Unser Flehen ist erhoert worden und nun duerfen wir mit Samuel sagen: “Bis hieher hat uns der Herr geholfen.” I.Sam. 7, 12. Im Laufe der vergangenen sechs Mo- nate haben die Lehrer in bruederlicher Weise zusammen arbeiten duerfen. Gott gab Gnade zu den vielen Diensten, die zu tun waren. Die werten Studenten, die der Herr als Antwort unsrer Gebete hergefuehrt hatte, haben sich ein Wis- sen angeeignet, das fuer sie einen blei- benden Wert haben wird. Studium und praktische Arbeit waren enge mitein- ander verbunden. Davon gab es mitun- ter so viel, dass manch einer es nicht leicht fand, doch der Herr half durch. Ihm die Ehre dafuer! Es ist unser heisser Wunsch, dass das geistliche Leben in “Pniel” durch das Bi- belstudium vertieft und durch die ver- mehrte Schriftkenntnis die Faehigkeit zum Dienst verstaerkt sein moechte. Es ist weiter unser inniges Verlangen, dass dieses Jahrbuch dazu beitragen moechte, dass alle unsre Fruende einen tieferen Einblick in das Leben und Tun der Schule gewinnen moechten, um dann dem entsprechend fuer das ganze Werk der Schule beten zu koennen. Beim Blick in die Zukunft rufen wir mit Jacob aus: “Ich lasse Dich nicht, Du segnest mich denn.” Lehrer G. D. Huebert. 2 tbmung Ittsmtt mrrtnt mb 0rsrl|artztnt foljrrr OTilltP (§.

Streben nach dem Besten sahen wir auch bei unsern werten Lehrern, die uns der Herr fuer das verflossene Jahr schenkte. Auch die Studentenheime haben sehr treu in der Familie mit-gestrebt. Die Verwaltung dankt Gott und alien teuren Bruedern und Schwestern fuer alles “was in seinem Namen” “fuer Ihn” getan worden ist. Unsere Bitte steigt empor zu ihm; lass auch unsere Mitarbeit ein “Stre¬ ben nach den besten Gaben geblieben sein.” “Ich vergesse, was dahinten ist, und strecke mich zu dem, das da vorne ist, und jage-nach dem vorgesteckten ziel — nach dem Kleinod, welches vorhaelt die himmlische Berufung Gottes in Christo Jesus.” Phil. 3:13-14 Im Namen des Komitees H. P. HARDER Der Juenling soli streben, der Mann erwerben der Greis des Geistes Fruechte erben. ND ®tm? I knelt to pray, but not for long, I had too much to do, Must hurry off and get to work, For bills would soon be due. And so I said a hurried prayer, Jumped up from off my knees; My Christian duty now was done, My soul could be at ease. All through the day I had no time To speak a word of cheer, No time to speak of Christ to friends- They’d laugh at me, I feared. No time, no time, too much to do— That was my constant cry; No time to give to those in need— At last ’twas time to die. And when before the Lord I came, I stood with downcast eyes, Within His hands He held a Book, It was the “Book of Life.” God looked into His Book and said, “Your name I cannot find, I once was going to write it down, But never found the time.” 14 Without Him life is incomplete, So I choose Christ; Apart from Him is sure deteat, And I choose Christ; He said Come unto Me and rest, I came, and all my sins confessed, And since, each moment He has blessed, So I choose Christ. 15 “If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed:” John 8:31. DAVE FROESE, Newton, Man. Our school dean is courteous and thoughtful in all his ways. His efficiency and stability make him an excellent student. EDWARD HAMM, Morden, Man. Constitutes that part of the class which would be missed most of all if it were not there. His potentials paint a bright future. HENRY JANZEN, Elm Creek, Man. Henry redeems the time in service for his Master. He is aggressive and determined in whatever he does. GEORGE J. ZACHARIAS, Winkler, Man. As one destined for the ministry he seeks to equip himself by taking special classes. We benefitted by his presence and wish him God’s blessing. Show me a man with true grace in his heart and I’ll show you a man that does not have to go to church that others may know he is a Christian. 17 VALEDICTORY As we approach the end of another school year, mixed feelings arise within us. This is experienced only by those who know that their days in B i b l.e School are past. These have been years which we will long remember and cher¬ ish. When we look back at the time here, we cannot help but say, “we have seen, Jesus.” These have been years in which we have learnt to adjust ourselves to those with whom we lived. Our Chris¬ tian lives have been stabilized. We have recognized the importance of hav¬ ing the right foundation on which to build. The study of God’s Word has proven to be one which cannot be compared with the philosophy of this world. Hav¬ ing acquired knowledge for three or four years, we realize that the task has only begun. We have seen how fathom¬ less God’s Word is and we join Paul in saying, “O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out!” Rom. 11:23. Though our understanding is often so limited, we have experienced that Christ is able to enlighten our minds and thus, we can derive from the Word the riches contained therein. We have learned to appreciate the great truths of the Bible and to apply them in our lives. The Word of God has be¬ come a source of encouragement when assignments would accumulate like im¬ moveable mountains, a source of instruc¬ tion when important decisions had to be made, and a source of comfort when temptations assailed us. We have been blessed abundantly as we sat at the feet of Jesus, and have appreciated our faithful and patient in¬ structors, who have expounded the Word to us so bountifully. They have been an example to us in taking grace from the Lord to do their work. Often they seemed to doubt whether the lec¬ tures were within our comprehension. They have also been of great help to us when they gave us their valuable ad¬ vice. As Christians, we have been drawn closer to each other through our fellow¬ ship with the Lord. We have learned to admire the good traits of character in others and to tolerate those which are not so appealing. Our studies have put before us the great need of going out into the Lord’s harvest field and of applying the ac¬ quired knowledge. There is also a re¬ sponsibility in having this knowledge and it has become our desire to fulfill this responsibility. As we leave school we think of the words of Jesus in John 8:31, “If ye con¬ tinue in my word, then are ye my dis¬ ciples indeed.” May the Lord help us to continue in his Word.

This of course accounted for a variety of interests, ideas and abilities, but we were unified in our purpose of coming to Bible School namely, to “Study to show thyself ap¬ proved unto God, a workman that need- eth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” II Tim. 2:15. With this in mind, we went about our num¬ erous duties and studies purposefully. Without help from above, this could not have been done. Through our class prayer meetings, which were held once a week, we received strength and en¬ couragement from the Lord, for the tasks that lay before us. The Sunday School Teacher’s Course climaxed in the practical Sunday School lesson, which was taught at a “Thurs¬ day night” program or in the class room. The Personal Work classes will never be forgotten. It was in these hours that the need of the world, and a Christian’s responsibility of spreading the Gospel, was vividly presented to us. Truly, they were heart-searching periods. Are we really faithful in our divine calling? We are grateful to our teachers who, under the guidance of the Holy Spirit expounded the Word of God to us. It is our prayer that the many hours spent in listening to the Word, might not have been in vain, but that eternal values might have been gained from them. It is our sincere desire to be ever mindful of the exhortation of our class motto— “Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.” Matthew 5:16. Anne Enns There are times when Failure is the best thing for us. Prayer is the only way out. We overlook the best of opportunities. We are left alone to draw nearer God.

SECOND CLASS REPORT We as students of second class, feel privileged for the opportunity that has been ours of attending Bible School, to gain a more extensive knowledge of God’s Word. Every morning our class, together with the other students assembled in chapel for brief meditation of the Word of God. These periods of devotion enabl¬ ed us to face the tasks which lay before us, and gave renewed strength for the day. Upon entering our classroom our mot¬ to greeted us with these words, “Com¬ mit they way unto the LORD; trust al¬ so in him; and he shall bring it to pass.’ ' Psalm 37:5. It encouraged us in our studies and reminded us of the fact, that we are not to lean on our own under¬ standing, for without Him, we can do nothing. In the study of “Life of Christ”, we were reminded of the humble and sinless life of our Saviour here on earth. We were led to acknowledge our duty to walk worthy of our high calling. How wonderful were the many bless¬ ings received and shared at the weekly class prayer meeting, by singing, read¬ ing God’s inspired Word, and prayer. It is the sincere desire of each one of us that in all things, Christ might have the pre-eminence in our lives. Looking back at these few months, we realize that we have been sitting at the feet of Jesus. We know that our studies will prove to be beneficial wherever God leads us in the future. The many truths that have been revealed to us made us more conscious of His presence and guidance, and we trust that they will aid in equipping us for better ser¬ vice in the Master’s vineyard.

PICTURE MISSING JACOB VAN DER LINDE, Carman, Man. Left after only a short time of study. FIRST CLASS REPORT “Let the Word of Christ dwell in you richly,” Col. 3:16. This, our motto, ex¬ presses fully the desire with which we came to Bible School—that we could be filled with knowledge of the scriptures and the grace of God, so that our souls might prosper. Firt class consists of twelve students, each of different character and person¬ ality. However, our aim is mutual—to become more like Jesus and to be a liv¬ ing testimony to those around us. Repre¬ senting our class, at all meetings con¬ cerning the student body, were Irwin Koop, class president and Edith Baerg, vice-president. Our studies have been a great source of spiritual blessing to us. Lively dis¬ cussions have stimulated us to deeper thinking and have revealed numerous truths in God’s Word to us. Studying events and characters in the Old Testa¬ ment has been a real challenge. God’s grace Has become especially precious to us in the study of Antiquities. Short spelling drills of important words, help¬ ed us to remember them longer, and added “spice” to this subject. Even the occasional, impromptu number in song has added a link to our choice of plea¬ sant memories. Through much prayer, these studies have become helpful ap¬ plications in our lives. 38 Our class prayer meeting took place every Thursday noon. Through prayer we have been drawn closer to God, and many of these prayers have been an¬ swered. This time of fellowship, each week, has proven to be an immeasurable source of help and strength in our stu¬ dies, as well as the other school activi¬ ties. Throughout the whole year we have discovered, again and again, that God’s Word holds true, and have experienced Christ’s promise in Matthew 18:20 anew, “For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.” Mary Engbrecht Down life’s path the Saviour guides me. This is all I want or need— Just to feel His blessed presence And to know that He doth lead. When the path seems so uncertain, Help me, then, with patience wait, And to never force the issue— ’Till God opens wide the gate. When restraint is laid upon me Then I’ll listen for Thy voice; When that “all clear” sign is given— How it makes my heart rejoice! It is safe to trust God’s methods, His ways are past finding out; What we need is faith triumphant Over every fear and doubt.

This song introduces the Winkler Bible School program every Saturday at 9:15 p.m. Through the medium of radio station CFAM, our school is en¬ deavoring to spread some of the bless¬ ings which God has given to us, in the various homes. This fifteen min¬ ute program consists of several songs, a testimony and a message by one of the teachers. The purpose of this broadcast is preaching Christ to the lost, teaching the Word to the saints, and sharing in the work of Christian Missions. Wednesday afternoon is recording time. The teachers and students as¬ semble in the school chapel. We ap¬ proach the work that is to be done prayerfully, trusting that God will meet the individual need of those to whom we are ministering. As we quietly step up to the microphone, we try to visualize our listening audi¬ ence. We have become better ac¬ quainted with some of you through the letters which you have written to us. The general content of these let ters is expressed in the w ords of I Cor 15:58: ‘Therefore, my beloved bre thren. be ye steadfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.” We thank you for these en¬ couraging letters! During the recording of these pro¬ grams, we have realized our complete dependency on God. We have also been reminded of how quickly time passes and the necessity of redeeming it. May this broadcast be a channel through which its listeners will learn more of the riches to be had in Christ Jesus. Margaret Funk 49 Our missionary project An early-morning task Mr. Duerksen and the librarians LIBRARIAN REPORT Since the library is one of the most important and busiest rooms of our school, we are thankful to all the stu¬ dents for the co-operation they have given us. We also thank our advisor, Mr. Duerksen, for his willing assistance and advice. This work in the library, was done by five of us: Anne Enns, Clara Hyde, Ruth Janzen, Margaret Wiebe, and Martha Hildebrand. We spent many happy hours working in the library. This required, much of our time. It has been very en¬ couraging to us, to see the students make use of the reference books and commentaries. Even to us, the library has proven to be a great help and bless¬ ing as we worked and studied there. The library itself is quite well equipp¬ ed. During the past year we were able to add approximately one hundred books, and at present the library con¬ sists of about one thousand five hun¬ dred and fifty (1550) books. We, as librarians, hope that our library may prove to be a blessing in future years to all who use it. “Knowledge advances in steps, not in leaps.” The librarians 50 CHURCH VISITATIONS It has again been our privilege in this school year, 1957-1958, to go out in var¬ ious groups, representing the Bible School, to visit churches where our school is morally as well as prayerfully supported. Places that have been visited are the following: Gnadenthal, Horn- dean, Alexander, Justice, Boissevain, Lena, Holmfield, Kronsgart, Carman, Burwalde, Snowflake, Manitou, Gross- weide, Morden, Lindal, St. Laurent, Newton, and Elm Creek. In some respects we, the students of “Pniel” can be compared to a child. In order to grow, the child must have phy¬ sical exercise to strengthen its muscles. Thus, we must have an outlet for our abundant blessings that we have receiv¬ ed. Church visitations offer a very good opportunity to express ourselves as young Christians and to have fellowship with other believers. Paul has given ex¬ pression to such a desire in Rom. 1:12, “that I may be comforted together with you by the mutual faith, both of you and me.” We thank those of these respective churches for the open doors of service which they have presented to us, for their warm greetings and appreciation. We know that this was true by the abundance of good food always set be¬ fore us. Certainly their hospitality and their patience with us, as we pre¬ sented the programs were appreciated. Our hope and prayer is that this year’s visitations will have proven to be a blessing to the churches as they have been to us. Henry Hiebert KRONSGART M.B.

We have a system whereby a quartet, trio, or duet goes to the local hospital each day of the week to minister to the spiritual needs of the people there. The procedure is usually that of singing two or three songs, fol¬ lowed by Scripture-reading and prayer by one of the quartet members or any student who has been appointed before¬ hand. This is then followed by several songs. The visit is then concluded by singing a song at a bedside request, or by visiting an acquaintance. We also serve in the Tabor Home in. Morden every Wednesday. The group that is responsible usually arrives about 7:00 p.m. During the course of the even¬ ing one of the students gives a testimony or reads a suitable poem. One of the senior students or a member of the fa¬ culty serves with a short message from God’s Word. This is followed by several songs and closing prayer. As we leave we shake hands with most of the dear old people, whose fellowship we really cherish. Upon request, the various groups also serve in the Salem Old Folks’ Home on Sunday morning. Here the procedure is very much similar to that of the Mor¬ den Old Folks’ Home, except, that this constitutes the Sunday morning wor¬ ship period for the residents. These services have proven to be a blessing both in giving us an opportun¬ ity to develope our talents and also in that we were able to help and comfort our fellowmen. As a conclusion to this short report, I would like to briefly summarize the motive for our work by quoting a por¬ tion of Matt. 25:40, “Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it un¬ to me.” Neil Funk Hilda Martsns 52 Schanzenfeld Sunday School SUNDAY SCHOOL REPORT “Teach me thy way, O Lord, and lead me in a plain path.” Paslm 27:11. We are thankful for the privilege of putting to practice some of the knowledge derived from our studies. Though we realize our insufficiency in doing this work, we say with the Psalmist, “I will go in the strength of the Lord.” In Prov. 22:6 we read, “Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.” Children are the future builders of of our homes, societies, and also the future religious leaders of mankind. What a challenge to teach these little ones the Word of God! Spurgeon says, “I have usually found a clearer know¬ ledge of the gospel and a warmer love for Christ in the child convert than in the adult convert.” May the precious Word sown in these hearts and lives, continue to work and bring them to a 53 saving knowledge of Christ. Sunday School work has been done in the Schanzenfeld district, as well as the local church. At Schanzenfeld, the Sun¬ day School was operating with four tea¬ chers, two of whom were Bible School Students. The enrollment was thirty- two, with an average attendance of twenty. AH the pupils take part in the worship service, which precedes the in¬ dividual class instruction. After roll call and prayer, they are dismissed. One of, our number was privileged to work with a class of ten Junior girls in the local church. The children have been very attentive and eager to hear the stories from the Bible. May the work done, serve as the medium of winning these little ones to Christ. Rita Buhler Checking the list VISITING THE POOR “For the poor shall never cease out of the land, therefore I command thee, say¬ ing, Thou salt open thine hand wide un¬ to thy brother, to thy poor, and to thy needy in thy land.” We as students and teachers of the Winkler Bible School have responded to this command, of the Master, and tried to bring some “good cheer” into the homes of the less fortunate families in the surrounding Winkler district. We are truly thankful to the residents of Winkler for the contributions receiv¬ ed in clothing as well as in money. A sum of three hundred and thirty-one dollars and ninety-eight cents was do¬ nated for this cause. The money was used for the purchasing of groceries and clothing for children. We praise and thank the Lord for the cheerful givers and may He also bless you for it. On December eighteenth and nine¬ teenth, after asking for the Lord’s help, and guidance, thirty-eight students and three teachers started out on this “mis¬ sionary journey.” We divided into seven groups, each of which was assigned a certain district. We are thankful to the Lord for the one hundred and twenty- two homes which were visited, thirty- three of these homes were in Winkler. Our visitation program consisted of songs, Bible reading, and prayer. After this we presented the family with some material goods according to its needs. It truly was a joy to see faces light up and smiles appear on the sad faces of true Christian friends. Unfortunately the people were not only materially poor but many also spiritually. It became the prayer and sincere desire of each one that we might have been able to show forth the love of Christ to these spirit¬ ually dead souls. It is with exceeding joy in our hearts that we can report of some visible fruit derived from this work. One person, was able to receive the Gift of all gifts, the Lord Jesus Christ as her own Sa¬ viour. May the Lord continue to speak to the souls that were contacted and may each one of us also realize our duty and responsibility in bringing in souls for the Master. Frieda Koop 54 MISSION CONFERENCE “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.” Matthew 28:19. (R. V.) 55 MISSIDN CONFERENCE “And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righeousness as the stars for ever and ever.” Daniel 12:3. The importance of winning souls to Christ was presented to us, once again, during this time of fellowship—the an¬ nual Mission Conference — held from Feb. 6-9. The services were held in the morning, afternoon and evening. The latter taking place in the Winkler M.B. Church. Br. Harry Friesen, burdened for the lost souls of the Japanese, gave us a re¬ port of the work of our M.B. Church in that country, illustrating the same ' with interesting slides. The missionaries carry on tent evangelism, camp and radio work, in order to reach the Japan¬ ese. All classes of people are reached; especially the higher educated universi¬ ty students, who are keenly interested in English classes. Because civilization in Japan is much more advanced than. Rev. Harry Friesen—Japan 56 Rev. Willie Baerg —Africa Mrs. Willie Baerg—Africa in most heathen countries, Satan’s at¬ tacks are more subtle, and thus, Christ¬ ians need much power of discernment to recognize the “wolf in sheep’s cloth¬ ing.” Missionaries to Africa, Br. and Sister W. Baerg, challenged us to a greater consecration to God, as we learned of the dearth of consecrated souls. Since Br. Baerg is a member of the faculty, we were already acquainted with vari¬ ous aspects of the field in Africa. The large display of spears and arrows, and the delicacies of the natives, such as ants and worms, besides other items, further aroused our curiousity. Mrs. Baerg, using Edith, her daughter, as a model, illustrated the African mode of dress, and told us of the tasks to be done among the women and in the girls’ compounds. Mr. Baerg’s African display 57 Edith in African costume The crying need of the masses in In¬ dia was presented by Br. J. J. Dick. Thei gigantic opposition to the cause of mis¬ sions was depicted as Goliath, seeking to hinder and destroy. Only the chosen ones coming in “the name of the Lord of Hosts,” I Sam. 17:45, can conquer this force. Missionaries in India are seeking to establish the churches in In¬ dia, so that they will be self-supporting and self-propagating. We realized that all labour is vain unless God gives the increase. I Cor. 3: 6,7: “I have planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the increase. So then nei¬ ther is he that planteth anything, nei¬ ther he that watereth, but God that giveth the increase.” 58 Rev. J. J. Dick—India I choose Christ, for ever and ever, On me He always may depend, I ' ll go wherever He shall send, My life in His blest service spend, For 1 choose Christ. 59 GIRLS ' DORMITORY DORMITORY DAYS Our “dorm” family is made up of thirteen girls coming from three pro¬ vinces of Canada. When we first came here, the place which was to be our home for the next six months, the thought uppermost in our minds was, “Which is my room?” “Who will be my roommate?” However this was soon settled and as we became acquainted with one another and the routine of dorm life, we began to feel quite at home. The activities of the day were many and various. For some the duty of wash¬ ing dishes or cleaning the halls was in¬ cluded as part of the day’s schedule. Others were busily engaged in practic¬ ing piano or vocal lessons. Then of course, there was always homework, which had to be done. Our weekly prayer meetings, at which we brought our petitions before the Lord, have been a real blessing to us. Our motto is found in Psalm 19:14, “Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, my strength and my redeemer.” This has also become the prayer and sincere desire of each girl here in this temporary home. As a dormitory family we enjoyed having visitors. On several occasions the teachers accepted our invitation to spend an evening with us. It was also our privilege to become better acquaint¬ ed with Miss Theaker, representative of Child Evangelism, who paid us a visit. Through her brief stay here, we receiv¬ ed a better insight into the work of reaching the children of Canada with the gospel. Throughout the winter we have had many good times together and have shared the blessings received through Bible study. There were also times when trials came our way, but we have again found I John 5:4 to be true, where we read “And this is the victory that over- cometh the world, even our faith.” Through these experiences we have been drawn closer to the Lord and to one another. We know that our stay at the “dorm” will be long remembered by all of us.

Lasting impressions have been made as we prayed, studied, and cooked together. In various ways we were given the opportunity to put theory into prac¬ tice. We clearly remember the first day, when we unpacked for these short win¬ ter months, not knowing what was in store for us. We shared many blessings with our room-mates, and won victories through Christ. Upon arriving home at noon, we were usually greeted by a cold hotplate and the question, “What will we make?” However, this problem was quickly sol¬ ved by the supply of canned goods in the pantry. A hearty meal was enjoyed as we discussed the previous school hours. Study periods, in a private home, are found at various times of the day, during which we received much grace and knowledge. May the past winter have accomplish¬ ed in us what is stated in Heb. 13:20,21, “Now the God of peace, .make you per¬ fect in every good work to do His will, working that which is well pleasing in His sight.” Ruth Hamm. STEINBACH M.B. GEMEINDE “Denn alle Schrift, von Gott eingegeben, ist nuetze zur Lehre, zur Strafe, zur Besserung, zur Zuechtigung in der Gerechtigkeit, dass ein Mensch Gottes sei vollkommen, zu allem guten werk geschickt.” II Timotheus 3:16,17 65 BDYS DDRMITDRY Teachers and deans The Dorm “A home away from hom a .” rrV|Q dormitory has been just that this past winter, for a number of students from both Manitoba and Ontario. We have been able to join in studies, devotions, and recreation, and have had the oppor¬ tunity to put to practical test that which we have learnt in school. Of all the activities on our schedule the study periods were probably the quietest, (though the deans may not agree!) Despite this, we are thankful to them for their faithful attempt to create an atmosphere conducive to stu¬ dy. However, at the sound of the bell all was forgotten. It announced a short break. Immediately there was a “buzz” over the whole building, as pent-up en¬ ergy found release in recreations such as “ping-pong”, crokinole, and checkers. Throughout the whole winter it has been our privilege to have fellowship with our teachers and fellow students around the table. Before mealtime pre¬ dictions were often made as to the kind of meal that awaited us; and when the bell rang, we all hurried down to the dining hall to confirm the said predic¬ tions: “You’re right, we are having ap¬ ple pie!” We thank the Lord for the blessings we were able to partake of at those times, and are also grateful to the cooks for their work in preparing good meals for us. Our devotional periods have been ve¬ ry precious to all of us. The Wednesday night prayer and fellowship meetings were always a time of special blessing. We thank God for the suggestions and constructive criticism which we were able to exchange for the benefit of our spiritual lives and the molding of our Christian characters. Truly, we are grateful for the train¬ ing that all the different activities here at the dormitory, have provided for us. Our prayer is that we might have been a blessing to our fellow students, and might have been made more capable of serving our Lord, wherever He sees fit to place us.
