Continued from page 25 Their Bible study was enriched by the application of the principles of Biblical hermeneutics to their classroom work. Through this training the Juniors are seeking to obtain a knowledge of the English Bible, which is too frequently absent in the modern Christian ministry. It is not an abstract knowledge of the principles and techniques involved in presenting the Scriptures that is lacking. Neither is acquaintance with historical and classical scholarship the imperative which is needed to fill the vacuum exist- ing in the Church of Christ today. In- stead the practical exposition of Biblical truth is the object of the longing which many have expressed in words similar to these, When I go to church I want to hear what the Bible has to say— not what some preacher thinks it means. Yet amid the wonders of God ' s Word, we hope that our class is becoming in- creasingly careful not to lose the sense of the reality of God ' s presence which loss befalls those who do not take time MR. SANDERS basic principles of speech to cultivate the knowledge of Him as a person. It is for this reason that great stress is placed upon each student re- serving time each day for communing with God in devotional Bible study and prayer. Each student must remember that sound Bible exposition is an imperative must in the church of the living God. Without it no church can be a New Testament church in any strict meaning of that term. But exposition may be car- ried on in such a way as to leave the hearers devoid of any true spiritual nourishment whatever. For it is not mere words that nourish the soul, but God Himself; and unless, and until, the hear- ers find God in personal experience, they are none the better for having the truth. The Bible is not an end in itself, but a means to bring men to an intimate and satisfying knowledge of God, that they may enter into Him, that they may de- light in His Presence, taste and know the inner sweetness of the very God Himself. GOOD MORNING. We welcome you to listen for a moment to the Little Chapel of the Air. Come and meditate with us. . . And from 7:55 to 8:00 A.M. each weekday hundreds of South Car- olinians hear the voice of announcer F. Brooks Sanders over radio station VVCOS in Columbia. Mr. Sanders began his radio training at Wheaton College where he majored in speech and brightened many a program with his trombone solos. After receiving his B.A. in 1947, he attended Eastern Baptist Seminary and New Brunswick Theology Seminary. He also served as music director of the Madison Street Bible Church in Oak Park, 111., and the Philadelphia Youth for Christ during that period. After serving as pastor of the Old Bridge Baptist Church in Old Bridge, N. J., Mr. Sanders went to Costa Rica un- der the Latin American Mission to be- come both the program and musical di- rector of radio station TIFC. The Sanders were forced to return to the United States on account of Mrs. Sanders ' health. In 1949 Mr. Sanders came to teach public speaking at C.B.C. He is also assisting in the music depart- ment and radio production course in ad- dition to heading up student deputations. In his spare time Mr. Sanders pastors a church in Augusta, Ga., and encourages the basketball team every Friday night. Concerning his present position Mr. Sanders states, I think speech is of ut- most importance to a Christian worker. Whatever is worth saying for the Lord is worth saying well. Our objective is to produce a sense of coordination between all speech mechanisms so as to permit greater freedom in speaking. 1 mf t W ' ' 1 CAMERA SHY JOSEPH RAY ATTMAN Seaford, New York 3813 Merrick Road New York University LEONA J.
