()CATION A parade of colors went by as the professors ofCedarville College took heir places on stage for the eigh- teenth annual convocation exercises on September 24, 1998. Convocation is a time in which the college family gathers together during the chapel hour and celebrates the beginning ofanew school year. Allofthe professors display theirown caps,gowns,and hoods for the occasion. This year's events were highlighted by several arrangements performed by Dr. David Drullinger, remarks by both Aca- demic Vice President Dr. Duane Wood and College President Dr. Paul Dixon, and finally the Fall Bible Conference speaker, Alistair Begg. The message was a continuance of his series entitled,"My Times are in Your Hands." He based this series on Psalm 31:15. Beggchallengedlistenerstorealizewho the Christ they proclaim really is,"He is a Prophet,Priest and King." Although Begg encouraged tolerance in some areas,he expressed his beliefthat particularity is unavoidable in the lives of Christians. He also encouraged both students and faculty to "seize the moment" and "de- clare the cross." Dr. Clifford Johnson closed the event with a benediction andDr. Drullinger played the recessional to Glorious Things ofThee are Spoken.
