Reverend Elwood L. McRae, Pastor of the Calgary Full Gospel Church, spent a week at F.G.B.I. in February. The Third Year students benefited from his classes concerning Practical Aspects and Common Problems of the Ministry. To the First and Second Year students he taught the Book of Jude. Brother McRae’s delight in the Word and his sincere worship, evidence his joyous and genuine Christianity. Reverend Arthur E. Sheppard, Pastor of Regina Apostolic Church, visited the school again this spring. His inspirational teaching and exhortation caused many of the students to experience an increased desire to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ. Brother Sheppard presents the Word of God as the light and life which generates true faith and dedicated Christian service. Reverend Irvin W. Ellis, editor of the “End Times’ Messenger,” instructed the students of F.G.B.I. in Christian Journalism again this spring. His clear cut methods of how to write, his example of using his talent to write, and his sincere, enthusiastic, “Write!” are designed to inspire students, to use their writing ability as a means of spreading the good news of salvation. Each year Rev. Frank J. Kosick, now pastor of the Zion Apostolic Church, Win¬ nipeg, comes for a brief visit. This year, however, due to his new pastorate he found it impossible to come. We missed his teaching on Prayer and the Gifts of the Holy Spirit this year at F.G.B.I. We trust he is experiencing God’s richest blessing upon his new field of ministry. 10 Where God leads, He will light us.

■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■ Man today is perplexed, troubled, and even at the point of despair as he looks out upon a world of turmoil and distress. God’s people should not be in this state of perplexity because Christ redeemed them and gave them peace. “My peace I give unto you.” John 14:27. Now, are we so great that we can deny God’s ability to give peace? I do not think so, God has always been greater than the world chaos. “Greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world.” John 4:4. Some may ask, “What about the future?” The answer is faith. When I read my Bible in Hebrews 11:33, “Who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions, quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weak¬ ness were made strong, waxed valiant in fight, turned to flight the enemies of the aliens,” my soul cries out, “Hallelujah!’’Here is the God of FAITH —PAST, PRESENT and FUTURE. Mr. J. Ronald Burnside Mrs. Edith A. Dodds B.Sc. The teaching of English is basic to the entire educational program. As a teacher of English I am concerned with the implanting of facts and skills; I am dedicated to the instilling of appreciation. All the aspects of language are with one always. English is essential for every Christian so that he may better understand that which he reads; that he may more effectively tell others about Jesus Christ; that the beauty of the message of the Scripture may thrill his soul as he studies the Word. “That I may know Him and the power of His resurrection . . .” Philippians 3:16, was Paul’s prayer. May each one seek to know its liber¬ ating power in mind and heart and life. “Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for Him . . .” Psalm 37:7. In this age of speed; in this the “Space Age” find stillness in Him. In stillness we can hear eternity; we hear God the Eternal One speak. “Seek the Lord and His strength: seek His face evermore.” Psalm 105:4. Judbl l a A church without a Sunday ;school is DOOMED; but a church with a Sunday school is DOOMED to grow. The truth of this phrase is seen in John 21:15 when Jesus showed the importance of the child in the church by telling Peter to feed His lambs. My heart has been burdened primarily in reaching lost children for Christ. In Matthew 18:14 it says, “It is not the will of your Father which is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish.” A secondary aim is to teach them as much of God’s Word as possible. What Christian children need in these perilous days is God’s Word hid in their hearts. Finally, another aim is to use them for Christ. Since there is so much potential in the vision and stamina of our youth, I believe that if we do not use them as children for Christ, wo are bound to lose them as teen¬ agers. By teaching Pedagogy, Child Study, and Sunday School Admin¬ istration at Full Gospel Bible Institute, it is my purpose to instill these aims in the hearts of many Christian workers and so reach a multitude of children for Christ. Rev. Wilbert E. Crowder There is no risk in abandoning ourselves to God. 9

ALEX C. GAMMIE Alex Gammie, an F.G.B.I. graduate of 1961, has been present at school again, this year as a staff member. In addition to managing the school store, he capably fulfills his many duties around the campus, assisting Brother Burnside with maintenance. We appreciate his friendliness and pleasant manner. Alex enjoys his work and is thankful that God has given him the opportunity to serve Him in this way. RUTH MARTIN Feeling this to be God’s will and an opportunity in which she might serve Him, Ruth Martin has been chief cook of F.G.B.I. for the past two years of Bible school. She especially enjoys planning meals and thinking up different ways of preparing food. With Philippians 1:6 as her testimony, Ruth’s prayer is that she might be faithful to the Lord always. ROBERTA LOCKIE Roberta Lockie, from Broadview, Saskatchewan, is a brand new addi¬ tion to our Bible -school staff. She first became interested in F.G.B.I. through Ruth Martin, and since the Lord indicated that it was His will, she too became one of our cooks. Baking is the phase of work that Roberta likes best. She feels, how¬ ever, that the sweet fellowship we have one with another, is the most wonderful thing about being a Bible school cook. God wants a cheerful doer, as well as a cheerful giver. 11
