I am thankful to God for the privilege of having a small part in the training of young people who are dedicated to the Lord and desire that men may be saved. If we are to hold forth the Word of life in the midst of a perverse generation, it is important to remember the example and principle set forth by Paul in 1 Corinthians 9:20-22, along with the necessary spiritual qualifications. CLARKE E. BURKHOLDER FACULTY Joy to the world, the Lord is come. These well known words bring to mind thoughts of song, a season of giving and receiving gifts, and of good will to men. And yet the gifts of our Heavenly Father are without season, falling upon us continually! I am thankful for the great gift of salvation through faith and the unceasing gifts of peace, strength, and joy in Christ Jesus. For He has come and is coming again: Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see Him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of joy. GRACE E. DOAN If it were not for the marvelous grace of God, I may have been numbered among those who are to¬ day classed as Juvenile Delinquents. But because the Lord saved me, I know that He is willing to bring all boys and girls to a full knowledge of Christ as Saviour. What a glorious privilege it is to have a share in reaching children with the Gospel today! May the Holy Spirit make you His instrument to give the Word of Life to benighted boys and girls. E. BERYL HAMPTON

In Christ are hidden all the treasures of wis¬ dom and knowledge (Colossians 2:3). The spiritual viewpoint of the true Christian is the right approach to learning. It puts everything in the correct perspective. He that is spiritualdiscerneth all things (11 Corinthians 2:15). The Christian student and the born-again teacher in a spiritual atmosphere constitute the ideal set-up for education. This situation is fulfilled at the Lancaster School of the Bible. It is a privilege to participate in the activity of such an institution. I thank God for the opportunity and responsibility of teaching young people who know and love our Lord. CLYDE HARRINGTON FACULTY Philippians 3:10-11 My great desire is to come to know Him better and better as the days go by. What a blessing it is to be able to live in the constant enjoyment of His resurrection power. Our Lord calls us into fellowship with Himself, and that fellowship includes every phase of the world ' s hostility to Him and to His doctrine. I need not deceive myself by suggesting that this is easily attained: it is a process in which only those who are actuated by deep love for Christ and who recognize and rely upon the work of the indwelling Spirit will find any joy whatever. But it is all necessary if we are to apprehend the purpose for which Christ lives for us. For this I pray daily. H. ROBERT JACKSON Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the Word of truth. 2 Timothy 2:15 More than ever do I feel that the above words should furnish a pattern for both teacher and student in Bible School. These are days when either ultra dispensationalism or none at all are abroad and it is a great joy to be able to teach young people in some measure how to obey Paul ' s great word to Timothy. It is with increasing joy that I purpose doing this so long as God gives me breath. OSCAR M. KRAYBILL
