(Space permits our printing only three testimonies from the night school students.) Seeking, but knowing not what I needed, trying works without faith, my steps were turned to Jesus, and now He has given me His Peace which passes all under¬ standing although I am only a sinner saved by grace. Mary Taylor. My favorite scripture is, “But thanks be unto God, who giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.” How true this is ! Is it not through Christ that we are more than victors ? Thus we are enabled to live a life that really counts. Margaret Thompson. The world today is pleasure-mad. Everything is done to the tune of “eat, drink and be merry, for tomorrow we die.” Against this we hear the words echoing and re¬ echoing : “Thou wilt show ' me the path of life. In Thy presence is fullness of joy and t at Thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.” This message is for young people seeking a rich full life, for it is to be found only in the Saviour who came that “we might have life and that we might have it more abundantly.” Dorothy Humphries.

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.

WINNIPEG BIBLE INSTITUTE Tape 20 Missions b 0 - Soutk America T HE two Americas have many things in common. They were discovered about the same time and were invaded and settled by Europeans. Their conditions and interests are, to a great extent the same. Yet what a difference! The South American Indian has not had any education, and, between paying the priest and the government he hardly makes his living. Since he has received no teachings of purity, nor has any worthwhile examples to follow, the native of South America knows not what it is to be morally upright. The God he worships is an idol of wood or of tin, a most horrible looking figure, representing the person of our Lord. This image shows what Christ is to him, certainly not a Saviour, Friend, Guide-, the Altogether Lovely One. Roman Catholicism has dominated South Ame¬ rica for 500 years, doing its best to keep the gospel out of the country. Instead of a living Saviour; a priest, an idol and a set of rules is given to souls groping in darkness. Must they stay thus, because the Catholics have entered where the Protestants failed ? Shall we hesitate to enter now because the priest forbids it, when Christ has commanded, “Go ye into all the world”? “When I say unto the wicked, thou shalt surely die; and thou givest him not warning—the wicked man shall die in his iniquity, but his blood will I require at thy hand.” Ezek. 3: 18.— Helen Koop. The following extracts have been taken from ex¬ amination papers written in January, 10.If. They reveal the attitude of the average student towards missionary work. More than ever before, the need of the lost has been impressed on my mind. All the mis¬ sionaries stress the need for more workers. Not one was able to say that there were enough work¬ ers on that field but always there was the challenge to send more. I am stirred to serve Christ more faithfully right here and to pray, “ Lord, here am I. Use me in whatever way you wish and in whatever place you wish.” Raymond Frame’s addresses made me feel that I should serve God more faithfully—that it is my obligation to tell others about Christ — that I owe it to man as well as to God, to tell of God’s love and what He has done for me. Whether I like to do it or not I owe it to Him. After hearing p.nd reading of the misery of the heathen, I have marvelled at the wisdom and grace of God, that I should be born into so much more favourable circumstances, The ministry of Mr. Raymond Frame has made a great change in my idea of missions. I realized not only the need of the world but our responsi¬ bility toward Christ and those who have held the torch before our time. How can I be the one to drop the torch and break the line of faithful wit¬ nesses ? In our missions’ classes I have seen the need of the people-—their shame, suffering and degradation. Between love for Christ and love for the lost, I cannot help but say, “ Lord, here am I, send me.”
