Valedictorian Desperate Days Demand Desperate Actions From Desperate Men Because of this fact, wa the graduating class of 1960 are about to launch out into the front lines of the battle. Three years ago, we chose as our class name, the “Torch- bearers.” This immediately brings to our minds the story of another group of Torchbearers. These men also lived in desperate days. You can read about them in Judges six and seven. Gcd sent Gideon to lead them in battle. God also sent His Son to the world to save us so that we could carry the glorious message of salvation to others. In Bible School we have been getting our instructions for battle. In our first term we learned that we were debtors to those around us. But just knowing this fact was not enough. We had to dedicate ourselves to the job of paying the debt. Of the 32,000 men who answered Gideon’s call, only 10,000 were willing to dedicate themselves to the task which lay ahead. Gideon also needed disciplined men. Of his army of 10,000 dedicated men only 300 were willing to discipline their lives. I trust that these days in Bible School have made us dedicated and disciplined men and women. We have been taught to take on the whole armour of God. You will notice there is no armour for our back. Therefore, we must go for¬ ward, no matter what tha cost. Before Gideon sent his men to battle, he fed them. How thankful we are for our faithful faculty who have fed us sound doctrine. The word of God and the anointing of the Holy Spirit have given us a balanced diet which will sustain us through the thick of the battle. God promised Gideon deliverance from the hand of the Midianites even before the battle had begun. II Corinthians 1:10 tells us that we, too, have been delivered from the hand of th enemy. Remember, one man with God is a majority. As the hour for attack drew near, Gideon gave each man a torch hidden in a pitcher and a trumpet. How strange that they did not carry regular instruments oi war. However, let us remember that, “The weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds.” II Corinthians 10:4. God has given us the power of the Holy Spirit to combat the powers of evil. At the last moment Gideon gave his men one final word of instruction. Ha said, “Look on me and do likewise.” As the Torchbearers of 1960 we must keep our eyes upon our leader, the Lord Jesus Christ. We must be devoted to him. At a given signal the men blew their trumpets and with a shout they broke the vessels and let the light shine forth. What a victory God gave Israel that night! Thesa men had been determined to win. Fellow Grads, we are debtors. Let us determine to be dedicated, disciplined and devoted so we can spread the doctrine of deliverance in these desperate days. Break your vessel and GO, “holding forth the word of life” as you burn out for God. T IT IS NOT WHAT WE KNOW, BUT WHAT WE SOW THAT DOES THE GOOD.

Uoxchbeaxexi Class President Vice-President Glen A. Paulson, Eston, Sask. The Bible has become a Living Book since I have attended Bible School. My testimony and desire in life is well expressed in Col. 1:10, “That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God.” I am truly thankful that the Lord Jesus not only saved me, but also keeps me every day. It is in Him alone, that I find the answer to the deepest longings of my heart. What a wonderful Saviour and Friend Jesus is! “...Christ is all and in all.” Col. 3:11. Maidra D. Spicer, Tilney, Sask. t WHEN GOD HAS A GIGANTIC TASK TO PERFORM, FAITH GETS THE CONTRACT. 17 T
