Each year Rev. Frank J. Kosick, pastor of the Calgary Full Gos¬ pel Church, comes for a brief visit. This is always a time of inspira¬ tion and blessing. This year, once agsiin, Bro. Kosick’s teaching on Prayer and the Gifts of the Holy Spirit was greatly appreciated by the students. His spirit-filled ministry in our devotional times was a great blessing as we saw and heard the operation of the very things he taught. Rev. Frank J. Kosick Calgary, Alberta. Rev. Arthur E.

Mr. J. Ronald Burnside Eston, Saskatchewan. From earliest times music has been a part of true worship for it is a means of giving vent to the soul’s de¬ votion. I am thankful for the musical talents which the Lord has given to me. To the best of my ability I am endeavouring to transmit to the students something of what I have learned in not only the technical points but also the spirit of music. It is my hope that they in turn will use what they have learned to lead others into the knowledge of Christ. It is my conviction that in so doing the Word of God shall be honored. In I Chron¬ icles 25:7 we read that Heman’s family and others were “instructed in the songs of the Lord” and also on in¬ struments. For what purpose? “For the service of the House of God.” Rev. Wilbert E. Crowder Eston, Saskatchewan. All God’s people are called to be labourers in the harvest field. The position as business manager differs not from any other call of service. I recognize I am not my own, but belong to God. In order for me to bring any praise to God for any position I hold, all service I render must be by the enablement of the Holy Spirit. So we being many are one body in Christ. Let us wait on our ministering to do it as of the ability that God giveth. Providing things honest in the sight of all men is a field of service that can truly be used for the salva¬ tion of souls. To this I dedicate myself with the full realization that it is not by might nor by power but by His Spirit. Mrs. J. Donald Thunberg Eston, Saskatchewan. In Matthew 18:14 Jesus plainly stated, “It is not the will of your Father which is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish.” God made this schip- ture a living reality when He called me to the life-time service in working with children and young people. Sunday School, Daily Vacation Bible School and Children’s Camps play a vital part in the lives of our children today. My basic aim as a children’s worker, is to reach them, teach them and use them for Christ. If we don’t USE them as children, we’re bound to LOSE them as teenagers. According to Matthew 18:5, children ARE important. Jesus said, “Whoso shall receive one such little child in My Name receiveth Me.” God has shown me the POTENTIAL POWER UN¬ LIMITED in the vision and stamina of our youth. Ecclesiastics 12:1 proclaims that people are to be reach¬ ed and held in the days of their youth before the evil days come upon them and the years draw nigh when they will have no pleasure in the things of God. WHEN CHRISTIANS CEASE TO STUDY THEY CEASE TO GROW. CD

Eston, Saskatchewan. Eston, Saskatchewan. One of my favorite verses is Psalm 37:5, “Com¬ mit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in him, and he shall bring it to pass.” It is wonderful to be able to commit my way unto the Lord knowing that He knows what is best for me. It is my desire that my way will always be com¬ mitted to the Lord and that I may serve Him in whatever way He wills. The knowledge of God’s love and grace is the greatest blessing of my life. Thus I count it a privi¬ lege to have a place ' of service in Bible school. In daily duties as assistant cook the presence and help of the Holy Spirit can be very real. My aim is to know the will of God in my life, and as a faithful steward do all my work as unto Him. “And whatso¬ ever ye do in word and deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.” Colossians 3:17. HAVE YOUR TOOLS READY AND GOD WILL FIND YOU WORK. CD
