EC 66 raining for Service and Service in Training has been the apt and pertinent motto of the Fort Wayne Bible Institute since its establishment in 1904. Moreover. dur- ing the years of its existence it has always tried to translate this motto into actual ex- perience. This it still endeavors to do today. The accomplishment of such a practical purpose demands teachers and teaching of the highest order. It necessitates that every member of t.he Faculty must not only know the Truth experientially. but it must be enshrined in his life, as Truth was in- carnated in the life of Iesus Christ. This living exposition of the Truth continues, in and out of the class room, until Truth becomes personified in the student. Such is the divine program! Such a program would fail of accomplishment were it not for the beneticent min- istry ol the Spirit of God. He distributes spiritual gifts to saved men and women: and these individuals, in turn, are given by Him for the ministry of the Church, the Body of Christ. The gifts of the Spirit of God. however. are always potential. They are to be dis- covered within Christian personality like buried treasure. They need to be develop- ed, dedicated to God used in His service, and distributed among others. For the re- alization of this obiective the Bible Institute of Fort Wayne and its Faculty finds its fruitful field of Christian service. It was built to fill such a need. It is maintained to render such service. It is for the accomplishment of this spiritual ministry that the Fort Wayne Bible Institute and its Faculty dedicate themselves. iii .. rf 1 -tr L X ' .11 Ill 1 iildrinimui , , , oiinsrnosi
