REV. F. I. LINDQUIST Men of vision are priceless jewels for which God is searching. The fulfillment . of God's program necessitates the em- ployment of the Wise and willing heart- ed who recognize the need and en- deavor to assist. Our President, Rev. Frank I. Lindquist, possesses this qual- ity. Rev. Lindquist is responsible for the inception and continuous growth of our beloved Institute. Many years ago, he recognized the vital necessity of a min- isterial training school, from Which God could send forth consecrated and intelli- gent laborers. His determination, initio- tive, and prudence are invaluable assets to N. C. B. I. He teaches Doctrine, Divine Healing, Pneumatics and Parliamentary Low, in addition to being Pastor of the Minnea- polis Gospel Tabernacle, and Super- intendent of the North Central District. FROM OUR PRESIDEN T Soldiers of the Cross are in the army of the Lord, which is led by our ever conquering Captoin-Jesus Christ, who has never lost or bottle. The weapons of their warfare are not carnal, but spiritual, and powerful through God, to pull down the strongholds of Satan. Our bottles are won by, What seems in the natural to be foolish means; such as, the marching around Jericho, and the shout of Faith. The arm of flesh cannot comprehend such things as Prayer and Praise. We have on host of Allies, unseen, yet real. They helped Elisha at Dothan, opened prison doors for Peter, slew 185,000 men in one night, and delivered Hezekiah. Since God's Hosts ore for us, they are more than all that can be against us. The cause of Christ is just and righteous, and shall ultimately triumph. Old Veterans of the Cross fall on the field of Battle, but new recruits take their places in the ranks and stand in the gap. Soldiers of the Cross, endure hardness, fight the good fight of faith, never retreat- Be thou faithful unto death, and Christ shall give thee the Crown of Life.
