Che Senior Class Betty McGonigle, Secretary; Donald Pierce, President; Jeanette Heydt, Treasurer; Mil¬ lard Bedwell, Vice President. In looking back over the past years at Bible School, we realize we have much for which to thank and praise the Lord. These three years have been a time of rich blessing and fellowship. The Seniors met as a class for the first time in the fall of 1951. We all had the leading of God to study His Word and the desire “To know Christ and to mak e Christ known. Many opportunities of service opened to us. The students ministered in music, teaching and preaching. There were hard times as well as times when everything went just as we wished. Through these hard times we came to realize that Romans 8:28 was true and that these things were used of God to perfect us for His use. As we came into our last year we praised God for past experiences and blessings and looked for¬ ward to this last year as an especially important one. We have tried to learn faithfully and well the lessons which God had for us. As we travel through the pathways of this life we know that only as our lives are centered in Christ, can we be used of Him. Our future is in His hands. We know that as we commit our way unto Him, He will guide and direct us. Praise His Name! Compliments of: JOHN N. SAUDER AUTO COMPANY Chevrolet - Oldsmobile New Holland, Penna.

MILLARD BEDWELL DONALD BURKHOLDER “My Lord and my God.” It is really wonderful for me to know Jesus Christ as my Lord and my God. I, like Thomas, have had proof that Jesus is my Lord and my God. Since my salvation by grace through faith in the shed blood of Jesus, I have had the ex¬ perience of joy, peace and satisfaction that I knew nothing about. 1 thank God that He, through His great love, sent His Son Jesus Christ to die, that He might be my Lord and my God. I am thankful that God has called me to Bible School to learn more of His Word in preparation for His service. But the greatest calling God has given to me as a Christian is “to be conformed into the image of His Son.” This seems to be a hopeless task as I look at myself. But when I look “unto Him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think,” I know that the “power that worketh in us” is capable even of this. ERMA GOOD I am glad that 1 can say with the Apostle Paul, I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that He is able to keep that which I have committed unto Him against that day.” II Timothy 1:12b. While here at school, the Lord has taken me through many experiences which were all for His glory. The desire of my heart is found in Philippians 3:10, “That I may know Him, and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings being m ade conformable unto His death.” EDNA HARRIS I thank the Lord for being born again and having the Lord Jesus as my Saviour. I was converted at sixteen in a Methodist church which I attended from childhood. As time went on I felt a need in my life. Years later I heard the gospel as I had never heard it be¬ fore, and became filled with the Spirit for service to God. Then He led me to Lancaster School of the Bible where His Word has become precious, and my life is surrendered to His service. Psalms 27:1
