Stewart Albert Newman was a Professor of Theology and Philosophy of Religion and served at SEBTS from 1952-1966. The service opens up with a Scripture reading of Isaiah 55:6-7. Dr. Newman, a Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary graduate, speaks from 0:23-12:22. Dr. Newman preaches on the importance of clinging to what is good and forsaking sin. Newman challenged the students to be faithful throughout their entire ministry and encouraged them that it was a better to lose an eye than to lose one's way in their life. His source text was Matthew 5:29. After Newman finishes preaching the chapel goes over the Seminary covenant as the students rededicate their commitment to the covenant. This takes place from 12:30-21:29
