ZZ YEAR BOOK ' Ihe. Miracle. QooJz ‘Forever, O Lord Thy Word is settled in heaven.” Psa. 119: 89. Consider with me for a moment how the mere existence of the Bible in our midst today is in itself a standing miracle. In our study of the epistle of Paul to the Romans we find that the oracles of God were committed unto the Jews for safe keeping. Although they misused them and were a failure as far as fulfilling God’s plan was concerned, yet the Scriptures re¬ ma ined intact. Infidels all through the ages have aim¬ ed to destroyed this Word. Rome has done her best to burn it and those that obeyed its teachings. Prophets have been stoned and killed yet their writings have been preserved until the present time in an un¬ adulterated manner. Today this Word rises up like a phoenix from the fire as much unharmed as were Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-nego by Ne- buchadnezzer’s fiery furnace. And fixed for everlasting years. Unmoved amid the wreck of years, Thy Word shall shine in cloudless day When heaven and earth shall pass away. Helen Goertzen. To Say a Word for ChiLit God gave me something very sweet To be mine own this day — A precious opportunity, A word for Christ to say; A soul that my desire might reach, A work to do for Him; And now I thank Him for His grace, Ere yet the light grows dim. I did not seek this blessed thing; It came a rare surprise, Flooding my heart with dearest joy, As, lifting wistful eyes. Heaven’s light upon a dear one’s face Shone plain and clear on mine; And there an unseen third, I felt, Was waiting — One Divine. No service that He sends me on Can be so welcome, aye, To guide a pilgrim’s weary feet Within the narrow way; To share the Shepherd’s quest, And so, by brake and fen, To find for Him His wandering lambs, The erring sons of men. The Steinbach Bible School has been privileged indeed to have had a number of outside speakers for its chapel services. The messages thus brought to the stu¬ dents have had a very inspiring effect upon the life of the school. The following speakers have visited the school during the past school year: Rev. H. P. Fast, (Fall Conference speak¬ er), Orienta, Oklahoma. Rev. John R. Barkman, (Founder of Grace Children’s Home), Henderson, Neb. Rev. Solomon Mouttet, (Field Director of “Go Ye” Mission), Chouteau, Okla. Rev. Allen J. Schultz, (Former Missionary and Famous Conference Speaker), Kit¬ chener, Ont. Rev. John Bueckert, (General Conference), Gretna, Man. Rev. Edwin Ratzlaff, (Under Appointment with the S. I. M.), Swift Current, Sask. Rev. Benj P. Janz, (E. M. B. Church), Steinbach, Man. So in this twilight hour I kneel. And pour my grateful thought In song and prayer to Jesus For the gifts this day hath brought. Sure never service is so sweet. Nor life hath so much zest, As when He bids me speak for Him, And then He does the rest. [f SPiflSffiS Rev. P. D. Friesen, (First Mennonite Church), Steinbach, Man. Rev. A. A.

Helen Goertzen Lorette, Man. Floods of joy o’er my soul. Like the sea billows roll. Since Jesus came into my heart.

Armand Gaudreau Steinbach, Man. Let none hear you idly saying There is nothing I can do. While the souls of men are dying. And the Master calls for you. Take the task He gives you, gladly. Let His work your pleasure be; Answer quickly when He calleth; Here am I; send me, send me! — 6 —
