We want you to catch a glimpse of our life of study, of relaxation, of fellowship, of prayer, and most particularly, of emphasis on the command of our Lord to go into all the world and preach the gospel. For Cod so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever.—John 3:16 IN MEMORIAM BONNIE JEAN GALVIN First Baptist Church Rochester, Michigan .........who graduated from our Bible Institute course last year, will long remain in our memory as one who was obedient to the Lord's missionary call. Though we cannot understand why He took her even before further training was finished, we know that her Lord docs all things perfectly. IN TRIBUTE To those who serve as missionaries Isaiah received a challenge from God and unto harvest was laid upon their heart, responded with, “Here am I; send me.” These We are proud that there are so many of them fellow students who passed this way before us already. To each of them we say, “May the Lord likewise answered the call when a “field white Jesus Christ bless you as you serve Him.

Quincer has served on the faculty of our school since the beginning of the evening school in 1941 and of the day school in 1944. He has been responsible for the shaping of many of the courses and the writing of much of the notes, particularly in the New Testament and Church History departments. Who will forget his enthusiasm over Greek accents or first-class conditional sentences? over ancient manuscripts found in wastebaskets? over basketball scores? Or, who will forget his aversion to colloquiol expressions, tardiness, and practical jokes? Beloved by faculty and students alike, his spirit- ual and intellectual influence has been felt by all. To him we affectionately dedicate this 1950 issue of KUMl-ORl. 5 Come ye after Me, and I wIII make ‘you to become fishers of men.—Mark 1:17 A LIFE OF PRAYER We as students of the Grand Rapids Baptist Theological Seminary and Bible Institute recognize that prayer is one of the most important phases of the Christian life. There are verses from the word of God, slogans, catchy phrases, hymns, and poems expressing the need for and value of prayer. But a life of prayer bears greater testimony than any of these. Actual experience in praying and then rejoicing in answered requests is more effective than any amount of classroom theory or chapel exhorta- tion. So we praise God that our school life this year has been conducive to prayer growth. We have learned to start the day alone with our Lord. Some of us fall immediately to our knees beside our bed; some of us spend time in our rooms reading His Word and speaking with Him; some sneak off to the attic at 5.30 a. m. to be alone with the Lord; all of us have found a “secret closet where we receive strength for the day. Then at six o'clock, before going to breakfast, we gather for dormitory devotions. Our “family may be larger than most, but we have had pre- cious times bearing one another's burdens and praying for one another's needs. Three meals a day are begun and ended with prayer. And at school four classes a day are opened and closed with prayer. Does it ever be- come routine? No, for the child of God it becomes more precious day after day. Our school family” unites for prayer regularly each Monday during chapel period to spend the half hour remembering special requests before the Lord. Tuesday at 7:30 a. m. a half hour Is set aside for men’s groups and women’s groups to pray for the school. Thursday morning the Mission Prayer Bands meet. Wednesday and Friday mornings the Genera! Mission Prayer Group assembles to pray for more missionaries, especially men, and for such other requests as might be appropriale for general missions. During free hours smaller groups get together more informally, yet just as purposefully. Back home again we pray before beginning to study— and often during our studies. We pray before going on practical work assignments; we pray be- fore participating in sports; we pray before social activities. Then once more at the end of the day we kneel with praise and thanksgiving abounding in our prayers. A fife of much prayer? Yes, and because of Him to whom we pray, a life of much power. W© wilt give ourselves continually to prayer, and to the ministry of the Word.—Acts 6:4 6 l-R: Harold H. Hess, Wm. Bolthouse, G. H. Dchlberg, George F. Hall. David Olis Fuller, Gerard Knol, Frank H. Gordon, John Cederlund. Not Pictured: Richard F. Barrom, Henry 8erends, George Den Hortog, Howard A. Keithley. BOARD OF DIRECTORS it is the second Monday evening of fhe month. Please join me in an ethical peep” through the keyhole of classroom 312. We spot eleven men on their knees before God in earnest prayer. Their varied requests pour forth from hearts burdened with the realization of per- sonal responsibility to God for the direction of the school. We hear them pray'ng for ailing council member William Bolthouse, for strength for the students, for guidance for the faculty and admin- istration, for a disciplinary problem in the life of a student, and for a revival in our churches. Sin- cere gratitude for the remarkable growth and evident blessing of God upon this school is ex- pressed again and again. After all have led in prayer, and while taking their seats, the men spontaneously burst into Alas, and Did My Savior Bleed. Though none of the men could qualify for membership in Joe Balboch's school choir, yet what their voices lack in quality they make up in quantity, and fhe room seems to fairly ring. Chairman David Olis Fuller calls the meeting to order and secretary Frank Gordon calls the roll, then follows with the official minutes of the last meeting. After the acceptance of that record, treasurer John Cederlund is asked for his report. He passes out neat, detailed carbon copies of all the receipts and expenditures for the preceding month, and in familiar language says, We have much to praise God for, brethren!” Questions are asked; then we hear florist George Hartog move the acceptance of the report with praise to God. Now new business has begun and for twenty minutes ideas and suggestions ore exchanged con- cerning the question under discussion. No one dare accuse the council of consisting of rubber stampers. Each man feels the weight of his own accountability to God for fhe decision that will glorify Him. Despite honest differences there is a remarkable unanimity of attitudes. A long distance telephone call requires fhe temporary absence of Dr. Fuller, and vice-chair- man Harold H. Hess, Williamston’s valuable con- tribution to this executive council, takes over the chair. Some wag requests the secretary to read back a motion never made. Now our attention is called to fhe blackboard where the new five year course is outlined. Questions are raised and answered. Plans for a four year course leading to an A.B. in Bible are also discussed. The applications for admittance next September as recommended by the faculty screening commit- tee are passed around individually for official ap- proval. Each is voted on separately. The watches on our wrists show eleven o’clock is very neor. The highways outside are a sheet of treacherous ice. Some of the men have many miles to travel before reaching home. However, before d'smissing in prayer the men are informed by President Knol that new pafalogues must be print- ed this month to replace'the exhausted supply. If one out of three who receive catalogues apply for admission, the school will be swamped. Pray,” he pleads, that God will do the screening for us.” Good night. Not by might, nor by pow«r, bat by My Spirit, soith the Lord of Aosfj.—-Zechar ah 4:6 8 PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE The interest in home and foreign missions of the Grand Rapids Baptist Theological Seminary and Bible Institute dates back to the day of its incep- tion on January 7, 1941, as an evening school. One of the important courses offered was that of missions. This proved so effective that, although the courses given in the evening school were in- tended primarily for the purpose of training men and women for more efficient service in their local churches, several of the graduates were called into full time service as pastors and home and foreign missionaries. In the fall of 1944, when the imperative need for properly trained Baptist ministers and mission- aries was felt among us, the day school was open- ed. From the beginning great stress was placed on the responsibility of the church to evangelize the world. There was close cooperation between the school ond our own mission agencies of the General Association of Regular Baptist Churches. Missionaries home on furlough have spoken at chapel services, addressed the missions classes, ■) and encouraged the students in their various prayer bands. A profitable series of lectures was given by Rev. Victor Barnett, missionary to China, during 1945. The resull has been the creation of an ever- increasing missionary school spirit. There are now sixteen graduates serving on home and foreign mission fields. Of the first day school graduating class, one-haff are on the foreign field. Several of the class of 1950 are planning for such service. At the present time there are thirty-three men and twenty-two women who have felt the definite call to missionary service. For all this we praise God. The instruction given has been of such a nature that the prospective missionaries hold strong Bap- tist convictions and are applying to Mid-Missions and the Association of Baptists for World Evangel- ism to send them out to teach and practice on the foreign field the divine commission as given in the New Testament and as held by all Bible-believing Baptists. The scope of training is continually being ex- panded in order to give the prospective missionary thorough equipment for his particular field of ser- vice. Among the new courses offered for the com- ing year is one of especial interest for both men and women. This course is provided through the American Red Cross and covers first aid, home nursing, and care of the sick. We trust that the glow of missionary zeal which is felt among us may burst into flame in order that the darkness at home ond abroad may be dispell- ed by the glorious light of the gospel of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

DEGREES AWARDED In the school year of 1948-49, the State of Michigan granted to our school the privilege of granting Ihe degree of Bachelor of Divinity to graduates of our Seminary who had fulfilled the necessary requirements. Those requirements are, in addition to the completion of the prescribed course of Seminary study, that the student hold the degree of Bachelor of Arts, or its equivalent, from some college of recognized standing, that he have maintained at least a B minus average in all of his seminary work, and that he have satisfactorily passed a comprehensive examination covering the entire three-year course. We counted if a marked blessing of God upon our school and a real milestone in our gradual and continuous growth when the privilege of granting this degree was extended 1o us a year ago, and we now count it an equally fine step ahead that we have this year our first candidates for the receiving of the degree. We are truly grateful for this new evidence of God’s approval upon us. Also we would congratulate these who are the first to be thus honored and wish for them that God's hand of blessing may continue to rest upon them as they go forth in service for Him. LEON J. WOOD, Dean of Men SEMINARY GRADUATES DAVID N. HESS, A.B. O the depth of Ihe riches both of the wisdom and First Baptist Church, Williamston, Mich. knowledge of God! how unsearchable are His judgments, and His ways past finding out! (Romans 11:33) How wonderful that the cill-wise and all-knowing God leads us in ways we cannot understand, in paths we cannot foresee. How gracious of our Lord that He does not limit Himself to our poor ambitions and hopes, instead, He leads us in paths we cannot search out and in ways we are not able to go in our own wisdom. If is because of this truth that I had the privilege of attending this school. I certainly could neither foresee the preparation in the things of God, nor the growth in spirit- ual life that has been gained under the instruction here. The omniscient God's ways are past our tracing out. I do not know why He should save me, nor why He should give me the privilege of ministering His glorious Word, nor why He should lead me in the paths of training that He did, but this ( do know, that His ways, though in- scrutable, are perfect. “And Jesus came and spake unto them saying, All power is given unto Me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world.' ” “Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.” “Bless the Lord, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless His holy name.’’ Ye have not chosen Me, hot I have chosen you that ye should go and bring tor Hi fruit.—John 15:16 Bless the Lord, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless His holy name.” “Thus it is written, and thus it be- hoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day: and that repentance ana remission of sins should be preached in His name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. And yc are witnesses of these things. H. HARWOOD HESS, A.B. First Baptist Church, Wiiliamsfon, Mich. HILBERT ZWYGHUIZEN. B.S. Berlin Baptist Church, Marne, Mich. Seventeen years ago, ! made up my mind that I would never be a preacher, because I felt sure that this was the work a few people thought I ought to do. To spite them, more than anything else, I determined to go to school to become a professional man so I could enjoy the luxuries of life and make a name for myself. Things were proceeding according to plan until the war. I was among the first to be called into the service. Bang) there went all my big plans,- evaporated—like the dew of early morning. Once in the Army with little to look forward to and plenty of time, at first, to read my Bible and pray, well, . . . . Preparing for the Lord’s service and Icboring for Him have been the most blessed years. I praise Him for providing every need, raising up Baptist Theological Sem- inary, and giving us godly instructors to direct our activi- ties. What a joy it will be throughout all eternity to wor- ship Him who stopped me in my tracks one day and started my feet in the right direction. How I do praise the Lord for all He has done for me! Truly, He is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think. As I look back over the past four years, I marvel at the way He has gone before every step of the way and made it possible for me to study the rich treasures of His Word in this blessed school. I cannot thonk God enough for this seminary. It seems as though if was established just for me! I am thankful for the warm Christian fellowship I have enjoyed here. I praise the Lord for the consecrated, spiritual instructors who have taught me. I want to praise God also for the members of the Alaska Baptist Church for their cooperation and spirit of good will in permitting their pastor to give so much of his time to go to school. It is my prayer that these years at school will enable me to do more effective work for my Lord. Looking unto esus the author and finisher of our faith ... lei us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us.

Sanctify the Lord God in your hearts; and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear. II Peter 3:15) One is soon convinced that the fulfilment of this divine injunction in the life of each student is the aim of every board ond faculty member of our beloved seminary. Words fail me to adequately express my gratitude to God for what the school in general and each faculty member in particular has meant to me along this line. I desire an interest in their prayers that I may commit the same, to faithful men; such as shall be competent to teach others also. I take this opportunity to express my gratitude to all those who have made it possible .for me to attend Baptist Theological Seminary. First, I am Very grateful to the Alto Baptist Church for the gracious way in which they have granled me so much time for my studies. Then, I am thank- ful for the many churches and individuals who finance the school. Finally, I appreciate the kind consideration of each instructor and the entire student body. 17 So, as much as in mo is, I am ready to preach the gospel to you. Romans 7:15 L-R. Tops A. Brown, H.

Purposeful Living the Goal of the SEMINARY MIDDLERS “Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king’s meat, nor with the wine which lie drank: there- fore he requested of the prince of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself.” (Daniel T:8) The hymn writer sends forth a challenge to each one of us as God’s children in the words: “Dare to be a Daniel; dare to stand alone; dare to have a purpose firm, dare to make it known.” Purposeful living! This phrase surely character- ized the life of the young man, Daniel. Taken captive into a strange country, placed in the royal court of a pagan king, and away from friends and loved ones (save those who were taken with him), Daniel had every opportunity to compromise his position for convenience sake. But not Daniel, for he was completely given over to the Lord, and purposed to remain true to Him, regardless of the cost! When confronted with a decree of the king that required Daniel to worship only Darius, he remain- ed true to his purpose, even though if meant being cast into a dan of lions! Yes, Daniel had a pur- pose—to live a godly life, and nothing could divert him from this purpose. Today, as in Daniel's day, God desires purpose- ful living in His children. He is looking for men who will stand true and faithful, regardless of the circumstances in which they find themselves. God wants his children to be “Daniels” in purposeful living! It is the desire of the class of '51 to go forth for God with the purpose of Daniell After spend- ing four years together, during which we have been knit together in Christian love and purpose, we have come to realize that the supreme task confronting us as potential ministers and mission- aries is to glorify God by purposeful living! May God grant us the grace to go forth for Him, holding high the banner of the Cross, and remain- ing faithful in every circumstance of life! May our lives be characterized by purposeful living!

A Variety in Oneness Among SEMINARY JUNIORS Here we are in seminary already! with a Chi- cago street kid, a Canadian missionary, a German Ein-Stein, a Kalamazoo school boy, a big-footed Hollander, a Bob Jones Evangel, an Indiana plow boy, a Fuller brush salesman, a European mission- ary candidate, a Pennsylvania practical joker, a D. L. Moody, and a John Calvin. We even have the English professor in our class with us as a student. Who would think that the Lord would call to- gether such an assortment as this? However, we have had a blessed fellowship in school, and we praise God for His goodness to us and the bond that can bring men from so many different walks of life together in the Lord and give them one purpose in life. Our class has been to us not only a source of inspiration and encouragement but also a source of real fellowship and blessing. We thank God that every member has a deep spiritual outlook on his life, a real God-planned purpose for being in school; and yet we still retain the expressive sense of humor of young men. It is certain that most of us doubted, when we came, our own ability to make it this far, and it is well that we did, because we have found that if is not our ability that has brought us this far, but the Lord Himself. Three of our class are serving as student pastors in local Baptist churches. All the men are active in some local Baptist church. We praise God for that which He is doing with this group of men, and our prayer is that everyone of us may be led to the exact place of the Lord’s appointment when we finish our course here. As a class we say, “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Chrisf, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Chrisf. (Ephesians 1:3’} 1 have appeared unto ihee for this purpose, to make t iee a minister and a witness.—Acts 26:16 19 L‘R. Top: W, Crow, J. Balbach, D. McNeil, C. Eno, D. Sterkenburg, O. Wilhite, J.

Much Fellowship in SECOND YEAR PRE-SEMINARY September 6, 19-49, was a happy day tor the second year pre-seminary class with the reuniting ot friendships held so dear the year before. Our minds went skipping back over our first year to- gether, the picnic at Johnson Park, the school party at Lake Drive Baptist Church, and the un- forgetable sleigh-ride. What blessed times of fel- lowship we had! Then we began to anticipate the good times ahead for us in the new year. Soon after this we were informed fhaf class officers must be chosen. After much prayer the Lord led us to elect: president, Orlan Wilhite; vice- president, Dick Sterkenburg; secretary-treasurer, Joe Crawford. The new president took over and we began the discussion of a class project. We decided to offer the services of our class to Baptist preachers to help in canvassing, visitation, or whatever would be needed. Mr. Ferris Hough at Algoma gave us our first chance, that of helping with his young people on Saturday nights. At these meetings we were to furnish special music, song-leader, those who would give their lestimonies, and a speaker for the devotional period. We thank the Lord for giving us men who can fill each one of these needs. The class has a definite inieresf in missions. The Lord willing, at least seven of the twelve members of our class are definitely planning to go to some foreign mission field upon completion of their work in seminary. The other members of the class are waiting on the Lord to show them their field of service. The men of our class have set aside one night a month to get together at the homes of the mem- bers and discuss various problems (theological and personal), give personal testimony as to the way we were brought to Christ, and relate exper- iences in Christian living. We have all felt the bond of Christian love which is possible only through our love for Christ. The words of the hymn, Amazing Grace,” seem to express our thoughts. ‘‘Thro’ many dangers, toils and snares, we haye already come,- 'Tis grace hath bro’t us safe thus far, and grace will lead us home.” And He commanded u$ to preach unto the people, and to testify.—Acts 10:42 20 raw L-R.

First Lessons Learned by FIRST YEAR PRE-SEMINARY With the dust of Labor Day travel settling around us, we had our first glimpse of a Bible school in action. And before we could take a deep breath we were contributing to that action. We came from many places and many ways of life, but we came with one goal in view, that of pre- paring ourselves for the Lord’s labor in whatever field He might direct u$. We knew that this would be a difficult job, so difficult, in fact, that at times we almost had our doubts as to what we could be taught. It did not take us long to find out how it would be done. We wish to thank those who teach and govern us, not only for the patience with which they have attempted to impart their knowledge to us, but also for their examples of Christian love. They let us know from the very start what would be expected from us, and have been busy showing us ever since how they will help us to produce that which they expect. As a class, we have not undertaken any regular activity, but the feeling of a need for fellowship to bind us closer in brotherly love and to strength- en us more in our Lord Jesus resulted in the form- ing of different prayer groups. One that unites the married and single members meets twice a week in free periods. Two other groups composed of married members and their families meet once a week. Both have been a great blessing to us and a boon to our scholastic studies and attitude. We came to school because we believed that Jesus Christ had called us to be fishers of men, even as He called Peter and his brother Andrew. The thing most impressed upon us this year was that we must dig for bait before we go fishing. Perhaps we did not know how hard we would have to dig, but we find now that the abundance of bait and hopes for the future more than com- pensate for hard ground. Our prayer is that we may study and conduct ourselves while we are here, not just in a way that will express our gratitude to those responsible for the school, our appreciation to those who teach us, our respect for those who have gone before us, but a way that wifi above all glorify the One who saved and sent us. We know how lo do this, for Philippians 4:13 tells rus, “I can do all things through Christ which strengthened me.” 21 And he that taketh not his cross, and fo oweth after Me, is not worthy of Me.—Matthew 10:38 Is Jones finished or lolc?

This is my Savior's standard, and I know His grace is sufficient for such as I.

Since most of us herd been out of high school for several years, we were out of the habit of studying. Then too, a Bible Institute was entirely different. First of all we were given a list of the books to be used. Then came the list of assignments for the term, even to the dates of the mid-term and final exams, which, by the way, were what we dreaded most. Then we plunged into studying. After working for eight hours, it was relaxing and also a joy and blessing to start each class with a favorite hymn or chorus and prayer. We listened as the men of God opened up the Scrip- tures and subjects related to them. And you know, it certainly was surprising the things we thought we knew which we did not realty know. Chapel time too was a blessing each evening. Here we became better acquainted with our in- structors and fellow students as different ones led in a devotional time of singing, Bible reading and study, and testimonies. How we thank the Lord for the opportunity and privilege of attending evening school. It is the desire of each one of us that as we are preparing ourselves for His service, that the Lord will use us for His glory in our home churches and in our everyday life. And then as we finish school we want to be in the center of His will at home or on the field. SECOND YEAR Weff, here we are almost at the cfose of another school year with one year left before graduation. How time flies! We are certainly thankful to God for the many blessings we have received during the past year. Again this year our school life has been rather interesting. For instance, we could mention the evening Mr. Reynhout called the roll and said, Hermen Neutics.” Paul King, who was sitting far back in the corner, took a deep breath of fresh air from the half open window and answered, ‘Here!” We do appreciate having in our midst a com- petent secretary like Jean Van Laan to get writer’s cramps taking notes in shorthand and type them out for some of the more fortunate of us. ft seems to us that Mr. Matthews should try to get revenge on his past professors instead of us poor students. We wonder, sometimes, if Mr. Quincer ever gets tired of making up (arge quanti- ties of examination questions. We as a class thank God for our school, for the splendid faculty, and for the student body. The study the Word of God has enriched our lives, has drawn us closer to the lord, and has challeng- ed us to do greater things through Christ. Our prayer is witlV'the apostle Paul, “Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye sfedfast, unmoverb e, always abounding in the work of the Lord, for- asmuch as ye know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.” (I Corinthians 15.-58) Behold the Lamb of God, w hith tukefh aw ay the sin of the world.—John 1:29 32 L-R.

A Year of Growth for FIRST YEAR BIBLE INSTITUTE “Call unto me, and I will answer Ihee, and show thee great and mighty things, which thou knowesf not. (Jeremiah 33:3) As this beginning year of our training comes to a close, the first-year institute students can really claim this verse. How often we felt helpless, use- less, insecure, and worth absolutely nothing. Then whal toy to cal) upon the Lord tor strength and wisdom, and to rest in His care and trust Him completely. Have others been as frightened as we were? Yes, probably so. Many have begun school as shaky freshmen and now look back on those good old school days with wistful thoughts. It did not take us long to become friends, even though we were from several different states, and soon we were relating past events and experiences. It was thrilling to hear how God had worked in the past and the way in which each of us was led to school. The entire student body and faculty gave us a hearty welcome a few weeks after the beginning of the year. This warm friendliness was shown by having a reception for us in the basement of the Lake Drive Baptist Church. We, as bashful stu- dents, soon realized that these upper classmen and great theologians were quite human, and we had a wonderful fellowship together. After the devotional singing and talk, we had a delightful lunch and departed with light hearts—only to re- member the studies for the coining days. Woe unto us, but yet what joy to dig deep into God’s Word and discover truths which had never been brought to our attention before. Since the first year pre-seminary students have nearly the same subjects as the first year institute students, we elected officers from the combined group. They were as follows: Ronald Bullis, pres- ident; Charlotte Tuttie, vice-president; Marion Boyer, secretary-treasurer; Dr. Pardee, faculty ad- visor. Later it was necessary to fill a vacancy, so the students met and elected Gene Sickler. Certainly the life of any student would not be complete without having a good time and fellow- ship together outside of school. As Bible School students, it was decided that it would probably be best to have a hardiime party, making it very easy for all to come. After a few gomes and sing- ing, one of the fellow students gave a short mes- sage and we each were blessed by having fellow- ship with one another and with the Lord. Later in the school year, there were other parties given, a backward party, and a party given in honor of the upper classmen. They were a means of relaxation from studies and work and always ended with spiritual blessing. Yes, the time has gone. Jt has gone very swiftly. We are looking forward to another year though, a year of fellowship, enjoyment, and fun. In it we expect to find a deeper knowledge of our Lord and Saviour. 33 Separate Me [these] . , . for ffre work hereunto I have called thcm.- -Acts 13:7 A free hour Time for doss The end o tho day Duck, Jiml Meons homework There's your mistake Connie Singing or reading?

Before the meeting, some give tracts to those passing by outside the mission, while others have a prayer meeting inside the mission. The meetings begin at 7:30 sharp, with one of the students leading the song service. The Chris- tians who are present love the time of testimony and special music. A student-preacher always brings forth the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ to the congregation, which consists mostly of poor, wicked, and drunke.n men, who “sit through” the service that they might get a meal afterwards. We rejoice that our great God has seen fit to save some of these seemingly hopeless creatures. To us who love the Lord, this hour is one of joy and does not even seem like an assignment. CITY GENERAL HOSPITAL Each Sunday afternoon a group of students visit the City General Hospital from 2:30 until 3:30. There is no place for a formal service, so the students who are assigned there gather in the hallway to sing a few of the good old gospel hymns and to have prayer. After this, the men and women go respectively to the men's and women's wards to do bed-side personal work. A few of the patients are Chris- tians, so we have joy in fellowship around the Word of God with them. Our main objective is Vo tell the glorious news of the gospel to sin-sick souls. We have much opposition in this work from Romanism, but we are privileged occasionally to see someone confess Christ as Savior and lord. POOR FARM One Sunday afternoon each month, six or eight students are assigned to the Kent County Poor Farm. Here also, we have a chapel service for those who are able to attend. The students usually give their testimonies and assist with the music. When the message begins, the students go into the wards to do personal visitation among the sick and afflicted. Many are mentally deficient, many are deaf, some are blind. We realize that our precious lord loves them and wants them to know the plan of salvation too, so we do the best we can to make them understand, depending, of course, upon the Spirit of God to work in their hearts. These poor folk, with little of this world’s goods, and few, if any relatives to love them, truly burden our hearts. This assignment causes us to rejoice in God’s goodness to us and rely more than ever upon His promises. That through His name whosoever bo iovoth In SOLDIER’S HOME Another Sunday afternoon assignment is to give out the Word of God at the Michigan State Soldiers’ Home. There are usually six or eight stu- dents who go and give their testimonies, sing, and pass out tracts, as well as personal visitation. Every other Sunday, we have a chapel service in one of the buildings. We receive much blessing and encouragement too, as some of the dear old saints of God give their testimonies. Many oppor- tunities are given to deal with the lost, and once In a while Christ saves some of these dear ones. SPANISH SERVICES A group of students have felt a burden for the Spanish speaking people. By God's grace we are now proclaiming His precious Word to those in Grand Rapids who have no Spanish church or mission to attend. After much prayer, interested studenls have arranged complete services in the Spanish lan- guage. The message is delivered by a minister or one of our pre-seminary students and is trans- lated from English into Spanish by two Spanish- speaking girls in our group, Connie and Margaret Alba. OTHERS Every Thursday morning our school assigns someone to sing for a local mission radio broad- cast. A few of the students are assigned to public schools to speak and to give special music in Bible dubs and Christian students’ fellowships. Occas- ionally, a student is assigned to speak to a club or a special meeting when someone calls the school requesting a student-speaker. Many students take opportunities to do practi- cal work for the lord which is not assigned by the school. Some teach Sunday School classes in var- ious churches and missions. Others help to conduct street meetings and young peoples’ meetings. Three or four of our students regularly do personal work and help in Ihe services in the Kent County Jail. When a personal invitation is made, the stu- dents speak in churches, missions, young peoples’ meetings, and in schools. A few of the girls have Bible clubs for boys and girls. Even more )oy and blessing is derived from our practical work that is not compulsory. The Lord gives His children many opportunities to work for Him, and also supplies the ability to perform the task. Many prayer requests result from burdens received in doing practical work and we have been blessed by seeing many of them answered. He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing pre- cious seed, shall doubtless come again with re- joicing, bringing his sheaves with him.” (Psalm 126:6) ------------------------------------------ i shall receive remission of sln .—Aet 10:43 39 MUSIC CHOIR Summarizing briefly the activities of the choir during the school year, we say with the Psalmist, ‘‘Praise ye the Lord: for it is good to sing praises unto our God, for it is pleasant; ond praise is comely.” (Psalm 147:1) Each member of the choir has experienced blessing from the Lord as we have traveled from church to church. The scope of ministry in song has increased as evidenced by the few Sundays the choir remained home from November, 1949, to May, 1950. Approximately nineteen churches were contacted by the choir ministry and a challenge was presented to young people in the Word, testi- mony, and song (special music). Choir activities were concluded with a spring concert in May. A word of appreciation is due our most capable choir director, Professor Joseph Batbach. Then too, it is in order to thank our faithful choir accompan- ist, Carolyn Cox, our choir president, Paul Versluis, and the choir librarian, Elsa Knudsen, who have ably performed their duties. As always, of course, we regret having to lose several members by graduation. To all graduates we say, may the Lord's rich blessing be upon your lives, and remember to sing always songs of praises to Him. The following were visited this school year: Baptist churches in Williamston, Kalamazoo, Flint, Algomc, Allegan, Cedar Springs, ludington, Reed City, Laingsburg, Alaska, Lyons, Sparta, Petoskey, Napoleon, Hoslett, and Bay City. Choir members were: Alvetta Acker, Connie Alba, Margaret Alba, Enid Alber, Maxine Ander- son, Marion Boyer, Marjorie Clum, Florence Cetas, Carolyn Cox, Ethel Dyksterhouse, Hellen Gearhart, Winona Gerber, Edith Girnus, Rose Haley, Elaine Henry, Shirley King, Elsa Knudsen, Betty Kolkman, Marjorie McKinney, Barbara Norton, Mary Lou Rathloun, Irene Reed, Evelyn Smith, Einora Siadt, Doris Todd, Charlotte Tuttle, Milliccnt Young, Paul Acker, Joe Crawford, Carl DeYall, Leonard Fer- rick, Len McMillan, Duane McNeil, Don Perkins, Glen Ozinga, Jim Schaafsma, Chester Scheltema, Dick Sterkenberg, Jack Trevellian, Clyde Wells, and Paul Versluis. PRIVATE INSTRUCTIONS The value and need in Christian service of well- trained muscians cannot be over-estimated. In order that the students might be equipped for this branch of the ministry, opportunity for private in- struction in voice and piano has been offered dur- ing the year under the tutelage of Professor Joseph Balbach and Miss Grace Knol. Several students and wives of seminarians have engaged themselves in serious study. Through hours of diligent practice they have gained skill and knowledge whereby they have been able to serve the Lord in a broader capacity in a variety of practical work assignments. Although the development of technique and artistry is of great importance, special emphasis has been placed on the spiritual appreciation and interpretation of the hymns of the church. Each period of instruction has been approached with prayer that the Lord's blessing might rest upon the efforts of pupil and instructor. Complete dedica- tion of talents for God’s honor and use has nulli- fied any other motive in achieving efficient music- ianship. SMALLER The Lord has blessed our school this year with an abundance of talent. Last year, if you remem- ber, there was but one Aiba sister, but to our amazement Connie's sister Margaret arrived to make up some special Spanish duets. Another favorite duet is composed of Gerrit Schut and Dave Smith, who have given stirring messages in song. A men's quartette composed of David Hess, Harwood Hess, Gerrit Schut, and Joe Balbach vis- ited the following churches for special meetings in song, testimony, and preaching of the Word: Wii- liamston, Hoslett, Brooklyn, Hudsonville, Hazel Park, Rochester, and Waterloo, Iowa. Members of the quartette also conducted a week of special meetings in Berrien Springs, Michigan. 0 GROUPS Solos have been rendered by Edith Girnus, Mar- jorie McKinney, Leonard McMillan, Joseph Bal- bach, Carolyn Cox, Paul Versluis, and Dr. Quentin Kenoyer. The Blessed Hope trio consisting of Carolyn Cox, Shirley King, and Millie Young has been singing in various places as well as the first year trio, con- sisting of Alvetta Acker, Doris Todd, and Charlotte Tuttle. Instrumental numbers by Charlotte Tuttle, Ches- ter Scheltema, and James Schaafsma on the trom- bone and trumpet have been a blessing. And He hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unlo our God: many shall see il, and fear, and shall trust in the Lord.

The finances of the average student kept him from seeking care although many times it was needed. Originally the service was to be offered without charge to the faculty and student body. Later it was extended to meet the more pressing needs of the students' families as well. This service has been made possible through the generous cooperation of many. We particular- ly mention Mr. John Cederlund, President Knol, and the Wealthy Street Baptist Church in which the clinic is hefd. Much credit for the effectiveness of the clinic belongs to Miss Joan Peckinpaugh, R. N., and Mrs, Warren Crow who have generously given their time and abilities as assistants to Dr. Quentin D. Kenoyer, a medical missionary for Assam, India. During the first four months of service, over fifty different patients were seen, and approximately one hundred and fifty clinic visits were made. Miss Joan Peckinpaugh, R. N. Dr. ond Mrs. Quentin D. Kcneyer The ministry of medicine in Christian service is not a unique one for it represents only one of the many melhods of filling the needs of individuals In the name of Christ. This ministry is proper at home and especially abroad, if an equilibrium is maintained with Christ always placed foremost. A social gospel has no place' in the work of a fundamental missionary, but the pressing needs of the foreign lands in health and disease make a medical service necessary. There is no better way to break into the heart of a sin-burdened heathen than through that portion of his being which is most acutely in need. Medical missionary wojpk requires much prayer and faithful giving by those led of the Lord. Ex- pense is great and deviation from the central pur- pose (preaching Christ) is easy. In spite of these difficulties, it has been used of the Lord wonder- fully in opening new areas to the gospel.

Another Successful Season in BASKETBALL thrills of winning three tournament games, of chills of fear from necessity of playing a game without three of our outstanding players, of worried looks at the scoreboard to see if we could possibly make up the deficit in the last two min- utes, of laughs at our enthusiastic score keeper (Professor Qyincer} os he nervously looked up from the score sheet to inquire, “What hap- pened?’ We greatly appreciate also the new uniforms purchased for the school by a friend. They not only improved the appearance of our team but gave to us added zest. Win or lose, every game was memorable for the wonderful Christian fellowship in hard, clean recreation. Whether the game was won or lost, the victory was ours, for our games were all pre- ceded by prayer committing each player and action unto the Lord. This in itself constituted a successful season. 1948, Class C city champions; 1949, Class A finalists; 1950, Class B finalists; three years, three classes, three finalists. That is the record of B.T.S. in the city recreation basketball league. No matter how dismal the season, the red and white of B.T.S. always “KUMI ORI in tournament time. This year’s tourney saw three consecutive victories for the Kumr Orioles before disaster struck in the form of that perennial nemesis. Seventh Reform- ed, in the finals of the Class B tournament. Our total for the season was seven wins and seven losses. At the opening of the secson we chose two of our number to act as scapegoats, Glenn Ozinga and David Hess, bench manager and captain respectively. We presented a great variety on the gym floor —Harwood Hess with his bald pate showing every time he dribbled; David Hess and his lay-up shots; Joe Balbach as he attempted to push op- posing players over with the large “front”; Clyde Wells, the bespeckfed fad from Allegan; “Speedy” Al'Jen'nex (the refs just did not see his feet touch the floor); and, oh, well, you get the idea. Good boys, ail of them, and as we hang up our uniforms we can say we enjoyed every minute of a very busy season. Now we look back over a season filled with cheers from our faithful student body, of the 45 Foar not thorn whirh kill thp body, but pro not able to kill tho soul-——Matthew 10:28 STUDENT COUNCIL The Sfudent Council is composed of representa- tives from every class in.school. The officers are: Herbert Vander Lugt, president; Orlan Wilhite, vice-president; and Evelyn Smith, secretary-treas- urer. Other members are Hollis Tiffany, Keith Me iver, Lloyd Carter, Connie Alba, Maxine Ander- son, and Morris Barker. Besides a part in the selection of the staffs of KUMI ORI and ''IT , the Sfudent Council seeks in every way possible to promote the best inter- ests of the school. For instance, the Student Coun- cil supervised our three school parties. Looking back over the past year, we feel that we have much for which to praise God. The various students who have been appointed and elected to the different staffs and committees have responded cheerfully and have faithfully fulfilled their responsibility. Many suggestions come to the council for con- sideration. The students who have ideas which may be helpful toward a belter campus life have the right to express their thoughts to any one of the members of the council. After much prayer, the council discusses the suggestions and seeks to take the necessary action. The Student Council may be considered as a go-between for the student body and the faculty. This, however, is not the main purpose of the or- ganization in our school. As a council, our primary interest is to work among and with the students in order to help them and to keep preeminent the person of our blessed Savior. A spirit of love and cooperation is manifest in the student body. We praise God for all these things, and pray that He will bless our school through the coming years with on ever deepening spirituality and an ever growing student body. But as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become fhe sons of God.—John 1:12 46 A Busy GIRLS FELLOWSHIP The girls in our Baptist Institute have fellowship meetings once a month. The meetings are always on a Friday night from 7:30 to 10:00 p.m. The last meeting of the year is special since it is the last for the seniors, so we have a picnic- supper with a wonderful farewell fellowship atler- wards. This year the officers were Millicent Young, president; Mary Jane Crow, vice president; and Margaret Alba, secretary. All of our meetings have been well planned by appointed committees. We open in prayer, then sing hymns and choruses. This part of the meeting is followed by special numbers and usually a guest speaker. Our meetings are always a blessing to each one who attends. We have become better ac- quainted and have good times together as we enjoy games and, of course, the refreshments. This year we have been working on projects for missionaries, making flannelgraph material, rolling bandages, and knitting. We know that we shall never forget our lovely fellowship meetings, for the Lord has blessed us so greatly. “But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanseth us from ail sin.

It Seemed Advantageous to Organize GREEK CLUB “For in much wisdom is much grief: and he that increaseth knowledge Increasefh sorrow.” (Eccle- siastes 1:18) Apparently the Rev. W. Herbert Scott either never read the above passage or else passed it over without much thought. In an effort to boost his grade in Professor Quincer’s class, he polished the apple by suggesting the formation of a Greek club. The purpose, be inferred, was to increase our knowledge of the Koine Greek. However, knowing his propensity for hidden motives, we wonder if his love for coffee and doughnuts, which are serv- ed afterwards, was not the primary motive. We do know that his ruse worked, for he did pass his examination in Greek. The club was organized in March, 1949. Mr. Scott was elected president, assisted by Victor Matthews as vice-president. For some unknown reason, the Greek instructor was approved as club advisor. Gerrit Ceton was railroaded into the en- viable task of wielding the pencil and collecting the shekels. The dub owes Professor Quincer a vote of thanks. Every last Monday of the month (meet- ing night) he issued a ukase that every student be prepared for a severe test on the following day. This has been a big help in holding the attend- ance down. Professors Wood and Pardee, as well as President Knol, were not so cooperative, for they eased up on the assignments, beside attend- ing the meetings themselves. The past year of the Greek Club has been pre- ious in fellowship, and beneficial to those inter- ested in the language in which the New Testament was written. We thank God Almighty for the ad- dition to our school of the Greek Club. The calibre of the men who have been invited to lecture to the club has been high indeed, and every meeting has brought a greater realization of the Lordship of Christ, for He truly is the ALPHA and the OMEGA. 1 am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and'which is to come, the Al- mighty.” (Revelation 1:8) To give light to them that sit in darkness and In the shadow of doath.
