Summary
EPHESIANS iv. 4
One Body. One Spirit
EPHESIANS ii. 21
In whom each several building, fitly framed together, groweth into a holy temple in the Lord
These words meet our eyes every time that we enter this chapel. Their first or immediate purpose as they stand there is to set forth in consecrated language the guiding principles on which the windows and walls of the chapel have been peopled with the forms and names of men of other generations; to set us on the right way for following the arrangement of the various parts which make up the whole; and to suggest to us the thoughts through which they become far more than adornments or curiosities. The words are no mere key to the details of a material fabric. They point rather to that invisible structure of living stones which gathers beneath its roof, holding up to us the highest aspect of the purposes for which our College itself exists. They press upon us the thought of its relation to God's whole purpose concerning mankind. What the texts teach as eternal and unchanging truth is echoed back and exemplified by the message of the walls and windows, by which the College is visibly linked to the spiritual history of Christendom.
It will be worth our while this morning to consider these pregnant words of Scripture in this their application to the lessons of the building in which we meet together for worship. I do not propose to speak singly of the lives or works of the forty men of other days who for one reason or another are commemorated here, full of interest as the recital would in most cases be.
