. . My three years at L. S. B. have been the happiest years of my life. During this time I have experienced such joy, peace, and satisfaction of which I knew nothing previously. I praise the Lord for theexperiences which I have been through, for each has been for one purpose - that I might be conformed to His image. And the Lord, He it is that doth go before thee; he will be with thee, he will not fail thee, neither forsake thee: fear not, neither be dis¬ mayed. Deuteronomy 32:8 DELORES DIVEN Lewistown, Pa. At an early age, I received Christ as my Saviour under the ministry of the Reverend S. Elmore Byler, an alumnus of the School. Years later, I realized that He wanted me to prepare for His service. It was then that He led me to Bible School where His Word has become precious to me. My next plans are to nurses ' training in preparation for the mission field. - I have seen the vision And for self I cannot live; Life is less than worthless Till my all I give. MARION HARTENSTINE Leola, Pa. A few weeks before entering Bible School, I was saved. It was then that the Lord showed me that church membership, baptism or good works were not essential for salvation. but believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved. InRomans 12:1 God says it is our reason¬ able service to give our bodies as a living sacri¬ fice. I praise the Lord for my salvation and for calling me to serve Him. I thank Him for the opportunity to study His Word in preparation for the work He has called me to do. MILDRED HESS Willow Street, Pa. I praise the Lord for the salvation which I have found in the only true and living Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ. Since He has taken my life and guided it, the way has been one of peace and satisfaction - a peace of heart which, apart from the Lord, no one can know, and a satisfaction which comes only from trusting in Him. The Lord is good, a strong hold in the day of trouble; and He knoweth them that trust in Him. Nahum 1:7 NANCY HOFFER Elizabethtown, Pa.

I praise the Lord for saving me. I am thankful that He has called me into His service. I praise Him for the privilege of attending Bible School to learn more about Him so that I can better serve Him. I plan on going to the foreign field unless the Lord should lead elsewhere. My desire as I graduate is that my spiritual experi¬ ence maybecome richer as I see more fully God’s great Secret, Christ Himself. DEAN BARNHART Elizabethtown, Pa. Thou art the Christ the Son of God. These words used by Peter, to answer the question of Jesus concerning who He was, are the cry of my own heart. I thank God that Jesus is more to me than a wonderful person, more than a great historical figure - He is my Christ, my Saviour, my God. Since I have come to know Jesus as my Christ and personal Saviour, my life has become all joy and peace. MILLARD BEDWELL Chester, Pa. If we have become united with him in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection; knowing this, that our old man was crucified with him, that we should no longer be in bondage to sin. Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body; neither present your members unto sinas instruments of unrighteousness; but present yourselves unto God, as alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God. Romans 6 DONALD BURKHOLDER Farmersville, Pa. After accepting Christ as my Saviour, I dedicated my life to Him. Following His leading my next step was to enter Bible School to be trained for His service. Here I have learned many precious lessons. I know not as yet in what field of service the Lord would have me but I praise Him for opening my eyes to the fields that are white unto harvest. My delight since dedicating my life to Him is to tell others of His great love. Psalms 32:8. JACQUELYN CLEMENTS Lebanon, Pa.

I believe the Lord led me to Lancaster School of the Bible. I know that while in school He has spiritually strengthened me and richly supplied all my needs - physical and spiritual. Once I knew little; later, I thought there was little more to know; now I realize that to know Him is the chief aim of an education. As graduation approaches, I continue to trust Him for the future. CHARLES LAMB Lancaster, Pa. Psalms 18:30 As for God, his way is perfect; the word of Jehovah is tried; He is a shield unto all them that take refuge in Him. I thank God that ten years ago I took refuge in the blood of Jesus Christ. Since that time God has led me to Lancaster School of the Bible and has given me many opportuni¬ ties for service for Him. Jehovah is on my side; I will not fear. EUGENE LANDIS Annville, Pa. O give thanks unto the Lord for He is good. Psalms 118:9. I am truly thankful to the Lord for His goodness to me, first, that I have accepted the Lord Jesus in my heart. During my Bible School days I have come to know the Lord better. I am also thankful for the many lessons that have been taught me during these three years. With the Psalmist I can say The Lord hath done great things for us, whereof we are glad. BETTE MORROW Morton, Pa. I ' m thankful that I accepted Jesus as my personal Saviour at an early age, for He has meant so much to me through these years. Just as He has led me in the past, I know He will continue to lead in the future. My prayer is that I may be conformed to His image and His direct will may be kept always before me. One of my favorite verses is Philippians 3:14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. JOY MUNDELL Aldan, Pa.
