A CONTINUING PURPOSE 277
the service were familiar to me. I had prepared a fairly short mes-sage,
knowing that a translator would repeat each sentence in Ko-rean.
Happily, Dr. Lee served as translator. As we progressed through
the message, he repeated each sentence or, in some cases, a num-ber
of sentences in Korean. I had given him a copy of the sermon,
so he was able to anticipate, to some degree, what I would be
saying. It seemed to me that the message went fairly well, at least
Dr. Lee followed each of my statements with his brisk and clear
translation.
As we drove away from the church enroute to lunch I said to
him, "Well, that went fairly well, don't you think?" He replied,
"Actually, I don't know what kind of message you had, but I thought
I had a pretty good one!"
Dr. Lee was a devoted and talented Christian layman. What-ever
happened—whether that congregation heard his message or
mine or a combination of both—the message was not lost, but
found, in translation!
A Card A Day Keeps The Doctor Away
For nearly three quarters of a century Victor and Clara Guthrie
have been devoted and generous supporters of their alma mater. It
is not surprising that they are named in the first paragraph of this
book. Victor is now gone, but Clara continues this tradition of
loving support. They were among the first persons I met in the
early weeks of my work in 1964 as Director of Development. As
our friendship deepened, and I came to rely on them for wise and
insightful counsel and encouragement, I learned how indispens-able
they were to me personally, and to the college. They were
tireless workers in almost all college endeavors, with Vic serving as
leader of Presidential Search Committees, the college's Centennial
Celebration, and much more.
In time I was to learn how deep and untiring their concern for
others really was. I was diagnosed with lymphoma in the summer
