MISS SABEL Practical Advice “She opens her mouth with wisdom, and the teaching of kindness is on her tongue.” This spring Miss Sabel is retiring after thirty-four years of teaching at Bethel. Missionaries and Christian Workers are thankful for her practical advice, while others find their spiritual life has been deepened through her classes in religious education. During her stay at Bethel she was head of the Bible Missionary and Training School, and taught in the Academy, the Junior College, the Senior College, and the Theological Seminary. It takes more than mere subject knowledge to make a teacher of the quality of Miss Sabel. She has displayed an interest and a personal concern for her students which has endeared her to them all. Although she may leave Bethel’s campus, those whom she has taught and helped will never forget her. Miss Sabel teaching Greek to one of her classes in the seminary. Mr. Engwall outlines part of his day’s lecture on the blackboard. MR. ENGWALL Friendiv Counsel “An honourable counsellor, which also waited for the kingdom of God.” Professor Engwall retires this spring after teaching at Bethel fourteen years. During these years he has taught philosophy, psychology, ethics, sociology, and human geography. His students have appreciated his witty humour and his friendly concern for others. Many students have come to him for counselling and have welcomed the advice of someone who cares about them and approaches their problems with a Christian attitude. Mr. F.ngwall has been in demand in area churches as a speaker, and is well known as a competent Christian psychologist. We are sure that as he goes from Bethel he will continue to be used of the Lord in helping others as he has helped us. 7

IN RETROSPECT A Year at Bethel Seven buildings and a muddy campus — this is Bethel seen by any casual passerby this year. But to those of us who have spent a year or more here, Bethel is much more than that. To us Bethel is an amalgamation of daily chapels and lime cokes, Bermuda shorts and student teaching, missionary offerings and dress up night. This is the Bethel we know and will never forget. This Bethel has been, and is our very1 life for these few months. It all began with registration — those hectic days of filling out forms, checking catalogues and arranging appointments. There were lines to stand in, fees to pay, and last year’s buddies to greet. The freshman felt he needed a college degree to complete registration — perhaps that’s why faculty advisors were handy. There were also many opportunities to meet new friends, especially during the relaxing weekend of Freshman retreat. But this week was over all too soon, and we all settled down to the routine of classes.
