Canadian Mennonite Bible College - Yearbook (Winnipeg, Manitoba Canada)

Text from Pages 1 - 58 of the 1955 volume:

1955 Foreword It affords us great pleasure to present to you “C.M.B.C. ’55.” It is by no means a complete picture of life at C.M.B.C., but we trust that it will give a glimpse of that, which we here, cherish so highly. For those who have pursued the path of knowledge here, this record will no doubt call back numerous pleasant memories. To those of you who are anticipating coming here we believe it will be an encouragement. To the present student body, it will serve as a brief resume of 1954-55 now, and as a treasure in later years. To all we wish God’s richest blessing. Widmung Den Gliedern unserer Kanadischen Konferenz, die dieses Bibel College ins Leben gerufen, und dasselbe betend und gebend unterstiitzt haben, sei dieses Bueh in Liebe und Dankbarkeit von der Studentensehaft gewidmet. Stand Fast “Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong.” 1. Cor. 16:13. These words, spoken by the apostle Paul, could well serve as a motto to the graduating class of the year. Watch ye. It is the special desire of the enemy of our souls to deceive those who have had special training for the Lord’s work. Peter had had three years of such special training with the Lord Himself, but he failed because he forgot the Lord’s command, “to be watchful.” For the sake of ourselves and of those whom we may influence it is doubly important to be alert and watchful. The influences that militate against our life are often so subtle that we may not even be aware of them ourselves. Stand fast in the faith. As those who have spent three years in a Bible college we should in the Faith know what our faith is and also why we have accepted it. There is, however, the need of be¬ coming even more firmly established in the faith, so that our spiritual convictions are con¬ stantly growing in depth and in power. This is especially necessary in a world where there is so much confusion and uncertainty concerning the basic meaning of life, and the fundamental truths of our faith. Quit yourselves like men, be strong. The Chris¬ tian ideal of manhood is not the same as the ideal of the world. The Christian ideal is ex¬ pressed in the words of Joshua, “Be strong and of good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed; for the Lord thy God is with thee withersoever thou goest.” May the consciousness of the Lord’s abiding presence be the source of strength for our grad¬ uates in whatever path the Lord may direct them. 8 General Treasurer Instructor of German Language and Life of Christ Instructor in Social Science, English Literature and Church History David Janzen John D.

F I l! mm II 9 , 28 PRESIDENT ' S MESSAGE Unity in Christ Education places at the disposal of its students scientific, theological or philosophical jargon which serves as a mode of expression for the student of any one of these same fields of learning. The Bible college student, thoroughly saturat¬ ed with idioms and words selected from theo¬ logical language, eagerly approaches the biology student and, willing to flaunt his new-found knowledge, says: “Do you hold to the dichotomist or trichotomist viewpoint of man?” The biology student, somewhat taken aback, decides to counter with similar weapons. “Do you think Dobzhansky’s organismic theory is superior to previous interpretations?” Both step back—here is no common ground! One has the theory of the psychical, the other of the physical. “But wait! You must be a Christian,” says the one. “Why yes!” Exclaims the other, and the accom¬ panying exchange of confessions reveals that where before was division there now was unity. If Christianity means similarity of thinking and channelling of all learning along certain lines then it is doubtful, because of present diverse opinions, as to who is the Christian. God is to be thanked that Christianity does not mean uniformity of expression, dress, custom or theory but is based on fellowship with Christ (a fact) and with other Christians. The unity of love which Christ prayed for is the only true basis for restoration of fellowship. Although interactive discussion is necessary for growth, it need not become a theological battleground whereby hatred and strife prevent this true Christian fellowship. With this in mind it would not be out of place to strive for a unification of our own widely diversified Mennonite Church so that we could present a united front to the world and testify as did the early Christians of whom it was said, “see how they love each other.” 29 STUDENT COUNCIL Joe Neufeld, vice-president George E. Janzen Louise Wiens, secretary Mary Rempel Nick Dick, president Anna Neufeld Rev. I. I. Friesen, faculty adviser Why Have a Student Council? Why have a student council? After all you have a faculty at college—is it not capable of coping with the problems and complications associated with college life? Perhaps some of you have been plagued with a similar interrogation. Yes, we have a faculty, an excellent one too, but we also have a student government, which co-operates with the faculty. Whereas the faculty concerns itself mainly with the scholastic aspect of student life, the primary concern of the council is the life of the student on the campus. It is the task of the council to foster and direct a wholesome, enriching and balanced program of activities for the students. No one needs to be a mental acrobat to realize too that, with a large “College Family” many problems arise. Therefore we need a coun¬ cil to detect these and find feasible solutions for them—solutions which take the total student body into consideration. Excellent training possibilities in administra¬ tion, is another reason for having a council. Here future leaders of our churches receive valuable experience in dealing with matters which may be analogous to those of other in¬ stitutions such as the Church or School. In condensed form, we could say that the student council is the “conscience” of the student body. How this conscience interprets principles or dictates policies for the other organs of the body depends upon the individual council members. The “principles system” of governing the behaviour of the students rather than an explicit system of do’s and dont’s is followed. We feel this is a unique arrangement, in that we are motivated by an inward force which compells to do what is right, proper, and edifying to all. The council attempts to regulate the actions of the students using the principles as a guage. Each student will by co-operation and inter¬ cession be supporting those who are concerned about the welfare of all. 30 TUT10?I OF THE STUDENT ASSEMBLY OF THE CANADIAN MEMN0NI7E BIBLE COLLEG: The: name of the organization shall be The S+ Canadian Mennonite Bible College. :LE II: CENCRAL PURPOSE AND ATM pe e c evening prayer meeting r vi� r ' ' various organization cthir- . ;ent Counci l any matters of urgency that may convenient for the s ) student Council shall consist a ai th ana L-fe, el owship an sor, meet? nr; evey ' — ervi ce Committee lin the :ly student chapel services and deeper devotional life among the students. lcvTsBs - to olan and direct the social and recreational activities of the school as well as to foster a high standard of i nt-er-student fellowship.

Marz, friih morgens auf dem Wege nach Saskatchewan begaben. Alle Kopfschmerzen liber die eben geschriebenen Examen Hessen wir in Winnipeg zuriick, und das drohende Schneegestober blieb ihnen zur Gesellschaft auch zurilek. Nur die notigen Sachen, darunter ein kemiger Imbis, um den gesunden Appetit von 69 Sangern zu befriedigen, durften mitgenommen werden. Um die Fahrt interessant zu machen, versah das angestellte Komitee die ganze Gesellschaft mit verschiedenen Beschaftigungen. Ehe wir es uns versahen, waren wir in Drake, unserer ersten “Arbeitsstation.” Von dort ging es am Sonntag- morgen nach Saskatoon, abends nach Rosthern und Montag des Morgens, nach einem kurzen erfreulichen Besuch im Junior College, nach Waldheim. Dort sangen wir zum vierten Mai unser teuer gewordenes Oratorium. Mit jedem Vortrage wurde uns als Sanger diese wunderbare musikalische Kompo sition Mendelssohns und die Botschaft von Pauli Wirken und Zeugen, die sie enthalt, wichtiger und spornte uns zur voll- igeren Hingabe an. Unser Gebet war und ist auch jetzt noch, dass der Herr trotz unseres mangelhafte Bemiihens, die Zuhorer segnen und sie auch reichlich fiir die Wiirme, mit der sie uns iiberall aufnahmen, belohnen mochte. Wir fuhlten uns auf jeder Stelle so wie zu Hause. Der Herr schenkte von Anfang bis Ende schones Wetter, und Dienstag friih durften wir wieder gesund und munter zu unserem geliebtes Bibel College zuriick kehren. Wahrlich, Gott war gut zu uns in diesen Tagen! “O, welch eine Tiefe des Reichtums, der Weisheit und Erkenntnis Gottes. Wie gar unbegreiflich sind Seine Gerichtc, und unerforschlich Seine Wege. Him sei Ehre in Ewigkeit. Amen!” Melita Loewcn. 38 Ein Zukunftstraum. Als ich neulich in die Bibliothek ging, um zu studieren, war schon jeder Platz besetzt. Ich stand einen Augenblick und iiberschaute die vielen Kopfe, die sich iiber Bibeln und Kommen- tare, iiber Philosophic und Psychologie, iiber Mennonitengeschichte und Literaturbiicher beug- ten. Was fiir ein Vorrecht wir doch haben hier so reichlich den Geist speisen zu diirfen! Als ich hinausging, um mir irgendwo ein anderes Pliitzchen zu suchen, verfiel ich ins Traumen. Natiirlich dachte ich an das “neue College,” und plotzlich horte ich wieder den Satz, den neulich ein Prediger brauchte, als er von den Mennonitischen Ansiedlungen in Russ- O land sprach: “Sie bauen nicht mehr!” Bilder stiegen in mir auf, wie mein Vater sie mir so oft vormalte, als ich als Kind im Dammerlicht auf seinem Schoss sass. Die schonen Schulen, die Anstalten, das Wirken, das Streben—wo ist es alles geblieben? Da war es mir plotzlich, als ob es eigentlich unsere Vorvater seien, die das neue College plannen. Neu erstehen ihre Traume, ihre Hoffnungen in ihren Kindern. Wohl sind die alten Schulen nicht mehr. Unsere Vorvater haben aber das von ihnen so schwer erkampfte und so treu bewahrte mennonitische Glaubensgut an ihre Sohne und Tochter weiter- gegeben. Ware dies nicht der Fall, nie flatten unsere El tern das gegenwartige College moglich gemacht, nie wiirden sie die gegenwartige Not- wendigkeit der Erweiterung sehen und ans Werk gehen. Auch wir miissen ja das uns anvertraute Gut weiter geben! Wir miissen unsere Gemeinden bauen, denn auch unsere Zeit ist kurz, und auch von uns wird es einst heissen: “Sie bauen nicht mehr!” Wird es aber auch von uns, wie von jenen, heissen diirfen: “Sie haben gebaut? Sie haben das kostbare Gut treu verwaltet? Sie haben damit gewuchert und mehr gewonnen? Sie haben es nicht selbstsiichtig fiir sich behalten, sich nicht im Lichte gesonnt, wahrend andere im Finstern sassen, sondern sie haben auf Befehl des Meisters das Reich Gottes treu gebaut?” Sie haben gebaut! Gebe Gott, dass die Stu- denten des Colleges, die jetzt sitzen und lernen, sich ihrer Vater wert zeigen werden und das weiterbauen, was jene angefangen haben. Unsere Vorvater fanden ja das richtige Fundament und erkannten: “Einen anderen Grund kann niemand legen ausser dem, der gelegt ist, welcher ist Jesus Christus.” I. Cor. 3:11.
