SBiend. “Bless the Lord, O my Soul; and all that is within me, bless His Holy Name!” The Scriptures are the records of people who have proved that God has been a refuge and a help in all generations. Praise God from Whom all blessings flow. Thanksgiving and reverence will open the channels of life. There is nothing like thanksgiving and reverence for such pur¬ poses. Gratitude allows God to flow freely into all of life, freshening everything. “Sweet the moments, rich in blessing, which before the cross I spend; life and health and peace possess¬ ing”. Thanksgiving is a forgotten secret. Its lack is serious. Thanksgiving has a miracle- working effect on body, soul and spirit. Thanks¬ giving is the surest way to open all avenues to God and to keep them open. We in School are thankful unto God for the privilege of sharing the wonderful Gospel. You cannot keep anything by just hoarding it. So many fail here. We must go. . . tell . . . share. The biography of Jesus could be summed up in the words, “he went about doing good”. His wise words were secondary to His beneficial deeds. He set the first and greatest example of a life wholly governed and guided by a pas¬ sion of humanity. He has given us His redeem¬ ing gospel to share with others. Continued on Page 8 FOLLOWING THE MASTER At the close of another successful school year of glorious accomplishments, PNIEL pauses re¬ verently before Him who “is wonderful in coun¬ sel and excellent in working”, and resolutely deliberates anew on FOLLOWING THE MAS¬ TER. Firstly, in Matt. 16:24, we read: “If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me”. From this we learn that following the Master involves SELF-D ENIAL. This is in harmony with the Scriptures concerning the Master, of whom it is said that He “made Himself of no reputation and took upon Him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: and being found in fashion as a man, He humbled Him¬ self, and became obedient unto death, even the death on the cross,” thus, “leaving us an ex¬ ample, that ye should follow His steps”. Fur¬ ther, in Joh. 8:12, Jesus says: “He that followeth Continued on Page 8 Continued from Page 6 God opened unto us the door of the day “on golden hinges”. We are thankful for the won¬ derful power of His Word. It moved to action. That which appeals to the head alone cannot produce results in the life. That which moves to action must appeal to certain inherent human emotions, desires and instincts. Susanna Wes¬ ley, mother of great sons, wrote: “The true end of preaching is to mend men’s lives and not to fill their heads with unprofitable speculation”. We are thankful for all the good gifts of our young people. The power of the Word of God stimulates these gifts and brings the hidden endowments out. Only gifts divinely given, care¬ fully trained, and deeply consecrated, combined with an earnest study of God’s Word and a burning zeal and passion, will make a mar, a greater servant of Christ. Knowledge puffetb up” unless accompanied by the warming emo¬ tion of love that edifieth. “And who is sufficient for those things”, 2 Cor. 2:16, that is the teacher’s question. The teacher must have a gift of spiritual apprehen¬ sion and insight into the meaning of Scripture combined with the gift of teaching. And so, since we are unable, we teachers have only one thing to do; namely, to hide ourselves behind the cross of Jesus Christ. We are thankful for that. H. H. Redekop. Continued from Page 6 me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life”. The import of this is that FOLLOWING THE MASTER PROMISES THE LIGHT OF LIFE. The same truth is appropri¬ ately expressed by the sweet singer in the Old Testament, David: “Thou wilt shew me the path of life” and Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path”, Psalm 16:10, 119:105. Such portions of God’s Word confirm the statement that the light of life is promised to him that follows. Finally, Joh. 12:26, “If any man serve me, let him follow me: and where 1 am, there shall also my servant be”, and Matt. 4:19, “Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men”. Thus, FOLLOWING THE MASTER PROVIDES A LIFE OF CHRISTIAN SERVICE. It secures a work and place for each and every¬ one in the kingdom of the King of kings and Lord of lords. To that end the Lord has de¬ signed us all. Our richest blessings rest upon personal ac¬ quaintanceship with Him. To this we must testify as we are about to disperse into our re¬ spective fields of activity. He has gracefully guided us through the months of intensive study and service. Now we are ready to follow where He may lead. So we sing as we follow, and fol¬ low as we sing: “WHERE HE LEADS ME I WILL FOLLOW . . . I’LL GO WITH HIM ALL THE WAY.” G. D. Pries.

There is no art which has not been used in worship. Art derives from a sense of beauty, and need of self expression. Every religious cult provides its devotee with some opportunity of self expression. Out of the many arts which have been devel¬ oped, such as sculpture, painting, etc., music is one of the finest and most important arts that reached this point, for it is able to fly unbur¬ dened, into regions beyond their utmost reach The Jewish religion gave a large place to musical expression. This is evident in their Psalms. Also did they use instruments as illus- Continued on Page 23 Page 8 Music and Vocal Instructors MISS E. LABUN The music that can deepest reach, and cure all ill, is cordial speech. The song ' that speaks of Christ’s love both soothes and uplifts, it is just possible that at times a song is as good as a prayer. Indeed, a song of the pure kind recognized in the Scripture, is a kin to a petition, which it is also in the spirit of thanksgiving. The “sweet singer of Israel” (11. Sam. 23:1) wedded his sincerest prayers to melody and wafted them upward on the night air from his throbbing heart. In the soul that has been touched and made tender by the finger of pain, music finds a place where it may murmur its sweetest chords. Elizabeth Labun. In Matthew 25: 14-28, we read the parable of the man who dealt out talents to servants and left them to use them as they saw ' fit. This reminds me of one of the many talents God bestows on poor human beings—the gift of singing. What are we to do with it? Naturally use it for God and His royal service. When God first made man, I am sure there will not have been a single thing wrong with that body, and likewise the voice must have been perfect. But since sin came into the world, this wonderful creation has become warped. Also we are not using our voice in the way God first intended it to be used. We find thai when a voice is used correctly, effortless beaut¬ iful music flows from the human lips. Many folks have an idea that training the voice is superficial and unecessary polish. It is not that, but merely learning to use the voice the way God meant it to be. MRS. D. P. WIEBE Another point that seems to me is often mis¬ understood is that the trained are accused of unintelligible words. Now we have those sing¬ ers among the untrained as well. Some singers also possibly do not consider the clarity of words so important, concentrating mostly on tone. I believe this is not correct, but on the other hand a sad mistake. Singing really is beautiful when all the vowels and consonants are perfectly formed, then the words cannot but be clear, and the tone is beautiful likewise. Tone and words go hand in hand. Let uc therefore, when the world spends so much for singing and music and developement of the same, double and redouble our efforts to serve our King of Kings with beautiful music. We, as Christians, have a most wonderful story to sing about, the Gospel of Saving Grace. Let us sing it in a lovely way. The people of the world make beautiful music. Have not we as Christians all the more reason to be up and doing ? But in all our efforts let us never lose sight of our aim, “To serve our Lord, and win others for His Kingdom.” Mrs. Justina Wiebe. The Christian religion is the greatest wealth bequeathed us. No other inheritance can be compared to this source of wisdom, justice, peace and eternal happiness. The Bible is the most thought-suggesting Book in the world. No other deals with such great themes. The Bible is the Book of faith and a Book of religion, of doctrine and a Book of morals and of especial revelation of God. Page 9 THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS Rev. H. S VOTH Chairman Treasurer REV. H H.

MARY GIESBRECHT Winkler, Man. KATIE LOEWEN Culross, Man. Concerning the Peter Falk— I am debtor both to the Greeks and to Bar¬ barians Rom. 1:14. Go ye also into the vineyard Matt. 20:7. Peter has acknowledged these verses and now is preparing himself in the Winkler Collegiate for the service, for which the Lord is calling him. Irene Dyck— Rom. 8:28. Irene is learning a lesson of patience. God is in no hurry to prepare his vessels. As afflic¬ tions seek to raise doubts as to the veracity of God’s Word, a “Praise be unto God” again brings them to naught. Such periods are times fo refering and a means of bringing out the pure lustre of the treasured jewel. Betty Falk— Matt. 9:37—“The harvest truly is plenteous but the labourers are few.” Betty, too, has realized the importance of a thorough training and is privileged in attending the Winkler Collegiate. Katie Loewen— Psa. 34:8—O taste and see that the Lord is good, blessed is the man that trusteth in Him. Very happy and thankful is Katie for having the opportunity of studying in Pniel. Many precious truths and blessed hours have shown her the abundant life in Christ. May the Lord now find you faithful where he has placed you Mary Giesbresht— Phil. 4:13—“I can do all things through Christ which strengeneth me.” Post-Graduates Mary rejoices in the memories of sweet fel¬ lowship on Bible School. She is working where the veil of darkness hangs very low. May the Lord make you a shining Light in your nurses’ training course. Light obeyed, increaseth light Light rejected, bringeth night Who shall give me power to choose If the love of light I lose? Agnes Suderman— Isa. 30:15 - “In quietness and in confidence shall be your strength.” Agnes is very close to living a dual life. Egg grading covers a part of her day whereas Grade XI keeps her occupied the rest of the time. She is at present back in Port Rowan, Ontario, and very happy in a busy world. Abe Klassen— 1 Tim. 2:15 - In handling the word of truth with skill Abe felt the need of continued pre¬ paration. In the High School department of the Winnipeg Bible College he is continuing his Secular education. He is very thankful of the opportunity but sometimes gets impatient. They also serve who only stand and wait.” Augusta Will— “I am perfectly at rest for I know my Lord will place me at the very place He needs and wants me to be. The Lord has been very good to me and has given me much joy and pleasure in saying things to His honor and glory.” At present she is working in a Swedish Old Folks Home in Minneapolis. She is waiting to be sent to Germany. A Word By the Graduating Class, 1947 In St. John 15:16 we read: “Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you. that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, He may give it you.” The reason that we as fourth class students have been able to work diligently, and with ever increasing enthusiasm at the studying of our subjects, is the deep realization in our hearts that the Lord Jesus has said; and is still saying: “I have chosen you.” What a privilege! To have been chosen by Jesus our Lord and Saviour. The very fact that we realize this is really the sole reason for all of us to be in Bible School at all. As fourth class follows class three, so, also, some of our subjects are a continuation of those we had in the third class. Other subjects are new, at least to us, yet the subjects Exegesis, Apologetics, New Testament, Theology, besides some of the Epistles of the new Testament ar so deep, and cover so much ground that we will have spiritual food to digest for years to come. There is one important subject that is nearly all “Greek” to us. Comparing the students of the fourth class with the other classes one involuntarily notices the change in them; they seemed to be more sober, as if realizing more vividly that there is a battle to be fought. Yet at the same time we notice a calmness and peace that only the pre¬ sence of the Lord can give. We praise God through Jesus Christ, our Lord and Saviour, for the rich and bountiful blessings we have had and for the peace, “His Peace”. Also at the recesses we’ve had blessed hours of fellowship, (Continued on Page 23) Page 13 GRADUATING CLASS SUSIE KEHLER Horndean, Man. GEORGE DYCK Winkler, Man. ANNA PAULS Winkler, Man. H. A.

If you will step inside the door, And stay with us a while; We’ll introduce you to class four, Come in, they’ll greet you with a smile. To know God and make Him known, Is indeed our earnest prayer. To Pniel therefore our way was shown, Our lives for service to prepare. First of all we want you to meet George Dyck, our dean of men. Spiritual life should not retreat, While he is in charge of them. Our sister here is Susie Kehler, With a way that is all her own, Is forming friends who will not fail her; In grace with God and man has grown. Mr. Giesbrecht we present with pleasure, An asset to our class indeed. To serve God in fullest measure, Is his desire and creed. Another Susie have we here, Loewen is her surname. Kindness and gentleness make her dear, To all within Pniel’s domain. T ' o express our opinion we hesitate, Where Bernhard Froese is concerned; But, his fine manner and composed state, Are traits not easily lerned. Anna Pauls, we are glad to say, Our dean of women came to be; We like her smile and orderly way, And her impressive personality. And now it’s Mr. Unruh’s turn, Who often keeps us guessing; But on the whole, is willing to learn. For us he has been a blessing. The seven now have been set forth, Though not in their highest degree. Together we strive for one of worth; The one above all others, our A. U. G. (Approved unto God) Loyalty that will endure anything, that will do anything, that will make the whole being conse¬ crated to Him, is what Christ wants. Anything else is not worthy of Him.

Page 16 INVESTMENTS It is reported that Canadians have the tidy sum of five billion dollars invested in victory bonds. The accumulations in bank accounts, debentures and stocks must be sizeable too. Through the ages man has counted his wealth in varied forms. Scripture refers to the for¬ tunes of the mighty in terms of horses, cattle, and sheep. The potentates of India collect, theirs in pearls, rubies, gems and in costly met¬ als. Solomon overlaid the cedar woodwork of his temple with pure gold and silver “was nothing accounted of” where his household ves¬ sels were concerned. In modern times, ever since Peter Minnewit. altruistically purchased Long Island from the Indians for the Dutch in 1626 for $24.00, North Americans have very generally been called well-to-do in their possession of broad fertile acres. What a contrast with the Hebrews who, driven from pillar to post, especially in early times, had to have theirs in a form more read¬ ily negotiable and transferrable. And what thrifty Mennonite parent has not aimed to leave his son a farm? While there have been antiques, first editions, and works of art for the less materialistic, a true appraisal of all these investments puts them into the class that is corrupted by moths and rusts and stolen by thieves; they all “make themselves wings”. How gratifying, then, it is to realize the in¬ creased interest in other forms of investments Reports from high schools, Bible schools and colleges, reveal an overcrowded condition that has not prevailed since these institutions were founded. Parents and students alike are more school-minded than ever before. Higher wages and increased farm income are partly respons¬ ible for this larger enrollment. Doubtless,, Christian in Science The above statement expresses the combined effort of the Winkler Bible School and the Wink¬ ler Collegiate. Of these Institutions of learning it must be said that they sustain a co-operative and promotive relation of prudence, courtesy, accommodation and mutual respect in their aim to truly establish the lives of young men and young women. The Winkler Bible School gratefully acknow¬ ledges the potential benefits of her neighbour across the street and congratulates the W.C. upon the glorious achievements in the past, the splendid aspirations in the present, and the pro¬ spective hopes of the future. PNIEL is widely though, the chief reason for this urge to go to school is the recognition that a good education is the soundest investment of all. Storing up mental and spiritual treasures cannot be matched by any other investment. There is no better investment for any youth than the acquisition of the peculiar faith and heritage of our people, and there is no better place to get it than in our schools. A recent press despatch had it that “There is nothing more needed in the world today than peace¬ making, peace in our hearts, in a community, and peace between nations”. That is the chal¬ lenge of the age. Only the highest investment will qualify the applicant for service in this field. To lead his people in the way of the Lord, Mcses acquired all the knowledge of the Egypt¬ ians, and he spent forty years doing it. The reservoir of human knowledge has grown im¬ measurably since his day and the task con¬ fronting the individual, as well as the school, has grown with it. Religious convictions are truly the most impelling forces known t o man, but the developement of natural talents, assisted through general schooling, is still the pre-re¬ quisite to release this irresistible force. The reward the investor may expect? The re¬ ward of becoming versed in every worthy deed ? The returns will be measured in service to man¬ kind. In that field “it is better to light a candle than to curse the darkness . At the end of life there will then be “honour, love, obedience, troops of friends”, for the hoary head is a crown of glory only “if it be found in the way of right¬ eousness”. -Peter Brown, Principal, Winkler Collegiate. - Scientific in Religion awake to such rare advantages and convenient possibilities in the interest of the many students that were entrusted to her through the years of more than two decades, and has set her eye on contributing to a well-balanced education of brave men and virtuous women unto unmatched valour, challenging efficiency, and captivating nobility. To this end the W.B.S. plans for, de¬ liberates together with, and intelligently in¬ fuses to students and friends the significance of being Christian in Science and scientific in religion.

Knowledge is a power, Knowing God is life. With many blessings He will shower; Even in the hour of strife. In the service of God, we need singers too, Sister Ruth Dyck to her Master is true. She sings with a voice that is pure and steady Wherever the Lord calls she is ready. Always striving for the good, Is Elsie Goertzen from Homewood. In her service she takes n o rest, We are sure in her work she will be blessed. Olga Pries has come to school For a purpose—that is to get a rule To be true in her service, sure of aim, Faithful in proclaiming His Holy Name. Obedient to her Saviour’s call Mary Froese cam back last fall, Wherever there is work to do, We know the Lord will find her true. With his eye on the Master, his hand at the work, John Siemens his duties will not shirk. His answers are ready when others fail, May he learn the Lord’s will in detail. George Banman is cool and collected, Has come to school to be perfected. His ambition is to be a pastor, In the service of his Master. Henry Loewen, dark and tall. In answer to the Master’s call, Came back to school again this year, Work and studies he d oes not fear. After several years of absence Jake Poetker has come back to school We hope he will be a sweet essence In performing the Golden Rule. Sally Friesen, trim and neat, With whom it is hard to compete; Has us guessing as to her place of service, But gives us a promise of scattering bliss. Selma Kroeker says it’s a pleasure, Searching for that hidden treasure; In the Book of Books, the Bible, In her work she is not idle. Page 20 Sarah Peters from Osterwick, As a persona] worker she is our pick, In the service of God she will do her part, To help lost sinners make a new start. Abram C. Klassen in God’s service is true, As assistant dean, with duties not few. When it comes to announcements he is best To represent the class before all the rest. Though tides and billows roll, Sadie Froese is confident of her goal. For she is standing on the Rock, That endureth every shock. Alvin Voth is busy till night Trying to keep the temperature right. He always insists he’s not a preacher, His ambition is to be a Sunday school teacher. A Sunday School worker, a witness too, Tinie Poetker will pay her due. To the Lord and Ruler of her heart, We are sure she is willing to do her part. Evelyn Henkelman arrived a bit late, But came to school last fall. Always has her work up to date Is trusting in God, and has answered His call. Esther Bergman is an inspiration to our group, With her musical ability, things never droop. Teaching Sunday School is her art. For the Lord she is willing to do her part. If silence is golden, then he priceless, In God’s service he will not be useless. For somewhere in life we may ascertain, The Lord has work for Willie Goertzen. John Schellenberg who came from the west, Studies harmony, and that with zest. His ambition is to be a singer. We pray that he may he a “sheaf-bringer”. Evelyn Dyck is all on fire. For her Lord and for her King. Leader of the ladies’ choir, In song her praises ring. We welcomed Victor Brandt with pleasure, Jesus the Saviour is his treasure. His desire is to serve Him more, May he find grace to do so each hour. We are striving toward one goal, May the individual never lose hold. Each contributing in bringing souls, To the Saviour’s heavenly fold. ACTIVITIES OF CLASS III Practical S. S. Lesson.

They gave special training to large groups of singers and instrumentalists The organization of Christianity, into a dis¬ tinct society, brought much use for song. Paul exhorts the Ephesians in chapter 5:18-19 to be “filled with the spirit, speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, sing¬ ing and making melody in your heart.” Music has been developed mostly through the church and its authorities, and has become one of the finest means of worship. We can hardly imagine a religious service without the sing¬ ing of hymns. The church choir has also become a very im¬ portant factor in our church services, offering not only musical entertainment, but serving also as a means of edification in the various courses offered. We sincerely hope that that which is taught this winter may lead to the glorification of our Lord and Saviour, and prove a blessing to others.

This we conclude from a quotation by one of our teachers: “Going to Bible School is of no use if it doesn’t change your life! If you came to Bible School to gain information only, it’s of no use. The Bible is not the Gold of the Bible School. The Gold of the Bible School is, if it changes your life!” Turning to our Bible, we find it has the same aim. Anybody and everybody has to be changed before he or she can be of use to God. Look at Paul for instance; what a change was wrought in him by meeting the Lord on the road to Dam¬ ascus. From the depths of our hearts we are grateful towards our teachers, for their desire to bring about this change in our lives. Ana may the Lord also change our lives to such an extent that He can use us as laborers in His vineyard. The Scripture of God is a storehouse abound¬ ing with treasures of wisdom and knowledge. There is no hope for mankind in the long road unless, unreservedly, the kingdoms of this world become the kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ. Some people say we ought to live our religion and not talk it. If the apostles had only lived their religion and never talked of it, where would the world be today?

CHRISTIAN IN SCIENCE—SCIENTIFIC IN RELIGION (Continued from Page 17) of a well-qualified Christian faculty, exhibits a genuine attitude of good will and comradeship and swings its doors widely open to the stu¬ dents and ex-students of the Pniel family to avail themselves of the precious things the Collegiate holds. Thus, these schools provide rich arsenals for a truly desirable education, which constitutes not only a prerogative to professional training, in which it must eventually terminate, but also a bulwark against undue emotionalism, disguis¬ ing setimentalism, which in their sustenance depend on the application of false alarm, mob- osychology, respect of persons, religio-politico, and holds in their train pretence, sham, confus¬ ion and ultimate collapse. Whereas, to be a Christian in Science and Scientific in Religion, produces a sense of truth, a spirit of vigilance, and securty of final success. Such is our mutual task. May we accomplish it as unto the Lord! G. D. Pries. GOD HOLDS THE KEY God holds the key to all unknown, And I am glad, If other hands should hold the key, Or if He trusted it to me, I might be sad. The very dimness of my sight Makes me secure; For groping in my misty way, I feel His hand; I hear Him say. “My help is sure.” What if tomorrow’s cares were here Without its rest ? I’d rather He unlock the day, And as the hours swing open say, “Thy will be best.” I cannot read His future plan, But this I know; I have the smiling of His face, And all the refuge of His grace, While here below. Enough; this covers all my wants, And so I rest, For, what I cannot, He can see, And in His care I safe shall be, Forever blest. John Parker. PRAYER FOR THE CHILDREN Father, our children keep! We know not what is coming to earth; Beneath the shadow of Thy heavenly wing, O keep them, keep them, Thod who gav ' st them birth. Father draw nearer us! Draw firmer round us Thy protecting arm; Oh clasp our children closer to Thy side, Uninjured in the day of earth’s alarm. Them in Thy chambers hide! ' Oh, hide them and preserve them calm and safe, When sin abounds, and error flows abroad, And Satan tempts, and human passions chafe. Oh, keep them undefiled! Unspotted from a tempting world of sin; That, clothed in white, through the bright city gates, They may with us in triumph enter in. Horatius Bonar, D.D. Page 34 1.

Page 35 MISSIONARIES It is with great pleasure that we send you this report of what the Lord is doing at Winnipegosis, the field that often seems so dead. Tonight we had the pleasure to see three young girls recieve Jesus Christ as their personal Saviour. At the beginning of the service we were somewhat discouraged, not to see any adults attend, although there were nine children. But before the service was ended one of the girls beamed with the joy to know that Jesus was in her heart, and two others confessed to have recieved Christ too. That brings the number of the converts, that stand in this field now, to six. They all need your special support in prayer, and so do we, to be able to feed these lambs that they might grow. Besides the mentioned services we conduct a Sunday School on Sundays, in town, and have four childrens services during the week (two in two different out of town schools from 3:30 to 4 p. m., and two with the town children). This way we reach at least 60 children with the Gospel a week. Most of these listen very atten¬ tively, although a number of them are Catholics. Pray that the seed might grow and bear fruit. The work with the adults is mostly restricted to personal work, since they do not come to our services, excepting the first convert of this field, who comes as regularly as she can. We are planning open air services for the summer though, and are praying that we might reach more that way. Yours in the white harvest field. John Helen Froese Daily Vacation Bible School “For a great door and effectual is opened to us and there are many adversaries.” 1 Cor. 16:9 But thanks be unto God Who giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. 1 Cor. 15:57. This is the testimony and experience of many who were out in the field of Daily Vacation Bible school as conducted by the Winkler Bible School. It is a work that compares very well with that of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. He went about the towns and villages preaching and teaching in the schools. The needs of individ¬ uals were his deep concern. It was not a work that aroused great popularity, but it was an effectual work. Lives were transformed as they made contact with their Creator. Joy entered those who were despondent. Peace reigned where demons had dwelt. All these blessings because someone was willing to sacrifice and to render himself to the Father’s business. Through the work of D. V. B. S. new districts have been reached, different people of our land have been contacted and still others are open before us as fields white unto harvest. The work lies before us, God’s blessing is promised to us, the desire too lies within us, let us therefor go out and present our services in order to enrich our own lives and to offer many the opportunity of accepting God’s blessed word. It is only under the chastening Hand of God that we learn the most important and alike emancipating lessons of life. Life becomes satisfying only with increased sensibility to its obligations. I reckon him a Christian indeed who is not ashamed of the Gospel, nor a shame to it. Matthew Henry. The law is for the self-righteous to humble their pride; the Gospel is for the lost to remove their despair. Nobody ever outgrows the Scripture; the Book widens and deepens with the years. Search thy friend for his virtues, thyself for thy fault. The greatest of faults is, to be con¬ scious of none. Page 36 OUR VISITORS ' rcbigcr ubniui 2$nrfeutin 87 o,aOrc aft. HSreb. v .

These people are willing to do outdoor work and to exchange the sweat of years for the priviliges of freedom. There is no doubt about the fact that Canadians gener¬ ally are inclined to be diverted from outdoor life, and we must rely upon people who are willing to use their muscle and brawn to take the place of Canadians in certain occupations. . . I would, therefore, urge the government tc treat this as an emergency situation and, by using every facility available, try to bring to this country as rapidly as possible those people who give every indication of being the type of citizens we want for our primary in¬ dustries.” House of Commons Debates, Tues¬ day, March 4, 1947; Vol. 86, No. 24.- H. W. Winkler, M.P. Mr. H. W. Winkler, M.P., visited the School or, April 8, 1947. VISITORS TO We, as student body, have been very fortunate this year, in having had a number of visitors, representing various stations on the globe, in cur midst. Being in contact with them and listening to their messages provided for us a glimpse into the manifold activities that are being carried on for Christ; it also aroused in THE SCHOOL us the desire to contribute our part to this great cause. We have been richly blessed by every message and hereby wish to express our sincerest thanks and best wishes. May God continue to bless you, giude you and may you remain steadfast, is our prayer. —Student body. Page 38 GOSPEL SINGERS l t ®i? b I . m. , ?

Page 42 BETHESDA HOME REPORT To many of the newcomers at Bible school the five months stay at the Hooge Home will be ample proof that living in a dormitory has its advantages. Those who at first were sus¬ ceptible to spasmodic attacks of nostalgia soon discovered that when “home” meant living with thirty-four other Christian young men feelings of homesickness were soon dispelled. Those boys who were here last year seemed anxious that Mr. and Mrs. Hooge should con¬ tinue to be as they had been for years, the par¬ ents” of the home. The reason for this attitude of concern soon became evident. The acquiescent mood which never varies, the capable manner in which the home is supervised, and the sense of humour which Mr. and Mrs. Hooge possess has gained the appreciation of all who make this their home. Added to this, and of vital im¬ portance, is Mrs. Hooge’s cooking which is of the variety that will quicken any masculine pulse. Her food also has that certain quality which soon makes loose-fitting clothes look bet¬ ter. The majority of the thirty-five inhabitants are definitely music-conscious but this does not mean they are musical. The one practising his vocal lessons for example, is sometimes reminded that everyone except himself already knows that piece. It is in the morning that the efforts at producing music are most strenuous. The sound of a mouth organ, several guitars, a pi¬ ano played one finger style, as well as several vocalists all practising different songs at the same time, though not entirely harmonious is nevertheless somewhat exhilarating. On the other hand when the boys are gathered around the piano after supper to sing, the sound is quite pleasing to the ear. On Saturday morning there is an industrious perusing of the books. In the afternoon an outstanding Mennonite virtue, cleanliness, comes to the fore. No time is lost and facilities for heating water are geared into high. The home then becomes a veritable beehive of activity. Floors and the scrubbing thereof assume gigan¬ tic proportions in the conversation. By evening everyone is confident that even the most critical feminine observer would find no cause for com¬ plaint. Aside from school which stimulates spiritual life there is a brief devotional period every morning led by Mr. Hooge. At night there is alternate Scripture reading with prayer by the brethren. They have also learned to look for¬ ward to Thursday evening prayer meetings. These meetings have repeatedly shown that time spent in prayer is profitably spent. Along with the testimonies after prayer these even¬ ings of fellowship will long be remembered as having drawn us closer than any other factor in the home. Life in continual close company with a lively group of other young men teaches daily that it is better to lose than to label. It also brings cut many little incidents of the day hew we can be a help instead of a hindrance to those about us, and a stepping stone instead of a stumbling block in the extension of His kingdom.

DAVID HOOGE It was our priveledge to have Rev. and Sister Hooge, of Munich, North Dakota, with us during last years graduating excercises. Bible schools, wherever they are, including their own at Munich, and young people, hold a very warm spot in the hearts of both Rev. and Sister Hooge. Rev. Hooge’s message to the graduating class left with them a challenge to “Go out into the world” showing forth what great things the Lord has done for them, and to witness boldly to the same, “That they serve a Risen Savior.” We thank God for His messages to us through the ministry of His servants, and our prayer is: that God will also bless the work that is being done at Munich. May their school grow as the years go by, bearing fruit for Time and Eternity. The Winkler Bible School Page 46 TALES FROM THE GIRLS ' DORMITORIES “Never a dull moment’’, that’s what life in our residence is like. Can you blame us? After all, we are 12 merry girls with 12 different opinions when we try to come together on one little con¬ clusion. In the beginning of our school term we met at t he residence. We were thirteen. Rather a lucky number, but we were not superstitious. The first week no talking was done except the little “Pass me the salt” or “Please pass the ’taties” or somebody ventures the shy “Isn’t the weather nice today; hope it stays the same for Christmas”. Imagine us thinking about Christ¬ mas the first week at school. Well, we didn’t stay so shy or so backward. The girls began to get acquainted; their likes and dislikes were more pronounced, and slowly but gradually the volume of voices increased, until now—well, you should see us and hear us when we get to dis¬ cussing this and that. You’d think we’d known one another our whole lifetime. Ah, there is our cheery “Dinner’s ready”. My stomach says “This is along my line”. So, off we go. Bump! Bump! My! What was that? Oh, just somebody trying to get down the stairs head first. That might not be so healthy if kept up regularly. A wild scramble results, but when at the table all seem composed and ready to do away with an enormous plateful, as you would plainly visualize, were you here just now. My, it smells good. It’s sure that scramble won’t be long in coming. We were and still are very sorry that two of our girls couldn’t be with us after Christmas. We really miss you both. But we wish you God’s blessing; we are sure He will take care of you and guide you through your trials and tribula¬ tions, if you keep your trust in Him. We have a very appropriate motto in our home: Phil. 2: 3 - “Let nothing be done through strife or vain glory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem the other better than themselves”. We have the framed verse in the German language, hanging in the dining room where each may read it and remind herself. Our morning devotion is de¬ livered at the breakfast table. It consists of the reading of a Scripture passage and prayer. Likewise our evening devotion is delivered at the supper table. It, too, consists of the read¬ ing of a Scripture passage and prayer and some remarks. Once a week we at home have a spe¬ cial gathering or prayer meeting, asking the Lord to be with us, guide us and train us to be faithful citizens for his future kingdom. We girls wish to thank the teachers and all those that have made donations and contribu¬ tions to the home, either in funds, canned fruits or vegetables, the use of your washing machine or even a cheery smile or friendly word, all of which made it possible to uphold the Girls’ Dormitory. The Lord will repay you. ' prof. 21. (v. $an§eit, .billoburo, ftnnfn . ©ftober 21 bi3 23, 1946, mirb bet Pniel-- famitie in ©rinnerung bleiben.

Dec. 10—Christmas carols and secrets are again finding a place in the life of the students. Even the exams seem to creep in, somehow.

Page 53 IN ALL THY WAYS ACKNOWLEDGE HIM, AND HE SHALL DIRECT THY PATHS.” (Prov. 3:6) UPON GRADUATION With eyes that look along the road of years Far stretching into devious length ahead, You stand today, beset with hopes and fears Not knowing what, as on your steps are led, The years hold for you; what of joy or care Awaits you on the road as yet untrod. But still wit h strength of youth art standing there Trusting thy future to the hand of God. Be strong, O Youth, and strive as forth you go, To fight for truth; be bold in her defense. Uphold the right and on her cause bestow Thy strength, nor give a thought to recompense. Search out the plan thy God hath made for you And know thy life will then be great and true.” —Edith Dunn Bolai.
