19 STEINBACH BIBLE ACADEMY YEAR BOOK Launch Out! “Launch out into the deep, Cast down your nets”. These were the words of Jesus At Gennesaret. “We’ve toiled all night”, said Peter, “And not a fish we’ve caught — But at Thy word dear Master, We will again launch out.” They drew a multitude of fish, A draught as ne’er before. The Lord has blessed because in faith They’d ventured from the shore. “Come follow me”, said Jesus, “From henceforth ye shall be Fishers of lost and dying men, Who ne’er have heard of me.” Are we afraid to leave the shore — Afraid of waters deep? Fear not, the hand that bids thee go, Will never fail to keep. At Thy word Lord we will launch out. We’ll fear not wind or wave, In faith we’ll seek the perishing Bound for a Christless grave. The shore with all its selfish joys May beckon us to stay — But we have cut the anchor, Christ’s summons to obey. Oh Lord, take Thou our sinful lives, And all that we possess! Tis only when we give our all, That Thou can’st truly bless. Rosaline Friesen. “Launch out!” Today these words resound To challenge me and you; The depths are teeming with lost souls, And fishermen are few! ELEVEN Hulda Plett We know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called ac¬ cording to His purpose. Rom. 8:28. Peter Reimer Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father ; but by me. John 14:6. Heria Schwarz For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sakes He be¬ came poor, that ye through His poverty might be rich. II Cor. 8:9.

IS STEINBACH BIBLE ACADEMY YEAR BOOK Harvey Barkman That I may know him, and the power of his resurrec¬ tion, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death. Phil. 3:10. Rosaline Friesen For even the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, blit to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many. Mark 10:45. GRADE CLASS REPORT To us the Steinbach Bible Academy is not just another “temple of learning”, but the school the Lord has chosen for us, in which to continue our High School educa¬ tion in such a way as will enable us to be of greater service to Him. We feel privi¬ leged in having the opportunity of at¬ tending a school still based on the sound teachings of the Bible, as so many mo¬ dern schools today are detrimental to the spiritual welfare of the young people at¬ tending them. Our science course this year includes the interesting study of geology. We quite freely disagree with our textbooks in that they state that all geological changes of the past are due to the slow process of erosion, decay of plants and animals, and similar procedures thro’ endless ages. One observation of scient¬ ists that makes the theories of “unifor- matism” improbable, is the unexplain¬ able phenomena of the intergradation of rock. The most probable solution that we as Christians can accept, is that some great catastrophe as the Great Flood, caused the drastic changes that occured. Many scientists today have not only cast aside the theories of evolution, but have found true science in complete accordance with the Scriptures. Through their detailed study of the universe, they have come to realize the existence of a Great Creator — a Master Mind who originated such a marvellous plan of creation! Our hearts too are lifted up in adoration and wor¬ ship as we study the various phases of God’s handiwork in such subjects as chemistry, astronomy, biology and ge¬ ology. We are thankful that the Academy is blessed with teachers who help us to differentiate between false and true teachings — taking their supreme autho¬ rity from God’s Holy Word.

20 STEINBACH BIBLE ACADEMY YEAR BOOK Doreen Reimer If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all un¬ righteousness. I John 1:9. Edgar Penner Remember now thy Cre¬ ator in the days of thy youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw nigh, when thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them. Eccl. 12:1. Glen Reimer For I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that He is able to keep that which I have committ¬ ed unto Him against that day. II Tim. 1:12. GRADE X CLASS REPORT “Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.’’ II Tim. 2:15. We are not to study to show ourselves, but rather study to show ourselves ap¬ proved unto God; so that we will not bring reproach to’the Lord who commis¬ sioned us thus: “Go ye therefore and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you . . Matthew 28:19-20. It is our desire to be fully surrendered to God, and to go where He will lead. “Though it be o’er the cold, dark mountain seeking His sheep, Or along by Siloam’s fountain, helping the weak.” Once a week Miss Twining comes from Winnipeg to teach Visiual Aids. It is a study of how to present Bible stories and object lessons with the flannel graph. Miss Twining gives us many helpful sug¬ gestions for getting the gospel across to the children. Exegesis is instructed by Mr. Schmidt. We are studying Genesis. A few of us are taking Ukrainian, taught by Mr. Wittenberg. If, in our fu¬ ture life, we come in contact with Ukrain¬ ians, this will be a help to us. Of course being high school students, our secular subjects take up the most of the time we spend in cultivating ourselves mentally; but we should not let the study c -Rain ' s history, of the surfaces and c of the earth, and of the other things we are to learn, crowd such an extent that we don’t the spiritual things.
