10 Business Manager J. RONALD BURNSIDE I was born again as a young man, but not realizing the greatness of sal¬ vation, I followed afar off. The turn¬ ing point in my spiritual career came when I married. My wife became my guide in spiritual things. Not long after our marriage the burden for God’s work became more real and by leaving the job of grain buying I could put more time into the work of the Lord. I took part in the forming of Bethel Mission in Pangman, which always has been a highlight in my life. The years as manager of Trossachs Camp helped to train my life for the position I now hold. Although I have never been called to be a preacher, I feel the Lord has given me a ministry and a burden for the work I am now endeavouring to fulfill. Romans 12:11-13 “Not slothful in business . . . serving the Lord.” Sister Ruth Martin and Sister Mildred Sauer graduated from F.G. B.l. with the class of 58. We are thankful that they were willing to return this year and join the staff of the institute. Their labours have been appreciated! Mildred says, 1 was born and raised in a Christian home. While attending Kedleston Camp in 1945, I accepted Christ as my personal Saviour and was graciously bap¬ tized in the Holy Spirit. My work for the Lord has been centered in Vacation Bible School and Sunday School work, and every opportunity for service has been appreciated.” Ruth says, I was saved at the age of six while attending a service con¬ ducted in a country school. In 1949 I received the Baptism in the Holy Spirit at Kedleston Camp. The past two summers have been spent in children’s work. My desire is to do my best for Jesus. Cooks RUTH L. MARTIN and MILDRED D. SAUER

12 Student Council Did you ever attend a Bible Institute? If you did you discovered that you were dealing with human beings not angels. Young people with con¬ viction! Young people with ideas! Ideas not always accepted by the school. Ideas not always wrong but not always right either. The student body is entirely new every three years. The faculty per¬ sonnel hasn ' t changed a great deal in fifteen years. Thus the situation is like the days of Reoboam king of Judah. There are ‘old advisors” and “young advisors”. This is one real reason for a Student Council. The Council be¬ comes the mediator between two groups, the faculty and the student body. You can easily see the necessity and wisdom of having such a group. Mediator! Today that is an interesting word. The Western world had almost forgotten the need of such until recent years of difficulties and differ¬ ences. Now in these days of distress “Mediation Boards” are doing a great work. In mission fields “mediators” are a part of both missionary and heathen life. For example, when a missionary pays wages to a native worker he pays through a mediator, then if a mistake is made, the mediator, not the missionary is responsible. The Old Testament is filled with illustrations of mediation. Priests, prophets, sacrifices, all speak of the need of mediation between God and man. The New Testament plainly states, “ There is One Mediator between God and man, the man Christ Jesus.” Again Jesus said, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” If in ordinary life, you can see the need of mediation boards, and in Bible School life you can see the need of a Student Council, can you not also see your need of a Mediator with God? The Only Mediator, as already stated is Jesus Christ. To know Him is to know life, t o know Him is Salvation. He alone can iron out” the diffi¬ culties, and problems of life. Have you invited Him to be your Mediator? Your Saviour?
