Houghton, Dr. Smith said he was "not a super intellect or an administrative genius ... not a shrewd financial manager ... orator ... not even a competent writer." Examining Mr. Houghton's life to learn why he is remembered, Dr. Smith noted his affirmative personal response to the , his careful following of Christ's example of selfless his recognition of personal weaknesses and total dependence on the Holy Spirit. Dr. Smith con- cluded that in order "to society with life and meaning, we will do well to follow Houghton's example. We are debtors with an obligation to share the great we have received."
