ACADEM CS For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two- edged sword, piercing even to the divid- ing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a dis- cerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. Hebrews 4: 12

Holding Fast the Faithful Word That an institution of higher education should be called a Bible College is something unique in the field of education. It means that such institutions find in a single book their educational philosophy. the actua.l textbook for many courses, a.nd the principles that govern and integrate all disciplines. No other book besides the Bible is God's inspired instruction book to man for all things that pertain to life and godliness. It is the wonder book incomparable. Thy testi- monies are wonderful.. . Q Psa. 119:127 j. The Bible is wonderful because of its life-giving power. The purpose of the gospel of John may well be taken as the purpose of the entire Bible: But these are written. that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ. the Son of God: and that believing ye might have life through his name Q John 20: 31 J. Because Bible Colleges prepare for Christian vocations. matriculation is limited to those who have found life through the Bible. Therefore, the student's education is pursued in a fellowship that someone has called the aristocracy of heavenl' This is no small privilege. The Bible is wonderful in the wisdom it contains. It alone answers the great questions of life with authority: What is man? What is sin? Can it be forgiven? What is the purpose of life? What follows death? The Bible alone gives the answers. The Bible student may have more understanding than all his teachers 1 Ps. 119: 99 J who get their understanding apart from the Bible. The Bible is wonderful in its counsel. In a day when seeking the help of professional counsel- ors has become a way of life for millions, it is well to study again the profound counsel of the Bible. For the problem of mental hygiene a small section of the New Testament contains more wisdom than all the books ever written on this subject. To quote psychiatrist James T. Fisher: If you were to take the sum total of all the authoritative arti- cles ever written by the most qualified of psychologists and psy- chiatrists on the subject of mental hygiene--if you were to com- bine them, and refine them, and cleave out the excess verbiage, if you were to have these unadulterated bits of pure scientific knowledge concisely expressed by the most capable of living poets. you would have an awkward and incomplete summation of the Sermon on the Mount. And it would suffer immeasurably through comparison. fJames T. Fisher 8: Lowell S. Hawley. gig Buttons Missing. p. 273. 5 Finally. the Bible is wonderful because it is the tested success book of the ages. The success formula. successfully tried by Joshua over three thousand years ago, has since been tested by countless thousands. and has never been known to fail: This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth: but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written thereing for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success fJoshua 1: 81. To the class of '67 and to all, I recommend for good success the wonder book of the ages-- the Bible. Roy L. Aldrich !'2.
