BIBLE CLUBS HAROLD COOK, JR., President HAL RICKER, Vice-President LOIS. FRY, Secretary JEAN TAYLOR, Treasurer ELEANORE GUSTAFSON, Librarian Now to him who by the power at work within us is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think ... Ephesians 3:20. By “the power at work within us,’ we seek to reach for Christ the children in the vicinity of the college. This year in addition to those students who worked in Bible Clubs last year and returned, the Lord has put upon the hearts of at least a dozen new students, many of whom are fellows, to work with the Bible Clubs. At Christmas time twenty teachers were teaching over two hundred children each week. The witness has gone out from the college to children in Wilmington, New Castle, Buttonwood, Deemer’s Beach, Dobbins- ville, Delaware City, Christiana, Middletown, and Elkton. The Lord has been faithful in supplying our needs when transportation was seemingly lacking, when teachers were needed for new clubs, when new materials were needed—in short, the Lord has anticipated and supplied all our needs. “Win a child, win a life.” He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him. wares Esalmet26°6% 61

THE CRUSADERS HOWARD BLANDAU, President HAROLD RICKER, Vice-President MARJORIE MAST, Secretary ROBERT WARD, Treasurer To know Christ and make Him known. “Come on, gang! We have ten thousand tracts tonight. Let's make them dynamite for Jesus!” In answer to this call the Crusaders rally together for the Lord’s work. Backed by prayer and armed with the Sword of the Spirit, they leave the campus for Wilmington, New Castile, and Elkton. Starting in Wilmington, one group has a street-meeting there and then moves on to New Castle and Elkton, holding similar meetings. Each street meeting is followed by a group of personal workers. The Lord has been good to us in saving many souls who have been contacted in this way. Another group goes only to Wilmington to concentrate in spreading the gospel through tracts. It is a glorious experience to see lost souls come to find Him through these bits of good news. But that is not the end of the ministry of the Crusaders. On Sunday atfter- noon a group goes out on visitation. Their object is to follow up those who, as a result of a tract or street-meeting, have expressed their desire to be saved. They have seen young and old alike step out of a life of sin to the life which counts—the victorious life. 60

MINISTERIAL ASSOCIATION HAL RICKER, President BOB WILSON, Vice-President “BING” BLAUVELT, Secretary DON PARVIN, Treasurer The keynote of the Ministerial Association is service. This organization's purpose is to associate its members with some of the problems and oppor- tunities of the preaching gospel ministry. We have been attempting to further train the young men at King’s for service in both the homeland and abroad. The society endeavors to strengthen the intellectual attainments of its mem- bers by acquainting them with modern church problems and theological trends, and attempts to stimulate in its members a sense of responsibility before God in a faithful performance of secular and spiritual studies. This year the organization sponsored a drive to collect clothing for over- seas Christian relief along with a collection of money for food and other necessities. About the middle of the first semester a morning prayer group was started with Henry Hiddinga, appointed by the association, as chairman. The ‘Boosters,’ or advertising committee, willingly furthers or “boosts” any activity that is worthwhile in the school. Every Tuesday “Deak” Ketchem speaks to the members about the various problems encountered in the ministry. Other outside speakers have been invited to our scheduled evening meetings to address us on various subjects and fields of the preaching ministry. We also have provided a list of speakers who are willing to preach on and off campus, and a large portion of them have had the opportunity to speak in churches, youth meetings, missions, and street meetings. Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many ... Matthew 20:28. 62
