J AY M. REED These three years have been a time of varied opportunities and blessings. While here at PhilaBI, I have had the privilege of singing forth His praises in the Chorale. Oh, the joy and blessing that have been mine of singing out the good news that jesus saves. But what a joy it will be to gather around His throne and sing The Hallelujah Chorus to the Lamb of God! E. CAROLINE RODGERS . . . not I , but Christ liveth in me . . . The week of the Spiritual Life Conf ference this year was also a week of unusual circumstantial dii'l'lculties for me. I thank my Lord for the circumf stances of that week which He used to burn into my very being my utter dependence upon Him as the only indispensable One in my life. GARRISON E. RICE Prominent in my three years at PhilaBI, and secondary only to the en' riched endearment of my Saviour, have been the many evidences of Christian thoughtfulness shown by fellowfmemf bers of the Institute family. Inspiration and warmth of heart have caused me to realize the demand for sacrificial love in His service. ISABELLE D. ROGATO He emptied my hands of my treasured store, And His covenant love revealed, There was not a wound in my aching heart, But the balm of His breath had healed. Oh, tender and true was the chastening sore In wisdom, that taught and tried, Till the soul that He sought was trust' ing in Him, And nothing on earth beside. Thirty JOAN RICKERT 'Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit. Tell all the world there is sight for its blindness, Balm for its healing, a song for its dumb, Blood for its cleansing and life for its dyingg Tell them of jesus and bid them to come. VIOLET ROTZELL Three years of classes, fellowship, and activities at PhilaBI. But the great' est challenge of all-God has revealed to me the dying millions without Christ. What a joy to spend our lives for His glory and to lead others to a saving knowledge of Him. Truly He has done great things for us whereof we are glad.

KENNETH M. MOYER To the praise of the glory of His grace-thanksgiving, praise, devotion and adoration are just a few of the words which describe my heart's feel' ings toward my Lord, who, during my years at PhilaBI, has brought me to the place of submissiveness to His Will so He can use me to the praise of His glory. DOLORES PARILLO My greatest blessing at PhilaBI was the realization of the fact that Christ liveth in me! Christ, The King of kings, the possessor of all the fulness of the Godhead, all the treasures of wisdom, all the power in heaven and earth, the One able to do exceedingly above all we ask or think, is able to keep ME from falling. This Christ liveth in me! What a promise! Praise His won- derful Name! HELENA NELSON At PhilaBI it has been my joy to learn about the One who loved me and gave Himself for me. In the book of Philippians I have learned that Christ is my Life, my Pattern, my Goal, and my Strength. It is my desire to know Him and serve Him better. VIRGINIA PATRICK I praise the Lord for the opportuni- ties at PhilaBI of serving Him in differ' ent capacities. The street meetings, where I have met people from many phases of life, have been the richest blessing to me, My aim since coming to PhilaBI has been: Be ye steadfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord. Twentyfnirie AUDREY PALMER Nothing has been more precious to me during my years at PhilaBI than to realize I'm righteousfnot with my own righteousness but with the righteous' ness of Jesus Christ. The study of the book of Romans in class clearly showed me this truth. I need not anymore serve sin, but have been delivered from its power. VINCE PORTE Jesus Christ has become a living reality to me as I became acquainted with Him personally at PhilaBI. In John 15: 16 He says 'Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and or' dained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.

EMERSON E. RUTHERFO-RD Through the experiences of the years at the Institute. the Lord has become more and more real to me. The realizaf tion of my complete dependence upon Him and my rejoicing in Him have increased many times. ROBERT CLARE SEYFRIED Fellowship as well as working to' gether with others is profitable. This ministry and fellowship with the brethren have channeled my desire to know the Bridegroom Himself. Yes, with Paul my desire is: That I may know Him. Can anything be better? LOUISE SCHAUDT Thro' the dark valley and over the height I follow my Lord by faith, not by sight: His smile of approval, His strength for the fight Are mine, as I walk in His wonderful Light. The vict'ry is mine! All thanks unto Him! How can I question tho' the teardrops be dim? His holiness awes me. This pathway with Him Disciplines me-to make me like Him! WILLIAM K. SHADE My most blessed experience has been the recognition of ,lesus Christ as a person and His Word as a revelation of Himself. How true the words, the most important thing in life is your own personal relationship to jesus Christ. My desire for the future is that I may know Him better. Thirtyfone MARY LEE SCHMAL I discovered Z1 verse, while evaluf ating material for a Missions' term paper, whose meaning has recently terminated in great spiritual blessing: Bear not a single care thyself, One is too much for theeg The work is Mine and Mine alone, 'Thy work is-Rest in Me. MARION SHERMAN Now unto Him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us. My years at PhilaBI have truly been above all that I can ask or think. Thanks be unto God for His unspeakable gift! Before me is a future all unknown, A path untriedg Beside me a friend well loved and known. That friend is God.
