 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.

Seminary D. Perlins. Vice Pres.; W, Crow, Pees.; J. Cr-avfcrdL Sec.-Trsos. Lead on, O King Eternal, the day of march has come; Henceforth in fields of conquest thy tents shall be oar home. 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. ' (Isaiah 45:2-3.) • 21 •
