HIS FRIENDS Our adorable Lord jesus Christ said, Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you . . . I have called you friends, for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you. In Amos 5:7 we are told: Surely the Lord God will do nothing. but he revealeth his secrets unto his servants the prophets. Again, in Psalm twenty-tive. we read: The secret of the Lord is with them that fear him, and lie will show them his covenant. XY'hen God wants to do something out of the ordinary. He makes known His will to those who live in close fellowship with Him, and shows them what place in His program He wants them to till. This fact has been exemplilied over and over again in the history of His people-fllnoch. Noah, Abraham, joseph, Moses, David, Danielg Simeon and Anna. The great reformers and missionary leaders are also outstanding samples of this, Then, there were always many godly men and women whose names do not appear in the pages of history, to whom the Lord revealed what He was going to do, and showed them what part they were to have in His plan. In other words, every movement, great and small, that has become an eternal blessing to humanity was born of spiritual vision that some man, or group of men, has received from God. This is true also of the Fort Wfayne Bible Institute. God gave to some of us a vision of His plan for this work before it was born. Witli the vision, came the pattern and the purpose and the divine object. To the founders this was a sacred trustMsome of whom have already gone to be with the Lord. This ministry called for much earnest prayer, im- plicit faith, and real sacrifice-especially in the early , years of our history- Hand these three characteristics H, are outstanding today in this work. God has set His seal of approval on this ministry. 4, More than one hundred trained missionaries have already gone to the many lands where heathen dark- who received their preparation here, are scattered ness still reignsg and many more faithful workers, r W em . all over this country. , 5 JOSEPH E.
