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
