Manhattan Bible College - Vision / MABICO Yearbook (Manhattan, KS)

Text from Pages 1 - 56 of the 1955 volume:

mh i TTY, eae zi; Wines ate i SSS) SS Wy from the library of Allen dJoseshine Ellas Manhattan Christian Colleg College Professor af Work Everyone here at Manhattan Bible College has come to appreciate and re- spect both the Christian character and the abilities of Professor John Baird. In just t wo years he has greatly enriched our school and spirit- ual lives. With his masterful working knowledge of the English language he is a great boon to the men and women of MBC, most of whom are study- ing to be preachers, teachers and writers. We are grateful for his im- mense and practical background which has included the achieving of such degrees as B.A., B.Th., and M.A., with work now progressing toward an- other, a Ph.D. His teaching experience consists of instructorships in speech and English at the University of New Hampshire, the University of Oregon, and Columbia University. Professor Baird was once faced with the not uncommon but serious question of what to do with his life. Was it to be a career of teaching or of singing? His richly versatile baritone voice would make him well acceptable for the theater. However, his de- sire to train leaders for the Christian ministry won out, and his singing is now done exclusively for God. In his concern for the spiritual wel- fare of the college he has assumed the job of arranging the daily worship services and has organized a weekly Bible and prayer hour. To him, for his loyal consecration to his Master, and for his devotion in strengthen- ing Manhattan Bible College, we dedicate this year's MABICO. This page sponsored by the Christian Church, Glasco, Kans,s Tom Davis, Minister Another year has drawn rapidly to a close here at MANHATTAN BIBLE COLLEGE. We of MBC have had a great year, one full of learning and inspiration. Our fellowship with our faculty and fellow students has been highly rewarding. We feel that something has been accomplished for God's Kingdom because we have seen changes in our own spiritual lives. These improvements, brought about by study, worship, and fellowship, will help us enter into the world to change it for the better. This transformation, we feel, can onl y be ac- complished by presenting the world with the Christian challenge, that of accepting Jesus Christ as Lord. We, the Editor and Staff of the 1955 MABICO, have hoped to bring out not just a book to freshen the memory, but one which will be a clear representation of MANHATTAN BIBLE COLLEGE to those who are now planning a life of leadership for Christ. Our prayer is that it will help you to make that all-important decision for life's greatest calling. e sponsored by the Christian Church, Oak Grove, Missouri.

Thurston as president. The head of the administrative staff of MBC is a man whose Christian character and test- imony have brought a great challenge to all who have come in contact with him. Indeed his keen vision is dedicated to the task of preparing Christian young people for places of service to mankind in the name of Jesus Christ. MBC is a training ground for Christian leaders which is growing rapidly un- der his leadership. The churches of many midwestern states are fortunate that Dr. Thurston came to serve the Lord by educating prospective ministers, for these churches receive the benefits of the toil of our leader and his staff in producing men and women for Christ. Dr. Thurston made an exten- sive study tour of the Holy Land this past summer. Some of the places which he visited were Jerusalem, Bethlehem, Damascus, and the island of Cyprus. Also included in the tour were several archaeological trips which gave him the opportunity to study modern findings about Bible times. His reports have been valuable to the students in understanding both the ancient and modern aspects of the Bible lands. Now in his mid-thirties, Dr. Thurston is lead- ing the school with vigorous enthusiasm and with a vision of a greater col- lege in the future reaching even more people with the Christian message. This page sponsored by Manhattan Nu-Way Cleaners, Aggieville 7 sll Common among all those who know and love Dean Virgil V. Hinds is the feeling that in him is found an extraordinary consecration to Christ and His work. A man who has taken on the job of an intellectual leader certainly has no small task before him, but one who is also called to be a spiritual leader soon dis- covers that the pressure of such responsibility is very great. MBC is fortun- ate that it has a man who is able to fulfill these two duties with the care and devotion that could only come with complete dedication to the work. Some might think that a college with an enrollment of about one hundred students would not require too much time or effort from its dean, but just the oppos- ite is true. Dr. and Mrs. Hinds first moved to Manhattan in the fall of 1936 to begin their service here at the college, and since then he has filled such positions as academic dean, president, professor, and even carpenter and stone mason, as he has continuously striven to improve the college. As if this were not enough, he also ministers to the Christian Church at Perry, Kansas on week- ends. In spite of this strenuous schedule, the Dean finds time to minister to the needs of the students, both scholastic and personal. We look to him as one of the major reasons for the strength and progress of Manhattan Bible College over the years, and feel secure for the future with him as one of our leaders.

The Council mediates be- tween the students and the scnoo)l administration and strives to keep a spir- it of co-operation and understanding in their relations together. The major interest of the Council is to promote the welfare and betternent of MBC.

According to the New Testament there are many obligations of disciples of Christ, and the most important of these is evangelism. Christ com- manded us to go into all the world and preach the gospel. Students at MANHATTAN BIBLE COLLEGE have felt a need for a united effort in mission work. As a result, the Alpha Beta Ki, or Ambassadors for Christ, was organized. Members of the organization include those who have dedicated their lives to full-time mission work and those who are interested in promoting missions. The main highlight of each year is the sacrificial banquet which is usually held in the fall. Students give the money to missions that they would have ordinarily spent on a meal. This year the speaker was Spencer P. Austin who presented a very interesting but dis- turbing picture of world missions.

KRAFT KLUB Realizing that God had given them talents which were not being developed, several of the women got together to form what was originally called the Craft Club. This was a year ago and since then the name has been changed to Kraft Klub, but their purpose is the same. One night of each month the members meet in one of their homes and launch a new project which will be decorative or useful or even both. The club was meant only for those wo- men of MBC who are sincerely interested in enlarging their abilities and interests, whether they be single or married students, or members of the faculty. Their adventures in craftsmanship have taken them through a wide range of work. Some of their projects have been knitting and sewing, cop- per work, and oil painting (above). The Kraft Klub has proved to be a source of fellowship for many who would otherwise have little opportunity for such, and also a fine way of expressing artistic abilities.

The Christian Veterans League was formed by the Second World War Veterans, and any veteran of the military service attending MANHATTAN BIBLE COLLEGE may belong. Opjectives of the organization are: to promote Christ among the war veterans en- rolled at M.B.C., to promote fellowship among the veterans, and to carry out pro- jects which the memoers of the organization think worthy. The construction of the Prayer Room on the second floor of the school is one of the projects the organi- zation has carried out for the college. This year, the enclosing of the college bulletin board in front of the school with the same stone as the college building is being considered as a new project for the organization. These men know the meaning of the challenge to serve their country and to accept the higher calling of God by putting on the whole armor of God in order that they may be victorious in their spiritual warfare against the evil forces of the world.

With the unforgettable cry of roommate ringing in the halls, the women of MS3C work with their leaders, Martha Amlong and Earriet Irwin, to achieve success in building Christian character.

The above young men have come to MBC from cities, towns, and farms in Kansas, Missouri, Indiana, and Syria. They have all come with the same ambition which is to learn God's Word and then to preach and teach it to the world. Becoming and being a minister is anything but easy, and with the task come many heartaches, but these are all forgotten in the joy of seeing souls being won to Christ partly as a result of their ef- forts. It is the greatest calling in life, and the man who undertakes it has a full and tremendous job cut out for him. Shepherdess of this flock of lambs is Mrs. T.H. Johnson, wife of the late president and founder of MBC. She guides them with the love and gentle firmness they need in this home away from home.

All MBC students, faculty, and staff members take advantage of the many opportun- ities provided for this purpose. MBC is dedicated to the task of teaching young people how to wor- ship and does so by making sing- ing, praying, and preaching the focal points of Bible college life.

A system of hinged doors gives access to many months of back issues. MBC's library serves not only the regular student body, but the Manhattan com- munity as well. The library, one of the fastest growing aspects of the school, now numbers nine thousand volumes. The entire library is catalogued. MARTHA AMLONG(left), head librarian, is well trained for this pos- ition and is able to assist the students in finding information which they need. MARY AIKEY, assistant librarian, checks out a book to ORLEY HER- MON. The students of MBC have a wealth of religious knowledge at their fingertips and soon find that the library is their main center of busi- ness. There is also provided a large film strip selection which often helps the stu- dent ministers and youth directors in their week-end work. (Above) .

As in years past, the choir has traveled the state of Kansas visiting many churches. Their concerts have voiced the desire of all Christian people which is that the world should find joy and salvation in Jesus Christ. MBC takes great pride in presenting its tour choir as one of the best events of the school year.

Not only is the end of the school year approach- ing, but there are many e- vents scheduled which are sure to help bring the year to a memorable close. One of the best of these is the all-school banquet. Consid- ered a semi-formal occasion, the banquet is held for the purpose of enjoying good food and an inspiring mes- sage in a Christian atmos- phere. This year's event well lived up to these re- quirements. Shown here is Paul Walker, who gave us a real challenge for the Christ- ian ministry.

The day of graduation means a great deal more than just the receiving of a diploma, it means that here is an in- dividual who has given himself in order to achieve something real and lasting. Though it has meant the sacrifice of several of the years of his youth, he now knows that his life will be far richer be- cause of his effort.

Manhattan Ave. (Opposite East Campus Gate) Brennan Skelly Service 1101 Moro-Aggieville This page sponsored by MABICO Staf Lest anyone should have the idea that life around a Bible college is dull, this year's MABICO is designed to correct that impression. We realize that the brevity of a year book cannot take the place of ac- tual experience, but we hope that this one will be a fair represen- tation of the attitudes, emotions, and accomplishments of a group of Christian young people who have made it their life's work to serve God. Recently, a passer-by was heard to say sarcastically in refer- ence to Bible college life, Now, that must be exciting! Little did he realize that he had hit the proverbial nail right on the head. The average MBC student's schedule is not made up of the regular five days in the classroom and a week-end to relax. Instead, the week-end is perhaps even busier. Most of the students have a weekly routine something like this: A full college course is crowded into four days. Friday evening the trip to the church begins which may be as far as 200 miles away. Saturday is spent in pastoral duties and study, and Sunday involves the preaching of two sermons and usually the teach- ing of one or more classes. Monday is spent traveling back to Manhat- tan, unpacking, and studying for the Tuesday classes. In other words, there is almost no time for relaxation, and consequently, this prep- aration for the Christian ministry rapidly separates the men from the boys. Far from being a grind, the work is both satisfying and reward- ing, and the students consider it a privilege to serve in this way. We have hoped to avoid formality in this book and have desired to show that MANHATTAN BIBLE COLLEGE consists of people who are united by spirit and purpose into a family-type relationship which is unique. Trusting in God, we are confident that MBC will continue to expand in its facilities and spiritual influence and will be able to spread even farther the Gospel of Jesus Christ our Lord.
