PRESIDENT We do indeed praise the Lord for our beloved Presi¬ dent, Dr. Henry J. Heydt. It is a real joy to be able to say that when he was called by the Lord, from his pastorate into this new field of ministry, he was obe¬ dient to the Lord’s leading. Because of that step many are now in school or have been in school, training for service, who might otherwise not be in the Lord’s work anywhere. Brother Heydt was graduated from Moravian College in 1927 and from Moravian Theological Seminary in 1929. In 1950 he received his Doctorate Degree in Theology from Burton College and Seminary. He has had many conference engagements and has had pastoral experience since 1928. For many years Brother Heydt has been teaching at the York School of the Bible. He is completing his second year as a faculty member of the Jewish Missionary Institute in New York City. He is the author of “The Gospel in Galatians” and has just completed a new book on Jewish evangelism. He is also a special contributing editor to “Christian Victory” magazine. We praise the Lord that He has led Dr. Heydt into these avenues of ministry, and also that He has given him strength to carry on these activities through the years. Dr. and Mrs. Heydt have been a real joy to our hearts and we praise Him for them and for their ministry here. HENRY J. HEYDT, Th.D. Paul C. Wilt, a graduate of the School, has relieved Dr. Heydt of many of his duties pertaining to adminis¬ tration of the School, since his appointment as Dean. We praise the Lord for His choice in filling this much needed place of responsibility. Brother Wilt comes to us from Altoona, Pennsylvania. He is a graduate of the Altoona High School, class of 1947. At the present time he is also working toward a Bachelor of Arts degree at Franklin and Marshall College. The duties of the Dean are many and varied. He has charge of the curriculum arrangement, student schedule difficulties, much of the general correspondence of the School, the chapel speak¬ ers, and many of the details involved in the adminis¬ tration of such a school 11 PAUL C.

Becker, Treasurer. The administrative oversight of the School is shared by the Corporation and the Board of Trustees. The Corporation is composed of twenty business and professional men who are inter¬ ested in the ministry of the School. Some of these men are from the Lancaster area; others live in various sections of the state. These men meet at least once a year to discuss the prob¬ lems and to share in the blessings of the School. The Board of Trustees is more directly concerned with the administration of the School. The Board consists of seven men elected by the Corporation from its members. These men meet monthly to pray and to work for the blessing of the School. We owe a debt of gratitude to these men who unselfishly give their time to this important ministry. They carry much of the admin¬ istrative burden in order that the School might continue to train young people for the service of Christ. FIRST ROW: J. Martin Esbenshade, Henry J.

HENRY J. HEYDT President and Founder Jewish Evangelism, Interpretation, Systematic Theology, Bible Doctrine, Greek II, Logic, Bible Introduction, Christian Education, First Aid. Faculty member since 1933. “. . . Fervent in spirit; serving the Lord.” Founder and President of the school, Brother Heydt has endeared himself to the many students whose privilege it was to sit under his teaching. Chief among those qualities which we esteem him for, is his deep devotion to the Lord Jesus Christ and his uncompromising stand for the word of God, and his desire that his students come to know and understand the truth-as it is in Christ Jesus. MARGARET E. HEYDT Registrar and Secretary Christian Etiquette. Faculty member since 1946. We praise the Lord for Mrs. Heydt who has been a real blessing to all of us. Hers has been an example of a surrendered life through which the beauty of the Lord Jesus radiates. We feel that two verses in Proverbs describe her best. Proverbs 31:21, 26 - “A worthy woman who can find? For her price is far above rubies.” “She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and the law of kindness is in her tongue.” O. M. KRAYBILL Interpretation, Church History, Ancient History, Pastoral Theology, New Testament Synthesis. Faculty member since 1939. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge.” We rejoice in the ministry of this faithful servant of the Lord who has from the Scriptures taught us the fear of the Lord. It is with both profit and joy that we remember the hours spent in his classes. Brother Kraybill has been a pastor since 1912 and has been a member of our faculty since 1939. 12
