Front Row, Isaac Giesbrecht, Sarah Koop, Aurelia Peters, Wilma Loewen. Every Monday night finds the evening students engrossed in studying some of the many remarkable and wonderful truths of the Bible. The study of Christ¬ ian Doctrine directs us as to how to walk our Christian life, and gives us a better knowledge of divine Revelation in God’s Word. ?☆☆☆☆☆☆☆! 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

YEAR BOOK DIRECTORS’ REPORT It is the task of the Board of Directors, with God’s help, to keep this Bible Aca¬ demy operating. While the job is not easy, it has not been without its bless¬ ings. The Lord has certainlly been with us in overcoming obstacles, and in taking up new challenges. The Board has gathered for thirteen sessions so far this school year. Two of our directors are now away to sunnier climes. Mr. Jac. T. Loewen who, during the early part of the winter was away on business, found it necessary to go to Florida on account of poor health. Rev. P. J. B. Reimer having been sec¬ retary-treasurer since the beginning of this Bible School, followed the Lord’s leading and last fall took charge of an M. C. C. unit at Cuauhtemoc, Mexico, where he supervises a hospital and Chris¬ tian worker’s headquarters. We rejoice in the fact that we have a greater student body and more gradu¬ ates this year, than ever before in the history of the S. B. A., and may God grant that through the lives of these students that go out of the doors of this school, souls may be won for eterni¬ ty, is our prayer. F. K. Friesen Board of Directors Benj. L.
