Dedicated To The Graduates of Manhattan Bible College who have given their lives as missionaries to needy souls at home and abroad. Am I my brother's keeper? The answer to this question implies the need for missions. The prophets answered it with a yes as they served their people at home or in other regions of the kingdom, Jesus answered this question in a very affirmative manner by the way in which, by the death which He died. In the parable of the Good Samaritan Jesus illustrates the truth that any one who needs our help is our neighbor. In another parable Jesus taught that through serving humanity we serve Him. “Inasmuch as ye did it unto the least of these my brethern, ye have done it unto me.” The task of us all, the world mission of the church is contained in the Great Commission, “Go ye therefore into all the world, making disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you, and lo, I am with you even unto the end of the world.” World evangelism is the God-given task of the church. The New Testament presents the church as a missionary to the world. We must feel the deep sense of responsibility for carrying out the marching orders of Christ. The church exists to win the world whether we call it education, evangelism, or missions. Missions is the term we have applied to a method spreading Christ- ianity. For the want of a better term we have called services offered to hungering humanity in lands removed from our own Foreign Mis- sions. And the services rendered to underpriv- iliged people in spiritual and physical need in our own country we have called Home Missions. The Cross of Christ is the basis of all our mission work. The redemptive power in Christ's death was an important item, This is the goal of all missions—to bring the lost to Christ and Christ to them, to bring light out of darkness, to bring people to the realization of the abund- ant life which Jesus offers by filling their phy- sical and spiritual needs. Paul has often been called the first foreign missionary of the New Testament. He was will- ing to leave his home and travel through great difficulties in order that much of the known world of that time might know the better way of life. The New Testament church strongly advo- cates missions. They have had a vision of the dream of God in regard to the world task. We are proud of the seven graduates from our midst who have seen the need and responded to the specific work of missions, and we pray that many shall follow their example. One of the number is serving in home missions, the others are serving on foreign soil. To these individuals we pay our high respect and tribute. They know the great value attached to each human soul. Their love for God has taken them far from us by distances but they are indeed close bound in the bonds of Christian service and fellowship. Elmer Kile, one of the early graduates of the school with the class of 1933, is enlisted in home missions. He has served various churches. At the present time he is located in New York City where he ministers especially to the Jewish people, He has a chapel built on wheels known as the Go-Ye Chapel. Mr. and Mrs. Harland Cary, graduates of the class of 1940, are at Eagle Pass, Texas, where they are operating a school for Mexican min- isters. They had planned to go to South America but were not allowed to enter. They are doing a valuable piece of work for the Mexican people. O, D. “Pat Johnson, a graduate of 1945, is a missionary to India. He sailed to India in 1946; he now has his own station located at Jhansi, United Provinces. He is carrying on a general program of evangelism. In 1945 he re- turned to the States for a brief furlough and re- organization of the work. Rolland Sojodin, with his wife Gladys, a graduate with the class of 1943, represents us on the Chinese mission field. It was through the inspiration of a Chinese pilot during the war that they decided on this country for their field of foreign service. George Beckman, a native Nebraskan and a@ graduate also of the class of 1943, graduated from Butler University. He and his wife are serving in Korea. Hal Heimer, a graduate of the class of 1947, now in Butler University, is a missionary recruit to the Belgian Congo. When he has received the proper training he will go to that region. Warren Dittemore, among the class of 1941, has gone to his heavenly reward. He was mar- ried to Isabel Maxey who had served one term in Tibet. After graduation from Butler Univer- sity the Dittemore’s went to Tibet. It was War- ren's privilege to serve only a few weeks in the territory in which he longed to teach the mes- sage of Christ. He was stricken with a fever before his work was scarcely begun. His wife continues his work on the field. A piano in the chapel of M. B. C. has been dedicated as a memorial to him and his love for the Christ for whom he so bravely died. To him we pay special tribute, “And they that are wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that call many to righteousness as the stars forever and ever.’ Daniel 12:3, =v
