' 1 Great and marvellous are Thy works, Lord God Almighty: just and true are Thy ways, thou King of saints. Rev. 15 :3. On April 3, 1967 the Mennonite Messi- anic Missions decided we should be en- gaged in some kind of mission work, and that the initial project should be a winter Bible school where the youth of the church can be taught the Holy Scriptures and subjects related to them, where they can' share in and enjoy the rich blessings of an enviornment with high scriptural stan- dards that are conducive to build and establish convictions based on the Word of God - standards and convictions which were historically a part of the faith and practice of the Mennonite church. At the above mentioned meeting the board appointed three brethren - Walter, Newswanger, Paul Ebersole, and myself - to search for a building for this pur- pose, preferably a vacant high school buil- ding, where students could share and have fellowship in dormitory life, away from the heavy populated Mennonite areas. Having received such an assignment, we three had special prayer, asking our heav- enly Father to lead, that His will and purpose might be fulfilled in us. After sighting a number of buildings in various areas which we thought might be used, and rejecting them one by one, it seemed good to the Spirit and to us to look in the Danville area. We counselled with a resident, Brother Edward Ker, and were directed to this large brick building erect- ed in 1924 and located in the beautiful Roaring Creek Valley in Columbia County, Pennsylvania. We believe the Lord opened a great door and effectual. Praise His holy name. We were granted access to the building on July 1, when with the help of many brethren and sisters, as many as 65 in one day Cfor the people had a mind to workj, we began to restore the building to its previous condition. After having been va- cant for five years it was considerably vandalized. About 450 window panes had to be replaced. All woodwork was painted, walls were repaired and painted, floors sanded and varnished, kitchen and dining room made in the basement with walk-in refrigerator and freezer. The coal furnace was converted to an oil burner and a 5000 gallon oil tank was installed. Additional restrooms and showers were put in, a laundry room was provided, and 105 bunk beds were made. We praise God for the reception We experienced in the community. Many peo- ple dropped in while we were working, telling us how glad they were that the building was going to be used again, and especially for such a worthy purpose. On December 2, the day of Open House, ap- proximately 150 people turned out to see the building and to marvel at the changes made. May all be to the honor of our great God. Hitherto hath the Lord helped us. I Sam. 7:12. -Paul Witmer E A E .T e ' is Y -:iii E - L Z, W- --' 1-- - .1 ,Y - - - A!--7+--A -1 ei '- ' il.-' 111 7 L jj: -'-'i- Q ,-e E l EE E E -E S E EST?

So the Bible says. It also says, Blessed is the man that feareth the Lordg that delight- eth greatly in His commandments. KNOWLEDGE The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding. Prov. 9:10. Knowledge means direct perception, acquaintance with, practical information, or under- standing. The fear of the Lord is the We are supposed to fear the Lord. What does fear mean? Fear means reverence toward God, and we can't really reverence Him unless we have Him and have all channels open between us. E Our fear that we have toward God is different from the fear we have for a fire or a wild beast. The fear that we have toward these things is dread or alarm, and this is not what we should have to- ward God. ' , We are blessed if we fear the Lord and if we walk in His ways. If we fear the Lord we will walk in His ways, and we will be undefiled. We will be as a bride who waits for the groom. She will not be defiled and impure but will be pure. So we should be toward God. We should keep clean thoughts and clean lives so that when He comes for His bride she will be ready. What a blessed day that will be when we are all gathered around the great white throne, singing praises to His holy name. Just think! we will talk to Peter and Paul. We can ask many questions about the way they lived their lives and then died for Christ. We can be in that glorious city where He will wipe away all our tears. Will this not be worth fearing the Lord while we live on this old earth? Thou hast laid up for them that fear Oh how great is Thy goodness, which Thou hast laid up for them that fear Theeg which Thou hast wrought for them that trust in Thee before the sons of men! Psa. '31 :19. -Vernon E. Herschberger beginning of knowledge. Prov. 1 :7. We must be careful in getting know- ledge and understanding about the right things. Evil communications corrupt good manners. I Cor. 15:33. As we hear and understand the Word of God it can work to our good or our ill. Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin Uames 4:17 J. After we become acquainted with the Word of God and gain understanding in it, we become responsible for our know- ledge. Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock CMatt. 7 :24J. Our constant aim should be to grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ QII Pet. 3:18J. Knowledge of the Word prepares us for duty. It shows us how sinful we are and that we of ourselves can do nothing. It is alone through Jesus that we receive re- mission of sin. This knowledge caused Peter to write: For prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost CII Pet. 1:21J. What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's. I Cor. 6:19,20. Let us therefore use the knowledge we have acquired this year for the honor and glory of Jesus Christ our Saviour. O deeper yet, I pray, . And higher ,every day, And wiser, blessed Lord, In Thy presious, holy Word. C -Ira L.

Alu...- Dear Youth: I Jesus said, But one thing is needful, and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her, and again, Take my yoke upon you, and souls. The young person who is seeking for the truth and with an open mind is a willing learner will be a good follower, and finally a good leader. Each of us is a leader to a marked degree, regardless of our station in life. It is said that each person in a normal life time influences at least 1000 other persons either for good or evil. This should show us how important it is that each one whom God has chosen to be a disciple of His, Cand Jesus tells us that discipleship is a costly thingy , should see that he walk circumspectly, redeeming the time - making the greatest possible use of the time He gives us to serve Him. Above all, seeing that we are a true exam- ple of the believers, so that they who fol- low our example will be led nearer to God and His Word. Our greatest responsibility in being in this world is to bring honor and glory to God, and to be a true witness of His sav- ing grace which bringeth salvation to all who will receive it. It s with great appreciation and thanks- giving to my God that He has granted me the privilege of sharing in this first year of Numida Mennonite Bible School. I praise God and take fresh courage when I see in this generation so many dear young folks who have chosen to go all the way with the Lord in not only hearing, but willingly doing the all things which He has exalted even above His great name, which will judge us according to the deeds done in the body, whether they be good. or evil. . May the Lord's blessing be upon each of us as we go from here into an evil world as witnesses for Christ, and may each one grow in grace and in the knowl- edge of our Lord Jesus Christ as we walk with Him daily. In all the ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths. -Benjamin C. Eshbach- ,f , F AC U L-T Yf Jimi--' 'W' Ai ' 'H' 7 YY- ' -.Y ' ' ' fi lr i A- 1 'l' l. .Y1..-- . -- ..... - - .

Y PEONEERING IN 1967 Trails still need to be blazed- Making ways into the unknown, Opening doors closed hitherto, Venturing into unwalked fields, Clearing paths for youth's untried feet, Like at N umidia. Frontiers still need to be shoved back- Pitfalls must be closedg Obstacles must be hurdledg Objections must be metg Criticisms must be faced- Like at Numidia. Homesteading still needs to be done- Founding a Christian work to stay, Grounding an institution on Christ, Focusing efforts on the strengthening. of youth, Building lives for Christ's employment, Like at Numidia. -Ida B. Bontrager ' CHOOSING GOD'S WAY Goal gives His very best to all who bravely stand the test,' Bat only second best to those who will not have the best. MQESSAG ECS Why do some people learn to know and love God enough to follow Him and His Word wholeheartedly, when heredity and circumstances a re continuallly against them? Then why have others lost the way when they have had every opportunity to find it and walk in it? I am convinced the answer is whether we want God's way or our way. We need to want God's way more than anything else. If in one little area of our lives we forget that God's way is best, Satan will take advantage of it to side- track us. If we really want God's way more than our own, we will not become discouraged and irritated when our plans are changed, because we know that He must have some- thing better for us. We are never too young to begin walks ing in God's way, and we are never so old that it is too late to start. Christ said to His disciples in John 15:20, If they have kept my sayings they will keep yours also. So if we love Christ and keep His commandments we will also keep the commandments that Paul and the apostles gave us, the commandments the church leaders, teachers, and parents give us. I think we go a step further and respect even their wishes. And this is not hard because if we love someone our de- sire is to please them. It is hard when we love ourselves more. i i I l It cerl tim foll fin lovs wri do rig 4 a 1 thi an lor H4 Ile G1 gc Oll G1 s I N r F l 1 and His P Wa or -dswavoi - e li -me area of Way IS best 1t - fo side: 1 fhore than 'AE discouraged re changer! have Some, 1 il it i I t - 4 'Gsm walk- ever so old lg i s in John? iyings theyl love Christi fe will also l Paul andl oandmenhl enhl id par lrther this i k r r r l l i I i If your conscience speaks to you on la certain issue, do not ignore it. If there are times when you can not see the reason for following it, do so anyway. You usually find the reason later on in life. Paul fol- lowed his conscience even when it was wrong, but because he wanted so much to do what was right, God showed him the right way. God usuallygives us instructions one at a time. If we obey it, he gives us some- thing else. If we do not, we stop growing, and if we remain in this condition too long, we die. Young people are lookng for adventure. How wonderful to open your eyes on a new day, looking forward to the things God has for you, knowing it is something good. Even if not everything looks good on the outside, we know it is good because God is good. -Anna W. Eshbach I i T SPIRITUAL GROWTH One of the worthiest of ambitions is the desire to increase our capacity for God, to grow, and in growing to become more Christlike. If a person has riches he desires more. If one has knowledge he desires still more. Why not more concern about spiritual increase? Paul besought the Thessalonian brethren that they in- crease more and more QI Thes. 4Z10,. The apostle Peter exhorted' his readers to grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ ill Pet. 32181. A great artist student made a statue of an angel. His master said, lt lacks only one thing - it lacks life. There is a great difference between a good moral man and Christian - the Christian has life, the other does not. So before growing, one must have life - eternal life, that life which is born of the Spirit. In order to grow physically there must be proper dietg so to grow spiritually there must be a spiritual appetite for that which will develop spiritual growth. We must feed on the Word. Peter admonishes, As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the Word, that ye may grow there- by CI Pet. 2:21. Milk is good, but we should not stay on milk CI Cor. 3:1,2Jg we need to go on unto perfection and use stronger food which will develop all spir- itual qualities QI-Ieb. 6:1, 5:13,14J. Our Lord prayed, Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth fJohn 17 2171. We need to read and feed on the Word. Read it prayerfully, read it frequently, read it carefully, read it with a willing- ness to know God's will and with a readi- ness to do His will. There must be communion with God in earnest, sincere prayer. There must be exercise. Members of our physical bodies become useless, unless they are used. Someone has put it like thisg G-R-O-W - go right on working. All known sin in one's life must be con- fessed and forsaken. And there must be complete surrender and submission to God. H -M. J. Brunk WHAT SHALL I RENDER? Students, faculty, and constituency, let us think for a moment of our multitude of blessings. Statistics tell us that America represents 6? of the world's area, peopled. by 7? of the world's population. It owns 80? of the world's automobiles, 60? of the world's telephones, and 35? of its railroads. It produces 70? of the world's oil output, 60? of its wheat and corn, and 50? of its copper and pig iron. There have been times when we were producing 85? of the world's food. In America we average about 2 rooms per person, the world average, other than here, is 5 per- sons per room. And besides all this, we are living in a land of the Bible. Most of us have been born into Christian homes. According to Ephesians 1:3, we are blessed with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ. God has promised never to leave us nor forsake us, and if it were possible to exhaust the mercies of God today, we are told that tomorrow we shall have a brand new supply of His mercies. So, in view of all this and more, may I ask you, what can be rendered to God and to fel- lowmen for the blessings wherewith He has so graciously blessed us? May God help us in all these things to understand that every good and perfect gift comes from HIM. -M. S.

DECEPTION t That we are living in a time when there is much deception is really nothing new as deception is almost as old as the human race itself. Satan is the originator of this evil and is very diligent in getting as many in- volved as possible. A quick look at sacred history reveals numerous instances of de- ception and the consequences of these acts. Eve was deceived CI Tim. 2:1411 and it seriously affected the entire family from that time until now. . ' Jacob deceived his aged father and we see how divine providence had him reap what he sowed with tremendous increase. We see the chief deceiver try his tactics on Jesus and here he met with one whom he could not cause to fall to error. By this victory we can also be victorious. Our Lord gave us a pattern of defense as he quoted the written word to His foe. The most heinous of all deception is experienced when a man deceives himself. Self-deception becomes a reality when a person responds to Satan's suggestions apart from any other person being em- ployed inthe plot. James says in 1:26 that the use of our uncontrolled tongue in religious professor is one process of self deception., 3 I Paul warns in Gal. 6:3 that an over- estimation of one's self, is being deceived by yourself . The prophet Obadiah Qverse 3 Jtells Edom the pride of thine heart hath deceived thee In speaking of the end time and the influences that are pre dominant 1n this period, Paul forewarns us that those who love not the truth will receive full the force of Satan s deceiv ableness 1n which there will be men who, posing as teachers of truth, will actually be teach1ng the untruth to further con Eougid those who regect the counsels of o The fact remains that sooner or later all deceived people will wake up to reality Let us be diligent champions of the Word Of God so that there may be many yet delivered from this course and be brought to reality now rather than later -Jesse Neuenschwander ee in. cred de.

He must be emo- tionally stable and able to react well to loneliness and darkness, and be capable of making sound decisions in times of severe stress. He must live a disciplined life and know how to respond quickly to instruc- tions, and of course he must be willing to go at the risk of never returning.

The Bible says he was eloquent and mighty in the scripture. He taught diligently the things of the Lord, knowing only the baptism of J ohn.. A brother and sister heard him speak in the synagogue and sensed that he needed more instruction. They took him into their home and taught him in the way of God more perfectly. After this he was recom- mended to the church and the church welcomed him into their fellowship. Now he went forth and helped the church much, showing by the scripture that Jesus was the Christ. Just before Jesus left His disciples, He told them to wait until they receive power from the Holy Ghost, then go and be wit- nesses unto Him, both at home and to all the world. Here at Numidia Bible School we can become better witnesses for Jesus through our study of nonconformity to the world and by applying our study of the Word to other phases of life. The study of the Bible will help us strengthen and develop con- viction, encourage us to make new com- mitments, establish us more firmly and root us more deeply in Christ. My sincere prayer is that as we leave this school and go into different parts of the world the effects of our study and fellowship' will be felt and seen by all we come 1n contact with and that we ma , Y hell? many souls turn to the Lord for salvation. Will we be better witnesses? -Sidney Gingrich purely political and the mission merely earhly, but we may well be challenged with the kind of fitness that qualifies him for his mission. To young Timothy Paul urged, Study to show thyself approved unto God, a Workman that needeth not to be ashamed. As we study and learn ways that please God, we become fit for the Master's use. Our lives will then be on the altar burning out for God in the greatest of all voca- tions, and an incorruptible crown will await us. -Aaron M Shank YOUR FAITH Will your faith stand the test? The Bible has a good deal to say about faith. There is a faith that saves and one that is mere belief in the mind and fails in the end. Without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must be- lieve that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. Heb. 11:6. T Jesus said to Martha, Whosoever liv- eth and believeth in Me shall never die. Believeth thou this? fJohn 11:16J. The apostle Paul said to the jailer, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house CActs 16:31J. Faith is the victory. I John 5:4. But faith does not stand alone. It is supported, or made real, by obedient action to the. Word of God. By faith Abraham, when God called him to leave his people, obeyed, not knowing where he was going, but judged Him faithful who had called him. -Q 1 .. 1- ',,. f--I-I'? 'a ? ' J, . A W .

So Abraham proved his faith by his action in obedience to the Word of God, and was called the friend of God. Here then is the test: Is your faith land mineb expressed in obedient action in line with the Word of God? Jesus speaks very clearly concerning love and obedience in John 14:23,24. The possibility of being deceived The Bible says, Be not deceivedg God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap CGal. 6:7 J. The Bible also clearly states that these are people who feel secure in their faith but it will not stand the test. Matt. 7:21,22g 25:1-13. Will your faith stand the test? The apostle Paul encouraged Timothy to hold on to his faith and a good con- scienceg which some having put away con- cerning faith have made shipwreck: Of whom is Hymenaeus and Alexander QI Timothy 1:19,20J. No one can put away anything that he does not have. These two men apparently had faith and put it away. They lost their relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ and were delivered to Satan. What a terrible loss! , Jesus said, Be thou faithful unto death, gnilol will give thee a crown of life lRev. Will your faith stand the test? , -Edwin H.

Many of these voices are from students who are sincerely seeking the truth of the Word of God. Other voices come from people who have had more experience but who are till engaged in the thickest of the , s fight, instructing, teaching, and admon- ishing. . My spiritual ears are exposed to voices all about me, too. The voice of the Holy Spirit is speaking to the sons and daugh- ters of God who have their spiritual ears tuned to the same frequency in which He is speaking. Here we receive not only in- structions, encouragement, and directionsg here we are also warned, convicted, and rebuked. , Not everyone's ears are tuned tothe frequency of the Holy Spirit. Unfortun- ately these ears are then exposed to the voices of the forces of which Paul writes in Ephesians 6:12 -- principalities, pow- ers, rulers or darkness, spiritual wicked- ness. These forces are sending forth their voices of corruption, unbelief, doubt, error and deceit. Paul warns against them in II Timtohy 3:13, But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived . y Gne by one the doctrines and teachings of our Saviour and the apostles are facing the onslaughts of these evil men and se- ,ducersg and, sad to say, one by one land sometimes fasterb these same doctrines are being dropped by the wayside. Doc- trines for which our forefathers suffered, bled, and died are being cast aside as non-essential to our contemporary soci- ety . Then we ask ourselves why. Has God changed? Has His Word changed? We are quick to answer that neither has changed. What has changed is that Eve is again listening to the voice of the serpent. Eve, the wife of the frist Adam, fell because she listened to the wrong voice. The church, the bride of the second Adam lJesusJ, is listening too much to the wrong voice, and is again hearing, Yea, hath God said -? q P L Y ro, thihall. I nl?

I am wondering about the people whose voices I hear all around me.

There is no greater question in the minds of young Christians today. Does the Bible say how I can have victory over my own flesh and spirit? Let us see. Turn to Colossians, chapter two, with part of chapter three. At Colosse were teachers who wished to continue to ob- serve many restrictions and regulations concerning eating, drinking, keeping holy days, severely disciplining the body, wor- shipping angels, practicing false humility, etc. They counted more upon these prac- tices than upon the strength of Christ to crucify the flesh and put on the virtues of Christ. No, they did not deny or remove Christ, but they did not count upon Christ to be a present, all-sufficient Saviour. Listen to the last phrase of the last verse in chapter 2. The Apostle says these self-imposed measures are not in any honour to the satisfying of the flesh. This means, N ot of any value in the conquor- ing of our flesh. While these rituals appeared commendable, they cannot be counted upon to give us victory in this continual battle against our flesh, our own Will, our own spirit. You cannot fight the flesh with the flesh. You cannot conquor the old man with the devices and weakness of the old nature. Jesus Christ is the only One who can defeat Satan and self. The false teachers did not hold Christ to His proper place as Head, the Apostle says in verse 19. Jesus Christ must be the Christ- ian's nourishment and strength. Further, in chapter three the Apostle continues His remedy. We need continu- ally to acknowledge that we live in the power of the resurrected Christ. Our vis- ion must be upon the victorious Christ seated on the throne of power. We became earthly because we are not living in the heavenlies. Our true life is secure in Christ. Christ is our life. Think this through. Christ is the con- tinuing source of all our spiritual strength. Use Him. Invoke His power upon every situation in your life. Of what benefit is a neighbor if you do not use him. There- fore, use the name and power of Christ in every instance to put off and put on . -James Siegrist THE FINALITY 0F GOD'S REVELATION For ever, oh Lord, Thy Word is Settled in Heaven. Psalm 119:89. , The foundation of God standeth sure. II Timothy 2:19. If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded through one rose from the dead. Luke 16:31. Revelation is the act of revealing a divine truth that was unknown before. It is a term used for communication from God to His prophets and by them to the world through the Bible. Revelation from God is possible and necessary. God, who is infinite, is a being of wis- dom and power. i'God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son. Hebrews 1:1. This is God's final revelation. For almost 2000 years we have had a closed and completed canon. God has other ways of revealing Him- self to man. The natural attributes of God are seen in the book of nature QPsalm 19, Romans lj, but the moral attributes are revealed through the Word. The God of creation and His written revelation are one. The teachings of the scripture about God, man, the world, sin, eternal punish- ment, salvation and Jesus Christ are proof that the Bible is not the product of man, but in truth is a revelation from God. For that which is known about God is evident to them and made plain in their inner consciousness because God hath shown it unto them. For ever since the creation of the world, His invisible nature and attributes, that is, His eternal power and divinity have been made intelligible and clearly discernable in and through the things that are made His handiworks, so men are without excuse. QRomans 1:19, 20, Amplified N. TJ This we call the light of creation or nature. Even science and archeology agree with scriptures. The effects of God's revelation to the world have been astonishing wher- ever the Bible is known: arts and sciences have been cultivated, peace and liberty have been diffused, civil and moral duties have been attended tog nations have emer- ged from ignorance and barbarity, com- munities have been morally transformed. Kings, peasants, philosophers, wise and ignorant, rich and' poor have been 'brought to the foot of the cross. It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. Come, meet your spiritual needs .with us as we look into God's final revelation. -Moses Baer . ll 1 l l 4 ' il l 1 1 l i GROUNDED AND SETTLED IN THE TRUTH H Pilate asked Jesus, What is truth? Many people today are not sure what is truth. Some say truth is relevant. Others say you cannot be sure. Many who ask, What is truth ? are steeped in darkness and superstition. Many others who at one time were grounded and settled in the truth today are not quite sure what is truth. Because of the many voices, over the air, from the pulpit, in the classroom, and from literature that presents erroneous teaching or half-truth, many are being unsettled and are asking what is truth as they are being tossed about with every wind of doctrine. 0 A statement we frequently hear today IS, I am confused .

This has been our goal in starting the Numidia Mennonite Bible School. My prayer is that, if the Lord should tarry, this school may continue to maintain this goal, and that many more might become grounded and settled in the truth. How can We maintain this goal?

Singing is a Wonderful opportunity, a very expres- sive Way for young people as Well as older ones to praise God. I am thankful for the Privilege of having a part in helping other People praise the Lord in song. Working with young people in singing groups is very rewarding, and has been one of the most pleasant things in my life. I heartily recommend that young people everywhere Study music and learn to sing With the best of their ability. Colossians 3.23 says, 'fl-Ind whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not unto men. This in- cludes singing. I am very much impressed by the mes- sages given in song. Someone has said, there are more people sung to Heaven than what are preached to Heaven. I believe there is some truth to that state- ment. Maybe some time a hardened sinner Will be touched by your song and turn to repentance. COME TO THE SAVIOUR Come to the Saviour, make no delay, Here is His Word He has shown us the Way? Here in our midst He's standing today, Tenderly saying, 'tCome! Suffer the children! oh, hear His voice! Let every heart leap forth and rejoice, And let us freely make Him our choice: Do not delay, but come. Think once again, He's with us todayg Heed now His blest command and obey, Hear now His accents tenderly say, Will you, my children, come? CHORUS! Joyful, joyful, Will the meeting be, When from sin our hearts are pure and free, And We shall gather, Saviour, With Thee, In our eternal home. --Aaron Weaver t DIVISION 'I - LIFE or CHRIST' Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world. John 1:29. 4 - ' With Brother William Wagler as our guide we 18 students took a journey back to the time and place where Christ first made His appearance into this world. It was a time of political and religious un- rest, and instead of coming to a nation mature in holiness, consecrated to the task of being a blessing to other people, Christ needed to begin His work by proclaiming a reformation to His own people. As an aid in our studies we used the book The Life of Jesus Christ by James Stalker. One of the significant aspects of Christ's life while He was here on this earth was that He was a man like one of us and was tempted in all points like as we. But we can praise God that He, came through victorious, and because of His victory there is a way of escape so that we likewise can claim total victory. As we looked into some of the events and discussed in chronological order the miracles and teachings of Christ, we were challenged anew with Christ's desire and fight for preeminence in our hearts and ives. It was not Christ's mission to set up a political kingdom on this-earth. He came to establish the kingdom of God in the hearts of individuals. So this all-impor- tant question comes back to us, Have we surrendered completely our hearts and wills to the Saviour, who paid the .tre- mendous price to redeem our souls? -Ruth H. Hurst HEBREWS The Book of Better Things is the name often given to Hebrews. The writer contrasts the good things of Judaism and the better things of Christ. BIBLE 'STUDY For our studies we have divided the book of Hebrews into four divisions. In the first we have Christ as the Son of God. His names, works, character, position or rank, and His eternal existence are proofs of His deity. Since Christ is the Author of eternal salvation, Christianity is superior to Judaism. In the second division we have Christ as the Son of Man. It was necessary for Christ to become man, to be tempted, to suffer, to die, to sanctify and call us breth- ren, to restore to man all that he lost through Adam's fall. Moses and Joshua could only bring God's people into Canaan rest, while Christ can bring the believers into the true rest of God. J The third division is Christ as the Priest - a greater High Priest than the priests of Judaism. Aaron could not take the people with him into the Holy of Hol- ies, but Christ brings believers into the immediate presence 'of God. The work of the High priests of Israel was only a type of Christ's work, their workwas never finished. But Christ completed His work of redemption when He died once on the cross. In Christ we have the fulfillment of all the types. . Christ is the Way. He is the Way to God. Through faith in Him we have the blessed hope of life eternal. As we students, with Brother Moses Baer as teacher, continue through these three weeks we trust that the Holy- Spirit might open our minds and help us more fully understand the great truths found in this book of better things . I y -Alice Siegrist FULFILLED Pnorl-uacv . I The Fulfilled Prophecy class was taught by Brother Jesse N euenschwander. , . The definition of the word prophecy IS the foretelling of future events. We discovered that some prophecies were ful- filled shortly after they were prophesied and others are yet to be fulfilled. .K s s .lt el if . 1 I . , 1 I My as T I. lla -. st dmslesl llerhhilfe lei W exe' 'plllllf-' use Chglenci' ion 'lit ll 'Chess ll.

I' s . il According to Isaiah 61 :1-3, Isaiah was to prophesy of the acceptable year of the Lord - the time when Christ was to come to earth. Isaiah was also to proclaim the day of vengence of our God. Luke 4:16-22 tells of Christ's reading this scripture found in Isaiah 61, but He only read verses 1 and 2a. Then he sat -down and Said, This day is this scripture ful- filled in your ears . This was meaningful to us as we realize that the prophecy con- cerning acceptable year of the Lord has been fulfilled by Christ's coming into the world. This came to pass about 750 years after the prophecy was proclaimed. The prophecy concerning the day of Vengence of our God has not yet taken place, but we thoroughly believe it will take place in the future as has been prophesied. Our appreciation for the Bible was deepened as we were again impressed by the fact that the Bible is true as is shown by the prophecies which have already been fulfilled. The Word of God has the answers to all our problems and it always will, regard- less of the source to which other people may turn for help. -Lois Sensenig TYPES AND SHADOWS Howbeit that was not first which is Spiritual, but. that which is natural: and afterward that which is spiritual CI Cor. 15 :46'J. . This study has proved to be very' en- lightening as we notice the various types in the Old Testament which pointed for- ward to something in New Testament. Types and shadows are word pictures which illustrate the truth to us more clear- ly. The reason these were written was that .WG might profit by them. They are for our learning. f It is necessary to keep types and shad- ows 1n mind when we read the OldTesta- mellte to understand its terminology. There are various people in the Old Testament who are a type of the work of Christ. Also, each Dart of the tabernacle, the furniture, , thf-Vbuilding materials, the pattern it was lald out in, has a spiritual significance. When the Israelites built the tabernacle, every command of God had to be carried out to the minutest detail. Why did it have to -be so exact? Because this was a type typifying the work of Christ. The bodies of the high priests had to be free from any physical defects since they were a type of the perfect Christ, who is morally and spiritually without spot or blemish. The manna was a type of Jesus as the Bread of Life, and the water which came out of the rock typifies Christ as the Liv- ing Water. I am sure that each one of the eleven students in this class, taught by Brother Moses Baer, has, as a result of this study, a better understanding of God's wonderful plan for our redemption. . -Rachel Siegrist DANIEL This was a very enthusiastically taught book to 30 eager-to-learn students, includ- ing some teachers that didn't have classes to teach that hour. Brother M. S. Stoltzfus really got some puzzled looks and confus- ing questions as he taught us. We learned that the key verse to the book is Daniel 2:29. Our memory verse was Daniel 2:44. Broher Stoltzfus used a large chart which measured 12 feet long and 52 inches high. The class also purchased miniature charts. This study proved a real blessing to us in unfolding the great plan of God. Our main study centered around the great image in chapter 2 and the four beasts in chapter 7. We learned that the image was made of four 'different kinds and colors of material. The head was made of gold and repre- sented the kingdom of Babylon. The chest and arms of silver represented the King- dom of Medes and Persians. Next the bellyuand thighs of brass rep- resented the kingdom of Greece. In Daniel 8 :5,21 the Grecian kingdom is represented b h he-goat with a horn .between his Zylecstlthe horn signifying the first king of Grecia, Alexander the Great. The fourth kingdom was represented by ' and clay and finally by iron II1iXed iron with miry clay. This was a scarlet color and stood a for Rome- . We also studied the 70 weeks of Daniel in chapter 9. Brother Stoltzfus kept telling us th1S was a simple book to study if we take everything at what the scripture says and don't try to spiritualize it. It was said that it was so simple we make it hard. J -Harold Hurst H COLOSSIANS In whom we have redemption through His blood, even the forgiveness of sins. Col. 1:14. This class was taugh tby M. S. Stoltzfus, who made the book of Colossians quite plain and easy to understand. Though Paul wrote the book and had great concern for the Colossian people, Epaphras first brought the Gospel to them. The church of Colosse was about 13 miles from Laodicea. This b o o k teaches completeness in Christ. Even though we are not complete in the things of this world, if we have Christ we are complete. We are to befilled with the knowledge of His will. Paul also warned' against things that were prevalent in that day. These warn- ings must also be heeded today. He not only put out warnings but aslo gave eX- hortations. The mystery spoken of -in Co- lossians is salvation to the -Gentiles. We are indeed grateful that God has called out from among the Gentiles a people for His name . CActs l5:14J. If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above. Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. Col. 3:1a,2. This verse says affection, not affections. Where is your affection? Our teacher summed up the book by giving us seven points of Christian living: 1. The practical end of Christianity is holy living. 2. God will not permit His forgive- J ness of sins or His grace to be used as a license for sin. 3. Christ is the one mediator. 4. Through Christ alone we have con- tact with God. 5. The power of holy living is recog- nizing and knowing Christ. r - 6. Thereis necessity of continuously putting our trust in Him. 7. Christians have the assurance of ultimate triumph in Him. -James Weaver TABERNACLE sTunYi Under the guidance of Brother, Paul Ebersole, fourteen students appreciated this rich study of The Old Testament which so wonderfully portrays in types and shadows the person and work of Christ and His church in the New Testa- ment. l H .- e . God in His holiness cannot look upon sin. But He in mercy and loving kindness moved to bring .fallen man back into His presence and fellowship. God designed the tabernacle structure and worship so that man in the Old Testament would realize the awfulness of sin and costliness of re- demption. Nothing cost the lsraelite more than the price of his redemption in sacri- fices and offerings. God gave-the best heaven had, and-it costs us our all to be true followers of Jesus. J H r ' Pictured for us in this study is the believer's need to daily go to God's Word for cleansing. We see Jesus as the Light of the world, He has made us to become lights for Him. He is the Bread of Life. The prayers ofthe saints rise as sweet perfume to God. We see the veil which was torn from top to bottom the day Jesus' body was broken so that now we can through His shed -blood come boldly to the throne of God. The Ark of the Covenant which stood in the Holy of Holies represents Jesus who is our refuge. The mercy seat rested upon the ark, and was the place where God met with His people. On one day of each year, the high priest entered the Holy of Holies to sprin- kle the blood of the atonement upon the mercy seat. Jesus, our High Priest, having made atonement once for sin, has entered into heaven, any sinner who in penitence and faith comes to God through the merits of J esus' shed blood is accepted with God. Truly praise, worship and thanksgiving belong to our God, for the unspeakable gift of His love. p 1 , -Ruth Ann Mellinger . cont ii IIII111111 3381111 1 H' 1111 111 , 53111 1'01her, Pam I aDDreci1111 - Test,qmenI '11 EI. l 1 1 11. . 15.11 -1 1 - 1. .1 I, ,rr 1 ...

This has been the theme verse throughout the course. N onconformity is not a Mennonite doct- rine but a Bible doctrine. Conforming is to be made like unto and Romans 12:1,2 tells us that we are not to be conformed to this World but to be transformed. We discussed the spiritual ideals of non- conformity along with other aspects, such as: business, choice of vocation, courtship and marriage, leisure time activities, and attire. The World is a sinful and ungodly soci- ety. In I John 2:15 We are told, Love not the World, neither the things that are in the World. ' In the business life, no person who is a Soldier of Jesus Christ will get entangled with the affairs of this world so much that it will hinder his spiritual life. Be ye not enequally yoked together with un- believersf' This verse also applies to courtship and marriage. . The Christian will be careful to have his program of recreation in keeping with his profession or godliness. To do all to the glory of God means that all our conduct under all circumstances will manifest the presence of God in our lives. In the study of nonconformity in attire We learn from I Tim. 2:9 that women are to adorn themselves in modest apparel with shamefacedness and sobriety. This course was taught in two sections by Brother Sidney Gingrich from Myers- town, Pennsylvania and included 52 stu- dents. -Naomi Gingrich and Louise Shank THE HOLY SPIRIT AND HIS WORK We took this study of the Holy Spirit and His work to learn more of who He is and how He works through the Christian's 1 e. When Christ left this earth He sent the Holy Spirit as a Comforter to the Christ- ian. The Holy Spirit is one of the God- head. He is a divine Person, not only an Influence. He was sent to earth as the SP11'itof Christ, for He was sent to glorify Christ. He is not above Christ. He convicts men of their sins, and leads them to repentance. He creates faith and effects .the new birth. He is the secret power .in a Christian, and our strength OYQI' Slfl. He empowers for witnessing, g1V9S gifts to and guides the church and fglkefgiiiigcithin us all the virtues and graces thgvgleflvve receive Christ as our. Saviour We bliirit comes and dwells within.

The Bible is the best and safest text- book to study to learn of the baptism of the Spirit, the filling of the Spirit, and the sanctification of the Spirit. There is much more given in the Blble about the Holy Spirit that we first realize. Outstanding scriptures are John 3, John 14 to 16, Acts 2, Romans 8, I Corinthians 12, II Corinthians 3 and Galatians 5, , A - -Samuel Stauffer A -Warren Martin 1 ASSURANCE The aimvof this class is to answer the question, How can I know I am saved? I am sure this important question has bothered all of us as Christians at one time or another. We need assurance to give our faith a sense of reality, and to sustain happiness in our Christian exper- ience. Assurance is based on the finished work of Christ in His death and resur- rection. John 3:16. Many people today do not have assur- ance because they were never really born again. Also, it is a test of our faith. Do we really believe what God says in Ro- mans 10:9-10? Assurance can be obtained by having real faith and trust in God and His Word. A continued study of the Word, a vital prayer life and a cultivation of Christian races must follow g . Here are a few questions to ask our- selves to confirm our assurance: ' 1. Are we walking in the iight of the Gospel? I John 1:7. Have we confessed and forsaken our sins? I John 1:9. r ' Are we obedient to all the commands of Christ I John 2 :3-5. 4 Do we truly love our brother and are we loyal to'Christ and the Church? I John 229, 15-17. ' Assurance plays a vital role in our wit- nessing. How can we convince the world if we are not sure of our own salvation? My prayer is that this class, along with ' Brother Moses Baer, may our teacher, t have true Christian assurance as we go forth in a world of darkness and uncer- tainty. 2. 3. ...Amos L. Brubaker NONRESISTANCE We students, under the teachings of Brother Menno J. Brunk, were carefully indoctrinated in the subject of nonresis- tance. Pacifism, we learned, differs quite a bit from Biblical nonresistance. Paci- fists oppose war on the basis of econom- ical loss and loss of life. They believe in betterment by reformation rather than by a new birth experience. The purpose of our government is to punish the evil doers, protect the pious, and keep order in the world. We were reminded of our responsi- bilities to the government: we are to pray for, be subject to, pay tribute to, and honor our rulers. Why did God comand His people to fight under the old dispensation? a stu- dent inquired. We learned that God either approved or commanded His people in their warfare. His people suffered because they failed to carry out completely God's decree to exterminate the evil nations of Canaan. In the New Testament, Jesus taught that we should not resist evli, but that we should love our neighbor as ourselves, and that we should love our neighbor as our- selves, and that we should preach the Gospel of peace, bringing glad tidings of good things. -Eva Rhodes DIVISION 3 - CHURCH BIBLICAL BASIS FOR MISSIONS ' In this class we were made more aware of what the Bible has to teach us in the field of mission work. We noticed a type of mission work in the Garden of Eden. When man sinned and fell away from God, God called to Adam: Where art thou ? He was concerned about man and wanted to call him back into fellowship with Him. There are other places in the Old Testa- ment where we see mission activity. But in the New Testament it is more outstand- ing. In fact, it is a direct command of Christ that we go out into all the world and teach all nations about the plan of salvation. The command is not the only reason why a Christian should be inter- ested in mission work. When a person is really born again he will have an experi- ence which he can not keep to himself but he will be overflowing with Christlike joy and love. A burden for lost souls burns deep in the heart of every true Christian. There are many places where a Christ- ian can witness, the first place being in the home to brothers, sisters, parents and children. If we do not accept this mission field, then we will not be of much use to the world around us which would be our next obligation. Starting with our-nearest neighbors we should witness at every op- portunity so that when we are called by Cod to a more difficult task we might be ready to serve wherever or whatever it may be. As we studied this topic with our teacher, Edwin Gehman, the call to mis- sion work seems to come louder than ever before. -Ronald L. Martin Ii' I H A l ta. I lo ..

There are about 16 of us that d meet Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday an Friday at 2:40 in room 2, with Brother Edwin Gehman as our teacher. Our studies began with what the Catho- lic church believes and teaches. We then learned how a certain group couldn't go along with those teachings any more, and left the Catholic faith. This certain group was called Anabaptists . Among the main Anabaptists we stud- ied about were Conrad, Grebel, Simon Stumpf, Felix Manz, and George' Blau- rock. We learned of their horrible perse- cutions and sufferings because of their faith. Some were drowned, some had parts of their bodies removed, and others were burned at the stake or starved to death in dark castles. But through all this they wouldn't recant. Praise God for forefathers with strong convictions to stay true to God. May we also prove ourselves faithful till He calls us home to be with Him. g -Rachel Hostetter DIVISION 4 - PRACTICAL STUDIES INTRODUCTION TO CHILD STUDY We discovered in. our class that child study is no different today from what it was a 'thousand years ago. As an introduc- tion to this course we studied the import- ance of life in general. No human esti- mates can determine the immeasurable, incomprehensible value of life. It is a very solemn thought that once we begin life there is no end for us. Child life becomes very important when we realize that Christ Himself was a child, He magnified child life, the child life ministers to mankind, and the child life is plastic. It is a well-known fact that the waters first cuts the channel in which a r1ver runs and that, once it is cut, the channel controls the river. By the age of thlfty an individual has fashioned the groove in which his life Will' run. There are four sources of child study which are accessible to every student. Observation, which is the most used and best method, can become very interesting lf the observer can keep the child unaware that it is being watched. Those Who can recollect their childhood days are well fitted to understand children. Through literature and science we might also un- derstand the ways and methods of child- ren. Heredity, environment, and personality are the three forces that build a life. The child is born in part, he is made in part, in part he makes himself. Religious education has three phases -- information, worship, and expression. A child is born with a right to know God, and it is the place of the parent and teach- er to see that this knowledge is provided. Children are not born atheists. It is through neglect that they become so. The home, school, and church should work together to build up a religious education. We studied the periods of child life from infancy throughout early, middle, and later childhood and on through ado- lescence. Through this study we have become better acquainted with children and our- selves. -Margaret Shelley f... 'C e . -.-u AJpll w1 YOUTH PROBLEMS T Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for Thou hast created all things, and for Thy plea- sure they are and were created. Using this as our theme verse we 22 students learned that we are created to give honor and glory to God. Brother William W. Wagler brought out 'many ways in which we can do this. First of all, we have to be dedicated Christians and seek His will for our lives. Some of the problems we as youth face are, understanding ourselves and our par- ents, conducting wholesome courtship and and finding the right life companion. We should be very thankful for our Christian parents, those who love us enough to instruct us to go the right way. We learn- ed that when youth becomes social some of the greatest temptations are before them. We must remember to ever keep our minds and bodies in subjection to His will in order to bring glory and honor to Him. Some of the questions that we answered were: When is a person mature enough to date? What kind of persons should we date? Where can we go and what can we do on dates? I'm sure we all appreciate this class and we learned much. -Sallie Stauffer TYPING We gathered each day after lunch in the dining room to learn to work with our fingers. Sister Ida Bontrager was our teacher. Our class was honored with three students. Each day as we opened our class with prayer we became more conscious of the many ways we could use typing to serve our Lord. We used the book Typing Made Simple. We questioned the title at first, but as we moved on from home base we became more ready to agree that typing can be mastered. We went over drills each day and T-R-I- E-D to have a bit of rhythm and speed. Each day we learned four new letters. During the first three weeks we learned to type the alphabet and how to use our margins and margin release, after which we had speed drills. The following three weeks we went on to numbers, symbols, horizontal and vertical centering, tabu- lating, and letter writing. We took this course hoping this typing skill might help us better serve the Lord. -Margaret Martin rusuc SPEAKING It's much more important to have something to say than to know how to say it, Brother Menno Brunk told the four listeners in his public speaking class. But as Jesus told the Pharisees, other undone.' So, we need both form and content in our speaking before a group. - l It wasn't all lecture, though! In fact, there wasn't a whole lot of time left for lecture, as each day each class member gave his speech: perhaps on an apostle, perhaps on a subject of his own choosing, or perhaps by reading a chapter from the Bible. Criticism was also a vital part of this class. With each speech given, crticism came from fellow speech-givers and from Brother Brunk himself. This aspect of our class was to help point out each other's weakness and thus improve one another's speech-giving ability. Be yourself , Brother Brunk remind- ed us. But he also admonished us to culti- vate good habits, so that we could natur- ally do what is proper. Adapting ourselves to our situation was also a point he brought out that applied to us very keenly. We met on the stage of the auditorium and a thin curtain divided our class from that of Tabernacle study which met in the back of the auditorium. One day a week we had the whole auditor- ium to ourselves. On those days our speech giving voices needed to cover a wider area than when we met in the small quarters of the stage. t We learned, practically, some things about public speaking. This is one vital avenue we can use in bringing God's Word and will to others. l -Pat Shank mich 'tree vols, Ilbu.

T'.'-:S0NG'LEADERSHIP.4 -' - Our song 'leadership class, taught by Brother Bontrager, has proven to be a real help to us four students. Personal appearance has much to do with, a good 'song leader. 'He should be awake. His appearance should be neat and clean and his hair neatly combed. A song leader must know the message of the song and convey it to the group by the expression of his face and the move- ment of his hand. He should know the correct tempo and the correct movement of the hand. One, important thing is to have afsong or a personal experience to tell the audience, if he gets into an embar- rassing situation and finds this an appro- priate way out. ' J The song leader should never think of himself but of his audience. He must know the difference between' a hymn and a Gospel song. This 'should be considered every time a song is chosen. To create a proper atmosphere for the type of meeting is very important. i , , These are just a fewpoints of a good song leader. f'Whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of Godl' CI Cor. 10:31bJ. t 1 -Joseph Hostetter up ' RumMENTs or Music -- Four days weekly, nine- industrious stu- dents would gather in room 5 for rudi- ments of music class. In, this class we students could relax and thoroughly enjoy ourselves. Of course, this doesn't mean that we didn't do any work, we gained naiuch knowledge during those class peri- o s. . Sister Bontrager drilled us well to im- plant in our minds a knowledge of music. Learning to read music correctly was, a major object of this course. Naturally, this included learning thepreliminaries, such as the different keys, the distonic and chromatic scales, which give us the thirteen tones of music, proper timingg and other details. Usually, during every class period we would sing, or at least attempt to sing, the notes to various songs. Sometimes the re- sult was harmonious discord . For this reason .Brother Bontrager preferred to have the door of room .5 closed, rather than to hear our melodies floating through the air.. One point which impressed me anew was how wonderfully God has planned music. Truly, God is the Master Musician. -Rhoda Ulrich PRAYER LIFE Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. Rev. 3:20. As Brother Edwin Gehman taught our class on the prayer life, using the book Prayer by O. Hallesby, our lives and souls were enriched. We first considered what prayer is. To pray is to let Jesus come into our hearts. Prayer is also a means of communication and fellowship with our heavenly Father. We were made aware of the fact that it is possible to have a knowledge of God and yet, really not know Him. Prayer is the vital breath of the soul. To pray is to let Jesus glorify His name in the .midst of our needs. We need to see ourselves as helpless creatures, as dust of the ground. We must recognize this before we can really bring ourselves to God. Our helplessness is the most powerful plea which can rise up to the tender Father- heart of God. We also considered faith. We found that prayer and faith cannot be separated. But 'let himask in faith, nothing waver- ing. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and toss- ed. James 1:6. I was made aware of the fact that the child of God can grieve Christ in no worse way than to neglect prayer. When one takes such a step, his spiritual life dies out. Let us all pray, Lord, help my un- belief . Without God we can do nothing. Our total dependence must rest on Him. God has promised in His Word to do exceeding abundantly above that which we are able to ask or think. Let us take God at His promises and He will take care of the rest. c Let's not put a question mark where God puts a period. God is never in a hurry but is always on time. This course is a valuable one, and I recommend it for everyone. . . -Suzie Rogers PERSONAL EVANGELISM Fear God, and keep His commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. Eccl. 12:13. The Lord Jesus, the greatest personal soul winner, gave the commandment, Go ye therefore and teach all nations. We who are joint heirs of the kingdom of God should count it a privilege and pleasure to win souls for the glory of the Father. To be effective in personal work the worker must meet the requirements of the Lord' as found in His Word. He must have the blessed experience of the new birth. He must be filled with the knowledge of His will and Word in all wisdom and spir- itual understanding. He must have a heart compassion as Jesus had, praying without ceasing. He must be both evangelical and evangelistic, and should engage in both preventive and redemptive evangelism. Experiences were shared in personal contacts and in practical application of the Word to the situation in which the Holy Spirit led us. A We received many blessings in pioneer- ing with the Mennonite faith in a new community. F We 17 students were led in class dis- cussion by Brother William Wagler. We were all inspired by his dedication in teaching this subject. Pray ye therefore the Lord of the har- vest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest. Matt. 9:38. Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am Ig send me. Isa. 6:8. -Marvin Reed CHRISTIAN WRITING Five girls are seated in a semicircle waiting for the arrival of their teacher. Some sit in silence rechecking their com- positions. Others converse about the in- spiration, or lack of it, that they had while working on their writing assignments. Let's step more closely to hear what they say. . Wasn't it fun writing descriptions of people? After I got started it went like a whiz ! Yes, Phebe, but the thing I really enjoyed writing was that paraphrase. I had never written anything like it be- fore. But, Eva, don't you dread starting your autobiography? I just don't know where to begin. I felt that way too, Ruth. The thing is to get started. I guess that . . . Here comes the teacher. Let's step aside. Sister Ida walks briskly and erectly. Tucked under her arm is a book by Rudolf Flesch, The Art of Readable Writing. A slight crease in her forehead smooths out while she smiles with understanding and love, as she approaches her students. Her blue eyes look deep into each of their faces. The class begins. The students bow their heads while Sister Ida prays: Our Father in heaven, we thank Thee for the power of words. Guide us in our choice of words as we write. 'Help us 'to express our thoughts in the best way pos- sible so that Thy name may be honored. Be our Teacher and Guide throughout this class period. Through Christ we pray. Amen. With a rustling sound the students leaf through their notebooks and pull out their compositions. Calmly Sister Ida collects them. She begins reading with low, mellow voice. Two hungry boys burst through the door. Dinner is spread on the table. 'Let's eat Steve,' cried Joe Sister Ida stops. A grin spreads 'across her face as she asks, Is Joe going to eat Steve? It sounds like it, doesn't it? Let's put a com- ma between eat and Steve. Do you see what punctuation can do? Sister Ida reads on. After a paragraph or two she stops and asks, How can we reword this sentence to make it mean what you really want it to say? The students give sugges- tions. They are learning from each other's mistakes. Each composition has been read and discussed. The class open their textbooks to see what technique they can learn from Rudolf Flesch. Buzz-z-z, the bell inter- rupts. The class period ends. Notebooks are closed. As the students arise, ideas are already tumbling around in their minds for tomorrow's composition. Sister Ida watches as the girls leave one by one. She prays that each will use the knowledge gained for the glory of God. -Marla Martin lly -I ae-- Hg JW Jo, ass LHS sly. .olf A out md Ier leir mow 'hee our 5 to pos- red. this ray. leaf heir .ects llow xugh able.

It was decided by the extension committee to divide the student body into groups and send them out into the community on foot and in cars. In this was invitations were given to the neighborhood in person. Everyone took part in giving these invitations out. Brother Bontrager urged each group to look for a place open to cottage meetings. In some homes where the residents could not attend services because of physical conditions we asked if we could conduct cottage meetings. Groups of nine or ten brethren and sisters conducted these meet- ings. They' sanga number of songs, had devotion, gave testimonies, and offered prayer. The meetings were appreciated very much and we were thanked for com- ing. We were glad for the opportunity to leave a testimony and to tell about our Saviour. Brother Lester Hoover from Pottsville invited a group of about twenty of us brethren and sisters to go with him to the county prison the evening of December 20. They accepted the invitation. When they arrived they had a short prayer be- fore entering the prison. The group sang songs and gave testimonies. Brother Hoo- ver followed with a short talk on Christ- mas. The service closed with Christmas carols, sung by the group and the prison- ers together. -John Frey CHORUS Singing was a factor of our supreme delight at NBS. Each week-day morning at 10:25, students assembled in the chapel for chorus. Yes, and faculty members seemed as eager for chorus as we students, for the songs sung were the type that spiritually uplift a child of God - that made us feel closer to our Lord as the music swelled and rang through the chap- el. The chorus period also brought won- derful mental relaxation. The book used for chorus was the one compiled by the Bontragers -- Songs That Live. During the first three weeks of the Bible-school term the topics of the songs sung in chorus dealt mainly with the life of Christ from His birth to His resurrec- tion. That outline of songs was followed in the music program rendered on the eve- ning of December 22 - the closing day of the first term of the first year of Bible School at Numidia. A number of the songs sung during the final term of Bible school were also in preparation for the program on January 19, which marked the close of the first year of a Mennonite Bible School at Numidia. One could hardly think of chorus with- out also remembering its directors. Broth- er Bontrager and his little tuning fork were our dynamic leaders the first term. During the final term of Bible, School, Aaron Weaver served as our director - the Bontragers having left for Ohio to supervise at Messiah Bible School. Those weeks at NBS not only deepened our perception of truths from the Word, we also learned to more fully appreciate good music. -Ruby Ulrich GIRLS' DORM LIFE Dorm life is just one of the many exper- iences we enjoy here at Numidia Bible School. Although we don't have much extra room and we must practically live out of suitcases, we really enjoy it. There are eleven girls in the small dorm and twenty-one in the big dorm. The thirty- one empty beds are used for carry-all space. Because of our crowded facilities, we learn to share these things. We also share spiritual blessings. We sometimes get to- gether and discuss our problems or our opinions on certain issues. One night we had a prayer chain. This proved to be a blessing for each one who participated. After a night of heart-searching revi- vals, a group of girls had a special prayer meeting down in the prayer room. After we had prayed, Sister Ida joined us. We asked questions that had been bothering us and also shared some of our exper- iences. Things in the dorm aren't always ser- ious. A few beds have been short-sheeted. Occasionally, after lights out we all gathered in the hall and sang for the fel- lows. Among the songs were a few Christ- mas carols. We received a chorus of thank- yous when we were finished. - Sometimes during study period or after lights out Sister Ida must come up and, in her kind way, remind us that we should be more quiet. Considering everything, I'm sure dorm life has been worth while for all of us. -Mary Ellen Frey EXTENSION COMMITTEE The Extension Committee, made up of Harold Hurst fchairmanl, Ruby Ulrich, and Norma Horst, was organized to direct any efforts from this year's student body to study the layout of this little city of Numidia and its surrounding villages. To alert the 200 neighbors in this town, the student body handed out announce- ments of the revival meetings held by brethren Kenneth Brenneman and Paul Ebersole. We were ,received with much warmth and little opposition. In general, the people were aware of the need of such a school as this and were glad for our interests. Others, however, were unconcerned and rather brisk in telling us they were not interested. Our hearts have been blessed by making these personal contacts. --Norma Horst BOYS' DORM LIFE Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets. Matt. 7:12. - . As we think of dorm life, quite a num- ber of incidents, some good and some not always so good, are remembered. Impres- sing to me was how so many can and did get along, realizing that we all have our likes and dislikes. Surely the difference can be attributed to the fact that we were Christians. A It truly was a wonderful experience to be in a dorm with Christian boys who were interested in the things of the Lord. We enjoyed many blessed experiences. One particular time a dorm brother be- came sick during the night. Brother Ern- est and Brother Ebersole were called. With a few other boys they prayed' that the pain might be relieved. Praise the Lord for answered prayer! One of the highlights of dorm life came when we gathered together in the evening for prayer circle. We would read and meditate upon the Word, have prayer re- quests, and then prayer by whoever want- ed to lead out. It was wonderful to share with each other our past experiences in our Christian lives. I trust each one in our dorm has learned to be, and will be, a better follower of Jesus. -Moses E.

It was also a learning experience for the fellows as they prepared the topics. May we con- tinue to pray that the Lord will nourish the seed that has been sown. -Mary Zimmerman' sure others determined in their hearts to serve the Lord better. These good times went fast and already it was Sunday evening. As Brother Shank spoke to us concerning The Christian War , I am sure we can agree that we must fight with the army of Jesus Christ. Put on the whole armor of God, that we may be able to stand against the wiles of the Devil. Ephesians 6:11. To the most sincere, I am sure this weekend revival has meant much. -Ruth Gingrich Dear fellow students of Numidia Bible School, I wish to extend my appreciation to all of you for your kindness in making it possible for me to attend this Bible School.

Revival is a fanning back to life, a work that begins in the heart of the child of God and results in knowing Christ more fully. ' L We students here at NMBS prayed for this earnestly. We, involved .ourselves in prayer chains which proved to be quite meaningful. We volunteered to take turns praying one-half hour out of our eight hour night, thus having prayers ascend throughout the night. Most of us had nev- er used so much effort to pray, to get up at night and pray alone in the prayer room. However, we received blessings through prayer, and some found we had event more to tell Him than time allowed. Our revival was held two week ends, December 9- 11 and December 15- 17. Kenneth Brenneman from Ontario, Can- ada served as God's messenger the first week end, and Paul Ebersole from Ann- ville, Pennsylvania the second week end. A number from the community responded to the special invitations we handed out, by attending these services. We were all challenged to a deeper, fuller life in Christ. For some it meant rededication, for others confessing sins, even though it seemed small, thus bring- ing total victory. All praise and glory to God for victory in Jesus. Counseling: n The following acrostic and quotations make up some of the choice gleanings from these meetings. 'Do you believe in TV - Total Victory? I do. .Jesus is more than a fire escape.

But then some student will invari- ably come and say, That dinner sure was good! You know, I haven't even been homesick since I'm here because your cooking is so much like Mama's. Thank you for supporting our morale, students! We give God the credit for enabling us to satisfy your physical needs. Also we say Thank You to you dish- washers and waitresses and others who helped prepare and serve meals. We are especially grateful to you numerous kind hearted people who made available all the raw products.

New faces, new teachers, and new cooks, found themselves here at Numidia. We, as cooks, found our way to the kitchen at 5:30 a.m. on Monday, January 1, 1968, wondering what we should do first. The first two days we felt a little discouraged, as we did not know where anything was. By Wednesday we felt much better, as we were beginning to feel at home. We did not have to hunt for the can opener, paring knife, salt, or even wonder which burner belongs to which control button on the stove. Dorothy, with her experience of cooking for a family of six, and Betty Jane, with her experience of cooking for twenty-six at the 'Wilmington VS unit, managed to multiply enough of times to get the right amount of food for all the hungry stu- dents. Audrey came with her helpful sug- gestions from the first term of Bible School, which was very much appreciated. We too appreciate all the food we have to work with in preparing for the average of 78 each meal. Our many Thanks to all those dish- washers, waitresses, and others who have helped in getting the kitchen work fin- ished. We are enjoying our three weeks here in the kitchen very much. We are so thankful that we have a Saviour to look to for our strength each day. May the Lord bless each of you daily look to Him. -Dorothy Meck Betty Jane Heisey Audrey Siegrist L :-xii: , A ' - T52 VVV ,V--,'...5f 5:2-i?VaV:-,V..V.- A -e -- , - --VV .V .VV-V-A 'l -L-ri 's T':,,, ,-, - ' -47- V- -V.,.V.Yi, .VT V- -, 5,VVkVaV1::fi:'2Ef -:-'T.:eV5V,fV5-,f11:-- laggg -'f- -A:---.--V -.
