a Described as Symbol Of Faith Divinely Fulfilled Rt. Rev. James De Wolf Perry, Presiding Bishop Of Episcopal Church, Preaches Sermon Commemorating Founding of University of South Sewanee, June 13 -(Special)The Rt. Rev. James De Wolf Perry, Bishop of Rhode Island and presiding bishop of the Episcopal Church, Sunday preached the anniversary sermon commemorating the founding of the University of the South seventy-five years ago, All Saints' Chapel was the scene of the Impressive service.

Bishop Perry took his text from the eleventh chapter of Hebrews, thirteenth verse: "These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims." "It is with sacred memories." Bishop Perry said, "that we have come to this place as on a pilgrimage. For most of you the way 1s one long-traveled and well-known. For me and possibly certain other few it la an experience until today, postponed. But whether the three-quarters of a century which we commemorate this week recall famillar retrospects or unfold them for the first time, the lure and enchantment of the mountain are shared by all alike. One can hardly approach or contemplate Its history without echoing, however unconsciously, the questionWhat is the -secret of Sewanee? To press for a solution is to touch the springs of Inspiration in many a sacred mountain of Greece and Palestine and the more distant East.

The spirit of Bewane is the spirit of prophecy, Yet even to say this is to leave the tion still unanswered. VISION OF FOUNDERS "Shakespeare puzzled the genius of poetry by asking, 'Where is fancy No less has the wisdom of the ages been perplexed by the question, 'Whence prophecy 'Of what does it "Etymologists have analyzed the word; theologians have measured it, leaving the subject bound by careful definition but bereft of the living thing which has eluded them. In the Epistle to the Hebrews an unnamed author has given to his people, who were heirs of the prophets, the meaning. of their heritage. The eleventh chapter 1s hymn of faith addressed to the faithful of all time.

Prophecy is there, depicted for us in vivid form and color as with the brush of an artist, not the scholar's pen. The essence of faith is indeed defined in words unmatched for spiritual insight: "The substance ofthings hoped for, the evidence of things not But the prophet as he appears in the changing form of soldier, preacher, ploneer or mystic. defies analysis. He stands on one or another mountain top of vision, the embodiment of eternal expectation; 85 Moses on Pisgah viewing a land of promise which he was destined not to enter; as Abraham going out not knowing whither, looking for the city of his dreams; AS Balaam on Mount Peor looking toward Jerusalem touched with the light of a morning yet to dawn, 'I shall see Him, but not now: I shall behold Him but not one such height of vision we have come today. Were a modern epistle to describe the epic of Christian Amer1ca, where, if not in Sewanee, should the evidence of heroic faith be found? No voice is needed in this company, certainly not mine, to rehearse the scenes.

It is your own possession. It has gone from your midst to every corner of our land. Yet one must needs come here to see it written as in the outline of the Cumberlands against the sky, to hear the echoes of it as the breath through the pine groves of the valley. HEROIC FIGURES IN CHURCH "They tell the story of the first Bishop of Tennessee, James Hervey Otey, seer in the realm of learning in whose mind the University was first conceived and proposed to the Diocesan Convention of 1832. They tell of the soldier-bishop, Leonidas Polk, who, inheriting the traditions of the struggle for his nation's liberties was heir no less to her religlous and intellectual ideals.

Laying aside for a while the military profession to which he had been trained, he girded on the sword of the spirit, which la the word of God. Missionary and evangelist, bishop successively of seven districts and dioceses in. his beloved: Southland, he enlisted them in strong support of the purpose to build this home of learning and of Christian faith, which, like Oxford in the old world, should combine for the new an education in the classics with the teaching of theology. Then when the clouds of war threatened to obscure the vision, he gave his service and at last his life on the field of battle, still In defense of his high venture and of the land which he had claimed for God. The story goes on to show the heroic figure of Stephen Elliott, first Bishop of Georgia, first in the line of chancellors from whose sagacious rule and godly wisdom the University has gained renown.

Brief indeed were their services in the cause which they held so sacred and so dear. It might seem that some jealous fate had wrenched from them the triumph that had come within their grasp. UNDYING PURPOSE "A purpose, like a soul which lives by faith in God, can never die. Back to the scene of Otey's and Polk's and Elliott's. brave enterprise there came, nine years later, as to holy ground, band of their associates in army and in church- Kirby-Smith.

Major Fairbanks, Tellfair Hodgson, with fourteen students, to build again, simply yet permanently, the University of the South. They came under the leadership of the Vice-Chancellor Charles Todd Quintard, successor of Bishop Otey in the Diocese of Tennessee. "The courageous spirit which has pervaded this institution from its beginning Issued from the fortitude that could turn to rich account the limited material at its command. No less has the rare quality of scholarship been fostered and protected here by the common understanding gained only in a household of thought and of falth. The strength of Sewanee, never confused with a display of fabric or glamour of numbers, is measured by the hold that it has laid upon the lives of individuals dedicated to the quest of truth.

Hopkins on the other. or those who once studied at Sewanee It might be said that a course in theology at its best was to contemplate the outlook from the mountain with William Porcher DuBose beside him as interpreter. The conception of teacher as guide, philosopher and friend has been the unbroken tradition preserved by the successors of Dr.

DuBose and his associates. What wonder that from such relation between minister and people there should rise to crown this mount of vision a school of prophets, pointing the way through sacred fellowship to paths of discipleship, resulting finally in world-wide leadership. PRODUCT OF UNIVERSITY would wish--I should personally wish. but shall forbear to call the roll of Sewanee men who have taken places as bishops and priests, pastors and teachers in the church. It is a list to thrill the heart of everyone who holds this university in honor and affection.

It is glorious with names that adorn the history of state and church in civic and in military life. in halls of government and in the world of letters. The names, however, are significant not chlefty for their number nor for the stortisa reined. dem- Bonus Army Is Watching Legislation Ragged Army of 17,000 Waits for Congress to Pass on Huge Payment Washington, June 13-(INS) -Ragged, wet, and restless, 17,000 World War veterans living mostly In a city of wood and paper sheds today watched the opening legislative in a modern siege seeking $2,400,000,000 of the Government.

Such was the ideal which inspired the founders of university before our country had this been swept by the passion to popular1ze education and thus often to debase 1t-these men lifted the standards to levels which invited both' ance and reverence. An early address of the commissioners, Bishop Polk and Bishop Elliott, declared that 'the highest scholarship is never sought save by a limited number of persons. A lesser amount of knowledge is all that the vast majority desire.

It is of God and not of man: It may not be seen in its completion by the eye of the historian nor can it be measured by any standard that men may devise.
