We may accept someone no matter what they are, or we may accept them only as they meet certain standards. Since God is holy, He cannot accept us just any way. He has set standards that will determine His acceptance of us. The progressive work of the Word of God in our lives, shown in verses 7-9, will make us acceptable before God. All the laws of God, as perfect, will re- store our souls to perfection. The unchangeable testimony of God gives wisdom to the fool. The statutes of the Lord are without flaw, causing the heart to rejoice. The commands of the Lord are undefiled, giving clear sight to the eyes. To fear and reverence God, cleanseth us forever. The sentences of God's judging are right anc true in every aspect. The Word of God is more valuable than gold, because as we heed its warnings and keep its laws, we are kept pure before God. This is one of the rewards of verse 11. Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, my Strength, and my Redeemer? -Paul Strubhar YGUTH IN LIFE We often tend to think we are in the dawn of life. We make plans for tomorrow, next week, next yearg as though life will continue unchecked. But some day God will say, 11Enough,'g and will call us into eternity by death or the rapture. We have no promise of life beyond now. How can we have an awareness of this as we go through life? James 4:15- For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that. An example of this is found in the life of the Apostle Paul. He writes much of Christ's second coming, using the phrase If the Lord willj' as he goes about ministering to the churches. We should not be living only for the satisfaction of the carnal man, but be preparing for the eternal life. As we sense our dependence on, and responsi- bility to God, it will draw us to a pure, sober life which will be testifying of Him. 4'Soon this life will all be over And our pilgrimage will end, Soon we'll take our heavenly journey, Be at home again with friends. Heaven's gates are standing open, Waiting for our entrance there, Some sweet day welre going over, All the beauties there to share? -E.M.B. -Daniel Stover PRINCIPALS' ond MATRONS' MESSAGES DIMENSION GF DEPTH We live in a time of great shallowness of life. Jesus spoke of the seed which fell on stony ground, and because it had no depth of earth, sprung up quickly, but soon with- ered and died. This speaks of a shallow profession of faith in Jesus. True wisdom, Jesus said, realizes the value of depth, digs deep and lays the foun- dation upon the rock. In the Old Testa- ment, God told the Edomite to 'cdwell deep. As we feed on the hidden manna and drink of the hidden springs, we are fortified to face the foe. Peter was told to Launch out into the deep. This demands a prompt, personal response to leave the shallows. Let us re- spond by thrusting our roots deeper in Chris- tian experience, by making our petitions deep, and ask God for the mountain instead of the molehillg for we have yet many of the deep things of God to discover and possess. -Benjamin C. Eshbach 1 A TIME TO LEARN In Ecclesiastes we read, l'To everything there is a season, and a time to every pur- pose under the heaven. Ecclesiastes 3:1. Thinking on these words I was impressed with the thought that youth is the season for learning. The cares and responsibilities are not weighing on the youthful mind as they are later in life. The mind is pliable which makes learning easier and more lasting. What one learns in youth can be used all the rest of life. But learning is not restricted to youth only. We are glad that learning is possible and profitable as long as God per- mits us to have healthy minds. Let us make good use of the opportuni- ties that we have for learning the scriptures, and store them in our hearts. S'Give attendance to reading, to exhorta- tion, to doctrinef' I Timothy 4:13. - Anna Eshbach PERFECT PEACE Isaiah 26:3-4 These words from the pen of Isaiah were uttered during a period of national crisis in Judah. Great and powerful enemy nations were approaching from without, while moral corruption was threatening to destroy them from within. Calamity seemed to press in on every side. In this kind of an atmosphere the prophet Isaiah spoke these words to God's faithful few. Perfect Peace! These words have a tre- mendous appeal while we are here in this restless, confused, and sinful world. They call us to an inner quietness and rest while all about us strife, confusion, and wicked- ness is growing worse and worse. They provide security and refuge in the God of peace in the midst of difficult circum- stances. Whatever the nature of our problems or circumstances, we can face them in absolute confidence and peace of mind, knowing that God will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee, because he trusteth in thee. Trust ye in the Lord forever, for in the Lord Johovah is everlasting strength. -Paul Ebersole 2 TOMORRGW Have you said to yourself, 6'Tomorrow I'll go And speak to the friend that is sad? But some way tomorrow, it just never came, And you never helped him to be glad. Have you said to yourself, '4Tomorrow I'll do That task that so needs to be done?,' But then on tomorrow you did something else, Maybe something that brought you more fun. Have you said to yourself, Tomorrow I'll try To read from Cvod's Word and to pray? But some way tomorrow you let it slip by, And other things crowded the day. ' So oft, the tomorrow of life does not come, So let us be busy today, . Let us do now the tasks we know should be done. Well done, then we'll hear Jesus say. -N.B,W. I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work. John 9:4 - Luella H. Ebersole Count that day lost Whose low descending sun, Views from thy hand No worthy action done. - Office Report Approximately 285 different persons were here at Bible School this year. Our enrollment was as follows: December 29 - January 16 70 January 19 - February 6 97 February 9 - 27 80 March 1 - 19 105 The following states and provinces were represented: Pennsylvania, Alabama, Dela- ware, Florida, Idaho, Illinois, Iowa, Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland, New York, Ohio, Gregon, Virginia, New Jersey, Minnesota, Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, On- tario and Guatemala.

WHEREIN LIETH YOUR What is your life, what would you say? STRENGTH? Why are you here, now long to stay? What are the issues you must meet? Is .there a light for erring feet? q Allow Godls Word to speak. Your life is not your own to use , In selfish ways that you may choose, But God would have you fill the place He chooses, and He'll give you grace. His way is always best. Some say that life is one long game : The Bible gives a different name. It is a race and all who run, Can hear the welcome words, well done? Life is not luck or chance. Life has its puzzling mysteries, And you will face adversities. Submit to God in testings sore, Take courage and His will implore. God deals this way with sons. The span of life is short when we Compare it with eternity. One word describes it- brevityg So face responsibility: The end is drawing near. Life is an opportunity Which brings accountability When once we've left this world behind! So, let us seek today and find In Christ-vitality. -Stanely C. Wine SLIDING As children, we were very anxious for snow so we could slide down the hill on a piece of tin or a sled. Since we are older, we are not as enthused about sliding. How- ever, there are those who seemingly have not conquered that childish ambition. They are too tired to walk back up the hill, so they need to buy a self-propelled sled, called a snowmobile. This can be expen- sive sliding. There is also another sliding of which we need to be aware. We know that the Christian life is a path of uphill struggle. The same as the sled would go downhill, so the enemy of our souls would drag us downhill again. Peter's downfall in Mark 14 should be a lesson to usg lest we find our- selves back to where we will be warming ourselves at the enemy's fire. - Amos N. Hostetter This question was asked Samson by Delilah when the Philistines were endeavor- ing to discover the secret of his strength. Samson was strong and wrought mighty works for God. His strength was not in physical abilities only, but was given by God. He was strong because he obeyed the commandments of God. God had given specified instructions on how his life should be ordered. As long as he adhered to these directives, his strength remained. But his evil associates eventually caused him to violate truth, and he lost his strength. We, likewise, need divine strength for -the work of God. Our own strength is not suf- ficient, and to labor in the arm of the flesh is to be a tool in the enemies hand. Where- in lieth our strength? In a practical love, loyalty, and obedience to the Word of God. Strength I need, strength indeed, That only Thy power can give, Impart to me grace full and free, That only for Thee Illl live. -Boyd Y. Campbell CALL TO HARVEST Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? behold I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields, for they are white already to har- vest. John 4:35 Our Lord spoke these words many years ago, but the fields are still white and ready to harvest. God has called many workers into His fields in the past, but I believe He is calling all of us who have been re- deemed by the blood of Jesus, to work in His harvest fields today. In our day when there is sinfulness every- where and wickedness in high places and many churches going into apostasy, we might ask the question, what can one per- son accomplish? One person cannot accom- plish anything of himself, but as we conse- crate our lives to God, and live in full obe- dience to His will, He can use us to reach some poor lost souls before it is forever too late. Aaron Z. Weaver 3 HQW CAN YE BELIEVE? The Jews of Jesus' day searched the scriptures but did not believe them. Doubt- less they did this as a means of justifying their wrong doing. They established their own code of ethics, then searched the scriptures in the hope of finding some support for their opinions. Thus they made void the commandment of God by their tradition. The fact that the Jews did not believe the scriptures is proven by their failure to come to Jesus for life. Jesus said concern- ing the scriptures, '4They are they which tesify of me? How sad, that in their search- ing they- did not receive the message. Jesus implied that the cause of their fail- ure to believe was the receiving of honour one of another. He also said that they did not have the love of God. Because they sought honour one of another, they not only failed to recognize their own need as sin- ners but also failed to see what God in His love had provided for them in Jesus. Only as we recognize our need of for- giveness do we receive the message of the scriptures. Otherwise, how can ye believe? -Henry M. Weaver GOD'S TEMPLES Scripture informs us Hthere was neither. . . any tool of iron heard at the building site of Solomon's temple. I Kings 617. There- fore each stone and timber had been pre- fabricated for the construction of this great edifice. This reveals the remarkable wisdom of the architect and the extreme accuracy of every workman. We believe the temple represents the triumphant Church. God, the Master Build- er, is presently accumulating and adapting materials for future assembly. We, as lively stones, are part of that spiritual house. I Peter 2:5. God is subjecting every stone to the hammer of His Word. We have had another opportunity where- by the unfinished aspects of our lives may be made suitable for . . . an habitation of God through the Spirit. Ephesians 2:22. Failure to allow God to adapt us now, will cause Him to reject us in the future assembly of the eternal building. May we respond to the grace and adaptations of God. --Ira L. Mast 4 CHARACTER God has created man with distinctive traits and personalities. These are known as one's character. The development of character is effect- ed by exposure to facts, appreciation of reputation, and reverence for God. Genesis 37:2 speaks of Joseph bringing the evil report of his brethren to their father. Joseph was exposed to facts of truth that regulated his appreciation for right. He also appreciated his reputation in Pharaoh's house, and demonstrated a reverence for God. With these principles established in his life, he made wise deci- sions that contributed to the development of his character. We need to desire a character that is like unto God. This will be evidenced by a putting off of the old man and a putting on of the new man. Ephesians 4:22-24. To develop a Godly character we must have peace with God, have a thankful heart, and assimilate the Word. Colossians 3:15-16. Eternity will finally reveal our true character. May we be as the five wise vir- gins: when the call of the bridegroom came, their lamps were full of oil and they' met him with joy. -Ray E. Martin CLEAN HANDS Psalm 24:4 The hands are a symbol of human action. Clean hands speak of a clean life, which is an essential for acceptance with God. The involvements are far reaching and include both an initial cleansing as well as maintaining cleanliness. We need to avoid anything that would cause uncleanness as we live in an ungodly world. Cleanliness involves a pure heart with pure thoughts, attitudes, and motives. Clean hands are totally honest and free from any entangle- ment of evil. The rewards are peace, joy, and right- eousness which are blessings from the God of our salvation. Clean hands also prepare us to meet God in the future. The work of righteousness is peace: and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for everf' Isaiah 32:17 -Enos M. Shank DEVOTION TO GOD S FEAR Stabl1sh thy word unto thy servant who IS devoted to thy fear Psalm 119 38 The fear of God 1n a New Testament sense does not denote being afraid of God but a reverence that comes from a compre hension of who God IS and the conse quences of disobedience In the Old Testa ment economy God dehberately cultivated c1rcumstances to produce fear in his peo ple But in our day God does not keep His fear upon us by terr1fy1ng manifestations but by a knowledge of Him through the Word and the work of the Holy Ghost in our hearts The fear of God 1n a New Testa ment sense IS not opposed to or incompati ble with love but it IS a reverence that 1S born of love I John 4 18 A person devoted to Gods fear will ex press that fear by a reverent sober and meek l1fe His life w1ll be the exact oppo site of a reckless life Our prayer IS that the t1me spent at Blble School by each student th1s year will result 1n a greater and healthier devotion to the fear of God that w1ll then f1nd expression 1n a careful life and an 1ncreased sens1t1ve ness to God's will. Glenn M. Sensenig . SPIRITUAL PRIORITY John, writing to Gaius, says, '4Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as they soul prosperethf, How did John know that Gaius prospered spiritually? Precisely the way we are known today: by the testimony of the brethren. If and as we walk in truth, the quality of our walk cannot be hidden. Looking again, we perceive that the health and material aspects of this beloved brother were sub standard to those of his spiritual inner man. The concrete scrip tural evidence testifies that Gaius had a truly fruitful life. His report shows that he discerned that obedience and spiritual prosperity are inseparable. Do we desire the prosperity that char acterized Gaius? If so, our decisions in life must hinge on their impact on our inner manf, and not upon that which is highly esteemedi' among men. We must find, know, and cherish this truth, for he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever? Edward R. Kerr THE ENGRAFTED WORD Receive with meekness the engrafted Word James 121 The word engrafted means to implant the same process we know as putting a good tw1g into a w1ld tree The first step to grafting 1S to cut away that which IS foreign from that which 1S to be lmplanted Therefore we have a respons1b1l1ty to get rid of all that would hinder the growth of the Word of God The next step 1S careful plac1ng of the engrafted Word It IS only as we allow the sap of the Splflt of God to flow through us that we w1ll be a success and grow on to maturity The pr1mary purpose of the engrafting process IS to produce good fru1t where otherwise there would have been w1ld fruit In the process of the cutting away of the flesh and the reception of the engrafted Word the fruit that 1S received 1S the salva t1on of our souls Paul M Freed ONE THING IS NEEDFUL Martha was not an 1rrel1g1ous person who had no interest 1n s1tt1ng at Jesus feet. She loved her Lord and wanted to please Him. Her problem was, she was cumbered with much serving. Martha becomes a picture of the frustration the Christian faces when the one thing is not uppermost in life. The frustration of Marthals experience becomes evident. The word cumbered suggests being dragged around or being driven. She was driven to the place that she became upset at Mary. Finally, she chided Jesus for not caring that Mary did not help her serve. Rather than agreeing, Jesus commends Mary for sitting at His feet. The commen dation was that Mary was paying primary attention to eternal and spiritual matters, rather than serving the physical needs. He promises Mary that the good part she has chosen will not be taken away. There are many activities in life which are necessary in their place, but can cause us to become encumbered. We need con stantly to sit at the Masterls feet and learn of Him, for this is that good part which Jesus said shall not be taken from us. This will not bring frustration but will rather fill our life with purpose and satisfaction. David Burkholder 9 cc - cc ' ' ' 39 . 99 . , , . . . 9 9 ,, . . - , . 9 . 5 9 .

After death the Lord controls you. He determines which way you will take. The way which you now are choosing, Determines the choice He will make. Salvation is now offered to you. You can respond to Christls gentle call, Or refuse to listen to Him, 'Till He thunders from His judgment hall. You decide while you are living If you will kneel before Jesus now. You can stand in proud defiance, But, every knee to the Lord will bow. You can break yourself on Jesus, Or you can yield to your own lust. The life which has not been broken, Will by Christ, then, be ground into dust. You can lose your life for Jesus. Or you can save it and say, lt's mineln The loss refused in the present Will be loss through eternity's time. '6Take the path of least resistance, You can avoid all the suffering today. Then the future will have tormentsg Suffering, from which you can't get away. Dear Friend, it is 'fnow or later? It will be just a matter of time 'Till those which once were rebellious Will yield to His eternal design. -Harry M. Erb BLUSHING To blush is a sudden spreading of color in a person's face because of excitement due to shame, guilt, confusion, or surprise and sudden joy. It is a physical reaction to an emotional dictum that usually expresses one's feeling without audible words. The prophet Jeremiah 16:15, 81123 la- mented the fact that impenitent Israel had reached a place where they were no longer ashamed of their sins. Their hearts were hardened to where they could mix religion and their sins without any noticeable em- barrassment. They could deal falsely and not bat an eye. This is pride at its worst. 6 Occasionally one finds among young peo- ple those who try to develop and groom their self-confidence to the point where they can hardly be embarrassed. Things that would normally cause one to blush are simply turned into a joke. God is not pleased with that kind of brazenness, and He will not overlook it. There are many circumstances that one faces that should cause us to blush if we are in any way partakers. The shameless nudity, vulgar talk, sensual joking, defam- ing parents, resisting authority, etc., are things that should cause us to blush if we are even amused by them. It is our prayer that each student will cultivate a sensitive conscience so that we can properly react to mistakes, and allow the blushing beauty of true character to shine forth. -Jesse Neuenschwander 1 l11-1:11-1- ENTER THE STRAIT GATE Toward the end of Jesus' Sermon on the Mount, he tells us of the danger of want- ing to walk on the broad road. He says the wide gate and the broad way lead to eternal punishment, yet many choose to go thereon. Jesus says the way that leads to eternal life is the strait gate and the narrow way. The word strait has real meaning to us, giving the idea of a strict, rigid experience. The Bible shows that this uncompromising way is the only life that is really satisfying, safe, and sure. Jesus, inviting us into this experience with him, says I am the door', into this strict, well-disciplined life. In this world we get into some tight places, but our Shep- herd says, I'll take you through safely if you keep your heart and eyes set on me. In this tight place we will by Godfs grace strip off all the things that hinder us, con- tinuing to faithfully serve Him. The final result of faithfulness will be that the glori- ous gate of Heaven will swing open for us. -Sidney Gingrich ON BEING FREE Freedom IS a basic need of mankind God has graciously provlded us with free doms formula Ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free John 8 32 THE APPROVAL OF GOD As fra1l needy creatures of the dust IS It possible to meet the approval of an omni potent all knowing God9 The resounding answer to this quest1on lS YES w1th the prov1s1ons He has given It 1S 1ndeed humb . . . , ' , ' a a a , cc . . 1 a , . H3 . 1 . 0 I 0 - I c 1 ' ' 3 9 7 The preceding verse If ye continue in my word? reveals two elements which are essential to knowing truth. The one is a knowledge of Christls Word. As we feed upon the Word, we find the realities of time and eternity put into a proper per- spective. This then provides us with an appropriate frame of reference from which to direct life's activities. The other element is an obedience to the Word. Intellectual knowledge of God's Word unaccompanied by experiential know- ledge limits our ability to know truth. This in turn excludes us from being made free. Finally, how does knowing the truth make us free? The answer- is found in Christ's equating Himself with Truth. If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed? John 8:36. -Lester H. Weaver HCONSIDER THE WONDROUS WORKS OF GOD These are the words of Elihu in Job 37:14. Job could not understand why a righteous and holy God would allow him to suffer intense physical, mental, and spiritual pressures. Perhaps a worse prob- lem was when his friends falsely accused him of robbing the poor. Job longed for a fair trial: Oh that one would hear me! . . . that the Almighty would answer me! Elihu admonishes Job to consider God's works in nature, His omnipotence, and His great redemptive work at Calvary. In light of all this, we must say as Elihu, Teach us what we shall say unto him, for we can- not order our speech by reason of dark- ness? Job 37:19. There may be times when we suffer dis- couragement or pain. There are times when we will be falsely accused as Job was. We will be scoffed at, or misunderstood: but we do well to realize that God?s works are wonderous. The Psalmist says in Psalm 4, Stand in awe, and sin not: Commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still? - Oliver Hess ling to sense how far we 1n our own strength come short of God?s approval. In II Tim- othy 2:15 we arel instructed to study to show ourselves approved unto God. With the Bible as our textbook, we find that it is possible to continually be under the approval and blessing of God. The ques- tion each must face is whether this is our true condition. With this as our greatest goal in life, we should avail ourselves of opportunities to deepen our understanding of what God requires of us. The study of the Word in personal and family devotions as well as the Sunday School and mid-week prayer meeting is a help in gaining this approval. The exposure to God's Word at Bible School is an asset to knowing and experi- encing this approval. May each of us be assured of God's approval now, that we may have it in eternity. -David N. Wadel TRANQUILITY Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee? Isaiah 26:3. Great peace have they which love thy law: and nothing shall offend them? Psalm 199:165. Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God? Matthew 5:8. The statues of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes? Psalm 19:8. The light of the body is the eye: if there- fore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light? Matthew 6:22. There- fore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, Iwill liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock? Matthew 7:24. Blessed are they that dwell in thy house: they will be still praising thee? Psalm 84:4. How calm and peaceful to live in the sphere of Christian tranquillity! -Walter R. Newswanger 7 MUSIC APPRECIATION The development of oneis musical taste and appreciation is largely a matter of environment and discipline. Occasionally, one's musical interests must be improved in order to meet the standard which the Bible and the church are promoting. Proper musical interests are closely re- lated to our concept of God and worship. 6'God is a Spirit: and they that worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth. John 4:24. The real value of sing- ing is realized as we are led into a genuine worship experience. This experience is pri- marily a heart response, rather than a lip expression. The fleshly desire is to develop singing interests that satisfy the carnal appetite. This can be done by selecting music that has a strong emotional emphasis. This places singing on a mere human level, thereby hindering the spiritual appeal of God. We should be developing appreciation for music that strengthens our spiritual life: thereby bringing honor and glory to God. -Eby Burkholder THE HULTRA SOUND', REPORT This is an ultra sound cardiogramf' Dr. Coats explained. This machine will pick up sounds in your heart which cannot be heard. The sounds will then be recorded by printing them on a screen, helping us to discover the inside facts of the heart? Quite an invention, isn't it? It will help the professional man to study the inner condi- tion of the heart without the intra-vascular X-ray approach, which is quite cumber- some. From the beginning of time God has re- vealed the inner facts of our spiritual hearts. He observes conditions that man could never detect, and places it in the Bible from Genesis to Revelation. But man is not ex- citably impressed about this display. The reason for it is that man is generally much more interested in physical discoveries re- lated to the present, than in the spiritual and eternal. The secret therefore to be able to discern God's report of man's heart, is 8 the desire to know. This desire grows out of a fear of God. All other barriers are re- moved, but this one stands irrespective of class, creed or color, professional or non- professional, rich or poor. We conclude therefore that because of truth learned at N.B.S., tif in the fear of Godl we can know our hearts as God sees them. It therefore calls us to added precau- tions as we face life in view of eternity. For the Word of God is . . . a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. ' Hebrews 4:12. -Isaac K. Sensenig YOUTH IN THE YOKE It is good for a man that he bear the yoke in his youth? The Bible refers to two different yokes: a burdensome yoke, and a blessed yoke. Satan's yoke is very burdensome and im- possible for man to remove. The victim desiring freedom is helpless because the yoke has no provision for him to remove it. Thus, welcome are the words declaring that God's method of removal is to break the yoke from off the neck of the surren- dered carrier. Christ then invites them to harness up with Him. Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest .... For my yoke is easy and my burden is light. Matthew 11:28-30. Why is it good to take on this new yoke in our youth? Three obvious reasons are: 1. The young ox is more easily trained than the old ox. 2. It spares youth from wasting his best years, giving him opportunity to channel his energies for eternal good. 3. Bearing the blessed yoke during youth provides present rest and satisfaction. Dear youth, never make the decision the people of Judah made, .in breaking off the yoke of wood and replacing it with a yoke of iron, which speaks of painful mastery. How beautiful to see youth working in Christis yoke which is easy and light. -Carl Sensenig IS THERE ANY WORD FROM THE LORD9 Jeremiah 37 17 Through the ages the message of the Lord has come through various men and means In these last days the Son and His message have become the medium of Divine Revelation This word from the Lord comes to us as a privilege that issues into responsibility In order to properly benefit we need to have a growing appreciation for its message When men or churches lose their fervent interest in the Word they eventually lose access to a proper understanding Even while they have the scriptures 1n their Mary Magdalene on the Resurrection morning talked with Jesus but supposed he was the gardener She supposed Jesus was still dead and that His body had been moved to another place Not until He called her name d1d she know Him To have scriptural assurance of salva t1on we must know Him and know where He IS not just suppose we know Him Thank God He IS our Redeemer and High Priest and Intercessor and by faith l1ves in our hearts May we faithfully wait for the Son to take us home All w1ll know Him when they hear Him call their name on the Judg ment day but for many It Wlll be too late Paul L Witmer C6 ' . 1 .

Both those who expound truth and they who hear, face the responsibility to main- tain its message by consistent application to their lives. Our present response to truth bears upon our future access to it. If today the Word of the Lord is lightly esteemed, tomorrow it may be lost. The prophet Jeremiah declares, There isv a word from the Lord. Thus with the He- brew writer, see that ye refuse not Him that speakethf' Hebrews 12:25. -David G. Weaver SUPPGSITIONS As they were traveling home from the feast at Jerusalem, Jesus' parents supposed that he was in their company. Due to neg- lect, they traveled one day before they dis- covered he was missing. Returning to the city they found him in the temple. Today people neglect to read and study the Word of God. Many go to church but fail to worship in spirit and in truth. Multi- tudes of professing Christians are walking the broad way, taking along everything the flesh desires. Few allow the great Surgeon to operate on their hearts. They are satisfied to give him second place, rather than having him rule without a rival. In spite of this they suppose that Jesus is in their company. - l.1 HTHERE IS A LAD HERE The lad about whom we read in the Gospel account was at the right place at the right time. For the many lads who have been here at Bible School-and the ladies too-was not their being here likewise providential? Truly, it was. They were born at the right time and place to enter this God-made-possible experience. In the natural sense, the lads who were here did not need to bring a lunch. But each student brought something compar- able to the lunch of that lad. What they brought had been Hpackedn for them by others and has become uniquely their own. Will they selfishly keep it? Will they humbly give it over? And to whom will they give it? Bible School is a good place to settle these issues. Where that lad was, the Lord was also. Andrew became the link between the lad and the Lord. Many lads owe much to the Andrew-like work that has been done for them at home and at Bible School. Great is the need for men and youth of Andrew- like character. Let us cultivate the ability to see the Hlunchli that others are carrying. Wherever there is a lad, a lunch, and the Lord, the stage is set for a miracle. The lunch that is given to the Lord is miracu- lously multiplied! It yet remains to be seen what the Lord will do with the lunches,' that were brought to Bible School. -Merle Ruth 9 FRUIT BEARING Jesus makes it clear that the Father is glorified when we bear much fruit. He showed his disdain upon uselessness when he cursed the fruitless fig tree, even though the time of figs had not yet come. He also condemned the salt which had lost its sa- vour, and said it was good for nothing, but to be cast out and to be trodden under foot of men. In John 15 we are told that the branches that do not yield any fruit will be cut off and burned. The servant who had only one talent and justified himself for not using it properly, was called a wicked and slothful servant, and was to be cast into outer darkness. Jesus also asked whether we light a can- dle to put it under a bushel and under a bed, or on a candlestick where it can give light to all. The teaching is evident that we need to be useful or we,cannot be kept in his favor. The first step is to deny self and find our strength in daily fellowship with Christ. - Herbert Ebersole THE ABUNDANT LIFE We live in a society where the average person has access to an abundance of things. Few people, however, have come to experience the abundant life. I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. John 10:l0b. This abundant life is possible because God's great love has moved Him to provide an abundance of grace- grace sufficient to save the vilest sinner and keep him saved. Jesus said, I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture. The only way to experience this abundant life is through a personal relationship with Jesus, the door. This intimate relationship will cause us to follow Him and flee from the voice of strangers. The abundant life is characterized by a deep, settled peace and joy that abides in our hearts, regardless of outward circum- stances. It is the result of knowing Him in whom are hid all the treasures of wis- dom and knowledge, and is Himself the door to the heavenly pastures. -Clarence Wenger 10 BOLDNESS Acts 4:13 ffNow when they saw the bold- ness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marvelled: and they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus? Boldness was characteristic of the testi- mony of the early Christians. We notice an openness, a freeness, and a joyfulness in evidence as the disciples proclaimed the Gospel message. They felt no restraint in the presence of mockers and opponents. This is a quality that should be in posses- sion of every Christian today. This can only be realized as we have contact with Jesus and His Word. We have a message of which we do not need to be ashamed. God meant that the Bible be followed by everyone. Therefore we can say with Paul, For I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believeth. We believe we have a very unique place to fill in God's program today. May this quality of boldness be in evidence as we meet with those who once knew the truth, but no longer embrace it. May the Christ- life shine in us as it did in Peter and John. -John K. Sensenig BEWARE OF OUR ADVERSARY There is a great spiritual battle going on in the world. If we could see the spirit world around us, we would all be frightened. The forces of Satan are all around like an angry mob bidding for our obedience. But thanks be to God for the all-embracing power of the promise, that He will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able, but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear itil In Ephesians 6:11-17 the apostle gives us the proper equipment-the whole armor of God. Let's remember, just one part of the armor left out can prove to be fatal. Re- member also that there are no provisions for defeat in the battle, the armor covers only the front. Let's keep the armor bright,,' but keep it on. A polished armor hanging on the wall will not save us in the day of battle. A praying heart and watchful eyes will never be taken unawares. - Phares Martin CHILDREN OF WISDOM Jesus said that 'cwisdom is justified of all her childrenf' Luke 7:35. This statement indicates that wisdom has reproductive powers. The context of the scripture re- veals thatthe offspring of wisdom is real- ized only when there is a conception of truth and faith. Truth sown in a faithless seedbed does not germinate. Faith apart from truth is barren. When truth is received by faith and faith embraces truth, life en- sues. This process is necessary both to produce and to maintain spiritual life. The purpose of intensified Bible study is to perpetuate this process. The centurion, the widow, John, the publicans and the sinfulwomen of this chapter embraced truth with faith. Therefore they either became or continued to be the offspring of wisdom. In contrast, the Pharisees and lawyers rejected the counsel of God against themselves -and therefore remained the children of folly. As we go forth from our encounter with the word of truth, we will also justify tex- emplifyb that of which we are the children. - Donald E. Nolt TD BE UNDERSTODD The problem of being understood is as old as our first parents. Basic to communi- cation is our use and command of the lang- uage. Even with a common language and un- der the most ideal circumstances, there are barriers to good communication. The pre- cise meaning of words and phrases is often misunderstood by others. Jesus said, By thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned. Therefore, effective com- munication and the proper use of words is a high art, and something we should give constant attention too. In the face of con- stant change in the language, we should realize that none of us are capable of reach- ing all men. For example, not many of us are genuinely qualified to reach the street gangs or the 'fhippie society of our times. However, this should not discourage us from pro- claiming the truth of God's Word with conviction. May God grant us the wisdom needed to teach and preach with love and com- passion, that those who have ears to hear may hear and understand. -Edwin H. Cvehman WHAT SHALL I D0 THEN WITH JESUS? Pontius Pilate asked this question nearly two thousand years agog partly in response to the request by the crowd for the release of Barabbas, but perhaps also because he realized he had an unusual and innocent defendant on his hands. Pilate attempted to dispose of this ques- tion by simply washing his hands. We be- lieve that every responsible human being that is confronted with the person of Christ, must answer this same question. It is a question of either crucifying again, or hav- ing Him as our Lord. People attempt to soothe their conscience by attending a church service, giving to various causes, or even engaging in the work of a church or Sunday School. They may claim the heritage of Christian parents. They may even claim membership in a nominal church, but the question still faces them and us, What shall I do then with Jesus?,' We have only two choices, and we can- not simply wash our hands of the matter like Pilate tried to do. What have you done with Jesus? -Milfred Martin SPIRITUAL HEALTH Proper diet, exercise, and rest are re- quired for good health. Our spiritual food has a direct effect on our spiritual health. Israel ignored the righteousness of God and went about to establish their own right- eousness. Ignoring parts of the inspired Word of God is feeding on an improper diet. This will cause exercise in the wrong avenues. The boundary for our exercise is found in I Timothy 4:7 g Exercise thyself rather unto godlinessf, Showing Christlikeness to the world is a full time responsibility. The Christian has no part in the enter- tainment world, but: be ye holy for I am holy. I Peter 1:16. Assurance of sins forgiven, having victory over temptations, and obedience to the Word is a restfull experience for the Chris- tian. c'But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil? Proverbs 1:33 - Ornan Bauman 1 1 THE WATCHED ONES Children often go through a stage in life that they prefer to have people Watching them. They, as showoffs, do very strange things to get the desired results. The carnal mind would like to retain some of that de- sire. But for the Christian this should not be our interest. I Corinthians 13:11. Yet we accept the sobering fact that we are a watched people. First, we recognize that God sees us. The eyes of the Lord are in every place, beholding the evil and the good. Proverbs 1513. It is evident that Satan is also observing our ways. Job 1:18. He observes with the intent to tempt and destroy. The world is watching. We are to let our light shine before men that they may see, and glorify God. Our fellow brethren and sisters are watching. HBe thou an ex- ample of the believersf, I Timothy 4:12b. Without a doubt, we are a watched people. Let us be challenged with the truth of what is being observed, as the watching will be continuing throughout time. May we be worthy of our calling. May God see our obedience. May Satan see our loyalty to God. May the world see Christ in us. May our brothers and sisters see con- sistency. ' May the nominal Christian see the full gospel in practice. -Joseph Wadel Blessed is the man who, having nothing to say, abstainsfrom giving as wordy evidence of the fact. Silence ana' modesty are very valuable qualities in conversation. ADMINISTRATION SECOND TERM TEACHERS f 1 T l L Y i 1 W W L HRST Q TERM 5 1 TEACHERS 3 1 v i T i UMRD TERM TEACHERS 13 N K !

This is a book of many types. One of the most outstanding is the Passover feast, which was to be held yearly to continually remind Israel of the great deliverance God wrought in leading them out from the bondage of Egypt. This was a type of the Christian being delivered from the bondage of sin by the shed blood of Jesus. The last part of the book deals with the building of the tabernacle, wherein we also see many types of Christ, the church, and Christian experience. - Stephen Martin JOSHUA The theme of the book of Joshua is, The conquest and division of the land of Canaan. The key verse is found in 1:8. This verse was the basis for victory in their day and is also for us today. The book is divided into three parts. First: Conquest of the Land, chapters 1-12. Here we saw them sending spies into the land, the miraculous crossing of the Jordan River, and the mighty hand.of God at work driving out their enemies. Secondly: The Division of the Land, chapters 13-21. Again we noticed God at work in providing a place for the faithful Levites. Also we saw the faithful spy, Caleb, Daniel Torkelson RUTH AND ESTHER Ruth is a type of whom? What drew her to Godis people? Whom did Boza typify? What were the responsibilities of the kins- man redeemer? These were among the many questions answered in our book study of Ruth. Ruth typifies any unsaved person who comes to Christ. She was at- tracted mainly by Naomiis life. Boaz typified Christ by fulfilling two responsibilities of the kinsmang redeeming his deceased rela- tivels land, and raising up seed to his rela- tive's name. The Book of Esther is a picture of syner- gism: the cooperation of man with God in obtaining redemption. We learned that proud Haman could be paralleled to the flesh. Mordecai was in some ways a type of the Spirit. After Esther's intercession, the law of Haman fthe fleshl could not be disannulled, but the law of Mordecai fthe Spiritl superseded it, and the Jews were victorious over their enemies. -John Siegrist ill Let us, then, be up and doing, with a heart for any fateg Still achieving, still pursuing, Lean to labor and to wait. 21 PROVERBS Proverbs is a book of practical applica- tions covering nearly every area of our day- to-day life. Its wise sayings were written and gathered not only by Solomon, but also by Hezekiah's servants, Agur, King Lemuel and other wise men. The theme of the book is wisdom. The basic attitude required to receive wisdom is a proper fear of God. tProverbs 9:lOJ It is rather difficult to categorize or out- line the diversified thoughts contained in Proverbs. However, ideas concerning our speech and our relation to material things are quite predominant. Other areas touched are parent-child relationships, the use of strong drink, and the relation of men to women. Some proverbs, such as, 6'My son, if sin- ners entice thee, consent thou noti' tProv- erbs IZIOJ, are quite simple, while others might be more easily understood by putting them in our own terms. One example- '6The sluggard snores while the wise man choresf' After this study, we should certainly be prepared to face life more wisely than we did before. -J. Stanley Bauman 1-.llln-1-1 JOEL, AMOS, OBADIAH These books are among the minor proph- ets. Joel was one of the earliest of the prophets of Judah, but little is known about him. Amos was also a prophet of Judah during the time of King Uzziah, but his mes- sage was to Israel. Obadiah prophesied of the doom of Edom, the decendants of Esau. Each book warns of God's judgment on disobedience and rebellion, portraying the destruction it will bring. Various prin- ciples of judgment were brought out such as: the judgment of God is complete, it is severeg and God is no respector of persons. Along with the prophecy of judgment comes the plea for repentance. It was God's foremost desire that the judgment would draw the people back to himself. The prophecy of salvation and future restoration of Israel is also brought out in comparison to the judgment and destruc- tion. -James Sensenig 22 ISAIAH The theme of this book is seen in the meaning of the name Isaiah, Jehovah is Salvationf' In a time when His people had become involved in sin, God was pointing them to the Saviour. This represents one purpose of the book, to arrest the people of Judah from the inevitable destruction which was coming. This prophecy, spoken particularly to Judah in her declining years, still has a mes- sage for us. Por all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still. Isaiah 9:l2b. Chapters 1-34 speak of Denunciation and Desolation with inserts of Messianic hope. Chapters 36-39 have a historical breakg and chapters 40-66 are prophecies of Redemp- tion, and restoration from exile. Isaiah 57:15, the key verse, speaks of God dwelling in the high and holy place and yet in the hearts of the humble and contrite ones. This is only possible through the Key Person of the book, the Lord Jesus Christ, and His work on Calvary, pictured in chap- ter 53. We need to see God and His glory, as pictured in chapter 6, and our own sin- fulness. As one responds by forsaking sin he is in a position to be called into ser- Vice by the Lord' -Barbara Carpenter TABERNACLE STUDY After going through this study, I am con- vinced that the whole tabernacle is bound up in many types. These types proved to be very meaningful to my own Christian experience. One of the first things that we noticed in the layout of all the furniture was that it formed a cross! This would speak of Christ and his great work of redemption. As we looked closely at each part of the taber- nacle, we could see the beauty of Christ reflected. It was interesting to notice that many of the basic things contain a certain mean- ing, for example, the colors: blue-heav- enlyz purple-royalty, scarlet-blood, and white-righteousness. Also the materials used portray a special meaning such as: gold-divinity, silver-redemption, brass- judgmentg and wood-humanity. With these few basics, we learned many valuable truths! - - David Ebersole I I TYPES AND SHADOWS In our study of this subject we learned that the word type carries the meaning of representing that which is still future. Other words that have similar meaning would be figure, form, and pattern. ' In determining a true type, it must be a true picture of the person it represents, must be of divine appointment, and always prefigures something future. A number of types we discovered are these: I Adam, Isaac, Moses, David, Boaz, and Melchizedek are types of Christ, The ark, Rebekah, and Ruth being types of the church, . Types of the Holy Spirit are wind, water, and Abrahamls servant, The life of Samson is a type of back- sliders, Enoch is a type of the Christian, and Canaan is a type of the Christian experi- ence. This study should convince us that the Bible is true and inspired. -Roseann Deiter MARK Markis account of the life of Christ is very interesting. With Roman readers in mind, he clearly presents Christ as the all- powerful Son of God by vivid demonstra- tions of His power over sickness, death, nature, and devils. Christ is pictured as a very busy man, going about from place to place with scarcely any time for rest. Thus Christ shows His great compassion for the needs of humanity. Mark is thought by many to have received his information from Peter. Sometimes called John Mark, he was a companion of Peter on missionary travels. Others feel that Mark was an eyewitness of Jesus' miracles, being of the seventy disciples sent out by Jesus, and of the 120 upon whom the Holy Ghost was outpoured. We have no reason to doubt the truth and authenticity of the book. Rather, we do well to read and take heed to it. - Clifford Weaver SERMON ON THE MOUNT The life of a teacher will have a great effect on the response to his teaching. Jesus, by living out His sermon encourages us to do the same. Jesus was continually blessing those who obey Him. He blesses those who maintain proper attitudes in life, those who endure persecution for righteousness, sake, and many more areas of life. Christ spoke of the Christian as salt to the earth, having a purifying and preserv- ing effect on it, and as the light of the world to point men to Christ. He told of His purpose of coming into the world: to strengthen and fulfill the law. Under the old law God dealt with the end of sin, and under the new He deals with the beginning, the very thought of sin. Let us apply these principles to our life that we may be firmly grounded when the storms of life come, that we be not soon shaken. -James H. Mack JOHN In this class we discovered the gospels are not just four gospels, but they are a fourfold gospel. In Matthew we see Christ as King, in Mark we have Christ as ser- vant, Luke shows Christ as the Son of Man, then John portrays Christ as the Son of God. In the Gospel of John we enter into the very presence of God. We also see the Diety of Christ. Christ gives a more com- plete revelation of himself and of God in this gospel, than in any of the other gospels. Over one half of the space in this book is given to the events of Christ's life and His sayings during the last days of His ministry. The goal of the book is found in 20:31, But these are written, that ye might be- lieve that Jesus is the Christ, thc Son of God, and that believing ye might have life through His namef' -Fred Miller 23 I CORINTHIANS I Corinthians was written by Paul to the church at Corinth when he was at Ephesus. Corinth, a seaport, was the political capi- tol of Greece. At that time it was under the Roman empire. It was a very wealthy and morally corrupt city, therefore, the church was influenced by its surroundings. Because of these corrupt influences Paul wrote to encourage the faithful believers, and to correct the many problems that arose there. Some of the problems were fa tions, immorality, going to law with another, idol worship, polluted persons partaking of communion, false apostles, problems of marriage, lack of order in worship ser- vices, the woman's part in the church, and heresies about the resurrection. Chapter 13 gives us the basic principle that helps to avoid and correct these prob- lems. This principle is a proper love for God and our fellowmen. Therefore my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord? I Corinthians 15:58 -Lois Carpenter II CORINTHIANS The second epistle of the Apostle Paul to the church at Corinth was written less than one year from the time he wrote the first epistle. Paul was in part defending his apostleship because there was appar- ently a minority group in the church who wanted to discredit it. We also get a behind-the-scenes aspect of the ministry of the church. The Apostle Paul continually shows his great love and concern for the church. He suffered much in their behalf. He stressed the comfort he received from God during this suffering. God always gives us grace equal to our suffering. Z4 II Corinthians 6:17 is one of the many places God's Word tells us to be separate from the world. We also see the Apostle Paul exercising the church's God-given authority to dis- cipline. May we, through this epistle, learn to appreciate the ministry of our church. We should then support them as they fulfill the Gospel commandments. -Richard E. Mummau ,,li1 EPHESIANS Ephesians, one of Paul's epistles, was written to a large audience. Paul makes no corrections in this book, but rather es- tablishes truth. While its sister book, Co- lossians, emphasizes Christ as the head of the church, Ephesians shows the church as the completing counterpart of this head. This book naturally divides itself into two main sections, of which the first, Chap- ters 1-3, deals with doctrinal truth. The second division, Chapters 4-6, reveals the practical everyday walk of the Christian. In this book Paul projects the universal vision of the church which we need today. He speaks of God's spiritual blessings to His church which is formed of both Jews and Gentiles. As the different members use the various God-given gifts in a unified effort, God's glorious workings are seen through the church. Paul also speaks of the new obligations which are ours as Chris- tians, the putting off of the sins of our past life, and the putting on of the graces of the Spirit. As a capstone to the teachings of this book, Paul concludes with a description of the Christian's armor, even though we strive against principalities and powers, this armor when put on will give us victory through our Lord Jesus Christ! - Edith Martin HEBREWS We find that this book is primarily try- ing to lead the Jewish believers from a formal knowledge of Christ to a mature and complete experience. This book can be divided into three areas. The first, Chapter 1 through 4:13, is deal- ing with the Preeminence of Christ. We notice that Christ is superior to the prophets in that God revealed himself in times past through man, but now through a perfect being. Again we notice that Christ is superi- or to the angels in that the angels were ministers or messengers to man, but Christ is our redeemer. The next division, Chapter 4:14-10:18, could be entitled the Priesthood of Christ. It involves His qualifications, person, and ministry. In His qualifications He was call- ed and complete. His person was undefiled as portrayed in 7 :26. In His ministry He was the mediator of a better covenant. Finally, in Chapters 10-13, we are chal- lenged with the Provisions through Christ. We notice that now we can be a sanctified, complete peopleg with access to eternal glory, if we appropriate His provision to our lives today. -Alvin L. Eberly JAMES This book is a corrective letter written by James to the dispersed Jews. Faith is the central theme throughout the book which reminds us of the proofs and out- come of faith. Strong teaching is given on many areas of life as they relate to faith. James begins by dealing with tempta- tions and external problems. He shows the great importance of the word and right atti- tudesg and clarifies the need of works. The serious aspects of our speech, and the right kind of wisdom are also portrayed. Further on, the life of faith and its hindrances are his deep concern. Finally he reminds us of the Lordls return and the value of pray- er. The book closes by bringing out the aspect of service. May we each have a living faith that goes forth in service for the Master. -Esther Herr Be patient therefore, brethern, unto the coming of the Lord. SECTION Il -BIBLE DOCTRINE DOCTRINE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT During the first three week term, stu- dents were privileged to become better acquainted with this Person who is a mem- ber of the triune Godhead. His divine at- tributes are vividly portrayed by such sym- bols as a dove, fire, water, wind and oil. We discovered His personality and beautiful role in the program of God. Since the day of Pentecost, the Spirit has become the glorifier of Christ, the indwell- er of believers, the administrator of the church, and the executor of the great com- mission. After we experience His convict- ing work as an individual, the most satis- fying result is His comfort and guidance which becomes ours at conversion. Our testimony, therefore, is with the apostle Paul, where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. ' -Timothy N. Martin 25 NONRESISTANCE When we think of nonresistance. usual- ly we think of non-participation in war. But nonresistance is more than this, it is a way of life for the Christian. It includes the proper use of the tongue, honest busi- ness dealings, proper home and communi- ty relations, and loving even our enemies. Nonresistance is not an Old Testament but a New Testament teaching. God hon- ored those who destroyed the enemy at His command under the old dispensation. But today we do not take revenge on our enemies. f'Vengeance is mine, I will repay, saith the Lord. The world's counterfeit for Biblical Non- resistance is Pacifism. Pacifism means- do not use violence or harm anyone. But we, as members of the kingdom of heaven, put into practice the teaching of our Lord, that we 'shave love one to another. May this study help us to love our ene- mies, and pray for them which despiteful- ly use us. - Ruth Torkelson DOCTRINE OF UNITY Unity is a divine teaching dicretly from Godls Word. It consists of being one with God and with other believers. The basis of unity is fellowship with Christ. I John 113. In our study we discussed many different areas of unity: the unity of the Trinity as it relates to salvation, the church, the crea- tion, God's divine Revelation, and many others. We learned that unity is not neces- sarily uniformity in every situation. Just think for a moment what this world would be like without unity. It certainly would be a place of disorder and confusion. We can see God's over-ruling hand all about us, in the balance of nature, by the wonderful way He created the human body, and many other ways. Ti.-is study has been a real value in help- ing us to understand more fully what unity is, and what all is involved in it. Psalm 133:l, HBehold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity! -Rebecca Rudolph 26 SEPARATION f'But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar peo- ple, that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous lightf' I Peter 2:9 Christians are called to honor and glori- fy God, but the majority of the world, is worshipping the creature more than the Creator? Since Christians and the world have different goals, their life styles will be different and separated. The principle of separation for God's people is not an end in itself, but rather the means to.an end, that we in daily living might shew forth the praisesl' of God. Separation in practical daily living in- volves our relationship to business life, ed- ucation, worldly organizations, attire, and all constituted authority. Our speech, liv- ing standards, and all human relations need to be under the Lordship of Christ. The separated life is characterized by love, contentment, temperance, and an an- xious awaiting for the time when we will be separated from this ungodly world to ever be with the Lordf, -James K. Nolt ORDINANCES Ordinances are traditions that have been taught, practiced, and handed down to us by our spiritual forefathers. They are ob- ject lessons to help us better understand basic spiritual truths. Their formal obser- vance has no saving merit in itself, but they prove to be a blessing to us as we practice them. The purpose of the ordinances is to main- tain our appreciation and remembrance of what Christ has done for us, and to help us realize our responsibility to our brother. The observance of the ordinances also helps to maintain a pure and orderly church fel- lowship. The preservation of the ordinances will be accomplished as we practice them in their consistent forms, with a clear ex- pression of the spiritual qualities behind them, such as love, submission, and broth- erly assistance. He that hath my command- ments, and keepeth them, he it is that lov- eth mef, John 14:21 -Simeon V. Rudolph SATAN AND HIS WORKS t'Lucifer, son of the morningw was created by God in all perfection and beauty, his very name meaning day star. But of himself he decided, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God. . .I will be like the most High. QIsaiah l4:13,14fv One third of the angels of God joined him in this rebellious act which gave him the name Satan, mean- ing adversary. Since our holy God could not tolerate sin in His presence, He cast them out of heaven, and prophesied of their final doom. Thus being filled with fury, Satan set out to hinder God's works in every conceiv- able way. Laying his eyes upon man, the crown of Godls creation, he entered into a serpent and approached Eve with the question, Yea, hath God said?,, To his great delight, she yielded to his temptations of disobedience, lust and pride. God en- tered the scene and promised a Redeemer for fallen man, which would bruise Satan's head. Today that promise is fulfilled in Jesus Christ, but Satan continues his work with exceeding zeal, knowing his time is short. Therefore let us not sleep as do othersg but let us watch and be sober? CI Thessa- lonians 5:65 A -Fred Carpenter i,L,,i1.i-1-11-' ETERNAL ABSOLUTES In studying eternal absolutes, we as fin- ite man can get but a glimpse of all eter- nal and absolute truths. Eternal means infinite duration, and absolute means un- changeably definite. Through God's eternal Word, man can truly behold God Omnipotent as the sole Creator and Sustainer of the entire uni- verse, and yet a personal Father to his children. God is omniscient in that He knows everything, even our thoughts afar off. His omnipresence caused the Psalmist to ask, whither shall I flee from thy pres- ence?,' Truly, God is everywhere. We become God's children by accepting the mediatorial work of God the Son, and are kept in personal communion with Him by the eternal Holy Spirit. The Christianis adversary, Satan, is also an eternal absolute, and he, with his angels, 1S sealed to eternal destruction. Godls angels also as eternal absolutes are minis- tering spirits to those that are heirs of 'eter- nal salvation. Man as another eternal absolute, has choice of his eternal destiny. May we then as God-fearing people be a part of God's eternal kingdom. -James Weaver -l ' Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today, and forever. ,iL. FGRMATIGN AND INSPIRATION OF THE SCRIPTURES The Bible is the standard of truth by which we judge what else is true. It is a col- lection of authorized books. As we realize this, we will maintain a right attitude to- ward God. ' In our class we considered what the Bible says about itself. A few things we found were: it is the truth, it cannot fail, it is powerful, and most important, it is the Word of God. The inspiration of the scriptures refers to how it was given. We studied various theories of inspiration and learned why we accept verbal inspiration as the correct theory. We spent some time in studying the struc- ture, progress and unity of the Bible and were all impressed by the way it fit togeth- er. We all saw the reliability of the King James Version as we compared it with other versions and saw the way that lt as endured the test of time. In this study our faith has been strength- ened and we have a much deeper appre- ciation for the Word. -Mahlon E. Neuenschwander 27 DOCTRINE OF ANGELS The angels were created by God. They are subject to Christ, yet superior to men. Although they are spiritual beings, they possess the power to appear to men in a bodily form. The angels are personal beings. Those named in scripture have masculine names. It was interesting to notice that while the angels of God are holy, they are very much interested in the salvation of sinful men. They are active in the protection of Godls people and the innocent. Job's hedge seems to have been a hedge of angelic pro- tection. The angels are active in heaven praising the holiness of God. They will be the-reapers in the end of the world. Satan's demons are fallen angels. Their goal is to oppose God and to deceive the Christians. Because of their evil super- human power, may we avoid anything that is questionable. God will give His angelic protection as we are faithful. The One in whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowl- edge, will in eternity grant to us a perfect understanding of these celestial beings. -Roland R. Gehman SECTION III CHURCH HISTORY ond MISSIONS MENNONITE CHURCH HISTORY For whatsoever things were written aforetime, were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope. Romans 15:4. This was the key verse for our stu- dies in Mennonite Church History. We looked briefly at the various stages of the growth, spread, and decline of the church, beginning at the Day of Pentecost and con- tinuing on to the present day church. We also looked at the Bible principles which our forefathers believed and stood for, and the persecution they suffered as a result. This served in most cases to increase and purify the church. This study challenges us to stand true to the faith which through much suffering has been passed on to us. - Willis Mast CHURCH EXTENSION Lengthen thy cords, and strengthen thy stakes, Isaiah 54:2b, was our text as we 28 met for twelve inspirational class periods. We do not believe in separating the church from the mission, but rather we say, the church in mission. With this concept, the churches at home are also made to feel more responsible. In order to be effective in church exten- sion, we must have a burden for souls, which will be gained when we realize that everyone needs the same gospel as we, and that those who do not accept the truth will be eternally lost. The church is responsible to send out qualified workers. We should never seek to go out on our own, but rather wait for the church to sense the need and choose out workers to fill the need. The church that is active in outreach work according to scriptural direction re- mains sound the longest. Those not in- volved will grow spiritually indifferent. . As Christians we are all missionaries, and taking this class would be one way to better fit us for the great task before us. - Cindy Martin SECTION IV - PRACTICAL STUDIES METHODS OF BIBLE STUDY In this class we studied how to study We must learn how to effectively get the deep truths out of Gods Word Studying is the pathway to great depths of know ledge The Bible contains Splfltual nourish ment for any hungry person who is will ing to dig it out Many new truths and chal when we avail ourselves of the God given armor described in Ephesians 6 14 17 Jesus is a good example of victorious l1v ing When He was tempted in the wilder ness Jesus used the Word of God for a weapon against Satan May we follow this example in each temptation we face My testimony is that Christian victory is . . . . , O . . .

We learned that the only way to get the correct interpretation is to know the Au- thor, and depend on the Holy Spirit to guide us. Comparing scripture with scrip- ture will help us to understand it better. Studying the verses in their context will prevent us from picking out one here and there and putting them together to prove our own ideas. A concordance and a dictionary are two very valuable resources of help for effec- tive studying. Commentaries are also help- ful, yet their interpretations must line up with the inspired Word of God. We learned that there are different types of approaches we can take to study. We can make book, chapter, verse, paragraph, character, or topical studies. In our study we need to master the truths that we find there and also make application for our lives today. In this way we can live a more perfect life for the Lord. -Mark K. Siegrist ' -1 1-llulin VICTORIOUS CHRISTIAN LIVING Victorious Christian living is something that is attainable. The way to live victor- iously is to let God work through you in every way of life. The spirit of truth will guide us in the way of truth. fJohn 16:13J Victory is possible in every temptation possible only through Jesus' work on the cross for each one of us. Victory is attained by giving up self, and taking up our cross which we must bear till death to win the crown. May each of us take the cross He has for us to bear. - Jerry Neuenschwander Natural abz'lz'tz'es are like natural plants,- they need pruning by study. . YOUTH PROBLEMS I Youth is a time in life when there are many difficult decisions to make. Only with God's help can we make the right de- cisions. The purpose of this class was to lead us in finding Godis will for our lives. How do I know where to work, where to live, and who God might have to be my life com- panion? How do I know if it is God's will for me to get married? One thing that was stressed in this class was that it is most important for me to be the best person I can be, then only will I be worthy of the best companion for life. If we are in God's will, we can go to Him in prayer and know He will reveal His plan to use as He sees fit. We wish at times that God would tell us just exactly what would be the best thing to do or say, but if this was the case, we would not learn to wait pa- tiently on the Lord. We must be in God's will before we can hope to get His blessings. -Julia S. Risser 29 PERSONAL EVANGELISM As we view the many people around us groping in darkness and despair, one is moved with compassion for their souls. We are all to be involved in winning souls to the Kingdom of Heaven. Evangelism means the winning of person- al commitments to Christ. Personal Evange- lism means one or more persons carrying the gospel to other persons. Some of the advantages of personal evan- gelism over mass evangelism cited in this class were: ill It is the most direct method. In preaching, the message can be shifted to the other person, Q23 It shows a personal interest. The individual may respond more readily when approached by one person, 135 It can be done by all Christians, not just the ministry, and C45 It can be done most anywhere and at all times. In order for our witness to be effective, we must possess these qualities: Q11 A new birth experience, 123 A knowledge ofthe Scriptures, Q35 A life of prayer, C45 A con- sistent Christian testimony, and C55 Ability to understand the need of the person. Finally, how can we lead a soul to Christ? First of all, we seek the blessing of God as we approach the individual. Secondly, we help him realize his lost condition. Thirdly, point him to Jesus who is able to forgive his sins and cleanse his heart. And lastly, we should encourage him to yield his whole life to God. Go ye therefore and teach all nations. -Marvin Weaver CHRISTIAN STEWARDSHIP To be good stewards, we must first of all realize that God is the owner and crea- tor of everything. God has entrusted each of us with the care of His creation. We are each given some talents, and an alloted amount of time to use those talents for our Master. 30 God has given us our possessions that we might use them to His honor and glory. In the parable of the talents, we see that God's blessing was only on those who used that which was placed into their trust. The more we are given, the more responsible we be- come. ' The tithe was required in the Old Testa- ment, but today we are asked to give as the Lord has prospered us. As we give our- selves ttime, talent, and moneyl for the kingdom, we will be laying up treasures where corruption nor decay can mar or spoil. -Joseph Charles PRAYER LIFE 6'What is prayer? Do you know what it is to pray? Yes, but it seems God doesn't hear or answer my prayerslw How often we hear this answer! But God does answer our prayers if we follow the guidelines that He has given. We must: 1. feel our helplessness. John 15:5 2. have faith. Mark 11:24 3. express submission. Mat- thew 6:10 4. have a forgiving attitude. Mark 11:25, 26 5. live an acceptable life. I John 3:22 Prayer must be more than an attitude or activity, it must be a way of life. Unless our prayers express a total dependence upon God for all things, we have not experienced what real prayer is. God has designed prayer to supply man's great and continuous need with His match- less grace and love. Real prayer fills manls emptiness with C1od's fulness, his poverty with God's riches, and his weakness with God's strength. May we accept the challenge to have a meaningful prayer life in praying for the needs about us! - Vernon Kurtz PRINCIPLES GF TEACHING What is teaching? Teaching is simply helping others to learn, it's taking some- one from where he is in his thinking to where he should be. Nehemiah 8:8 describes teaching as reading distinctly, telling the meaning, and showing how to apply to daily living. Teaching is a great responsibility, but also a glorious opportunity to mold lives. HAS a man thinketh in his heart so is he. Itls very important to get good thought patterns established early, because they con- trol the individuals conduct. The Christian teaches of things of here and now as they relate to eternity. The spiritual part of man is stressed, the Bible is given supreme place, thereby making room for the supernatural. The non-Chris- tian teacher educates only the soul and body, leaving out the most important part of man, the spirit. We looked at the learning process, the teacher's task, techniques of teaching, problems encountered, and mistakes made in teaching. Over all we recognized the need of the Spirit illuminating our mind and heart, so that we can teach effectively. -Esther Yoder TYPING I Our class met every day of the week ex- cept Monday. We met in the dining room from 11:15 to 12:00. We followed the rules from Typing Made Simple. Typing is very interesting, yet it takes practice and effort to learn where all the keys are located. The first couple of days we learned the different keys, then we were timed to see how many words we could type a minute. As we heard the office secretary typing, it made us ,wonder if we could ever type that fast. It takes a lot of determination to stick with the lessons, but it is well worth it. Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy mightf' Ecclesiastes 9:10. -Barbara Kurtz CHRISTIAN WRITING Conviction + Ability + Humility : The Christian Writer. Developing conviction and the burden to write was the main pur- pose of our class. This is accomplished as we sense the importance of the ministry of writing and its far reaching influence, along with the great need for sound Chris- tian literature. g We further developed our ability by look- ing at some basics of grammar and steps in building a good story. We learned that every good story contains a conflict, cli- max, and conclusion. We must recognize that we cannot depend on our own ability but rather through prayer and persever- ance write for the honor and glory of God. Humility came as we submitted our writ- ing to the constructive criticism of our class- mates. We found that writing stories, arti- cles, or poems is not an easy task, but it is certainly a worthwhile and rewarding area of service for our Lord. - Patricia Reed THE CHRISTIAN HOME The home was ordained by God in the beginning as the institution by which man- kind should replenish the earth in a pure and honorable way, and by which the com- mands of the Lord would be passed on from one generation to the next. In our day the concept and place of the home has been greatly perverted in view of Godls original plan. As God's people we need to be firmly established in the truth to proper- ly be able to stand the tests we face in life. A home established on Christian prin- ciples is very important in the establishing of individual stability, and is at the very core of any enduring society. How thankful we should be for the blessing of faithful parents in providing a home life that is conducive to sound Christian living! With this in mind, may we ask God to help, us be a blessing to the church and future generations, by being faithful to Him where we are now, and in the future establishment of our own homes. -Daniel G. Weaver 31 RUDIMEN TS OF MUSIC In this class I found that there are three departments in Rudiments of Music. They are: Melodics, Rythmics and Dynamics. Melodics refers to the pitch of tones, that of the scale. Rhythmics apply principally to notes, rests, and measures, and how they relate to each other in the beating of time. Dynamics deal with the power and qual- ity of a tone. We learned which markings in music call for an increase or a decrease in power. I found this class very rewarding in that many of my purposes for taking this class were accomplished. Some of the reasons that I took this class are: 4 1. To better enjoy singing, 2. To learn new songs, 3. To be better able to worship through song, Ephesians 5:19g 4. It contributes to congregational singing, 5. It promotes an organized method of singing. May we all do as the Psalmist says in Psalm 100:1,2g Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all ye lands. Serve the Lord with glad- ness: come before His presence with sing- ing? -David Weaver , SONG LEADERSHIP Singing is a very vital part of our worship service. Therefore, the Christian song leader is involved in a very challenging and rewarding work. To be successful in his responsibility, a dedicated song leader needs to have a workable knowledge of music fundamentals. He needs to sense his dependence upon God, and realize that he is in part responsible for the way worship is given. The work should be faced with a proper zeal. tEcclesiastes 9:1OJ. The con- duct of the leader needs to be such that will promote, rather than hinder, the spirit of worship. 32 Song selection is another important phase of song leadership. One needs to be open to the leading of the Spirit, and have a good knowledge of the song book. The song chosen should fit the occasiong compli- menting or confirming what has been spok- en. May we, as leaders, realize our responsi- bility before God, and do our best as we press on in His strength. -James W. Newswanger We arent what we think, we areg But what we think, we are. - INTRODUCTION TO CHILD STUDY Introduction to Child Study is a study primarily directed to help us understand and raise children. We all realize that chil- dren are a blessing and not a liability. This fact is pointed out in Psalm 127 13, Lo, chil- dren are an heritage of the Lord: and the fruit of the womb is his reward. We discovered that children are a real benefit to society. They especially make home life much more enjoyable. We also discussed the responsibility of the parents to create the right environment and give proper training. This is important to the emotional, physical and spiritual welfare of the child. Imagination has a large part to play in the development of the child's mind, but the parents are responsible to control the imagination. We, as children of God, should be very cautious in bringing up the jewels God has entrusted to us that they might serve God faithfully all their lives. - Rosene Nolt l The Bible contains I thirty-two thousand promzlves. EXTRA CURRICULAR BOYS' DORM LIFE Dorm life at Numidia is a time of much enjoyment. Now fust imagine, forty-two boys in one room, no two having the same personality traits! This makes life 'a time of real fellowship. A general survey of the boys brought these comments about dorm life: -Fellowship with God at six o'clock. -6:15, one big thump and the day begins. -A sharing of views in light of class discussion. -Diversion from daily routine: Fellowship and conversation that edifiesg Exchanging of life's experiencesg Food, fun, and stunts on the chin-up bar. -The atmosphere is filled with music from the tape recorders, while the fel- lows enjoy a three tier conversation. -Suddenly, the 9:30 p.m. bell brings the confusion to a halt. Then each has a personal fellowship with the Lord. Softly the air is filled with music from the girls, dorm, then lights out. -Being rocked to sleep, a shake now and a shudder theng while the windows clatter and the wind whistles through the pines. This brings the musical snoring and the unconscious talk of the sleeping. -Ronald Martin Something attempted, Something done, Has earned a night? repose. GIRLS' DORM LIFE Each morning we awoke to the ringing of the bell, informing us of a new day. The first fifteen minutes were spent with our Maker, before entering the activities of the day. After the second bell, we made our- selves presentable for breakfast. Throughout the day there were times when we entered into discussions or shared similar convictions with each other. These times had a way of drawing us closer to- gether while living here at Bible School. We needed patience and courtesy while living in close quarters, especially with a lot of girls from so many different back- grounds. We have many fond memories of the cheery good nights from Sister Anna and Sister Luella as they turned out the lights, and of the boys singing to us as we drifted off to sleep. We enjoy looking back over the various experiences of dorm lifeg but as duty calls us, we go on to our responsibilities at hand. Proverbs 3:6- In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths. - Gloria Graybill THE COOK'S DGMAIN For he satisfieth the longing soul and filleth the hungry soul with goodness? Psalm 107:9 The goal here at Numidia is to satisfy and fill the hungry soul. We view this as the most important, but also realize the necessity of satisfying the natural hunger. We were to be in the kitchen at 6:00 a.m. After the usual good morning,', we each assumed our responsibilities of the day. We appreciated the visitors that came, even though at times it caused some anxiety and scurrying around to quickly prepare more food. We also appreciated the deli- cious food the visitors brought. There were many interesting discussions, sharing new ways and recipes for preparing and cooking food. We must say it has been an enjoyable experience and a blessing in helping. in this profitable work. -Audrey Kraybill - Sylvia Weaver 33 BIBLE READING AND PRAYER Like a refreshing recess, this period breaks up the routine of study during the afternoon. Laying aside our books, papers, and pensg we gather in the chapel with our Bibles. When all arrive, we turn to the passage chosen for reading. As our turn arrives, we stand up and read a sentence, concentrating on reading accurately as well as with understanding. If mistakes are made, Brother Ben Eshbach, our director, re- quires a repetition of the sentence until read correctly. After sharing our testimonies or thoughts on the scripture read, we present to the group our requests for prayer. Then divid- ing into small groups, we disperse to bring our burdens to God in prayer. Praying together for each other, for our instruc- tors, and for friends at home brings unity and purpose to Bible School. As the clos- ing bell rings, we arise from our knees, encouraged and prepared to continue our studies. -Elvin Graybill, Jr. CHORUS '6Continually. . .Praising. . .God. Luke 24:53 Praising our Master was our highest aim in chorus. This class gathered the third period of each day in which we endeavored to blend our voices in bringing our Creator the honor due His name. We learned many new songs and gleaned new truths from the familiar songs we had sung so often before. Much enjoyment and satisfaction was found as we shared these experiences together. Let the word of Christ dwell in you rich- ly in all wisdom, teaching and admonish- ing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. Colossians 3:16. From this verse we note the important role songs have in our Christian experience. Christ's love dwells within and in response our over- flowing hearts express their gratitude to God. -Reba Shenk 34 EXTENSION COMMITTEE So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing where to I sent it. Isaiah 55:11. By this verse we were challenged to ex- pose those in the community to the Word of God. Sunday afternoons we went out in three groups, to two homes and a nursing home, to hold cottage meetings. It's our responsibility to sow the seed and to do our part. We can be sure God will do His part. We have felt greatly rewarded for our efforts, and trust that the Lord will use His Word and the songs sung to draw some souls to Him. -Wendell Strubhar THE CHRISTIAN SERVICE PROGRAM January 31 - February 1, 1976 Our service must reflect the fact that we are ambassadors for Christ. First, we must consider whether we are fit for use in the Lordis harvest, then seek opportunities for service and begin immediately. We may fail to accomplish the will of God if our life is not a continual sacrifice. Sacrifice is not merely giving that which we donlt need, but denying ourselves of something legitimate for a greater cause. Nonresistance, a type of service, was sorely tested during World War I. Many of those brought under this extreme pressure did not remain true, because they lacked a strong faith in the promises of God. Today we not only have the duty of practicing this doctrine, but also of transmitting it' to the next generation in spite of the many threats that face us. Our service must be closely guarded so that it becomes neither a forced formality no so commonplace that God seemingly isn't needed. We must take heedg for the Lord hath chosen us, the church of Christ, to build. ' -Lyle Baer REVIVAL MEETINGS 'Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts: And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting. Psalm 139123, 24. The one who sincerely breathed this prayer, received rich blessings as he allowed God's Word to penetrate his heart during these meetings. Following are some of the many truths and practical applications that were pre- sented to us. The one who is asleep is not aware of what is going on around him. We ought to be awake and alert, so that when the enemy approaches, we can over- come by Godis power. Let us Mbuy up', the opportunities to draw closer to God. Gird up the loins of your mind or get your mind ready for action and do your best. Be soberf' consider the seriousness of life. Walk Has obedient children. Obedi- ence secures our entrance into Christis kingdom. As the Lord spoke through our message bearer, and His Spirit moved among the student body, souls were strengthened and challenged. Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip. Hebrews 221. -Kathleen Ruth A PRAYER FOR MY FRIENDS O, Lord, be near my friends, Give strength to them anew. Revive their weary, aching hearts, And grant them courage, too. Implant thy grace within For times of trails sore. Help them to work within Thy will And love thee more and more. Bless them with joy and peace And inward quietness, Their sins and weaknesses, and needs May they to Thee confess. Oh, help them to be firm In standing for the right So that the troubled world may see Their beacons in the night. Help them to do their best Till life and breath is past, And then, dear Lord, I pray that Thou Wouldst take them home at last. -L.E.M. THE DAILY DOZEN Relax-I have cast my burden on the Lord. Stretch-My arms to catch the bounty that is mine. Inhale-The one perfect life, breathe in beauty. Exhale-Toward others, the Spirit of cooperation. Brain Exercising-Thinking only construc- tive thoughts. Eye Exercise-Listen for the voice of God in nature. Facial Exercise-Smile, Smile, Smile. Tongue Exercise-Speak kindness' Leg Exercise-Walk fearlessly in the path God directs. Heart Exercise-Broadcast thoughts of Love. i Soul Exercise-Commune with the Christ within. Only a faith that moves a lzfe can save a soul. 1.-1111i-1l-1-I There are no detours to the blessings of God. 35 BIBLE SCHOOL ROSTER FIRST THREE WEEK STUDENTS PAGE14-Lower Picture ROW 1: Julia Risser R.D. 1, Lititz, Pa. 17543 Edith Martin 1856 West Main Street, Ephrata, Pa. 17522 Rosa Strite Box 42, State Line, Pa. 17263 ROW 2: Louella Mast R.D. 6, Danville, Pa. 17821 Mary Ann Hershey flst 8L4th 3 weeksj 2023 Old Philadelphia Pike, Lancaster, Pa. 17602 Sylvia Hostetter 452 Central Manor Road, Mountville, Pa. 17554 Jane Nolt R.D. 2, Peach Bottom, Pa. 17563 ROW 3: ' Mahlon Neuenschwander Daniel G.
