memoriam Brother Armstrong is no longer with us in person; God has called him home. He was the first president of Harding College and served as its head for twenty-nine years. His service gave the school a pillar of immeasurable strength. He was thorough , longsuffering and fair as a teacher. He was brief, wise and understanding as a councilor. Difficulties were many and trials hard; but he overcame them all as a true Christian. His uncompromising exactness, deep spiritual fervor and simple love exemplIfied what Jesus meant by the greatest being the servant of all. He was studious throughout life and always turned to the Bible itself for his instruction. Through his teaching thousands saw God more clearly and came to a deeper understanding of His word. He worked untiringly to please God and to serve his fellowman. A spirit so great is not dead. It still lives in the lives of thousands whom he has influenced. His picture lingers in the memory of his students. Truly this great and noble character has set us an example which should inspire us to greater achievement in life. - -
