Message from the Dean of Education “The preparations of the heart in man, and the answer of the tongue, is from the Lord.” (Prov. 16:1) When you come to Christ as Saviour, you were very conscious that the Lord had first prepared your heart through the conviction of the Holy Spirit. The answer of the tongue when you confessed you faith to Him and to others was likewise “from the Lord.” Afterward, the desire which burdened your heart to devote yourself to Christian service originated with the Lord, as did your response when you answered His call, “T gladly present my body a living sacrifice.” Then you came to Moody Bible Institute, where Christ has continued the preparation of your heart for the work He has called you to do. You have been conscious of His presence in this blessed place. He has spoken to you in the classroom, the devotional hour, the prayer meeting, the conference program. It is because He dwells in the hearts of other students that you have found Christian fellowship the like of which you may never have known before. All this, and more, has been part of the preparation of heart characterizing life for you in this school. What will be “the answer of the tongue” as you now leave to represent your Lord before the world? If it is not from the Lord, your ministry will be powerless. We shall be praying that everything you speak to God in prayer and intercession, everything you utter before men, will be from the Lord whose Word you have been study- ing. If you speak as in His presence, receiving your message from Him, there is no limit to what He may be pleased to do through you.

Message from the President Wise men in every age have laid great stress upon preparation. Preparedness is a watchword today. The intrigue of plotters against liberty calls for constant watchfulness and instant readiness. If worldly men sense the need of being ready for emergency, should not we who are the children of God? We are in the conflict of the ages. The battle is not a possible one or a probable one for us; it is on! To enter the fray, to face the foe in the thickest of the battle is foolhardy, unless we are prepared. These have been days of preparation. In one sense such days never end. However, never forget the prepar- 14 ation you have learned here. May your soul be prepared by the Word of God, by prayer, by trial. May your mind be prepared by diligent study, by careful, pains- taking, meticulous search. May your body be prepared by healthful exercise and by daily care. May your spirit be prepared by communion with the known and the loved Lord. Remember, he who ascends the hill of the Lord— as the conqueror who was prepared and who by God’s provision overcame—is He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; Who hath not lifted up his soul unto falsehood, And hath not sworn deceitfully.”
