2 prrrtytf ■ • Dedication Since its beginning, Hie Grand Rapids Baptist Theological Seminary and Bible Institute has been faithfully served by Miss Grace L. Knot in the capacities of registrar and dean of women. The. smooth run- ning of the school is largely due to her clear thinking and efficient planning. She has given unsfintingly and cheerfully of her time and talents to solve the problems of both the administration and students of our school. Her readiness to discuss perplexing problems with students has been a blessing and encouragement to many. As an expression of our gratitude, we dedicate the 1951 issue of KUMI CRT to our friend and counsellor, Miss Grace L. Knol, a loyal and devoted servant of Jesus Christ. Hellen Gearhart was called home to be with our Lord on June (7, 1950, after completing the first year of her course here. She was a diligent student, faithful and cheerful. Fellow students will remember most her devotion to the Lord and her passion for the lost. Though such physical suffering had been her portion, she gloried in tiibulation and found Him sufficient for meeting her every need. So we rejoice in her release to the land Thai is fairer than day where she has been welcomed, we ace confident, with ' Well done, good and faithful servant . . . enter thou into the joy of thy Lord. Word has just been received that a beloved member of our board, William Bolthouse, has been called home. To be' absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. We render thanb to God for the spiritual and material support he gave to' the school he loved. Our deepest sympathy is hereby expressed to his family. In behalf of the board, faculty, and students, GERARD KNOL, President Wherefore, brethren, lock ye out among you . . . man of honest report. fu!l of th Holy Ghost end wisdom, whom we may aopoint over this business Acts 6:3 • 7 Another year has slipped away and the motto, Only one life, twill soon be past, Only what's done for Christ will last, keeps ringing in our minds and hearts as we sit down to our monthly board meeting. W. Herbert Scott, R. Vernon Paulson, and Carl Bengert were the additions to this year's board. Elected to offices were: D. Otis Fuller, chairman; Harold It. Hess, vice chairman; Frank H. Gordon, secretary John Cederlund treasurer. The Board meets the second Monday of each month. Each meeting is opened with prayer, especially asking God’s blessing upon the school and that He might direct us in making correct decisions. The monthly reports and old and new business, which Includes the approving of applications of prospective students, fellows the season of prayer. Much thought and prayer goes into every bit of business. The Lord has showered down innumerable blessings upon the school. Fie has sent those into the school who are in sympathy with the teaching and standards of the school; given us instructors who are gifted in teaching and instructing wiling students; giver us many graduate students that have been thrust into the missionary fields; seen fit to send in the necessary funds to liquidate the indebtedness of the school. We have much to be thankful for and we praise the Lord for His goodness to us. 'Forever, O Lord, Ihv Word is settled in heaven. Thy faithfulness is unfo all generations. — Psalm 119:89, 90. Dear Seniors: As a parting word to you who have successfully completed the prescribed courses of study and are now leaving us for various fields of labor, I want to remind you of the piace that the Holy Scriptures have had in your training. It is well expressed in the three thoughts suggested in the above text, namely: the authority, comfort, and stedfastness of the Word of Sod. Its authority is suggested by the words, O Lord, Thy Word. The words lew, judgments, com- mandments, testimonies, statutes, and precepts abound in this psalm and clearly indicate that there is a Law-giver, and He is none other than Jehovah, the covenant-making and covenant-keeping God. His authority must not be questioned; it is absolute and unequivocal. All 'ntell'gent creatures must recognize this authority without reservations; but especially the child of God should say with the psalmist, O, how love I Thy law! It is my meditation all the day —'meaning that the will of God as revealed in the Holy Scriptures is his delight, or as the Apostle Paul expresses it, I delight in the aw of God after the inward man. If He is Lord, His Word is absolute. Then we are reminded of God’s faithfulness. Not only Is His Word one of authority but ot promise also. How great and numerous are His promises, beginning with the first one made to Eve, after she and Adam had plunged the human race into sin and misery, that in the fulness of time Goc would provide redemption through the promised seed. From that time on, through all subsequent generations, God made good His promises on the basis of His mercy and His grace to all those who embrace them to the present day. Surely, of His faithfulness Ihere can be no doubt. Moreover, His Word is stedfast. In the sixth chapter of Hebrews we are told thaf', for the assur- ance of the believer, God. who cannot lie, confirmed His unchangeable Word with, an unchangeable oath. This Word is called an anchor to the soul, which can neither slip nor drag. Also, the Living Word, our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, is the personification of the written Word, and it is to Him, who occupies the seat of ail authority, we are anchored. As graduates of an orthodox Baptist school you have been taught that the Bible is the full and final authority for faith and practice. Be assured of our prayers in your behalf for a faithful and fruitful ministry in the service of our blessed Lord. • 9 • DAVID OTIS FULLER A.B., Th.B., D.D. Homiletics Practice Preaching ROBERT G.

Knickerbocker, Vice Pres.; H. Vender Lugt. Pres.; A. Brown, Sec.-Treas. Before fhe conflict of the worlds, God's selective service was in sess’on. Each individua life was being planned. Then in time and space, the Holy Spirit inducted the members of this class from various walk of life to train for Christian service. At first the weapons of our warfare seemed strange and complicated. Ali ot those in the training command promptly sought to confine both body and soul to the guard house of intellectual delinquency. First Sgt. Quincer goaded us through the blood-chilling catacombs of church history and compelled us to resurrect the dry bones of fallen ecclesiastica! com- rades, whose venerable exploits were related with great enthusiasm as life's ideal. He also crammed our craniums with agonizing details, barking orders to dig foxhoies feverishly with our mental shovels among the decayed roots of antiquated Greek verbs. Second Lieut. Wood also doggedly, without regard for mental exhaustion, drove us over a tortuous obstacle course ot a hieroglyphic hodge podge called Hebrew. Dr. Pardee jammed between our molars a Strong potion of antiherestamine1 as an antidote for any heretical anemia in our mental blood-stream. Capt. Knol also insisted that the local Bap :st amphibian Is efficient either to surmount all ecclesiastical terrain or to immerse beneath controversial water under its own power without the towing of conventional bulldozers. He also warned against aerial, fly-by-night evanjetoplanes1 who first short burst of emotional fire. With more serious reflection, we es a class, are indeed thankful nor the high caliber of training that we have received. We have become well acquainted with our weapons and the tactics of the enemy. Let us then use these weapons and enabled by fhe power of God, cause the boldest enemy to retreat in disorder. Let us advance unitedly with ghtning sud- denness and effectiveness against the oncoming spiritual foes, that we may yet liberate many under Satan's tyranny to the rehabilitation of the liberty of the Son of God. We fight a winning battle, for Christ is our Commander, the dawn of Victory Day is already appearing on our horizon when the triumphant armies of Ihe King of Kings shel receive the crown of glory that fadeth not away.

Ps. 33:21. We praise God that He has seen fit to allow us another blessed year in Seminary. As we face today s problems ws realize more and more how important it is to have a thorough understanding of the Word of God, as well as complete training in opposing heresy. Ws rejoice in Him for the willingness of each instructor to give his life over completely to God's cell for the training of servants for Him. If has been a privilege in these past years lo absorb the truths presented by these men of God. As a class we will always remember the sweet fellowship as Christians that can be found oy unity in Christ. We will remember the blessings received both from our books as well as from the more humorous side—such as giving our teachers Christmas presents! May God help us always to trust in His holy name as it is only through Christ, who gives wis- dom and strength, that we can look forward to our closing year at B.I.S. with new encouragement to press forward. We find a free will grow and grow, For such is nature’s way And if perchance it fails to grow We know there is decay. So is if with the Spirit-life It must unfold and grow, There is no haf-way standing still, if Forth or backward we go. Our desire, as this poem expresses, is to continue to grow spiritually, with no decay marks, so that our lives may be Spirit-filled, radiating the love and beauty of our blessed Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ: that we may always press toward the mark for the prize of the high colling of God in Christ Jesus.

Thro' days of preparation thy grace has made us strong, And now. O King Eternal, we lift cur battle song. Lead on, O King Eternal, we follow no! with fears; For gladness breaks like morning wher e'er thy face appears; Thy cross is lifted o'er us; We journey in its light: The crown awaits the conquest; Lead on, O God of might. This has become the prayer of our lives. We praise the Lord for His leading thus far. He has led and prepared us through our childhood days, through high school, some through service in our armed forces, some through college, Bible institute, or our own pre-seminary. But each has felt His leading to this place at this time. We believe, yes, we know that it is-God's will for us that we train for His service here. We have nor only His leading, but His blessing of approval as together v e have studied, worked, and fellows hipped. We have been brought into this class that our lives might mutually bless and os blessed, inspire and be inspired, help and be helped. The Lord has led us together that we might be molded more closely to the image of His blessed Son. There is much to be done, for the fields are while already unto harvest. As we go on through our seminary training and then into further service, we breathe a prayer to God, Lead on. O King Eternal; and from our almighty God comes the reassuring cry. I will go before thee and make the crooked places straight: I will break in pieces the gates of brass, and cul in sunder the bars of iron: and I will give thee the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that thou mayest knew thal I, the Lord which calieth thee by name, am the God of Israel.

A fall changeover from tired muscles and aching backs to writer's cramp and heavy eyelids was put into effect September 6, 1950, for our class. Three months of physical labor made us ready and willing to ply our pencils and use our grey matter in preparation for service for our Lord. It must have been much hotter last summer than, we imagined, as the heat seemed to have had a nullifying effect on our thinking capacity. Therefore the first month was spent in becoming adjusted to staying up late nights, getting up early in the morning, and studying on the way to and home from school. What a joy it was for us, when we finally had a moment to survey our surroundings, to discover that we knew each other. Aside from a car accident that kept one of our group away we could easily be identified as the first year class of the previous year. Happy memories of that year's fellowship inspired us to organize a Thursday morning praise and prayer group. As we share each other's joys and problems we are drawn closer to God and each other. How thankful we are for this time together as a class. The student bo y%|f our school has been hit this year by two old foes viz., the beckoning finger of Uncle -Sim and the rising cost of living. Our class also has been stricken and we are taughf many vafrobie lessons as we endeavor to help each other. Our purpose is still the same. We have been called to prepare for service for the King. We are determined that the close ol this year will find us better fitted to the task. • 23 • Second Year Pre-Seminary Pochard Beach Lyle DeMeesfer Alton Glazier David Huirenga Leonard McMillen Glen Ozinga Alfred Trevillian Leroy DeVrie's (not pictured) Gene Sickler John Thurber 24 First Year Pre-Seminary Paul Acker Dale Bradford Alva Cook Dwight Cooper Norman Eastman Robert Losinger Charles McMurray Dale McNeil Alfred Mersman Maurice Rodman Jim Schsahme Ray Schaedig Chester Scheltema Lyman Simpson John Stock Ernest Thompson Bob Wessetl Ed Wilcoxson • 2S • 'Study to shew thyself approved unto Sod, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

Philippians 1:6 The Lord has been good in bringing us back to school to continue our training for His service. Renewing friendships, discussing last year's activities, classes chape! services the first assignments, and sharing the past summer s experiences in the Lord's service characterized the first few days of school. Mew friendships found a good start at the warm reception held in Decker Hall early in September. in October the class gave a farewell shower for Eugenya Sivertsen who fs now serving the Lord in Peru, South America. As we are looking forward to fhe senior banquet and graduation, we are waiting upon the Lord for guidance fo the field of service in which He would have us.

Psalm 126:3 Little did we know, when entering school last fall, what wondrous blessings our Lord had in store for us. Eight o'clock Tuesday morning, September S. found about 75 bewildered students gathered together for the first time In Patterson Hall. Joyous greedngs could be overheard as upper classmen excitedly welcomed each other back to school. The new students were quickly drawn into conversation with the veterans and were made to feel welcome and at home. The first morning was spent in receiving instructions concerning our course of study, locations of classrooms, school regulations, and in purchasing bocks for the first term's work. The members of our class represent nine states of the Union — Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, Ohio Wisconsin, Iowa, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and New York — and have come from all w.alks of life. A large percentage have come directly from high school while others have received nursing and teaching training, worked as telephone operators, clerks, secretaries farmers, and factory workers. What a joy it was to come from the cold, godless world into a school permeated with the Holy Spirit of God — where Christ is Lord, where every class begins with a word of prayer and song of praise and is dismissed in prayer. Our hearts were impressed with the important part prayer played in the life of the school as we discovered that eve-y Monday chapel service is devoted to prayer for each other, and that Tuesday through Friday halt- hour prayer meetings are held before school on behalf of the school and foreign missionaries. Praise flooded all of our hearts as one of our members testified to having realized that he had been Irving under a false assumption of salvation, but fhaf now he krew the Lord Jesus as his own personal Saviour. As we sludy God s Word and the great Christian Doctrines our faith is strengthened and we are understanding more fully what we believe and why. Our desire is to be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh ... a reason of the hope that is in us with meekness and fear.

After attending a few classes and chapel sessions we became sufficiently orientated to be able to settle back and enjoy our- selves. Our professors did their best to help us. We recall the consoling words of Mr. Matthews assuring us that by .next year we would surely be able to take notes fast enough to keep up with him. Mr. Quincer, too, was most kind. No questions except (hose on the list were to be asked on an examination. Only a first-termer would be comforted by those words. Now we realize with chagrin the alarming length to which that list can grow before exam time! Yet approximately one year anc thirty six exams later we can say with a very real sense of conviction deep in our hearts that it has been qood for us to have been here. We are more aware than ever before how little we actually know about the most important book in the world, the Bible. Our spiritual appetites have been whetted and a desire to know why we believe what we believe has been awakened within us. It is impossible to drink In the blessings of class and chapel without receiving a renewed desire to go and tell. Our prayer is that God shall so direct the words of our mouth and the meditation of our hearts before Him that we shall be useful in His service all the days of our :ves. -• 34 • Evening School ROGER CARLSON Mission.

Psalms 126:3, “The Lord has done great things for us: whereof we are glad EUROPE PRAYER BAND The European Prayer Band has been praying for the 450,003,000 unevongelized souls of Europe. Ojr hearts have been burdened that a greater missionary effort might be put forth on this needy continent. While praying tnat accepted candidates might be speedily sent forth we have no forgotten those that labor there at the present hour. We have beer praying for Dan and Ida Feryance, Arthur and Irene Sommervil e, Eunice Stowell fie'nice Inman, Mar garet Allman and others Ir France and for Doris Roethlisberger at Frankfurt, Germany. We have a so preyed that the Lord would use those missionaries in Paris who are studying the French language in preparation for missionary work in Africa.

These words were written by a missionary who has labored faithfully many years for the Lord in Africa. We, in the African prayer bond, have had the privilege and responsibility of upholding many of the -wothers of the Dark Continent in prayer. It has been our aim to remember the specific needs of individual missionaries, those serving on the fields, those on furlough, and the candidates under appointment. Native Christians, who so need the prayers of God's people, v ere remembered too. Our weekly meetings have not only afforded us a time to pray together, but they have given us a little clearer vision of the conditions and needs of the field, and a deeper burden for lost souls. Mr. Walter Kronemeyer, missionary to Liberia, West Africa, brought an interesting and challenging message to our group in the early part of the school year. HOME MISSION. PRAYER BAND MThe fields are whits unto harvest in many parts of our United States, for example. New York City where millions of peopie know not our Lord Jesus Christ. In the hills and mountains of the south- land there ere many who never had a testimony of Christ among them. Then transferring our minds to the West Coast, w© see in the state of California many new communities springing up without a single church which preaches the Gospel of God's redeeming grace. There are also many opportunities open in the Columbia Valley of Oregon and Washington. With these needs which are set before us and countless others yet urimentioned, it behooves us as ambassadors for Christ to pray the Lord of the harvest to thrust forth laborers into these fields and to go ourselves if God leads us. THE FAR EAST PRAYER BAND The Far Eastern Prayer Band is praying for more than 500,000,000 souls in Japan, China, and the Islands of the Pacific Ocean. Almost fifty per cert of these people are still unevangelized. Doors seem to be closing and missionaries ore having to return home from the fields. WifJ you not join us in praying? Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that He will send forth laborers into His harvest. Matthew 9:38. SOUTH AMERICA PRAYER BAND 'Where there is no vision the people perish. Prov. 79:18. Our hearts have been challenged to the great need of the mission field today. The Lord has given us a vision of some sixty million in South America who can only say, I looked on my right hand, and behold, but there was no man that would know me: refuge failed me: no man cared for my soul ’ Psalms 142:4. Each Thursday morning af 7:30. we meet for Scripture reading, prayer and reports from the field that have been gathered by the members during the week. That greet testimony which Paul records in Romans 1:14-16, has been chosen es our motto verse. I am debtor ... so, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the gospel.. . . For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ. 39 Practical Work Assignments Wyoming High Bible Clubs Wyoming High OH, what a joy to tell all the world of Jesus! In 5 small way we have experienced this joy ir, telling the glorious story to the children in our Bible Clubs each Wednesday afternoon. Bible stories, prayer, Gospel songs, memory verse work, end some types of handwork formed the major part of the programs. The average attendance was around fifteen. We cannot number the results of the work the Lord has done, ncr enumerate the blessings received by those who had a part n leading or teaching. We have had a high privilege end respon- sibility to present the glad tidings of the salvation of our Lord to these little ones. Many of the boys and girls who had already accepted the lord as Saviour, have evidenced spirifua growth and we praise the Lord for this. City General Hospital We look forward to our assignment each Sunday afternoon at the City General Hospital from 3:00 P.M. untii 4:00 P.M. There is no place for a formal service, so the students gather in the hallway to sing several familiar hymns and to have prayer. After the singing, we are given the opportunity of going to the men's and women's swards to do bed-sice personal work. A few of the patients are Christians and we have joy in fellowship around the Word of God. Our main objective :s to explain the plan of salvation not only to those who are physi- cally ill, but to the sin-sick souls who do not know the Lord Jesus Christ as their personal Saviour. We usually read a passage of Scripture, have prayer, and leave a few Gospel tracts. Mary Free Bed Guild Many blessings have been received in ministering to the children at the Mary Free Bed Guild. Madge Camelin and Denna Sharpe have been working with the boys and girls, whose ages range from three to seven. There are many different afflictions among these children. Some are spastic, and some must lie in bed, while in casts or braces. (n spite of their afflictions, we have found them very much interested, cooperative, and eager to hear the Word of God. They are always anxious to hear the Word of God in flannelgraph-form and in story-form. Different religions are represented in the group among which is Roman Catholicism. There was some opposition for awhile, as they took many of the children out. But we are thankful that through prayer, they were soon back again. Choruses seem to be their favorites in sinqinq. When asked their choice very often they say, I Will Trust. That is our prayer that they will put their trust in the Lord Jesus Christ. Monroe Mission Our school is blessed with the privilege of serving the Loral at the Monroe Mission. Every other week eight to ten students take charge of the Saturday night meeting. One student brings an evangelistic message while others offer special music, testify, do personal work and support the meeting with prayer. While the meeting is in progress some of the students stand outside the Mission passing out tracts and quoting Scripture to the passersby, thus reaching those who never go to church. The men who come into the Mission are usually low and degraded, looking tor a bowl of soup which is served after the meeting. Seme who receive tracts come back the next week to discuss problems which have arisen in their minds. They are very often problems about their own personal beliefs which are contrary to God's word of His plan of salvation. The Soldier's Home Assignment Each Sunday afternoon a group of our students visit the Soldier's Home. The Home consists of four buildings including a hospital. It houses and cares for several hundred men and women. We have a Gospel meeting in the auditorium on the first and the- third Sundays of every month and do personal work on the other assignments. On the personal work Sundays after instructions end a time of prayer we start out from room to room with the Glad Tidings that Jesus saves. The women go to the main building to speak to the women and the men go to the new building to do personal work. A great many of the people are Roman Catholics and sometimes we are quite rudely asked to leave when they see our Bibles. The men like to talk and our job is to keep the conversation centered on Christ and their need of Him. We have opportunity to speak to several and in some there Is a real hunger for the things of the Lord. We leave those people with a burden for those who continue to reject Him. Spanish Services The Lord gives His children many opportunities to work for Him. A group of students have been burdened for the Spanish speaking people, and twice a month we hold a service at one of five homes which has opened their doors to us. We thank Him for if. In October a group went and ministered to the people in Grant. At our first service only two were present. At our last one fifteen persons attended. The message is delivered in English by a student and is translated from English into Spanish by Margaret Alba or Margaret Tolosa. Wyoming High School Truth for Youth We count it a privilege to take the Gospel in word and music to the Truth for Youth Club of the Wyoming Park High School twice each month. The club meets from 12:00 noon fo 12:30 P.M. on Wednesdays with thirty to fifty students in attendance. After a time of sing- ing and special music supplied by students of our school, a message from God's Word is given. Those in charge of the Oub have shown us the utmost courtesy and Christian hospi- tality. It is a welcome opportunity to witness for our Lord and to challenge these young hearts fo accept Christ: and of Christians, fo give their lives completely lo Him for His service. God grant that such opportunities may continue to be ours and that we may make the utmost use of them for the glory of God.

We had run out of dersel fuel. This was one of the humorous times we had on our tour, but what a time of spiritual refreshment waiting for the fuel truck proved to be! We spent the time quoting favorite verses, testifying to persona! blessings received and praying. This choir tour during Spring vacation was the zenith of our concert season. We sang in twelve GARB Churches in the Midwest, from Detroit to Topeka. Because of chronic tardiness, Judas was appointed to collect fines from the latecomers. A penny a minute produced a prosperous purse, later used to purchase a gift for the driver. The program of the choir has included concert; in 22 Michigan GAR.B Churches. Under the leadership of the music instructor, Mr. Joseph Balbach, the male quartet, girls' sextette, and the choir have presented Christ and challenged young people to prepare for His service. Much prayer and preparation preceded each concert. While the Lord tarries we plan to continue serving the King of Kings through the medium of song. • 44 • r Spring Choir Tour Baske+ball BTS 26 Trinity Reformed 42 BTS 18 Caledonia Lutheran 29 BTS 34 Grace Reformed 28 BTS 16 Caledonia Lutheran 28 BTS 3?

This year our officers have been: Maxine Anderson, president; Alvetta Acker, vice president: and Connie Elfstrom, secretary and treasurer. The usua’ program follows: Group singing, a devotional message, business meeting, a comical skit, games, work on projects, and refreshments. Many interesting speakers were engaged for these meetings, and a variety of subjects were discussed which have been helpful in developing our Christian lives. Among these have been Mary Jane Crow, who spoke on Knowing Him : Grace Knol, who impressed us with the treas- ures we possess in Christ; Mary Vanhetloo, who helped us with our hygiene problems; and Carole Bentz, who brought a challenging missionary message through the testi- mony of her own call to India. We also enjoyed a film production of John Bunyan's great classic, 'Pilgrim's Progress. ’ Our projects for the year have been rolling bandages and making tracts in various languages for missionaries. We look forward to Girl’s Fellowship because of the blessings received from com- munion with our Lord and our dear Christian friends. • 47 • My Son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my commandments with thee; so that thou incline Itiin© ear unto wisdom, and apply thine heart to understanding; yea, if thou cnest after knowledge, and liftest up thy voice for understanding; if thou seekest her as silver, and searchesf for her as for hid treasure; then shalt thou understand the fear of the Lord, and find the knowledge of God. ' The Greek Club of the Grand Rapids Baptist Theological Seminary has now weathered the storm for two complete years since organizing in March of 1949. The officers of the first year served very efficiently to organize the Club but gave way to a new trio to carry on the work. David E. Smith was elected to fake over pilot's seat in the place of W. I lerbert Scott; Robert Nelson was the successor of vice-president Victor Matthews and Foresl Anderson took over the duties of the humorous Gerrit Ceton, namely, secretary and treasurer. Mr. Quincer, of course, continues as the Club adviser. Not many changes took place in the Club during the year, but one important addition was made. At the September meeting the motion was made and carried, that the club have membership cards printed and that dues for membership would be one dollar per annum. This has worked cut very fine, the club having 17 active members at this writing. It has always been the purpose of our club to bring in men of high caliber, especially those well versed in Greek, to speak to us, and this past year has been no exception. They have consisted of professors of other Theological Seminaries including Cslyin in Grand Rapids, and Western in Holland, Michigan, local pastors and professors of our own Seminary. However, while the intellectual aspect of our club has been stressed, the spiritual atmos phere has not been neglected. We have Hied, and it is our desire to do that which man was created for, namely to bring honor and glory to God 'n all of our words and deeds, realiz- ing it is the grace of God which saved us, and the Spirit of God which irnpowers us. Hence while we deem it essential to maintain a high intellectual standard, we make the intellectual subordinate to the eading of the Spirit of Gcd. • 48 • M. Alba, M. Huber H. Vander Lugi, C. Wells, A. Glezisr. E. Wilcoxson To many students it may seem that the Student Council is a quiet organization. They remember having met at the first of the year in their respective classes for the purpose of electing two members from each class, with the exception of the Seminary which just sends the president of each class, to be their student council representa- tives. Except for making announcements in Chapel, little was said about the Student Council work. However, behind the scenes these chosen members were very busy in an earnest endeavor to promote the general welfare of the student body. The first meeting of the organization was held for the puroose of electing officers for the council itself. Results of the election were as follows; Herbert Vender Lugh president; Bob Nelson, vice president- Norma Huber, secretary. Clyde Wells, Ed Wilcoxson and all class presidents make up the rest or this body. The next work of the council was the selection of candidates for election of the Kumi Ori staff. These names were submitted to the student body for final vote. As the year progressed, there were naturally a few student problems which arose. These were carefully discussed and acted upon by the student council. One of the last actions done by the council was to select nominees for the Kumi Ori staff for next year. God's Word tells us v e may take everything to the Lord and He will direct our ways. Student Council always considered all decisions in the light of what its members felt to be the Lord's leading. Every session was opened and closed with prayer; each problem being considered not only carefully but prayerfully that the Lord might be able to work His will out through (his organization. • 49 • Privates The Baptist Bible Institute is being wonderfully blessed by the Lord, and each yea' brings an ever-increasing number of students who enrol for the courses. This year the dormitories were over-crowded and the overflow of students found resi- dence in private homes throughout the city. Many of the girls have made arrange- ments to work for their room and board 'n these homes, which has relieved the'r financial problems considerably. This type of work consists of general household duties and caring for children. Many of the homes are equipped with the most mod- ern conveniences which makes the work comparatively easy and enables the student to gain good praefica! experience. The greatest advantage of such work is the idea' opportunity afforded for witnessing for Christ. Other students living outside of the dc'rmtories includes those who reside in their own homes, trailers,‘and those who drive in from the surrounding districts.

Instead of jumping up as they should, they lie there thinking of the thirty remaining minutes before breakfast. Then to the - dismay word get around that the bell that just rang was the one announcing breakfast in five minutes. Girls jump from the top bunk, while the ones in the lower bunk duck to keep from getting hit. Prom then or. it is every girl for herself. Yes, somehow they all seem to make it to breafc- fast well, and with a hearty appetite, he men from the men's dorm eat with us. There s prayer before meals, then Scripture reading and prayer after each mea of the oey. The ucky four who happen to be on the dish crew start the day off with a bang — the airs hurry off to do their dorm duties before going to school. Some get a last rminute glance at them assign- ments for the day. After school the men and women again meet for fellowship around the table. By one o'clock the who work have left: some are off to their rooms for the studying of God's Word: others go to the basement to wash or iron. Of course fhe dish crew is at it again. It is now six o'clock and time for the boys to assembly at Van Osdel Hell awaiting for ihe evening meal. God is the unseen Guest at every gathering, and the fellowship around the table is edifying. After the evening mea four of the students do Ihe dishes, a group assembles n the base- ment lo play ping pong and others gather around the piano to sing. Seven-thirty comes and with it the bell for quiet hours. We study tron 7:30-9:30. At 10 o’clock he girls gather in the iving room for dorm devotions. This is a blessed time of he week and is looked for by all. At I0:45 P.M. trey are in their rooms ready for private devotions, with the lights out at i I o’clock P.M., the girls are off to sleep awaiting the blessings in store for them the next day. Things that will never be forgotten — dorm duties — cishes, dishes, dishes — fel- lowship — exciting ping pong games — derm parties — all our wonderful friends — just plain dorm life. • 52 • Mrs; VanhdHoo Spurgeon Hall • 53 • In our dormitory life we experience shinnying up a porch post or entering a window when we find ourselves without a key, settling down—way down,— in a half-made bed, and getting up and leaving the bed half-made, rushing madly to breakfast and school at twenty-five m’ies per hour, the cruel enforcement of quiet hours in the after- noon and evening, and someone asking who put paper in the buzzer so that it will not work. We do the drudgery of daily duties and , . . well, after all, this IS Spurgeon Hat. Do these pictures look familiar to you? The one of Spurgeon Hall does to us who fve therein, having left our jobs and churches lo come to school. We have two church deacons, a choir d'rector, a bull-dozer operator, an ex sailor, an electrician, a valve grinder a farmer, a grave-digger, and a puff-gun operator in a cereal factory. So you see that we can be quite self-sufficient. “Mom Mrs. Van is tho lady Who lives in a shoe, But with twenty-four girls She has learned what to do. Every girl has a duty To do every day; For sharing ths dorm work Makes it home — in a way. Each person is provided With plenty of food: For our cook — Mrs. Schu+t Is especially good. After meals come the dishes And my, of all joys This is one of the times They can be near the boys. At the sound of fhe bureer Each girl makes a run To study the lessons Whether drudgery or fun. There Is discipline, counsel. And fellowship sweet, With games, skits, and parties To mass dorm-life complete. Mixed with work, study, and play Are times round the Word, And songs, praise and prayers made To our wonderful Lord. • 54 • 55 Monday Prayer Tuesday Praise Wednesday Student's Day Thursday President's Day Friday Guest Speaker BTS Missionary Family • 57 • The Alumni Association of the Grand Rapids Baptist Theological Seminary and Bible Institute was organized by our' first graduating class on January 14, 1944. It was organized to promote the spiritual and material welfare of the school, end to assure a continuing fellow- ship among the graduates. We meet four times a year, and enjoy rich fellowship together in the Lord. Since the first graduating class in 1943 many students have gradu- ated from our beloved school. Some are in full-time Christian work as missionaries and ministers both in this country and in foreign lands. Others are taking further training in preparation for the Lord's work. We thank God for the way He has directed each one of us as alumni into various phases of His great work. 58 • Faculty Gerard Knol, Pres. 704 Lovett Ave. Grand Rapids, Mich. George Adams R.R.
