Kenneth Geiger, spring evangelist While Berlin loomed as a stern blockade to world peace and Red China knocked on the door of the United Nations, Marion College students heard and believed in the heavenly answer to world prob¬ lems — our Lord Jesus Christ. Rev. C. Wesley Lovin, the fall evangelist and Dr. George Failing, the Youth Week speaker, and Rev. Kenneth Geiger, spring evangel¬ ist, spoke with a frank, probling manner that reached the hearts and souls of many Marion College students. They portrayed the basic foundation for the kingdom of Heaven — a foundation built not of rock or granite but of love and sacrifice. For this they will be remembered in the memories and prayers of the Marion College student body. L £mi, n r [ Confession before Christ.
