical program of this holy convocation were the Forward in Faith Trio, campus choir, glee club, band, several instrumental en- sembles, and other vocal groups. This revival, the peak of the semester ' s spiritual services, will serve as a constant stream of devotional refreshment for those persons whose lives received direction and guidance from the Fount of our salvation. Revival night in the altar. The Reverend James L. Slay 20

. . . with Hillbilly Heyday, Tell those two big ones to get off their knees. Street services and Sadie Hawkins hayride Members of the religious clubs prepare for a Saturday street service. HILLBILLY HEYDEY Scents of new-mowed hay filled the air as guys and gals gathered for the annual Hillbilly Heydey sponsored by the Student Social Committee. Tunes on the ole banjo set the mood. Those who dressed hillbilly style felt right at home in the big red barn. What could be more perfect than a visit by Charlie Weaver, alias Charles Beach, with a letter from Mama? Also visiting was the Mount Idy Symphonette, featui-- ing Jim Burns singing our old favorite, I ' ll Walk the Line. We were brought up to date on the latest styles and colors by the lovely models from Swampgrass, Tennessee. They presented a variety of fashions in- cluding a stunning potato-brown dress, bean-green ensemble with matching turquoise accessories, and a Carole Grindstaff original wedding dress. Uncle A T. dropped in with his mouth harp and all joined him in song. Straight from the West came Judy Young singing Don ' t Fence Me In. To show off our best dressed we held a contest and chose Doris Dennison as Best Looking Girl and Jim Burns as Best Look- ing Boy. Oh yes, vittles were served. All in all, it was a rustic, gala affair. Don ' t let the stars get In your eyes, nor the hay in your hair.
