DAVIS No life can be lived without influencing the lives of others - either to their ediiication or ,to their degradation. Your life has been one of consistent seliiess- ness and devotion. To these characteristics have been added a deeply spiritual element immeasurably increasing the evaluation of your iniiuential power. We, the Class of 1961, have had the privilege of profiting under the influence of your life. We cannot soon forget the personal effect this has had for each one of us. However, the true test of our appreciation is yet to come. As we leave this school for the places God has chosen for us, the results of your influence will be applied in a practical manner. That which we have learned through your dedicated life will be utilized in the training and iniiuencing of others. We are sincerely grateful and very thankful to the Lord for the opportunity of having known you, Mrs. Davis.

ounders DR. AND MRS. JOHN A. DAVIS Dr John A. Davis and his beloved helpmeet, Etta Carr Davis, were two servants of God who manifested their great loyalty and dCV011i0I1 to the Master by their sacrificing of time, material things, and home life fOr the furtherance of the Practical Bible Training School. They were a couple who could say, I have one passion: it is Christ and Christ alone. To Dr. John A. Davis was given the vision of the school, while back of him, helping to make the vision a reality was Mrs. John A. Davis. These two formed a perfect team, working together in all things for the honor and glory of Jesus Christ. This great teamwork was portrayed in all their activities for the Lord. Dr. John A. Davis was a man of faith - living a life wholly consecrated and yielded to his Master. No sacrifice was ever too great for him to make for the school or one of its students. No obstacle ever deterred him from pressing forward to accomplish the vision that was given him. Mrs. John A. Davis was a faithful companion to her husband. She followed him and sacrificed with him as he gave his all to carry out the vision that God had given him. Mrs. Davis knew what it was to endure trials, burdens, dis- appointments, and heartaches. Her consecrated life of prayer gave her strength for these times. These two servants have gone to be with the Lord. The Practical Bible Training School stands as a memorial of their faithfulness and consecration t0 God. That which has been built in the lives of the graduates, as they have been trained to preach and teach, continues on in the lives of those whom they reach. We honor and remember them because their lives stand as a demonstration of what God can do through lives completely yielded to him. Courtesy of: DR. and MRS. GORDON DAVIS
