From The Staff S ENIORS, as you step forward with Christ into the ripened harvest fields to which God has called you, the prayers of the staff members of P. B.T.S. go-with you. lt has beena ioy to us, during your three years of preparation at Practical Bible Training School, to notice in you a growth in grace and knowledge of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. We believe that your spiritual life has been deepened, that your determination to do the will of God has been strengthened, and that your personal consecration to Christ has been renewed during your days of study here. Therefore, we do praise the Lord for these years of training which you have spent with us, for we know they have been profitable to you. It is our reward to know that you are equipped to go forward with Christ. Now there awaits you the mighty task to which God has called you, that of proclaiming the precious Word of Life to those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death. The members of the staff of your beloved school wish you Godspeed. May our precious Lord direct your steps, and may there be many who will come to know Christ as Saviour and Lord as a result of your earnest consecration to His will and your step of faith-Forward with Christ. To The fluff F OR the practical lessons learned and the blessings we have enjoyed here at P.B.T.S. during the past three years, we, of the Senior Class, wish to express our gratitude and appreciation. We cannot help but thank and praise God for the privilege of attending a school where each and every member of the entire staff has consecrated his life to the Lord's service. We know there has had to be great sacri- fices in many cases in order that we could enioy the wonderful blessings that have been ours during our time of preparation here. We also would like to mention the many blessings we have received in fellowship with you. We know we cannot fully realize the privilege of fellowship such as this until after we have gone from this Christian School into our different fields of service. We believe that then we will be able to look back and see what a blessed privilege it was to have been here with you. Our prayer is that our Lord will continue to bless and guide you in the work He has chosen for you until He shall come to take His own unto Himself.

BIBLICAL INTRODUCTION .... All Christians reioice in the fact that they have God's Word to read and study. However, few of them know the experiences through which it passed in order that we might have it today. The purpose of this course is to search out the origin of the sacred scriptures and to learn of the great experiences in hardship, fire and hatred through which it has passed. Through all of these experiences God has miraculously preserved it for His people. A knowledge of this subiect is necessary, though much neglected. The course gives the student a foundation upon which he may build more detailed Bible study. lncluded also are suggestions as to qualifications necessary and methods for more fruitful study of the Bible. REV. CLIFFORD A. ELSBREE A.B. in Th. Jeremiah 33:3 Biblical Introduction NEW TESTAMENT GREEK 3 .... This is an advanced course in Greek where the student goes on to use his Greek in a more practical way. . . .namely, the translation of certain Epistles from the original lan- guage in which they were written into our own language. GREEK 2 .... A foundation of grammar is laid in this course to ac- quaint the student with the fundamental facts of Greek. REV. JOHN E. KARENKO A.B., B.D. Philippians 1:29 New Testament Greek 3 Greek 2 EVANGELISM 2 .... A further study in Evangelism to acquaint the student with those who are misled by erroneous views of the truth and how to deal with them, and a study of different avenues of Evangelism. MRS. JEAN ACKERLY REV. WM. S. CRANDALL B.S. in Music Ph-D-I D-D- lsaiah 4i:t0 Proverbs 3:6 Evangelism 2 Teacher Emeritus 20
