Lions Club Hears PC
Proxy Weersing
“The only counter-force to our
revolutionary world is the person
who uses his mind,” Dr. Marc
Weersing, president of Presbyter
ian CoUege, told the CUnton Lions
Club Friday night in his first
Clinton appearance since assum
ing the reins of the local college.
Weersing, with some two weeks
under his belt as head of PC, ad
dressed the Lions at the Hotel
Mary Musgrove on “Christian
Higher Education in a Revolu
tionary World.” He was intro
duced by George Comelson, a
member of the PC board of trus
tees.
Seldom do behavior and belief
get together in our world of to
day, he said, resulting in an
acute need for Christian higher
education.
Noting revolutions in the social,
political and religious lives of
people in the United States, with
many inherent pressures, Weer
sing said that there is a need
for revelation and reason.
Speaking of the political revo
lution in the U. S., Weersing said
that the present administration
“. . . represents the willingness
of the American people to submit
to a strong centralized govern
ment.” He decried the recent su
preme court decision concerning
prayer and Bible reading in pub
lic schools as a threat of minor
ity rule over majority.
He said there is a need for
balan cebetween science and sal
vation.
“The compulsive challenge of
Christian education,” he said
“is to give the student an un
derstanding of his place in life
and a sense of commitment anc
dedication.
“I’d rather a student do one
thing with a purpose instead of
everything for no good reason,
he stated.
