Wino? ? T0 THE CLASS UF 1935 ln the light of the fact that you have niatle a beginning in the ministry of the highest calling on earth. let me give you the 101- lowing 2lCl1llOlllIl0l!, which I niysclt aln heeding. lf we want to understanrl what we study, retain what we learn, and have the ability to impart unto others what we have acrpiired. we must keep our bodies under, and not be governed hy our natural desires. XXX- inust not allow our own will to rule our little empire, but pin- wliole being must be under the guidance ot the Holy Spirit. for ,lt-sus says: XYhen He, the Spirit ot truth is conle, He will guide you into all truth. ll' we want to live a victorious Christian life, and continue to add to what we have already attained, we must live in the realni of prayer, as it is expressed in Acts six, But we will give ourselves continually to prayer. This means: l. l'rayer has the first place in all that we do. The apostle says, I exhort therefore that first ot all, supphcations. prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men. 2. Prayer in everything' Hut in everything hy prayer and supplication. with thanksgiving let your requests he made known unto God. 3. Continue in prayer: Hut we will give ourselves con- tinually to prayer. Let the incense ot prayer and praise rise continually troin the altar of our hearts. Going in the above described way, we shall be enriched more and more in the things of God and our lives will be living epis- tles read and known of all men. Believing prayer is the mightiest force in the world. Prayer is the largest channel through which the greatest blessing flows. Yours in the All-Sufficient One, J. E. Ramseyer. PRESIDENT
