SPECIAL STUDENTS Having been called into the service of tur blessed Lord, ue realized our great need of preparation. 'l'hanl-1 God, we are in camp, training to be efficient soldiers of the Grand Army of the Redeemedf' Hur camp is the Bible Institute, and we are receiving our added training by a special course of study. Having but a limited amount of time to spend in schiiol, a number of students chose those subjects that will be of the greatest benefit to them in future service. Some, having had former Bible School or college train- ing, wished to spend another year studying in a spiritual atmosphere. Some- times secular work prevents students from carrying a full schedule: so they are classed as special students. .-Xnother group of students who chose the special course are those who entered late in the school year. They are taking a number of varil us subjects until the following semester when they may pursue a standard course of study. IYe are not a Class, but we are privileged to elect subjects that fit our needs and circumstances. Wve go to the same classes: thus, we mingle and have fellowship with all of the students, workers, and teachers. XYe praise God for the glorious privilege of learning to more effective- ly wield our sword, the IYord, by studying to show ourselves approved unto God, a worlcman that needeth net to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

Having found salvation through our Lord jesus Christ, and having before us His supreme example of a true Christian life, we are earnestly making preparations in order that we might serve and follow Him with all sincerity and humbleness. Although there are a few of us who have not had definite calls. we are all seeking diligently to keep in the center of our Lord's will. If we are there, we have no need to worry and fret in our daily life. NYe find, in talking over our daily trials and experiences, that tiod wfrks differently in each of our lives. However, we know that through these trials and experiences we are brought into closer communion with our Lord ,lesus Christ. And so it is in this wonderful fellowship of Gods people that we receive untold blessings and comforts which inspire our hearts in ft llowing the teachings of God's XYord. Let us now look to the things we have obtained from our first year of Bible School. On coming here we had expected much from our various classes. XYe now realize niuch more than we had ever expected, for we have gained felli wship with Christian people that we shall never forget. Being within their presence, we have received a wonderful blessing and a deeper sense of Gods love. XYQ have also found that with the Holy Spirit working in our lives we are able to accomplish much for the glory of God. ACADEMIC STUDENTS
