Qofwefgfzwe In tha 3'Harultg By EVELYN KELLER As we leave P.B.T.S. we praise God for the wonderful privilege which has been ours, of sitting under the teaching of those who know God and walk with Him. We know it has been your souls' most sincere desire to bring honor to the name of the Lord Jesus through your lives and teaching. May we say from hearts full of grati- tude that only eternity will reveal the influence that you have had in the molding and shaping of our lives in preparation for Christian service. You have inspired us to lives of deeper consecration and usefulness to Christ by your sacrifice and sincere devotion to Him. We shall never cease to thank our God for your work and labour of love among us. ilirnm the iliarultg By NELLIE A. MANLEY Dear Seniors: The three years of your preparation for God's Service here at P.B.T.S. are nearly at a close. It has been a joy and a privilege to watch you grow in grace and the knowl- edge of our Lord and Saviour . In a few short weeks you will be leaving this place to go out as ambassadors of the Lord Jesus Christ. It is a high honor to be sent by a nation as an ambassador to another country. No greater honor could be yours than to be sent out as an ambassador for God. A person is chosen to be such a representative because he possesses certain character- istics. He must be diplomatic that he may win the friendship of the foreign country for his native land. As you go to represent Christ, be tactful so that you may win many to our Lord. An ambassador must not only be diplomaticg but he must be true to the country which sent him. Be true, therefore, to your high calling. Always make Christ the center of your ministry. Determine not to know anythingn, among the people to whom you are sent, save Jesus Christ and Him crucified . As an ambassador is a usent one , commissioned by the government of his country, so you, too, are sent ones commissioned by Christ, Who said, as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations baptising them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Knowledge dt1l'tll'lI'!'S by steps, no! by leaps. Page Eighteen

We thank God for the good teacher, able adviser, and true friend that we have found you to be. We are confident that our lives have been better molded for Christ because of our acquaintance with you. Though our paths may now separate, yet the indelible mark that your life has left upon our hearts shall always be a sweet reminder of our fellowship together. We thank our God upon every remembrance of you. FRCM OUR CLASS TEACHER By M. L. LOWE Members of the Class of '39g how many are the emotions which are mine today as we face Graduation! We are loath to leave you but we know it was for that purpose you came. As we say, Farewell, we do so in the spirit of our Alma Mater, trusting you will pray daily for us, and we, covenanting, For us won't you pray. May you always think of yourselves as Ambassadors for Christ, and may you always Conquer Through Christ. Conquerors through Christ, let this our motto beg In country, town or city, or 'cross the rolling seag In preaching and in singing, In sermon and in prayer, We can set the joy bells ringing For Jesus, everywhere. Hlliklllllllll Conquerors through Christ, in all our daily lifeg With sin without, within, we shall have continued strifeg Yet if we daily reckon , Obeying His command, The Holy Spirit's beckon Will help us win the Land. lllllillllklr Conquerors through Christ, in God's own harvest field, As in the Gospel might, the Bible Sword we wield. Some on a far-flung front, And some at home to stayg Our holy zeal no foe shall blunt 'Till glad Millennial Day. A man's greatness is measured by bis capacity to be humble. Page Twenty
