This is -a strange paradox, but it is a fact that all must agree to. The seed that is placed into the soil is intended to sprout, come forth as a tiny stalk, and .grow into full beauty and maturity. But there can no life come forth unless there is death first. The seed must die, and through death comes a new life., As with the temporal and physical, so with the spiritual. Jesus said, Wwhosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel's the same shall save it.N The Apostle Paul also teaches this basic truth in Rom. 6, and 2 Cor. 4:lO,llg 7:5. Every normal human being desires to live to the fullest ex- tent possibleg but it is a sad fact that many folks do not want to live by the death route. Even many Christian pro- fessors do not like to hear anything about this great Biblical truth. But Jesus said it is the only way to enter into life. , In order to experience 'this new, happy, full life, a three-fold vision is neoessary.This fact is vividly portray- ed in Isaiah's vision, Isa. 6. First, Isaiah saw Jehovah en- throned amidst splendor and gloryg and this wonderful vision prepared him for the steps that followed. This too, is the first requisite for us in losing self---beholding by faith- the glory of the crucified, risen,ascended and exalted Lord. After this Isaiah saw himself, and what a sight he saw! All .....4i,---,... V .....-.i .M 1 I 53 I Q, i, X. N. r I 4 i W N N 1 1 unworthiness, ugliness and sinfulness of his unrighteous 'character flashed before him as he stood in the presence of the great King. His response to this sight was commendable, for he yielded to the burning, cleansing fire direct from the altar, and was cleansed. This then is the only way by which self is lostf--yielding to the oleansing,refining fire of the Holy Spirit. It is implied too, one must yield to the crucifying experience of the old man. The third part of Isaiah's vision was a needy, spiritually blind people. And as the call came from the Throne for volunteers,he was ready to serve, saying, UHere an I, send me.u Surely the world in which we live, but of which We are not a part, is in des- perate need of the Gospel message. And the call of the King is still ringing out to you and me, NWhom shall I send, and who will go for us?N And so, may we with Isaiah,behold the three-fold vision- Jehovah, in His holinessg our unworthinessg the needyiworld And in the light of this vision say with the Foet. Oh, the bitter pain and sorrow That a time could ever be, When I proudly said to Jesus ' Unll of self, and none of Thee.n Yet He found meg I beheld Him Bleeding on th'accursed tree, And my wistful heart said faintly,' NSome of self, and some of Thee.U Day by day His tender mercy ' Healing, helping, full and free, Brought me lower, while I whispered WLess of self, and more of Thee.H Higher than the highest heavens, Deeper than the deepest sea, Lord, Thy love at last has conquered NNone of self, and all of Thee.N Theodore Monrod 'fff-z ' A:--M-ww-fn-umgwa.- ,,,.-., , EnI3A.I-TORIAL STAFF mi-.tOrO00t'950OVQU UD B GQQGDQQUQEHQSKH AS'SiS433Z1'1 i3 Oro Q a o fa- e ar o va v fo UDQYL 3.5116 Associate Editor,ou0U,,..,,,,Jenes M Lien Abram Siemens Vesta Miller 5 0 0 0 0 0 o GTHGH Misbior Barbara Hheriy Ethel Thomas SGGTGTQTY... . ,,.Ste11a Geiser Artists- ...s,E1Wood Cable PhOtOgTHph9TQ-- . 0.,..aE1Wood Cable Stella Geiser BuSineSS Manager... ..Ivan Beaohy Jhon Thomas Faculty Advieor...n.. -...,..Wi1hur Yoder W U11 f1f!f!!T1fTTTf U1fN1'f'7T'YT1f'!P1I H H'YTY1lf'fYTfT1TfYf1'?

Il ll H ll ll II H NY! ll ll H UI N H Il N N N Mennonites in America --Warren Metzler In studying Mennonites in Amer- ica, we have gone partically into their origin in Europe. From there we proceeded into early settlements in America, finding out the first one was in New York.The first permanent settlement was in Germantown, Pa. From there we progressed into the different divisions of the Mennonite church, and the whys and wherefores of these schisms. We can profit from this study inasmuch as we learn from the mistakes of our fore- bears. Instead of being fana- tical, over-zealous, and swayed Nwith every wind of doctrineng we can instead, press on toward the mark of the high calling in Christ Jesus, being careful that we weigh each decision carefully according to the Word of God. Public Speaking --Harry Y. Shetler First why do we speak? To ex- press our feeling or ideas. One must akso have a purpose or aim in mind. We speak to entertain, inform, convince,impress,and to secure action. There are three considerations in' a directed speech, the speaker,the speech, and the audience. The elements of delivering a speech are clearness, earnestness, elimin- ating self' consciousness, .and experience. Be yourself and have a desire to get it across. Neh. 828, USO they read in the book in the lawci'God distinct- ly, and gave the sense, and cause them to understand 'the reading. We should make 'our subjects original, and the sim- pler we can make our speech the better our audience will get what we have to say. Missions--Wilbur Yoder We studied' Latin America Mission fields,which are Pureto Rico, land in south Americal Chaco, Argentina, Hondruas. We Learned how they started, about the life of the people, and what we can do for these people who arei11great need of Christ. If we are not capable to go as Missionaries, we can give by a Missionary, a Child, Evanglist, or an Orphan. Let supporting Missionary Bible Woman us pray and pay our part. Holy Spirit--Paul Histand The Holy Spirit is 'the Third Person of the Trinity,the Chief Executor of the Godhead. This is a fundamental Doctrine of the Scriptures. He is the Com- forter whom Christ said He would send into the world. His mission to the world is to con- vict it of Hsin, righteousness, and judgement,N To the believer he is the Comforterg the one who leads us into all Truth and reveals to us the things of Christ, bearing witness to the spiritual adeptionof'believers, and gives power 'to carry the Gospel to the uttermost parts of the earth, Acts l:8. Amos,Obadiah,Jonah,l,2 Peter --Wilbur Yoder This is a big study by a little man, Wilbur Yoder, but he has proved himself equal to the task. We have learned to appre- ciate these minor prophets in a practical way. Though at times we Ninevehites wonder where our Prophet is to tellutsthe story, yet he arrives before the judg- ment is effected and makes up lost time at recess. Thanks, Bro. Yoder for your clear, straight forward.teaching,t0 us ini Class: 1 , 4 1 - I 1 Al. 1 I . ,.. .. , , .lf r , ,, .u,.' X , , i . 4 4 r smtp 1 - ' 1 J. J ' V 's . , -L. 1 .4 wi.- pc, .,, J n.

It was been called the primary book on the doctrine of Salvation. The theme of the 'book is Justifica- tion by Faith. 'Its key verses are 1:16 and 5:l., All through the book we see' God's method of making man good. We see all men under condemnation, because of sin, but through accepting the atoning work of Calvary, become new creatures, justified by faith, and sanctified for His practical -admoni- in this protion of service,.Much tion is given the Word to guide us, that we may live holy and acceptable lives unto God. Bible Survey l --Wilbur Yoder In Bible Survey we make not a close' analytical study of'the Bible, but rather a survey, a birds-eye view, which looks at the Bible as a whole. Bible Survey l,covers the first seven- teen books of the Bible. Genises to Esther, Although we deviated from the subject at times the class was well worth the while. The Tabernacle ' --Harry Y. Shetler About thirtyfive 'hundred years ago, on Mt. Sinai, God spoke to Moses and commanded him to build the Tabernacle, a place where God could meet His people. We are confident that this course is a very vital study, for the Tabernacle pre-figured Christ, the Church, and the be- liever, Also in the book of He- brews we read of the Tabernacle asampattern of Heavenly things, a shadowcf'good things to come, and a figure of the true. In studying these types and fig- ures of the Tabernacle the plan of salvation is made others in a more simple and understanding way the treasures of the Word. Music Class --Elam Glick that we as christ- 'The experience ians have can well be-described by the songs class. Before Christ is but we sang in the we are Christians NThe Stranger of Galeleen. When we accept Him as our Saviour He cleanses us and brings us into an experiance of WO Morn Of Beauty.N When we learn to know Him better we are willing to lLet me Lose Myself and Find It Lord in Thee,N as NDivine Praisesn flows from our lips. Christian Evidences Millen ' In Christian Evidences class, we evidences of the of a Christian. Our --James find Biblical requirements study takes us from the creation to John's vision on the Isle of Patmos to show us that the pur- pose of the Bible is to unford the Plan of Redemption. fGod!s purpose in creating man was to have some one to glorify Him. Adam and Eve fell, but H6 immed-' iately had a plan to redeem them. In accepting this plan there are requirements to be met. In the six weeks here at Bible School, we have seen how we should also share this great joy with others Christian Principles -AElam Glick A principle is an unchangable truth, A doctrine is the teach- ing of the principle, The Scripture is, God's revelation to man.' The theme of the Scrip- unto ture is, being seperated God and seperated from the world. Seperation includes every of life. This study has phase been profitable and has helped me to Life appreciate the 'Christian in a clearer way, and my desire is to appropriate these things more fully to my life. l w 1 , H 12 'S 1 I 1 x i 4 1 I i I 1 1 I 3 I 1 4 2 4 v 3 5 i i f i 5 1 4 E 'Q Q r f , 1 6 ,i 3 ,Q hi . 17' .af 11 1 , V 5,0 First Picture Page Second Picture Page Cooks Faculty Iowains a Nancy John Edrei Music Class J.B.S.

I can truly say this Bible School is a wonderful place to come to recieve more knew- ledge of our Great God. I appreciate what the teachers have done for me and also want to thank all those who made this school possible. I want to be looking, waiting trusting, and working to do my best to fill my place and be a true saint at His coming. It truely is a joy to live a life in service of love for the One who gave His precious life for me. --Stella Geiser WLet the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, my strength, and my redeemer.n Psa. 19:14 This is my prayer that I may speak and think things that are pleasing to God, I am very thinkful I was able to attend J.BQS.wh1dh has meant much to me.

Jan. 2nd the J.B.S. campus aga.in begins to show signs of life, as students come from Wthe four cornersn of the earth. During the first several hours it didn't look as though there would be very many people coming but by eveningthe tables turned. In spite of the fact that the group was small, every- body seemd a bit bashful. The literary program on Friday took care of that. We really learned how to do things. After three days of school, everyone relaxed for the weekend. At our first social, the joke was on Don who thought he was walking on eggs, which turned out to be crackers. Why would Harley be thinking of ways to announce an engagement , By the way, ask Him why he came to J.B.S. Talk about nscatter brainsW,one day'Uilbur forgot that he was to be in Uarren's class, so he sat in James Millen's class for about fifteen minutes,then hurriedly excused him- self. Can you imagine Barbara, Emma and Nancy accompaning three Lancaster County ministers on a sight-seeing trip to Johnstown ? Why would Abram.be sleepy after spending the weekend at John Edrei's home ? You remember how Barbara walked around with 'a picture of a man on her back at the social at Don's home. What could 999 ' ' ' it mean ... Just a hint,...,Don't try to follow some one when Clarence is giving directions where to go. He may be oc- cupied. Just ask Elam if you don't believe it.

We decided Barbara shou1dn't be too hard on her 'boy- friend for driving through red lights because WLove is Blind' Talking about getting off the subject in classes, Abram said, WWe only get out among the branches.' Wilbur replied 'Yes, but sometimes me fall off too.' Who is that girl that is seen more than heard? Who could it be but Ethel? One faculty member suggested that the reason Barbara wanted to get to t the study of Peter was because sheknew someone by that name. Gould it be? No! Why would Wilbur remind Louise of a naughty puppy? Grace surely was a help-meet to Abram in typing. ', Talk about the impossible. Abram tried to send a letter Without a stamp. Or maybe he was too interested in the person he was sending it to, to remember the stamp. What is that queer sign on post five? Oh its only the Social committee soliciting engagement announcements, Can you imagine Wilbur worrying about getting fat? At any rate he eats enough. While filling out her chart on'Allocating the Ministers Time,n one girl remarked, nL8t'S see, on Monday morning he gets up at six o'clock and stays up all Week.' Just imagine, the ministers were talking about posting bids for the job of marrying J.B.S. students. Barbara, I would suggest that you be sure to get a min- ister to marry you that does not studder too badly. Stella surely had to take a lot of Wrazingn about being So short, but we envtd her when we went to visit the C081 mine one day. February 4 will be a day long remembered by J.B.S. stu- dente. It was a day that we were looking forward tog beeauee the Social committee had announced a Wspecial feature' for the social that evening. The time, eight o'clock, fiee11Y arrived and we gathered in the social room. Due to some com- plaints, another feature proceeded the special features T515 was a court trial. James complained that he had a hgad ache as the result of too much noise the night before, Whieh he said caused him to lose sleep. HB was pleading for justice.. After stating his complaint he plead guilty. BY appointment: Harry served as judge, and Elam and Ezra Paul as attorneYS- The defendant was Don. After hearing the plaintiff, defend- ant, and witnesses on both sides, Judge Harry passed a rhard sentence: Since there was lack of evidence on the Daft jffff he defendant was declared 'not guiltyn, and the plaintiil mas ordered to pay the costs-eat a quart of ice cream. The case was then dismissed. After some minor enterta1nment,we approached the Wspec- lal featured.

We visited in Canada for a few weeks, then went to Johnstown, Pa. we were wondering whether Warren Metzler was still on the scene there and of course, he is pastor of several Mennonite Churches in the city. Warren is also a writer of booksg one of.his latest editions is called WThe White Collared Preacher.9 It sounds good, better buy one. From there we went to the Stahl Church and found out it is still standing after such hard use by J,B.S. students. While we were in the nhollown we went to see John Thomas, we found in very good spirits.He is writing a book on J.B.S. Memoirs. While we were there we saw Melvin Nussbaum. He and his sons started up a Swiss cheese factory and they are making out all right. We stopped to see Turie and Clarence and how they are getting along. It is no longer Alwine's little country store-but it has been enlarg- ed to a large self-service Super Market. ' Then we decided to go see .I. F. Kaufman, remember back in 1952 when he was our janitor 1 Well, he is making furniture. HIFU has established the Soap Hollow Furniture Factory. We watched him awhile, then we went to see Grace Mishler, but we found out her name wasn't Mishler anymore but was changed, we inquired about her, and her mother told us she is now a farmer's wife. We decided to go and see how John Edrei Lehman is getting along. He is still farming. He built two new barns and is milking 180 cows. We stayed there for an afternoon and got refreshed. We had some chocolate mild. From there we went to see Don and Loise. They are in the chicken and dairy business.They invited us in for chick- en, and waffles. We stayed there over night, then we went to Springs, Pa. where we met Ivan Beachy. Ivan is now principal of the Springs Parochial School. Nancy Swartzentruber and her husband are in the butchering business. From there we went home, and to our surprise, there was a very nice letter from James Millen, we had forgotten all about him. He is pastor and evangelist, and is writing books on UHow To Con- duct Your Literary.n i Well I must close and get to bed. It is very good to be home again, but we enjoyed the trip very much.
