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
