Im vorigen Jahre fcierte unsere Schule ihr dreissig- jahriges Jubilaum. Wir durften zuriickschauen auf Zeiten schwerer Kiimpfe und doch auch gesegneten Dienstes. Die Bibelschulen waren fruiter unsere ein- zigen Gemeindeschulen, die die grosse Arbeit an unserer Jugend auf den Herzen trugen. Auf diesem Gebiete ist es heute viel anders geworden. Dadurch sind auch die Aufgaben, Kiimpfe und Probleme der Bibelschulen anderer Art. Es bedarf grosser Treue zum Herrn, zu unsern Gemeinden und zur Jugend, ja auch besonderer Weisheit, das Richtige zu tun. Da die Winkler Bibelschule wiinscht, dem Herrn treu zu dienen auch angesichts der neuen Sachlage, legen wir unsere Hande in die Hand des grossen Gottes mit der Zuversicht, dass Er uns auch durchs Dunkel immer wieder zum Licht fuhren kann und wird.

Th Christian Evidence Geography Denn es sollen wohl Berge weichen und Hugel hinfallen; aber meine Gnade soil nicht von dir weichen, und dcr Bund meines Friedens soil nicht hinfallen, spricht der Herr, dcin Erbarmer. Jesaja 54:10 Let’s Look Back “Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding. She is more precious than rubies: and all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her.”—Proverbs 3:13, 15. A glance backward at the past Bible School year brings various pleasant experi¬ ences we had as well as many wonderful truths which we have learned. After months of physical work during the summer, we gather from all over Canada, with only one purpose—to sit at the feet of Jesus. Truly our teaching staff has done all it could to make it possible for us to learn from the Master. Students, who had been here before, did their utmost to make it plain to us that we are all of one large family, the body of Christ. As we gradually learned to know the names of new friends, we also got used to the idea of sitting still for an entire period. Soon we found ourselves taking notes so fast that it was hard to follow the subject. When recess came, it became apparent that much energy had been suppressed during the period of study. Friendly faces were visible all around, giving evidence of our joy of being here. While we were making these physical adjustments, our feelings gave way to a freer Christian love and understanding. We sang in the choir and also in smaller groups. Then other opportunities for service pre¬ sented themselves, and we found that, as we went forth to be a blessing to others, we were blessed i n a special way. As we visited the various homes of the needy, and gave a word of spiritual comfort, we became more conscious of the fact that we have been called by the Lord to an inner fellow¬ ship with Him and with one another. How thankful we were to God that His grace had seen fit to make us ambassadors of good will! How grateful we became for the love and comfort of our parental homes! In school, we received numerous spiritual blessings, as well as many a challenge to our hearts. As we gathered in our class¬ rooms, showers from on high followed our prayers for the Lord’s leading. In the morn¬ ing worship services, the heart was lifted up to a higher level of honour and praise to God as we sang the beautiful hymns from the very depth of our souls. Who did not feel a tug at his heart as the Holy Spirit brought home the spoken Word? So often, indeed, we felt that the God-given message, from the lips of one of His obedient servants, was meant just for us. God knew exactly what we needed most. Why did it happen thus? It hap¬ pened, as many of us came to realize, be¬ cause the sermon had been prepared under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, a result of earnest prayer to God. Everyone of us has seen the importance of prayer in every work for the Lord. What a blessing there is in that inner fellowship with the Lord! He heard our oral testi¬ monies, and saw our personal work. He noticed our determination to flee from sin, and will answer our cries for help in be¬ coming better witnesses for Him in the future. He observed that we tried to pre¬ pare our Sunday School lessons better as a result of our Sunday School Conference and the instruction received in class. It is our prayer to God, that, as a result of this past year, we may go forth better equipped to serve our Lord, our churches, our country, and our fellow-men. Surely, as we look back, we all feel that God has helped us to find wisdom and understanding in His Word this year; and what has more value than these? Praise be to God, who gave us faith in the shed blood of His Son Jesus Christ, and who gave us the Lord’s righteousness in exchange for our sins—all through grace. Mr. Henry Hildebrand. MANITOU M.B.

Valedictory Again the time is rapidly approaching when we will have to say, “fare ye well” to our fellow students. It creates a mixed feeling in us to think that our time spent in this school is now drawing to an end. We are happy and rejoicing in the fact that we have acquired much in these past years. We have seen Jesus. Yet our hearts are saddened to think that we must part from our classmates and fellow students. Probably most of us will occasionally meet again in the various occupations which we will be entering. But for others it may be a lengthier parting. However, the time will come when we will meet again. In looking back at the four years spent in school, we say that truly the Lord gave grace sufficient for each day. Most of us were born again when we started out in school, but perhaps for some it was the place where they experienced a change from death to life. The days got better as we went along and we realized that in a way we all came here for the same purpose—to get the full assurance a child of God should have, to be grounded deeper in God’s Word, “and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear.”—I Peter 3:15. Even though we realize that there is yet much to be drawn from God’s Word we know that we have stepped ahead in many things during these years. What the future has in store for us, we cannot tell. The signs of the times may make us tremble. However, with Christ in the vessel we can smile at the storm. Our prayer is that we may follow Jesus all the way, every day. For we know that as the Apostle Paul was sure of one thing we can also be sure of that same thing: “But my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.” May we, even though our plans may be set, be willing to follow Christ one step at a time. May the work that we do prove to be a fruitful one so that we need not appear empty-handed. May we do what the Apostle Paul urges the Philippians to do: “Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither labored in vain.”—Phil. 2:16. Abe Goertzen. 16 Third Class Speaks In looking back at a year filled with blessings, we stop a moment and ask our¬ selves if it has been worthwhile. We say “yes” and not without reason: the members of the third class have learned to enjoy the fellowship of working together at a common task. This task has been to learn more about God, His Word, and His Work. We realize that without Divine help this is impossible, therefore every week the class has met for a short season of prayer. We have received strength and encouragement for our task through these weekly prayer meetings. All through the year the great work of Christian service has been presented to us in various forms. Our course of study, has led us into a consideration of the fields of Sunday School, Foreign Missions, Homiletics, and Personal Work. Sunday School, as we have seen, is of great importance, not only to our churches, hut also to society, because religion is being neglected in the public schools. In studying missions we have learned how men of God have followed Christ’s command to carry the Gospel to every creature. To know their problems, is a help in their intelligent prayer support. Personal Work was presented to us as a service open to every Christian, yet it is sadly neglected because some of us are so concerned about many souls at one time that we do not focus our attention on one at a time. We have enjoyed our year in Third Class. In working together we have become close friends. When one or another was forced to be absent, the rest of us noticed it immediately. It was as though a link were missing in the chain. In certain re¬ spects we are sorry to leave the school, but we realize that we must go out and put into practice the many things we have learned. May our class motto, I Corinthians 16:13, go with us, “Watch ye, stand fast, quit you like men, be strong.” Allan Labun.

Second Class Report If you have studied the faces and the character “write-ups” of the students of Second Class, you will undoubtedly agree with me when I say that there is a great diversity of character, ability, and ambition. There are those who are quiet and re¬ served while others are very active and are heard before they are seen. This difference is also noted in the recreational activities in which the students engage. Some delight in reading and art, and others enjoy ping-pong and skating. It is evident therefore that there is a great variety in character as no two students are alike. The aptitudes and abilities are also varied. These have been revealed during our course of study and activities. There are those who found no difficulty in completing the numerous assignments on time. They have the ability to do much work quickly and efficiently. In the field of music, we all had an opportunity to learn how to conduct congregational singing. Herein many dis¬ played fine talents and originality. Besides these, we should not forget to mention other gifts such as singing, story-telling, reciting and playing of musical instruments. The ambitions of the class are numerous. Everyone has plans and ideals for the future. I know that the students of the Second Class are striving to follow God’s plan in their lives, and this in the last analysis is what counts. Since God has made each student differently, undoubtedly He has a special place of service for everyone. You may wonder how the Second Class works together in such a harmonious way in spite of the fact that the characters, abilities and ambitions are so varied. No doubt, the answer lies in this fact that in Bible School through the leading of the Holy Spirit, the guidance of the teachers, and the co-operation of the whole student body, the students are prayerfully striving toward this aim: “We would see Jesus.” Henry Janzen.

A Day In First Class As our motto, we as First Class chose, “Study to show thyself approved unto God.” —II Tim. 2:15. This is our longing, but we realize that our Biblical knowledge is only in its rudimentary stage. Therefore, we hope to come back and take second class, if the Lord guides thus. The experiences of a day in First Class are many and varied. The inspiration we receive in the morning during the devotional period, stimulates us to seek God’s blessings and will throughout the day. Our “time-table” tells us that singing comes next. And do we raise our voices! Even though notation gets us down some¬ times, singing revives us again, to the extent that when the instructor comes in to give us an insight on the Life of Christ, we are still humming. We can’t let that beautiful German language slip by, for it can be used to glorify God. Therefore, we practice German spelling. Though sometimes we twist the words so that they convey an altogether different meaning, we hope to master the grammar eventually. The groans of First Class indicate a test in Geography or Antiquities. I’m sure the teacher’s patience is often tried during these classes. But Geography does clarify much that we did not know before. When the instructor of Fundamentals of Faith comes in, we know what is coming. Those tests and the course of Synthesis certainly arouse our thinking. To end the day pleasantly, a glimpse into the Acts of the Apostles is very interesting. The growth of the Church, the predomin¬ ance of the Holy Spirit, Paul’s journeys, and much more is contained in these lec¬ tures. In this course we answer many questions. Homework is a delight. We do not regret that we have spent time studying the Word of God, thus pre¬ paring ourselves for the future that lies before us like a path of driven snow. Pearl Wiebe. Ein Wort vom Direktorium Bald ist das Schuljahr 1955-56 Vergangen- heit, und man hat mich gebeten ein Wort fiir das Jahrbuch zu schreiben. Ich schau in die alten Jahrbiicher hinein. Vor uns liegt in denselben die Geschichte unserer Bibelschule. Die Jahrbiicher der letzten zehn Jahre habe ich vor mir. Da sehe ich sie, unsere teuren, werten Brilder und Schwestern im Herrn. Der Herr konnte sie brauchen. Heute sind sie nicht mehr alle da. Der Herr hat einige schon zu sich ge- nommen. Andere sind ihm gefolgt und dienen ihm auf anderen Platzen. Wie mannigfaltig waren die Gaben, die Gott dem einzelnen gab. Dennoch konnte der Herr ein Ganzes daraus entstehen lassen — und das war unsere Bibelschule. Heute beten wir mit Asa: hilf uns Herr, unser Gott! Denn auf dich vertrauen wir. Wie herrlich lohnte der Herr das Vertrauen Asas! Wir lesen dort: Da schlug der Herr die Kuschiten. Aber es gab neu e Schwierig- keiten im Leben Asas. Baesa, der Konig von Israel, zog gegen ihn herauf. Warum wandtest du dich nicht zuerst an den Herrn, deinen Gott, Asa? War der Moment zu gefahrlich, um dich allein auf den Herrn deinen Gott zu verlassen? Hatte dein Gott dich je getauscht oder verlassen, Asa? Was sagt der Herr dazu? Weil du dein Ver¬ trauen auf den Konig von Syrien gesetzt und dich nicht auf den Herrn, deinen Gott, ver¬ lassen hast, darum ist das Heer des Konigs von Syrien der Vernichtung durch dich entgangen. Waren nicht die Kuschiten und Libyer eine gewaltige Herresmacht mit Wagen und Reitern in grosser Zahl? Aber weil du dich auf den Herrn verliessest, liess er sie in deine Gewalt fallen. Denn die Augen des Herrn iiberschauen die ganze Erde, damit er seine Macht an denen er- weise, deren Herz ungeteilt auf ihn ge- richtet ist. O Herr schenke uns alien ein ungeteiltes Herze!

Boys’ Dormitory Life At The Boys ' Dormitory This past winter has proven to be a time of rich blessing to those of us who reside at the boys’ dormitory. It has been our home for the past months, and has become a place of fellowship and companion¬ ship. Here we have made experiences which we will not easily forget. The Bible School provides for us the theoretical part of our curriculum, while the dormitory provides a place for practical ap¬ plication. The thirty-two students who re¬ side at the dormitory, come from Ontario, Manitoba and Saskatchewan. All have taken part in the activities of dormitory life and have found the training very valuable. Our time here is divided into different periods: devotional, study, and recreational. The first of these has meant very much to everyone, as this is a time which is spent in fellowship, meditation on the Word of God, and in prayer to Him, who has saved us by His grace. During the study period quietness reigns— thanks to the deans. But the silence lasts only until the first sound of the bell, which indicates the recess. Then one hears a general stir in the whole building as the students relax from the strenuous hours of study. We also find time for recreation, during which period we can exercise our wearied bodies. The winter has been long and severe, with plenty of snow. Though at¬ tempts were made to provide a rink, skating was almost impossible. The ping-pong table has therefore been a favorite place for many during leisure periods. Others have made good use of the crokinole board. Everyone heeds the sound of the bell from the dining hall. It indicates that it is time for another delicious meal, which has been prepared by our cheerful cooks. Seldom are they disappointed by the accomplishments of the boys at the table! The work done on Saturday takes on a different character from that of the rest of the week. Our rooms are cleaned and scrubbed and clothes are washed and ironed in preparation for the coming week. This work has proven educational for those with less experience along this line. Wednesday is the highlight of the week. At this time, we, together with the high school boys, who live with us, meet for a time of prayer, testimony and singing. Truly great are the blessings derived from these hours, and we give thanks for the many answered prayers. Now at the close of the year, we are grateful for the time which we have spent here. Our prayer is that the Lord may bless us and also bless others through us, as we go to our respective homes and churches. Jake Penner. LENA M.B.

A Servant Girl ' s Prayer Lord of all pots and pans and things, Since I’ve not time to be A saint by doing lovely things, Or watching late with Thee; Or dreaming in the light of dawn, Or storming heaven’s gates— Make me a saint by getting meals And washing up the plates. Although I must have Martha’s hands I have a Mary mind, And when I black the boots and shoes, Thy sandals, Lord, I find; I think of how they trod the earth, What time I scrub the floor: Accept this meditation, Lord, I haven’t time for more. Warm all the kitchen with Thy love, And light it with Thy peace: Forgive me all my worrying And make my grumbling cease. Thou who didst love to give men food, In room and by the sea, Accept this service that I do— I do it Lord to Thee. .■ Teachers and deans at the boys’ dormitory. hockey game Is the dean studying?

' ’—I Cor. 10:31. The above has become the prayer and desire of each one of us during this winter. As a group of fourteen sisters, from four provinces across Canada, we have come to this dormitory to make it our temporary home. Although some entered it with shy¬ ness and expectancy for the first time, there were others who came back to continue their studies. Sometimes, as we entered the “dorm” at noon, we wondered whether we would get “Vreneke” or “Borsch.” As we shared the blessings of the morning classes across the dinner table, our hunger was satiated by the delicious meals prepared by Katie. We recall our leisure hours, in which we shared experiences in joyful relaxation. These times revived our spirits and gave us renewed enthusiasm to continue our studies. In the quiet of our rooms burdens have been shared with an understanding room¬ mate and many victories have been won. Our weekly prayer meetings have been a means of edification for all, and together we could praise God for answered prayers. We extend a hearty thanks to our faithful deans, who occasionally gave us a gentle reminder, that lights were to be out at 11 p.m., and that the bell at 7:30 a.m. spelled “breakfast.” Here is a place where we daily have had opportunity to put into practical life, that which we have learned. Our characters have been shaped; we have become stronger Christians, and our lives have been enriched through the fellowship with God’s children. Our sincere desire and earnest prayer is that we might better serve those with whom we come in contact and testify for Him, the Giver of all good gifts. Away from home and loved ones, we have, nevertheless, found a real home. The encouraging smile of one, and the cheerful word of another, have helped us to bear our burdens gladly. Though the months which we have spent here have seemed short, they will linger in our memories. Our voices carry a note of sadness, as we say “farewell,” and our hearts breathe a prayer that God will continue to dwell here, in lives that are consecrated to Him.

Our Service In Song “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and ad¬ monishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.”—Col. 3:16. These three types of Christian songs have come to have greater significance for us as we have used them in the various churches. The psalms have their special place, for they are arrangements of Scripture portions which are dear to all. In the hymns, we express worship and praise to God, our Creator. Spiritual or gospel songs also have their significance in that they are one way of expressing our experiences with the Lord and inviting others to share it. Our school is blessed with a large number of talented musicians both in the vocal and instrumental field. When we enter the classrooms during “out-of-school” hours, we are frequently greeted by the ambitious vocalizing or practicing of laborious scales and arpeggios by some of our music students. All are striving to improve in order to better fill the place of service God has for each one. The trios and quartettes especially have two fields of service which have been of great blessing. These are the hospital work and the visits to the Morden Old Folks’ Home. At the hospital a daily half-hour service is conducted between 6:30 and 7:00 p.m. A number of songs are rendered; a Scripture passage is read and prayer is offered by one of the brethren. The visits to “The Tabor Home” are generally made on Wednesday night. There a service of an hour’s duration is conducted by a group of students, who sing a number of songs and give testimonies. A speaker, who is usually one of the teachers or students, delivers a brief message. Some of the songs of our school have been put on records. This year we have again made a number of recordings which we hope will prove to be of great blessings as they are distributed. We, as a school, are thankful for the privilege of serving in song. It is our hope and prayer that this service might be of great blessing to all. June Enns. Serving in the Tabor Home. Singing comforts to the sick. Recording A Visit To Union Gospel Mission “It is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord, and to sing praises unto thy name, O most High. To shew forth thy loving kindness in the morning, and thy faithful¬ ness every night.”—Ps. 92:1-2. We have found that in Winkler Bible School, stress is laid on two points: firstly, the learning of the doctrines as set forth in God’s Holy Word, and secondly, the ap¬ plication of Biblical truths in daily life. As a quartette, the Lord gives us many opportunities to practice that which we have learned. One of these was a visit to the Union Gospel Mission in Winnipeg on December 10, 1955, with Rev. H. H. Redekop at the request of the Winnipeg Christian Businessmen’s Association. At this mission, meetings are held every evening of the week. The congregation of the mission is almost exclusively made up of non- Christians. The meetings are usually well attended. We cannot hesitate to testify to such a crowd of people, whose spiritual need is so vividly expressed even on their faces. The evening was taken up with a chal¬ lenging message delivered by Rev. H. H. Redekop, based on Matth. 27:22: “What shall I do with Jesus,” testimonies, songs from the quartette, and the showing of a film entitled, “A Boy and His Bible.” After the devotional part of the evening a de¬ licious lunch was served. As we discharge our duties, as servants of the Lord, He fills us with His bountiful love. He gives us overflowing joy in His service. He shows us how privileged we are above others. In addition to that, He makes us realize how much there is yet to be done in His vineyard. Gordon Hiebert. Mission Workers Gone Rev. and Mrs. A. A. Unruh—India Rev. and Mrs. H.

Visiting The Needy “He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto the Lord; and that which he hath given will he pay him again.”—Proverbs 19:17. Under the everyday word “poor” most of us understand it to mean “lacking riches.” Not only can we be materially poor, but we can also be wanting in spirituality. Many homes are lacking the riches available in Christ Jesus. It is the aim of our school to visit these homes in and around Winkler each year, to provide cheer and proclaim the glad gospel message. This year 19 students and two teachers participated in this work. We divided into five groups, so as to be able to cover our area more efficiently. Our first duty, upon arrival at the home, was to provide food for the inner man through song, Word and Out From Pniel Rev. and Mrs. John Froese— Miss Olga Pries—Brazil Miss Hertha Voth—Columbia Rev. and Mrs. Ben Klassen—Africa Dr. and Mrs. George Froese—India Miss Sarah Peters—Africa Miss Anne L. Ediger—India prayer for the family. It was a great pleasure to leave Bibles in the homes where they were desired and appreciated. Then the material goods were distributed—food, clothing, and toys according to the need. How gladly the gifts were received! We did, however, find homes where wealth was lacking but they possessed an abundance of riches in Christ Jesus. We rejoiced with them. Where Christ was a stranger, it was our joy to introduce Him to the family and invite them to true fellow¬ ship with Him. The immediate result of this work is that the gospel has been brought into the home and the material need was partially filled. We cannot k now the eternal result, but we have confidence of Isaiah 55:11 that His Word will not return unto Him void. Elizabeth Unger. Mr. W. M. Enns—M.C.C. Mr. Alvin Voth—M.C.C. Mr. D. D.

You cannot change the past, but you can spoil a perfectly beautiful present by worry¬ ing about the future. Think twice before you speak and then say it to yourself. Don’t think the Bible is dry inside be¬ cause it is dusty on the outside. Your elevation may result in your an¬ nihilation. “The man who wants to lead the or¬ chestra must turn his back upon the crowd.” The best possession anyone can have in this world is the Kingdom of God and His righteousness.

But I know One who knoweth well, And has it in His power. The Universe is all His own For all eternity. He fashioned all its laws in love. By grace He shares with me. Now He who all the future holds Knows what will be today, So I can place my hand in His And walk with Him, His way. The things confronting all the world Are dark as blackest night; Yet in the Christ who is the way There is a shining light.
