Creeds and ideologies are accepted, then discarded, with frenzied haste. Nowhere is found assurance of the final meaning of man ' s existence or the relevancy of an individual life. Columbia Bible College is dedicated to Jesus Christ and the Bibli- cal solution to man ' s quest. Only in the Bible can man discover, and in Christ experience, God ' s plan of fulfillment for each individual. We are united in the purpose that this school will produce Christian leaders of the future who will unswervingly live by God ' s Word. A PROLOGUE IS. . . picture glimpses snatched from the flow of campus life, blended into a panorama of our year. But the real record of 1966-67 couldn ' t be photographed. The lessons of Thursday and Friday before the Thanksgiving goal was met, the grace and working of God in individuals, the joy of sharing the Gospel — none of these fit into a camera. May our Lord fit them to the hearts of all who view this book. I I TO MR. WENZEL It is with gratitude and respect that the 1967 FINIAL is dedicated to Rev. Charles Wenzel. Through life and teaching Mr. Wenzel has in- fluenced hundreds of Bible College students to be men and women who live by God ' s Word. Mr. Wenzel, after he was saved in 1939, was called into the ministry while serving overseas during World War II. Completing the Bible Col- lege course in 1948, Mr. Wenzel went on to study at Fuller Theological Seminary. Mr. Wenzel joined the Bible College faculty in 1951 as Greek instructor and Assistant di- rector of Men ' s Christian Service. Since then his popular classes in Greek, Theology, Cults, and Com- parative Religions have drawn stu- dents closer to the Savior he serves. Mr. Wenzel has for years taught the weekly Businessmen ' s Bible Class in Columbia and is presently Chair- man of the Board of Directors of Bethel Bible Camp. For the explicit reason that Mr. Wenzel is an example to each of us as he lives by God ' s Word, we dedi- cate this volume to him.

II Timothy 2:2 BIBLE COLLEGE ADMINISTRATION BOARD OF TRUSTEES Inseparable are the Living and the Written Word. They are one. Columbia Bible College, from its inception, has been committed to the inerrant Scriptures that reveal the incomparable Christ. He himself said, ' The words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life. This Written Word, living and powerful, is more than a subject taught in the classes of the college; it is the life-giving spiritual diet of faculty and students. This living Word, the exalted Man at God ' s right hand, is more than a personage on the pages of history He is the indwelling Christ who gives daily victory and power for service. Columbia Bible College lives by God ' s Word. At this writing, Columbia Bible College is still without a President. A committee of the Board of Trustees is searching for God ' s man to fill the vacancy left by the resignation of Dr. Fleece. Meanwhile, from other parts of the Bible College family, three capable men have been appointed to share the school ' s administrative responsibilities. The chairman of the Board, Dr. Paul Van Gorder; the Dean of Faculty, Rev. James M. Hatch; and the Assistant-to-the-President, Rev. Earl P. Mc- Quay, are those three men. It is with fervent prayer that we uphold these dedicated men, and anticipate the appointment of a new President. Examining plans for the new library FACULTY The training program at Columbia Bible College is based on the conviction that the Lord Jesus is able to make a disciple into a man of God, adequate, equipped for every good work, using the Word of God alone. Thus it is desired that the Lord bring every student to the place where the Word of God is his life. He will then live in the Word as his chief delight, he vi also live by the Word as his standard for belief and conduct, and final- ly, he will live on the Word as the foundation for his faith. Rev.

I Peter 2:2 SENIOR CLASS Senior year, with the horizon close enough to touch, can be a time for uncertainty, for senioritis or senior panic. But the security that stems from knowing that God is working His purpose in us quickly obscures such thoughts. This con- fidence is reflected in the senior theme . . . by love serve one another, taken from Galatians 5:13. As a year-long goal it has united the seniors in the Lord in a special way; and as the class graduates, it sounds a challenge straight from the Word to a life-long service for Jesus.

From God ' s Word came a new goal to match our new status. That is from Colos- sians 1:10, to walk worthily of the Lord, working fruitfully, and increas- ing in the knowledge of Him. Accom- panying this has been the expectation that as we walk worthily as a class, He is knitting the individuals closely together in sincere Christian friend- ship. - m Chase makes haste.

We were met by the legion tasks of a new year, and by a challenge from the Bible: to be holy, as the Lord is holy. The challenge was not to a holiness we could flaunt or pol- ish or inscribe in yearbooks; the challenge was to a holiness of inner life, known and sustained by God. And the year was a year of finding His grace sufficient.

They en- tered school with a vivacity and ear- nestness for Christ that was hard to match. Victories on Skit Night and in the intramural soccer league heralded a group with plenty of promise. Their prayer is that with adjustment behind them their path will lead to advance- ment and accomplishment in the will of God.

They were pleasantly outgoing, en- joying their socials every bit as much as did the undergrads. They were active: sacrificial giving, much time, and teamwork characterized their service projects with Bethel Bible Camp and the Catawba Indians. Their special supper sessions with visiting speakers added a unique touch which proved to us all that Grads really are great people!

Col. 2:6-7 CAMPUS LIFE Campus life 1967— now it ' s a memory. To some it is mostly helter-skelter recollections of prayer meetings, classes, and activities in crowded suc- cession. Others will remember the people with whom precious friendships were formed in the bond of Christ. To many it is the savor of having grown in His Word. All of us cherish at least some of these things, for they were campus life. Peek-a-boo The Man from UNCLE Capacity load — 5 C.B.C. girls! A bachelor ' s best friend Stick to it, Bill! The blizzard of ' 67 SOCIAL LIFE From the informal to the semi- formal, the Student Association ' s social calendar has something for everyone. High points are the Men ' s and Women ' s Open House programs. Among other planned events are Family Fair, Skit Night, and the Student Association Ban- quet. From there individual in- itiative takes over as students en- joy the campus social hour, as well as concerts and recreational fa- cilities in Columbia.

' s athletic program. All students find themselves partici- pating in their favorite sports, whether for P.E. class, exercise requirements, or just plain enjoy- ment. Although the college main- tains no regular intercollegiate competition, it is represented by a team in the City Basketball League, and by a soccer team which meets other area schools. From time to time, tennis tournaments, track meets, volleyball matches, and other special competitive events are also held. incible freshmen!

Not just a slogan, around which to build a yearbook, To Live By God ' s Word expresses a vital lesson God taught our staff. That is, as the months passed, God taught that living by His Word is a practical and necessary reality. We praise God for the riches of this teach- ing, and for the privilege of presenting this book. Kent Washburn, Literary Editor; Kathy Sullivan, Copy Editor Igou Hodges, Business Manager; Martha Gross, Assistant Editor LIBRARY wvyvw e. Glimpse of the future — a new library The Visual Aids room tekw s irgTgs PT ijn More talk than study Perhaps the greatest single evi- dence this year of God ' s wonderful providence has been His provision for a new library. Under God ' s guidance, the Board of Trustees set the annual Thanksgiving Goal at $100,000 for the construction of the much-needed new facilities. On No- vember 25, months of expectation and prayer were climaxed as the gifts of God ' s people met the goal. More precious than mere financial pro- vision, however, were the lessons of His grace, mercy, and faithfulness which He taught as we waited. Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all ye lands. Psalm 100:1 Surely would like a new library. At such times human words fail, and to live by God ' s Word is essential; at such times we must turn to God in love and worship, and to the joy and solace His Word offers. For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words. (I Thessalonians 4:16-18) IN MEMORIAM For the second year as we returned from the Christmas holidays, God, in sovereign love, called home one of our number. In leaving, Georgia Cate left with us all the same sincere testimony of love for Jesus that she had lived since we knew her. In the life of Don Owings, also, we saw the grace of the Lord manifested as he grew with us in the faith. Coming as it did at the end of our Missionary Conference, Don ' s passing impressed upon us the necessity of serving God ' s will in the time which He has given us. MARRIED STUDENTS FINIAL would be incomplete without a section devoted to the Student Association ' s off-campus arm, the married students. Although they are not central in student life, the married students earn our love and respect as they have double responsibilities to families and studies. Behind and beside the married students are their faithful wives, the ladies ' Pi Gamma society. The monarch beckons. Assistant Breadwinner. C.B.C.-Classofl985 Sleepy student sips sugarless Sanka.

Foreign Missions Fellowship F.M.F. sought this year, through various means, the personal involvement of each C.B.C. family member in God ' s purpose of foreign missions. Out- standing programs and speakers kept us informed on modern missions, and brought challenges home to us in personal terms. Student deputation teams were sent out, and a gift goal of $12,000 was set for the German Youth Center. But the heart of F.M.F. was in prayer — consistent, fervent intercession for the progress of the Gospel on foreign fields.

Christian Service Amid the flurry of prayer meetings, classes, and activities it is often hard to keep practical goals in sight. Practical application of theory learned today, and experience to prepare us for tomorrow make Christian Service an invaluable experience. A keynote to this is sounded in Acts 13:36, which des- cribes David as a man who served his own generation by the will of God. Methods vary to meet the situations of today ' s world, yet we are united in spirit and purpose to show forth the Word of God by the will of God. Mr. Petty, Men ' s C. S.

Somewhere, every week, one or more of the three choirs presents the Gospel in song. Each Sunday the Veterans Choir sings and does visitation at the Veterans ' Hospital and Forest Hills Rest Home. Twice a month the Spanish Choir sings at Fort Jackson in Sunday evening services for Spanish-speaking soldiers. The select Ambassador Choir ministers extensively at area schools and churches during the school year. During the semester break and spring vacation the Ambassador Choir sings in a tour schedule of sacred concerts, this year in Atlanta, Georgia, and the Midwestern United States. V JL - Miss Marguerite McQuillan, Alumni Secretary ALUMNI ASSOCIATION To former students of the Bible College, the Alumni Association is a cherished organization, for although students move on to new places, they remain members in spirit of the college family. Among the valuable services of the As- sociation, and its faithful secre- tary Miss McQuillan, are a quar- terly newsletter, organized re- unions, and a placement service. But let ' s not forget the Association ' s members ! Graduates can be found on practically every mission field in the world, while numerous others serve Christ here in the United States. Uniting them all is the C.B.C. Alumni Association through which they keep in touch with the school, and with each other. Rev. T. Gerald Wheatley, Alumni President Building a new church CONCLUSION All scripture is given by inspira- tion of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correc- tion, for instruction in righteous- ness: that the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.
