“This missionary meeting…will be remembered with deep interest for many years…Rev. Eugenio Kincaid, re-turned missionary from [Burma], had preached,
depicting with graphic power the signal triumphs of grace in that heathen land, holding the vast auditory intensely interested for nearly two hours and a half. No ordinary man could have safely followed him. Mere reasoning, or learning, or
oratory would have seemed cold trifling. It re-quired a soul, elevated and capacious, burning with love to Christ, and melting with compassion for a
perishing world.”
Perhaps this explains the lasting memory of that plaque, and it is not so mystifying, after all. It is the power of the Lord Jesus Christ working in the hearts of those He came to save from their sins in order to re-unite them to Him, because God so loved the world. It is only by this, His grace, we are saved. (John 3:16; Ephesians 2:8,9)

I was so very blessed to have had a wonderful education at Colgate, and in a beautiful part of our country. Enjoyed both Jill Harsin’s classes and her lovely self, during her first years there.
