Over 40 students responded and made confessions of personal weakness and God's greatness Wednesday night after the final lesson presented by John Barton about "Create in me you, Lord." The J.O.Y. service club and Spiritual Life Committee of the Student Association sponsored event was the first full-bodied lectureship at Harding, with lessons beginning Sunday at the regular services of the College Church and continuing each night. Wednesday night's lesson was held before about 1,500 persons in the Administration Auditorium. The week also featured separate classes during the day for women and men.
