J± J p. ' J± J± JS- P J± MY p ' A p . ' A k. w A. A. .A. . Fifty years have passed over a school of God ' s plant- ing — years of faith in and work for an Ideal. The Ideal was born in the fire and fervor of holiness evangelism, and it embraced the training of young evangelicals as bearers of the Light. The Light must be shed aloft and afar over a world whose visage was Night and whose movement followed no compass. It would carry for Life ' s pilgrim a noonday vision and an unfailing sense of direc- tion. Ofttimes the Light was dimmed that radiated from Trevecca Lighthouse. Low ceilings of adversity constrict- ed the outreach of the Ideal that sent forth the Light. But ever and again have clear skies reappeared, and always the Light shines because the Ideal lives.

THROUGH WISDOM IS A HOUSE BU1LDED . Proverbs 24:3 19 11 Where TnUcca ttte4 Trevecca, first called the Missionary and Bible Training School, opened its initial sessions in the former Hynes School Building, located in Nashville at Summer Street (now Fifth Avenue) and Jo John- ston Street, in the year 1901. The building was commodious, but time had weakened its ante-bel- lum walls and made it necessary that the school seek a new location. In 1905, faculty and students opened classes at 125 Fourth Avenue, North, in a building that had been used by the Pentecostal Publishing (now John T. Benson) Company. The same building housed the Pentecostal Mission where gathered holiness folk from the city and surrounding territory for services that were spirit-filled and evangelistic. At the Fourth Avenue site, the Bible school was expanded to collegiate level and the institution was named Trevecca College.
