RELIGIOUS ACTIVITIES ON THE CAMPUS Much has been said of the Christian workers and their work in the city and neighboring towns, but little mention has been made of the religious activities on the campus though it is here in the services that much of the vision of a lost world is realized. Nothing can be more in- spirational and soul-stirring than some of the services which have been held here. The first religious program of the day on the campus is the chapel service where all the stu- dents meet for an hour of worship together. Some of the greatest sermons which have ever come from the lips of man have been heard in our chapel. We have been fortunate this year in having three of the leading preachers in the Nazarene movement give a series of messages during these morning hours of devotion. Dr. J. B. Chapman, General Superintendent of the Church of the Nazarene, was with us first; then Dr. C. E. hiardy, former president of Trevecca College; and later Dr. E. P. Ellyson, former Gen- eral Superintendent of the Church of the Naz- arene, and Editor of the Sunday school literature. Such messages as were heard on Christian work- ers ' responsibilities, prophecy, and holiness were enough to give anyone a greater vision and more zeal to go forward in the work of the Lord If nothing else were ever said in chapel, hlowever, this is only a part of the whole. Each morning we receive a blessing from those things we hear and are helped to keep steady. The stirring, in- spirational talks from our president we cannot forget, and besides that twice each week Rev. hH. hi. Wise, pastor of the First Nazarene Church In Nashville, lectures and preaches from his thirty years of experience and study of the Bible. At the close of the day when classes and work are done, the student body assembles for prayer meeting. Nothing can be more beautiful than the spirit of worship which prevails throughout the services. Often a revival spirit breaks out in a regular meeting and shouts of praise ring out from the campus. The prayer services follow a definite program. Wednesday night is called Missionary Night. It is in charge of those who have a special call to foreign and home mission work. Often the speakers are men and women who have spent many years of their lives on mission fields, and their soul-stlrring messages give the student body a greater vision of the work to be done. On Thursday night the Holi- ness League, an auxiliary of the National Asso- ciation for the Promotion of hloliness, gets special speakers from both on and off the campus. Fri- day and Saturday prayer meetings are general, and It Is here that the student preachers get practice for their work in later life. The general prayer meeting is on Tuesday evening, which all students are required to attend. Usually an out- side speaker or a member of the faculty brings the message. Truly prayer meetings are inspira- tional and worthwhile, for the blessings of God are on the services. At least once each quarter and sometimes twice, the Ministerial Association, under the direction of the faculty, sponsors a special re- vival campaign. At the beginning of the third quarter we have already had three series of re- vival services. The special speakers have been Rev. W. M. Tldwell of Chattanooga First Church, Dr. C. E. hiardy, noted evangelist and former president of Trevecca College, and Rev. hH. H. hHooker, well-known evangelist and former district superintendent of the Alabama District. The messages were wonderful and the manifesta- tion of the power of God was upon the services. Trevecca is indeed a spiritual institution. Al- most every hour someone can be heard lifting his voice to God in prayer and thanksgiving. Truly every student of Trevecca College has been blessed by the religious activities on the campus. [29]
