Excerpt from Chimes, 1943 The B'erea worker has many rewarding experiences growing out of his associations with students in labor situations. One Easter while attending a Tau Kappa Alpha convention in Indianapolis, I learned that, a few years before, a moth er of that city' had inaugurated Easter carols in memory of her only son who had met an early death. And again this year she had trained the boys and girls of her neighborhood for the celebration. Although kept up very late on the night before, and although the singing was to be at dawn and out in the bitter cold, I decided that I must do my little part toward continuing the beautiful custom and thus represent the spirit of Berea in the strange city. As I stood at the S-oldi-ers' Monument, where the choir sang, a young man come out of the monument to play the tubular chimes for the processional, and, 10, it was the old familiar strain, Up From the Grave He Arose. Peering through the mist to catch the expression on the face of the musician, unfamiliarly gowned in a surplice, I recognized a former chimes ringer an-d carol-singer of Berea College! He was carrying on the old tradition, presumably alone in his new home. After the service, as I hurried forward to greet the chimes-ringer, the young man came to meet me, he, too, having recognized a Berea friend. We were known to each other by the customary breaking of bread. Students and faculty who have recently shared the experience of those who have surrendered their college careers to enter the services of our country, can testify to the value our labor tasks have been in keeping up our morale and esprit de corps. Without this absorbing labor what would we have done? About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
