I WILL DO A NEW THING FINIAL ' 60 Columbia Bible College Columbia, South Carolina d _•« Will Even Make A Way I n $ Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert. In presenting this theme for the I960 Finial it is the desire of the junior class that all who see the book recognize and give all glory to God for that work which He is doing in our midst. As the reader sees the pictorial account of the con- struction on the new campus, and as he reads the historical excerpts throughout the book, may he, with us, perceive that this work was wrought of our God. A flash of green and brown is seen as Miss Kathryn Warren walks briskly to class or to a committee meeting. Her talents and duties are many and varied. Born in Alba, Pennsylvania and educated at Bucknell University, she taught for thirteen years in New York and Pennsylvania high schools before coming as a student to C. B. C. Along with teaching eight subjects in high school, where her favorite students were the bad boys, she taught Bible clubs and coached the girls ' basketball team. Having joined the staff of the Bible College in 1942, and later the faculty, Miss Warren is at present the cap- able secretary of the faculty and keeps a detailed record of all faculty meetings. Through her gift of friendship, she has been responsible for bringing several other fac- ulty members to the Bible College. Her work affects the life of each C. B. C. student as she capably assists in registration and in counseling. Many freshmen have discovered the difference between sentences and fragments in her English classes. The sophomores have learned to love the works of Byron and Longfellow through studies in English and American Literature. And the juniors and seniors eagerly await the time when Miss Warren shall read their names as they receive their degrees. As an expression of our gratitude for ALL that you mean to us, we affectionately dedicate the 1960 Finial to you, Miss Warren - teacher, helper, counselor, and friend. A Woman That Feareth The Lord Shall Be Praised! ' x : : Dear Seniors: In portraying the new thing which God is now doing in providing our new campus, this year ' s Finial is thereby expressing the way God does all His wonderful works. In the program of God the old al- ways gives place to the new. It is never the opposite. It is always the new that is final. The old is temporary. The old always becomes the new with God, and the new never grows old. It is characteristic of God to say, Behold, I make all things new. Evening is followed by morning. The old creation is followed by the new creation. The old heavens and the old earth are followed by the new heavens and the new earth. Death is followed by life. And now you are heirs of God ' s way of working. Every day is to be lived in newness of life - His life; and nothing is ever to end in de- feat. Looking unto Jesus will make it so.

Mr. Douglas Watson, adviser. Seniors Whatever Satan ' s alternative to the will of God may be as you labor for Him, always esteem the reproach of Christ greater riches. Have you ever thought that you might be teaching some day at the Bible College? For most of us the answer would probably be negative, and so it was with Mr. Douglas Watson when he graduated in 1949. During the following three years he studied at Faith Seminary and graduated with a .Bachelor of Divinity degree. Before joining the Bible College faculty as an instructor in Greek, Hebrew, and Biblical Introduction, he taught at Emmaus Bible School, both at the branch in Toronto and that in Illi- nois, and at Faith Seminary. His athletic skill and good sportsmanship, as well as his wise counsel, have made this year one long to be remem- bered for the senior class.

Mr. Richard Elton, adviser. Juniors Have you ever considered working at a summer camp? is an oft-repeated question that comes from the lips of Mr. Richard Elton. After graduating from Philadelphia School of the Bible, Mr. Elton became the Vice-President of the Gospel Volunteers of the World. Then just two years ago, in March of 1957, he and his wife and their three children joined our Bible College family. Mr. Elton, besides being business manager of the school, is the director of the summer activities at Ben Lippen, where Bible Conferences and a camp- ing program for boys and girls are conducted. The junior class is greatly indebted to him for his sense of humor and boundless patience. °age Twenty-Four ' Jehovah-God . . . Who Only Doeth Wondrous Things.

Sophomores My desire for the sophomore class is that this year they may have experienced a ' sopho- more surge ' in the knowledge of the Lord. During his eleventh year of serving the Lord on the Bible College faculty, Mr. G. William Supplee has been the sophomore class adviser. Mr. Sup- plee was born in Kohima, Assam, India, in 1924. His grade school educa- tion was given him by his mother. After graduating from Wheaton College in 1948, Mr. Supplee worked for WMBI as a radio producer until he joined the Bible College faculty in 1949. We have been blessed with the musical ministry of Mr. Supplee, not only by his careful and prayerful selection of hymns for the chapel periods, but also by the special music supplied by his patient work with the Ambassador Choir and other groups. The sophomores have been impressed with his simple love for the Lord and his humility as he seeks to be only an instrument in the Master ' s hand. They want to have the eyes of their hearts enlightened so that they may know the exceeding greatness of His power to them that believe. Page Thirty-Two The Lord . . . Knoiveth Them That Trust In Htm!

Beginning with background of the buildings themselves, the story reached into Civil War days and proceeded to the present construction of the new campus. The climax of the eve- ning came when Dr. Fleece an- nounced immediate plans for be- ginning the new women ' s dormi- tories, in anticipation of next year ' s fall opening on the new campus.

Freshmen The Bible College family has been blessed with a new addition to the fac- ulty this year. Rev. Earl McQuay with his wife and two children came to us from Sarasota, Florida, where he had been pa storing the Grace Baptist Church. Mr. McQuay graduated from the Bible College in 1954, and went to Sarasota after pastoring the Leesville Baptist Church in Leesville, South Carolina, for nearly two years. In his work with the Christian Service Department, God has given Mr. McQuay a concern for helping train good soldiers of Christ, since those training, for Christian service today may well be God ' s recruits for the final, all-out thrust of world - evangelization. His desire for the freshman class this year is that as they stand for inspection the Captain of Salvation may find them stripped of self, clothed with the whole armor of God, and abandoned to His command.

Teaching both Old and New Testament and also a course in prayer, Mr. Frank Sells is not only keeping his students busy, but is also working hard himself. During the first semester he taught the Tuesday even- ing Bible class for the public. Very often he can be found teaching in a public school in South Carolina during the week. His summers are spent speaking in camps and Bible conferences. Truly this man has constantly proven that we can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth us and we thank God for his faithful testimony to the Grads and to the rest of us as well.

B.C. are carried out through an organization known as the Student Association. All students are members of this organization, which has been in existence since the early years of the school. The constitution of the association gives its purpose as follows: The pur- pose of this association shall be to promote the fellowship and spiritual life of the students, to stimulate and direct the various activities, and to co-operate with the Board and Faculty in all that may concern the welfare of the college and ser- vice of the Lord. The officers of the Student Association are pres- ident, vice-president, secretary, and treasurer. These officers are elected in the spring of each year and installed at the annual banquet for the organi- Mr. Raymond Shepherd, adviser; Bruce Woll, president; Pat Acton, treasurer; Christian Bastke, vice-president; Kathy Wong, secretary. Have The Preeminence Association zation, which is held towards the close of the school year. At this time the officers begin their one-year term in office. Much of the association ' s business is taken care of by the student council. This subsidiary group is made up of the four Student Association officers and a representative from each of the student organi- zations in the school. The business acted upon by the council is subject to the approval of the associ- ation. The Student Activities Committee is the one standing committee of the association. It is com- posed of the Presidents of the Men ' s and Women ' s Dormitories, and the Chairmen of the Social, Pro- gram, and Music Sub-Committees. Its duties are to co-ordinate student activities and plan the so- cial events calendar for the year.

PAUL CULLEY Adviser Foreign Missions Fellowship F.M.F. is the local chapter of the National Student For- eign Missions Fellowship and is also the parent chapter of the national organization. This organization began in the summer of 1936 at the Ben Lippen summer conference grounds in Asheville, North Carolina, after the prayful consideration of those interested in the Student Volunteer Movement. Soon the Fellowship reached out to Christian students in universities, colleges, and Bible institutes throughout the whole United States. In 1947 this group merged with the Inter -Varsity Fellowship in order to promote the realization of a world-wide mission- ary vision among the secular schools as well, and since this time many new chapters have been added, helping to ful- fill the F. M. F. motto, The Lord Jesus Christ unto the uttermost. Two outstanding events of the year are the Southeastern Regional Conferences held in the fall and spring at Toccoa STEERING COMMITTEE First Semester Jehovah Ketgneth. Conference Grounds. At these times the students from col- leges and Bible institutes all over the Southeast have the op- portunity of meeting and cons ulting representatives from a number of mission boards. Each Saturday evening at the F.M.F. meeting, C.B.C. students are brought face to face with the needs of the world and with God ' s command to go ye into all the world. Fol- lowing this meeting are prayer groups, each praying for the needs of a particular geographical area of the world. For the past seven years the students, praying and giving as the Lord enables, have engaged in a specific project. Each year the Lord has abundantly met the goal. This year ' s project is in the field of literature and the total goal is $10,000 -- $2,205 for a bookmobile for the FarEastern Gos- pel Crusade, $3,470 for a binding machine for the West Indies Mission and $4,325 for a literature center in Lebanon for the Nile Mission Press.

Page Sixty He Is Faithful That Promised! ' Christian Service The aim of the Christian Service Department is to foster spiritual development to the saving of the lost and the growth of the saved. Each student has at least one assignment a week, and in the prepara- tion and carrying out of his assignment, he is brought face to face with the soul need of the people, and the opposition of the devil. Thus he soon learns that if he is to succeed, there is the must of a close fellowship with Jesus in order that the power of God may flow through his life. The Christian Service Department was started in 1923, when the school began with six students en- rolled. At first Miss Emily Dick was in charge of the entire work, both men and women. Then in 1926, Miss Pamela Moore took the women and Mr. John Hehl the men. During these early years one of the assignments was to help in the cotton mill church and mill community. Hendley Homes now occupies the land upon which this community once stood. Other types of work were teaching in Sunday Schools, preaching in churches, conducting street meetings, and distributing tracts. Then at the beginning of the Second World War, work began at Camp Jackson, now known as Fort Jackson. The Christian Service Department has grown until its present outreach includes work with servicemen, placing Scripture portions on ships at Charleston, teaching Bible clubs, and nursery work, street meet- ings, home and hospital visitation, prison visitation, choirs and ensembles, public school teaching, Girls ' Industrial School work, assistance in local churches, Veterans ' Hospital counselling, TB Sanitarium, and Shaw Air Force Base Visitation, Gray-Y, Youth Clubs, and work with Intervarsity Christian Fellow- ship.

Miss Lydia Heim, Mrs. Richard Pelonero, and Mr. Romeyn Westervelt H Each student who enters the Bible College is enrolled in a class of Basic Music Theory for one semes- ter, and for the following semester class instruction is given in a number of musical instruments. In this way every student is given the opportunity to develop musical skills, and to gain a basic understand- ing of music and its place in Christian service. At present all major band and orchestral instruments, along with piano, organ, and voice are taught. The college choir is a major means of musical outreach. Its history stems from a girls ' glee club formed in 1949. When men became interested in an ensemble a men ' s glee club was formed, and at the combined graduation concert the two groups voted to unite in a mixed choir. Since that time the Ambassador Choir, as it is now known, has toured the Middle Atlantic states, the Midwest, the South, and the West. During the academic year of 1958-59 a long playing record was made and is now being distributed through the Bible College book store. Mr. G. William Supplee, head of the music department, came to C. B.C. in September, 1949. He not only directs the Ambassador Choir, but also teaches classes in music theory and conducts practice periods for musical ensembles. Miss Charlotte Watson, a graduate student in 1949-50, gives instruction in piano. Mr. Newell Ferris teaches organ, and Mrs. Richard Pelonero teaches voice. Stringed instru- ments are taught by Miss Lydia Heim; and brass, reed and wind instruments are taught by Mr. Romeyn Westervelt. Other courses offered in the music department include song-leading, choral conducting, music appreciation, and hymnology.

The CeBeCean, the school newspaper, seeks to make a definite contribution to campus life through a com- bination of the newsy and in- teresting features of the school and social activities. During the twenty- eight years of its existence the paper has grown from a bi-monthly to a monthly publication and has changed from mimeographing to printing. The staff finds their work a source of valuable ex- perience in journalism and teamwork through the pro- duction of a paper whose aim is to bring glory to our God. Page Seventy Commanded Thy Strength! ' Finial Even as a finial is a crowning adorn- ment of a tower so it has been the desire of the yearbook staff that the Lord would use this year ' s Finial as a crowning adorn- ment to Columbia Bible College. Through- out the months of scurrying about for pic- tures, layouts, and articles, we have been conscious of one thing - God was doing a new thing for us, teaching us to love and trust Him more fully. For this we are deeply thankful. We wish to express our appreciation to Miss Kathryn McClarty, our faithful ad- viser, for her encouragement and assist- ance, to Mr. Mrs. Russell Olson for their generous help in photography, and to many others who so willingly helped to make this yearbook a reality. Anne Estes, editor; Miss Kathryn McClarty, adviser. Photography Editor Co-Literary Editor and Art Editor Typists Business Manager and Literary Editor A New Thing In the building of His Church, God has constantly organized new movements, raised up new leaders, and performed new works, as the need for these has arisen. Columbia Bible College stands as a testi- mony to this fact; for, since a group of praying wo- men began to ask God for a Bible school in the South, its story has been that of one new thing after another. As we look back through the past 38 years, we seem to hear the voice of God saying, not just I will do a new thing, but Behold, I have done many new things. IT WAS A NEW THING . . . when Miss Emily Dick, the leader of a faith- ful band of intercessors, began to pray for a Bible school in Columbia. The dream began to take shape when Mr. Robert C. McQuilkin of the Sunday School Times and the Victorious Life Testimony answered the Lord ' s call to head the school. Two rooms, to be used for a classroom and an office, were rented in the fashionable Colonia Hotel; and when classes began in the fall of 1923 with 8 students, the South had been introduced to something new -- an interdenominational Bible school. . . . when, in 1927, the Colonia Hotel was pur- chased to provide space for the growing institution. . . . when Columbia became the first Bible school to offer a degree, through an act of the South Caro- lina State Legislature in 1928; and when, later, in 1929, Columbia Bible School became Columbia Bible College, with a four -year course. . . . when the first graduate of Columbia to go as a foreign missionary left for the field in 1928. . . . when, through one miracle after another, the Lord opened up the way for Columbia to establish an interdenominational conference center at Ben Lippen, near Asheville, North Carolina, in the early 1930 ' s. . . . when, in 1938, the Student Foreign Missions Fellowship, which C.B. C. students helped to form and which has occupied an indispensable place in the school ever since, was organized, after plans had been drawn up at Ben Lippen and Keswick, New Jersey. . . . when, the Bible College stepped out in the greatest venture of faith since its founding. In 1938, the old Columbia Theological Seminary grounds, only a block from the main building, were purchased to provide men ' s dormitories. The school had al- ways lived by faith, and God had seen them through every need, including the years of depression. But in this new step, God showed His faithfulness and power in a new way, when the last of the $75 , 000 was paid five years later. . . . when, at the end of the war, enrollment shot up over 300, and the barracks were set up on the men ' s campus for married students. . . . when, C.B.C. undertook its first building project, a new women ' s dormitory and classroom building, at the cost of $220, 000. . . . when, the largest financial goal in the school ' s history, $100,000 toward the cost of the new build- ing, was set for Thanksgiving Day, 1947. The day before the deadline, $23,000 was lacking; yet by the time of the morning service, God had done the impossible. The goal was reached, and even ex- ceeded by over $25,000. . . . when, the Graduate School of Missions became an official branch of the Bible College in 1947. . . . when, Dr. G. Allen Fleece became president of the College in 1953, after the decease of Dr. McQuilkin. . . . when, the Foreign Missions Fellowship, in 1953, undertook its first large, specific project -- an airplane for missionary use in New Guinea, as a memorial to Walter Erikson and Ed Tritt, two C.B.C. alumni who were martyred there. . . . when, the new campus was purchased in 1953. Because of the school ' s convictions against soliciting funds, the Bible College turned down the offer of some businessmen to raise money for the purchase of a certain property. Some of the school ' s leaders, however, saw the property and began to consider the possibility of buying it for a new campus. Although the option was only $5,000, the board, feeling they should make certain of God ' s will, asked Him to send in $20,000 by October 17. The Lord answered by sending in $40,000, a sure seal of His approval on the transaction. . . . when, construction plans began to take shape, and the drawings for the McQuilkin Memorial Ad- ministration Building were approved in 1955. . . . when, in the fall of 1958, the Lord gave the go ahead signal to start building, with the clear assurance that He would do a new thing. . . . when the men ' s dormitories were begun in January, 1959, followed several months later by the chapel and women ' s dormitories. And God has not stopped working. He is contin- ually doing a new thing in our midst, and His pro- mise is always for something new, something more glorious, in the future. As we face the coming years of Columbia Bible College, and of our own lives, we look forward and upward with confidence in our great God. We trust that the ends of the earth will hear of His salvation as a result of what He does here. At the same time, we lift our hearts in prayer that we may never be taken up with the new thing, but rather with the One who has promised to do it; that our look may never be upon the deed alone, but that we may gaze sted- fastly at the Doer. Then we shall go forth in the power, the joy, and the victory of the Almighty God who promises, Behold, I will do a new thing. Page Seventy-Two I ;
