eld Sept. 28. His health had been
failing for several years, first from

trouble, and later from an automo-

Holmes Leaves Impression
by Sara Chadwick
Southwestern's fall 1964 Christian
life Convocation Lecture Series was
presented September 22-24 by The
Rev. William A. Hoimes, pastor pf
the Northaven Methodist Church in
Dallas.
Each year die University brings
to the students and faculty outstand
ing lecturers and speakers of ex-
ceptional ability . This series of lec-
tures is made possible by gifts pre-
sented' annualy and- endowment
fundis established by individuals and
groups interested in the school.
/Mr. Holmes is not a stranger to
the Southwestern community. He
spoke here last year ait Wednesday
night Challenge and Thursday morn-
ing Chapel and was praised by
those who heard and later talked
with him. His topic tor this year’s
seiTnlcxns was “Living in the Ines-
capaMe”.
Speaking in t: * tt:.1 at 10 a.m.
Tuesday tbr . gi Thursday, Mr.
Holmes addressed his speeches to
three areas of vital concern to to-
day’s college student. He Spoke on
4‘The Inescapable Question qf God”,
“of Christ”, “of the Church”.
' «
His first message dealt with the
authentic, undeniable existence of
God, which indicates we discuss life
as we are edited to live it now, in
ening power with whom this rendez-
vous takes place. He declared that
judgment-mercy shatters all illu-
sions and brings with it the Christ
Event. The coming of this Event,
he said, reveals a new perspective
and insight on life itself. Of the
definition of the Christ Event, The
Rev. Holmes revealed, “It’s a
claim, it's an offense, and finaly
it’s a decision.”
Thursday’s sermon centered a-
round the question of whether or
not man can live in this real world,
with the realization that nothing ir
this world spells finite security. Mr.
Holmes tried to convey the idea
that the Church embraces this life-
in all its fimtude and challenges
us to live within the understanding
of life the Church speaks of. Jesus
he said, brought to the community
of the church the “I am” concept
iim, nii nfi, ^ g. S ■ ni )»I
of self-understandling. Christ gave to
man the Knowledge that he is sus-
tained in h:s very being.
Mr. Holmes, called by Dr. Dur-
wood Fleming “one of the van-
guard of interpreters of the faith”,
brought a tiiought-provoking and
memorable message to the campus.
He will be remembered for his con-
tribution tc bur community of learn-
ing.
