Will Hogg Speaks
To Students Sat
Rev. Will Hogg noted evangelist
brought a message Saturday morning
in chapel on tho buried dreams in tho
life of each individual. The scrip-
tural basis for his speech was in the
sixteenth chapter .of the Acts'.
"Paul had dreams of holding a
great meeting in Bithynia" "tho
speaker said in part "When God
closed tho door to Bithynia the land
of dreams Ho opened it to Macedonia
tho land of opportunities.
"As was true with Paul so often it
is with us that only "by being robbed
by some things can tho way be opened
for greater assets. The world is run
more by disappointment than by
appointment Resistance barriers to
our plans is necessary for accomplish
ment."
Rev. Hogg stated there are two
kinds of cemeteries In one dead
persons are buried. In tho other in
the heart of each individual lie buried
abandoned and dead dreams.
"Each of those cemeteries is goirig
to bo full" ho said. "Every person will
bury many dreams. Tho cemetery of
buried dreams in each heart will be
well filled."
Emphasizing the folly of fixing all
of our ambitions and efforts toward
gaining earthly possessions and build-
ing earthly houses he stated that tho
other cemetery will be full also be-
cause all mustdlo. "I'm not a fool"
he said "to build my home on an
earthly foundation. I'm going to build
a home in Heaven."
