STAUFFER Isaiah H- KAISER M. GASKILL P10770 English Important in any institution of learning is its staff of teachers. So great is the influence exerted upon impressionable minds by men and women of this profession that Christian young people interested in obtaining Biblical knowl- edge and insight, always desire to know the excellency and attitude of the in- structors. We, who have the privilege of being at the Bible Institute, know that our teachers are aware of the opportunity which is theirs in helping to mould lives for the service of Jesus Christ. By their conduct is indicated their realization of a solemn responsibility toward God. The instructors uncover the hitherto hidden treasures of God's Word. Con- sequently, what God says has become the focus of each student's life. The foun- dation of the teaching given us is the Rock of Salvation. Emphasis has been plac- ed upon Christianity as a life in contrast to mere dead formalism. The Bible is considered the basis of Christian doctrine and God, its author, the source of spir- itual life. His Son, Jesus Christ, is lifted up as the Lamb of God who taketh away the sin of the World. Redemption complete is possible only through the Holy Spirit who is our supreme director. ' In accordance with the teaching of the Bible that we are to be the light of the world, there has been stressed the necessity of taking the Gospel to others- of giving as well as receiving. Thus spiritual stagnation is avoided and God af- forded an opportunity to pour in fresh blessings. Of vital significance is the personal interest of each faculty member in the life of every student. There has always been manifested a warm and responsive readiness to help each one of us solve his spiritual questions or other problems confronting young people. Our gratitude rises to God for the concrete example of Christian character and life exhibited in each teacher. May God continue to use them as instru- ments of light in His hand for the equipping of other laborers for the whitened harvest. R1-IODA LEHMAN.
