DEDICATION The Reverend Sheldon B. 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

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.

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
