Night after night the light would pierce The darkness bleak and cold As it guided the weary traveler ' s feet Along the rocky road. The lantern was nothing of worth itself, ' Twos not a handsome sight, But few ever saw the lamp ' s design — They only saw the light! So Christians are but lanterns crude Encompassing within The Very Light of the World — our Lord, As we draw all men to Him. . . . Music Building McQuilkin Hall Classroom Building Shortess Chapel DEDICATION Pastor CBC student Family man Counselor Rev. J. Otis Braswell Dean of Men Teacher Rev. J. Otis Braswell personifies the message of Finial, 1966. As a mem- ber of the Bible College faculty since 1951, he has been not only a light to the world, but a guiding beacon to many students as well. One has only to sit under his teaching or to seek his counsel as Dean of Men, to be made aware that here is one man completely filled with Jesus. Mr. Braswell accepted Christ as his persona] Saviour shortly before his teenage years. Upon graduation from high school in Centry, Florida, his native state, he went to Pensacola where he worked for a while. When the world situation erupted into World War II, Mr. Braswell enlisted in the U.S. Army. His enlistment for two years was lengthened to four, his tour of duty taking him to Africa and later to Italy. As a warrant officer Mr. Braswell served as registrar in the 225th Army Hospital in Naples, receiving a letter of commendation from the French government and the Bronze Star for meritorious achieve- ment from the President of the Unit- ed States. After returning to the States, he again worked in Pensacola, where he began attending a Bible class taught by two Columbia Bible College grad- uates. Soon he was teaching, for his years in service had been rich years of growth in the Christian life. It was at the class where he met Laura Ann Williams, a student at CBC, who later became his wife. In 1946 he enrolled as a freshman at the Bible College. He was married in 1948, and from that time served as student pastor of the Pine Grove Baptist Church where, upon gradua- tion from CBC in 1950, he became full-time pastor. In 1951 Mr. Braswell was asked to return to the Bible Col- lege as assistant in the Men ' s Chris- tian Service office. The year 1956 brought new responsibility as Dean of Men. The decision to return to CBC was a difficult one because the Braswells had prepared for missionary service, but certainly the ministry God has given them here has reached to all the world. Mr. Braswell— to you we dedicate Finial 1966. ADMINISTRATIVE LIGHT The entrance of Thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple. Psalm 119:130 BOARD OF TRUSTEES The Board of Trustees of the Columbia Bible College represents a cross section of the Christian fellowship with members coming from busi- ness, professional life, education, and the ministry. It is the function of the Board to direct the administration of the school through its representative, the President. Committed fully to the objectives for which CBC was found- ed, the Board in its regular meetings seeks to transact the business of the College so that the message of life in Christ may be central in the con- tinuing ministry of the school in the training of students, and in the out- reach of its graduates as they go forth - A Light to the World. Paul R. Van Gorder Chairman of the Board Mr. F. C. Aldridge, Miss Margaret M. Childs, Miss Mary C. Dibble, Dr. John F. Dunlap, Dr. G. Allen Fleece, Mr. Melvin E. Kellar, Rev. R. Arthur Mathews, Dr. Stephen F. Olford, Mr. David H. Petty, Dr. Alan Redpath, Mr. Anthony T. Rossi, Dr. T. Stanlev Soltau, Mr. Wendell H. Tiller, Dr. W. A Whitesell, Mr. Edwin R. Wilson. DR. PAUL R. VAN GORDER Ghairman of the Board PRESIDENT Dear Students: A light to the world! The theme of this year ' s Finial certainly goes to the heart of things. May the coming years find each of us at the heart of things, being a light to the world. Much that the world is calling light today is really darkness. But in the goodnesss of God. amidst all this darkness, the true light already shineth. The true light is not an ideology, or scientific knowledge, or even mere doctrine, but a Person, Jesus Christ. Let everything that you are and everything that you do reveal Christ. This is the reason for our existence: That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world ( Phil. 2:15). Ever vours, in Christ, tfjuu — G. Allen Fleece President % BIBLE COLLEGE ADMINISTRATION The faculty which God has raised up to pilot His work at Columbia Bible College are a contest source of inspiration and refreshment to each student. Whether in administration, counseling, or daily class- room encounters, we find in them the char- acteristic attitude set forth in II Corinth- ians 1 : 24a ( Amplified Version ) : Not that we have dominion [over you] and lord it over your faith, but ( rather that we work with you as ) fellow laborers [to promote] your joy . . . As we have come to appreciate these God-given men and women, we cannot help seeing God ' s marvelous working in bringing them together as an important part of the CBC family. REV. J. OTIS BRASWELL Dean of Men MISS SARA M. PETTY Dean of Women REV. JAMES M. HATCH Dean of Faculty It is the desire of Columbia Bible College that in its training program the Lord would do again for His twentieth century disciples what he did for two of His first century disci- ples on the road to Emmaus. Our goal is the same as theirs: To Know Him and To Make Him Known. And our method of training must be the same. As they communed and ques- tioned with each other— man ' s only educational method— Jesus Himself drew near . . . and He interpreted to them in all the ' Scripture the things concerning Himself. In their case Jesus Himself is the Teacher— He opened their minds. He is also the subject, for He showed them the things concerning Himself. And His Word is the core and foundation of the curriculum, for beginning from Moses and from all the prophets He opened to them the Scriptures. As He thus teaches again, there will be some in the twentieth century who will follow in the train of those early disciples who saw the Light of the World and became a light to the world.

Whether it be mimeographing exams, working the switchboard, helping us stay healthy and happy, or plan- ning our well-balanced meals, each has a part that makes our campus run smoothly and efficiently. Others are busy keeping records, maintaining our beautiful 300-acre campus, or working as secretaries in the many offices. Their joyful spirit as they work with us and serve us exempli- fies the character of the Saviour we love and adore. Mr. Albion P.

McQuilkin Just before school started this year, the Lord called Home one who had been vitally connected with Columbia Bible College for nearly 45 years — Mrs. Robert C. McQuilkin. Although she had not taken an active part in school affairs since her husband ' s death thirteen years ago, CBC was, nevertheless, her very life. Mrs. McQuilkin ' s direction in life was charted at a missionary conference in New Wilmington. Pennsylvania, where as a lively teenager she gave her life to the Lord for missionary service, and where a year or so later she met her husband. Al- though she and her husband were never to reach the foreign field themselves, they were to be used of the Lord in sending hundreds, including four of their own children, to the field in their stead. In 1922. Mrs. McQuilkin was a courageous part- ner with her husband in stepping out into the faraway Southland to help begin the work of Co- lumbia Bible College. Especially then did her hus- band, CBC ' s first president, appreciate her fellow- ship in prayer through many battles of faith. When the last child was sent off to school, Mrs. McQuilkin struck out on her own to teach Bible in Negro schools around Columbia. This led later to her founding of the Bethel Bible Camp, a camp which continues to minister to hundreds of young people each summer. Perhaps nowhere was her bright spirit of faith more evident than in the closing years of her life as she continued her pilgrimage without her life partner and in increasing weakness of body. Her motto, It ' s always better farther along, was se- verely tested through long months of suffering fol- lowing a fall, but on August 30, 1965, mortality was suddenly swallowed up of life for her at the Lord ' s call, which is far. far better! MRS. ROBERT C. McQUILKIN Establishment of Bethel Bible Camp Thy towers are pointing upward . ACADEMIC LIGHT The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the arm- our of light. Romans 13:12 SENIOR CLASS Best expressed in the words of the Apostle Paul, our goal as a Senior Class has been: NOT I BUT CHRIST. We trust that these words will not fade from our hearts as we leave CBC, but that they will become a growing reality in our individual lives as they have in the life of our class. MARGARET M.

We Sophomores have been im- pressed with this principle, as we have sought to think more highly of one another than we do of our- selves, esteeming and looking upon our own interests, but also for the interests of others.

New friends, new surroundings, and a completely new way of life await him. This year at CBC we have come to know and love an out- standing group of incoming stu- dents. As upper-classmen we have learned much from them, and in working with them have come to admire the enthusiasm and zeal they evidence as they seek to learn to know Jesus Christ better and to make Him known. «Altta MMMlhdiM FIRST ROW: D.

Young Dr. Paul G. Culley, Co-director Columbia Bible College Graduate School of Missions To assist in preparing missionaries and other Christian workers, the Graduate School of Missions, organized in 1947, offers intensive instruction in English Bible, Bible-related subjects, missionary principles and methods, field surveys, and medical training courses. Supervised ex- perience in Christian service further ad- vances the purpose of these Bible and missionary studies to train soldiers of Christ for world service under all types of missionary societies. This distinctive graduate school also offers to missionaries on furlough the op- portunity to take advanced degrees, or to refresh themselves in the study of Bible or missionary techniques in a warm at- mosphere of spiritual fellowship. Two degrees are offered bv the school: A Master of Arts in Biblical Education and A Bachelor of Divinity Degree. j Mr. D. Calhoun, Class Advisor Mr. P.

Consideration and love for others in the family of Christ is necessary, both while studying and goofing-off.

Baliles NORTH AFRICA raw FOREIGN MISSIONS FELLOWSHIP Missions is the heartbeat of Columbia Bible College, and the Foreign Missions Fellowship represents this burden so close to the hearts of the students and faculty alike. Through the regular Saturday evening meet- ings, prayer groups, and special seminars con- ducted by guest speakers and missionaries, the command of Christ to carry the Cospel message to the uttermost is constantly kept before us all. The bi-annual Toccoa Missionary Confer- ences in Toccoa, Georgia, offer excellent op- portunities to chat with missionaries and mission board representatives. This year a faith-promise system was inaugurated in which over four thousand dollars was pledg- ed by students for missions. But whether by giving or praying, we thank God for this opportunity to have a part in foreign missions even while still at home.

This privilege has caused all of us on the staff to learn the lesson of trusting God for the big and the small. As we have sought to present the theme, A Light to the World, we trust that this book will be a light, in setting forth not only a school, but also the powerful Christ we PHOTOGRAPHERS: Dave Chandler, Don Jones, Mark Weathers, Joe Pearo (below).

William Supplee AMBASSADOR CHOIR Perhaps no organization on campus has an out- reach comparable to that of the Ambassador Choir. Having II Corinthians 5:20, Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as their purpose and motto, the choir sings their praise to God in churches and schools both in Columbia and in neighboring cities. A further outreach is experi- enced during the annual spring and summer tours, taking the choir as far north as New England and south to Florida. The schedules on these tours are strenuous, but the eternal joy of seeing souls saved and saints stirred is well worth the members ' efforts. It is during these times of physical helpless- ness that each member comes to the end of himself and realizes that God alone must draw men unto Himself. And He does! Mr. G. William Supplee is the choir ' s director, and Mrs. Supplee joins with them in the singing and serves as the choir ' s business manager. As The Light of the World, Jesus Christ, mani- fests Himself through the choir, the darkness of sin and death is shattered, and men enter into His marvelous light (I Peter 2:9).

Nearly one-half of the 1800 graduates are on the foreign field, and the others are working here in this country as teachers, youth leaders, pastors, evangelists, and laymen. Each Thanksgiving the alumni celebrate homecoming at CBC. The fellowship shared by graduate and student is an inspiration to both as they allow The Light to shine forth through them to the world. The goals which the association undertakes each year are appreciated by all. The new hymn books purchased last year and the pro- ject this year of a grand piano, have been and will be a blessing for many years to come. The bond of prayer ties the alumni and students together in their common privilege of making Christ known to all men. Miss Marguerite McQuillan (Alumni Secretary) Rev.

In addition, more than 350 periodicals are regularly re- ceived, including leading missionary, religi- ous, and news magazines. A unique feature of our library is an ex- tensive pamphlet collection and an audio- visual aids department which provides re- cords, phonographs, musical instruments, film -strips and projectors, missionary curios, and a variety of visual aids including over 6,500 flannelgraph and object lessons. An efficient staff of students keeps the library functioning smoothly under the cap- able leadership of our school librarian, Miss Wood. The library is housed in the basement of a men ' s dorm, but we look forward with anticipation to the day the library will have a building of its own. The new library build- ing will be completed within the year for which we praise the Lord. Miss Shirley Wood, Librarian IT LIBRARY STAFF, LEFT TO RIGHT: L. Felton, D. Greer, N. Steams, K. Kuell, S.

At CBC these women meet each month for a time of relaxation and spiritual enrichment. Thus a close tie is maintained between the school and the wives, who make it possible for their husbands to attend. CeBeCean Women ' s Christian Service group STUDENT PRAYER GROUPS Someone has said prayer both changes and continues things. Because Scripture is so definite upon the place of prayer in the believer ' s life, this aspect of Christian experience is stressed in every area of our life at CBC. In the dormitory, in chapel and Christian service groups, in class meetings and F.M.F., and in our individual walk and service we are taught to commit every situa- tion to the One Who cares for us so much. And as God answers, our hearts are filled with praise to Him Who does all things above what we even ask or think (Ephesians 3:20).

ACTIVATED LIGHT Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven (Matthew 5:16). ■ MINISTRY IN MUSIC And He hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the Lord (Psalm 40:3). The new song God has given does lead men to place their trust in the Lord. As the Ambassador Choir, the Spanish Choir, and numerous musical teams have gone out singing their praise unto Jehovah, many have been drawn to Jesus Christ. Each Sunday a special CBC choir sings at a nearby veterans hospital, and Sunday evenings a unique minis- try is conducted by the Spanish Choir at Fort Jackson among the Spanish-speaking soldiers.

Director of Women ' s CHRISTIAN SERVICE God ' s command to let our lights shine before men does not begin when we graduate, reach the mission field, or at any time other than right now! Because we are aware of the urgency of the Gospel message, students and faculty members together are involved in numer- ous Christian service opportuni- ties in the Columbia area. We realize that true Chris- tian activity is simply the out- flowing of what Christ is in us. By means of Bible classes, preaching in prisons, teaching Sunday School, singing in the choirs, or witnessing man-to- man, we have seen God com- municate Himself through us to others.

MINISTRY IN TEACHING Bible clubs, Sunday School classes, and oppor- tunities to teach Bible in the public schools are just a part of the outreach God has given us here at CBC. As children and adults are confronted with the Word of God, the Holy Spirit uses it to convict men of sin and lead them to faith in our risen Lord. Even as we have been taught by the Great Teacher, so the great commission com- mands us to teach, whether at home or abroad. Teen Bible Club grows spiritually and numerically.

Preaching Witnessing Counselling jjOODMBBTC Inviting PERSONAL WITNESSING No form of Christian service offers so many occasions for sharing the Gospel message as does man-to-man witnessing of the indwelling Christ and what He has done in our lives. Whether downtown shopping or on a special Christian service assignment such as State Fair, hospital visitation, or working with soldiers at the Service Men ' s Center, we must be al- ways available to allow Jesus Christ to communicate Himself through us. Telling MINISTRY IN PREACHING One of Paul ' s commands to the young pastor Timothy was Preach the Word. Twentieth century Timothys at CBC are given many opportunities to minister God ' s Holy Word in churches as student pastors, in prisons, and at young people ' s rallies. This God-ordained method has no substitute and no equivalent. Jesus Christ came preaching. The apostles were sent forth preaching. And today the question still stands — How shall they hear without a preacher? Winning Leading ■ ! %w . t-. i « , „ „ j « ' hi- tf v.. Soccer team edges A. C. Flora Falcons 2-0 in a close thriller.

Girls participate in intramural basketball, archery, and tennis, while the fellows compete in soccer, football, tennis, basketball, and cross country.
