CARL HARRISON Friends are snatched up and borne away by the rushing tide of time and circumstances. Possessions are torn from the grasp of those most deserving of them. Yet Christ stands as the allfsufllcient, timefenduring Rockga shelter from the crashing surf and screaming wind of trouble, pain, heartache, and temptation. JO ANN HELWIG Many, O Lord my God, are thy wonf derful works. How I praise my Saviour for the perfect work of salvation that He has wrought in me and for the privilege that has been mine of passing the gospel on to others, especially in Bible Club. Truly I can say, What would I do without jesus my Friend? WILLIAM LEE HAUSE Suffer the little children to come unto me were the words spoken by Christ. My greatest blessing in serving Him has been in the sowing of the seed and the harvesting of fruit in the lives of boys and girls. CLARA LOU HILDEBRAND Even so it is not the will of your Father which is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish is a verse that He constantly places before me as I have opportunity of teaching children the wonderful message of Salvation. My heart can only sing praises to Him as I have the privilege of leading these little ones to Him. Twentyffive PEG HEACOCK Shew my Thy ways, O Lordg teach me Thy paths. 'That I may lay hold on that for which also I was laid hold on by Christ jesus. For the love of Christ constrains me that I should live unto Him who died for me and rose again. Oh! what a salvation this, that Christ liveth in mc. NO'RMA M. JENKINS It pays to serve jesus. It pays every day and in every way. The joy and blessing received from teaching children of God's love and seeing them saved, from singing His praises in 'Chorale and on assignments, as well as from per' sonally witnessing of His grace and saving power have paid eternal dividends.

ROGER N. FREY What things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ. 'Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ jesus my Lord .... Therefore have I set my face like a flint, and I know that 1 shall not be ashamed. BERNITA GROSS A Thanksgiving Vesper Service in the Chapel dim with the soft light of candles is outstanding to me. After a time of quiet organ music, students, without introduction, presented vocal and instrumental praise to God. Finally, Mr. Pentecost spoke, suggesting that each of us offer to Him the sacrifice of thanks, The evening captured the true message of Thanksgiving-that of givf ing reverent adoration to the One to whom we owe our all. . 5 W SHIRLEY FRY What is the worth of this life of mine Except it be hid in Him? Where is my hope, my joy, my peace Except it be given by Him? What shall I lay at my Master's feet Except it be wrought by Him? Why must I go to a dying world? Because I've been sent by Him! For me to live is Christ. BARBARA SUE GUTTRIDGE Be still and know that I am God. Some of my most precious moments in the rush of school and city life were those spent waiting before the Lord and claiming His precious promisesfmy strength for today, my hope for to' morrow and my joy for eternity. Behold, thou art my God! 'Idwentyffour GIL GREGORY Praise God from Whom all blessings flow! I continually praise God for His many blessings to me during my days at PhilaBI. God has blessed in many ways: in class, in chapel, on meetings, and just as we talked person to person. Truly, the Lord can bless in everything we do for Him. ROY S. HABECKER These three years at PhilaBI have been wonderful ones in which I learned more about the Lord Jesus Christ and how to better give forth the Word of God that others might come to a saving knowledge of Christ. I have also learned that I can do nothing of myself, but that I can do all things through Christ, who gives me the strength.

BILL J ENNINGS That I might know Him. Oh to grace how great a debtor Daily I'm constrained to bel Let Thy grace now like a fetter, Draw my wandering heart to Thee: Prone to wander, Lord I feel it. Prone to leave the God I loveg Here's my heart, O take and seal it, Seal it for Thy courts above. JEAN A. KILBOURN During the three years of training at PhilaBI, I found that my team assign' ments have been of outstanding inspira- tion and blessing to me. They made me aware of my responsibility as I repre' sented the Lord and the Institute. I have chosen Isaiah 50:7 as my year's Verse. CONNIE. JOHNSON The Lord has done great things for meg whereof I am glad. How I praise the Lord for His marvelous salvation! His guidance and faithfulness have been abundant above all I could ask or think through these three Wonderful years and will continue to be so in the years ahead. JOHN LANDIS KRAFT Jesus, Thou Joy of loving hearts, Thou Fount of life, Thou Light of men, From the best bl.ss that earth imparts We turn unfilled to Thee again. Thy truth unchanged hath ever stoodg Thou savest those that on Thee callg To them that seek Thee Thou art good. To them that find Thee All in All. Twentyfsix MARY BELLE JONES I thank God that the Lord Jesus Christ and His work of atonement have been made precious to my heart this year. Truly it can be said, Thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. JOYCE LONGENECKER My years at PhilaBI have been pleas' ant ones. The many opportunities, ex' periences and lessons from the Lord will mean much for future years in His service. Were the whole realm of nature mine, That were a present far too smallg Love so amazing. so divine. Demands my soul, my life, my all.
