In Acts 26:18a we read, “To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins.” I am very thankful to the Lord that He has turned me from darkness to light, and my prayer is that I might be instrumental in bringing souls to the Lord Jesus Christ in the years to come. My aim is to be more yielded to Him, and that He will be able to use me in His service. The time that I have been saved has been wonderful, and the years that I spent in Bible School have been very good. I hope also that many more will have this glorious experience. The Lord truly is wonderful. ALVINA PLETT, LORETTE, man. My heart swells with amazement when I behold the manner of outstanding love the Father hath bestowed upon us. The human mind cannot grasp this unmerited love, in which Jesus Christ wrought salvation for depraved man. These three brief years of Bible School, in which we have spent times of blessed fellowship around God’s Word, will soon terminate. Our minds have been illumined by the Scriptures and many truths have been clarified. Meditating on His infallible Word, conviction has arisen in my heart as to what I can do in return for what Christ has done for me. My prayer is as follows: “Let me look at the crowd as my Savior did, Till my eyes with tears grow dim, Let me view with pity the wandering sheep, And love them for love of Him.” AGNES BUHR, STE1NBACH, MAN. “O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearch¬ able are his judgments, and his ways past finding out!” Rom. 11:33 After three years of Bible School, God’s knowledge and wisdom become greater and more unfathomable to me. How I praise Him for His saving and keeping power, as well as for His infinite guidance in leading me to this place of learning. His judgments are truly unsearchable and His ways are incomprehensible. My prayer is that I may be a vessel unto honor, “meet for the Master’s use.” RAMONA LOEWEN, steinbach, man. II Peter 1:12: “Wherefore I will not be negligent to put you always in remembrance of these things, though ye know them, and be established in the present truth.” How thankful I am for the teachers who have so faithfully brought us to the remem¬ brance of many things in Scripture, and have helped us to be established in the present truth! It gives me a sad feeling to think of leaving this Bible School after three years of studying within its walls. I believe the Bible School will always have a warm spot in my heart, whenever I remember those wonderful years I was there. Not all things have been easy, but we seem to appreciate things more if they are not easily attained. A look into the future shows only the unknown, but with the Lord’s help I want to “Launch out into the deep” bringing lost souls to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. “And answer dear Lord with my hand in Thine, I’ll go where you want me to go.” EVELINA REIMER. giroux. man. Philippians 3:10: “That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death.” How I rejoice in the marvellous fact that the Lord was mindful of me and saved me! Through His grace by faith alone, I am a child of the King and not only that, but a joint-heir with Christ! In return for what He has done for me, I want Him to take my life and use it to His honor and glory. “Open thou my lips, O master, Tune my spirit to Thy praise, Let the song of free salvation, Fill my moments and my days.” GLADWIN PLETT. LORETTE. MAN. Although Bible School is almost completed for me I am still keenly aware of the command found in II Tim. 2:15. By the exuberant grace of God it has been my privilege to “study” these last three (very very!) short winters. This term while studying in the Books of the Prophets I saw more than ever the imperative need of “rightly dividing the Word of Truth.” Well do I realize that the studying has just begun — the dividing just commenced. Have I studied in such a manner as to be approved of God? Am I not ashamed? (Paul was not. Rom. 1:16). Do I divide rightly ? Permit me to say that only as we have and will study to be approved of God will we be sufficiently equipped to divide rightly the Word of Truth.
