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

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.

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
