STEINBACH BIBLE ACADEMY YEAR BOOK Susie Friesen Susie Friesen is quiet, reserved. But nevertheless it must be observed That she’s on the dot, with her lessons done.

Elizabeth Reimer Elizabeth is a friend indeed You can come to her when you’re in need To comfort the sick is her special aim May the Lord bless her when doing the same. The Prayer of A Heathen Twinkle little Sirius bright Thy glee in an unknown code. Where is to thee the source of light, The hand that holds thy load? Here is a soul, a lonely one, In a darkened Land—-Oh where’s the sun? When will the living light allot The ray that waneth not? Master of the vaulted dew — If such there be, I pray -— The secrets of Thy dome I woo The mysteries of the ray That shines. Each night the un¬ known code To me great ecstasies would bode, I pray of what? I know not what, No one hath told me what. Are there men to east or west Who ken thy glisting sheen? Oh please my message to them cast: ‘Come for your Master glean.’ Convey thy Mystics to this land, Great misery from souls to send; Enhance the dark, depressing fear. The woe — the fatal sear. Cease now, thy intermittent fraud, Thou vapid twinkling spark, Eternal clouds my soul enshroud Entombing all — tis dark. Shadows fall to lift no more, Dark demons wait, my soul to war; The yawning gulf, the open tomb. The morn of endless doom. Edward Reimer.

STEINBACH BIBLE ACADEMY YEAR BOOK 19 Also, the direct uncamouflaged works of Satan are being initiated all over the world at an ever in¬ creasing rate, 2 Tim. 3:1-6. We live in days of wars and rumors of wars. Men’s hearts are failing them for fear. See Matt. 24:6,7. Prophecies are being fulfilled. The nation of Israel lives again. Every indication shows that our Lord’s return is very near. This brings us to the final, and dominant objective of our studies. Before Christ acended to heaven he gave us a commission. Read Matt. 28:18-20; Mark 16:15, 16; John 20:20-30; Luke 24:46-48; Acts 1:8. Is this commission given only to the twelve disciples? The early church definitely accepted it as a com¬ mand to the entire Church -— every Christian a missionary, wherever he is. In Acts 8:1-4 we find de¬ finite proof for this. They that were scattered abroad — all ex¬ cept the apostles — went every¬ where preaching the Word. We must therefore accept the fact that every Christian is an ambas¬ sador of the Gospel. If Christ gave us this great commission, He ex¬ pects us to obey His bidding until He returns. Therefore, as ambassadors and Students, our aim throughout the year his been to study to shew ourselves approved unto God, workmen that need not be asham¬ ed, rightly dividing the Word of Truth, (2 Tim. 2:15) for the sal¬ vation of souls. As we have studied God’s Word, and have ventured in¬ to the sacred passages, our con¬ stant prayer has been: May the Lord at His coming find each and every one of us faithful at his particular predestined post, so that we will be able to meet the Lord with gladness. Ed. Reimer Lorraine Dueck | A joyful character is she In Public Speaking “tops” we see At recess time most every day The Gospel Hymns we’ll hear her play.

Abe Giesbrecht Abe Giesbrecht from Austin hails, He’s determined in nature, sincere as a Christian, Though the billows may toss, he cour¬ ageously sails. His burden of heart is the leprosy mis¬ sion. Tina Wlebe Vivacious, active and sincere, Is sister Tina in First Year, The Lord’s will she tries to do, In little things and big ones too.

Thy narrow way oft seems too dark We cannot understand But then a still small voice says, “Child Come closer, I will lend a helping hand.” Sweet peace and joy comes flowing in All fear, all cares have rolled away.
