2 One of the privileges atforded Seminary students is that of attending chapel. On Tuesday and Thursday of eaeh week they have the opportunity to worship. Through prayer, singing praises to God, and hearing the messages from Gods Wmird, they gain spiritual strength. Here they can pour out their hearts to God and can prepare themselves for worship. They are ahle to praise the only true God, to worship Him in spirit and in truth: they are ahle to express their joy and hope in the Gospel. They also have the opportunity to hear many speakers already on the field. It is inspiring and encouraging to hear of their experiences in their lahors for the Lord. These services help the students attain a greater zeal for the work for which they are pref paringf-that of carrying the Gospel of Christ to the whole world.

Z3 L mms, Within the student body of The Cincinnati Bible Seminary there may be found much latent talent and ability. Bible Drama Night affords the student an outlet for this storedfup talent, and it also enf courages him to develop what ability he has. Be' cause of the success with which this event has met since it was instituted several years ago, it has be' come a highlight of the Seminary school year. The event is scheduled every year as a part of the school curriculum, and it is usually sponsored by the senior class. The events of the evening consist of three comparatively brief plays, based on the Bible or having a Bible setting, presented by the freshman, sophomore, and junior classes. The senior class, be' ing the sponsor, provides the entertainment for the time elapsing between the plays. judges are selected by the sponsoring class, as are the points of judgf ment. 1. David and Goliath, sophomore class. 2. The Roman Centurion, junior class. 3. The First Passover, freshman class. Last year the top honors of the evening went to the sophomore class, the class of '54, which is now the junior class. Their winning presentation was a play based on the victory of David over Goliath, with Roger Koerner giving a fine performance as David, and Dale Cluxton as the giant Philistine. The praises of the other two classes should not go unsung, however, for they came through with very worthwhile Bible dramas also. This year the junior class was awarded the place of highest honor for a very well presented play. The name of the play was, The Witch of Endorf' The other two classes again contributed much to the success of the evening. We of The Cincinnati Bible Seminary enjoy im' mensely that evening of the year which we call Bible Drama Night. We feel that it deinitely adds to the pleasure and education of the school year. 28
