On January 17, 1908, it was sixty years since the student body of Central Wesleyan College bade 
Dr. Theo. S. Henderson farewell, following a great religious awakening. Dr. Henderson, who later 
was elected a bishop, was, at the time, head of the Methodist Board of Evangelism. So far as we 
can determine, the meetings, held at Warrenton, were the first of the kind, sponsored by his 
department.  Later meetings were held at Warrenton by H.E. Rompel and W.H. Heppe, both of German 
Methodist origin. A product of Iowa Wesleyan and the German College, Dr. Heppe had been a professor 
in the College and a minister of the English-speaking Methodist Church at Mt. Pleasant. The 
Religious Emphasis Week of today is an outgrowith of the meetings held sixty years ago.--Z.F.M.

Explanation of Picture.--Dr. Theo. Henderson, the evangelist, is in the center of the front row, 
where he is flanked by co-eds, who felt especially indebted to him for his insight into their 
religious problems. He is wearing a derby. Dr. Geo. B. Addicks, who was then president of the 
College, is at the extreme left end of the front row. He is wearing a light-colored felt hat. 
Dr. Addicks died only a few years later. He had previously served on the faculty of the German 
College at Mt. Pleasant Iowa.--Z.F.M.
