Athletics How should a Christian regard athletics? Must we brand all recreation as sin and put a premium on physical weakness? Or shall we regard physical strength and athletic prowess as being all that matters? To the one who longs to serve Christ either of these positions must be extreme. Here at SBI we shy away from both of these extremes. To avoid the first, the Recreation Committee seeks to improve recreational facilities and to encourage students to utilize these and other means of gaining both mental relaxation and physical fitness. On the other hand, to avoid an over emphasis on athletics all participation in athletic or physical fitness programs is left purely on a voluntary basis, and the spirit of rivalry and competition is held to a minimum. Thus athletics become a blessing, not a curse. Christian service demands that we keep our hearts, minds and bodies in the best possible condition. Christ wants our best, our all.

The Art of Verbal Communicatiori Language is the chief means of communication between people; by it we can both learn and communicate truth. Though our Christian witness to the world rests in part on deeds produced by a living faith, words from the foundation of our witness. For this reason the best resources of language are needed to communicate Christian experience and conviction. If our speech is socially unacceptable, we have al¬ ready undermined our witness. The effectiveness of our testimony also rests on how well we make others understand and what we mean by Christian concepts such as “repent¬ ance” and “faith in Christ.” Con¬ sequently, correct and clear expres¬ sion must be cultivated if we wish to communicate effectively the mes¬ sage of life to others. L. Dueck, B.A. High School Department. Duties of the Dean “And every one that was in distress. ...” I Samuel 22:2 Distress speaks of grief, suffering and danger. A person in distress may be troubled or annoyed. He may be experiencing severe physical or mental strain. To help a student in distress is one of the dean’s duties. . . and every one that was in debt. . . .” There is the debt one owes to the community or to the individual against whom one has sinned. Or, there is the debt of love one owes another who is in need of friendship. When a student becomes heavily indebted to others, it is the dean’s privilege to guide him in the pay¬ ment of his debts. “. . . and every one that was dis¬ contented. . . .” Discontentment results in a general ebbing of spiritual life. The dean must deal wisely with those who have complaints in order to assure an increasingly rich exper¬ ience of God’s blessing in the life of each student. Doreen Reimer, B.A. High School Department.
