71g; w M CANDIDA T E 1962 Concordia Theological Seminary Springfield, Illinois In the cross of Christ there is but one time-eternity. But in our present state, bounded by a sinful nature and a sinful world, we live by chronological timee- past, present, and future. It is into these three broad areas that our lives, as disciples of Christ, are roughly di- vided. In each area the Spirit of God has been and will be activating us as His ttfishersh and utilizing us in the never-ending task of reach- ing out to men with the net of the Gospel. Thus the theme for the 1962 CANDIDATE is Outreach e- Past, Present, and F uture. S 0 FAM ILIAR D N A R A I u M A F NOT SCENES i3: .13... ;il.f- is? 5. Ari DEDICATION In honest recognition of his intelligent and spirit- ual efforts to develop us in preparation for a most important phase of our service in the Church of our Lord, we, the graduat- ing class of 1962, grateful- ly and proudly dedicate this Candidate t0 MARK J. STEEGE, Th.D. CLASS MOTTO: V f any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God giveth: that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ? I Peter 4:11 THE HIGHEST HONOR The greatest honor that can be bestowed on any man on earth is to call him a faithful minister of Christ. This honor the graduating class of Concordia Seminary, Springfield, Illi- nois. asks for each of its members. For in their motto the more than one hundred members of the class of 1962 are calling upon each individual member to involve himself in a ministry having the highest aim and purpose possible for men on earth, namely, iithat God in all things may he glorified through Jesus Christ? God is glorified through Jesus Christ when men believe, hope, and trust in Him as their Father in heaven, knowing that He has made them and still preserves them; that He has pro- cured salvation for them and has brought them to faith in the Savior; that He has promised them a place in heaven and will keep them faithful to the end that they may have this gift of life. A ministry that offers these gifts of God to men is rendering the highest possible service on earth. To be accounted faithful in such a ministry is an honor that only God is able to bestow. The class of 1962 seeks this honor for its members, not for the honoris sake, but for the bless- ings offered to men through the faithful minister. To this end it urges each member to per- form his ministry in reliance on the power which God supplies, encouraging him to look to God, the Giver of all good gifts, for ability wisely to use the gifts which have been showered uponihim, that through such service men may be saved and God may be glorified. That is also the end and aim of the whole program of study and preparation of the sem- inary: to enable the future minister of the Word to glorify God in his work, that as a pastor he may in turn lead his members so to believe and so to live that God may be glorified in them. May every member of the class of 1962 dedicate himself wholly and always to this work so that Godis blessed purpose may he achieved in and through him and God will he glorified. This is the prayer of one who considers it his highest honor to be Your servant in Christ, TO THE CLASS OF 1962 It is difficult to perform a task when one knows he will never do it again. This is the last message I shall write for the Year Book. My parting counsel to the graduates would be a reminder that they are beginning their min- istry in 66the last days?7 While the Gospel message is the same in any agHsin and grace, Christ and the crosseits presentation requires an intensity of proclamation today in word and deed as never before. As the Christians in the First Cen- tury, you are going out into a pagan world in which Christian- ity is a minority religion. In such an age and under such circum- stances, traditional middle-class congregational Christianity which characterizes our society cannot and will not be effective. Only the zeal and the methods prac- ticed by the saints in the first two hundred years of the Christian Era can again iiturn the world up-side-downY7 May God give you the zeal, the intelligence, and the spirit of sac- rifice required for the successful performance of that task. Past President $757.,f, TO THE GRADUATING CLASS The class of 1962 will always have a special place in my heart. Four years ago I came to Spring- held as a somewhat green profes- sor of Greek and Latin. We had at that time a classification known as ilSophomore Specials? These were college grads who had not had Greek. They made up my class. Most of these men are graduating this year. We initiated each other to Springfieldi Then I also had a class of Latin students. We interspersed a little Vulgate, Chemnitz, and Gerhard with a considerable amount of theologizing and wise - cracking. Here was another initiation. To- day most of these men, as grave and reverend Sem IV men, are leaving our hallowed halls. Most of you look as if you will serve the Lord well in the greatest call- ing a man can enter. Our prayers, our affection, and our continuing interest go with you. In a certain sense, I suppose I shall always think of Springfield in terms of the class of ,62. These thoughts will always be thoughts of kindness and hopbkindness toward you and hope for your work, for the future of the congregations and the Church which you will serve. May God bless you all, and keep you steadfast in His Word, in faith in your Savior, and in service unto life everlasting. In Christ, our blessed Redeemer. W' Acting President FACULTY HENRY J.

BETO LUEBKE-ELBERT LUTHERAN HOUR VISITORS FROM ENGLAND, FRANCE AND GERMANY CONCORDIA DAY-REFORMATION FESTIVAL Dear Lord, to Thy true servants give The grace to Thee alone to live. Once bound by sin, but saved by Thee, They go to set the pris'ners free, The Gospel-message to proclaim That men may call upon Thy name. They gladly go at Thy command To spread Thy Word o,er sea and land. Be Thou with them and make them strong To heal sin$s ills, to right the wrong. Thou rulest over wind and wave, And mighty is Thine arm to save. When all their labor seems in vain, Revive their sinking hopes again; And when success crowns what they do7 Oh, keep them humble, Lord, and true Until before Thy judgment-seat They lay their trophies at Thy feet. Amen. W. Gustave Polack, 1937 LINN HAITZ: Business man, lay missionary, Gospel preacher. When Linn Haitz left behind an established business to become a lay missionary to Nigeria, he entered a world of strange belief, peculiar tradition, and pagan superstition. He found ignorance and primitive living, but he also found people willing to hear the Gospel. His book, JUJU GODS, poignantly tells their story. Then, as now, and for the days ahead he has dedicated himself to the proclamation of this Gospel to all who will listen. v women, w 2 , sions on lands ALBRECHT-BAEPLER-COYNER MEMORIAL BOOK FUND PRESENTED TO THE LUTHERAN HOUSE OF STUDIES, CAMBRIDGE, ENGLAND, BY THE GRADUATING CLASS OF 1962 In Memoriam Dr. Walter W.

In our struggle to become useful instruments jor the Loris work it strengthens us to know that we are being carried forward by our broth ers, not only through their prayers but also by their gifts. Your generous gift makes a very real contribution in en- abling our little seminary to equip us with basic tools for the work of bringing the W ord of God to those many in this land who do not know the power and joy of the Gospel of Jesus Christ in. their lives. We give grateful thanks to our heaven- ly Father who has prompted you to re- member this far-off seminary in its small beginnings so that it may be better equipped to send forth labourers into His harvest.

BISHOP OF GOTHE ONATHAN CREMER irst graduate of Westfield House WESTFIELDA HOUSE Librarywstudies and Common Room Q DEDICATION 2nd Floor: Students, Rooms FROM WHITE HORSE INN T0 WESTFIELD HOUSE In the 15205 Cambridge men gathered at the White Horse Inn to read the works of Martin Luther. From among them came leaders for the English Reformation: Bilney, Latimer and another Augustinian, the Prior of the nearby monastery, Robert Barnes. A stonels throw away stands the Church of St. Edward where the Reformation was preached. Now in this place men are to train for the service of Christ in the Lutheran ministry. The works of Luther read at the White Horse Inn were smuggled through in bales of cloth from the Low Countries. Now three centuries later from across the water comes a gift which will again bring the works of Luther to Cambridge, to be read and studied this time at Westfield House where men may train for the Lutheran ministry, and with Gofs help also in our day witness a good confession. The gift of this yearls graduating class will be the earnest of our purchase of the reprinted Weimar edition of Luthefs works. The gift commemorates the witness ol Christ in the lives of Albrecht, Baepler and Coyner. The Lutheran witness to Christ has sounded far through the world. It rang clear in these three teachers of the church. It rings back again to the Old World with this gift and its en- ablement of students in Cambridge to nourish their witness from our shared Lutheran heritage. In Cambridge with its perspective of centuries we may see our little Westfield House as something that God in His mercy may have good use for. The Albrecht-Baepler-Coyner Memorial Book Fund enlarges that usefulness. With this gift you are thanking God for the work and wit- ness of these His promoted servants. We join with you in this and say our heartfelt thanks also to you the givers, and above all to Him who has given us Himself. 3 , 'i SERVICE IN LIBRARY OF WESTFIELD HOUSE 61 Mr. D. T. Prvcht, A.A.L.

Thank you for a very special evening of entertainment and fellowship Friday night in Selke Lounge. We enjoyed every minute of it. How very nice to be in a comfortable place too, with a little atmosphere. We know how much work must have gone into just the surroundings and the food, but it was truly appreciated. Seeing and meeting a few of the ttsingleh students was a special pleas- ure to us. Who knowsgif this keeps up we may even get to know each other. And all that tal- ent! Thank you again.

Formerly pastor of he great Marienkirche in Berlin and pro- essor of dogma at the University of Erlan- ten, Dr. Sasse now teaches at Immanuel eminary in Adelaide, Australia. Dr. Sasse shared with us the many insights If scholarship he has acquired during a life- ime of study. We came to understand the hristian church, the ecumenical movement nd the confessions of the Lutheran Church In broader ways than we thought possible. Ir. Sasse, who is perhaps the greatest pa- ristic scholar in the Lutheran world, opened p the 'world of the early church for us in new and exciting way. The great ques- ions of the Fathers were asked again in our wn minds. For all these experiences we were deeply rateful. Dr. Sassets life and thought will lways be for us a thrilling example of what t means to follow the Master. CONCOBDIA SEMINABY CHOBUS X3.
