WINNIPEG BIBLE INSTITUTE Page 6 Former Members of the A Message from Daniel Barnes R. 6. A. F. OUR FORMER INSTRUCTOR IN MUSIC (The following extracts are taken from a letter Dave wrote to the school from Abbotsford, B. C., in January.) “I have blessed memories of the very happy and pro):table days spent at the institute, prof¬ itable for me, because I learned more in these two years spent with you than I was ever able to give.Now it is ten months since I left W.B.I., but it seems as though it were yes¬ terday. During these ten months I have had many new experi¬ ences and the Lord has proved Himself to me in many new ways. Many times people feel sorry for us boys who have put on the King’s uniform, but I am thankful for the many opportunities it has offered and for the lessons learned. The children of Israel never knew their God as the One who could roll back the waters of the Red Sea; or who could provide manna in the desert, and make the waters gush out of the rock until they were forced out of Egypt by trial and oppression. In the same way, we who were brought up in Christian homes arid attended Christian schools learn to know our Lord as the all-sufficient One only in the time of trial and temptation, when we find ourselves surrounded by sin of every description. The blessed thing is that His Grace is sufficient. We do need your prayers that our testimony may be bright and bold at all times and that we may have wisdom and tact in dealing with the lost. Pray for all of us in the forces. I trust that the Lord’s richest blessing shall abide upon you all throughout this coming year. Yours, because His, David Barnes. George Dugald and his wife, (Nee Lillian Nimrod) who were on the W. B. I. faculty for several years, spent a furlough in Winnipeg rec¬ ently. Mrs. Dugald introduced their young daughter to the students also. George is now sta¬ tioned at Paulson with the R. C. A. F. Mrs. Williams has not been able to carry on her classes this year because of serious illness. We miss her greatly and pray for her continually, for she taught us as much by her utterly unselfish life as in her lovely lessons on the Book of John. As we came to know her more and more, we felt as though her daily walk and testimony were speaking to our hearts this mes¬ sage, “ Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ.” Doctr inal Position of W. B. I. The Institute holds and teaches the great truths which form the historic faith of the Church, as based upon the Holy Scriptures. For the sake of spiritual unity, points of controversy as between the great evangelical bodies are not emphasized. The school is distinctively non-sectarian. The fol¬ lowing is a brief abstract of the doctrinal position : 1. The full divine authority of the Holy Scrip¬ tures. 2. The Trinity of the Godhead as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. 3. The direct creation of the world and man. 4. The perfect Deity and Humanity of the Lord Jesus Christ. 5. The depravity and lost condition of all men by nature. 6. The substitutionary atonement in the shed blood of Jesus Christ. 7. The doctrine of justification by faith alone. 8. ' I’lie perfect acceptance of every believer before God in Christ. 9. The real personality of Satan and other evil beings. 10. The personal coming again of Jesus Christ. 11. The resurrection of the dead, the righteous to everlasting blessedness and the wicked to everlasting damnation. 1?,, The responsibility of the saved for holiness of life and faithful witness to all men.

Page 5 WINNIPEG BIBLE INSTITUTE Qreetings to Graduates “Tied. J. B. Gunningkam. COMPARATIVE RELIGIONS BIBLE EXPOSITION You who are members of the graduating class of 1944 are to be congratulated on the successful completion of your course of studies; but you are just beginning your service for Christ There is much you must yet learn of the Master; may you be faithful students at all times. There is also much to be done for Christ; may the Lord make you faithful servants. Make faithfulness your watchword, for “it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful.” Lome M. (gillett EPHESIANS AND SPIRITUAL LIFE “ Because lie believed in his God.” (Daniel 6: 23.) That was the secret of Daniel’s success in the work set before him; his deliverance from the hand of the enemy; and his victory in bring¬ ing about the world-wide ac¬ knowledgment of his God. So as you the graduates of this 1944 class go out from school in full¬ time service for the King of Kings, remember that for you as well as for the faith heroes of the past, success, deliverance and victory come only through a definite faith and trust in God. (Eph¬ esians 1: 13-15). MAINTENANCE The school is definitely a faith institution. As such it is dependent on God as He moves the hearts of His people to minister to its support. A small fee is charged the students, but by far the greater part of the financial needs are met by voluntary contributions. In this way many have an interest in the spiritual education of the young people and in their preparation for Christian service. Margaret Moody DEAN OF WOMEN BIBLE HISTORY ENGLISH EXPOSITION 1 MISSIONS a “ Keep thy heart with all diligence, for out of it are the issues of life.” Prov. 4:23. Yes, if you keep your heart right be¬ fore God and allow nothing to grieve His Holy Spirit, then you will never be put to shame. If you guard jealously your “Fel¬ lowship with the Father, Satan will never overcome you through external circumstances. Wise old John Bunyan understood this well, for he wrote coneerningthe garrison of your heart and mine. “Herein lay the wisdom of Him that built Mansoul, that the walls could never be broken down nor hurt by the most mighty potentate unless the townsmen gave consent thereto.” Olive Mikkelson, OFFICE SECRETARY SCHOOL CHORUS “A vessel unto honour, sanc¬ tified, meet for the master’s use, and prepared unto every good work.” 2 Tim. 2: 21. As you leave school may you be conscious that even as during Bible School days the hand of the Lord has been upon you, directing and fashioning you ac¬ cording to His will. He will continue to bless and use you in His great harvest field, and that “the path of the just is as a shining light that shineth more and more unto the perfect day.” Kemember, you trust in One who is mighty. —•— Mr. Richard Friesen of West Kildonan, has given us much valuable help with our singing, and we as a student body would like to express our appreciation and gratitude to him in this way. We all enjoy singing so much under his skilful, happy leadership.
