Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Duke Divinity School Review, Vol. 42: Winter, 1977
We thank thee, O God, that thou has called us to serve thee in the work of this school. We remember with gratitude our fellows who labored here to advance the training of young ministers of Christ. We thank thee for the tasks we have been given to do in our time of passage, and the strength to do what we could. Establish thou the work of our hands, according to thy Word; and to thee shall be the praise. Amen. As presiding minister that morning, I was struck by Dean Cannon's prayer. In retrospect, it seemed to me nothing could have been more appropriate. With terse eloquence it said: Sic transit gloria mundi. But, above all, it said: We are a cloud of witnesses in transit, and what it has been given us to invest looks beyond itself for its justification. So it is, and thine shall be the praise world without end. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
