Seminary in Richmond, Virginia,
Opened the annual spring services of

President of the Seminary.
Dr. Lacy took the theme of liis
talk from Philipians 1:3-21, emphasiz

that your love may bound yet more
and more in knowledge and all judge
ment.” “So many of the tragedies are
due to loving well but not wisely,”
said Dr. Lacy. For this reason, he
said, we should choose wisely a
person who is worthy of our deepest
love; and secondly we should, our
selves, love wisely. And so in the per
son whom we love and the manner
in which we love, we should be sin

heart and soul and strength and
mind, then by following Him, the
“Crystal Christ,” we too shall be
come clear, and radiantly sincere, and
finally to someone-“The Woman (Who
Understands.”
