Readers will greatly benefit reading this book's forerunner SO MUCH
WATER SO LITTLE WOOD for they play in contrasting milieus of
maladministration and usually well administered milieus of the
financial and other worlds. The American Association of Universty
Professors deserves praise for its penetrating light on that book's
milieu benefitting employees and other educational institutions for
future years. Professions have their unique vocabulary and idioms
of wisdom as does the investment business. Its truth will be
summarized. Business flourished for me. Ruth and I could vacation
and travel - a more pleasant life. Sorrow struck. Ruth had
developed small brain aneurysms and died within four days. Two and
a half years later I married Janice Seybolt Morton, a widow with
two young daughters. Life went on. And Princeton Seminary?
Purposely locked in a forget corner. Then my phone rang. The same
student who wanted a copy of my prayer decades ago, now Seminary
Archivist, looked for my file, but it was forever assigned to
trash. "I still have your prayer," he said. He came for three days,
asking questions and recording my answers. He unlocked the corner.
I had portraits of five deceased, outstanding former colleagues at
Princeton painted for the Seminary, and eventually established
endowments for scholarships and distribution of Bibles in South
Africa, together with liberal contributions for a new library.
Graciously the Seminary dedicated a lecture room in the new library
for me on October 22, 2013. This book fulfills my dream of tribute
to several of my friends at Pretoria University dedicating their
lives to the Kingdom of God. They are all long gone now, one fifty
years ago in 2013, but to all applies the inscription on Johannes
Petrus Potgieter's grave stone at his mission station Rivoni: "THOU
THEY WERE DEAD, YET SHALL THEY LIVE."
