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.
