,,w,,.,. THE. JUNIORS I Semi the Iiglrf, Ibn' blrsserl Gospel light, Let it shine from shore to sbore. Sem! the Iigbf, the blessed Gospel light, Le! if sbine forever more. With this thought in mind our class of forty-seven Juniors came to Fort Wfayne in the fall of 1931. Everyone of us h:1d been called out of darkness into the marvelous light of God. Then because we realized the need of preparation to fit into God's great plan, we came to the Bible Institute. The new environment occasioned a feeling of strangeness which was soon replaced by joy- fulness and thanksgiving to God for the privilege of attending the school. We joined in the spirit of Christian fellowship which was so vitally sensed. Before long all strangeness had left and we felt at ease. Those who had not given everything over to God eventually yielded all to Him and came into the experience of the fulness of His blessing. The first days of school can be vividly recalled. Registration was completed and our new places of abode arranged by the evening of September 16. Mrs. Lugibihl and Mrs. Ramseyer with the other workers made us feel welcome. Outside of some Bible stories and a few Scripture passages our knowledge of Godis Word was very meager. Our Erst lessons and all following ones directed our attention to the vast resources of His unsearchable riches. Praise God! He is faithful! XVhen we are open for light He gives it to us. He has illuminated the Scriptures until His Word is much more precious to us now than ever before. Some passages have become real gems because they have been translated into our own experiences. On Friday evening at the first Mission Band Service, we listened to a message from a man of God. Thereafter our zeal for these services was kept kindled to a glow. Through definite revelations of the Lord's will our determination to go all the way with Him was continually strengthened. Some of us soon came to recognize the unwritten as well as the written rules. It was some time before we could understand that all were for our good. In the future we shall appreciate them more and will praise God for the lessons in obedience than are more acceptable than sac- rifice. To live with others unto edification requires a wholehearted cooperation springing from a glad heart of love. In preparing to do any work for the Lord a harmonious spirit must be cultivated. The practical work assignments made during the first week of school were somewhat new to us, but we knew that l'They that do know their God shall be strong and' do exploitsf' Since He has implanted svithin- us a love for the lost, our desire is to see the wandering ones confess their sins to Jesus and be washed in His blood. We, having presented our bodies a living sacrifice to God, are willing to be used in any way He sees best. We'll trust Him though we cannot see the path through which He leads us. God works in mysterious ways His wonders to perform. Testimonies of the indivdual members of the class have verified this many times. We have learned His will through yield- ing to Him. We have experienced His constant blessing by walking in the light of His Word. Watching others develop spiritually and rejoice in the Lord has encouraged our hearts and created Within us a hunger for more of God. Blessed are they that do hunger and thirst after righteousness for they shall be filled. May God abundantly bless each member of the Class of 1933 and keep him in the narrow Way until Jesus comes. ' Now unto Him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before thc presence of His glory with exceeding joy, to the only wise God our Savior, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and forever.
