The Christian Service Committee this year has tried to get more out of its sheltered environment and get into the world to witness. This has been ac¬ complished somewhat by tract distribution. Groups have also gone to the hospital, both Heritage Manor and the Salem Home for the Aged quite regularly. The Good News Clubs have been enjoyed to quite an extent by those teaching and children have been brought to the Lord. Sometimes groups have been asked to sing at various occasions in Sunday Services and Young People’s meetings. One problem I’ve felt with myself and believe others is ‘what is our motive’. Is this just something to ease our conscience or is it really a service for Christ? It is my prayer that our motives were always Christ-centered and not self-centered. Ron Braun Chairman 27

Most students came to the Bible Institute to study. However, our training would not be complete if it were not possible for us to apply our know ledge. Sure they act as “feelers” in the nervous system of the school, thus aiding the council in providing opportunities for the applica¬ tion of knowledge. The council has attempted to maintain a close relationship between the staff and students, provide for social welfare, and private spiritual growth. We as council thank the students for their co-operation in upholding the principles and spirit of W.B.I. We also thank God for guidance and for definite answers to prayer which we have ex¬ perienced. May God continue to use the Winkler Bible Institute for the promotion of His Kingdom. Bert Baerg (Student President) 26

The Literary Committee has had the privilege of starting the Bible School’s first intramural newspaper, “School Daze”. Teachers and students were given the opportunity to express their views on a variety of topics. We believe the paper has helped students develop literary creativity and has discovered talent which has been lying dormant in many of the students. We have also had the opportunity of presenting a major drama in March. The drama we chose was “The Carpenter”. The aim of the drama was to give students an opportunity to develop their dramatic ability and to bring honor and glory to His name. We, as a committee, would like to take this opportunity to express our sincere thanks to the students and teachers who contributed so much of their time and energy in the work of the newspaper and drama. A very special “thank you” to Mr. Goossen, our advisor, for his many helpful suggestions. Ted Goossen Chairman 28
