Proceedings of the Inauguration 
might, and as there comes up before us a great vision of the 
great work which must be done in time to come for God and 
humanity may there come a still greater vision of Thy power 
and wisdom. May our eyes be opened like those of the servant 
of the prophet Elisha in the days of old, and may we see that 
"‘they which be with us are more than they that be against us.'' 
We pray that in all time to come this college may be a foun- 
tain of righteousness ; that it may be a seat of sound learning, 
of Christian learning. May its President and Faculty be men 
who recognize that in studying the laws of mind and of matter 
they are studying the expression of the will of ‘‘God the Father 
Almightly, the Maker of heaven and earth" ; and may the men 
and the women who shall in time to come go out from these 
halls be men and women who shall recognize that the fear of 
the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and that the noblest life 
that mortal man can live is that which is patterned after the 
life of “the man of Galilee." 
Bless, we pray Thee, the benefactors, trustees, the teachers, 
the students of this college, those of the past, of the present 
and of the time to come, and make them all to be efficient serv- 
ants of the Lord Jesus Christ, in whose name we pray, and 
graciously hear us as we say from our hearts
