As time always tells, it has revealed both failure and success. “To do without” no doubt is the hard¬ est. lesson. In this course there are least accom¬ plishments and most failures. It is the course, if mastered, that pays the largest dividends and yields the greatest fruitfulness. It is my desire and prayer that the pupils and all those associated with the school in the past, at present and those who in future may be as¬ sociated with it, may graduate from the univer¬ sity of life, with passes in the above three courses. Sincerely, A. A. Kroeker. „©cr .£ crr lint Wrofico ait ung getan; be? fiub loir frofilid). a. 126:3.

Kroeker The green our color stands for is the hope that we will too Acquire greater knowledge as the classes we go through, But better still and greater is our hope to love Him more And be more fit to serve Him, all the days that are in store. Chorus: O Pniel, we love thee dearly, Yes, Pniel, our dear old school, O Pniel we love thee better as the years are rolling by. As pure we wish to be the color we will choose is white For this the second class which is working day and night, We realize that we are but a dusty crowd at best So ask the Master to be cleansing, cleansing without rest. The love of Jesus which was shed in our hearts it is true Has prompted us to come here and to study here with you, So red you must remember is the color that will best, Show forth the love of Jesus, And will bring the world to rest. The green and white and red are colors that we loved so dear In each one of the classes each year while we studied here, But now that we are leaving we must promise to be true, So there was nothing else to do, but choose the color “BLUE.” Translated by J. G. Wiens Die gruene Farbe unserer Klasse deutet Hoffnung an Stets mehr zu lernen waehrend wir die Klasse geh’n voran, Doch groesser ist die Hoffnung, Jesum lieben fuer und fuer Und treuer Ihm zu dienen uns’re Lebenszeit allhier. Chor: O Pniel wir lieben innig Ja Pniel geliebtes Haus, O Pniel du wirst uns lieber lieber Jahr um Jahr. Stets rein zu leben zeigt uns klar die weisse Farbe an. In zweiter Klasse lernet jeder stets so gut er kann, Wir sehen klar das jeder doch nur Staub und Asche ist, Drum fleh’n wir innig “Washe uns o Heiland Jesus Christ. Die Liebe Christie funkelt dort am Kreuz so purpurrot Sie fuellet unsere Herzen zeigend stets auf Jesu Tod, Drum Waehlt die Klasse ROT stets denkend wie so treu er liebt Und wie allein nur Jesus, aller Welt die Schuld vergiebet. Das Gruene, Weisse, Rote liebten wir einst auch so sehr Als wir hier lernen durften Jahr um Jahr stets mehr und mehr, Doch jetzt im letzten Jahre wird die Treue stark erprobt, Drum waehlen wir das “Blaue” haltend was wir treu gelobt. ,3d) Ioffe bid) nid)t, bn fenueft mid) bcim. ‘I Will Not Let Thee Go, Except Thou Bless Me” tperr, luir laffen Sid) nidjt, Si§ uuS bet iDtorgen anbriclit; ®u ©tern alder 9uid)tcn nub ©ortn’ bet ©eredjten Set @d)itle fitljtenbeS fiidjt; $err, luir laffen Sid) nidjt, Safi leudjten Sein 5fngcfid)t. @el)’ fegnenb boratt, auf fidicrer 23af)n, tperr, luir laffen Sid) nidjt. Bless us, Father, we pray, Be Thou our comfort and stay; Thou Star in the night, Thou bright Morning Light, Preserver of Pniel, each day.

M V y Jw ■v i Ip ■ v 1 ' � g§ , P ¥ The 1949 Graduating Class The school semester was drawing to a close, the graduating exercises were at hand and the joy of realizing a goal achieved was ours. By God’s grace we had completed the fourth class at Pniel. Yet mingled with these joys was a certain sense of loneliness for it was a time of parting. Pausing for a moment we saw more how our prayer expressed in our class motto had been answered, “Sir, we would see Jesus,.” Jn. 12:21. Through the untiring efforts of our teachers, the study of the Word of God and the fellowship of prayer we had learned to love and cherish our Saviour more dearly. Though trials had not passed out of our way, only memories of victories and rich spiritual blessings remained. Looking ahead, the great unknown future lay before us. Life in its various aspects presented its challenge to us. While some were definite as to their immediate future others were at the point of decision; for all it was a time of quietly waiting before the Lord. A privilege such as had been ours was not without responsibility. With a deep feeling of this responsibility, and of our insuf¬ ficiency as well, we went forth seeking to fill that place which the Lord had prepared for us. Today our testimony is, that being found in the center of God’s will brings peace that passeth all understanding. As each one seeks to do his or her part the Lord wonderfully undertakes and provides. Ella Peters back in her home district has the opportunity of instructing a primary S.S. class. She finds many open doors for testifying and rejoices in the Lord’s goodness. Susan (Fehr) Dyck regards Pniel as her place of preparation so that now in everyday life she may be an unfaltering witness for Him. Gertrude Kehler, whose desire is to present the Gospel to the lost, felt her need for con¬ tinued preparation. Though striving to get her secular education, she is not idle in the Lord’s vineyard. Through work in the Sunday School souls are being won for Him. John Wiebe, too, is continuing ' his secular edu¬ cation in the local High School. Directing the church choir and delivering a message from time to time keep him well occupied. John Wall, active in his home church, finds opportunities of service in the Sunday School, Jugendverein and choir. Bible School has enriched his life and treasures gained there are indispen- rable. Ed. Heppner, too, knows that the Lord has a place for him. Besides farming and taking High School, he is availing himself of the opportunity 35 of continuing in Bible School part time. Instruct¬ ing a large S.S. class, preaching where the Lord provide opportunities make up his active service. Abe C. Klassen is also one of the fortunate members for whom the Lord opened the doors to return to Bible School part time. In a busy world, he finds time to take four subjects, teach a S.S. class in a neighboring village, sing in the male choir and assist in the Jugendverein. Tienne Klassen, looking back on the time spent in W.B.S., sees it as the best in her life. Pniel has become her spiritual home. Heb. 13:6, “The Lord is my helper, I will not fear what man shall do unto me,” is her testimony even when the tem¬ pests would rage. Her field of service is looking after the welfare of the boys’ dormitory. Anne Froese, who is in charge of the girls’ dor¬ mitory, enjoys her work. The Lord’s blessing rests upon those who are faithful in that, which has been entrusted to them. Being so near to school she this year also helped with art work connected With the Year Book. For Anne Thiessen Bible School resembles an artesian well that has become a constant source of inspiration, encouragement and strength to her. She counts it a privilege to teach a primary S.S. class of boys in Winnipeg in the City Mission. Helene Neufeld, greatly influenced by her studies in fourth class, has gone into the service of the M.C.C. In Washington, D.C., in an institution for chlidren she has a wonderful opportunity to be a positive witness. Finding themselves left in this world of sin and strife these children crave for something that will satisfy their souls. It is noth¬ ing else than he love of Christ. Her prayer is that it might always be exemplified by her life. George Andres’ field of full time service is a Pioneer Mission station 150 miles north of Win¬ nipeg. In a district where atheism, unbelief and hatred of the gospel are prevalent the work con¬ sists of preaching, S.S. teaching and home visita¬ tion. The Lord has blessed the work and souls have been saved. It solicits our prayers. Benny Klassen, preparing himself so that he may divide the Word of truth more ably, is con¬ tinuing his education at the M.B.B.C. in Winni¬ peg. Bible School has provided a good foundation on which to build. Helen Derksen, engaged as a practical nurse at Niagara Falls, finds her Bible School training invaluable. The mission among the sick is great. Away from the rush and roar of life their hearts are receptive for things eternal. Helen Willms is in the same type of service with Miss Derksen, and together they have bet n able to point a lost soul to its Saviour. Both enjoy the Work. And so as we endeavor to take our place m Christian service, wherever it be, the inspiration and the memories of Peniel linger on with u For what it has meant to our lives may w as the 1949 graduates once again unite and e press our gratitude to the teachers, to ur felloe students, to the board of directors and to thos at home who sacrificed that we might attend. In this Jubilee Year our prayer is that tha same Peniel spirit may always remain dominan behind those doors, that the work may go on anc that the W.B.S. may continue to be the place where many young people will come to experience Gen. 32:30, “I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved.” No matter how much book learning you have, unless you are able to fill into the niches of life, thoughts of your own, you haven’t a good education. Duties are ours; results are God’s. When you are up to your neck in hot water, do what the kettle does: SING. Some things that are impossible: “Ye cannot serve God and Mammon.” You cannot have your heart in two places at one time. You can’t lean one way and fall another. You cannot do as you please all week, then change for Sunday. Going forward and backward is impossible at the same moment. God does not ask to be successful but to be faithful. Jesus was more interested in the quality of discipleship than in the quantity of disciples. Men forget when questioned about things they never knew. Contentment is natural wealth, luxury is artificial prosperity. God does not draft for service, He asks for volunteers. We may clasp sin so close, that we cannot see its face. 36 He That Followeth ■ Me Shall Nor Walk - In Darkness ut Shall ■ HaveTheLightOf Life. JoHN8:IX £cr ' -Brief (yfjrifti, 2.

Siutl). Mr. A. A. Dyck Newton Mr. P. H. Penner Winkler Superintendent of Dormitories Mr. F. E. Peters Winkler Treasurer 39 Rev. H. H. Redekop, Lic.Th., B.A., Principal Exegesis, Education Rev. Redekop, the principal of our school, has indeed had a thorough education for his work. He received his element ary and high school training in Russia. Then, after havin come to Canada, he attended the Winkler Bible School and al¬ so graduated from it. He then continued his secular education in the local high school to meet the required standard of thb country. Here he likewise graduated. To enrich his treasure of knowledge still more he took a correspondence course from the Students’ Bible Institute for two years. He then enrolled in United College for Arts, graduating with B.A. and for Theology, graduating with Lie. Th. degrees. In 1944 and 1946 he took summer school courses in Winona Lake School of Theology and also the Biblical Seminary of New York respectively. This immense educational treasure, together with his teaching experience in the Dalmeny Bible School (1940-’41). and in the Winkler Bible School (1938-’39, 1941 -‘50), make him a very capable teacher. He is indeed competent to arouse the students’ thinking, and before leaving the classroom we often hear this remark, ‘Do some thinking along this line.’ With sure strides and a determined look Rev. Pries enters the classroom, but the business-like expression disappears when with a friendly smile and hearty “Good afternoon,” he greets the class. “Let’s see who’s missing today,” is his usual remark after his alert eyes have scanned row after row. When he has secured the attention of the entire class, no time is wasted in things not concerning studies. He seems to be immune to troubles and cares and often his optimism and contagious smiles drive away the students’ own trivial disturbances. His pleasing personality has helped to gain for him a warm and secure place in our hearts. We are filled with thankfulness and gratitude toward God who is speaking to us through His servants, the teachers. Mr. Pries graduated from the Winkler Bible School in 1931, the Winkler Collegiate Institute in 1933 and the Tabor Col¬ lege Theological Course in 1939. In addition to this Mr. Pries has taken summer school courses at U. of M., Winni¬ peg, M.B.I., Chicago Winona Lake School of Theology. Since 1933 he has served as Bible School teacher in the following- schools: Coaldale Bible School — 1933-1936 Winkler Bible School — 1936-1938 Tabor College Academy •— 1938-1939 Winkler Bible School — 1939-1950 Since 1941 he has been a minister of the Mennonite Breth¬ ren Church at Winkler and at present he is also its assistant leader. « Rev.

Three years ago Mr. Dyck accepted the position as teacher in the W.B.S. In preparation for this work he began studies at the Winnipeg Bible Institute. These studies were, how¬ ever, terminated by a call from our country, for service as a Boys Supervisor” at the Indian Residential School, Norway House. After a year of practical missionary ac¬ tivity he returned, resumed his studies and graduated from the Winkler Bible School. The atmosphere which Mr. Dyck creates in his classes is cheery and enthusiastic. He will take up his subject from a practical standpoint, concluding with a discussion, if possible. To make his lectures more interesting, he fre¬ quently relates personal experiences and even uses the oc¬ casional Low-German ‘Brocken.’ As our regular choir leader Mr. Dyck has the ability to demonstrate to us how we are to sing. When our efforts have failed, he has been known to ask, ‘‘What’s the matter, tenors? Didn’t you get any breakfast this morning?” The sympathy and understanding Mr. Dyck has for young people makes him their natural leader. Among his activities outside of School are leading the Young people and directing the choir of the local M.B. Church. c Mr. G. B.

Secretary Synthesis; History German After graduating from both Steinbach Bible School and Steinbach High School, Mr. Enns had his education inter¬ rupted by a call from our country. When the Canadian Government released him in the fall of 1945 he resumed studies at the Mennonite Brethren Bible College, Winnipeg. He graduated from that institute in the spring of 1948 and commenced a new phase of his life when he became teacher at the Winkler Bible School in the fall of the same year. Though stem and reserved in appearance, Mr. Enns is sincere and friendly and works diligently to have his students reach that goal which he has set for them. With his pene¬ trating and alert eyes, he readily sees in what sphere the students are. Always having an aptitude for learning, and a thorough acquaintance with religious aspects of modern history he readily searches for answers to questions which affront his students. He has a keen ear for all grammatical mistakes, in both German and English, and with him you can have the privilege of hearing good German spoken. In addition to being in charge of a heavy schedule of classes, Mr. Enns served effectively, whole heartedly and with untiring energy as faculty advisor in the Year Book Committee. 41 Die woechentliche Lehrerzitzung wo, unter Gebet, Probleme besprochen und Zukunftsplaene gemacht werden.

Girls’ chorus The Choirs The mixed choir, which numbers approximate¬ ly 100 singers, heartily enjoyed the weekly choir practise which Mr. Ben Horch had with us before Christmas. These practises were climaxed by the rendition of a Christmas Carol program by the combined High School and Bible School Choirs. We are indeed sorry that Mr. Horch was unable to continue after Christmas. Mr. Dyck practised songs for the ordinary pro¬ grams which the school rendered and directed the choir at these occasions. He has added numerous new songs to our list of known ones. Among these are Open the Gates of the Temple,” Fling Wide the Gates” and Lob und Dank.” The weekly practises and the singing of the male choir and the ladies choir were also led by Mr. Dyck. We count it a privilege indeed to have been able to participate in singing the praises of Him grams which the school rendered, and directed the Not only do we enjoy singing our¬ selves but also find pleasure in hearing others sing.

Besides having students from the different provinces we have a group from foreign lands. 2. Some of our students attend the Rudnerweider Church. 3. If all the churches were as well represented as the Elm Creek Church, the school would have to be enlarged considerably. 63 Sic ©cbctftuniic tier Stlpueftcvit. „$e§ ©eredjten ©ebet bertnag biet menu eB ernfttid) ift. afobuB 5 : 16 . 3 )aB ©ebet ift bic $anb bio ben StQmddjtigeu Strut OottcS beinegt.

Here the many trios and quartettes can One of these is visitations to the sick in our hospital use their voices in singing to God’s glory as well as cheering those who are sick. Each evening a group serves at the hospital from 6.30 to 7 o’clock with singing, Bible-reading and prayer. Sometimes we may think that this work is not VISITATIONS appreciated but we take new courage when someone asks us to come to his bedside to sing old familiar hymns. Many of those who are in the hospital may be worried or burdened and a song or Scripture passage may spurn them on in this great battle of life.

Wiebe This year is the 25th Anniversary of the Wink¬ ler Bible School “Pniel.” Congratulations! I recog¬ nize the wonderful contributions that the Bible School is making to our community. Besides the excellent, personal influence your young men and women have on our society they also make a very important contribution to the church services and Sunday Schools of the various congregations in town. They serve with song and word in our hospital and are always willing to make blood donations when the emergency arises. Your school has not only increased in size and in accomodation during the last quarter of a cen¬ tury, but has also raised its standards. This is a healthy sign of any institution. May you be an ever greater blessing to our community. C. W. Wiebe, M.D. 68 Co-operation between the Collegiate Institute and the Bible School has become a by-word in Winkler. Joint programs of the two schools have become deservedly popu¬ lar. The carol service rendered by the students on December 15, last, was just another indication of the harmonious relations that exist between these institutions. The success Peter Brown, B.A. and acclaim of this pro- Principal, W.C.I. ject was ample evidence of the goodwill and mutual understanding that exists between the two bodies. Their common goal is service to God and man. Very commendably students and director happily and willingly de¬ voted the time and energy required for the pre¬ paration of the program. This was all the more noteworthy since the students were faced With their Christmas examinations and since the direc¬ tor was carrying an exceedingly heavy burden in directing the collegiate and junior orchestras as well as the large choir. That this work was becoming burdensome is apparent now that Mr. Horch has had to interrupt it much to the loss and regret of everyone con¬ cerned, for this musical program was the major extra-curricular activity of the students. Naturally students and community looked forward with keen anticipation to a repeat performance of Farmer’s oratorio, “Christ and His Soldiers.” I A change in the organization of the work in the senior high school grades will doubtless interest those Bible School students who aimed to complete a year’s work during the few spring months. With almost super-human efforts some students always succeeded in doing this. A change in the curri¬ culum will effect this. Grade X students are now classified into two groups in Manitoba. The accelerated group is per¬ mitted to attempt to finish Grades XI and XII in two years. The regular group will spend three years in these two grades. It would appear that any one spending only a few months in Grade X will have difficulty in getting into the accelerated group. Looked at from another aspect, however, it would seem that it should be just a little easier to complete the high school course when it is spread over five years than over four. While it does add a year to the whole course, it should not increase the burden for those students Who have such a limited amount of time to devote to the individual grade. This could well act as an incentive to the student so that more will avail themselves of the opportunities in our com¬ munity. It is apparent that these opportunities are not at all one-sided, and the high school graduate would doubtless benefit all the more from Bible study because of added years and maturity. While the greater trend to date has been the other way, it is praiseworthy that there are always some of our senior students enrolled in our sister institution. It is a beginning that is to be cherish¬ ed and must be fostered; it is a trend that our community must encourage to escape the material¬ ism of the age. •—Peter Brown, Principal, W.C.I. „£ie offcnc Ji ' ir, fd)[itf). baf 3 fie atte in s JJiir eind feien.

To th° many students who have called the dormitory their home, it has been a place of fellowship and companionship never to be for- gotton. Our motto, which is found in our dining room, reads: “I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.”—Phil. 4:13. This verse of Scripture has often encouraged us and has given us new hope and crust to study his Word. The school largely provides the theoretical and formal part of our spiritual training; the Dormi¬ tory mainly provides the practical part. The forty- three students who have had the opportunity of taking part in all its activities have found this to be true. The hours are divided into different periods, such as study periods, free periods and a devo¬ tional period every evening at ten-thirty, which our faithful bellboy seldom forgets to signal. Be¬ sides being a place of concentration and study, it leaves ample time for recreation, singing and room visitations, which also play an important part in dormitory life. If we were to make a little tour through the building during a study period, we would never realize that there were so many boys in so quiet a place. For this peace and quiet our capable Deans should be given all the praise. Of course it’s hardly imaginable that this could last very long, so during the free periods our peaceful home takes on a different atmosphere where a bit of mirth and a hearty laugh also are not out of place. And a practical joke also has its place in the building of a personality. For those who found sitting and concentrating for any length of time difficult, the skating rink was a very good means for the disposing of excess energy. Even our more studious companions have found it very attractive. The ping-pong table also got its share of use from those who preferred a Saturday was ur turn for a more domestic But all payed equal respect to the bell oui efficient cooks knew how to handle so expertly to announce that another delicious meal had beer prepared. They were seldom disappointed by the boys’ accomplishments at the table. Saturday was ourt time for a more domestic type of work. It was a common thing to cee someone washing hall floors, others washing room floors and probably still another more unfortunate person washing his own laundry, or struggling over a white shirt with a hot iron. Even this has proved very educational to the less experienced boys. The height of our activity was our Thursday night prayer meeting. The high school boys in our dormitory also take part in it. During this time of worship we all experienced the power of the Lord in united prayer, singing and testimony. We are very thankful to the Lord for many answer¬ ed prayers. We are especially thankful that several of the boys were able to find Him as their Saviour. We are grateful for the Lord ’s guidance during the past term and as we return to our respective homes and churches, our earnest prayer is that the Lord would bless us in His service. •—John E.

This verse, our Motto, expresses the desire of those who have their home here. The first weeks of the school term were spent rather quietly here, and no unnecessary remarks or words were spoken. Well, we didn’t stay bo shy, but slowly got acquainted, but now—well after all it is impossible for twelve girls to have the same ideas and always come to the same conclusions. There is never a dull moment in the life here at the Girl ' s Residence. Life here is very pleasant, but to a still greater extent it is very helpful in gaining in the spiritual realm. Here opportunity is given for true Christian fellowship which every¬ one needs. We also have the opportunity of getting acquainted with twelve girls, each one with a special characteristic from which we can learn. These amiable girls always have a heart for troubles of others; and trials and difficulties flee when twelve heads get together. Life in Private Homes Many happy hours are spent in these homes. Although we are only a few in each home, we do not in any way feel less privileged than those in the dormitories. Altogether we are forty-two students, of whom thirty-two are girls and ten boys. Pleasant, but busy times are spent preparing and planning the menu. ‘‘Oh! what’ll we have for A Glimpse at Life in the Girls Residence ‘‘Girls the breakfast bell is going to ring in a minute” or “Shh! it’s study period” are common expressions of our dean who is a great help to the girls in giving sound advice. Frequently the girls all gather in one room and have a sing-song or practice conducting. We always look forward to our Monday night prayer meetings, where we especially ask the Lord to be with us and guide us to be true citizens in His kingdom. We have spent many a blessed time together at these meetings. Miss Froese leads the morning devotion by reading a Scripture passage and by prayer. The girls in turn led the evening devotions The teachers and their wives have all been aur special guests for supper and part of the evening. These visits are always looked forward to with great enthusiasm and excitement. We have also had the privilege of having Miss Warkentin, a mis¬ sion ary from India, for one evening. We thank all those who have made donation or contributions for the support of this dormitory. May our heavenly Father re¬ ward each and everyone of you. •—Hilda Esau. is Enjoyable Too! dinner,” and “Let’s hurry and wash dishes,” are expressions commonly used, but usually with a cheery and happy attitude. We have experienced that God is ever-present, even among a smaller group of Christians. The love of God has drawn us closer together, and it is with mingled feelings that we approach the end of the term. Happiness comes from what you are, not from where you are. The school of suffering graduates rare scholars. Submission to God’s will is the softest pillow on which to recline. He who cannot obey cannot command. 75 IL f 0 M m Left to Right— TOP: Girls in the Banman home practice teamwork in studies. A change is as good as a rest.

Practical imagination. 76 Daily Vacation Bible School How shall they believe on Him of whom they have not heard, and how shall they hear without a preacher?”—Romans 10:14. To see this we do not have to look to the heathen fields across the ocean or other distant lands. No, in our own country, in our land where Christianity prevails, we find many souls who are still in darkness and uninformed as to their souls salvation. People who have never heard the Word of God! It is the work of the D.V.B.S. to find communi¬ ties where there is very little or no religious instruction, to go to them and bring them the gospel news. We count it a privilege to be able to work for our Lord in this manner. Many blessings are received thereby. But the responsi¬ bility is great and the work is not easy. Often opposition is met. Yet the Lord not only provides the needed strength but also grants joy in the work. The attitude of the communities differ greatly. In some districts very little interest is shown and when making house visitations the door may even be slammed before the workers’ faces. But in other districts there is real hunger for the Word and we have the joy and privilege of leading souls to Christ. For about two decades the Lord has entrusted The Winkler Bible School with the all import; nt missionary service of making known the way of salvation to many children of our people as well as to those outside the realm of our churches. We have regarded this charge as a sacred trust to be administered faithfully even as His faithful¬ ness is being assimilated by us through theory and practice. We humbly pause before Him n adoration, thanking Him that His Word has not returned void, for many precious souls were gath¬ ered into the Shepherd’s fold when they personally accepted and confessed Jesus Christ as Savioi r while attending Vacation Bible School. Some of the last year’s work is illustrated with this article. It reveals to you that the task of propagating the Gospel is still underway. Tb: fields are white unto harvest.

Last summer about 34 Pniel students were engaged in this w T ork. The place to serve is the place where there is need. When God puts a burden upon you, He puts His arms underneath. When faith goes to market it always takes a basket. If you face the Sun, the shadows fall behind you. 7S Relaxation. Complete contentment.
