CHAPEL HUUR Wflhffwvl l ttltt . , . - A 1 AB .1 ' Despite Professor Steiner's great efforts to have all students on time for Chapel, many of them still straggle in late. However, great improvement has been noted in their general punctuality. Another trouble is the students' persistence in moving farther and farther back every day: although they have been given numerous oral and written exhortations to come to the front. Perhaps the reason for this is that many students expect to sit in the very front as leaders the rest ot their lives, and desire to make the best of the days when they can sit unobtrusively in the very back of the chapel. May we here note our thanks for the labor of Professors Ringenberg and Steiner in getting the students in the Center section far enough forward to take a good picture. But, aside from the humorous vein, the students acknowl- edge the Chapel Hour as a time when they have been given food for thought, when they have been quickened in their souls, and when they have been drawn nearer to God. Together we thank God for it.

he Bible lnstitute of Fort Wayne is a means to the accomplishment of a Scriptural declared purpose. lt is a spiritual laboratory where divine promises and provisions are put to actual test and authenticated and approved in Chris- tian experience. lt is one link in a golden chain of four units. This golden chain begins and ends with God. But between its ends this chain encompasses the world and binds it to the heart of God. The intervening links in this divine chain are the faculty members and the student body of the Bible Institute. Both, undef the rninistration of the Spirit, receive and give. Truth is received in order that it may be given to others. If it is freely given by the members' of the Faculty, it is readily received by the students themselves. Accordingly, each student looks upon himself as the repository into which each faculty member is pouring the riches of his own study and experience and first-hand acquaintance with God. Consequently, each student becomes the trustee of everything he receives. And :r KD 5. E 1 U so 2 Q. U1 5. rr 1: 9. if 1 9. :v CD 1 P vv :s O E. 5 to 5 9.

M iss Butz The Senior Class of l945, as it leaves the sacred halls of the Fort Wayne Bible institute, will not leave the memories of enriched fellowship with both God and fellow classmates. The waves of spiritual blessings and fellowship have been uplifting in the class meetings which have been held the first Thursday evening of each month. Several of these meetings have been entirely devotional with a mess- age from the Word by the chaplain, followed by praise and prayer. In oth- er meetings, a period of devotion has been followed by the class business meeting. Highlights of the senior events include the Iunior-Senior banquet, the Senior Outing, Baccalaureate, and Commencement. Bev Torrey lohnson, founder of the Youth for Christ Rally in Chicago, is our Commencement speaker.
