"Past Campus Revivals
Have Been Successful"
With the words "campus re-
vival" ringing in the air students
began to wonder about the re-
vivals that have been experienced
on the H-SU campus in years
past.
"One of the most strategic
most timely of any I can remem-
ber" are the words Dean W. C.
Ribble used to describe a revival
held in the spring of 1946. He
recalled that the chapel was be-
ing remodeled then and the
morning services were held in
the Corral which is now the
ROTC Armory. Dr. Harry Stagg
now the Executive-Secretary of
the Baptist General Convention
of New Mexico was the speaker.
G. I.'s Played Major Part
It was at the time when the
G. I.'s were coming back from
the war and there were well over
900 of them on the campus. Many
of these men had been hardened
by their experience in combat
and were therefore resistant to
the evangelistic effort. Dean Rib-
ble said that one morning Dr.
Stagg preached a marvelous ser-
mon. Some of the boys came
forth and sat there a little bit
and asked Dr. Stagg if they might
give a testimony.
One made tihs observation:
"You're sitting out there and you
know that when you were on a
flight bombing Berlin and the
flak was flying around you so
thick you could almost walk on
it you promised God that if He
would just bring you back alive
you would serve Him. You know
you haven't done it."
In Dean's words "They started
falling oiit of those bleachers at
that and we had a revival that
literally saved Hardin-Simmons'
campus."
Marshall Holds Revival
Dr. R N. Richardson recalled
another'revival one that was held
during the war in which Rev.
J. W. (Bill) Marshall state Bap-
tist Student Union secretary was
the speaker. Although the ser-
vices for the meeting were sched-
uled to en don Saturday the stu-
DO THEY RESENT HER?
For the first time at the Uni-
versity of Oregan there's a house-
mother in a man's dormitory. Mrs.
Katherine DePue who was for-
merly a fraternity housemother
in Maryland says it's too early
to tell if the men resent her pre-
sence in the dorm.

dents insisted that he stay on.
Thus the revival was held over
and concluded with an outstand-
ing service on Monday.
In his recent chapel talk Prof.
J. E. Burnam mentioned a re-
vival that Dean Ribble also re-
membered. The February 191927
issue of the Simmons Brand re-
lated its story. The meeting last-
ed for nine days and was con-
ducted by Rev. Bob Baucom a
1923 graduate of Simmons Uni-
versity. Commenting on the Wednesday
morning service President San-
defer called it "the greatest spir-
itual hour that Simmons has ever
witnessed."
Service Lasts Three Hours
That service lasted for three
hours but in that length of time
two factions in the school were
united and expressed a great de-
sire to work together rather than
against each other as they had
been doing for years.
The success of that revival lay
"behind the scenes." Three pray-
er meetings were held daily in
Abilene Hall; one was held in
each of the girls' halls; Wednes-
day at 1:10 the parlor of Fer-
guson Hal was overflowed for
a prayer meeting; and five boys
stayed- in the campus workshop
prayer until 2:30 a. m.
Entire Faculty Touched
On the last day of the meeting
the entire faculty filed down to
the front stating that they would
do more .than ever before to aid
in the spiritual welfare of their
students.
As Rev. Baucom stated "This
great meeting is not to be won-
dered at because we find the
president and faculty members
believers in the Bible from Gen-
esis 1:1 to Revelation 22:21."
Early Revival Recorded
Even further back than that
there was another interesting re
vival. It is told in the autobiog
raphy of Rev. John P. Hardesty
the father of Mrs. Maurice Mar-
tion. This revival took place dur-
ing his student days here between
1908 adn 1912.
The evangelist was Mordecai F.
Ham. Some of his statements
were challenged by a member
of the college faculty. After ten
days of harrangue which brought
no results Ham announced to teh
faculty and student body- one
morning that he was through. He
was going to grab his hat and
leave. He was going to give them
up for good.
At this a young lady in the
rear of the chapel arose and said
"Brotner Ham you may give
these students up but I won't. I
know them and love them. I'm
going to go on trying to lead
them to Christ.''
