G. D. Wiles Chapel at Newber ry College Sunday afternoon. The Rev. Fred E. Dufford, D D , chairman of the Board of Trustees, preached the dedica tory sermon, using as his sub- joct "A Tent For The Body And A Temple For The Soul.” He called for tho Chapel to be a “place where youth will come alive to Cod alive to one's higher self and alive to the iii'eds and claims of others." The sneaker said that there must be times when all of us stumble into the presence of Cod. hut here we hope to lead mir youth into the presence of God. “1 lore we hope t hat all who conic to worship wili see the horizon of the Eternal,” Dr. Dufford said. “We want this Chapel and the services that are to be held here to in spire and stimulate the instinct for the highest peaks. The greatest danger for most of us is not that we aim too high and miss it, but that we aim too low and reach it." Greetings were brought by the presidents of the three synods of the Lutheran church in America which own and sup port Newherry College, and from the Rev. E. Eppling Rein- artz, I).D., president, Lutheran Theological Southern Seminary and Fred Schott III, president, Luther League of the Luther an Church in America, and a recent graduate of Newberry (’ollcgc.

"It is a firm demonstration of the (act that Newherry College accepts what the church be lieves to he the goal of Christ ian higher education—the edu cation of the soul,” he said. The Rev. Royall A. Yount, D.D., president, Florida Synod, said that the Chapel stands as a tribute to God, and called it “a tool by which one may come to know Him more intimately.” Dr. Reinartz said that the ( hapei will he a blessing to Newherry College students and ultimately benefit those who enter the seminary and later become ministers. Schott com mented on the multiple uses of the Chapel as a place for sec ular meetings, popular concerts and dramas, and said “the Ford that is here worshipped is the Ford of all expressions of life.” The Rev. Harry Weber, chap lain, was the officiating mini ster, and the Rev. Robert C. Early vice president for devel opment, conducted the service of dedication and naming.
