 For our heart shall rejoice in Him, because we have trusted in His holy name. 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.
