“Go ye into all the world and preach the Gos¬ pel to every creature.” Jesus. INKLER Bible School has throughout the years become a milestone in the life of inumerable young Christians. The most profitable years of many a youthful life were spent within its walls. Seldom does the Mani¬ toba sunshine fail to illuminate the cheery classrooms; but still brighter is the heavenly sunshine which illuminates hearts and minds revealing to the sincere student the wonders of God’s word. Daily we fix our eyes upon Jesus whom we love. His voice becomes familiar to us and we recognize it even in His last com¬ mand, “Go ye.” As in days of old, the disciples heard the command, so the students of W. B. S. have through the years heard the “Go ye,” of the Master. As evidence proving this fact is the members who have gone out from this school into foreign mission work. Even now at the time of writing ex-students are en route to the mission fields of the different continents of the world. Rev. and Mrs. A. A. Unruh, students of ’25 to ’38 when this school was still young, are now on their way to serve their second term on the mission fields of India. The work there is growing and we are so glad that they will have additional help in Miss Helen Harder, R.N. She received her training at the St. Boniface hospital in Winnipeg, and we who became aquainted with her in W.B.S. during the winter of ’43-’44 feel that she will be efficient in ministering to both body and soul. What Miss Harder cannot handle will certainly be overwhelmed when Miss Margaret Willms, student of ’35- ' 36 gets there to help. She is also a R.N. and has shown her efficiency through the years especially as Public Health Nurse. May the Lord give them all great joy in His service among the people of India. Not only the Indians of India, need the Gospel, but also the Indians of South America. After a furlough in which they gathered fresh strength and new courage, Rev. and Mrs. Bern- hard Epp (Mr. Epp of ’35-’36) are ready to go out a second time to Paraguay, South America, to take up the work once more. Annie E. Dyck ’37-’38,’40- ' 44 reached her field just a little sooner than expected when she flew to Colum¬ bia, South America, shortly after New Year. Studies at Tabor College could not be con¬ tinued but the Spanish language will pro¬ bably be sufficient cause for further study. We hope she masters it very soon so that she will be able to pass on the good news of the Saviour to those who have not yet heard. Somewhere in the wilds of the Belgian Congo in Africa is a little Mission Station called Balalo. In that vicinity there are a few people who have heard the story but they are not satisfied; they want to hear more. How happy will they be when Rev. and Mrs. Willie Baerg, ’35-’39, arrive in Balalo, and this yearning for the Word of God can be satisfied. From the wilds of Africa we travel to Eng¬ land. There in the MCC centre in London, England, we find a busy little matron. She is Miss Evangeline Matthies of ’40 ' 42, ’43 ’44. Her desire to help the needy in war-torn areas took her to them and reports of her work show us that she is not an idler in the Masters ser¬ vice. Several weeks ago Winkler bid farewell to Mr. William Enns, ’30-’32,’34, who is also en route to Europe to help in the relief, work done by the MCC. These are the ones who have left for a field throughout this year. We wish them God’s richest blessings and hope that many more will give heed to the “Go ye” of Jesus and an¬ swer with the words of Isaiah, “Here am I, send me.” SNATCHES FROM OUR DIARY Nov. 13—The reception social proved a great blessing.
