Chapel was not a dull period in the morning when we were forced to endure a boring sermon. We were blessed by speak- ers from the farthest cor- ners of the earth. Among them was Dr. Leland Wang from China who awak- ened us to the need for missionaries in his home- land. .Lew X st During both of our evangelistic services we had informal meetings at 8:00 o'clock in the main lounge. At this time we were able to talk about our spiritual problems and worries and ask questions which were a great stepping stone for many. John Mosimer had the attention of every student as he gave a chalk talk, The Destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. As our eyes were fixed upon this beautiful picture it made us realize that we have a God who is all-powerful. mme-' , 4.-,Agp-I-O-0 ll' -0'

Glynn Evans Cincinatti pastor Our evangelistic services began dur- ing the second week of school in the first semester. lt was our privilege to have Glynn Evans, from Cincinnati, Ohio, whose practical messages from God's Word were of tremendous inspir- ation to us. With two services during the school day and an informal service in the evening we received iust what we needed to begin the year right. At the beginning of the second semester Warren Wiersbe challenged our hearts and lives with a series of messages which made each of us ex- amine our lives. During the week many came to know the Lord for the first time in a real way. Others learned that the only way to real happiness was spend- ing time with the Lord so he could direct their lives. More than ever, chapel was a time of spiritual refreshment to every student. Each morning at 9:00 o'clock, we each took our respective seats in the chapel where we spent time in Gocl's Word with speakers not only from the United States but many from many other countries as well. Not only did we receive spiritual blessings from the Word, but we were also blessed by outstanding musicians and music groups from this area.

One of the high lights of our chapel services was our privilege to have Chaplain King from the Bridewell prison in Chicago. Our hearts were thrilled as he told us at his many experiences of witnessing. He also gave us his lite story telling us that he had planned to be a rabbi as a young boy because he was a Jew. He told us of his desire to know God and how, after many years of searching he found Him. It was our privilege to hear from Mr. Ford, the father of one of our students, several times during the year. His deep devotion and love for Christ was a real blessing to each of us. Chaplain King gives us a few scriptural passages, which Rev. George Ford Executive Director of We can apply ,O OU, Wgynessgng fo, Him. National Association of Evangelicals Oftentimes we reached into the resources of our own Academy family for our daily inspira- tion. The student body especially enjoyed those services when our own choir brought the mes- sage in song. Because the choir practices in the chapel everyday they were really at home when they had the chance to sing in chapel. Many of us wondered how Mr. Beniamin could get so much out of so little. Mr. Beniamin leads the choir in a few sacred songs which gave us the challenge to use our talents to His honor and glory. FQQH
