26 The Third Class Speaks CLASS MOTTO: M.v grace is sufficient for thee: fur strengtli is inahe per¬ fect in Weakness. 2 Olnrintfjians 12:il Theme Song: Living Living for Jesus, Oh, what peace! Rivers of pleasure never cease. Trials may come yet I’ll not fear. Living for Jesus, he is near. Living for Jesus, Oh, what rest! Pleasing my Saviour I am blest. Only to live for him alone Doing his will till life is done! For Jesus Living for Jesus till at last. Into his glory 1 have passed. There to behold him on his throne, Hear from his lips: “My child well done.” Help me to serve thee more and more Help me to praise thee o’er and o’er. Live in thy presence day by day, Never to turn from thee away. What Bible School Has Meant To Us We, as students of the third class, feel privileged for the opportunity that has been ours to attend the Winkler Bible School. It has truly been a won¬ derful time! Paul says in his letter to Timothy, “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth” — we have studied so that we may be workmen “approved unto God.” The Biblical knowledge we have gained, has established and strengthened our faith in Christ. The many truths that have been revealed to us have made us more conscious of His presence, wheth¬ er in joy or sorrow. Besides the study of the Bible, we have had many helpful and interesting- classes in other curricular subjects, such as missions, Sunday School work, doctrine and others. These all aid in equipping us for better service in the Master’s vineyard. Since, “Practice makes perfect,” some of these studies especially that of the Sunday School, can be put into immediate practice. Some of our students teach Sunday School in the local church. Others bring the Gospel to the children of the neglected neighbouring villages. We have also learned to appreciate the worth and blessings of Christian fellowship. The morning chapel ser¬ vices have proved an incentive to our studies and our daily classes. Through song, word and prayer, we have been encouraged to “fight the good fight of faith,” trusting God for strength and guidance at all times, even when bur¬ dened and distressed. The class prayer meeting every Tues¬ day has been a real source of strength to us. The Lord has blessed us and we praise Him that many of our prayers have been answered. As we go forth from here, it is our duty to put into practical life what we have learned. Our ways will part — our service will differ. May each one of us be found faithful in doing our part and may the Bible be our constant com¬ panion and guide. Anne Pries. Kronsgart M.B. Gemeinde Denn Gott, der da hiess das Licht aus der Finsterniss hervorleuchten, der hat einen hellen Schein in unsere Herzen gegeben, dass durch uns entstuende die Erleuchtung von der Erkenntnis in dem Angesichte Jesu Christi.—2. Kor. 4:6.
