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.

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? Page 23
