EVENING SCHOOL FIRST YEAR Quite a surprise was in store for those of us who enrolled in evening school this fall. 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
