SPECIAL STUDENT HENRY A. HILDEBRAND, Winkler, Man. Temporarily gave up teaching to study God ' s Word. Conscien¬ tious. thoughtful and wise. 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.
