JAMES L. CLARK Anniston, Alabama School of the Bible I Peter 3:15 “But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear. ’ I have found that the Christian life can be real every day, practical in labor, profitable to His glory, a blessing to others, and joy to one’s own heart. By proving this in my life I will be able to win others to Him. C L DOROTHY DUGAN Chester, Pennsylvania School of Theology I received the Lord Jesus Christ as my personal Saviour at the age of nine. Yet not until ten years later did I ask Him to become Lord of my life. Since then 1 have found Him to be the One who can satisfy my every need. My heart’s desire is that I “might walk worthily of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God.” Col. 1:10 JOHN Z. FRY Ephrata, Pennsylvania School of Theology Psalm 37:23, 24. “A man’s goings are estab¬ lished of Jehovah; and he delighteth in his way. Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down; For Jehovah upholdeth him with his hand.” Were it not for the sustaining hand of our God, I could not have come to this point in my Christian life. I praise Him for His faithfulness and guidance and His supply of strength during these years at L.S.B. 18

O ' ROBERT G. ACKER Kirkwood, Pennsylvania • )a i School of the Bible kAt. T I thank God that nineteen years ago He saved fr me. One Sunday afternoon while in my own home . listening to Rev. Percy Crawford over the radio, VjC I found Christ as my own personal Saviour. I praise God that since that time I have found real joy and peace in serving Him. He kept me through World War 11 that 1 might serve Him. It has been a real joy to be in full time service these last seven years. GRACE ASPER Lock Haven, Pennsylvania School of the Bible “I love the Lord because He heareth my voice and my supplications” Psalm 116:1. He has been made a precious living reality to me, and my desire is that l might be faithful to Him wherever He leads. Of the rich and wonderful promises in His Word, 1 have claimed Isa. 43:13 R. V. “. . .. Yea, since the day was, I am He; and there is none that can deliver out of my hand: 1 will work and who can hinder it? EDWIN BERNHARDT Lancaster, Pennsylvania School of Theology Ephesians 2:8,9. “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not of works, that no man should glory.” It was the contents of these two verses that showed me clearly the impossibility of being saved by my good works as I had been led to believe. What a joy it was to discover that what I could not do, had already been done for me. 17

ERMA GOOD Elizabethtown, Pennsylvania School of the Bible God saved me when a child but it was not until in my late “teens” that I realized that God wanted to be not only Saviour but also Lord of my life. 1 thank the Lord for leading me to Bible School and for the many spiritual lessons learned here at school. “Thou wilt show me the path of life: In thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.” Psalm 16:11 WARREN W. HELDER Wrightsville, Pennsylvania School of the Bible I praise the Lord for my salvation which I have by virtue of His precious shed blood at Calvary. I was converted at the age of seventeen when 1 re¬ pented of my sins and took Christ as my personal Saviour. I have never been sorry for making this important decision. The Lord has met all of my needs and has given me the privilege of ministering His Word. UsaA UsTO W. ROBERT M. HOPKINS Lansdowne, Pennsylvania School of Theology 1 was brought to a saving knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ mainly through the testimony of my brother. The remarkable change in his life, and his personal witnessing to me, led me to accept Jesus Christ as my Saviour. The Lord has led in a marvelous way since then, and I am grateful to Him for enabling me to complete my training here at school. 19
