I was born in Indiana, but I couldn ' t help it, I v as brought up in Ken¬ tucky, and I am proud of it, 1 spent my boyhood days raising tobacco, but I detest it. I planned to be a lawyer, but God put me in the ministry. I selected a Presbyterian college for my educa¬ tion, but I am a Baptist by conviction. I always have admired redheaded women, but I married a blonde and a brunette. I chose a post-millennial seminary for my theo¬ logical training and be¬ came a pre-millenna- rian. I have been a member of the Northern Baptist Convention for fifty years, but I still hold to orthodoxy. I was called to the pulpit of the First Baptist Church, Minneapolis, forty-four years ago; I am still there! ! originated the North- western Bible School thirty-nine years ago with seven day stu¬ dents. I have seen it become one of the larg¬ est Theological schools of the world. I have preached the gos¬ pel, ,T as the power of God unto salvation, for sixty years. I would not exchange my office lor the combined crowns of kings.

to OUR P R E Senior Tribute S I D E IV T Dr. Hi ley To those outside the student body. Dr. Riley is known for what he has accom¬ plished as an evangelist, a debater, an author, and the founder of The World s Christian Fundamentals Association, but to the students he is known and loved for what he is, We witness daily the fruits of the Spirit in his life manifested in the courtesy and friendliness which he constantly exercises toward those about him. Through a vibrant personality he draws many friends and admirers to his side, and he needs no false manner to keep them there. His inimitable wit can be depended upon under the most strained circumstances, and many of our Chapel periods have been brightened by the relation of interesting and humorous incidents which he has gathered through more than a half century of experience as a pastor and teacher No matter how pressing his duties may be, he always has a moment to answer a student ' s greeting with a joyful smile and cheerful Good morning! Those who are troubled have in him an understanding listener; those grieving, a sympathetic friend; those erring, a wise and honest counsellor. He leads the way in upholding the Christian conduct and character not only of the school, but also of the students. His own life adorns the doctrine of God, our Saviour, in all things ' not through a personal endeavor or search for glory, but through a close and constant fellowship with our blessed Lord. Many days and nights during the past years have been spent in crying out to God for wisdom and strength to carry on the tremendous task set before him, and fehovah has not withheld His hand, but has showered us with blessings innumerable, thereby setting the seal of His approval upon this great work. We, the students, will always remember Dr. Riley as one who has fought a good fight and kept the faith.
