UORTH CENTRAL BIBLE COLLEGE C1 910 ELLIUTAVE.SO.,MINNEAPOLIS,MINNESOTA55404 0 332-3491 Dear Graduate: Paul makes a statement to the Corinthians and the Philippians which so aptly describes my feelings that I make bold to use them concerning you. I readily recognize that the Apostle used this expression for those who were his converts, nevertheless I wish to borrow his words. He wrote: Ye are our irejoicingi 2 Corinthians 1:14 For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? Are not even ye. . . ? This is the way I feel about you. Your victories and successes are my joy. YOur struggles and problems are my concerns. These years which you have spent at NORTH CENTRAL have been very important ones . Every aspect of your life has been influenced. The contributions you make to society. . .the kind of a family you raise. . . the way in which you cope with both the victories and defeats that make up this life of ours. . .the manner in which you do God's will. . . these and many other extremely vital matters will depend on what you make of the training which you have received. This we share in common - I, too, am leaving NORTH CENTRAL this year. Only I will be gone before you. By graduation day you will have become better acquainted with my successor, Rev. Cyril E. Homer. I know you will have learned to love, respect, and appreciate President Homer greatly in the time which he will have served the college before your graduation. He and I and the faculty wish you God's very best. Let excellence, not just acceptability, characterize your life. Holding Christ preeminent, making Him first, doing all things as unto Him can be nothing but a synonym for excellence. Go in His strength and He will grant you the success that He alone can give. Sincerely yours , President GRC:jk
