Education Exegesis Psijchology In .spite of his heavy schedule of work, Mr. Redekop is sincerely interested in the personal and spiritual welfare of each student. In his elassroom procedure he keeps a sustained interest, through his variable teaching methods. Through him we have become familiar with the rudiments of Sunday School teaching and Homiletics. Despite his real concern for the welfare of Pniel, Mr. Redekop is deeply interested iii evangelistic activities carried on both in Winkler and sur¬ rounding areas. 25 REV. B. B. BOLD!’ Bible History Biblical Poetry German Do you like to get practical value out of your Bible study? Mr. Boldt’s classes arc very typical of this. We never fail to see where a Bible study or lesson may have a practical application in our life, German grammar is Mr, Boldt’s specialty. He insists that, speaking is an art, but speaking with improper grammar is artless. A man careless of his language, is probably careless in many other respects. His unquenchable sense of humor always helps to ease the burden of the day. 26 REV. G. D. HUEBERT, B.A., D.Th. Doctrine Bible Cults This is Dr. Huebert’s second year in the W.B.S., and he has won the hearts of all his students. His willingness to listen to our problems, and readiness to answer our many questions, give him the marks of an experienced teacher. His deep spiritual knowledge has kindled a desire in our hearts to know more of the Word of God. Through his exposition of God’s Word many passages became rich and meaningful to us. Dr. Huebert’s persistence and desire to serve God make him a valuable instructor at Pniel. 27 MR. J. BOLDT, B.A. Music Missions History Mr. Boldt has a systematic and thorough way of instructing his classes. He has the ability to make history both interesting and educational. The importance of the correct art of singing has been deeply impressed upon our minds. In his singing, the message of the song receives emphasis. To be able to relate a message iti song to others, you must first experience it yourself. We hope we shall be able to remember this in our practical work in the future. MR. J. H. GOOSSEN, B.Sc., B.Th f History Christian Evidence Geography Mr. Goo.sscn has the ability ol establishing an immediate contact between students and himself. His classes arc frequently interspersed with quotations of poetry or prose. We appreciate Mr. Goossen for his genuineness and sincerity, combined with his ability to lead us past the dark waters of Modernism, and into the channel of Ghristian philosophy. However, his teaching technique does not prevent him from taking an active interest in the life and activities of the students. His cheerful smile is always a means of dispensing the gloom, that may tend to gather in a classroom. 29 Directors for 1954-1955 Rev. H. P. Harder Winkler, Man. Rev. F. H. Friesen Morden, Man. Rev. D. D. Derksen Boissevain. Man. Rev. D. K. Duerksen Winnipeg, Man. Rev. W. W. Dyck Niverville, Man. Rev. J. J. Neufeld Horndean. Man. Mr. F. E. Peters, Winkler, Man. Mr. J. Krueger Brandon. Man. Mr. A. A. Dyck Newton Siding, Man. A Word from the Directors Not mine but Thy will be done; is the prayer of our Lord in the garden; it relates the mission of His incarnation; and expresses the very essence of our redemption. Throughout His earthly life, Jesus kept in close communion with God, the heavenly Father. To do the will of God at all times and under all circumstances, was more im¬ portant to Him than food or rest. However it finally took Him to the cross, where He thus fulfilled the mission of His incarnation. Before man fell, he had the power to do the Will of God. The whole evil and ruin of sin is, that man turned from God’s will to do his own. The reason and object of Christ’s redemption is to restore man to do the Will of God. Jesus loved and did the Will of God to the end. Do we love the Will of God in and for our fives? Let us remember, on the way to Heaven there is a cross for every Christian. Do we welcome that cross? If we do not, we do not welcome God. As long as self prevails in our hearts and lives God is not in full control. Sub¬ mission to the Will of God is utterly con¬ trary to the flesh. Man loves self more than anything else. Jesus prayed: “not mine but Thy Will be done.’’ His whole life was a total self-denial. Jesus did not come to straighten out, but to cross out. He that doeth the Will of God, abideth forever. God in His mercy gave us another year of blessing in the W.6.S. It has been our privilege and joy to, at least in some degree serve a group of fine young men and women, who have been taught in the Will of God as revealed in His precious Word. Each and every one is destined to be a channel of blessing to others. Our sincere prayer is that they will love and do the Will of God. F. E. Peters. 30 V| OURISHED up in the words of faith and of good doctrine. --1 Tim. 4:6. Fourth Class Report Within the walls of our sanctuary we have reeeived much grace and at least a little knowledge. We have learned to ap¬ preciate our Mennonite heritage. Through the study of Christian Evidence our faith in the truth of the Bihle has been confirmed. The study of Evangelism and Romans has been a stimulus to us to bring the gospel to the unsaved. We have found the more practical part of our study in “Deutsche Grammatik” and the poetical books of the Bihle. Both will prove themselves of im¬ mense value. By revealing to us the content of the epistles, we have seen the magni¬ ficence of our Christian wealth together with the responsibility for the recipients of it. The extra curricular duties were many and as varied as the class members. Singing, Sunday school teaching, an occasional sermon, recreation and many others kept us well occupied. This seemingly unsurmount- able mountain of work has kept us con¬ stantly relying upon God. At our prayer meetings, which have been a source of strength for all of us, dependence upon God was frequently expressed. Today, as we stand on the threshold of a new phase of life we wonder, has God accomplished the purpose for which He called us to Pniel? Have we been clad in His armour that we might stand in the battle of life as men of God? Has He suc¬ ceeded in propping us firmly into the True Vine that we might bear fruit to nourish a spiritually famished world? It is our prayer. John Peters. ELM CREEK M.B.

Gemeinde schaetzt unsere Konferenzschule und wuenscht Lehrern, wie auch Schuelern, Gottes reichen Segen fuer die Zukunft. “Einen andern Grund kann niemand legen ausser dem, der gelegt ist, welcher ist Jesus Christus. 1 . Korinther 3:11. 3 G A Word from Third Class Sixteen enthusiastic personalities consti¬ tute the forces of our class. Within our “halls of learning” various atmospheres arc found. Those of reverence, prayerfulness, studiousness and humour. During our meditation on God’s Word and subjects per¬ taining thereto our hearts are convicted of the responsibility that is ours since we have become recipients of God’s grace. A won¬ derful heritage has been entrusted to us and the responsibility of this privilege must be met. The realization of our insufficiency brings us together every Tuesday when unitedly we offer thanks to God for past blessings and petition Him for further guidance. Frequently the more assiduous students, during spare moments, are seen conscientiously surmounting the difficulties known as homework. At recess the class comes to life—physically, that is, to coun ter¬ balance our mental effort. Occasionally a discrepancy ensues as to whether the room needs ventilation or not. However, if the temperature fails to warm us, the teachers will create a glow in our hearts through the heat of added assignments or the chal¬ lenge of a coming exam. The practical aspect too, of our life here has not been eliminated. Throughout the day our members can be found nervously anticipating the presentation of a Sunday School lesson, energetically vocalizing, melo¬ diously harmonizing in quartet singing, or subconsciously mumbling hymns assigned for memorization. Primarily, our class is such that has al¬ ready “caught the vision” and our prayer can be adequately summarized in our class motto, “Teach me to do Thy will.” Elizabeth Unger. PORT ROWAN M.B.

He’s not one to become discouia ed when ' 1 • r the road becomes rous-lu Second Class Report To enable us to get a glimpse of second class, we will peek into the classroom during a study period. Twenty-five bowed heads remain undisturbed. Here a speeding hand finishes last minute assignments. There some moving lips inaudibly memorize a Scripture portion. Here a travelling mind is deeply engrossed in farm work, for the page never turns. There a meditating stu¬ dent slowly lifts his head and glances side¬ ways. Our eyes follow his and we realize that the class motto. Psalm 119:105, is his subject of meditation. The distant look and the frowning forehead relate to us his dis¬ satisfied feeling. Probably he has not used the Word as a lamp and as a light at various occasions. Our ambitious group is a picture of variety. Ontario, British Columbia and Manitoba are all represented. Married and single students are here. People with a pro¬ fession already acquired and people without a faint glimpse of what someday will be their work, are all concentrating on the same subjects. Active Sunday School teach¬ ers and future Sunday School teachers are seated together. To be sure, variety is present in our classroom. The picture of such a group may stir up certain questions. Why did these young people come here? The sincere desire to know more of His Word, to clearly see His will for life, to be able to fight life’s battles with fewer defeats, and to be able to tell of His love to all mankind, are some of the answers to this question. What an extra¬ ordinary class this would be if all the students would continually keep these pur¬ poses in mind. If we claim to have come for these reasons, what then do we learn during our stay? Many facts become ours in a short period of six months. Many Biblical truths are revealed to us. However, all will be in vain if we have not learned to be “ready for service lowly or great, .-eady to do His will.” Adina Goertzen. SROSSWEIDE M.B.

Johannes 4:19. 42 A Day in First Class At nine o’clock in the morning, our first class members, along with the other stu¬ dents, gather in the chapel for a fellowship meeting. It is here that we receive daily strength from God’s holy Word, through the message of our teachers. Upon entering our classroom, our motto greets us. Day by day, it remains un¬ changed. Our prayer as a class, is as it is found in Psalm 86:11, “Teach me Thy way, C) Lord; I will walk in Thy truth.” With this in mind, we are equipped to concentrate on “Fundamentals of Faith.” Dr. Huebert brings various problems and solutions to our attention. We can feel the presence of Christ in this hour as we discu.ss the plan of salvation through to the eternal home in Crlory. In the next period, our Biblical knowledge is made practical. Many of us know where Jerusalem is—but can’t seem to locate it on a map! Mr. Goossen practises patience while we practise geography. After our noon time meal, we hurry back to our places, ready for a class of German grammar with Mr. B. B. Boldt. How often we get that grammar twisted! However, with earnest study and faithful instruction, we hope to master the grammar, so that we can become better witnesses lor Christ. Next, we are shown how we must learn of the early church, and the apostles, Paul in particular. Mr. Redekop reveals one truth after another in the Acts period. To end the day, Mr. J. B. Boldt enters the classroom to help us gain an insight into the Life of Christ. How blessed it is to study the humble, yet exaltant life of our Saviour here on earth. We leave our day of classes and proceed homeword to commence our homework. Though each day is busy, the next demands preparation. As we recall the days during which we have been “sitting at the feet of Jesus,” we realize that our stay here has been very profitable. Verna Penner. MANITOU M.B.

Samuel 7:12 zu: “Da nahm Samuel Mizpa und Sen und hiess ihn Eben-Ezer Herr geholfen.” 48 N EVERY good work to do his will. -- Heb. 13:21. The Christian ' s Song Psalm 100:1,2: “Make a joyful noise unto the Lord all ye lands. Serve the Lord with gladness: conic before his presence with singing.” The Christian sings. His song, however, differs greatly from the song of the world. It expresses true joy, not mere gaiety, a lively hope, not sorrow, as well as indescrib¬ able peace in place of discontented resigna¬ tion. The emotional nature of a song is the result of an experience. A Christian song is born when someone is particularly im¬ pressed by some aspect of God’s dealing with man. The message of this song can only be a blessing to the listeners when the performer realizes the true meaning of the experience described. When words fail, a song will supply the need. Many doors are open for our student body to serve God and humanity in song. Those who have been privileged to serve in this manner have been rewarded by heartfelt expressions of gratitude for the Christian message in song. Susan Enns. June Enns. Many people would like to go to heaven by an underground railway; secrecy suits them. Some are hindered in their usefulness by their great dignity. He who boasts of being perfect is perfect in folly. Look you well to your integrity, and the Lord will look to your prosperity. 49 SINGING Rudy Martens, Jolm Frocse, John Pcnner, Henry Krickhan. Katie Froese, Margaret Janzen, Margaret Funk.

One is the field of Daily Vacation Bible Schools, and the other is the Winkler Bible Camp. The Lord has so led that we have open doors into the schools and homes of widely scat¬ tered districts. Over and over again we have found that the field is ready, that we have the necessary means, but we do not have the workers. One open field is the large Mennonite area south of Winkler. In it wc find a number of villages which date back to the pioneer days of Manitoba. They are in¬ habited by people to whom we are related bv ties of race, culture and background. There is an increasing spiritual hunger among them, a hunger which can only be met by the Lord Jesus Christ, the Bread of Life. Surely we are debtors to them. Then there are great needs for the Gospel in our home mission stations in Manitoba— Winnipegosis, Ashem, Lindal, and Horn- dean. In these areas wc can reach children Camp director. of many nationalities, in out-of-the-way places, and in needy circumstances. Many of these children live in great spiritual and moral darkness and need “the light of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Ghrist.” Each year the Winkler Bible School sends out a call to its present students, to former students and graduates, and to Ghristian young people of our churches to take up the challenge of the work among the chil¬ dren. Last year, the season of 1954, certain circumstances prevented us from throwing our full weight into the work. Let us seek to make 1955 a good year, one in which the Lord Jesus shall find many precious young lives because we have helped to point them to Him. J. B. Boldt.

Dormitory A Cry From Heathendom “Why didn’t you tell us sooner?” The words came sad and low; “O ye who knew ' the Gospel truths, Why didn’t you let us know? The Saviour died for those who sin. He died to save from woe; But we never heard the story, Why didn’t you let us know?” (W.T.M.) If you are too busy to pray, you are busier than God wants you to be. We cannot take any money to Heaven, but we can send it on ahead. Tell someone a piece of your mind and you will lose peace of mind. Gehe deinen Weg so weit er offen steht Dann wird der Herr dir zeigen wie er weiter geht. .58 Susie Janzen Tienne Klassen Annie Janzen Head Cook Impressions of Dorm Life Life in the men’s dormitory has proved itself to be both interesting and beneficial. To its forty-five inmates, it has been a real home away from home. Let us briefly look at some activities carried on in the dormi¬ tory. It is of great importance that we as students put theory into practise. The dor¬ mitory affords an excellent opportunity for this. Here other people’s viewpoints are considered, and brotherly love is exercised. Here also, we learn to adjust ourselves to the varying conditions of life. Much credit we owe to our three cooks, who have so ably provided for our physical needs. We certainly have enjoyed their skilfully prepared food. Facilities for recreation have also been ar¬ ranged. We have put the ping pong table, checkers, crokinole into good use. We are also fortunate in having a piano in our recreation room, and frequently we gathered around the piano for a hearty sing-song. If you were to enter our home during its study hours, you would be impressed by its quietness. We have elected two brethren who remind us of the rules occasionally, if we tend to become restless. Also, our two teachers in the dorm have had a stabilizing effect upon us. The height of our blessing at the dormi¬ tory is reached at our weekly prayer gath¬ ering. It is indeed impressive, to see some forty brethren unite in prayer for a com¬ mon cause. At the end of every day, a half hour is set aside for private devotions. What a thrill it is to walk along the corridor, and to hear the brethren in every room, wor¬ shipping their Creator! I am thankful for the three years spent at the boys’ dorm, and I would strongly recommend it to everyone who wishes to visit our school. Henry Funk. 59 DOMAIN M.B.

As wind and weather have its effect on rocks and mountains, so dormitory life also has helped in moulding our characters. The first day was a day that will long linger in our memory. Everyone was silently observing the next person from the corner of the eye. Our shyness soon passed with the weeks, and the atmosphere became friendly and homey. Now, upon entering the dorm, one is greeted in various ways. We are always aware of the fact that our circle is incomplete, when some of the girls go home for the week-end, and we arc glad when Monday brings them back again. Many a Sunday School lesson, recitation, story, or sermon is practised on a silent and attentive audience—the vegetables in the basement. Our appetites are satisfied by the delicious food which our cook skillfully prepares for us. It is indeed, a lively group that gathers in the dining room at mealtime. Our ap¬ preciation goes out to our cook, who so efficiently looks after our needs. Many and wonderful are the blessings received and shared at our weekly prayer meeting on Monday night. Our motto, John 3:30, “He must increase but I must de¬ crease,” is truly the prayer of each one of us. In the name of all my fellow dorm-mates, I wish to hereby express our thanks, first to God, then to those who made it po.ssible for us to stay in the dorm. May the Lord bless you for it.

Henry Brucks, Mildred Enns, Rev. A. Block Bible and Missionary Week God had rich blessings in store for us during these conference days. The emphasis was Gospel and Missions. The needs and problems of the multitudes of India were presented to us by Miss Mild¬ red Enns, missionary home on furlough. Being a sincere Christian is a “life and death matter” in India, Miss Enns told us. Before making a decision for Christ the native must count the cost because of all that this step involves. Many follow the Lord regardless of the dangers, seeing they have nothing to lose and eternity to gain. Brother Henry Brucks, home on furlough after a term of mission work in Africa, gave us an insight into the work done among the Negroes. There are complex problems and difficulties, but Brother Brucks emphasized the fact that with the experience of re¬ generation many of these problems auto¬ matically vanish. The language problem existing because of the many tribes each The Word of God The Word of God is a river of pleasure. The Word of God is food for the mind, The Word of God, it faileth never. The Word of God is pleasure to find, The Word of God is a message of love, The Word of God, it came from above. with their own dialect, has been solved with the composition of a “trade” language. Thus many tribes can be reached with the gospel through the use of this one language. We were touched by Brother Brucks’ deep sin¬ cerity and concern for the souls of the African people. The main thing is to give them the gospel, he said, but medicine and physical aid can be used successfully as a means to that end. We were also privileged to have Brother A. Block from Virgil, Ontario, with us. He led us in a study of the book of Colossians, under the theme of “Christ the Head of the Church.” Christ was pictured as the pre¬ eminent one in Creation, in the Church, in Salvation and in the life of the individual believer. Dependence upon Christ and duty to our fellow Christians were stressed. We pray that we might walk worthy of our calling and apply the truth in our daily life. Henry Teigrob.

So long, says the child. Too short, says the gray-beard. A mere vapor in the life of a people. But long or short, what have we done with the time? A traveller asked a group of construction workers what they were doing. “I am cut¬ ting stone,” grumbled the first. “I am making $5.00 a day,” came from another. “I am building a cathedral,” smiled a third. Parents maintain schools. Youth attends school. Your school has provided this ser¬ vice for thirty years now. That is a gen¬ eration in the human story. A brief span of years, yes. Yet in this time literally hundreds of young men and women have gone in and out of its doors. Had they and they alone been touched by the bless¬ ings, those healing waters, that from it flow, the value would already be inestimable. The influence of a school is much greater. It is like the ever widening circle made by a pebble thrown into water. If we think of the teachers of day and of Sunday schools, of the ministers and missionaries that have gone forth from it, the sphere of influence spreads out incalculably far. When President Abraham Lincoln was asked to dedicate Gettysbury cemetery the guest speaker was a scholarly orator. He spoke for two hours. His words, no doubt, can be found in musty archives. Every American boy and girl memorizes Lincoln’s two-minute address. In like fashion, the humblest pupil of a school may be touched by that celestial fire whereby he in turn inspires countless others with that spiritual flame the world needs so sorely. My wish for your school is that it may continue to be a bulwark of Christian living in our community and through your stu¬ dents continue to make its contribution to the honor and glory of God through the ages to come.

Das Wort ist Schriftgemiiss, einfach und klar verkundigt worden. Dieser Besuch hat Alt, und Jung schon vielfach aufgerichtet und gestiirkt. Unsere lieben Alten werden noch oft von dem Feinde der Seele angefochten, oft ist der Kampf, wenn auch im verborgen- en, so doch heiss und schwer. Auch die Arbeiter kommen tiiglich in manchen Sehwierigkeiten hinein, wo allein das Wort vom Kreuz hiniiber helfen kann. Wir sind nebst Gott, der Schule sehr dankbar fiir diesen Dienst. Unser Heim ist ja noch jung, doch haben wir hier schon viel Segen geniessen diirfen. Ausser den Mittwoch Abend Andachten, haben wir auch jeden Sonntag morgen Gottesdienst. Zudem kommt Br. W. J. Wiebe, Morden, zweimal wochentlich zum Heim um personliche Besuche zu machen und Seelsorge zu pffegen. Fiinf unserer Pffegebefohlenen sind im letzten Jahr in die Ewigkeit gerufen worden. Da beten wir mit dem Psalmisten, “Lehre uns bedenken dass wir sterben miissen, auf dass wir king werden.” Die Winkler Bibelschule darf nun auf 30-jahrige Arbeit zuriick schauen. Wir als Tabor Heim Familie wiinschen Ihnen fiir die Zukunft Gottes reichen Segen mit Heb- riier 6:10, “Denn Gott ist nicht ungerecht, dass cr vergesse cures Werks und der Arbeit der Liebe, die ihr erzeigt habt an seinem Namen, da ihr den Hciligen dientet und noch dienet.” Anna Regehr und Louise Rempel. 79 Making a jo; LENA M.B.

Periodical godliness is perpetual hypocrisy. A fool soon makes up his mind, because there is so very little of it, but a wise man waits and considers. It is more necessary for us that we should make a discovery of our faults than of our virtues. We incline to attach undue importance to matters which are proper and useful in their places; but which are by no means essential to salvation. 84 Compliments of DR. H.
