MAGNUSON, WHOSE LOYAL SERVICE AND CONSECRATED LIFE HAVE BEEN AN INVALUABLE ASSET TO N C. B. 1., WE DO DEVOTEDLY DEDICATE THIS ARCHIVE. THE THEME OF THE 1945 ARCHIVE- IN FLIGHT FOR CHRIST -IS DESCRIPTIVE OF THE DIVINE IMPETUS WHICH DOMINATES OUR BEINGS AS THE HOLY SPIRIT ENERGIZES US TO WIN MEN FOR CHRIST. WE ARE PERSONALLY ACQUAINTED WITH THE ONE WHO CAN TRANSFORM THE INNERMOST DESIRE, REI- GENERATE THE DEPRAVED HUMAN HEART, AND IMPART LIFE ETERNAL. ALL THE VARIOUS YEARNINGS OF MAN- KIND DISCOVER THEIR TRUE ULTIMATE SATISFACTION WHEN THE ALL-SUFFICIENT CHRIST IS ACCLAIMED AS LORD AND SAVIOUR. HE ALONE IS THE DIVINELY AU- THORIZED REMEDY; HENCE, WE ARE IN FLIGHT FOR CHRIST AS WE PROPAGATE THIS GLORIOUS MESSAGE. ADMINISTRATION SENIORS MUSIC JUNIORS MISSIONARY FRESHMEN 7?. 6 3. 7. WW A frequent retrospective view of the assistance and faithfulness of God will inevitably cause faith, zeal, and courage to arise and accelerate us on the Christian pathway. The triumphant proclamatione'Hitherto hath the Lord helped us! uttered by the prophet Samuel during a crucial moment in Israel's history, can well be the testimony and confidence of North Central Bible Institute. On October 1, 1930, N. C. B. I. commenced its existence as a ministerial preparatory institution. Suitable quarters were secured in the recently com. pleted Minneapolis Gospel Tabernacle and thus the Institute opened, dedi- cated to the teaching of the full, old time Gospel to all those zealous for a deeper knowledge of His Holy Word. In 1937 the North Central District of the Assemblies of God purchased, renovated, and equipped the present five story, fireproof, downtown building which the Institute now occupies. The first graduating class, that of 1933, numbered only nineteen; the second, that of 1934, twentyiive; 1935 increased to thirty-nine; 1936, fortyefive. Its phenomenal growth has continued accordingly, until in 1940 the enroll- ment had passed the four hundred mark. Though the program of the school has been modified by the demands of the present war, the blessing and power of God remains unabated. Men of stedfast character, capable of bearing responsibility, are indis- pensable in the program of God. N., C. B. I. was founded largely through the instrumentality of its President, Rev. F. I. Lindquist. We thank God for the vision of the Board of Directors, the Faculty, and the many friends of N. C. B. 1. who have united their efforts in this great cause. The zealous labor of these i'heroes of faith shall not go unrewarded. The past forcefully verifies the power of God; the present reveals the ' need of the world; and future challenges us to even greater achievements! 79W 3'7 Editor and Faculty Adviser -.

LINDQUIST President Dbctrine I and II Pneumatics Gospel Methods Parlimentary Law Divine Healing 0m 79W North Central Bible Institute was founded fifteen years ago and has been forging ahead under the capable direction and leadership of its Founder- President, Rev. Frank I. Lindquist. In response to the call of God upon his life after his conversion in 1914, Rev. Lindquist dedicated his life to the service of God. Leaving his home in Pennsylvania, he went to northern Minnesota in 1921 where he pioneered several gospel works. The Lord blessed his ministiy and in 1923 he was elected Superintendent of the North Central District Council of the Assemblies of God. The work of 'the District has known steady progress and advance- ment under the guidance of its able leader. Rev. Lindquist's reSponsibilities are great, for not only is he District Superin- tendent, but he has also pastored the Minneapolis Gospel Tabernacle for twenty-one years. Realizing the need to train young people for Christian service, in 1930 Rev; Lindquist founded North Central Bible Institute. As a result, hundreds of young people have been trained and are now in Christian service in many parts of the world. Last year he made a missionary tour to Central America and Cuba. The interesting accounts of his trip have stimulated in the hearts of many students a new interest and burden for the peoples of other nations. The students and faculty alike appreciate the deep spirituality of Rev. Lindquist and are thankful to have him as president of N. C. B. I. pwu'dmt'd WW We are now living in a changing world where the traveling time between distant points hos shortened from days and weeks to c: matter of a few hours. With great interest we have watched this travel transition in our lifetime. With like interest we watch the fledgling student arriveot North Central Bible Insti- tute. He has felt the great urge of the beyond, eto prepare to fly. The trip to North Central Bible Institute may be his first trip from home. Moses aptly describes the divine purpose and care which we experience: As an eagle stirreth up her nest, fluttereth ov- er her young, spreadeth abroad her wings, toketh them, beareth them on her wings, so the Lord alone did lead him. How well I rememeber when the Lord stirred up my home nest, taught me to fly for myslf, and then I tried my wings alone. An eagle does not learn flight by sitting still in the nest. The mother eagle knowing this kicks and roughly pushes out the young bird. While Viirst trying its wings and learning to fly, it will find the great wings of its mother underneath if it falls or grows tired. Our God will do no less for us while we are learn- ing flights of faith and growing strong in the Lord. The training of thousands of aviators for the present conflict has required the expenditure of millions of dollars and the in- vestment of other billions in equipment. But every day, from the various flying schools in the United States, there are grad- uates who have earned their wings, and now are ready to make flights miles across the earth. We read of them in combat having completed a certain number of Missions. Our graduates must also find their wings, and must also complete c1 certain number of Missions but of CI different na- ture. They will not be for destruction, but for the saving of souls, and the ceiling is unlimited when it comes to faith and Vision. We have great faith thot God will use them and bless them in heavenly places in Christ Jesus. Great planes and established air routes will fly them to the ends of the earth. What a joy it will be at last to report to our Lord and Saviour, Mission com- pleted, and hear His words, Well done, enter thou into the joy of thy Lord. Each weekday morning at 7:55 the student body assembles in the chapel for a period of devotion and worship. This early gathering has come to mean to every Freshman, Junior, and Senior the time When they personally meet God. Inspirational messages of individual faculty members have - been a blessing and help to all. The second semester services are under the direction of the graduating class where they enjoy the practical experience of song directing and speaking. REV. I. O. MILLER Principal Epistles Dispensational Truths Hermeneutics Holding forth the highest ideals of Christian character 1n his own life, Rev. 1. 0. Miller has been c1 great influence in molding the lives of many young people into the image of the living Christ. His sympathetic understanding and fatherly concern for individual prob- lems have won for him a place in the heart of every student. His many years of fruitful ministry and intense interest in the future of Christian youth have contributed greatly to the development of our school. The deep truths of the Word of God are made real to each student under the spiritual instruction given by our Principal. Besides teaching in our school, Rev. Miller is also the Assistant Superin- tendent of the North Central District and pastor of the St. Paul Gospel Temple REV. EMIL BALLIET Dean of Men New Testament Public Speaking Typology Book of Acts Music Rev. Emil Balliet's radiant Christian character has been instrumental in effecting a true appreciation of spiritual values in each student's life. In his official capacity as Dean of Men he frequently administers sagacious counsel and guidance. His life is one of constant activity, for in addition to his obligations at N. C. B. I., he is the Choir Director of the Minneapolis Gospel Tabernacle, and Secretary of the North Central District Council of the Assemblies of God. i Rev. Balliet's yielded and talented life is an inspiration to all who make his acquaintance. MRS. ANNA F. MAGNUSON Dean of Women Etiquette We are privileged to have Mrs. Magnuson as our Dean of Women. In her own sweet and patient way she faithfully serves as teacher and friend to every student. With sincerity and love she helps and instructs troubled students, ever lifting Christ as the solution to their problemsrethe Friend Who sticketh closer than a brother. Each student deeply appreciates her Christ-filled ministry and will long cherish the memories of the hours spent in her presence. REV. BARTLETT PETERSON Pastoral Theology The vast amount of practical experience which Rev. Peterson has dccumulated, both as pastor and evangelist, has made him a very competent teacher of Pastoral Theology. We appreciate the opportunity to learn from others' experiences and thank God for the rich min- istry of Rev. Peterson. . In addition to serving on the faculty of our Institute, he is the Field Secretary for the North Central District. . REV. RUSSELL OLSON Homiletics Personal Evangelism Prophecy II For the past nineteen years Rev. Olson has been engaged in pastoral work and his reservoir of per sonal experience has made him an efficient instructor. Every student has been richly benefited by Rev. Olson's competent teaching ministry. Rev. Olson is the pastor of the Fremont Gospel Tabernacle in .North Minneapolis and is a member of the District Executive Committee of the North Central District. ' He is also an ardent and enthusiastic personal worker. Through his continued efforts, a new Home eMissionury Project has been started in Minneapolis, Which endeavors to bring the Gospel Message to God's chosen people-the Jews. REV. W. A. KATTER Practical Work Department D. . . t . - S. S. Methods When school days are over and students go forth into the whitened harvest field, they will be inspired by the memory of Rev. Kctter's passion for lost humanity. Through his un- tirinq efforts many souls have been won for Christ. ' He is supervisor of the Practical Work Department of our Institute and under his super- vision the students proclaim the Word of Life in various churches, missions, and hospitals in the Twin Cities. Rev. Katter also pastors the new City of Lakes Gospel Tabernacle in south Minneapolis. REV. DONALD EDSON Church History 'Old Testament Polemlcs Christian Evidences Secretarial Accounting Foremost in Rev. Edson's teaching ministry is his magnetic zeal and boundless enthusiasm. Many a downcast and discouraged student has found new strength and determination in observing his fervent and victorious Christian life. His radiant personality and consecrated efforts make him a very influential instructor as well as minister of the Gospel. He is co-pastor of the Como Assembly in Northeast Minneapolis. MR. MARK J. BELL English I, II, III Music ' History of Missions Typing . Piano Mr. Bell's personal concern for the spiritual growth and welfare of the students has been an asset to our Institute and his daily practical living has been an incentive to many who desire to walk. in closer fellowship with the Lord. Mr.. Bell's consistent life and consecrated musical talents are appreciated by each student. A working knowledge of the fundamentals of speech t is received under his efficient instruction. ESTELLA P. BURKHART Matron Missionary Society Advisor The most essential part of our training is not the presenting of masterly sermons. but is, rather, to muni- fest the Bible truths in our lives that others may be won to Him. Miss Burkhcrt faithfully serves as faculty advisor of our Missionary Society and under her careful supervision we have been presented with the various needs of the homeland and foreign mission fields. Her dormitory duties are performed with the utmost precision and cheerfulness. CORA THOMPSON Registrar. S horthand IRLANDA GUDDAL MABLE SAUNDERS Spanish I and 11 School Nurse IH REV. HERBERT R. SNYDER Treasurer of' N. C. B. I. and North Central District IRENE HANSON Secretary MR. R. L. KATTER Credit Manager RUTH MARKS Switchboard Operator SWW An authoritative and judicious enforcement of righteous principles governing human conduct is and always has been conducive to personal and collective progress and integrity. Modern civilization and governments function through the proper execution of appropriate ordinances and statutes. This sapie factor is also applicable to a Bible Institute. In N. C. B. 1., student discipline is achieved through the assistance of the Student Council, a representative group consisting of four members from each class, who are elected by popular vote and approved by the faculty. Through a weekly report system and their constant contact with fellow students, the Student Council members are enabled to render invaluable assistance in the solving of many problems which inevitably arise. Their main duty is the directing of student activities, both secular and spiritual. At different intervals they have sponsored group prayer meetings and other efforts which have tended to increase the spiritual standards. Since the election rules require 011 Student Council meni- bers to have personally experienced the Baptism in the Holy Spirit, their lives and testimonies are an incentive to the student body. The Student Council is of inestimable value as it cooperates with the faculty in their endeavor to direct the entire student body into the paths of righteousness. MEMBERS Pres.

Inc. The reception of preparatory training . ought not, and cannot eVer be considered as having been completed, if it does not sim- ultaneously present claims for fu- ture endeavors. To merely possess intellectual and spiritual knowledge concerning Christian truths, without ever properly exercising it, is to be guilty of an infamous crime. Preparation and practice are the two inseparable halves of an indivisible whole. A scriptural account verifies this unity. We are informed by Mark that He ordained twelve that they should be with Him, and that He might send them forth to preach. Their period of preparation preceded that of personal activity; however, the former was accepted in view of the latter. Then, when the Son of God did ascend to His heavenly abode, these disciples were commissioned to qo forth in universal proclamation of His' message. Their ministry was about to commence; they were in the Take Off stage. Every graduating Class of N. C. B. I. finds itself in a similar condition. For three years we, the King's Ambassadors, have been zealously qualifying and equipping ourselves for future gospel endeavors. A most thorough and scriptural knowledge of God, supplemented by our own individual abilities and per- sonal spiritual experiences, comprises the facilities wherewith we shall labor. Despite the two thousand years which have intervened since it was first uttered, we of today have re- ceived the same positive command- Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. We, too, have ar- rived at a new phase of life; Thus, we have come to the Take Off stage; -therefore, let us diligently pursue our calling, as did those noble disciples. Today our hearts rejoice as we look forward with eager antici- pation to the mission before us. We have spent three happy years together, and during this time hours of fellowship have been enjoyed and ties of friendship formed. There have been times of earnest study as we endeavored to know our Blessed Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. There have been seasons of refreshing when God graciously poured out His Spirit upon us, and student and teacher alike have been broken and melted in His Holy Presence. During times of discourage- ment, of trial, of stress we have been privileged to bear one cm- other's burdens and so fulfill the law of Christ. Together we have met failures and by His grace our mistakes have become stepping-stones that will lead us safely to Heavenwnd Home. Together we have rejoiced in victories won! As we part and go In Flight for Christ, we have the confi- dence that He shall direct our paths, and on that great and glorious day we shall meet again at Iesus' feet, never to part. CHARLES D.

Prince and pauper, poet and peasant, have all yielded to the mystical and charming effects of musical sounds. Whether or not we are conscious of it, music does indeed possess a prominent place in the human constitution. Regardless of man's individual status, music has always enlightened and lifted his soul to fairer worlds. When King Saul's spiritual condition caused a spirit of conviction to descend upon him, he had the young shep- herd lad, David, to play upon his harp, thereby restoring peace to the monarch's troubled soul. All the cares and perplexities of life's manifold duties are forgotten When sweet melodic strains enrapture the soul. The natural mortal mind always has been and ever shall be inclined to music as CI means to lighten life's load. However, only they Who have definitely experienced the regenerating power of Christ may know the true meaning and joy of music. The psalmist David, while commenting on his own spiritual transformation, did well express this truth as he said, And He hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise to our God. A mere contemplation of all that true God-given regeneration includes, causes the believer to rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory. Thereby, the soul is oft transported on Wings of song into the Fathers presence. Men of the past and present have always found a solace in music. We, too, in present day gospel endeavors may go forth on Wings of song. REV. EMIL BALLIET The entire Music Department of N . C. B. I. is supervised by Rev. Emil A. Balliet, c1 talented musician with superb teaching ability. Many years of person- al experience in various musical phas- es enable him to efficiently conduct the manifold musical activities of N. C. B. I. His perpetual cheerfulness and radiant smile combined with unusual musical ability render him Ct most valuable asset to the Music Department. Rev. Balliet directs the Senior Male, Ladies' and Mixed Choruses and N. C. B. I. Choir, in addition to teaching Music I and II, voice and violin. MR. MARK J. BELL Many students have received an evangelistic approach to the playing of gospel hymns through the lessons of- tfered by Mr. Mark I. Bell, a well quali-t tied picmo instructor. His piano students are very successful, due to the fact that Mr. Bell manifests a personal concern in each pupil's progress. The uniting of musical ingenuity with definite teach- ing ability renders him a most capable piano and music instructor. Mr. Bell is director of both the Iunior Girl's Chorus and the Minneapolis Gos- pel Tabernacle Student Choir, in addi- tion to teaching the Rudiments of Music. ' Mrs. Gladys Balliet Students who desire to obtain excel- lent piano instruction from a thoroughly qualified instructor, are privileged to do so by studying under the supervision of Mrs. Gladys Balliet, a former teacher in a Music Conservatory. She teaches both beginning and advanced classical music and keyboard harmony. Mrs. Ruth Erickson Mrs. Ruth Erickson, organist and pianist of the Minneapolis Gospel Tab- ernacle, is now giving instruction on the Hammond Organ which was recently installed in the N. C. B. I. Chapel. Many students are now availing themselves of this marvelous opportunity. Miss Marian Menzie The music department is fortunate to have the services of Marian Menzie, a senior student, as a teacher of private piano lessons. She has also served as pianist for the student choir which sings every Sunday night at the Minneapolis Gospel Tabernacle. The Music Department is indeed grateful for the Hammond Electric Organ which the student body recently purchased from the Minneapolis Gospel Tabernacle. It is a definite asset to our daily chapel services and other various group meetings. Guilford Mandigo, Charles Lamson. Mary Brewer. S E N I 0 R c H A P E I- P I A N l S I 5 Monday Allen.

Members of the Student Choir furnish choral music each Sunday night at the Minneapolis Gospel Tabernacle and the Fremont Gospel Tabernacle. To provide extra curricular activities for those especially interested in music, different ensembles have been formed. These smaller musical units give opportunity for playing and singing in various churches throughout the Twin Cities. This experience Will prove invaluable to the students in their future ministry. All students are required to take music for three years, which stresses a musical background that will enable the student to contribute his part in CI religious service. SENIOR lADIES, CHORUS The Senior Ladies' Chorus, a group of sixteen, provides extra-ciricular activity for those especially interested in ad- vanced choral singing. SENIOR MALE CHORUS The Senior Male Chorus has indeed had a very active year, having been frequently featured in many Twin City churches. Their participation in a local Youth for Christ Singspiration, held in the Municipal Auditorium, was among the year's highlights. SENIOR ENSEMBLE The Senior Ensemble, c1 musical unit comprised of both the Senior Ladies' and Male Choruses, under the direction of Rev. Balliet, has proven a blessing to those participating as well as those privileged to hear them.

The great Apostle Peter well expressed this essential truth, for he exhorted the believer to grow in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Iesus Christ. The mighty act of regeneration is just a beginninq-the birth of the new and spiritual Christ-qiven life. It is not a mere formal adherence to a doctrine or creed, but the importation of the new life by the risen Son of God. Hence, since the source of this divine life has been thus found, there must be the accompanying feature of growth. However, the measure of growth is a matter of individual concern, your own spiritual growth depending upon your personal decision. Paul correctly labeled some of the Corinthian believers as babes, because they had not exhibited any marked degree of growth. Truly, Christ is Life, and they who are indwelt by Him ought therefore to grow accordingly. God has purposed that our progress should be without limitation, having made available for us such privileges as: fervent intercessory prayer, the Baptism in the Holy Spirit, spiritual gifts, and a life wherein we live and walk in the Spirit. Using the Saviour's life as our pattern and example, we seek to achieve this end: that we may come unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ. Thus, as we continue to progress in these stages of Spiritual life, we, as Juniors, eventually arrive at the Warm Up stage, wherein our en- thusiasm and fervor are rekindled as we contemplate further adventure. Waf'46 As a junior class we have spent two happy years together in North Central Bible Institute. We have noticed in one another's lives the develop- ment of Christian character, a result of growth in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour, Iesus Christ. With God's help the enthusiasm with which we entered school has been directed into channels of usefulness and blessing. The junior year, with its various activities, has afforded an opportunity for every student to develop his talents. Through these activities we have learned to become more efficient messengers of the cross. As the school years draws to a close we thank God for all it has held, in knowledge acquired, experience gained, and victories won. With eager anticipation we look forward to our senior year. As this school term ends, we pray that the God of Love will watch over us while we are absent one from another. May we come back with renewed de- termination to study and work for Himw who loved us and gave Himself a ransom for us that we might be called the sons of God.

A notable Biblical example is the Apostolic Church, which went everywhere preach- ing the Word, the Lord working with them, confirming the Word with signs following. This authentic record verifies the value of the disciples' training as imparted by the Holy Spirit. Hitherto, all duties and obligations were under the superintendence of the Master; however, now these inexperienced disciples must personally begin to fulfill the Great Commission. Their days of apprentiCeship were but memories as they were centronted by the brazen customs of Judaism. the entrenched paganistic religions, and the cruel scourging whip of the Caesars. One important objective of Christ's ministry was to develop them until they were qualified to assume full responsibility for a world-wide propagation OI the Gospel, as directed and empowered by the Holy Spirit. The small, but rapidly increasing Apostolic Church proved that our Saviour had succeeded. A11 gospel endeavors of this present age are inevitably based upon this same potent principleedeveloping consecrated youth to proclaim the Gospel around the globe. Then, whenever the missionary challenge presents itself, they are qualified and available for service anywhere. The amount of success obtained in missionary endeavors is directly proportionate to the number of labourers employed therein. Despite the fact that some form of activity in World missions has always been existent since the first century, there is at present a need more urgent than that of any other period. A recurrence of the Apostolic triumphs necessitates a repetition of the apostolic procedure. Let us, therefore, as graduates of N. C. B. I., render worthy credit to this preparatory institute and glorify God by being In Flight with the gospel message. PRESIDENT James Roney SECRETARY - Monday Allen :Z M t VlCE-PRESIDENT FACULTY ADVISOR Miss Estella Burkhart Christ's command has come to each individucu believer to go to the uttermost parts of the earth With the Gospel message. The Missionary Department is under the capable leader- ship of Estella Burkhart, Faculty Advisor. The Missionary Prayer Bands, which meet each week, not only enable the students to become better acquainted with the needs of the various countries, but they also provide opportunity to remember these mission fields before the throne of God in prayer. The members of the nine missignary bands have pledged approximately three thousand dollars for World Missions. Through these bands several of our students have heard and answered the call of God, and are now preparing them- selves for home and foreign missionary service.

Lying far in the frozen north, Alaska has long been forgotten by her Christian friends in America. The long, dark winters Without any sunlight are typical of the spiritual darkness of her people.

America, blest land of freedom, was founded by zealous Christians who earnestly contended tor the faith eeven to the making of a new nation. Love for God and CI desire for religious liberty led our pilgrim forefathers across the unknown expanse of the Atlantic to the shores of our own native land. Today our country still stands, proud and strong, grounded on Christian principles, but sadly in need of a spiritual awakening. Thoughtlessly, heedlessly, our nation has turned from God to the ways of sineawcty from God's blessings to invite divine judgment. God's promise is to hear our plea when we for- sake our wicked ways and turn to. Him. Hasten, America, back to God! Ye are the light of the world-Let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works and glorify your Father which is in heaven. The dark continent of Africa, shrouded in the night of spiritual darkness, awaits the coming of the true Light Which is Christ Jesus. How true are the words of our Lord, If I be lifted up I will draw all men unto myselfehe that followeth me shall not walk in darkness. It is our duty as Ambassadorsto'f our Heavenly King to present Hime'The Light of the World. Already scores of martyrs' graves in that conti- nent bear mute testimony of missionaries who will- ingly laid down their lives in carrying the Light to those in darkness. They gave their all!

Palestine is known the world over as the cradle of Chistianity. It was nearly two thousand years ago that the hills of Iudea first rang with the angels' song as they heralded the glad tidings of the Christ-Child's birth and called a weary world from its sin and strife to a new and better way. The Saviour-King came as a babe in a manger, only to be despised, rejected, and finally crucified by His chosen peopleehI-Ie came unto His own, and His own received Him not. . Today,the Messiah still awaits admittance to the hearts of His people, but someone must go forth and again herald the glad message in the land of Palestine. r Will that someone be you? I heard the voice of the Lord saying, Whom shall I send and who will go for us? Today multitudes in China cmdiIapan bid for our attentionefor our help. In years past the missionary effort has been very extensive in the Orient. Scores of Japanese and Chinesenatives have forsaken their ancestor worship to live for the Christ of the Cross, Who alone is the source of life eternal. After decades of evangelization, there remaineth yet much land to be possessed for the Master. At our first opportunity we must be prepared to bring them the only message Which can meet the needs of their people, and guide their feet into the ways of life and peace.

Looking southwardee see the long neglected continent of South America. Despite the present world conflict this field is one of the few that still remains open to missionary evangelization. For many centuries this land of eighty-seven million, susceptible people has been blinded by dead and formal religious rituals. Multitudes, who have been lured by degenerated and paganized forms of Christianity, are now crying out for something to satisfy their souls' desire. The harvest truly is great, but the labourers are few, pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest that He would send forth labourers. Christians arise and meet the challenge! V Hereby perceive we the love of God, because He laid down His life for usacmd we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. Above the clamour of the present world conflict we hear the cry of spiritual conflict which rages today in Russia. . Severe persecution has not daunted the true Church in Russia, for it still stands holding high the blood-stained banner of the Great Leader, Iesus Christ. Though many have suffered martyrdom, we rejoice in the words of our Lord, Be thou faith- ful unto death and I will give thee c1 crown of life. It Russia again opens her doors to missionary endeavor, we must be ready to go forth and minis- ter unto theseeGod's oppressed children.

Poverty-stricken Mexico cries out today for the Gospel Message. This land of weary, needy people is not only poor in the material things of life, but is also hungry for the CIll-sufficient Bread of Life. In recent years the Good Neighbor policy has done much toward promoting interest in the econ- omic and political life of Mexico. However, the all important spiritual welfare of these people has received little attention. Although Mexico is the nearest of all foreign mission fields to the Christian Churches of our country, it is today one of the most neglected and needy fields in the world. Is it nothing to you that they perish? Iesus sold, I am the Bread of Life.

In fact, all substantial progress toward any goal consists of such periods. Jesus Christ Himself recognized this logical procedure, for as He referred to the advance- ment of the Kingdom of God He said, First the blade, then the ear, and after that the full corn in the ear. Mankind, by reason of its innate fallen and depraved nature, is not in alignment or agreement with the revealed divine purpose. The human heart is ever at variance with the Almightye-a state of animosity reigning in the human soul. However, when the good news of salvation has wrought its redeeming work, all enmity and strife are replacediby the love of God which is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Spirit, - and thus we are born into the family of God. Despite the fact that such a glorious transformation has been effected, we are often ignorant of the spiritual verities which produced this change. An increase of our spiritual knowledge will cause Simultaneously an apprecia- tion of eternal values and a deepening of our consecration. A knowledge of the Father's will is essential to growth, but that will is revealed in the W 0rd. If the scriptural commande'Study to show thyself approved unto God- is obeyed, we shall constantly be in the process of development and completion. I N. C. B. I. through its impartation of spiritual knowledge assists us to this goal. Hence, we, as Freshmen, come for the Tune Up stage of development, wherein we align ourselves with the Word. WofV? lmpelled by the words of Christ, Follow me and I will make you to become fishers of men, we broke home ties to follow His call. For the past year we have been studying to show ourselves approved unto God, that we might become effective soul Winners for Him. At first, everything seemed new and strange as many of us were new to the city and strangers to each other, but with the hearty and sincere welcome of the faculty and our fellow-students, we soon found a blessed relationship in Christ. As the days passed we found a peace that comes only when we are in the center of Gods will. As one big, happy family we lived and worked, prayed and studied together. Ties of friendship have been formed and together we have learned to know the peace and joy there is in living wholeheartedly for Christ. Many of our number have received the call of God for home and foreign service. Much ground lies ahead for us to possess. As we look forward to the untrodden path before us we have confidence in the One who knoweth the way we take. By His grace we will go forward, pressing toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

This basic universal principle may be thus stated: privilege and res- ponsibility Ore inseparable. Only as we consider the amount of our spiritual priv- ileges are we cognizant of our tremendous responsibilities. The Saviour was definitely aware of the spiritual application of this cardinal truth; for, prior to His sending forth of the Twelve, He told them, . .treely ye have received, freely give. We may attribute much of the apostolic Church's success to this one factor: they not only realized their privileges, but .CIISO were faithful in the fulfillment of their obligations. True discipleship is definitely evidenced when we ioyously receive the Word and then zealously proclaim the divine truths. Our Saviour's proclamation renders this imperative! North Central Bible Institute's curriculum allows ample time for the dis- charging of this important duty. The Student Practical Work Department provides sufficient opportunity for 0.11 to receive the type 'of experience desired. Sunday Schooitecching, tract distribution, week end services, musical units, and mission programs are exempletive of the various phases of endeavors. Divine blessing has often been manifested, ,tor through the direct efforts of the student body many souls have been regenerated and edified. Every student is privileged to equip and qualify himself for any phase of future service. This world's unsaved multitudes challenge us today. We are personally acquainted with the Christ whom they so desperately need. Therefore, let us immediately realize our privilege and responsibility and then help to evangelize the entire world. .9 REV. KATTER Much 5f the success of the Practical Work Department is due to the wise administration of Rev. Wilson A. Katter. His varied and out- standing experiences in personal work and his weekly messages on personal evangelism are an incentive to the student body. VOLUNTEERS OF AMERICA MISSION MID-NIGHT MISSION ST. PAUL RADIO GROUP Every evening many students are engaged in various mission services throughout the Twin Cities. The entire student body is organized into Practical Work groups, which are generally taupervised by senior students. The trimafy motive of these efforts is that i presenting our Christ to the world. :CICh student is privileged to receive Glucxble experience through public ylatforrn appearance. All these endeav- rs are amply repaid by Witnessing the 'Ctnsforming power of Christ working 1 many lives. Among other gospel activities, many students have served as Sunday School teachers in various Twin City Churches and missions during the school year. Certainly their lives and teaching ministry are the means of in- fluencing many young people to ex- perience personal salvation. This teach- ing experience is of utmost importance to future ministers and gospel workers. $64M! CHILD EVANGELISM During the summer vacations many students conduct or assist pastors in conducting Daily Vacation Bible Schools in churches and missions. Pastors are anxious to have the efficient cooperation of our students Who have received special instruction relative to the management and promotion of a vacation Bible School. These great evangelistic opportunities have unlim- ited possibilities of preserving our American youth. CHAPEL PLATFORM SUMMER SCHOOL In cooperating with the government's request for an accel- erated educational program, N. C. B. I. offered summer school for its men students. By attending summer school the men are'able to complete their theological training in two and one hcrlt years. THE LIBRARY The library of North Central is one of the growing departments of our school. Besides the volumes that the present senior class pre- sented to the library, the school has purchased several hundred dollars worth of books. THE SCROLL The Scroll , a bi-monthly publication of the Junior Class, presents the activities and news of the student body. The Scroll had its origin in 1943 and since that time has been one of the successful student enterprises of North Central Bible Institute. This student activity gives opportunity for students interested in literary, secretarial, and art publication work. Co-Editors: Dorothy Richards and Ray Davenport t , y .. t CONFECTIONERY N .C.B.I.
