The Gavelyte VOL. IX. JULY, 1915 NO. 8 FUTURE CEDARVILT,E. Harken, 0 ye people to a voice that comes from out the far- reaching fntu1·c. I sat in the windows of I'hilosophie Hall at Cedarville and heard the students sing-: · As they Wt're singing, I noted an old nian coming ;;[o,dy and "·ith feeblt> steps, down the street. As he approached the 1'.l'OWd I noticPd they formed two lines. One on each Fid(l of th!: s'.reet. I was struck with wopdcr. nut, as he came still closer, my wonder was changed to admirathn and joy. For I now observed a head whose hairs· were whit<'ncrl hy the snow~ of many winters; eyes, dark and yet brig-ht w.;th pienfo.cr truth; and a face on which ihe Great Creator lutd stamped the marks of sincel'ity, faith, hope arid charity. . . Then I recognized one who throngh the lo11g· journey of life had ,vrought wonderful work, by his patience, faithfulness .and sincerity in impartin,;-, not so much the book lessons, but the great lessons that c·ount out in life's great b~ttle; whos<> iriftuence had gone, not only into every state in tJ:,is 11nion of oL,rs, hut in';o every country oI th~ western hemisphere; yes, and it has crossed the g1·eat expanse of water to every nation. Great does this so 1 md. But, my dear friends, thi1, is far too limited a. view. A,; I look again into the past, I see that his influence had g-on0 so far as t(l send many across the sea of eternity into the Haven of God's eteJ·r>itl resting place and to walk the streets of gold. . As I watched the faces of these' yoatbs ligbl up as he approach- rd, I could not help but think that in tl1<e very bottom of each heart there was joy and appreeiation beyond the descriptive powers of 1 on1.,rue or pen. Why, you may aRk? Because now, .on the campus, in. place of one little bu~ldinp,:,. sta~dl elevE'n lar~e ones i!1 the sh~pr of a large letter C. F1rRt, snmd1ng on a horizontad hne nmnm;:t norLh an<l south, and forming· the bP-ginning of the: C. stands Philo- sophic Hall. \Vithin its ,valls thP ?;reat pmblems of Philosophy and v{.-- Mc!jp'1,.,sics arc unfolded.
