PAUL SEBASTIAN God saved me through faith in Christ when I was a lad of 13 years. I gave my life to Him as a senior in high school, and He has been working His good pleas¬ ure in me ever since “freely giving me all things in Christ.” I received a world vision of the lost while I was in India, Burma and China. God led through col¬ lege and Bible School and said to me, “the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.” MILDRED WISSLER Psalm 71:23. “My lips shall greatly rejoice when I sing unto THEE, and my soul, which THOU hast redeemed.” As a young person listening to the teaching of really being “BORN AGAIN,” I realized that any talents I had belonged completely to HIM. As we look fully in the face of our SAVIOUR and LORD, surely we must want to impart to others thru our teaching the joy flooding our souls, when having been redeemed, we gave back ourselves and talents to HIM. Colossians 3:16. HOWARD A. WHEATLEY It is my earnest desire that my teaching will have the same effect upon the students as the ministry of the Apostle Paul had on those Thessalonians of whom we read that, “they received the Word with all readi¬ ness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.” I want my scholars to be Spirit taught, humble, independent, students of the Word of God, so that when they graduate, they will have a “Thus saith the Lord,” for what they believe and preach. Then I believe they will become useful labourers in God’s great harvest field. PAUL C. WILT My heart is filled with joy because of the salvation of the Lord. He saved me by His grace, keeps me by His power, leads me by Hi..- wisdom, and fills me by His love. I am happy because God has given me the great privilege to teach His Word here at Lancaster School of the Bible. He has entrusted to me the task of train¬ ing lives for His service. I desire above all else that He might fill and use each of you to the praise of His glory. Keep looking up. 13

WILLIAM J. RANDOLPH In studying and ministering I have found two prin¬ ciple lessons to be learned by every student of God’s Word. First of all, he will find that his study will have a more effective application in his ministry if it has first found a personal application in his own life. Secondly, that many snares, heartaches can be spared the servant of God, if his problems and con¬ troversies are approached in the light of God’s OVERALL purpose in the whole body of Christ and that “He worketh all things ... to the end that we should be unto the praise of His glory.” CHARLES F. PFEIFFER During your Bible School days you have not only learned rich truths from God’s Word, but also you have had your mental and spiritual horizons widened in the realization that there is yet much ground to possess. Do not be content to simply repeat those lessons which you have learned, but rather build on the foundation of the truth in which you have been instructed. As you press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus” re¬ member the divine injunction: “Prove all things: hold fast that which is good.” HARRY C. MARK It has been my aim in teaching to help the student to think creatively and to stimulate his hunger for a greater und erstanding of God’s marvelous revelation; also to increase his comprehension of the sublimity and sacredness of his calling to the Christian ministry. If there is one bit of advice that I might pass on to the students which is more important than any other it is to develop good study habits and to continue these habits all through life. On the tomb of that great his¬ torian John Richard Green is carved the inscription, He died learning. ” RICHARD D. MOHN Where is the man who never to himself has said, “Why am I here? What is my purpose? What is this all about?” Even the most devoted Christian is tempted with these questions at times. The Psalmist answers these for us in a glorious song of praise and thanksgiving. Yes, you and I are here in this confused, mixed up world to bear testimony unto the Lord. Yours is the most glorious calling a man can have; to be a living testimony for Him and to witness for Him among your fellow man. May God bless you and guide you all the days of your life.
