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
