QUE OU. S LU2 go .ZLUEQ Life Begins With the Acceptance of JESUS CHRIST AS LORD AND SAVIOUR He that hath the Son hath Lifeg and he that hath not the Son hath not Life. I john 5:12.

BEGIN TO LIVE NOW! Behold, now is the day of salvation. -II Cor. 6:2. MOTHER DAVIS , AS WE KNOW HER fContinued from Page 71 Full of the Spirit. This has been the secret of her beautiful life. The fruit of the ,Spirit has been manifest for all to see. Full of Grace. One outstanding char- acteristic of Mrs. Davis is graciousness. Naturally of a retiring disposition, she has developed the ability to meet every situation in the right way. She has both natural and spiritual grace. Full of Power. All have influence but not all have power. Power comes from God in lives yielded to Him. Stephen's power was seen in miracles. Mrs. Davis' power is power over young lives, because she, her- self, is a miracle of God's redeeming grace. Full of Light. Stephen's face shone with the light of heaven and so does Mrs. Davis'. Stephen looked by faith to Christ and His glory filled his being: so also it is with Mrs. Davis. Full of the Scriptures. This is another secret of her life. Faith comes from the Word. There could not be these God-like qualities apart from the Word. When Faith failed then new faith was received by go- ing to the Word. Full of Courage. For many years courage has been evident in her life. Taking care of small boys, while her husband was absent in the Lord's work required courage. To go forward in the face of discouragement, persecution, and loneliness has required courage. This the Almighty God has given her. Full of Love. Surely the love of Christ has filled her being, as exemplified in her kindness and her thoughtfulness of others. There are many other passages of Scrip- tures that apply to her life, such as: Prov. 31:30, A woman that feareth the Lord, she shall be praised. I Pet. 3:3, 4, Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorn- ing-but let it be the hidden man of the heart-even the adornment of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price. Mrs. Davis would be the last one in the world to claim any of these virtues, because she has a meek and quiet spirit,-meekness is her crowning grace. Thank God for Mrs. Davis. May the Lord spare her to us till the Lord Jesus comes. May the closing years of her life be the most blessed of God. Pray without ceasing. I Thess. 5:17. Page Fourteen

REV. GORDON C. DAVIS wz Q-Dissident We, the Class of 1947, can -ever thank God for Dr. Gordon C. Davis. As we look back over the years, we realize that the blessing he has been to us began with our first correspondence with him before we entered P.B.T.S. Our Heavenly Father must be pleased as He sees the faithful leadership of this one to whom He has entrusted so many for blessed instruction in the things of God. In the classroom Dr. Davis has given us forceful teaching mixed with kindly advice, borne of experience and study. We have learned from many chapel serv- ices his high regard and utter dependence on prayer as the foremost line of action and service for our Lord. The president of P.B.T.S. is God's man in God's place of labor, bearing burdens and gaining vic- tories as the day brings them forth. Outside of class and chapel Dr. Davis has been patient, understanding, inspira- tional, and spiritually a blessing to us as individuals. In these days of uncertainty and tur- moil in the whole world, spiritual as well as material, it has been a benediction to hear him say, God is still on His throne. We feel that it has been a great privilege to know this great man of God and to be under his ministry for these past three years. We wish God's continued and abundant blessing upon him and his work. -By Arthur Meadows. With God all things are possible. --Matt. 19:26. Page Sixteen
