JOHNNY FRIESEN— “Friesen, Friesen, we’re frozen!” we shout, Then John runs to see if the fire’s gone out. MINTIE REIMER— Mintie brings her problems and asks us all to pray, We’re sure she’ll witness bravely wherever she may stay. NETTIE EPP— Nettie’s blue eyes sparkle with laughter and with zest, Except when she is facing an essay or a test. MARY BERGEN— Mary Bergen assimilates English so fast She may leave us all far behind at the last. HAZEL DAVIES— Hazel comes from Newdale Where Summer Schools were taught. She learned there of the Saviour And further training sought. PETER KEHLER— Peter is a teacher, so knows more than the rest; But he loves to learn of Jesus, and likes Bible study best. OLGA KROEKER— We all love Olga Kroeker, She’s so quiet and sincere We thank the Lord who brought her To study with us here. Miss Harriet Moore and Mrs. Dave Unrau are both taking special studies with us this year. You will find more about Miss Moore on Page 21. MISS H. MOORE MRS. D. UNRAU We regret the absence of Nettie Epp from the group picture and from the happy family of W. B. I. Unfortunately, she met with a serious accident on her way to school on the morning of February 9. She was hit by a fire engine and sustained a fractured jaw, fractured hip and severe shock. After receiving first aid treatment, she was admitted to Misericordia Hospital where she is receiving the best of care and is progressing slowly but s teadily towards complete recovery, we believe. Nettie was a first year student, very happy and enthusiastic in her work, and we trust that she will be able to return to study with us next term. Meanwhile we miss her greatly and sympathize with her in this long, wearisome time of convalescence inactivity. We are sorry indeed that we are not able to get a picture of Nettie for our Year Book, but just wait till next year!

WINNIPEG BIBLE INSTITUTE Page 18 Messages from First Year Students Three years ago I received Jesus Christ as my Saviour and Lord. I realized that I was not my own, that I was “bought with a price,” and from henceforth I wanted to serve Him who had re¬ deemed me by His precious blood. As our Bible is our sword in the fight for righteousness, I felt the necessity of acquainting myself with its con¬ tents, as well as its use, and therefore came to the Winnipeg Bible Institute. Here my Lord has daily bestowed benefits upon me, for which I praise Him. Realizing that the Bible is not the work and thought of men, but that of the infinite God, we might expect its study to be too big a subject. Nevertheless, by the guidance of the Holy Spirit we discover blessing untold, in exploring its wonderful depths. -—Agatha Doersken. —•— MY TESTIMONY I do count it a privilege to tell you what my Lord means to me. I remember when I was a youngster of about five years of age, that we lived on a farm and mother used to take me to see grandmother. Oh, how I enjoyed going with her! 1 remember one day in particular, in going to see her, that the road was very slippery and the cliffs difficult to climb. I always felt myself slipping and falling; then mother took my hand and I got there safely. Friends, it was the same when first I found the Lord. I came to Jesus when I was seventeen. I tried for some time to live my own way which I thought was best. I thank God heartily that he opened my eyes and showed me that I was His and He alone could keep me from falling. How true that is today. I believe there is many a convert who takes iife into his own hands and says, “ I’ll live my life the way I think is right.” We have yet to get to the place where we realize our own weakness. We will then see the glorious things the Lord can do with a life sur¬ rendered to Him. I can truly say that my life is in the Lord’s care and I am willing to let Him lead me wher¬ ever He desires. I would rather have Jesus than great riches. Now I know that my Redeemer liveth, for He lives in my heart every moment of the day. Truly, every day with Jesus is sweeter than the day before. —John Friesen. WHAT WE STUDY IN THE BIBLE SCHOOL You may think as one of my friends remarked, “Studying the Bible, every day, the same subject, month after month, must become very monoto¬ nous!” Well, you would be greatly surprised to see the variety of subjects taught in Bible school. In agriculture, are not the tools, the soil and the seed carefully studied and prepared. How much more have the tools for the neglected field of im¬ mortal souls to be studied and prepared. The seed, which is the Word of God has to be most carefully selected and sown, a certain kind for a particular time, in a particular soil. Nails and wire for- fencing must Ire gathered to keep out the little foxes that spoil the vines. The bell of the lamb won’t scare away the wolf, or the lion that prowls about seeking whom he may devour. Traps must not be set in any haphazard fashion. The sheep are wandering; some are weary and crippled. The labourers are few and the time is precious. How can you equip yourself for this important work. Why, come to W.B.I.! Those are the things that we are studying. —Mary Bergen. If you cannot speak like angels, If you cannot preach like Paul, You can tell the love of Jesus, You can say, “ He died for all.” If you cannot rouse the wicked With the judgment’s dread alarms; You can lead the little children To the Saviour’s waiting arms. Let none hear you idly saying “There is nothing I can do.” While the souls of men are dying, And the Master calls for you. Take the task He gives you gladly, Let His work your pleasure be. Answer quickly when He calleth, “ Here am I, oh Lord, send me.” —Daniel March.
