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

OBSERVATIONS CLASS IV God is the only sure fountain on which the mind can rest. 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 15
