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.
