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. This page sp He ites George, Minister ;

iS i = Pe ai He It is with great admiration and pride that MANHATTAN BIBLE COLLEGE prepares to enter a third year with Dr. Burton B. 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.
