For the Bible Institute evening school this is the sixth and for the day school th© fourth commencement, but for the Seminary his $ the first. This great event marks the fulfillment of the hopes and prayers of the many friends of the school. The Lord has done great things for us whereof we are glad. This is in deed commencement, and we trust that there will ce an ever-increasing number of well-trained men and women of strong conviction going forth from cur schooJ into God's great harvest field at home ard abroad. The year 3948-49 Fas been marked by real academic progress. Upon recommenda- tion of a special nvestigating committee appointed by the Michigan State Board of Education we have been authorised to grant the B.D. degree to those seminary grad- uates who have an A.6. degree or its equivalent. For al this we praise God. However, our greatest progress has been spiritua . In all the classes, and especia y in the chapel services, there has been the consciousness of the Lord's presence. Visitors have often commenced on the spiritual atmosphere pervading the school. There has been an increasing burden for the mission ’held and many of our number both in the Seminary and Bible Institute ere prepar’rg fo- tnsr service. May none of Ihese ach’evemenfs lead u$ to pride but rather to deep humility before God in order that the Lord's favor may continue to rest upon us.

A Good Word for Our Official Board Most school boards, of whatever complexion they may happen to be, are considered in most cases necessary nuisances; that which is required by law, and hence must be tolerated. But we are persuaded far better things of the official board of the GRAND RAPIDS BAPTIST THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY AND BIBLE INSTITUTE. Every mem- ber, meeting monthly in official session, seeks earnestly and prayerfully to know the mind of the Lord as to the needs of both school and students. Every meeting is begun with prayer on our knees before God, for we know that without beseeching HIS leading, and waiting upon the guidance of HIS Holy Spiril, all our efforts will go for, nought. No one can fully know nor appreciate the hours and efforts expended by these twelve members in the best interests of the whole school. Six business men and six pastors comprise the combined membership. Their interest In the school and thanks- giving to God for its existence is as great as that of any student enrolled in its courses. The beard members covet your prayers. Since we are fallible and make mistakes, it will be only by the intercession of you who are vitally interested in the school that we can work that which Is well pleasing in HIS sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory forever and ever,' — DAVID OllS FULLFR, Chairman Faculty LOUIS ARKfcMA — A.B.

This is not, however, to despise theological education. Every thought as well as emotion, affection and will should be brought into captivity to Christ. In this age with its pagan philosophies and isms, the preacher should be aware of the enemy he faces. He should, over against them, be able to present a vigorous apologetic for the historic Christian faith. He should be able to thoroughly ground his people in the Word of God which he may know more ade- quately through s'..dy of the Scriptures in their original languages and whose teachings he has sum- marized in a study of Systematic and Biblical Theology. Only a seminary training, as yielded to Christ and used by the Holy Spirit, ordinarily can produce such a preacher. — WILLIAM H. PARDEE •' 13 • Seniors GE.RRIT CETON Fruitport, Mich. One-two-ihree-four years. That seems to bo the rate of speed they passed. Four years of the sweetest fellowship we have enjoyed. After spending nearly half of our alloied years of toil in a power plan! as engineer, it seems precious to come to a real Power Plant where Gcd is the Engineer. In rhe former place His name was generally used bias- phemcusly. Here at 8.T.S. it is used only in praise. A fuller revelation concerning Himself — for this I praise h‘m. For entrance into a richer, ft ler deeper spiritual experience, my heart responds in gratitude. Fellow- ship with Christ my Lord, with saints of like mind; what more could anyone desire! Even now a tinge of sadness appears. I I miss my pal who shared the radiator with me — the qenia president who always had a solution for the problems we presented — the smiling registrar who answered our gripes in kind the godly instructors who so patiently dealt with our short- comings. Never can we forget the Interest they exhibited toward each individual. It has been a precious four years; a foretaste of the time when, once more united, but this t me face to face, we can srng His praises together. Fond memories will recall the blessings of this grand experience. May God shower His choicest blessings upon the school and upon a who are row or will be in the future connected with it. Man because of his creation in the image and likeness of Gcd has the potentialities of spiritual thought and serv- ice. As I loci back upon these years in the Bapt’st B’ble Semirary. I believe we have together been thinking after the thoughts of God. These have been happy years, and they were such for they have been spent in His p°esence ard with His author’tative Word. am grateful to the many who have made h‘ school possible. They are not the ones who receive diplomas out are the h dden saints and unknown churches of cur district. ! am grateful also for the teaching stai of our seminary. These men who are called and equipped for this work of cooperation with God are makinq fishers of men. What mere can J say? Only this: f am sorry it is over. I look forward to eternity when we can do more thari just see through a glass darkly. • 14 • VICTOR MATTHEWS Byron Center, Mich.

A Class That Is Different! This class may appear to be sma'.’, but if really isn't. It is quite complete. There are seven members, and seven is the ’perfect number. Besides this, it wi be noted by checking the names alphabetically that they begin with A and end with ‘Z . It is a different class as to its members. No fwo are cut from the same pattern: there is noi an 'echo in the grouo. Only in a truly Baptistic school could seven such strikingly different (I his word $ used advisedly) fellows get along sc har- moniously! At some time in classroom discussion each one has held out against iue rest of the class in defense of his view on some subject. vet there is not a class to be found anywhere which is so knit together in the bonds of Christian love and fellowship. 3ecsuse of this bond in Christ, the whole class, v ith their families gather together ir one of their churches for one Sunday evening service each month. What a wonderful time1 of fellowship this is! Every member is used in some capacity in that service. There are four ex-G.i.'s ec.d four pastors of Baptist churches in this class.

The Enabling Christ I thank Him that enabled me, even Christ Jesus our Lord, for that He counted me faith- ful, appointing me To His service. [I Tim. 1:12, R.V.) Once Saul, now Paul, his entire life, ambitions and goa changed as v eJI as his name. Shackled by the irons of Jewish tradi- tions, clutched with the manacles of Rabbinical discriminations, propelled with fervency end fanatical zeal for his religion, he lived a life of death. But by dying he lived again. From then on he was thankful. I thank Him that enabled me to smolder the flaming hate of heart and to kindle the lamp of life, to shatter the aircasVles of Rabbinical aspira' lions for the palace in the sky, to exchange the smoke and shadows of Sinai's servility for liberty's law of life and hope. Yes. He has enabled me to step from position to poverty, from flowing robes to tatters, from the judicial judgments of the Sanhedrin's senate sessions to damp dungeons, stripes, blood, hunger and thirst. Dear fellow students, we find ourselves from various walks of life within the bounds of God's enablement. In each life there has been the Red Sea. frustration, impossibilities, and the insoluble, but they have been stepping stones of God's enablement. Remember, He is counting us faithful. Let us also remember that the Christian life is a paradox. We keep by giving, are exalted by being humble, win by defeat, rejoice through weeping, are free by being bound, find by losing, traverse hemispheres on our knees, live jgy dying, and wake by sleeping. • 16 • — GERRIT SCHUT SECOND YEAR PRE-SEMI NARY Fronf Row, Left to Right: Walter Winebrenner, Frank Collins, Keith Mclver, Larry Jones, Bruce Stine, Robert Bearse, Leonard Feerick.

Second Year Pre-Seminary Class In September, 1948, the Second Year Pre-Seminary class called the roll, and thirteen men answered. They chose their class officers, and here they are: President, Milton Barkley: Vice-President, Jay Nauta: Secretary-Treasurer, William Roller; and Student Council Repre- sentatives, Robert Nelson and Gerald Bolthouse. Everybody but Frank Co! ins, Walter Wine- brer,ner Lawrence Jones, Ler, Feer'ck, Lawrence Mathis, Bruce Stine Keith Mclver, and Rob- erf Bearse was elected an officer. The cl ass voted to take on some practical Christian work, and appointed a committee which found that the First Bapt’st Church at Lowell had no pastor, and that attendance at church and Sunday School was very low. The class voted to help the church by supplying the speakers for the services, and they canvassed +hs city, telling the people of Christ's power to save, and inviting them to the Evangelistic Services. Nearly all the fellows in the class have preached. The attendance in the children's Sunday School class has increased •from one to ten. Ihe class also sponsors a youth rally every other Saturday night. The members of the class have had a good time serving the Lord, and they realize that it is a privilege to proclaim the wonderful Gospel of God's grace. They can say with Paul: For I am net ashamed of the Gospel of Christ, for If is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believeth. (Romans 1:16.) I hey look forward to proclaiming His Word for many years to come wherever they may be. — WILLIAM ROLLER FIRST YEAR PRE-SEMJNaRY Front Row, Left fo Right: Ha-old Collins, Warren Crow, Paul Versluis, Donald Perkins, Lloyd Carter.

(II Timothy 2; I 5) • 18 • • 19 • Joyful Living The Scriptures are clear that God desires His children to be joyful in their daily attitude. Perhaps no one Book expresses this thought more clearly than does Philippians, though Paul was in prison at the time when he penned its lines. Such passages from it, as 1:4; 1:18: 2:17: 4:1 and 4:10. tell of Paul’; own inner attitude as being thus characterized; and 1:26; 2:18: 2:28: 2:29; 3:1 and 4:4 refer to ihe joy which the Philippia ns either had already or were admonished to have by the Apostle. True joy, such as is spoken of in these passages, is not something light, frivolous, skin-deep only, or to be put on like a garment; rather, it is a disposition of the heart, which is deep-seated, abiding, and influential in all life's aspects; being grounded in the peace-giving doctrines of God's Word, nourished by Scripture's precious promises, made permanent in the testings of daily trials, and designed unto the glory of God. Surely it was joy of this kind which was Paul's possession for it remained with him even inside prison doors. It was such joy that he wished the Philippians to experience, as the references cited would indicate. It is the same that the Holy Spirit would admonish to those whom He indwells in this day to culti- vale in their lives. — LPON J.

The first few days resulted in a havoc of confusion as our minds whirled the many questions that we didn’t dare ask. How can I remember the names of my rocm-mates? What was that Typology assignment? When, oh when will that buzzer sound for dinner. The little, green-eyed monsters Doubt and Homesickness soon reared their ugly heads, yet the Peace that passeth all understanding was ours, and our hearts sang as we dropped to our knees for devotions. Time passed quickly, and events such as the reception the sleigh ride with the liquid sunshine,” and devotions at Townsend Park amid the flickering shadows of the bonfire now ding like fragrant incense to our memories, and will continue to do so long after our footsteps have cessed to resound in the corridors of Van-Osdel Hall. The picnic arrived at last and after the dismissal of school we departed on our separate ways during the summer months. In September we were reunited again, missing those who had graduated, and greet- ing the new faces with the wise, understanding smiles of veterans. As the time for our commencement rapidly approaches, it is wilh anticipation that we look forward to the future. The Great Reaper has placed His hard on the living seed, and called some to the foreign field, some to the home field, and others to further training. As we put cur hands to the plow we ook forward to the lime when we shall meet Him face to face. — IRENE PITCHEORD FiRST YEAR INSTITUTE CLASS Front Row, Left to Right: Jean Knottnerus.

First Year Classes The first-year Bible Institute ard Pre theological classes are Aaking, with one exception, the same subjects, and we have our classes together. Because of this we have combined in the election of officers and the sponsoring of social events. The officers elected are as follows: President, Paul Verslu’s: Vice-President, Elsa Knudsen- Secretary. Evelyn Smith; and Treasurer, Glen Ozinga. The two members chosen for the Student Council were Mrs. Warren Crow and Don Perkins. The social events attendee by the class included a picnic at John Ball Park with the sec- ond year students, the annual reception at the Lake Drive Baptist Church, and a sleigh-ride. At I he reception the timid first-year students were warmly welcomed, and given a preview of things to corne when Bob Nelson and Woody McGaleb taught classes in Greek one Philosophy. The imprev’sec campfire was a very appropriate setting for the inspiring devo- tions message brought by Dc. Fuller. We have as our class motto, “For us to live is Christ,” gnd our class song is, Living for Jesus. We hope and trust that these will continue to be an inspiration to us not only during our school years, but also throughout our entire life cn this earth, — MARY LOU RATHBUN and JOE CRAWFORD • 28 • • 29 • A Challenge to Students on Behalf of the Alumni ‘Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. And the things that fhou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, v ho shall be abfe to teach others also.' (fl Timothy 2:1-2.} The apostle Paul was in prison soon to depart and be with Christ. He instructs Timothy how to carry on. Paul was practical. He knew Timothy needed first to look to Christ and not to Paul tor strength. He knew that the work was to be perpetuated, not alone by winning souls, nor by more prayer, nor by revival meetings, but also by faithful men wot! taught. So he tells Timothy to teach faithful men. Graduates end students alike should realize that those who have instructed us and supported cur school are to us what Paul was to Timothy. It is for us to support them with our daily prayers, and in every other possible way, so that they can admonish others to be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus, and commit the Vv'ord ot God to them who shall be able to teach others also. — BUDD BENTLEY • 31 • JOHN C.

Army, made this statement: We have neglected to tell our young people that democracy is a two-way street — that with its bene fits comes the necessity for also giving service. This true statement can also be forcibly- applied to salvation. Along with its benefits (temporal and eternal] come both the priv'lego and necessity for real Christian service. At this point the evening school of B.B.I. (along with the day school) enters the picture. It is her® that Christians who fee! their need for more training to be better able to get the Gospel out, find the help which they need. It is not just happenstance that our school occupies such a warm spot in our hearts. From the opening prayer and hymn of the first class to the closing prayer of the last class there is ample evidence that this means of grace is not being neglected, and we know that God still answers prayer. Overcoming obstacles seems to be the accepted thing, end our faculty is gifted along this line also. Ask Mr. Kno! if total darkness dampens h:s enthusiasm An Doctrine Class, or if he even needs the candles supplied by our good Registrar. It would not be right to fail to mention the effect of the Chapel Hour on tired bodies and weary minds. Without fail we return to the last class praising Him who washed us in His own blood.'

The idea never entered my mind that it was going to be difficult to study after being out of school for some years, so I plunged in, unav are of the future. Soon began a steady stream of preparation—questions upon questions books and more boots, plus paper and pencils, and for qood measure an element of suspense in wondering how we were going to come out. After a short period of six weeks the instructors announced examinations. Dreams and sleepless nights followed, and then the day of the examinations with its usua. symptoms such as a headache and loss of appetite. I remember too, that the joys cverba ance the difficulties. We are rewarded with a better understanding of Sod s Word, which in turn results in increased faith, joy, peace and love. In addition to these blessings there is the one of acquiring worth- while friendships and lasting acquaintances. Again. I remember the inspiration and helpfulness of the chapel services—the challenge of the missionary messages, the encouragement of the earnest testimonies of fellow students, the soul-searching devotional messages from faculty members and visiting Christian workers, and the stirring singing of the old hymns and gospel songs. All Ihese things add up to blessings immeasurable and enduring. With the Psalmist we exclaim: Oh, how great is Thy goodness, which Thou hast laid up for them that fear Thee. (Ps. 31:19.) • 36 - RUTH L. QUINCER Alumni News The Alumni Association consists of about sixty members who have scattered con- siderably since their days in 6.B.I. In an effo't to keep in touch with bach ether we are editing a paper called, 'Alumni News. Two of the evening school graduates Gudd Bentley and Hollis Tiffany, are now attending the Seminary. John Bussema Harry Fish, Guy Dillon, Charles Stark, Doug Stark, and Edward Rathbun are pastors of churches somewhere in Michigan. The only one to reach the foreign field I bus far is William Carmichael, in. the Gold Coast, West Africa. Those on home mission fields include the following: Wilma Dean is a Bible teacher in the Bethel Children's Home. Jackson, Kentucky; Donna Harris is working in the slum districts of Detroit; James VerLee is director of the Jack and Jill Bible Camp near Grand Rapids; Gladys Yates is a mission worker in the mountains of West Vir- ginia' Florence Wilson works with the colored children of Grand Rapids; and Guy King, as pastor of Watersmeet Baptist Church in the Upper Peninsula is a missionary to that area under the Hiawsthaland Independent Baptist Missions. Many others are at work in their home churches teaching Sunday School, working with the Young People, teaching Bible classes, and helping with Child Evangelism. Others have gone elsewhere to take further training in preparation for the Lord's Work. Among these are Misses Della Hayes, Mildred Henke, Caroline Hovingh, and Doris Kcons. who are taking up nursing. The Alumni request your prayers that they might fulfill the work God has for them, that it might be for His honor and glory. — MRS.

Each member counts it a real privilege to be able to take part in this phase of tine Lord's work. Certainly each one will tell you what a blessing and a joy he or she has received this year by singing for the honor and cilery of the Lord. Although this was the principal motive, the Word was given forth n song, and several offerings were taken which went toward the payment of the school library, he programs also served as an advertisement for the school in interesting young people in preparing for the Lord's service. The chorus has had several appearances in churches in this city and outlying com- munities. The first real program was the Christmas concert given by the schooi at the Quarry Avenue Baptist Church in Grand Rapids. They have also sung a+ a youth rally in Lowell, at the Berean Baptist Church, in Allegan, and several other places. — SHIRLEY KING • 40 Musical Organizations The students of the Baptist Theological Seminary and Bible Institute have taken a new interest in music this year, for which we praise the Lord. Besides the regular choir we have several small groups which the Lord has been using in various services in and around the city. Several hidden talents were discovered at the Girls' Fellowship meetings. Duets were sung by Shirley King and Carolyn Cox, and by Darlene Eby and Lois Boer. There were vocal solos by Madge Camelin, Carolyn Cox. Connie Alba, Lucille Retan and Bonnie Gal- vin. Instrumental music was furnished by Jean Sivertsen on the accordion, Doris Woodruff on the violin and Darlene Eby on the trombone. The pianists, Darlene Eby, Carolyn Cox, and Mary Jane Crow were really kept busy playing for the various groups. The freshmen have a musical organization known as the Blessed Hope Trio, composed of Milliceat Young, Shirley King and Carolyn Cox. Their popularity is indicated by their full date book. Our hearts were thrilled one Tuesday mcrninc chapel period when • our men's quartet composed of David and Harwood Hess, Mr. Bal- bach and Mr. Wood made their first appearance. They have since made several appearances, including a conference in Iowa where they represented the school. The Sunrise Trio composed of David Smith, Gerrif Schut and Ruth Johnson, who play the mandolin, Spanish guitar and Hawaiian guitar, respectively, have made many appearances this past year. Their testimony, like that of the ethers, is: We have been happy to be in the Lord s service, and seek only to be used of Him in bring- ing others into a closer relationship with the Saviour. — BONNIE GALVIN BASKETBALL TEAM rror.t Row, Left io Right: Harold Collins; Forest Anderson; Gerrit Cnlon, Manager; Mr, Quincer, ScoreLeeper; Mr. Wood.

A record of six v ns and four losses as compared to last year's record of ten losses. Last year we won the class C trophy; what this year's tournament will bring forth, only time will lell. The scoring record, however, tells but little of what every team member and loyal fan experienced. Our ambition was to go out on the court as a true ambassador of Christ. Athletic competition brings out character as tew other activities will, and I believe every player achieved this goal. How inadequate are word's to express the thrills, [cys, end rich experiences of every participant! The fellows expressed a desire at the beginning of the sea- son to show true sportsmanship, even if it cost them the game. This did not detract from the excitement of the close games, the ball rimming the basket, bringing downcast looks when it ta led to sink, and shouts of ]oy when it dropped in. There were thrills experienced only by the manager when the players ap- proached him and pleaded that their replacements be allowed to play a large part of the game. At other times when substitutes were scarce, men gladly stayed in for a whole game, even when too ill to know what was going on, or so lame that they could hardly move. For this sportsmanlike attitude and the experiences shared, we praise God. The loyalty of the fans, both of the faculty and the student body, is gratefully appreciated. We covet this same enjoyment for those who participate next year, D.V. — GERR.IT CETON, Manager 42 • STUDENT PASTORS And He gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some: evangelists; and some, pas- tors and teachers. (Ephesians 4:1 f.) The Church, the habitation of God through the Spirit, is God's ordained medium for the proclamation of the message of the Gospel. The Word cf God tells of no other organization which He has promised to use for the accomplishing of His purposes here on earth. He has not only determined that the Church shall do this work, but our risen, living Lord has given gifts to the church; gifts who are men; some, apostles; some, prophets; some, evangelists; some, pastors and teachers. In the mind of Sod this provision was sufficient and adequate for the work of making disciples of all nations. Strange, is it not, to see the many substitutions that men are offering today for God's plan? And is it not further strange that men still do not see that unless God's work is done in God's way it is not for God's glory? The Church has not failed, but men have failed in that they have not observed the plan and purpose of Him who is the Head of the Church, even Jesus Christ, the Lord. Thank God for a school which recognizes the place of the local Church 'n God's program for this age! Thank Sod for men who are the gifts of our ascended Lord to His Church! Thank God for men in whom the gift of preaching the Word is being stirred up! Such is the Grand Rapids Baptist Theo- logical Seminary and Bible Institute, its faculty, student pastors, and students. Each week-end finds a good number of the students of the Seminary and Bible Institute cut filling the responsible position of Pastor in the Baptist Churches of the Grand Rapids area. Some of the men are carrying on full-time pastorates; some are spending just a part of their time on the field; others simply give forth in the ministry of the Word on Sundays. Thus the Word of Sod goes forth fervently and accurately through these gifts ot Christ to the Church for the perfecting of the saints, unto the work of ministering, unto the building up of the body of Christ: till we all attain unto the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a full grown man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ. • 43 • W. HERBERT SCOTT Mission Work Every Saturday night a group of eight to ten students have charge of the service at the Wonroe Avenue branch of the Wei Trotter Rescue Mission. These who arrive early often stay outside to pass out tracts and invite the passers-by to the meeting. The students pre- sent the entire program — someone leads the song service, others bring special music, every one gives a br'et testimony, and the group leader brings an evangelistic message. A goodly number of down arid-outers attend these services, and an occasional one comes to know Jesus Christ as his personal Saviour. Although the work is difficult, this is a coveted assignment, and those who are asked to take pad count it a real privilege to serve their Lord in that capacity. County Poor Farm Yes we admit that most B bie School students are poor, but that is not the reason why eight to ten students are at the County Poor Farm every tourth Sunday at 2:30 p.m. A chapel service is held, and students take part by singing, testifying, praying, and reading Sod’s Word to those who are able to attend. As the speaker begins at 3:00 the students leave for the wards where they again sing and testify, and then go from bed to bed telling the glorious story of salva+ion. It has been our joy to see some of these people fake the Lord Jesus as their Saviour. It seems as if we had just begun when it 4:00 and we must leave, but we do thank God for the privilege of witnessing to those who are but a step from eternity. 44 — ANDY BROWN Soldiers' Home It is a delightful privilege to go to the h ichigan State Soldiers' Home each Sunday after- noon. Usually there are from four to six students that take part in this assignment. Every other week we have a service with the elderly ladies who live on the second floor of the mein building. There is one lady over ninety years of age who faithfully attends these meetings, and her testimony is a blessing to us. In addition to these services we also do persona! visitation in the rooms. We leave tracts, and endeavor to deal personally with each 'ndividual whenever possible. This opportunity to witness for our Lord has brought great oy to our hearts, and our prayer is that the Lord will bless the lives, of those to whom we minister His glorious truth. —FRANK COLLINS City General Hospital The time is 2:30 Sunday afternoon as several students leave their dormitories or hemes and head for the Ci+y General Hospital where they will present the Gospel in song, testimony and tract. Since the Hospital is sma I and the pa- tients are unable to gather in a central meeting place, a song service is held in the hallway so that all can hear. There is no piano, so the only accompaniment the musicians have is a pitch- pipe— that is, if someone has one and dion'f forget to bring H. After the singing the group divides and goes to the different rooms to eave tracts and deal personally with the ndividual patients. A few have been saved, for which we thank God, and we are thereby encouraged in our endeavors. • 45 • Life af Van Osdel Hal! Come witVi me tor a tour through the girls dormitory. We walk up the well worn path lined with shrubbery, stand on the shaded porch, and observe the door bell upon which the prospective theologians lean so heavily every morning to announce their arrive! for break- test. The door of welcome is opened, and we enter the vestibule amid the clutter of boots which belong to students who have wended their way from all walks of life to prepare for the Lord's work. Jn the living room to our left the students gather to discuss problems, hold prayer meet- ngs, and enjoy the monthly fellowship gatherings. The adjoining room is lined v ilh rows of tables around which the students gather to partake of the material blessings which the Lord has so bountifully bestowed, Naturally associated with eating is dish-washing, so next I ll show you the kitchen. Here rubber-aproned dish washers debate over that extra dessert, and theological problems. The basement is directly below us. Here the laundry tubs recall fond memories of long hours spent over a scrub-board with a hanky that just won't look the way it did when Mother washed it. Upstairs vve find the attractive rooms where double-decked bunks, study tables, dressers and improvised closets are arranged to suit the girls' tastes. Here decisions, joys, sorrows, pillow-fights, and cookies from Mom are shared by the students. What about those who live here? There is Mrs. VanDame, our house-mother, and a group of normal, Christian girls who .eat, sleep, study and fellowship with one-another in the Lord. He is the Captain of our band as we prepare to go forth to proclaim to a lost and dying world the glorious way of salvation. IRENE PITCHFORO MRS. VAN DAME, Hcusarnothor Spurgeon Hall We are the men of Spurgeon Hall. There are “ten of us residing together in Christian unity. Though we study and sleep here, we eat our meals at the girls' dormitory which is approx- imately cne mile away. We qu’te often walk this distance severa’ times a day, which assures us of our daily exercise, and a pretty husky appetite. Soon after the beginning of the school year when we had become fairly well acquainted we elected (he officers for ‘he dormitory. Frank Collins was chosen as president, and Keith Mclver as vice-president. We bad a party at John Ball ark during the first term, inviting those of the girls' dormi- tory as guests. We played softball in the afternoon, ate a picnic supper, and had enter- tainment and a devotional pe-iod in the evening. We have had many good times at meal time, and even after meals doing dishes, though few would probably admit the latter. Our day starts at 5:30 a.m. Some get up earlier, and some much later. We have study periods in the afternoon and eve- ning, and a prayer meeting at 9:45 p m., after which there is usually a period of horse-pay until 10:45 when we retire to our rooms for private devotions. Our house-mother is Mrs. Cook. She keeps us quiet most os the time, sees that v;e complete our dorm duties, and occa- sionally makes fudge for us. JO CRAWrORD MRS COOK, Housemother Facts from the Fields Of ihe total of 2974 world languages, the whole Bible has been translated into 184, the whole New Testament into an. additional 235, and the Bide in whole or in part into a total of 1168 languages. Although these translations exist for probably nine-tenths of the people of the world, this does not mean that nine-tenths actually possess those portions of the Scripture. It is estimated that less than one-fifth have them In their possession. There are hundreds of tribes and nations and millions of souls yet without a word of the Scriptures in their own tongues, and more than half of the world has yet to hear the Gospel for the first time. A missionary in China has said, A great WITHOUT is written on heathenism. Men and women are WITHOUT a 3ible — WITHOUT a Sunday — WITHOUT prayer — WITHOU songs of praise. They have rulers WITHOUT justice — WITHOUT righteousness. They have homes WITHOU I peace, marriage WITHOUT sanctity. Their young men and women are WITHOUT ideals, the li'tle children WIIHOUT purity, the mothers WITHOUT wisdom or self-control. There is poverty WITHOUT relief — sickness WITHOUT skill or care — sorrow WITHOUT sympathy — sin WITHOUT a remedy — death WITHOUT hope. All this is wrapped up in the words, WITHOUT Christ. —Pentecostal Evangel. • «8 Volunteers Tilere are two kinds of missionary volunteers, acr've and passive. The passive volun- teer says, Lord, here am I. Next year he says it again, and five years later he is saying once more, ’’Lord, I am still here. The active volunteer says, Lord, Here am I, send me.’ He puts a go into his volunteering and sets his face as a flint to the land of God’s calling. The Secret Place YER 0 9� There is a place where thou canst touch the eyes Of blinded men to instant perfect sight; There Is a place where thou canst say Arise1. To dying captives, bound in chains of night. There is a piece where thou canst reach the store Of hoarded gold, and free it for the Lord; Thera is a place here, or on a disteni shore, Where thou canst send the worker and the Word. There is a place where Heaven's resistless power Responsive moves to thine insistent plea; There is e place, a silent holy hour, Where God Himself descends and works for thes. Where is that secret place? — dost Ihou ask where? Oh. soul! II is the secret place of prayer. — AUTHOR UNKNOWN . 49 . 50 KUMI-ORI STAFF Left to Right: Lois Boer, Secretary; Woody McCaleb, Business Manager: David Hess EdHor-in-Chief: Dr. Wm.
