Conquerors Bible Col lege has shown continual growth from its beginning in 1953 to the present time. A mortgage-free campus with updated facilities and pleasant surroundings adequately serves a growing student body. The entire col- lege program testifies honorably to the capable leadership of the Board of Directors. CBC has been guided through sixteen years of remarkable advancement by the mature and able directorship of the twelve-member board. The staff and students commend these conscientious, Spirit-directed men for their wise, concerned leadership in this institution dedicated to the betterment and training of Pentecostal youth. These t velve ministers and laymen represent the three districts of the United Pentecostal Church which share in the control of the policies and property of the college. They are elected by their own separate conferences, and they, in turn, appoint all the personnel of CBC. The policies of the college are determined in tri- annual meetings of the board. Their conscien- tiousness in adhering to UPC standards of doc- trine and holiness has resulted in the upholding of the same righteous standards at CBC. . . . BOARD OF DIRECTORS Washington- B. C.

C. Haskell Yadon THE PRESIDENT SPEAKS. . . Events both good and bad mark human history. But, there are special events when one is certain that God has intervened in human affairs. Such is the history of Conquerors Bible College. like the pioneers of the Old Oregon Trail, the pioneers of this college have known sacrifice and suffering along the way. As the inner urge of the pioneer spirit would not let men rest until they had cut their way through the unmarked wilderness to the shores of the Pacific, so there has been an inner urge of the Holy Spirit in the hearts of dedicated men and women, who through the years of sacrificial seirvice have left their mark in the field of Christian education. The testimony to this fact is born out by ministers and missionaries who find themselves in the service of the Lord in fields around the world. While such Investments may be intangible, they are eternal. It is to this end that this Bible college is dedicated: that truth might live and the Gospel of Jesus Christ be proclaimed in this our day. We are conscious of the debt that we owe to those who have gone before us in their various capacities. By their sincere dedication to the work of God, they have made a lasting contribution to the lives of scores of young people. We are also conscious that our Bible college does not stand alone. There are laymen, congregations, and churches across the fellowship that have been careful to share with us in our responsibilities as well as in our joys. What about the future? We believe that we have a positive future in Jesus Christ. We are equipping ourselves to serve God in a day of adversity, when everything that can be shaken will be shaken, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain. We believe that God ' s truth will endure to aU generations, and this one is no exception. We see an army of militant Christians, bearing witness to the truth and the power of God and the Gospel of Jesus Christ in the face of all that Satan can produce, standing triumphantly clothed in the whole armor of God. This we believe is our future. We dohave a sense of direction. It is forward, onward, and upward. Jesus Christ is our absolute. We love Him; we serve Him; we trust Him.
