:- mzmI-Iys-n I-rnaszm- It has been written that uunless life itself be cast into the scale, n0 goal can be won, no cause prevail? This, we believe, can be fitly said of Rev. Frank J. Lindquist, in relation to his Assembly, the District and the Bible School. Unwavering faith in God, self-control, and self-respect have led his life to sovereign power. To God be the glory. uConfidence serves as the motive power to push us on? The secret of our confidence in Rev. Oscar Johnson is his consecration to his Maker and his Redeemer. His simplicity, directness, honesty, and loyalty Win and retain the admiration, the respect, and the affection of all Who come in contact With him. It is not necessary for men to be great in action; the greatest and sublimest merit often lies in sacrifice and simple patience? This is exemplified in Rev. Edmund Stevens. The patience and the sacrificial element of his unselfish performance of the duties of his responsibility can be estimated only in the councils of eternity. He gives all, that others might give more? Nothing before, nothing behind; the steps of faith fall on the seeming void and find the rock beneath? Rev. Marvin Miller,s simple faith in Him Who is able,l has caused many to venture likewise. To be true to a sacred trust is the sincere desire of his heart and life. His inward sincerity governs his outward deportment. He believes in practicing what he preaches? Motive alone gives character to menis actions; his is favor with God. Rev. Russell Olson is What he seems to be, a man of originality, stability, genuineness, and practical Christian living. Be filled With the Spirit, speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord? Songs of praise and joy characterize Rev. Robertson,s life and add neW inspiration Wherever he goes. He visualizes the Psalmist,s words, uA merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance? Good nature marks his life With untold blessing. We are indebted to Brother James Paulos for his gentle spirit of consideration, tenderness of feeling, and promp- titude of sympathy. Humility, the solid foundation of all Virtues, sets forth his true surrender to God. Under his instruction we are left With the impression that next to the Word, music stands in the hrst place, as Victor over all defeat.

REV. ARTHUR F. BERG Assistant District Superintendent Pastor Sioux Falls Assembly The graduating class of 1935 respectfully dedicates this edition of the Archive to Reverend Arthur F. Berg, pastor, missionary, promoter of Bible training, adminis- trator, and defender of the faith. As a singer Rev. Berg started his evangelistic work in 1919. Three years later he and Sister Berg sailed for Africa, landing September 14, 1922. There they estab- lished a Mission Station at Machumbu, Masisi, Belgian Congo, and near this place a little Swedish girl named Agnes, Whom they later adopted, was left in their care. After four years of untiring service they returned to America, locating first at Sisseton, South Dakota, and moving in the fall of 1930 to Sioux Falls, Where they have built up a thriving Assembly, Which this year has had twelve students at N.C.B.I., the largest number from any one church. Brother Berg is the author of Africa, or Scriptural Brick? As Presbyter from South Dakota he has served devotedly for many years, last year being elected Assistant District Superintendent. His cheerful disposition, his unfailing optimism, his indomitable spirit, and his passionate zeal for souls has made him a real inspiration to all Who know him.
