V 1958 CCanadian d [znnonLtz AIolTsy, 3 j OZECVOzd The eleventh year of operation of our College has come and gone bringing with it the 1958 College Yearbook. To us as students it will serve as a remembrance of a year spent at C.M.B.C. with all its cherished memories, of experiences with God and with our fellow students. We hope that for the people of our Conference it will in a small way portray what we are doing here and how we are preparing to be of service in our church. We especially hope and pray that it will challenge young people to prepare themselves to be of service to the Lord, since he has called every one of his disciples to be “vessels for noble use.” 4 d zdication ( _7o cJ ev.

J. J. THIESSEN VORSITZER DES DIREKTORIUMS Vorwaer+s mit Volldampf! Der amerikanische Admiral David Glasgow Farragut war ein Mann der Tat und weniger Worte, aber eines Tages hat er einen Ausspruch getan, den seine Volksgenossen nie vergessen werden, und der seine Bedeutung fur Zeiten besonderer Prrifungen und Verwirrungen behalt. Es war am 5. August 1864. Farragut fiihrte seine Flotte gegen Mobile Bay. Sie wurde stark beschossen und das wasser war voller Torpedos. Eines seiner Schiffe traf auf eine Mine und ver- sank in wenigen Minuten. Dieses brachte grosse Verwirrung in die Flotte und bald stand sie zusammengeengt still und geriet unter das kon- zentrierte totliche Feuer der feindlichen Kriegs- schiffe und Forts. Farragut erkannte die kritische Lage seiner Flotte und wusste, dass, wenn nicht sofort gehandelt werde, die in Verwirrung geratene Flotte dem Untergang geweiht sei. Schnell ent- schlossen gab er dem Flaggenschiff das kraftige Kommande: “Vorwahrts mit Volldampf!” Die andern Schiffe folgten und die Situation war gerettet, trotzdem es durch Minenfelder und feindliches Feuer ging, wurde der Sieg errungen. Aus dieser Begebenheit lernen wir unserm Ziel. das wir uns gebetsvoll gestellt haben, unentwegt nachzujagen, ungeachtet der Hindernisse und Schwierigkeiten. Gottvertrauen und entschlos- senes Handeln sichem den Erfolg, wiihrend Unentschlossenheit und Furcht das Gegenteil bewirken. Farraguts Starke lag in seinem Mut und in seiner Fntschlossenheit, vorwarts zu gehen trotz der grossen Gefahren. Wenn wir an den weiteren Ausbau unseres Bibelcolleges denken, dann finden wir, dass Hindernisse verschiedener Art, die mit Minen und Torpedos verglichen werden konnten, uns den Weg zum Ziel versperren wollen. Hier gilt es glaubensvoll und entschieden zu handeln. Vorwarts mit Volldampf! Den scheidenden Studenten mochte ich dieses Schlagwort mit auf den ferneren Lebensweg geben, denn auch ihrer warten Hindernisse auf dem Wege zum gestellten Ziel. Es bleibt dabei: 1st Gott fur uns, wer mag wider uns sein? “Gott mit uns!” sei unsre Losung! Vorwarts! Gloria! Seht, uns winkt die Lehenskrone, Mut, Halleluja! J. J. Thiessen 8 LZsIztoZLlini MR. A.

PRESIDENT, DEAN OF CURRICULUM, INSTRUCTOR OF THEOLOGY, EVANGELISM, GREEK Our Christian Colleg es It has been said that two-thirds of all colleges and universities in existence have been founded by church groups. This is an indication of the great importance that many churches have at¬ tached to Christian education. Churches have established these schools because they felt that they could not rely on secular education to supply the kind of leaders which they needed for the transmission of what they regarded as their own spiritual heritage. They have felt that this heritage was something to be greatly cher¬ ished, eagerly appropriated and diligently com¬ municated to succeeding generations. It was because of this that they often made great sacrifices for the founding and continued support of such institutions. If the need for Christian schools has been great in the past, it is even greater in our day. In order to meet the many dangers from the secularized and materialistic world in which we live, a well-trained Christian leadership is of special importance today. What is needed is not more secularized education but education that is fundamentally and intentionally Christian. To supply such education is not an easy task but it has never been more sorely needed than it is today. In order that our Christian schools may fulfill their important responsibility there is the con¬ tinued need of external support from our churches. The future of our schools and colleges cannot be taken for granted. Once the church has founded its schools it must continue to support them by its prayers and gifts and by sending to them its young men and women for Christian training. On the other hand, the schools cannot expect such support unless they continue to fulfill the purpose for which they have been founded. There should be clarity in the aim and purpose that the schools are pursuing. The students, the faculty and also the board should know the direction in which the school is going. Our Lord in training the twelve disciples always moved with a deliberate purpose. He brought the disciples to such a unity of aim and experience that they became great influences in the extension of His kingdom here on earth. May the Lord continue to guide our churches as well as our schools as they continue to work together in this most important task of Christian education. Isaac I. Friesen. 10 REV.

For us, the class of ’58, College days will soon be a thing of the past. It is therefore with mingled emotions that I prepare this farewell message. We will soon experience the climax of our college life—graduation. As the mountain climber has the summit ever before him, so this event has occupied a place in our mind’s eye for some time past. Now that it is about here we feel an elation and a sadness. An elation, in finding ourselves on the threshold of a life of service for our Saviour and Lord, Jesus Christ. A sadness, because we are leaving behind a particular phase of our life; one that has become dear to us and one to be ever fondly remembered—our college years. Today we want to look back on the traveled road; we want to remember and reminisce. We call to mind the day several years ago when, each in our respective locality, we heard the Lord’s call to attend Canadian Mennonite Bible College. For one, obedience meant leaving the mission field; for another, laying aside the teaching profession; and for others, resigning from places of employment. But God gave the needed strength for that decision, and we came to study His Word. In the extra-curricular aspects of our College we received nourishment for our immortal souls. A daily chapel hour, room devotions and the Saturday evening prayer meetings were new but profitable experiences to us. Coupled with these blessings was that of Christian fellowship among students. Before our first year had come to a close we said of C.M.B.C. as did Peter of the Mount of Transfiguration, “Lord, it is well that we are here.” Through the years our teachers have been faithful in opening new truths to us. Time after time they had to repeat that which seemed so elusive to us. Yet they did it willingly, for their hearts were dedicated to the cause of the Master Teacher. They have instilled in us ideals which will help us to make our decisions wisely and guide us through the trying times of our lives. They taught us to substitute individual thinking for a blind acceptance of another’s ideas. But also outside the classroom they were concerned about spiritual growth in the life of each indivi dual student. We shall ever cherish their wise and helpful counsel. During these three years the Bible has been our main textbook. Many are the treasures we have found therein. Acquaintance with it has, however, not lowered it to an ordinary book. It is still God’s Holy Word with which we dare not tamper. It shall be the rule for our future life. It shall guide us past the pitfalls of Satan. Its message shall be our message which we bring, by word and deed, to a lost and dying humanity. The challenge of Christian service has been presented to us. We are living in a world of inter-continental ballistic missiles and man-made satellites; a world of fear and unrest. It is a world in dire need of that which has been entrusted to us — the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Many today are calling with the Macedonians, “Come over and help us.” But there are likewise millions who say with the governor Felix, “Go away for the present; when I have an opportunity I will summon you.” Indifference is prevalent everywhere. To this field Christ has called us. For this task we have been preparing. And now the time comes, as it inevitably must, to bid farewell to C.M.B.C. Within a few days we will step out from under these protective elements to face life. You have left an indelible impression in our life. We hope to see you prosper and grow. We wish that the high standard of spirituality in the college family, set by those in years past and sincerely sought to be retained by us, will ever remain. We must bid farewell to our instructors. We wish you much wisdom from on high as you impart to others the implications and values of a truly Christian sojourn on earth. We must bid farewell to fellow students. To you whom we leave behind; we wish every success in seeking and finding the eternal truths so essential not only for this life but also for that to come. We, the graduates, must bid farewell to each other. Never again shall we meet under the same conditions. Our paths now branch out from the main one which we traveled together for the last three years. Some paths may be long, others possibly short; some in the bright light of fame, others in the dark shadows of obscurity. Let us be found faithful wherever our Lord pleases to send us. To you, C.M.B.C., and to all who have given so much that we might be blessed, we say a hearty “thank you.” Thank you, instructors and fellow students; thank you, parents and friends. Thank you, triune God—Father, Son and Holy Spirit — for h aving created, redeemed and enlightened us. Henry Isaac. 20 OlzLrd { Id Ear VICTOR FAST Chortitz, Man. VERNON C.

I ask myself the question, “What have I gained here in the past years?” I find that I cannot immediately enumerate a list of things because I do not have a definite idea of them in my mind. Somehow it has been a gradual growth that has had its highlights and its depressions. In these past three years I have studied God’s Word more than ever before. In some cases it was like exploring a new land—all these hidden truths began to take on a new meaning; I could use them, I could apply them to my life. They became my possession. At other times I felt I had a perfectly clear understanding of a certain text and to me it presented no problem but, on further study, I found there were many inter¬ pretations and I began to doubt my former stand. This made me realize that I needed a deeper insight into God’s Word in order to choose that what I felt was right. With this came a certain acceptance of different views and my horizon was broadened. This taught me not to accept every idea that came my way but rather that every idea must be tested and compared with Scripture; only that which corresponds with Scripture can be accepted. In these past three years I have enjoyed more Christian experiences than ever before. We have the opportunity of serving Christ by teaching the children at Children’s Hour, by singing or serving at the Rescue Mission. Christ has used us in leading others to make a decision for Him. Our weekly Prayer Meetings are the climax of the week. Here we receive strength from God to live each day for Him. Here we encourage one another to be a clear witness for Christ. Our private devotions mould and form our character. Through prayer and meditation we speak with God and He shows us His way for our life. We must only surrender our will to His. Through this I have seen that to live a dedicated Christian life is the only worth while thing here on earth. Christ gave us His all. How could we give Him less than our all? Often other alternatives lure young people, namely getting a job and earning money or going to university to receive a degree in order to make more money later on. These things in themselves are not sin but to those who plan to serve Christ the rest of their life, a period of time spent at C.M.B.C. is a period of real preparation. In conclusion I would like to say that in my years here I have had precious experiences with Christ; I have had deeper insight into God’s Word; I have received a broader understanding of our Mennonite faith; I have been challenged to give my life as a living sacrifice for Him. This is what the Christian Education course means to me. Bertha Tiessen. ( dj]Jfiat t(iz tzSaazzd U±LC In thinking about this, I have asked myself what I’ve often asked before and what other people have often asked me, “Why study music at a Bible College?” When I look into the world about me and see all the sin, or turn on the radio and hear the type of music which floods most of the stations, it grips my heart to see how far a so-called Christian country seems to be from God. It is shocking to hear that a person like Elvis Presley can cause such an uproar in the teen-age world. Would that it were an uproar of rebellion rather than one of support and approval! Can these young people say with conviction that they really enjoy the type of music he offers or is it that they want to be of the same mind as the crowd? Should the church not feel it as its responsibility to present some¬ thing more upbuilding to the character of its members of tomorrow than this? This is where, I believe, a course of this nature can play a very important role. In order to cultivate an interest for good music in our young people there must be people trained to teach them, for “how shall (douz±E {zan± to ooIIe they learn, except they be taught?” I think the church doors are open wider to music today than ever before. Let us as young people take up the challenge and make a joyful noise to our Creator, Redeemer and Lord. From our study of music here at college it is possible for us to take examinations prepared by the Royal Conservatory of Music at Toronto and thus obtain their degree if we so desire. Along with the training in music we are required to take certain prescribed Bible subjects. Thus in enrolling in the Sacred Music Course we receive an education which prepares us for service and at the same time grounds us more firmly in the faith which we have in Christ Jesus. We also receive ample opportunity to put into practice what we learn, by singing in hospitals, old folks’ homes and various Mennonite churches in Manitoba. For me it is a great privilege to be here. I feel that during the time spent here I have received a greater love for music, a greater love for my Lord and a greater desire to be of service to Him who did so much for me.

I. I. Friesen, faculty advisor. Student Activities The students of C.M.B.C. are organized as a group which calls itself the Student Assembly. Each student automatically becomes a member of this organization upon enrollment. The main administrative duties of the assembly are looked after by a six-member elected group called the Student Council (an amendment this year has increased the membership to seven). The council is made up of a three-member executive and the respective chairmen of the faith and life, fellowship, and service committees. The executive is responsible for the Saturday evening prayer meetings and is also in charge of any emergency which may arise. In addition, they are responsible for calling council and assembly meetings whenever necessary. The faith and life committee is made up of four members, as are the other committees. It is responsible for planning the weekly Wednesday student chapel periods and the annual prayer day held each winter. Furthermore, they try to foster greater spirituality among the students. The fellowship committee, as the name implies, is in charge of providing the students with op¬ portunities for recreation and sponsoring periodic social evenings for the College family. The service committee administers the practical Christian work done by the students. Each stu¬ dent is expected to do about two hours of practical Christian work each week. The avenues open to them are numerous. Work is done at the Union Gospel Mission on Winnipeg’s Main Street every Saturday evening; two children’s hours are conducted weekly at the Bethel Men- nonite and Sargent Ave. Mennonite churches respectively; and personal workers and singers go to hospitals and homes for the aged periodi¬ cally. Other duties, such as teaching Sunday School, conducting church choirs, preaching, etc., are also rendered by individuals. Other committees are in charge of promoting missions (the missions committee chairman will join the council as the seventh member this year); and furthering the literary and musical arts. Three members, including two registered nurses, make up the committee which looks after the health of the students. A Samaritan Service is operated whereby the students share in bearing the burden of medical expenses incurred by individuals. The two publications put out by the students are the Yearbook, and the Scroll which appears every two months. The first has a committee of seven in charge and the Scroll is edited and distributed by a committee of four. The students are also in charge of admin¬ istering the twelve hours per term of maintenance work that each student is requested to do. A committee of two looks after the distribution of such duties as washing floors and dishes, serving as librarians, binding books, etc. In order to give as many students as possible opportunities to get valuable experience in or¬ ganizing and conducting these various activities, it has become the practice to distribute the work among as many students as possible. This is but a summary of the work being carried on by the students in addition to their regular class work. We would request our readers to pray that the total college program will help to provide well-rounded Christians for the Lord’s work.

Elmer Dick Belgian Congo March 21-23 were indeed red-letter days at C.M.B.C. The final examinations of the winter term were over, the spring term had not yet begun. For many it meant finis — they were ready to go home. But there was really no special hurry. So here was a free week-end for all of us. How could we spend it most profitably? Already a month before, the Student Council and the Missionary Fellowship Band had put their heads together to consider just this. Both had felt that since we were preparing here for service in the Lord’s vineyard we needed to keep the missionary spirit on a high level. Then also, we needed to know more of the opportuniti es, problems, conditions and needs of witnessing. In other words, we needed a greater vision and challenge. For those leaving it would be a fine send-off. For those staying, a real boost and for our visitors and all of us, a genuine incentive for service. Thus it came about that on the above dates the first Christian Witness and Missionary Con¬ ference was held at C.M.B.C. The theme of the Rev. Henry Epp Mennonite Biblical Seminary, Chicago Leo Driedger Board of Christian Service Newton, Kansas Conference was “RECEIVE POWER ... BE WITNESSES.” Four capable men had accepted the invitation to speak on various aspects of the theme. Rev. Henry Epp from the Seminary had three thought-provoking messages on “Witnessing in a Changing World.” Rev. Elmer Dick from the Congo and Larry Klippenstein from the Indians in Northern Manitoba led us into their respective fields. Leo Driedger, Executive Secretary of the Board of Christian Service, challenged us to make use of the many oportunities of Summer and Voluntary Service that were open to us. A panel discussion, testimonies, short reports and special items in song all helped to make this Conference a success. The local attendance was encouraging. We also appreciated the fact that so many had come from our neighboring province. We trust that this Conference will become an annual affair at C.M.B.C., and will continue to inspire yet many to witness for our dear Lord. H. T.

This year three choirs were organized as well as the traditional octet. The largest of these choirs consisted of the entire student body. The a capella choir consisted of an ensemble of 41 voices, the male section of which made up the third choir. Mr. G. Wiebe was the director of these choirs. In the major programs of the year, all the choirs took an active part. These presentations included the Christmas, the Passion, as well as the opening and final programs. The selections used were a cross-section of church music, written by various composers like Schiitz, Bach, Mendels¬ sohn and Haydn. Familiar hymns, chorales and negro spirituals were added for variety, and made for well-rounded programs. During the winter term the a capella, together with the male choir and octet visited some of our churches in southern Manitoba. We ap¬ preciated this opportunity of serving our Lord. The mixed octet, accompanied by an instructor, made various tours to our churches here in Manitoba. A major tour to our churches in Ontario was undertaken between terms. Dr. I. I. Friesen accompanied the group. The motto that was used, “Presenting Christ and His Cause”, expressed the purpose of the tour. We are indeed grateful for all the kindness and keen receptive¬ ness that was evident everywhere. College and church ties were strengthened, and we feel assured that Christ has been glorified. An added feature to the other choir activities was the recording that was made at the close of the winter term. A long playing record of 16 selected songs by the a cappella and male choirs is now avaliable to any interested friends. May these songs serve to enrich other’s lives, as they have our own!
