THE SCHOOL OUR PRESIDENT HENRY J. HEYDT, Th.D. We thank the Lord for the spiritual vision given by Him to Dr. Henry J. Heydt. This vision was brought into realization with the founding of the Lancaster School of the Bible and School of Theology in 1933. Many are the lives that have been dedicated to the Lord’s service on the mission field, both at home and abroad, through his ministry. Many more have been led into a clearer knowledge of God’s Word through an extensive year round confer¬ ence ministry which he maintains. Dr. Heydt is a graduate of Moravian College and Moravian Theological Seminary. He received his Doctorate Degree in Theology from Burton College and Seminary. Besides his work here at the School and a busy conference schedule, Dr. Heydt also serves in the capacity of special contribu ting editor to the “Christian Victory” magazine. In 1950 the Lord opened up an important work among the Jews of New York City. A weekly Bible class is conducted there by Dr. Heydt at the headquarters of the American Board of Missions to the Jews. We trust that it will please the Lord to continue to bless and strengthen Dr. Heydt in his labors and give him an abiding work here at the School and elsewhere. The Board of Trustees is made up of seven men elected by the Corporation from its members. These men meet monthly to discuss the immediate problems connected with the School. By their loyalty, sac¬ rifice, and spiritual guidance, the School has taken an important place in training young people for Christian service. Paul B. Flory, James R. Landis, Edward G„ Jerchau, Vice-President and Secretary; J. Martin Esben- shade, President; Roy D. Becker, Treasurer; Henry J. Heydt, Lester M. Weaver.

Sharing a portion of the administrative oversight of the School are the Corporation and the Board of Trustees. The Corporation is a group of twenty business and professional men who have a personal inter¬ est in the ministry of the School. These men meet annually to discuss the problems and to share in the blessings of the School. The dean of our School, Brother Wilt, comes to us from Altoona, Pennsylvania. A graduate of Altoona High School class of 1947, he also attended the Altoona Bible Institute. At the completion of his studies here at the Lancaster School of the Bible and School of Theology in 1950, Brother Wilt was appointed to the faculty of this School. A year later with the School growing, he was appointed to his present office of dean. He is also working toward a Bachelor of Arts degree at Franklin and Marshall College. Besides his administrative duties which include the arrangement of schedules, teaching classes, and giving the students personal counsel; Brother Wilt finds time for speaking engagements at vari¬ ous local churches. He also brings the Gospel Message on “The New Life Hour”, a weekly radio broadcast of the Gospel presented by the students of the School. We are grateful to the Lord for the faithful ministry of Brother Wilt, and pray that He will continue to give him the wisdom that comes from above, that he may use it in this the place of His appointment.
