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. Edward Hamm 18

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
