Gqfffecfionafafgj Qbscficafec! BY THE CLASS OF 1947 TO REV. H. H. WAGNER, D.D. It gives the Class of 1947 great joy to dedicate this Theologue to one who has faithfully served God for more than half a century. Through your teaching we have learned to sanctify the Lord God in our hearts , and to be ready always to give an answer to every man who asketh of us a reason of the hope that is in us with meekness and fear. We praise God for the Theology you have taught us. Your dispensational teaching has endless worth in our prospective fruitful ministry in His vineyard. Your untiring faithfulness in striving to rightly divide the Word of truth, causes us to realize our responsibility to study the BOOK more prayerfully. Because of this challenge we affectionately dedicate to you this 1947 Class Theologue, praying that you will continue serving Him in His strength, which 'is sufficient. God bless you! -By Helen Anderson. Looking for . . . the glorious appearing of . . . our Saviour Jesus Christ. Titus 2:13 Page Four

651646 9315-eminent GREAT POWERS IN SMALL PACKAGES By REV. WILLIAM S. HAWKS, A.B., Th.B., D.D. A Christian worker is not established in a locality very long until he becomes quite aware of some definite ground to be taken for the Lord. He is prone to look around and endeavor to gather public sentiment for his cause. But, alas, vain is the help of mang others see the need also but refuse to act. Shall a Christian settle back and wait for an impressive backing before he advances the Lord's cause? No, it pleases God to take the weak things of the world and confound the mighty-the things that are not to bring to naught the things which are. We must study Scriptural Arithmetic: Josh. 23:10, One man of you shall chase a thousand for the Lord your God, He it is that fighteth for you as He has promised you. Two shall put ten thousand to Bight, Deut. 32:30. In the same ratio three could put one hundred thousand to tiightg four-one million: five-10 milliong six- one hundred milliong seven-one billiong eight-ten billion, and now you have more people than the world contains. This ex- plains why our Lord Jesus Christ could expect to propagate the Gospel throughout the world with only twelve Apostles. Only twelve? Why, they represented enough Spiritual power to overcome two worlds the size of ours. There is no wisdom, nor understanding, nor counsel against the Lord. Prov. 21:30. The atom bomb also helps us to under- stand multiplied Spiritual iniinities through the multiplied powers of unclear fission. In a sense the five loaves and two iishes were merely seven food bombs in the hands of the Master. Jesus knew the secret of releasing large supplies from small sources, as some men know the secret of the atom bomb. Well, the secret of the Lord is with them that fear Himg and He will show them His covenant. Ps. 25:14. God's covenant is of more consequence than an agreement made with a combina- tion of men. Let us not waste time, therefore, bewailing our lack of re- sources. Let us rather look into the secret of God. John the Baptist might have said, Lord, I'd rather preach in the temple at Jerusalem. But God would have said, No, John, I'll show you the secret of drawing the crowds down into the wilderness. When John saw how well it worked, he said, Less and less of John, and more and more of Christ. That in all things He might have the pre-eminence. Colossians 1:18 Page Five
