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.

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.

RUBY SIZEMORE Turn thee eastward, and hide thy' self by the brook Cherith . . . and thou shalt drink . . . and I have com' manded the ravens to feed thee there. During the past three years I have had the joy of drinking at the brook of His Word and have found what a privilege it is to be a channel through which His message can flow to others. LOIS SNYDER Is there anything too hard for the Lord? My heavenly Father provided Jesus Christ for my sing how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things? These years are a promise of His continued faithfulnes. How good it has been to dwell here with the King for His service! LARRY SMITH I was once a sinner, but by the grace of God I am what I am today. I praise Him for His faithfulness to me. He hath done great things for me whereof I am glad. He hath blessed with all spiritual blessings. Praise be to God! KEN STAGG The bows of the mighty men are broken, and they that stumbled are girded with strength. The I.ord's strength at all times is sufficient. Because I have found it so in my years here at PhilaBI, I look forward to serving Him wherever He may lead. 'fhirtyftwo ARTHUR SMOKER Under the providence of God, I will never cease to praise Him for the privf ilege and time of blessing I have re- ceived at PhilaBI. Through the avenues of Bible Study and Christian Service, I have learned that the Lord Jesus Christ is more precious and indispen- sable to me. My only desire is to serve Him wherever He might lead. HENRY THEYS These three years at PhilaBI have been a mountainftop experience. The desire of my heart, as I look to future service for the King, is that I may know Him better. That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fel- lowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death.
