Ygrospectuy The Fort VVayne Bible Training School was founded and grew to be what it is in conse- quence of a Scriptural vision and an active faith. With these generative qualities in evidence in an increased degree at the present time, it may well be expected that a larger sphere of service lies before it. The vision of the Bible 'Training School's work is coextensive with the world's need of the Gospel. No age could have offered it the opportunity for service that the present one affords. From the standpoint of evangelism, it is challenged by many open doors. Religious tolerance. freedom of speech and press, and a noticeable decrease in illiteracy are marked advantages. contributing much to the acceleration of Gospel work. Moreover, modern means of travel make it possible for workers which it trains to reach a parish of millions in only a few days. How eagerly the martyrs of the centuries must look down upon our day, wondering what will be done with such an opportunity! Surely the existence of a Bible Training School at such a time as this is a providential provision. In view of so great a challenge, the Bible Training School is striving to increase its efficiency and capacity for training young people to serve. lts present building campaign is a practical move in this direction. It is the conviction of those supporting this project that the Bible Training School is a most effective evangelical agency. The prayers of its many friends are an invaluable spiritualizing factor to the school and do much in keeping it true to its vision. May God reward all who support it in this way. Its Work is essentially spiritual, and is therefore dependent upon God's continued blessing if anything worth while is to be accomplished. Let us pray, not so much that God will make it a great institution, but rather that He will use it in a large way to accomplish His purpose. -i. -... -' 'Q f' H - 7

REV. J. E. RAMSEYER, PRESIDENT To the Clam 0fI9 6' Too much emphasis cannot be placed on the reading of the XVord of God, and on the study of prophecy and history, commandments and promises. doctrines and examples contained therein. jesus says, Search the scriptures, for in them ye think ye have 'eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. ---Ino. 5 139. Again we read, All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof. for correction, for instruction in righteousness: that the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works. -2 Tim. 3 :l6,l7. In the same letter, the apostle exhorts, Study to shew thyself approwd unto God, a Workman that ne-edeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. However, let us never lose sight of the fact that salvation, from its initial stage and every onward step to its highest degree, is a matter of divine revelation, for we read in Matt. 11:27. All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father! neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son. and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him. Learning does not bring spiritual, understanding. but it enables us to convey more intelli- gently to others what has been revealed to us by the Spirit of God. Let us, therefore, apply our minds diligently to the study of Gods word. and always depend on the Holy Spirit, whose mission it is to enlighten us. to lead us into all truth, and to' Fill us with all things in Him, and thus be enabled to perform our mission in whatever tield our Work may be. Yours in the Unfailing One, I. E. RANISEYER. 9
