MILDRED HENKE 1 thank God that by Ilis grace we can be conquerors. Without His constant help 1 should not be graduating from B. B. I. Truly during the past two years I have come to know the Lord in a better way., and have experienced His presence in the midst of trial. From the heart I can say, “Thanks be to God which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ..” NELLADELE HENKE 1 thank the Lord for the two years spent at B. B. I. 1 know that He led me here, and, though sometimes the way seemed dark, Jesus was near to comfort and cheer. 1 can also thank the Lord for many lessons learned in trusting Him for every need. Just as He led me here, I know that He will direct my path into the place of service He has held for me. “Wherever the Lord can best use me; that’s where I want to be.” MAXINE MILLER I was saved when I was in the sixth grade. I had always gone to church and known the way of salvation, but had never applied it to my own heart and life. Iiow I thank God for a Christian mother who led me to the Lord. The future seems uncertain as to where the Lord w'ould have me serve, hut I am looking forward to telling hoys and girls about our Saviour tins summer. I have received many rich blessings here at B, B. I. from the daily lessons, and also from the fellowship with other Christian young people. A verse that has meant much to me. is Hebrew's 12:1-2.

WILMA DEAN “Bui my God shall supply all your needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.” (Phil. 4:19.) I believe that the two years I have spent at B. B. I. have been the most profitable, helpful arid joyful years in my life. 1 could never expect to crowd as many lessons, experiences and blessings into two years as I have during 1946-45. Christ has become nearer and dearer to me every day as I have had U lean upon Him for my every need. The memories of Van Osdel Hall shall also be long remembered. My desire now is to BE and DO what Christ expects of me. MAXINE DUNITHAN “After all He’s done for me; after all He’s done for me. How can I do less than give Him my best, and live for Him completely? After all He’s done for me.” I am glad that I ac- cepted Jesus while I was yet quite young in order that I might have my whole life to live for Him. He took my feet out of the mirey clay, set them on the solid rock, Christ Jesus, and has given me the blessed hope of eternal life. I thank Him for leading me to B. B. I. to study His precious word so that I might be better prepared to tell others the way of salvation. My life is Proverbs 3:5-6, “Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and lie shall direct thy paths.” DONNA HARRIS Romans 10:13 says, “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” I praise the Lord that “whosoever” included me, and now I am redeemed by the blood of the Lamb. 1 praise Hrm for the privilege of at- tending B. B. I. because 1 have come to realize more and more what Christ did for me when He shed His precious blood on the Cross of Calvary ibat I might have eternal life. I also praise Him for the sweet, Christian fellowship that 1 have enjoyed with the girls at Van Osdel Hall. Now as I leave school, I pray that I might always put Him first, others second, and myself last, that I might serve Him better. Twenty-six

ANITA ZABEL Every word of God is pure: He is a shield unto them that put their trust in Him.' (Proverbs 30:5.) There was a time, not so long ago when I was not trusting in God, but went my own way with no thought of Him. Suddenly I realized that there must come an end to this life sometime, and from reading God’s word 1 knew that 1 could either have eternal life in the world to come, or be eternally punished in hell for mv sins. I chose the way of eternal life by believing in Christ, who died for the sins of the world. I have put my trust in Him, and He has shielded me often in maov different ways. MARY ZEGELIEN Pslam 48:14—“For this God is our God forever and ever: He will be our guide even unto death.” How can 1 put into words my deep feeling of thankfulness and gratitude to God for loving me, saving me, and then guiding me to B. B. I.? He certainly did have His hand in guiding me here, for even against outside opposition the way was opened for rne to he one of many to enroll in September, 1946. He has taught me many things during this short period, both from His w-ord, and every-day experience. Em going forth into His work to serve Him with my all, knowing that it is His will, and to His honor and glory. He didn’t make it! Twenty-eight-
