Christian fellowship those who have

Such were the foundations ON
which Berea was planted aud grew
up, strengthened by opposition.
And il 30 chanced that ON another
7th day Of September. ia the year
1892, the present Executive. newly
called, met the Trustees aud Faculty
OF Berea College, when a new affirm
alton or pledge was adopted, that il
God would prosper us We would
work for His Kingdom, undertaking
the things that were hard aud that
were opposed by many. From these
joint resolutions We NAV read.
Retrieving the history Of Berea
College we are moved 10 reaiiirm the
principles OF The founders and TO em.
phasize the following facts:
- The fundamental work Of the
Institution is TO furnish Christian
educational advantages Of the best
type. We shall not be able at pres
ent to provide elective courses which
may be desirable for some special
lists but the courses announced in our
catalogue are 20 be adapted tovaried
wants, ample for ordinary education
al purposes. and carried ont according
10 the most approved methods.
80 The realization Of the ideals Of
Christianity as well as of true de
mocracy requires that such education
should be placed within the reach of
all. > = No principle is more i'm
portant than that which requires
that every human being should be
encouraged to make the most Of him
self aud be treated according TO his
attainmenk aud character rather
than according to race or accident of
birth Nor should any be excluded
for lack Of means We pledge our
earnest Efforts To encourage economy
and simplicity in living. and to Sc
cure better opportunities than now
exist, here or elsewhere, for self
supporting students to assist them
selves
20 The aims of Berea are strictly
Christian. They require that each
instructor be person of marked
scholarly attainments and teaching
power, and beyond this. one who has
a Christian experience and a call and
capacity for Christian activity. Ii
would be better that any position
connected with the Institution re-
main vacant than that il should be
filed by one who lacks these qualii-
cations A secular school can only
reflect the average sentiment of the
community, but a Christian school
must be a source of moral power
"ln view of the influence which
Christian teachers can exert, we re-
gard the training of such as an i'm
portant part of cur work.

Let me begin with a word Of cor

This Chapel belongs 10 all who can
use il for spiritual good II is held
in trust only. by the College. Every
seat in il will always be open for ans

Now aud always we are especially
glad 10 have the citizens Of Berea
aud vicinity and the parents and
friends of our pupils meet with us in
this beautiful place. For convenience
in the management Of the school each
student will be assigned 30 a special
seat on the main Hoor, aud none in
the gallery. This leaves the gallery
entirely at TIE disposal Of cur guests
and friends, but any OF them who
prefer seats on the main floor viii be
cordially accommodated We trust
that our Sunday Night Chapel service
will be still greater blessing 10 the
community at large in this place than
il has been in the dear old Taber-
nacle.
II is a most solemn thought that
the hand of man can erect structures
which will long ouilast himself. Ina
England have seen places in which
men had worshipped for six hundred
years where the oak beams looked al
most as fresh as the beams in our
new ceiling today And in the far

wrought il, and il has endured
through all these centuries, And 50
we have a right to believe that the
building which we consecrate this
day may shelter our children's chill
dren to unknown generations.
This is dedication Of very pc
culiar kind. This Chapel cannot
properly be dedicated by us, for it is
not the fruit of our gifts and sacriii-
ces and contributions. The distant
donor, whose prayers are with as to-
day, has performed in her own heart
the act of dedication. We receive
the building. and we receive it in
trust and for the uses of Gods King
dom.
IL is well for us TO consider how it
comes about in Gods providence that
such a building should be erected on
this barren ridge at this time. Why
has it pleased the Lord 10 grant this
prosperity to Berea College, Let
us look al the foundations of this
school and remind ourselves Of the
pledges and promises that were made
TO Him in response TO which these
great gifts and benefactions have

Historical sketch by Prof. T.. v. Dodge.
Prof l.. V. Dodge said, in part:
The history of Berea College and
that of the Church of Christ Union
at Berea have been parallel. They
were merely two forms Of expression
for the same vital purpose of the little
band who threw their lives into the
work % founding and upbuilding
them. In the main the same rooms
hove been used as places of assembly.
But these have beer the property of
the college; and so, in speaking of
College Chapels, we will pass by that
