OUR CLASS ADVISOR OUR CLASS The Reverend William J. Randolph Pastor of Lancaster Gospel Center Heb. 13:17 . .For they watch in behalf of your souls. . . ” In our past three years at school, Brother Randolph has graciously and willingly given us wisdom and council from God’s Word. We are in¬ deed grateful for the time he has given us and the love he has had for us. His ministry at the Lan¬ caster Gospel Center has been a real source of blessing and inspiration each Lord’s Day. Truly we praise the Lord for this faithful brother who we love and trust in the faith. BETTY LOU BARR Pine Grove, West Virginia School of the Bible 1 praise the Lord for a consecrated couple who had a desire to see young people won to the Lord. It was through a club organized for the purpose of learning the Word of God that I came to know the Living Word. My prayer is to be a living epistle of Him. James 1:22. 3 aSiyO VERNON “JOHNNY” BERRY Madison, Virginia School of the Bible I thank the Lord that seven years ago He saved me. One Sunday morning 1 was listening to Charles E. Fuller over the radio and I ac¬ cepted Christ as my personal Saviour. I have had the “peace of God” in my heart since then. My desire now is to serve Him wherever He leads. 17

THE SENIOR CLASS The class of 1952 met for the first time in the fall of 1949. The class which was not very large, was made up of students who had just been graduated from high school, others who had come from other Bible Schools and colleges, and still others who had been away from school for a long time, but who now realized the call of God to study His Word. The Lord blessed us during that first year, and although there were hard places, many of us realized for the first time that God does lead His children if they are willing to pay the price that it costs to follow Him. When we met together again in the fall of 1950, we found that all of the students had returned. It was again a profitable year to many of the students; many of us had precious times in our Bible clubs and in our various ministries for the Lord. He gave us many oppor¬ tunities to serve Him in music and in giving forth the Word. As the days passed by, we came to see more and more that truly our Lord was leading us, and it was only as we followed His leading that we could have victory in our lives. As we met together in the fall of 1951, we discovered that our class had grown, Although there were a few who had not returned, there were those who had joined our class who had remained in school to take a fourth year of study. The year passed by quickly; again we had our times of testing as well as our times of spiritual blessing. This, we realized, was our most important year, and we tried to learn well and faithfully the lessons which the Lord wanted to teach us. As the time of graduation approached, many of us did not know what the Lord had for us in the future; but one thing we were sure of, and for this we praised Him, that He would be leading us all the way. CLASS OFFICERS Stuart Lease, President; Charles Warfield, Vice-President; Betty Mae Gerbrick, Secretary; Thomas Farmer, Treasurer. 16

BETTY MAE GERBRICK York, Pennsylvania School of Theology A most precious truth to me is the faithfulness of my Lord. Truly He has never forsaken nor failed me. It is wonderful to know that as 1 commit myself to Him, He will bless and use me for His glory. My prayer is that He might increase, but that I might decrease. Psalm 37:4,5. . - RAYMOND E. HICKS Northeast, Pennsylvania School of Theology I would like to take this opportunity to tell you that the Lord is truly One who sticketh closer than a brother in times of trial and testing as well as joy and gladness. I praise Him for His faithfulness, guid¬ ance and protection during my training. He has made Matt. 6:33 very real to me. EDWIN BERNHARDT Lancaster, Pennsylvania School of Theology Eph. 2:8,9 “For by grace have ye been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God, not of works, that no man should glory.” Not knowing these Scriptures, I was concerned as to how I could evade the fire of hell and gain entrance into heaven. Praise God for Salvation through Jesus THOMAS E. FARMER Richmond, Virgmia School of Theology He leadeth me! 0 blessed thought! I praise God for One who goes before us and prepares the way. These past years He has led me into many precious ex¬ periences while here at school, and I have the blessed promis e that He will continue to lead me as I commit my way unto Him. Prov. 3:5, 6.
