I In Uhr iliarultg By ISABEL ABDALLAH WE THANK OUR GOD UPON EVERY REMEMBRANCE OF YOU As we, the Class of '41, approach graduation it is with mingled emotions of joy and sorrow. We are glad that soon we shall be going forth into His harvest field, but yet our hearts are saddened that we must leave those who have meant so much to us and who have played such an important part in moulding our lives. Dear Faculty, your faithful, Christ-like lives have been a real inspiration to us. We appreciate your whole hearted interest in us, and your sacrifices made in our behalf. Most of all, we thank GOD for your deep devotion to and love for our Saviour, the LORD JESUS CHRIST. Only eternity will reveal the results of your faithful ministry. Although we shall be separated from each other we shall not be separated from HIM, therefore, let us meet daily at the Throne of Graceu. May God's richest blessings be yours as you continue to labor for HIM. ilirnm Uhr iliarulig By REV. M. L. LOWE To the Class of '41: With conflicting emotions we bid you God speed, rejoicing that our God has enabled us to send you forth, tearful that we shall not thus meet again till we hear the sound of the trumpet. These have been blessed years together. Our fellowship has been akin to that which is above. Your lives are precious in His sight and to your Faculty. We are not pas- tors, evangelists, nor workers in the fields abroad but you are our flock, our field, our joy, and crown. We trust that you will carry the Living Seed, which we have given you, to the ends of the earth and plant it in soil Divinely prepared. May the Lord have an abundant harvest from this service. You are going forth into a troubled world. It seems that the ends of the agesy' are coming upon us. At best you will not have an easy task. You have, however, a Divine Guide, a Divine BOOK, and a Divine Power, as well as a city and a crown await- ing you. As your day, so shall your strength be. We enjoin you to a life of godliness for His glory. It is your preaching which must be Christ-centered and your lives as well. For the cause of Christ do not make shipwreck of your faith or your testimony. The world has great need of the message now in your possession. So we say, Q'Farewe1l,,' wishing you God's best, trusting that we shall often meet again on the banks of the Susquehanna? The secret of the Lord is with them that fem' Him?

In Ihr Mnrkvra By HARRIET MAXWELL We, the Class of ,41, thank God for the honor and privilege He has given to us of having had fellowship with you. Your lives have helped us to know the meaning of true yieldedness to the will of God, and although more or less in the background, you have radiated throughout the entire school a spirit of consecration which has been an inspiration to us. Not only has God blessed us with rich truths from His Word as we have sat in the class-rooms, but he has also given us a deeper vision of service for our Lord Jesus Christ as we have seen the manifestation of His power in your lives. The Apostle Paul tells us in I Corinthians 4:2 that God requires faithfulness in a steward. It is our earnest belief that you have met that requirement. We thank you, dear workers, for having helped to make our beloved P. B. T. S. not only a school but a home, and our prayer, as we leave, is that God will give to each one of you His very best. Elirum Thr nrkvra By HOXVARD L. BARHAM Members of the Class of 1941, we, as workers, have counted it a privilege to have labored with you during your three years of preparation for I'Iis service at P. B. T. S. We thank God for your growth in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Now that you are about to depart from the place where you have learned to more fully know and trust Him, we pray His richest blessings upon you as you enter His vineyard. Your class verse, 'Tor to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain , not only carrries with it the sentiment of Paul's life, but should also be the sentiment of each of your lives. As you labor in the place Christ has for you let this conviction permeate your mind and heart continually. 1 Life's pathway as it leads through the dark places should help each one of you to realize in a small measure something of the weight of the statement, to die is gain? Paul wrote these words after many years of life's battles. Our desire is that you may have this ever before you as an incentive to be at your best for the Master. Him tba! comefb fo me I will in 110 wise cast out. JOHN 6:37. Page Twenty-one
