Class President John Franson, North Surrey, B.C. John’s testimony is ever of the goodness of the Lord. During the last three winters at Bible School he has led a consistent Christian life, always keeping in mind that time spent in Eston is preparation for a future life in service. His activities? They are many — he’s leader of Brock Happy Hour Club, head of the yearbook sales committee, African prayer band leader, and third-year class president. Recesses are spent playing a quickie game of ping pong with his pal, Dave. F.G.B.I. will miss the quiet, steadying influence of the B.C. boy. If you should keep track of Betty for Just one day, you’d likely conclude that she ' .omplishes everything at a dead run! Little Miss Energy Plus, she claims her pet :ve is “Slowpokes.” Betty keeps in close fellowship with Christ and has a burden to souls saved and gospel works grow. Always cheerful and even-tempered, it seems you t can’t get her angry. Once she has decided upon a plan of action, there’s just no pping her. Her pretty, talkative eyes reveal volumes to those who know her best, i’re proud that Betty’s an Evangelizerl Betty Gammie, Melfort, Sask.

You’ll never find her idle for the smallest moment—the result of this energetic spirit is success in all that she does. Ellen has devoted many summers to D.V.B.S. and camp work, gaining rich experience which will profit her well in the future. Her musical talent and leadership qualities we know, she will use well for the Lord. Ellen Christianson, Veteran, Alta. The Lord has given Lionel a colossal resounding voice, which he uses mainly for iking melody and for holding the fascinated Happy Hour audiences at Eatonia. rigued by the great out-of-doors, Lionel loves to go hunting or adventuring for you see, s a woodsman at heart. Faithfully each Sunday he preaches the Word at Brock. He n’t be satisfied unless he is in the Lord’s work, he declares. While his convictions are adfast, his outlook on life is easy going and he’s never worried or down-hearted. We e Lionel most when he raises one eyebrow and says, “Lord bless you, sister!” Lionel Batke, Vancouver, B.C. It is ours to obey His commands, not to direct His counsels. 15

WHAT IS YOUR LIFE? “It is even a vapour that appeareth for a little tin : and then vanisheth away. James 4:14. Our lives are likened to a building in I Corinthii s chapter three. First, we need to lay the foundati “For other foundation can no man lay than that is k which is Jesus Christ.” I Corinthians 3:11. We ml a firm, sure foundation upon which we can build r, c lives, and God has graciously provided one for us. W g we put our faith and trust in Christ, we can sty building for eternity. a Each moment of each day that we live on to l earth, we are building. The way we live and what r ( do determine the kind of material our houses will 1 made of. It may be gold, silver, precious stones or wo hay and stubble. At the end of this life, our build will be tried by fire to determine our rewards for things done in this body. In order to build a stalwart building, we need “redeem the time, for the days are evil.” Ephesians 5 Time is redeemed when we carefully embrace and impo all the occasions and opportunities granted to us too used for the glory of God. Let us not allow tk opportunities to be stolen from us by the cares a thoughts about this world. The coming of the Lord very near. We may not have much time left in wk to build. Let us double our diligence and make our It count for eternity. Remember, how we use today del mines how tomorrow will use us V will use us. The task ahead of us is never greater than the power behind us. 14

Winnipeg, Man. Church History, Old Testament history, any kind of history — G eorge knows at. dates! Gratis this year has been the kind that he likes best — work in the printing George has spent long hours at the press, turning out jobs for the school, faculty, Hour or banquet committee. Whatever would we have done without his proficiencij leader of Indo-Asia Prayer Band, he has constantly presented the needs and encou, prayer for this far-off field. Always ready with a word of testimony, Georges lift be one of service for his Master. Canadianized yet? Not quite, and we hope he never will be for we love Trevor for just being his thoroughly Irish self. Having a burning passion for evangelism, signs, wonders, and miracles, and sound Bible doctrine, Trevor has committed much Scripture to memory. There’s a “certain something” about him that little duffers seem to idolize and he’s been most successful as the leader of our Eatonia Happy Hour Club. Trevor worked at taping his daily radio broadcasts for KARI, and we have all admired his self- sacrificing venture. Being yielded, he’ll be used. Deep-thinking and independent Dave studies and searches the Scriptures for him drawing his own carefully-calculated conclusions. He’s justifiably proud of his missior j| parents and we were honoured to have Bro. and Sis. Matson speak to us the opei i j week of Bible School last October. Being a sports enthusiast, it’s not unusual to find hii iun the ping pong room or out on the rink. The intriguing sights and sounds of foreign p have given Dave a hankering to see the world and experience an occasional adventure. Pert and pretty, our junior homemaker ' s cheerfulness is so bubbly, that others catch it too. Deanna possesses simple faith in Christ and His Word, and desires the realities of a closer walk with Him. Constantly looking on the bright side of things, when troubles come, all you’ll hear her say is, “That’s life!” Talented musically, she plays the accordion but is heard most often harmonizing with Allan. Even though she’s Mrs. Graham this year, Deanna still makes faces when Bro. Marshall uses big words! Stay as sweet as you are! Deanna Graham, Veteran. Alta. 16 Fellowship demands followship.
