Department of History N the adventurous pursuit of truth, two fields are open for study, the per- sonal and the impersonal. Each field has its own distinctive values. Scien- tific research has given man increased mastery of his material environment. The understanding of the common adventure of mankind gives an aware- ness of the possibilities and responsibilities of membership in society. In the field of personal relations, where man works under freedom and responsibility, the unfolding of Gods purpose takes place on a wide stage. Mankind at times falls under dark influences which lead to dismal experi- ences. At other times light from God has quickened reason, and great good has resulted. The Christian student and teacher under guidance from the Wo1'd of God are the only ones who may hope rightly to comprehend the meaning of history. It has been said with true insight that Jesus was the greatest teacher because He both widened the interests of His disciples and also deepened their convictions. Through the VVord of God which abides forever He is still b the Teacher who guides the eager minds of His followers at Emmanuel Mis- sionary College inthe search for an understanding of their social heritage as revealed in history. The courses offered in the held of history this year are Modern Europe, Antiquity and Greece, American Nationality, Church History, Political Sci- ence, and the Methods of History Teaching.

Department of Bible HE Bible is the foundation upon which Christianity rests. It is God's revelation to man concerning matters which are of supreme importance in relation to human destinyg and it is the only reliable source of information in this respect. This is why Emmanuel Missionary College gives the Bible first place in its curriculum. Besides the three years' work in Bible given in the Preparatory Depart- ment, the College offers ten courses in Bible study. The study of the wonder- ful prophecies of the books of Daniel and Revelation, which set forth with such vivid coloring the rise and fall of the world's great empires and reveal the work of God's church in its relation to these world powers as well as to the future everlasting kingdom of Christ, covers one year's work. Another year is given to the study of the New Testament Epistles. stress- ing especially such books as Romans and Hebrews, which reveal Gods great plan of salvation through faith in Christ and the relation Christianity sustains to the Old Testament revelationsg Paul's two letters to Timothy which are replete with instruction to the young ministerg and the two letters to the Thes- salonians, which cheer the heart of the Christian with the blessed hope of the second coming of Christ and the resurrection of the dead. In the course in Advanced Bible Doctrines the student is made familiar with the fundamental doctrines of Christianity and the special truths of the third angel's message. The course in Bible Ancestry informs the student how we got our Bible -a very interesting and important subject. lPage Fort y-eightl
