This privilege ofy ' -’-• ' cv7v ' being a co-worker with God is bestowed on all who accept His call. ' •AG- ' -:For God not only calls us to salvation but also invites us to labour ! ■ v ■;•••,■ with Him in the realization of His Divine plan. To everyone He gives his respective work. Paul, as an apostle to the Gentiles, planted, Appollos watered, but the increase came from God. This principle of service in the Kingdom of God holds true today. At this time we remember the late Dr. A. H. Unruh who, to- . , gether with others, in faith founded this school 36 years ago. ' The Lord has blessed this work and many lives have been enriched . through the study of God’s Word. •: The contents of this book serve as a token that the Lord has y been gracious to us during the past months. It is my prayer that 7 in the coming years the Lord may lead and direct each one of you ' to become a faithful co-worker with Him wherever He would have you serve.

Ein Wort des Schuldirektoriums Es ist doch eine Gnade unseres grossen Gottes, das die Winkler Bibelschule “Pniel” hat seit ihres Bestehens (1925) 35 Jahre ohne Unter- brechung, arbeiten koennen. j Teure Lehrer-brueder haben mit grosser Aufopferung versucht Ewig- keitswerte in junge Leute hinein zu tragen, deren Segen wir ueberall erkennen koennen. Auch in diesem Jahre fuehrte der Herr uns eine Gruppe tuechtiger Brueder und auch Schwestern her, die da willig waren zu lernen und ins Wort hinein zu gehen. Unter Anleitung unser Lehrer, welche uns ebenfalls vom Herrn geschenkt, haben sie gearbeitet, um etwas Bleibendes zu schaffen. Dafuer danken wir Gott! Und auf dem Grunde, darob man mal anfing hier zu bauen, wird heute noch gebaut. Ja, einen andern Grund kann niemand legen ausser dem, der gelegt ist, Jesus Christus. I Kor. 3:11. Das moechte auch fuer die Zukunft so sein und bleiben! Und in denen, die hier einmal zur Bibel- schule kamen, das Fundament sein, worauf sie weiter bauen. Dann sollte es uns an keinem Guten mangeln weder in Heim, Gemeinde, noch in der Konferenz! Das walte Gott! J Rev. F. H. Friesen. STUDENTS S n jrO?r no £?

V STATEMENT I plan to enter the Bible School .j Month Day Year , and if accepted I am willing to abide by all the regulations of the school and chee. fully do whatever work is assigned to me. I plan to reside in a private home whil at school I plan to reside in the Dormitory Date Signature 22 2 R H %W � ‘ v jg 1 n ? w I FrHlB During the course of our school term some of the members of the ' third class have had an opportunity to serve in the regular mid-week •vChurch School in the Winkler M.B. Church. The work consists of class teaching and leather craft. It is a great blessing for us to impart to others something of that which we have received in such abundance at school. Realizing the tremendous potential for good or evil in these children it is our earnest prayer that we may in some way help in winning them ' 0 to Christ and for a life of service to God. Claiming the promise of Isaiah 55:11 “My word shall not return unto ' me void,” we trust that the seed we are sowing will fall on good grount and will bring forth fruit for eternity. Lydia Nikkei. A weekly program consisting of songs, testimonies, and a message in both the German and English language is rendered in the Morden Tabt r C lome. It is a joy as well as a blessing for us to see the faces of these dear ' K people light up as we speak and sing to them. Another avenue of service which is open to the students is that of N singing in the local hospital. A duet, trio or quartet serves daily. Our ' prayer is that in some way we may have been a comfort to the sick, as| ' well as an encouragement to the staff not to become weary in well-doing. ' A With the promise of I Cor. 15:58b “forasmuch as ye know that you G labour is not in vain in the Lord,” we pray that this service mighA t continue to be a blessing. t O ' -——-V Esther Toews 24 “It is more blessed to give than to receive” —Acts 20:35 X I believe all of us at Bible School found this to be true after returningX home from a day of “Good Cheer.” X X The student body was divided into twelve groups. A large area wasX. X covered, north to Carman, south to the U.S. boundary, east to GretnaX Xand west to Morden. Most of the homes visited received us gladly. Some seemed hostileX •S X and hardened to the gospel, waiting only for the material goods they wereX X to receive. There were many homes, however, that opened their hearts toX £ Xthe gospel, and it was hard to say whether the ones serving or the onesX X served received the greater blessing. X £- X We all realized how prone we are to take our material and spiritual ' ft. Xabundance for granted. We were thankful that we could give. Irene Loewen The key to our deputation work this year has been, “To praise the Lord and to shew forth his marvellous works.” It as been our privilege to visit most of our churches in Manitoba y as well as becoming acquainted with some of our American friends. Our X programs in the month of December were highlighted by the presentation X of a Christmas Cantata, “The Miracle of Bethlehem.” We experienced X . X much joy in presenting it, and we trust that the hearers also received jy a blessing. X We truly enjoyed visiting the various churches because we were so X warmly received by all of them. These visits have helped us to become W X better acquainted with the Christians who are prayerfully supporting the work of our school. .. V Clarence Janzen 25 Praying Always Missionary Prayer Groups J in Col. 4:3, the apostle Paul encourages us to pray for Christian r orkers. In response to this, special mission prayer groups are janized in our school. The student body is divided into six groups, a group meeting once a week to pray for a special mission Through letters from the various missionaries and reports by the students we repeatedly realize the need to intercede missionaries and their work. These prayer meetings are blessing to us and spurn us on to continue praying more been said, “we cannot all be missionaries but we can all arriors.” Therefore let us follow the command given to us in I Thess. 5:17 “Pray without ceasing.” Erna Heier I Prayer Meetings •‘W W Prayer is of great importance to each and every Christian, but it must be accompanied by purity and sincerity of heart. In James W. ’’7 5:16 we read, “The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous many availeth much.” Class prayer meetings were held weekly. The men’s and ladies’y ■ ' prayer meetings were also held Monday and Tuesday nights re-y spectively. The procedure of these meetings was basically the same.y We began with the singing of several hymns; the prayer meetingsy were then opened by the students in charge, who asked for prayery requests. So often we had the opportunity to intercede for mis-y sionaries abroad and also here at home. Personal prayer requestsy were also presented. A portion of Scipture was then read and we divided into groups, bringing our requests before the Lord, know- ftng He would answer them in some way. After prayer we gathered for a testimony meeting, where students related personal experi- fences; answers to prayer and thanksgiving for personal salvation. Through these prayer meetings we have seen problems solved and needs met. With Paul we must say; “But my God shall supply all your needs according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.” Frank Dyck 27 Missionary Project Our mission project was a very vital part of our school pro -j gram. Each year the students support a mission endeavour. This) year we undertook to send $145.00 to Japan for Bible School scho - j larships and $155.00 to Brazil for Bible School equipment. To have some object which would create as an incentive toy f give, several students constructed a replica of a mountain of plastery ' of Paris 2 y% feet in height (and incidentally, weighing approxi-y (mately 100 lbs). Winding around the sides of the mountain was a (road which led to the top. Sign along the way marked the various ' stages in our progress toward the financial goal of our project ' Daily we watched eagerly to see if the jeep had made any progress.y When the jeep “had stalled” for some reason we were reminded ; I to pray and to give — not out of a sense of duty, but rather, moti¬ vated by love for Christ and for those who are yet without the f Saviour. Verses such as Acts 20:35 and IlCor. 9:6 and 7 showed us they (blessedness of giving. We were thankful that God had given usy ' means with which we could further the work in his vineyard. Elizabeth Poetker The Radio Ministry We as students and teachers of the Winkler Bible School have opportunity to participate in radio work. Radio Station C.F.A.M. makes it possible for us to spread the wonderful gospel of Jesus Christ to various homes bi-weekly at 12:40 P.M. on Sunday. Before recording each program we pause for a moment of prayer, asking God to meet the need of those to whom we minister. Each program consists of several songs by the Radio choir, a testi¬ mony, a special number in song and an expositional message on I Peter by Rev. H. Lenzmann. It is our sincere desire that these broadcasts might serve to strengthen and enrich the hearts of the listeners and that Christ’s kingdom may be furthered as a result of this ministry We wish to thank you for your prayers on our behalf, and may the Lord continue to bless this work as He has already done. _Ken Fast Director Rev.

The Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?” —Psalm 27:1 SUSIE KLASSEN Winkler, Manitoba For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ. — I Cor. 3:11 Living in the dormitory with twenty-five fellows from four different unique but enriching experience. For most of us the day provinces is a begins at 7:00 A.M. with the sound of the rising bell. Half an hour later the sound of the bell is heard again and we make our way to the dining hall for Scripture reading and prayer before partaking of a good break¬ fast prepared by our kitchen staff. The dinner and supper meals find a larger number at our tables as the students from the girls dormitory join us for these meals. After meals the tennis table and crokinole board afford opportunities for release of excess energy. One of the most vital aspects of dorm life is that of spiritual fellow¬ ship. From 10:30 - 11:00 P.M. we share our blessings and burdens with room-mates or fellow students in our evening devotions. The Thursday night dorm prayer meetings are a very real source of strength and fellow¬ ship. Our desire is that our stay may yield lasting benefits. __ Jake Siebert 31 “Love endures long and is kind . . . love is not out for display ... it hopes under all circumstances and endures without limit.” Life at the j dormitory provides ample opportunity for practical application of spiritual S principles. “Rough corners” are rounded and smoothed and our lives are i enriched as a result of close fellowship with one another. If the “corner j room” could speak perhaps it would relate of spiritual battles fought and j won, of joys and sorrows. In this respect we have learned to appreciate J our dean as a source of strength and guidance. At 7:30 we assemble for a few moments of meditation on a Word of Scripture. This is followed by a hearty breakfast. Physically strengthened we leave for school where the Word of God is presented to us. As we study daily it becomes increasingly precious to us. All too soon it is 3:45 and a brief period of relaxation at the dormitory is enjoyed by 13 girls as they discuss the events of the day. Studies are resumed at 7:00 p.m. and silence prevails between the hours of 7 to 11 except for a half hour break period at 9:00 p.m. “Quiet time” is followed, by “lights out” and darkness envelopes the home as another day comes to an end. ■j Hanneliesel Unruh 32 Living in private homes has proven to be quite interest¬ ing and enjoyable. Here we learn to know our room-mates and can have fellowship together. How we often wish, when we come home at noon, that we could sit down at a ready meal, but of course we are just confronted with an empty table and a cold stove. Often some school activity is scheduled for one o’clock, so there is a mad rush to quickly eat something and go back. The conversation around the table varies. We discuss previous classes and classes to come. Students and teachers are also discussed at times. We have learned to say, with the writer of II Peter in chapter 1:3 “According as His divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him that hath called us to glory and virtue.” Eleanor Baerg 33 ZUMi lllHlllllllllUllllliii! ANDENKEN Dr. A. H. Unruh ist vielen bekannt als Prediger, Schriftsteller und Bibellehrer. Wir, die gewesenen Schueler der Winkler Bibel- schule, nannten ihn, mit Hochachtung, meis- tens “Lehrer Unruh”, denn er war uns ein ge- schaetzter Lehrer, und ein nachahmends- wertes Vorbild. Einmal war er uns ein Vorbild im Ler- nen. Er schien unermuedlich zu sein im Sammeln von Kenntnissen. Niemals sah man ihn muessig, niemals unvorbereitet. Infolge seiner Leistungen auf Theologischen Linie wurde ihm der Ehrentitel D.D. ueberreicht Weiter war er ein Vorbild im Lehren. Sein Unterricht in der Klasse war stets anregend. Seine weit-entwickelte natuerliche Begabung, seine heitere Natur und seine stete Bereitwilligkeit zum Dienen, machten ihn weit bekannt und beliebt. Er respektierte die Erkenntnis anderer Brueder, jedoch blieb die Bibel ihm die letzte Autoritaet. Dann war er uns auch ein Vorbild in der Selbsthingabe. Im Jahre 1925 - 26 fing er den Bibelschulunterricht an in einem Privat- hause, mit einer kleinen Gruppe Schueler. •Jegliche Textbuecher fehlten. Er selbst lebte mit der Familie in armen Verhaeltnissen. Im Jahre 1926 gab er Anregung zum Bauen der Winkler Bible Schule. Allgemein hatte man as zu tun mit finanziellen Schwierigkeiten. Einige sahen nicht die Moeglichkeit so eine Schule zu bauen, andere erkannten nicht die Notwendigkeit. Die Schuelerzahl blieb klein und das Schulgeld war gering, und die Lehrer lebten meistens davon was ueber- blieb nachdem die Unkosten gedeckt waren. So fing das bedeutende Werk der Winkler Bibelschule an. Br. Unruh war uns nicht nur ein Vor¬ bild, sondern auch ein Vater in Christo. Er war stets besorgt um eine gesunde geist- liche Entwickelung seiner Schueler. Er hatte ein wackeres Auge fuer geistliche Krank- heitssymptome und hatte immer Zeit fuer unsere geistlichen Beduerfnissen. Mit dankerfuelltem Herzen denken wir heute an unsere Lehrer, die uns das Wort Gottes gesagt haben. Moechte das Werk der Winkler Bibelschule, das der liebe Bruder ins Leben rief, noch lange zur Ehre Gottes und zu seinem Gedaechtnis fortbestehen.

GENERAL INFORMATION Historical Statement The Winkler Bible School was founded in the year 1925 by Rev. A. H. Unruh. The need for such a school was felt by a number of earnest Christian leaders. The school be¬ gan to operate as a private institution and instructions were also given in a private home. The interest in this work of the Lord increased steadily, so that an administration building was erected, which had to be en¬ larged twice to accommodate the students. Two dormitories were procured in order to provide lodging for the students. Twenty-three instructors (including two private lesson teachers) have taught in this school. Rev. A. H. Unruh was the first prin¬ cipal and held this position for nineteen years. The brethren who followed him in that position were: Rev. J. G. Wiens, Rev. H. H. Redekop, and Rev. G. D. Huebert. In the year 1944 the Mennonite Brethren Conference of Manitoba assumed the respon¬ sibility for the administration and operation of the school. For nineteen years it has func¬ tioned under the leadership of the faculty. Since then the conference has been respon¬ sible for its operation. Many young people have received their training in this institu¬ tion. A substantial number of them are now serving in various fields of Christian service at home and abroad. The blessings of the Lord have rested upon this institution in the past, and we pray that His benediction be also upon it now and in times to come, so that many more young people can receive their Biblical training here for an effective Christian service in God’s vineyard. The Administration Building was erected in 1926. After a few years, a second story was added, and in 1938 this building was enlarged to twice its former size. It now has an extensive auditorium, four class rooms, an office, a teacher’s room, library, and in the basement it has two wash rooms, a tennis room and a kitchen. The Ladies ' Dormitory is about two blocks from the school. It has seven rooms for students, a kitchen and a dining room. The majority of the lady stu¬ dents stay in private homes. The Men ' s Dormitory is about four blocks from the school. It was procured in 1944. This building has two stories and a full basement. On the second storey there are twelve rooms for students and a washroom. The main floor has thirteen rooms for students, a recreation room and a washroom. A large dining room and kitchen are found in the basemet. Students Standards All students are obligated to maintain a high standard of Christian conduct as is becoming of Christian men and women. Questionable amusements, card playing, dan¬ cing, theatres of any kind, use of tobacco and intoxicants are prohibited. The students are further expected to submit to spiritual ad¬ monition, exhortation and correction. The school reserves the right to dismiss any stu¬ dent who will not conform to the spiritual and ethical standards of Christian conduct as accepted by the school. Devotions The life of our school thrives on prayer. In view of the great importance of regular and systematic habits in devotion, the school offers its students the following: 1) daily private devotional periods, morning and eve¬ ning, 2) daily morning devotions in school, 3) weekly prayer meetings for men, 4) week¬ ly prayer meetings for women, 5) special prayer meetings, private and public, as occa¬ sions may arise. Students are required to attend all chapel services unless officially excused. Practical and Gratis Work A supervised practical work program is an integral part of the training offered by the Winkler Bible School. The students are urg¬ ed to engage in some form of Christian acti¬ vity during their training period. The activi¬ ties are the following: visitation in hospitals and in homes for the aged, personal work, Sunday school teaching, house visitation in the homes of the poor and the sick, weekly evangelistic services in school and in sur¬ rounding areas, programs in school districts, mission stations and churches. Besides their missionary activities, the students are also required to give some of their time to the school for services which will be arranged by the student supervisors. This arrangement fosters the spirit of co¬ operation and sacrificial service, makes di¬ version possible and helps to reduce the operating cost of the school. This type of work was carried on by the students for many years and has worked out satisfactorily. Dress Bible school students should dress with becoming modesty at all times. Simple ser¬ viceable clothing is desirable. At all public meetings representing the school, students should dress becomingly; ladies are expected to appear in three-quarter or full length sleeves. What to Bring For your rooms you will need a pillow, quilts or blankets, all bed linen, bed spreads, curtains, and other personal equipment that you may desire. Chairs, tables, bedstead and mattress are supplied in the dormitories. Special arrangements must be made in pri¬ vate homes. Also bring your Bibles (German and English), Bible dictionary, standard diction¬ ary, and other reference books which may be in your possession. Publications of the School Every year the students, under the su¬ pervision of the faculty, produce a yearbook, which gives a general review of the activities and life of the school. Frequently the news or reports of the school are published in some of the local papers. Annual Bible and Missionary Conference Since there is a great need for Bible emphasis and missionary expansion, the school has introduced this annual conference which usually lasts three or four days. Bible expositors and missionaries from the home¬ land and abroad then serve the school and its friends. Teachers and students take an active part in the conference. This annual confer¬ ence has stimulated and strengthened the in- 55 terest in God’s Word and in the cause of missions, and it challenges believers to put forth greater effort in the cause of the Lord. The Library The Winkler Bible School has more tan 1500 volumes in its library. The impor¬ tance of research work is recognized, and therefore the school is concerned about the continual increase of the number of books on the various subjects which are taught in this institution. Admission of Students The school accepts men and women of approved Christian character. Each student must fill out the official application form and return it to the official of the school as indi¬ cated in the application form. The minimum age of entrance is sixteen years. Exceptions require special consideration and official action. Students will receive credit for work completed in other recognized schools pro¬ viding it is work which is equivalent to that done in this schcol. Students who have graduated from high- school (Grade XI of Manitoba; Grade XII in some other provinces) may enter the se¬ cond year, but they are required to take some of the most essential subjects of the first year. Graduation of Students Students who expect to graduate, must give evidence of Christian character, sound¬ ness of doctrine and they must also satis¬ factorily complete the prescribed courses from which they expect to graduate.

Evangelical Teacher Training Association In 1930 a movement was started among the Bible Institutes of Canada and U.S.A. for the promotion of a more adequate course of training for Sunday school teachers. Out of this movement grew the Evangelical Training Association, of which the Winkler Bible School is a member. Under the super¬ vision of the Association the Standard Train¬ ing Course is offered at the Winkler Bible School. The requirements—432 hours—will merit awarding of the Standard Teacher’s Diploma. Students who are in school for less than one-half of a term will be charged one-half term tuition. Refunds to those paying in advance, if compelled to drop classes for a good and sufficient cause, will be made ac¬ cording to the above stated principle.
