“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 ' T ' HIS is the writing of Paul to Timothy, his beloved son, but it also has a meaning to us at the present time. In order to show our¬ selves approved workmen before God, it is neces¬ sary to study, to put forth an effort and learn, so that we might rightly divide the word of truth. The Lord has so led it, that eleven Members have been able to take the third class. We real¬ ize how much there is yet to be learned, even though we can say that our eyes have been en¬ lightened and opened to many a truth unknown to us before. In a special way has the work of the Sunday School been put before us, it’s aim, the responsibility, the great and invaluable im¬ portance of Sunday School work. The signifi¬ cance is only slowly recognized, yet it is a large field of service. We have seen the necessity of preparation for this great work, to study and learn, in order that the word of God may be rightly divided and taught to these immortal souls. In this course of study we have not only re¬ Studenfs of the Dyck, Jimmie, Homewood, Man. 42-44 Dyck, John Heny, Boissevain, Man. 45-46 Dyck, John, Winkler, Man. .40-42 Dyck, Josephine, Winkler, Man. 41-42, 44-45 Dyck, Lydia, Manitou, Man. 37-38, 42-44 Dyck, Mary, Newton Siding, Man. 40-42 Dyck, Mary G., Kitchener, Ont. 41-42 Dyck, Mary F., Whitewater, Man.. 41-44 Dyck, Tina, Winkler, Man. 42-43 Dyck, Ruth, Winkler, Man. 44-46 Enns, Agatha, La Salle, Man. . 43-44 Enns, Betty J., Newton Siding, Man. 40-42 Enns, Helen, Newton Siding, Man.40-43 Enns, Jacob, Elm Creek, Man. 45-46 Enns, Justina D., Winkler, Man. 42-43 Enns, Mildred, Elm Creek, Man. 43-44 Enns, Olga, Kitchener, Ont. 43-44 Enns, Tina E., Teddington, Sask. . 44-45 Epp, David, Winkler, Man. 41-42, 43-44 Esau, Jessie, Domain, Man. 42-43 Esau, Peter P„ Marquette, Man. . 42-43 Ewert, David, Coaldale, Alta, . 42-43 Falk, Elizabeth, Gretna, Man. .42-46 Falk, Peter P., Morden Man. 41-44, 45-46 Fast, Katherine, Kitchener, Ont. 39-40, 41-42 Fast, Margaret, Kitchener, Ont. 41-42, 43-44 Falk, Margaret, Gretna, Man. 41-42, 43-44 Fehr, Helen, Morden, Man. 43-44 Friesen, Annie, Oak Bluff, Man. 42-44 Friesen, Bernhard, Winkler, Man. . 43-45 Friesen, Catherine, Kitchener, Ont. 41-43 Friesen, David A., Winkler, Man. 45-46 Friesen, Helen, Griswold, Man. 42-43 ceived the knowledge or information of this work, but we have had an opportunity of ex¬ pressing ourselves, by presenting a practical Sunday School lesson. A class of children was invited for this evening and the lesson was be¬ ing given. Many blessings have been derived through these evenings, to the listeners, but in a special way to the teacher, who was conscious of the presence of God. A wonderful experience, never to be for¬ gotten! Through this experience we have learned that trusting in God, He giveth us grace and power to do work for Him. It has encouraged us and given us a desire to do Sunday School work. In connection with finishing the course, vari¬ ous other subjects are studied, which widen the view of the field of service in the Kingdom of God. We have experienced many blessings throughout the year. The Lord has been gracious unto us, for which we are thankful. It is our de¬ sire that we might study to show ourselves ap¬ proved unto God, that we need not be ashamed, but go forth and rightly divide the Word of truth. There is a great work awaiting us in the field of Sunday School and may we be found faithful wherever the Lord places us.

A Message From Winkler Collegiate . . . “A little learning is a dangerous thing, Drink deep, or taste not the Pierian spring. There shallow draughts intoxicate the brain And drinking largely sobers us again.” T HEN Alexander Pope wrote these words ” he expressed a lesson the student must solve in deciding the nature of his or her educa¬ tion. Shall it he purely secular, entirely relig¬ ious, or both ? It is gratifying to see so many young people in our community take advantage of the opportunities of obtaining a well rounded schooling by attending the Bible School during its five months course and then transferring to the Collegiate to take some academic work during the remainder of the school year. The high average education of the students of the Bible School shows that many young people go from high school to Bible School. This course is probably preferrable and there could be no better preparation for a life of service. Paul of Tarsus mastered Hebrew philosophy and law as a youth and in Jerusalem he sat at the feet of Gamaliel, two things that prepared him for success in the service of his master. Youth is the time to acquire those treasures of mind and soul that moths and rust cannot corrupt. Life will provide the opportunities to use the talents acquired. Let the preparation be thorough and on a broad Christian basis. Positions are won and held, not lost, by know¬ ing a job well. The Winkler Collegiate appreciates the har¬ monious relations, the spirit of friendship and goodwill, it enjoys with the Bible School, and welcomes the chance to help students who wish to take academic work. The staff and students also extend their best wishes for the success of the Year Book. Peter Brown, Principal, Winkler Collegiate THE WINKLER BIBLE SCHOOL T P ever there is to be a revival among the -•-people of God, it will surely be through the Holy Scriptures. When men and women return to God’s Word, spiritual blessings follow. Mental and moral darkness follow when the Bible is withheld from the people. This need for the dissemination of Bible knowledge among children and among young people—is keenly felt by the teaching staff and directors of this school. The course is Bible centred. The teaching is Christ-pointing. We aim to teach the Bible for a special purpose— the development of a Christian character and the qualification for the service in the Kingdom of God. At the same time our conditions for secular studies are unique. Across the street we have a regular established High School with teachers of definite Christian character. Many students are availing themselves of this excellent op¬ portunity in taking up their preparation along secular lines. Since these conditions are superb we aim to qualify students to enter into the service of our Lord; and if further preparation is needed, to be able to enter an established, recognized seminary, a seminary of reasonably recognized standards and qualifications. Being a gratduate of a regular High School and a graduate of a regular Bible Course means a qualification to be de¬ sired by many. So we aim to have, through the power of the grace of God Education Consecration Dedication Inspiration in The Winkler Bible School. H. H. Redekop.
