CLASS A number of the subjects in our cur¬ riculum are taught in German. These classes are all instructed by Mr. Witten¬ berg. Bible Story is one our favourite subjects.

REPORT the different parts of the human body, and see how things in nature are made, and how carefully God has planned the universe so that life can continue. We have a number of spare periods due to the fact that there are only two tea¬ chers for all the subjects in the four high school grades.

Lord, what wilt Thou have me be, or do? Opportunities and needs arise on every hand . Which, oh which of these hast Thou as¬ signed to me, Wilt Thou me to some foreign mission send, Or is my field in this homeland of mine? Oh Lord I want to know that will of Thine. Thus I pray, and ponder in my heart, For God most surely has a place for me In this dark world that’s steeled in sin And longs for His salvation full and free. I’d like to see ahead and know The place where He would have me go. But Lord, I know that Thou wilt lead me Step by step into the future that is still unknown. I need not wonder what will be some • future task For if I put my will in Thine, I will not go alone. Dear God, create in me a humble and a willing heart And grant that I may never from Thy Holy Will depart. ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆ GRADE XII — Continued from Page 9 dowed with faculPes of self-determina¬ tion and self-expression, and with only ‘ one possibility of frustrating the pirn of God. In the history course we traced the results of man’s transgressions, and his ensuing efforts to better his condi¬ tion apart from the succour of the Lord, and it moved us to gratitude to realize that God has given us a light by which we are guided confidently through this world where wise men grope for the Truth. Knowing therefore that certain facul¬ ties have been entrusted unto us which are not found in any other creatures, whose development has been comitted to us, we study the more diligently, not with the aim of amassing knowledge for itk own sake, but to know the Lord better from the manifestations of Him¬ self in all functions of the universe, and to turn this knowledge into a direct channel of service for the Lord. — Jac. Hiebert. 20
