Haste then on from grace to glory, armed by faith,& winged by prayer.Heaven’s eternal day’s before thee,God’s own hand shall guide thee there.Soon shall close thy earthly mission,swift shall pass thy pilgrim days.Hope soon change to glad fruition,faith to sight,& prayer to praise.

- “Recreations are not education; accomplishments are not education. Do not say, the people must be educated, when, after all, you only mean, amused, refreshed, soothed, put into good spirits and good humor, or kept from vicious excesses.”.—John Henry Newman (1801–1890).

It was a blessing to see another of our @UnionSTM students, Taylor Hill, ordained to gospel ministry this evening and to hear the charge from my former youth minister who meant so much to me, Bill Kisner
