71w Seam elm 04W Impelled bV Calvary's message, that whosoever believeth in the Son of God should not perish but have everlasting life, eighty seven young people broke home ties to study to show themselves approved unto God. We gathered in the Minnee apolis Gospel Tabernacle, the former home of North Central Bible Institute. . Everything seemed new and strange. Many of us were new to the city and strangers to each other. The faculty gave us a heartV welcome, and we soon found a blessed relationship in Christ. Homesickness could not hold sway for anyone surrounded by two hundred brothers and sisters. The Lord went with us, meeting each need as it arose, pro- viding work, stirring minds to the task of study, strengthening tired bodies, and bestowing spiritual strength. As spring approached, our faculty spoke frequently about the new building necessary to accommodate our growing school. We prayed much. ,Then, one day, the whole school went enmasse to the building in question. Armed with Cleaning implements we went in to possess it in the name of the Lord. There was much eager anticipation as we looked forward to convening in the new building. At last the momentous day arrived, and as Iuniors we met in a fine, spacious classroom. The days and months that followed were pre- cious and priceless. Before our very eyes God had wonder- fully benefited us with lessons in faith that cannot be learned from text books. Time has marched rapidly on, and now we, the graduating class of nineteen-hundred-thirty-nine, stand on the threshold of a life of service. Under the competent guidance and inw struction of our faculty w e have become established, strengthened and settled in the Lord. Friendships have been deepened as the duties and activities of our Senior year have brought us into active fellowship. We have been drawn nearer to Calvary. Its' call to go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature is ringing in our souls. As a class we join hands and hearts answering, Christ of Calvary, we have heard the call! We will arise and go.

Je'd calling, heme Because of love the Saviour come To give His life for sinful men, In anguish died upon the cross That He for us might bear our loss And thus save us from sin. For you He died. Turn not away And scorn His tender, pleading voice; E'en now He's calling out to thee, Oh, weary one, come unto Me. Today make Christ your choice. If you have walked with Him before But know that now you've turned aside, Come back, 0 wayward one, return. Today for you His heart does burn Because for you He died. Eternal life is given to him Who seeks the straight and narrow way Who unto Christ will cry, Come in! Oh, come and cleanse my heart from sin.' He'll pardon you today. eMarion N. Williams
