24 STEINBACH BIBLE ACADEMY YEAR BOOK Life at the Dormitory It is seven o’clock. The lights reluctantly blink on. A group of bleary-eyed boys crawl out of their place of repose and, with despairing groans, assume the deceptive ap¬ pearance of wakefulness. After hastily re¬ moving the vestiges of their night’s ad¬ ventures, they tramp one by one down to breakfast. Another morning passes. At noon another period of turbulence erupts within the dormitory. The boys come home from school! After dinner comes the inevitable dish-washing, per¬ formed by the few privileged boys holding this office. You wouldn’t need a slow motion camera to snap these toiling laborers! In the evening, after study hours from 7:30 to 9:30 we indulge in a few games and other entertainment. Some even a ttempt to prove their musical ability by favoring us with samples of their vocal and instru¬ mental talent! Conversation is also a fav¬ orite pastime. Thus the days pass. With its quiet re¬ creation and scholastic atmosphere, the dorm is the ideal place to study. It will long linger in our memory. Wilmer Penner. ★ Our Sisters ' Prayer Meeting Precious indeed are the Tuesday after fours that we spend in meditation and prayer. As a group of sisters in the Lord, we have some of the sweetest experiences as we bow together before the Lord, send¬ ing our humble petitions up to Him Who knows our hearts and Who is ever ready and willing to hear us. The sisters take turns in leading the dis¬ cussion preceding our period of prayer. At our first gathering we made up a list of topics in which we wanted to gain more knowledge by searching the Scriptures. Oh, the depth and the riches of His Word! Would that we had a greater hunger and desire to study the Bible. We have been especially blest by the visits of some of the teachers’ wives. The thoughts and ex¬ periences they shared with us were very helpful. After our profitable discussion wherein we exchange our thoughts and often glean truths from the Word of God that we had never seen before, we voice our special re¬ quests and divide into groups for prayer. It is a time of spiritual uplifting and re¬ freshing. Truly is is like balm of Gilead to our souls to unite our hearts and voices in prayer to this great God ' of ours, who wants us to come to Him as children to a father. Jesus says in Matthew 18: 19, 20. “If two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven. For where two ' or three are gather¬ ed together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.” Should not this be an in¬ centive to earnest prayer, so that God may manifest His saving power? Earnest, fer¬ vent prayer is in reality an open doorway to unlimited possibilities. The ministry of prayer is the greatest there is — a ministry in which every Christian can, indeed should have a vital part. How much we need to really get down on our knees in these last days and pray! Christ said, “The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.” This should challenge us to pray as never before. As we kneel together in the presence of God, pouring our hearts out to Him, we are filled with an inner peace that surpas¬ ses understanding. “When at the throne of grace I come to seek Thy face Then I can run life’s race all undismayed; When I petitions bear and plead Thy promise there, The answer to my prayer is not delayed.” Evelina Reimer. Sunday School Work It has been my privilege and ' opportunity to teach a Sunday School class in Giroux m for some time. I have been greatly blessed, first by studying the Word of God for my¬ self, and then to present it to the children. The Lord is speaking to their hearts and it is my prayer and desire that they would accept Jesus as their personal Saviour. Teaching children is much m ' ore import¬ ant and profitable than we often think. They each have a living soul. Experience teaches us that children in their state of innocence are won for Christ far easier than older people who are living in sin and have become hardened against the Word of God. In Psalm 51:5 it says “Behold, I was shapen in iniquity and in sin did my mother conceive me.” We kn ' ow that through the first sin, everyone has sinned and come short of the glory of God. Rom. 3:23. Therefore, as soon as a child reaches the age of accountability it is lost and needs to be saved to have eternal life. Children differ very much and we should watch them very carefully. “Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old, he will not depart from it.” Prov. 22:6. Continued on Page 40

There is an old and well known proverb that reads like this, “Practice makes per¬ fect.” By this I do not mean that after a few practical hours, we will be perfect in our presentation of programs. It is by this means, the practical hour which we have every Wednesday noon, that we learn how to render programs such as young peoples’ meetings, prayer meetings, singspirations, etc., and do it more effectively. Since the program is held during the noon hour, each student is required to bring his lunch along. When twelve o’clock rolls around, the student body gathers in one room, and partakes of some of God’s mat¬ erial blessings, namely dinner. After the half hour allowed for eating is passed the program starts. These programs are made up by each of the three groups in turn, that the students have been divided into. When the program is finished, the students and the teachers criticize or commend the program as a whole and also the different parts that were rendered, whether more expression should be used or whether better posture was needed and so forth. This time spent here during the Wednes¬ day noon hour is not Only profitable and interesting, but also of great blessing to us. Peter Reimer. ★ Why Should We Go ? I think v e are all very thankful for all the privileges we have had from childhood: Christian homes, Sunday school, church ser¬ vices every Sunday, the open Bible, and a land of freedom thus far. Do we realize that all these privileges that we have, come only through the grace of God? If God’s love had not been so great for us poor sin¬ ful creatures, where would we be? God so loved us that He gave His only Son, Jesus, who was willing to leave hea¬ ven’s glory, to come and bear all our sin and shame. For all this that Christ has done for us, don’t we want to show Him our love in return? Will we be willing to follow Plis call, even though it leads over the cold dark mountains, seeking the lost— or to some field of service here at home? There are so many people living about us, in sin and shame, who do not know the wav of salvation. These people are n ' ot only temporally unfortunate and morally de- Continued on Page 37
