And now I can ' t quite think how I shall manage to get along without you. You ve been such a wonderful mother. How I thank God for the love you ' ve had for us boys- expressed in so many different ways as only a mother knows how— yet so single in purpose— to love as the Lord Jesus loves. Remember the Scrabble games that you always won — even though you let me use the dictionary? Remember all the handfuls of popcorn I consumed while we talk- ed about that certain one ? Remember how you kept me in stitches when mine kept coming undone? Re- member the little visits scattered throughout the year- just to say hello — that never seemed to be without a cookie, or maybe a delicious piece of your home- made cake? Mom, I surely could go for a piece of that cake right now. ... Mom Shepherd. ..that ' s what I really wanted to write about. You were so much a Mom , and to so many of us so much a Shepherd — upholding and pro- tecting your flock with your prayers, gently leading us with such wise advice, and always annointing us with your love. God was so good to let me be a mem- ber of that flock, Mom. I can ' t help hating to leave you. But even so, I can thank God for this: that all those who continue coming through C.B.C. will have a part in sharing in the wonderful, warm blessing that makes up our own Mom Shepherd. With much love, Your Son ...YOU always kept me in stitches... ' ...NEVER a visit without a cookie... MOM, how ' s your bird today? ' MOM, can I use the dictionary again? ' FOREWORD THE MYSTERY God shrouded it from fleshly eyes--- This wondrous mystery. Philosophers, since time began, Search earnestly To sound its hidden depths Which are not theirs to see. In grace God shows it to the one Who, seeking Him, finds this That sin ' s enslaving chains fall off And his release is bliss, While even scoffers gasp to see This metamorphosis. I, too, my mental powers stretch To fathom why He showed it To this foolish sin-bound wretch. The mystery--? Christ lives in me.

They gladly recognize the burden that rests upon them and willingly give of their time and interests as needed to meet together, and after discussion and prayer, make important decisions with Dr. G. Allen Fleece, the president. Some of their decisions have had far-reaching effects in the life and the development of the School, which the Lord has so greatly blessed in the training and sending forth of young people, equipped to proclaim His gospel of grace to the glory of His name.

Dear Seniors: The bond of love and friendship which has been ours during your student life at C.B.C. is now to be superseded by the eternal fellowship that Paul mentions as existing between himself and the Christian brethren, ye are in our hearts to die together and live together (2 Cor. 7:3). The chronological order of these concepts in Paul ' s statement of f ellowship is altogether u- nique. Here is something that belongs only to us who know the Lord. It reminds us that we are no longer faced with a matter of life and death, but with a matter of death and life. His death for us results in our life in Him; our death with Him re- sults in His life in us. As we die together we shall always share together His risen, indwelling life. Ever yours, in Him, X _ FACULTY REV. J. OTIS BRASWELL B.A. in B.E.; Dean of Men; Christian Education, English Bible. Any effective educational program must have some goal to which all its materials are integrated and toward which all its efforts are directed. God has given a perfect capstone for education in the person of the Lord Jesus. For in Him ore hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. The Lord has raised up the Bible colleges that this Stone which many educational builders have rejected might become the head of the corner. Thus the motto, To Know Him and To Make Him Known, expresses the educational philosophy of Columbia Bible College. This means that the Lord Jesus is the source and the teacher of all truth. The Lord Jesus, the Living Word, makes this truth known through the written word. So at C.B.C. the basic consideration is the relation of the student to the Lord Jesus and the relation of the subject matter to the word of God. MISS ELVA H. BROWNLEE This also means that MR. DAVID B. CALHOUN B.A. in B.E.; Assistant Di- tne Lord Jesus is the B - A - in B - E - ' B - D - ' Th-M.; rector, Women ' s Christian , , .., Bible Introduction, English Service; Christian Education. source of the life pro- mb|e Hebrew, Theology. duced by the training. So at C.B.C. it is de- sired that the Lord Jesus bring every area of the student ' s life under His control so that he may say from experience to me to live is Christ. Finally, this means that the Lord Jesus is the source of the power for effective Christian service. So at C.B.C. the theory and practice in Christian service is designed to teach the student that God always leadeth us in triumph in Christ and maketh mani- fest through us the savor of His knowledge in every place.

CL added Freshmen We opened the door to CBC and found an almost new world! There was a new roommate to cope with, those many, new, and unexpected responsibil- ities, new rules, new classes, new people teaching us new things. And how wonderful these new things have been! How much we thank God for the guidance we have been given! How much, too, we thank Him for Mr. Petty, our faculty advisor, who has so wonderfully exemplified this new life of All for Jesus. Most wonderful of all, before us are yet so many new things which God plans to teach us. May He continually renew our sense of the newness and daily delight of being taught by Him.

The Biblical message, ...how good. ..it is for brethren to dwell together in unity, has been a prin- cipal objective of the Sophomore class. That unity of the Spirit which is a sincere, selfless love and concern for each member of the body of Christ, has been mani- fested not only in the meeting times around God ' s Word, but on the athletic field, and in the variegated social activities as well. The Sophomore year of college is one in which some of life ' s most important decisions are made. Intensive exposure to the Word of God for more than a year, plus subsequent close fellowship with the Lord, frequently alters previous attitudes and ambitions. Many sense for the first time the definite call of God to labor daily in His Service. And. there are others, who have been clearly called to terminate their studies here and go into specialized fields of secular training. May God use this class of 1 966— al 1 of us-to put His Word into hearts in all parts of the world. And may we advance through life by the power of our indwelling Christ not somehow-but triumphantly!

It means One more year ! ... it means bloodshot eyes and heads nodding over a Daniel and Revelation chart ... it means a new self-confidence as one assumes the dignified title of upperclassman, undaunted yet by the nearness of a future away from the enveloping arms of a CBC ... it means an islet of stabilazation between the sophomore slump and the senior panic ... it means the fun and expense of giving the Junior-Senior Banquet ... it means praying for and working on the class project ... it means the warm friendliness of classmates, roommates, and the teachers. Hopefully, Mission 65 has characterized this class of 1965 ... grew in wisdom, and stature, and in favor with God and man. Luke 2:52.. We have prayed that God would make this, His four-fold plan of development, a real ity. Being a Junior means the closeness of working towards a common goal of pleasing God, and the joy that comes in the achieving.

Amazing how God has reached into places all over America — and even foreign countries — and into so many ways of life, and has brought together a group which has been as united as our graduate class. The reasons for coming here are equal ly varied; perhaps the meeting of a mission board requirement, perhaps a preparation for full-time Christian service, perhaps only the desire to know the Bible better. But the knowledge that we are here because God has led us here makes our motive the same. In a sense we — especially those who have been working— are suddenly very young again, surrounded by scrubbed, shiny undergraduate faces, enveloped periodically in the off-beat gaiety that charac- terizes a grad social, sitting once again under the genial glare of professors — and how wonderful and different are their classes to what the majority of us have known! Personal devotions — new to some — havebrought us nearer to Christ; class prayer meetings have brought us nearer to each other as we have shared our concerns; Christian service has brought us nearer to the heart of the world as we have shared our God. How precious have been the lessons and truth that the Lord Himself has taught us in our one, two, or perhaps three years in the Graduate School of Missions. Alice M. Aanensen Stuart K.

Here it is: As ye have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in Him, rooted and built up in Him and established in the faith as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving. Be stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord. Abhor that which is evil. Cleave to that which is good. Be not weary in well doing, for in due season you shall reap if ye faint not. All things are yours. And ye are Christ ' s. And Christ is God ' s. There doesn ' t seem, then, to be much reason why you should ever be barren or unfruitful in your knowledge of the Lord Jesus, does there? God bless you all! Sincerely, refer -kkjord A.

Senior days are nostalgic ones for we look back over four years and recog- nize the ending of an era which contained a millenium of lessons and experi- ences, both painful and joyful. We came to this campus before the sidewalks were paved and leave in the year in which two new buildings have been born. In many senses we came in as children and go out as men. We embarked upon this college course with hungry hearts and empty notebooks. Now both our notebooks and our hearts are full, but we find within a deeper hunger to know Jesus Christ. Two truths we have begun to grasp: how inadequate we are and how completely sufficient our God is. We remember our freshman socials and our Greek finals. We ' ll never forget reading Foxes ' Book of Martyrs for Miss Warren or the day the $123,000 came in. We ' ll probably forget what III B I is in Mr. Wenzel ' s theology outline and we ' re sure to bore our mission field colleagues with tales about the antics of our junior year roommates. We may forget some of what Mr. Robertson said in Comparative Religions and not become perfect missionaries and we may not obtain all that Mr. Hatch said in Child Psychology and never become ideal parents, but we shall not forget what the Holy Spirit has said to us so many times through the men and women on this campus. We have been treated as Timothies and now we accept the responsibility of seeking Timothies of our own in a broader area. We praise God for the joy of fellowship and the depth of instruction which we have known at CBC. And we go out unafraid because we have been taught not to lean on the arm of men, but on Jehovah God who alone doeth wondrous works. Brethren, I count not myself yet to have laid hold: but one thing I do, forgetting the things which are behind, and stretching forward to the things which are before, I press on toward the goal unto the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

MUSIC Committee, headed by Dave Scorza, contributed to our culture on campus. One is always tempted to take for granted an organization such as the Student Association and to allow its activities to go by unnoticed and unappreciated simply because they are in the realm of everyday campus life. Yet, it has been discovered by many that one of the most noble expressions of Christ in you may be found in the life which radiates the Lord Jesus, not only in spiritual matters, but also in the everyday, routine affairs of life. It is for this reason that the Student Association is important. Most of its functions and activities pertain to these every day affairs of life. Hardly a day passes in which the Association has not affected the student ' s life in some way. Perhaps the area in which the student is most touched is the special programs and social activities. The President is responsible for drawing up a social calendar and appointing chairmen who organize and present these various activities. The President and his officers are also responsible for special campaigns such as the Red Cross Blood Drive. The special business matters which sometimes arise are cared for first by the officers, and then by the Student Council. The Council is comprised of representatives from various segments of the student body. It is here that the weightier matters of business are discussed and formulated. The Coun- cil also evaluates and occasionally sends recommendations to the Faculty from the students and the Council. On special occasions, prayer meetings are conducted by the Association. In all of these activities, it is the sincerest desire of the four officers, the various chairmen and the committees to promote the fellowship and the spiritual life of the students. EUNICE Strabel led the Program Committee in planning such activ- ities as the Christmas Cantata and the Student Association Banquet. SATURDAY morning with Ronnie Bergen-bi-weekly treat for Student Council! ILLUSTRIOUS Social Committee, headed by Dave Wissel and Beth Smith, added zest and flavor to our routine school life. ENTIRE Student Association is instructed and prepared for Voting Day. Foreign Missions Fellowship FMF Executive Committee: Mr. Irvine Robertson, Advisor; Barbara Jo Tripp, Treasurer; Larry Klassen, Vice-President; Ann McCul lough, Secretary; Jim Fasold, President. FMF Prayer Group, where many battles are won on the field. TOCCOA Missionary Conferences are an encouragement, inspiration, and challenge to those who attend. SEMINARS were held to inform and prepare the prayer group leaders for their responsibility. OPPORTUNITIES to chat with missionaries afford insights into those problems which face the aspiring missionary-trainee. VISITING speakers acquaint the students with situations and needs on the field. The Lord Jesus Christ unto the uttermost. The motto of the Foreign Missions Fellowship reflects its utter dedication to God for world redemption. With the foundation of a basic committal of one ' s whole life to Christ, the FMF seeks first to involve each student personally in God ' s world missionary program; secondly, to see each one confronted with the possibility that God may want him to serve on the foreign mission field; and thirdly, to see each student informed and challenged concerning the foreign field and given opportuniti es to serve God now for missions. Through its activities, the FMF endeavors to achieve these objectives. The weekly Saturday night meetings present programming that is varied. Mis- sionary speakers, often fresh from their respective fields, lay God ' s demands and challenge before the group. Slides or films vividly portray the appalling need of a world without Christ and the progress the church is making. Panel discussions of practical matters such as guidance help make the truth of God a reality in the lives of the students. Students are given opportunities to actively participate in God ' s program. Following the main meeting is a strategic time in prayer groups repre- senting geographical areas of the world. Here, while learning principles of missionary praying, students can join in active, definite intercession and see God do definite work in answer to prayer. In each Tuesday chapel, FMF has the prayer time in which to offer the whole student body an occasion to join in prayer for urgent requests from all over the world. Generally, the students are presented with an opportunity for personal growth in stewardship and believing prayer plus an active involvement in the work of God through an FMF financial project. Each fall and spring a large group joins other college students from all over the southeast for the FMF Southeastern Regional Conference. A weekend of concentrated missionary challenge and information, this conference has proved to be a source of blessing and practical help to many. STEERING Committee is the real back-bone of the Foreign Missions Fellowship. Finial PRODUCTION of the FINIAL was not all toil for the staff; proof: joy of a completed task for Jim Rouse, Editor; Phil Schwab, Editor-elect; Macy Petty, Business Manager; and Ginny Langford, Art Editor. PHOTOGRAPHY Editor, Al Hatch, busy at work in his second home. The Finial is a small slice of history which has been set between two covers as a preservative. As all history, it reports to you the bare facts of what has happened. The 1964 Finial gives an outline of facts — social, spiritual, physical, and in- tellectual — concerning the events of one brief college year. Your own mind will fill in the spaces with fuller details as you leaf through the book; year by year. The interpretation which is placed upon these facts will also be yours, for it will be contingent upon your own relationship to Christ and your personal experiences of how He worked in and for you during this single year. ESSENTIAL to the ' 64 FINIAL were Dottie Cline, Secretary; Bea Hampt, Head Typist, Mien Hatch, Photography Editor; and John Newman, Assistant Photographer. FINAL approval is given by Mr. Raymond Shepherd, year- book advi sor. CEBECEAN Staff. CeBeCean ADDIE Mae Brunner (Associate Editor), Lillian Harris (Editor), and Mr. Newell Ferris (Faculty Advi sor),meet to di scuss problems and future issues of the CeBeCean. The purpose of the CeBeCean is to capture in print a unified record of CBC thought and activity. As a moving picture presentation of a college year and its countless interactions, some portions are serious and some hilarious. Aided by Charlie Horse (the Editor) this year ' s CeBeCean staff has battled budgets and business managers, deadlines and downbeat reporters to put out a bi-monthly publication aimed at stimulating thought and improvement in four areas of Bible college life: social, intellectual, physical, and spiritual . Further than fulfilling its duty as glue in the campus mosaic or a mirror which reflects the intangibles of thought and the tangibles of events, the CeBeCean performs a vital function in the lives of those who assemble it. Working on the staff is an exerci se in maturation and discipline. The product- has been an enjoyable and inform- ative newsp aper - The 1963-64 CeBeCean. WHO else but the CeBeCean staff would pull a stunt like this? DAVE Steele is a key man for the Juniors in intra- mural basketball. There are no intercollegiate athletics at Columbia Bible College for fear that such would draw attention away from the one driving purpose of the school- The administration recognizes, however, the benefits of participation in athletic activities to the young person in training for the Lord ' s service- Therefore, a Physical Education curriculum is required of all freshmen and sopho- more dormitory students, in which physical fitness through daily exercises and a learning of basic sports skills in weekly P.E. classes is empha- sized. Uppercl assmen living in the dorms are required to set aside a specified amount of time each week for participating in the athletic ac- tivities of their choice. There are on campus limi ted facilities for touch football, soccer, basket ball, volleyball, tennis, and weightlifting. In addition to the above requirements, there are organized intramural sports — touch football in the fall, basketball in the winter, and volley- ball in the spring. Tennis and ping-pong tour- ments are arranged upon request. The school also has a basketball team which plays in the Columbia YMCA City League during the basket- ball season. BASKETBALL at the YMCA was Friday night exercise for the boys, and entertainment for the girls. Sports ALERT CBC team awaits Lelnbach ' s shot from the line.

Where else could be experienced such things as: having to arrange a tight schedule allowing just enough time to get to school and slip into the seat as the bell rings; paying the rent, electricity, telephone, and fuel bills with an almost-empty pocket book (the children needs shoes, mommie needs stockings, and daddy needs a much needed Theology textbook); rushing from the last class, swallowing a sandwich on the run to work; doing homework while the children are doing things to show their happiness in daddy ' s being home; preparing sermons or Bible lessons for Christian Service; working on a car in hopes that it might hold together long enought to get you to school tomorrow; receiving un- expected visitors just as the meal has been placed steaming-hot on the table; and let us not forget our exercises: All of this and we still need to find time for daily personal and family devotions. Do we regret it? Are we making apologies and excuses? Not on your life! It is a challenge which we know that cannot be fully met by us. Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think anything as of our- selves; but our sufficiency is of God. (II Cor. 3:5) For this fact we would not trade our positions for the world. ...thanks be unto God which always causeth us to (leadeth us in) triumph in Christ...

MEN ' S Christian Service Director, Mr. Thomas Petty. Christian Service The goal of our Christian Service training is expressed by Paul in his letter to the Galatians, My little children,...! travail in birth again until Christ be formed in you... (Gal. 4:19). Through classes, workshops, personal conferences and prayer groups the Christian Service staff seeks to train stu- dents in the essential skills required by a varied experience in different types of the Lord ' s work, combined with the warm fervency of the constraining love of Chirst to seek the lost. Through teaching opportunities, personal evange- lism, Choir, Pioneer Girls, youth work, and counselling, the young women become channels for God ' s miracle working power in winning children, young people and adult women to the Lord Jesus Christ, and building them up in the Christian faith. God has manifested miracles in opening the public schools to regular weekly Bible teaching, and in continuing house-to-house visitation among the Catawba Indian families on the Indian Reservation. In cooperation with the Men ' s Department and Bethel Bible Mission, work is carried on among the negro population of the city. Senior and Graduate women are selected to serve in the capacity of Advisors who teaches in Bible Clubs and in Public School classes, thereby assisting the staff in observing students actually at work. Many of the Seniors face the challenge of working with juvenile de- linquents in the Girls Industrial School. There opportunities place the stu- dents in a situation which demands that travail of soul in compassion, understanding and prayerful patience which Christ alone can impart ormaintain. Our expectation i s expressed bylsaiah53:ll which speaks of God ' s satisfaction in Jesus ' travail, He shall see of the travail of His soul, and shall be satisfied. May each young woman of CBC serving the Lord Christ, so travail in soul for those for whom she is responsible in Christian Service, that she may see Christ formed in them. n. i ?

DIRECTOR of the Choir, Mr. G. William Supplee. Ambassador Choir A Mighty Fortress Is Our God could well be the battle cry of the Ambassador Choir.. This organization was formed in 1950 as a singing group that would be open vitually to any stu- dent at the Bible College. Those who first joined the choir, when asked what the purpose of the choir should be, were unan- imous in selecting II Corinthians 5:20... Now then we are Am- bassadors for Chri st .. .as the choir motto. This year ' s presi- dent, Gerald Sterrett, has presented several guest speakers who have described to the choir the various responsibilities and obligations connected with being an Ambassador for Christ. Each year the choir presents concerts to approximately eighty churches and high schools with the sole aim of fulfilling the motto of the Bible College — To Know Him And To Make Him Known . CHOIR in action, in one of its home concerts. APPOINTED by the Lord to lead the Choir are Bea Hampt, Secretary; Tom Hutson, President-elect; Gerry Sterrett, Presi- dent; Mr. G. William Supplee, Director; and Mrs. Joyce Supplee, Business Manager. Campus Life LOOK! See the campus— all new and spare and clean looking?
