Tilt: is lli. 4 HT TOXY FR. CLASS GF 1930 The Lord has done great things for us: whereof we tire glad. -Psa. 12613. As we look back through the years and see the Lord's guiding hand directing the course of each life, we are made to praise Him anew. He who has said, For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts, has used various means in leading each one. A number of us responded in youth to the call of the One who said, Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not. We are truly grateful to God for a Christian environment that influenced us to give the Lord first place, that not only the soul but the life might be saved to be used in His service. Several conversions were the direct result of mothers' prayers even though the answers were long delayed. In one instance the promise to meet his mother in heaven followed a son as he tried to run away from God. At last he found himself in Fort Wayne, xx here he went to a tent meeting just to pass away the time. During the altar call a worker touched a tender chord by asking him if he had a Christian mother. That night old things passed away, and all things became new. The sacred family altar followed another while out in sin. A dare to attend church, taken one evening while in college, resulted in a case of old fashiond conf viction. A few days later he found peace at his bedside. Others joined the church to justify themselves in the eyes of the world or to gain favor with God. Each time the Holy Spirit was faithful, placing within their hearts that indescribable longing to be free from all condemnation. At last kneeling by a bedside or at a mourner's bench, they let go and let God. There they found sweet peace. How characteristic of the world's unrest are the experiences of others among us! Dissatisfied and troubled in soul, they sought joy and satisfaction among the fleeting pleasures of time. In these cases the transforming power of God not only saved from sin but from the desire for the pleasures that last but for a season. The Lord has wonderfully proved to us that He is not only the Saviour of the soul but the healer of the body. ln one instance poor health followed a severe case of pneumonia, which at last developed into tuberculosis. She first pray' ed concerning small ailments and was gradually led out into the light of divine healing. At the time she was anointed she claimed for herself lsa. 535, with His stripes we are healed. She was instantly conscious of the Lord's healing power, and others witnessed a physical change in a remarkably short time. I am the Lord that healeth thee. All of us have found the Lord to be comfort in sorrow and a present help in time of need. While in Russia, one of our members passed through experinces so strange, and distress so great that waters of sorrow seemed to dash over his head. Human comfort became meaningless. Faith mounted upward, from whence came the quieting realization that His way is perfect. Precious it is to know the One who is able to deliver! While each has had experiences different from all others, yet the Lord has chosen to let us all enjoy one in common-that of sweet fellowship with Him and one another in the good old B. T. S. How we praise Him for the privilege of sitting at His feet and learning of Him, the Master' Teacher. To many of us these have been the most precious years, for here lives were yeilded to His control and deeper Christian experiences realized. Again and again throughout these years He has proved that when He putteth forth His own sheep He goeth before them. The Lord has wonderfully supplied the needs of those who trusted Him. Phil. 4:19-has been tested and found a safe promise on which to stand. As we shift the responsibility of our lives upon Him, we are confident that He will continue to lead. Let us as a class be concerned that we do not fail Him, and that every one may be able to say with Paul, I was not disobedient unto the heavenly vision, ggj ERN
