Prom The Faculty Y OUR Lord would have you prepared. I once heard a man say that if he had but five minutes in which to shave he would spend three of them in preparation. Men wait for some one prepared, of a clear vision, and of a pure heart, to bring them the Message of Life. Preparation must be Particular. ln preparation for Medicine, men do not spend their years in the study of Agriculture, nor does a candidate for the field of Engineering take a full course in Pharmacy. Yet all too often the Ministerial Student studies everything else but the Bible. You are to be congratulated, Dear Seniors, that you have chosen a Biblical preparation. Preparation ought to be Public . You could not in a life time of private study acquire what you have gained here in three short years. Some of God 's greatest servants, past and present, have come into the Field without formal training. Most of these men would advise you to get all a Bible Institute has to offer. Preparation must also be Private. Some of the most precious lessons can never be gained in any School Room. Your body and mind must have private preparation. Your human spirit must breathe the ex- hilarating air in the Highlands alone with God. , Preparation at best is only Potential. Never consider yourselves fully prepared. Keep working, keep adding to your store of knowledge, always be a Student. For you, Dear Seniors, this is but Commence- ment. Preparation must be Prophetic. You are making preparation for Q- 2 life, its long battle-day, its labors, its demands. You carry the evangel of life, of hope, and of peace. lf a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honor, sanctified, and meet for the master's use, and prepared unto every good work. To The Pacult F OR your faithful deliverance to us of the Word of God and for the countless other ways in which you have helped us in our preparation for the Lord's service, we give our sincere thanks and Christian ap- preciation. We cannot praise God enough for the blessings we have received at our beloved School be- cause of your labors of love. . Your lives have truly been examples of the believer in every way. ln your classes, we have received valuable instruction which we will carry with us all ourlives. We have been taught how to present Christ effectively -to all people in every situation. Your spiritual lives have challenged us to draw closer to the heart of God. The love and understand- ing that each of you have shown to us have aided us in many ways. We have been inspired to seek the will of God and let Him direct our paths. Only Eternity will reveal the full extent of your ministry. We know that you have sacrificed greatly in order that we might be taught the Truth. Your devotion to Christ and His call was greater than all other needs. Humility has been an outstanding characteristic of your lives. Truly they have shown forth the fruits of the Spirit at all times. You have not only prepared us in our studies here for future service, but you have opened up many fields for future study that we might show ourselves approved unto God. As you continue to labor here for Him, our prayers are for you that God will use you to the highest ex- tent for the honor and glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. May the present student body and those to come be enriched by your ministry as we have been. Sponsored through the courtesy of A. l.. WATERS FRANK ENTERLINE 95 Franklin St. WOODROW TEATS Sunbury, Pa.
