HUGO PETERS, Austin, Man. JS. EPlZ. Ed. 2 As graduates reviewing a college ex¬ perience, we hesitate to express ourselves in words. At times school life and its effects on us seem to be so obvious that even modest language flatters. At other times we sense that something much deeper is happening to us than can possibly be ex¬ pressed in words, and in awe of the mystery we are silent again. Let us explain. There is a component of college life which might be considered tool-gathering. Scripture is bared, music is analysed, history is memorized, insight is broadened in social sciences, and language must be mastered. Education courses antici¬ pate applying these truths. This is more or less straightforward though a worthwhile pursuit. Might it be compared to a stream of gathering strength and depth? Though describing C.M.B.C. in these terms is essen¬ tial and true it can easily become repeti¬ tious and shallow. Looking at these aspects only we easily become critical of our experience and wonder whether another path might not have rendered more fruit. But then we realize a greater dimension. Th is is that which constitutes life, spiritually. Bible College has made us different persons. Since we have been here we cannot deny its impact on our lives. Amid the elemen¬ tary items of assignments, schedule, and examinations, something has happened. Now college life becomes a whirlpool which who knows why we entered, what happened, or what the direction is in which we have been thrown from it. Hopeless? Never, unless we attempt to say it in words. VALEDICTORY Has it not been God ' s leading that this institution existed as a rich environment for growth? Thank you to our home churches. Were not our instructors as influence, and examples of judgment and Christian insight over and above a mere body of facts and lectures? Were not former graduates and fellow students a source of life through mutual encouragement and exhortation? Our gratitude goes out to you. Was it not G od ' s leading that we should arrive here, leave, and return repeatedly till the course was completed? Could we have neared this institution without a substantial home training? Many thanks to you, our parents. We realize you are all a part of our lives. Thus it seems that amid the usual en¬ counters of life, when God touches and leads, something marvelous occurs which becomes inexpressible yet very real. Further downstream we as graduates would ask for more whirlpools of growth. We rejoice in gratitude at the persons we have become in Christ, yet this very rela¬ tionship makes us uncomfortable. The fact that we have received abundantly adds much weight and responsibility to decisions which might otherwise have been simple. Therefore as by faith we have thus far trusted in God ' s direction, so also we ask the assistance of His sure hand in the future, looking forward to service in His name and even fuller light as we are drawn closer to Him and His ways. Whatever the venture may be, we are confident that we are not alone and on this premise we desire to live to the praise of His glory.
