Former President Frank Barth and his wife listen to a lecture in the early 1970s.
“Let us go now in peace. We must not stop here. Divine things await us that are more beautiful than words can tell. However sweet these laid up stores, however convenient this dwelling, we cannot remain here. However welcome the hospitality that surrounds us, we are permitted to receive it but a little while. We have God’s work to do. Let us go to do it in peace.” President Frank Barth in a 1973 Commencement Speech
