23 STEINBACH BIBLE ACADEMY YEAR BOOK $ T U D 1 N T $ EVA PLETT “Shew me thy ways, O Lord; teach me thy paths.” Ps. 25:4. I am thankful for the opportunity of going to Bible School. It is wonderful, and my sincere desire and prayer in studying His Word is to learn more thoroughly His plan for my life so that I can fill the place He has for me. HENRY HIEBERT “I am crucified with Christ: neverthe¬ less I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.” Gal. 2:20. I am thankful for the privilege I have in attending the S. B. A. to learn more about this Lord and Saviour who is living in my heart. PETE F. REIMER “For me to live is Christ and to die is gain.” Philippians 1:21. How thankful I am that I have yielded myself to him. He gives me joy and peace within my soul. My earnest desire and prayer is that I might be a real channel through which Christ can be seen. JOHN DOERKSEN In Matthew 4:4 Jesus said, “Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.” Having accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as my personal Saviour, I have an urgent desire for a more diligent study of God’s Word, and through studying His Holy Word, to become more concerned about the souls that are still in darkness and sin, therefore to be willing to serve the Lord in a manner well pleasing to Him in my home church and wherever called by Him.

STEINBACH BIBLE ACADEMY YEAR BOOK AMANDA REIMER, R.N. “For it is God Who worketh in you both to will and to do of His good pleasure.” How thankful I am for this verse. By na¬ ture I am not inclined to do the will of the Lord but my prayer is that God’s will may be the controlling power in my life, for then only can I serve Him according to His “good pleasure.” LINDA REIMER, R. N. “I must work the works of Him that sent me, while it is day; the night cometh when no man can work.” John 9:4. As the cry comes to us from those who are still in darkness — “Come over and help us” — let us heed the cry, put on the whole armor of God and go forth bold¬ ly to win the lost for Christ. LORRAINE NEUFELD “Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent His son to be the propitiation for our sins.” I John 4:10. When I see all that God has done for me, even though I loved Him not, I can only say: “Thou art the potter, I am the clay, mould me and make me after Thy will.” HENRY HARMS “We know that all things work to¬ gether for good to them that love God, to them who are called according to His purpose.” Rom. 8:28. This verse has been my comfort, and been with me since I have left school. I thank God for His saving grace and love toward us. At times my path of life seems weary and dreary and I cannot under¬ stand it. But Jesus never fails. He’s my comfort and stay. $ P h C A L

EVENING CLASS “Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” 2. Tim. 2:15. It has been our privilege to meet on certain nights of the week to delve into the great truths of the Word of God. We have been greatly blessed, and, with the help of the Holy Spirit and our Bible teachers, the Word of God has become clearer to us. It has been impressed on us how deeply depraved we human beings are and how impossible it is for man to be a child of God without a Sa¬ viour who came into this world to redeem us from sin and reconcile us to God. Then we were also shown what our responsibi¬ lities were after we had become the sons of God—that of winning others to Christ. There are many opportunities if we but look for them and grasp them. May God forgive us our negligence in this respect and help us to see our res¬ ponsibilities and take hold of our oppor¬ tunities. May God give us the grace that we can become workmen that need not be ashamed before Him. Peter Dueck. DIRECTOR’S REPORT Continued from page 5 to occupy enemy territory, and to win souls for the Master. We would sincerely request all dear ffiends and supporters of this school to pray earnestly so as to make this a very successful year. Yes, pray the Lord of the Harvest that He may create willing hands to take care of one of the major issues, namely, that of finances. Pray for the students; pray for the teaching staff that they may get the power to rightly divide the Word of truth, to ths honor and glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. Pray also that the board may al¬ ways have divine guidance in all matters pertaining to this Academy. Pray and give. “Forasmuch as you know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.” 1 Cor. 15:58. Rev. P. K. Bartel. THE CHRISTIAN — A SERVANT Continued from page 11 the Christian. At the time of the same act of faith the Holy Spirit by His baptism actually places him in the body of the Lord Jesus Christ. Then as the Christian yields to God, surrenders to him, he is controlled, or filled, by that same Spirit. Thus in the controlling hand of the Spirit the Christian renders true service to God. What glorious provision! The Christ¬ ian is called for service by God. He is sent forth in service by Christ Jesus. And he is empowered for service by the Holy Spirit.
