FROM THE PRESIDENT'S DESK

GIVING GUIDELINES

In light of the important announcement appearing elsewhere in this issue, we shall plan lo utilize the column "From the Presi- dent's desk" for the next little while to talk about various aspects of Christian steward- ship.

Scripture is full of the act of giving. Cod gave His Son to die for sinners because He loved them. "Herein is love, not that we loved Cod, but that He loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation lor our sins." Thus He demonstrated His love. Here was conclusive proof.

Cod wills that we should do likewise. He tells us through Paul in his letter to the Cor- inthians, "Therelore, as ye abound in every- thing . . . laith . . . knowledge . . . love . . . see that ye abound in this grace also . . . to prove the sincerity of your love."

The best giving is generous giving. The kind that pinches pennies is not the best giving. It betrays a heart unprepared to give and, therefore, unable to profit from giving. Mary, who broke an alabaster box of per- fume and poured it over Jesus' head, did not see how little she could put into the bottle, but how much. Her generosity became her memorial. Love is always like that. It gives generously without thought of personal re- turn.

But giving, to be properly motivated and meaningful, must be intelligent. Why should we give liberally of our hard-earned sub- stance? Why should we give at all? Let the Scriptures answer. "The earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof." "Every good gilt and every perfect gilt is from above." "Freely ye have received, Ireely give." "It is more blessed to give than to receive." "Cod loveth a cheerlul giver." "He which soweth sparing- ly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountilully shall reap also bountiful- ly." "Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful." "Every one ol us shall give account ol himself to Cod." What more need be added for those who are not their own but have been bought with a price?

Signs are multiplying that the Lord's return will not long be delayed. Increasingly God's people must give serious heed to the invest- ment of every dollar both in life and upon death. Is Toronto Bible College worthy of my confidence and my dollars? This is both a fair and necessary question for every poten- tial donor. He is a careless steward other- wise.

Such questions as the art of giving, wills, estate planning, and the like, will be dis- cussed in the months ahead. In the mean- time, this little verse is so very much in point.

SURRENDER

"Let me hold lightly

Let me hold fast. Lord,

Things of this earth;

Things of the skies.

Transient treasures,

Quicken my vision.

What are they worth?

Open my eyes!

Moths can corrupt them.

Show me Thy riches.

Rust can decay;

Clory and grace.

All their bright beauty

Boundless as time is.

Fades in a day.

Endless as space!

Let me hold lightly

Let me hold lightly

Temporal things.

Things that are mine

1, who am deathless.

Lord, Thou hast giv'n me

Who soar as with wings!

All that is Thine!"

An Important Announcement

After many months of careful study and research, the Board of Covernors is happy to be able to announce the creation of a new Department of Stewardship under the direction of Mr. Andrew Davidson, Comptroller.

Giving is an act of worship. Scripture everywhere emphasizes its importance. Paul calls it a "grace". We are persuaded that we have a great responsibility to our friends, many of whom give so sacrificially that this work may continue. Much giving, unfortunately, is impulsive and not in accordance with the will of Cod. Our objective is to furnish knowledgeable and careful counsel so that God's stewards may invest correctly and wisely.

The Board of Covernors has had one concern above all others SAFETY. Consequently, meeting after meeting has been held with accountants, lawyers, bankers, and business executives, until every conceivable safeguard has been built into the program which comprises gift annuities, deposit agreements, interest-free loans, revocable gift agreements, and wills.

We do not purpose to become technical or to multiply words, but a brief explanation Is necessary to clarify the words "safety" and "safeguards". All annuity contracts will be insured by one of Canada's leading insurance companies forthwith. Deposit agreements will be admin- istered by one of the country's leading Trust Companies.

People's needs vary as do individuals themselves. Some need income for life. Others do not require income, and are glad to turn certain investments over to the College during their lifetime, but nevertheless may want the principal returned at death. Some are alone, whereas others must think of survivors. And we could go on The fact is that we could doubtless very satisfactorily help you to select a program that would best suit your particular case. If we cannot provide all the answers, we would leave no stone unturned to ensure your complete satisfaction through our legal and accounting channels.

One final word of emphasis is necessary. The Board of Covernors wants it clearly under- stood that if an individual is solely interested in maximum investment returns, he ought not consider our program. If dollars and cents are one's prime concern, he should undertake his investment portfolio through his broker or his banker. But, if the giving factor and motive be considered together with the prospect of a reasonable return, the arrangement should be very appealing.

Further details will appear in future publications.

"DOMINION . . . UNTO THE ENDS OF THE EARTH."

In the days preceding Confederation, Cana- da's founding fathers were seeking a name that would bind the provinces together. The Premier of New Brunswick, Sir Leonard Tilley, was a man of piety and devotion. In his daily devotions he noted the words of Psalm 72:8 "He shall have dominion also from sea to sea, and from the river unto the ends of the earth." On his recommendation the new country became known as the "Domin- ion of Canada."

Since this was our Centennial Year Mis- sionary Conference (February 1-4) we chose that portion from Psalm 72:8 that heads this article as our theme. Why?

The first is personal, for only through those who have made the Lord Jesus Christ King can His righteous will and way be known.

The second is universal, for our great com- mission sends us forth unto the uttermost part of the earth, to make Him known.

Since T.B.C. is Canada's oldest Bible Col- lege (founded in 1894) and "grew up with Canada", the emphasis this year was on our missionary outreach, "from the College unto the uttermost part of the earth."

It was fitting that so many of our graduates came "home" to share this Centennial Con- ference with us. Dr. J. O. Percy '32 (Theme Speaker); Rev. E. Torjesen '42, T.E.A.M.; Rev. Fred Campbell, B.Th. '62, O.M.F.; and Mr. Keith Donald, B.Th. '60, A.E.F., were the graduate speakers. Many others, representing a great world of tension and needs, shared the program. There were 57 registered mis- sionaries representing 32 Mission Boards, who shared their burdens and experiences.

The whole atmosphere of the College changed during these four days, with displays and literature focussing attention on world need and personal responsibility.

Sessions began with a "Wake Up To Mis- sions" breakfast, and carried through the afternoon and evening, with a great variety of messages, pictorial presentations, discus-

sions and counselling that flooded minds and hearts with information and mspiration.

What is accomplished with 30 hours during the week of Missionary Conference? A new tide of enthusiasm is felt, as the Holy Spirit speaks to young people. A fresh realization of the lostness of man without Christ, and the power of the Gospel to save him, is realized.

A burden of personal responsibility falls on many who might otherwise have been indifferent. And a stream of dedicated lives is begun at this source of missionary recruit- ment.

In a word, T.B.C. fulfills the purpose for which it was raised up!

Dr. Percy carried us into the Word, and once again God spoke to hearts through it. Rev. Gordon Houser (Latin America Mission) carried us to the great continent to the south of us, where 200 million souls are waiting. Rev. Fred Campbell '62 (O.M.F.) placed Thailand and the Far East on our hearts, and Mr. Keith Donald '60 took us on a safari to a needy, strife-torn Africa. Europe, once the cradle of the Reformation and evan- gelical thrust, has become a great, pagan mission field, and Rev. Don Brugmann (Greater Europe Mission) portrayed its des- perate need. Rev. Ray Joyce (T.E.A.M.) repre- sented the 400 million Muslims, THE great mission field today, while Rev. Dennis Clark (B.M.M.F.) presented the world of the Mid- dle, Near and Far East.

The Word and the World! This is our task in 1967, and this is our response.

MORE MISSIONS ATT.B.C.

Despite the strong missionary emphasis that has always been such a vital part of T.B.C. training for all students, more missions courses will be offered begmning Septem- ber, 1967. This is in keeping with the con- stant review that is made of all courses offered, and to meet the need of the chan- ging, complex world into which our gradu- ates go to serve.

The main new missions offerings will be in the degree courses, where both the B.Th. and the B.R.E. will have a Missions Major, and the students registered will study such important subjects as the Bible Basis of Missions, Missionary Principles & Practice, Anthropology, Comparative Religions and selected Seminars in Missions.

In the Diploma Course, students can also el%ct up to 18 hours in Missions, one of the most comprehensive missions courses offered anywhere.

It should be noted that in all the special- ized areas of study. Pastoral, Missionary and Christian Education, the Toronto Bible Col- lege also offers more hours of Bible than most other available courses, since we be- lieve that only thorough Bible training can make "workmen that need not to be ashamed." The Bible and Missions . . . this best speaks for the training available at To- ronto Bible College. The Bible and Christian Education . . . the Bible and Pastoral work . . . the truly vital Christian service is that which is Bible based and Bible centred.

If it is Bible training you are looking for, look to T.B.C.

EDITORIAL

"OMBUDSMAN"

A NEW WORD

AN OLD TRUTH.

Back in the 19[h century, Sweden decided that a "people's watchdog" or representative was needed for the "small man" who could not defend or help himself. He would be an "ombudsman."

Since 1800, the office of "ombudsman" has spread everywhere except in North America. The power of the ombudsman varies, but basically he can review all activi- ties, have access to all information, in order to provide justice for the individuals in- volved.

It is a new word, but the office and the officer are found in the oldest book in the world. In Job 9:30, the man whose name has become a byword for suffering and need calls out for a "Daysman" (or Ombudsman), to take on his case.

And Job presented the wonderful truth that every man has an Ombudsman in Cod Himself, and on His love, mercy and justice, he could depend.

Our Ombudsman today is the Lord Jesus Christ, Himself the Judge and Advocate, ever ready to heed and help a needy, lost human- ity. No one was ever turned away from Him. No one was ever failed by Him. No one need live without Him.

"The soul thai on Jesus hath leaned lor repose, I will not, I will not desert to /ts foes; 7/iat soul, though all hell should endeavour

to shake, I'll never, no never, no, never forsake." Is Jesus Christ your Ombudsman, your Days- man, your Mediator, your Saviour?

AMERICA'S FIRST BIBLE COLLEGE GREETS CANADA'S FIRST BIBLE COLLEGE

HAROLD W. BOON, PRESIDENT, NYACK MISSIONARY COLLEGE

This >'ear, when the eyes of the world are turnmg to Canada in recognition of the Canadian Centennial, we at Nyack Missionary College wish to congratulate our sister school, Toronto Bible College. Since Nyack is the oldest Bible College in America, we feel it is fitting to send special greetings to Toronto Bible College, which we understand is the oldest Bible College in the Dominion. For nearly three quarters of a century T.B.C. has been preparing young people for Chris- tian ministries, not only in Canada but around the world.

It was my privilege recently to visit the College and spend some time on campus. I had the opportunity of studying the pro- gram of instruction, methods of operation and world-wide outreach of the College. From its very humble beginning in 1894 until the present, a continuing concern for the Christian education of Canadian young peo- ple (and many from other countries), has been evident. Down through the years there has been a consistent emphasis on a Bible- centred curriculum. Curricular offerings were designed to ground the student in the funda- mentals of the Christian faith as taught in the Word of Cod. The student was challenged to translate this message into everyday living

that would take him from the classroom out into various aspects of Christian service min- istry. The City of Toronto and surrounding areas have been blessed by the outreach of the Toronto Bible College students.

The faculty of Toronto Bible College appear well equipped spiritually and aca- demically to challenge and train young peo- ple for the service of the Lord at home and abroad. They impressed me as being dedi- cated to the Person of Jesus Christ with a sincere desire to minister His Word. I found a strong missionary emphasis at the College and a real concern to reach the spiritually disadvantaged around the world.

The fact that Toronto Bible College has operated over 73 years with such modest fees is an indication of careful financial stew- ardship on the part of the administration. Operating with a minimum of financial re- sources, the administrators have had great opportunity for the exercise of faith. By care- ful management and with the help of faithful contributors, the work of the College has moved ahead. The present campus and re- sources are an indication of God's goodness and man's faithfulness. The dedicated, sacri- ficial ministry of the faculty and staff has had a large part in making it possible to provide the students with a Bible-centred education at a very modest cost.

We at Nyack rejoice in the accomplish- ments of Toronto Bible College. We pray that the Lord will give wisdom to the governing board and the administration as they plan for the future development of the College. We envision a glorious future for the School as it continues to prepare Canadian youth who will become spiritual leaders in Canada's to- morrow.

"THE FINE ART OF FUND RAISING"

In the January 13, 1967, issue of TIME maga- zine, three columns were given to the finan- cial needs of secular Universities and Col- leges. The opening paragraph stated:

"Federal aid and foundation grants are not enough to keep a college on the move. As campus expenses continue to climb, the nation's institutes of higher learning are step- ping up their appeals for private gifts from alumni, corporations and anyone, in fact, who has a dollar to give. What's more, they are finding the money with surprising ease. Private gifts to the nation's 50 best-known colleges and universities have jumped at least SOO/o over 1960-61's $343,621,000."

With such support, rising costs may be met. What happens to an interdenomina- tional Bible College that has neither govern- ment grant nor denominational support?

We have a constituency of faithful, pray- ing, giving people; those who know of and endorse such a work as ours, and who are led by the Holy Spirit to give.

In the Time article, mention is made of the need for a "specific statement of the Col- lege's specific needs and underlying educa- tional philosophy. If the need is not there and the facts are not there, there is no case."

Here again we diverge from the secular college. We do let our supporters know of the needs and they are constant and of our program of training men and women for the work of the Lord. But from there, it is the Lord Who lays the need and the burden on hearts. "Except the Lord build the house, they labour in vain that build it."

Toronto Bible College needs your continu- ing support as Cod enables you to give it. May you be faithful in giving, as we seek to be in serving and to Him shall be the glory.

WOULD YOU BELIEVE. . .

RISING COSTS?

Some years ago, an enterprising scientist valued the human body chemicals at about 90^ at market value. In 1967, an international newsmagazine, using the same tables, esti- mates the value of the same chemicals at $35.00 an increase that seems incredible until you look at the present costs.

In 1898, the first Toronto Bible College building was erected at 110 College Street for the sum of $21,000. Auditorium, classrooms, dining room and living quarters became available and in 25 years, they were too small.

In 1928 the present building at 16 Spadina Road (McNicol Hall) was built for about $100,000.00, giving twice the room at more than three times the cost.

In 1966 our J. William Horsey Library was built for almost the same sum as McNicol Hall and plans for additional space went a-glimmering.

Other areas felt the same cost explosion. From free tuition and 15^ at-cost meals, costs climbed so rapidly that fees were instituted. At-cost meals are still provided, but they have increased 4000/o.

Annual cost per student has climbed until it is now estimated that for every student at the College, $800.00 is required. And only one-quarter of this is covered by fees.

This is the Lord's work, and we are confi- dent that He will supply every need. But He always does it through His "willing-hearted" people. "And they came, every one whose heart stirred him up, and every one whom his spirit made willing, and they brought the Lord's offering to the work of the tabernacle of the congregation, and for all his service, and for the holy garments." (Exodus 35:21)

Our projected costs will continue to rise with other costs. We trust that the Lord's people will continue to stand with us in our task.

FROM BRAHMA TO CHRIST

Some monthb ago, we mentioned the story of Anand Chaudhari, the converted Hindu who is studying at T.B.C. We also published the testimony in a booklet, "I Was a Shas- tri", and copies have gone all over the world.

From Vellore, India, one of our missionary graduates writes: "Ever since I received the booklet, it has been out of my hands. One Brahman patient has read it and is interested in becoming a Christian, but wants a copy of his own. There is also an Indian engineer I should like to give a copy to." Copies have been sent.

The Word of Life Publications in Poona, India, has translated the booklet into Mara- thi, and is planning on publishing 100,000 copies. Who knows what blessings will accrue!

Just a testimony, but such is the power of

the Gospel and the message of the grace of God, that men and women on the other side of the world can be touched by it.

Incidentally, Word of Life Publications says: "We cannot finance an English edition now." So the end is not yet if additional copies can be produced, and if God's people get the vision of opportunity.

COLLEGE YEARBOOK ON SALE

The College Yearbook, the GATEWAY, is now ON SALE. Since there is a great demand for it, and a limited edition, we would suggest that you place your order early and be sure of a copy.

The "Gateway" is just that ... a gateway that takes you through the College so that you will think you have spent the year in its ivied walls. Fascinating photography, good layout and copy, and the dedicated work of the Yearbook Committee will give you a sou- venir of T.B.C. that you will treasure.

// YOU order, please send payment by cheque or money order, payable to TO- RONTO BIBLE COLLEGE. The Cost is $3.00.

ORDER FROM: The Business Manager, T.B.C. Yearbook, 14 Spadina Rd., Toronto 4, Ont.

INTRA-MURAL SPORTS

This year the Student Cabinet filled a long- felt need for sports and exercise program for the students. Without our own facilities (and desperately needed) we have been able to rent a gymnasium nearby. So far volley ball and basket ball are the games played.

So what happens? Four faculty members were drafted to lead the sports program, and their team rivalry is high. And with their usual insouciance, the students gave teams names that speak for themselves: "The Untouchables" (Mr. Enns) "The Nimbles" (Mr. Strimple) "Dorey's Glories" (Mr. Dorey) "Crumps Chumps" (Mr. Crump)

So far, there is no evidence that we have an Olympic team among the four. But we do have fun and exercise, and both are good to ease the tensions and pressures that build up during the College year. YEA TEAM!

REV. ANDREW CHISHOLM

The Toronto Bible College and Christian work generally suffered a severe loss in the death of Rev. Andrew Chisholm, late Super- intendent of Yonge St. Mission. Mr. Chisholm served on many Mission Boards and other Christian organizations, and his wise spiritual counsel was ever available and appreciated.

He was "a bonnie Scot", who loved the Lord, His Word, His people and His work. If we did not know that "the Lord buries His workmen, but His work carries on", we would say that Mr. Chisholm is a hard man to replace. He will be sadly missed, and the memory of his life and devotion will remain long and fragrant.

The following Resolution was unanimously approved by the Board of Governors:

"We, the members of the Board of Gover- nors of Toronto Bible College, record today our deep sorrow in the loss of our brother in Christ, Rev. Andrew Chisholm, who died in his home on January 17, 1967.

"Mr. Chisholm was appointed to the Ad- visory Council in 1953, and was elected to the Board of Governors on February 12, 1963. He took a deep interest in Toronto Bible College affairs, and proved to be a tower of strength throughout the years of his associ- ation with the College. He was a man of excellent judgment, and was known far and wide for his tactful spirit and gentle heart. We shall miss him greatly.

"Our sympathy is extended to Mrs. Chis- holm in these hours of loneliness. We would assure her of our prayers, and rejoice with her in the assurance that her loved one is with Christ, which is far better'."

"73 YEARS OF MISSIONS AT T.B.C."

As the Centennial Missionary Conference be- gan, the students presented a panorama of T.B.C. and Missions during this thrilling period of Canada's history.

Delving into the old records of the Col- lege, fascinating information came to light. Presented with pictures that go back to 1896, the missionary story of T.B.C. showed a present generation the rich and full heritage of this Bible College.

At the urging of many who heard and saw the presentation, we are planning to prepare it for a wider public, using story and pic- tures.

But we need help. Our presentation lacked many illustrations. Do you have T.B.C. pic- tures or other mementoes up to 1925? We would appreciate your help.

When the presentation is ready, we will let you know, and you, too, will be able to rejoice with us at "what God hath wrought."

A SERVICE FOR THE CHRISTIAN COMMUNITY

In common with other Christian organiza- tions, the Toronto Bible College has often found its program in conflict with other groups who have planned events to take place on a common date, to the detriment of both. In a city the size of Toronto, it might be expected that such conflicts would neces- sarily take place. We have long felt, how- ever, that an attempt to establish a clearing house for events might do much to unravel the confusion.

T.B.C. President, Dr. Boehmer, has offered the College as a clearing house for dates.

If an organization is planning an event that should have the attention of the Chris- tian public, it can phone Dr. Boehmer's office, and find out if proposed dates have already been taken by someone else. In this case, substitute dates can be settled on. Al- ready much confusion has been forestalled.

If you are planning something for 1967, why not call and find out if the dates con- flict with other events? In this way, more of the Lord's people will be able to attend and support more of the Lord's work.

Dr. Boehmer's Secretary, Miss L. Softley, will give you the required information.

We are happy to serve the Lord's work in this, as in other ways.

Dr. J. O. Percy '32, Conference Theme Speaker, and Dr. S. L Boehmer, T.B.C. President.

ALUMNI NEWS

FROM YOUR

ALUMNI SECRETARY . . .

what is the Alumni Association? A valid question, asked by many people, and one that can be answered in different ways. How- ever, let me answer by saying we are "A Ser- vice Organization"; we exist to serve the College family.

As a graduate we serve you by providing a free life membership in a worldwide fel- lowship. It is a family found on every continent, yet gives to each member a real sense of belonging.

The 'Evangelical Recorder' is sent to you free four times a year and through this organ you can see and read of our College, faculty and students, and keep up with the many interesting items of Alumni news. Perhaps in the future we shall have our own Alumni Newssheet with even more items of interest to Alumni members.

In areas where there are numbers of Alumni gathered, we seek to establish and maintain Alumni Branches, local fellow- ships that meet informally two or three times a year and thus keep alive the Col- lege spirit and maintain those warm fel- lowships formed during student days.

We serve the students of T.B.C. by provid- ing each year three $250.00 scholarships. We also maintain a close contact and rela- tionship with the graduating class through- out their final year. Help and assistance is theirs whenever they need it.

We maintain a Placement Service that exists to help Churches find Pastors, Assist- ant Pastors, Christian Education Directors, Youth Leaders and Deaconesses. And vice versa, we help our Alumni members find positions in Churches and home Missions.

The 50 graduate classes, plus the Golden Mile Chapter (which includes 21 classes) are assisted in every way possible, whether it be an up-to-date class mailing list or help in their five-year Reunions and Class Re- organization.

Through the presentation of our Alumnus of the Year Award we seek to draw back the curtain and reveal not only honoured Alumni, but also show something of the life of our family exemplified in the one so honoured.

-As the call arises we are ready at any time to help in the arranging and conducting of evangelistic campaigns, conferences for the deepening of the spiritual life and training seminars for Christian workers.

-As a start, we are establishing a Continuing Education Program for Alumni pastors and Christian workers. We also make available to Missionary Alumni, a Tape Lending Li- brary of messages and lectures given by outstanding Christian leaders.

-Last but by no means least, we seek to serve our College. We uphold it by regular, fervent prayer and we sustain it by regular financial support. We are all debtors to T.B.C. Some, admittedly, show more grati- tude than others, but all will acknowledge the help and inspiration received while in these hallowed halls.

The Alumni Association seeks to serve. But who are the Alumni?— YOU ARE.

NEWS FROM HERE AND THERE

News comes to us of some former lecturers at the College:

REV. DENZILL E. RAYMER, B.A.Sc, B.D., '40, who was our Alumni Secretary from 1950 to 1956, as well as a member of the faculty, has joined the faculty of Central Baptist Semi- nary, Toronto. He will lecture in Systematic Theology and Church History.

THE HAMILTON ALUMNI BRANCH takes an offering for the College at their annual year- end meeting. They set a goal of $500.00 for this past year, but when the offering was taken, it was a wonderful surprise to discover that they had exceeded the $600.00 mark. Congratulations and sincere thanks to the Hamilton folk.

REV. HECTOR GOODALL ('38) is a busy man for in addition to being the pastor of the First Congregational Church, New Haven, Michigan, he is also the State Moderator for the Conservative Congregational Christian Conference.

MISS ABBIE CARBUTT {'09) was honoured at a rally of Russian and Ukranian Baptists at Beverley St. Baptist Church, Toronto, on November 26, 1966. Miss Carbutt, a member of the Women's Missionary Society of Regu- lar Baptists of Canada and now semi-retired, went to Saskatchewan in 1920 where she was engaged in Sunday School work. From this work grew a Sunday School by mail. It was during these years that she met many of the Russian and Ukranian Baptists who now live in Toronto and area. Miss Carbutt stated "this Sunday School by mail has been a rewarding phase of service all through the years, and I praise the Lord for it. Several have graduated from Bible Schools and are filling the ranks of pastors, missionaries or active workers in their home churches."

View of large audience thai attended each session of the Conference.

"BACKWARD, TURN BACKWARD,

OTIME IN THY FLIGHT"

The Toronto Branch Alumni tried to do just that on January 21, when, in honour of Cana- da's Centennial, they turned back the clock of T.B.C. at their annual get-together.

The "Centennial Fair" was complete with ladies and gentlemen dressed as in yester- year, serving food from fair booths set up in the Dining Room.

A picture gallery of olden days brought back memories that there should be so little hair and so much girth now!

The program, led by Stan Beard '34, pro- duced nostalgia, with Jimmy Annan '34 bring- ing a "memory" message, and old slides and pictures portraying the T.B.C. of the past.

It was a good evening of pleasant mem- ories and goodly T.B.C. fellowship.

MEMORABILIA WANTED

The Alumni Office is anxious to secure any material that relates to the early days of T.B.C.

We would appreciate any Col- lege literature, pictures or other items prior to 1920. If you have something of interest, please send it to niti Alumni Office here, or contact Rev. Bar.-v Jones, Alumni Secretary.

BOOK REVIEWS LET'S FACE IT! By; Hugh Robert MacDonald Evangelical Publishers Price: $3.00

This Canadian minister has written with clar- ity and truth of the problems that a Christian faces in this modern world. His eleven chap- ters on facing doubt, frustration, anxiety, temptation, suffering, weariness, guilt, death, etc., are both biblical and practical. God does not provide a sort of "cosmic aspirin tablet" to help relieve the tensions and fears and bring happiness, but he does maintain that there is available in Jesus Christ all that man needs for any and every issue of life.

FROM ETERNITY TO ETERNITY THE DAWN OF WORLD REDEMPTION THE TRIUMPH OF THE CRUCIFIED By: Erich Sauer

Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Co. Price: $2.50 each

These three paperbacks serve as an outline of the divine purposes and are a survey of the history of salvation in the Old and New Tes- taments. They are biblical and spiritual with- out apology or equivocation. Dr. Sauer, the late Principal of a Bible School in West Ger- many, has provided us with a unique series that covers the history of salvation, beginning with the emergence of the divine revelation in eternity past, and carries through both the Old and the New Testaments.

These are not commentaries, but their out- line form will lead the careful reader into areas of Bible study and investigation that will prove fresh, inspiring and challenging.

THE MAN WHO CHANGED THE WORLD By: Herbert Lockyer Zondervan Publishing House Price: $8.95 (for 2 vols.)

This two-volume set is the most valuable and readable survey of the twenty centuries of the Christian era that has been published for a long time.

Its historical accuracy, spiritual value and comprehensive scope will be invaluable to preachers, missionaries, students and laymen. A complete index brings the material imme- diately to hand. The survey covers all the great men and outstanding events as they relate to the Church and the Church's out- reach. The Gospel message penetrated fur- ther and deeper than most people realize.

CONGO CRISIS

By: Joseph T. Bayly

Zondervan Publishing House

Price: $4.29

This is the story of Charles and Muriel Davis

who were caught in the murderous cross-

fires of the Congo. Mr. Davis "lived because Dr. Paul Carlson died." The story of heroic missionaries and Congolese Christians, of martyrdom and miraculous escapes, is thrill- ingly told in this book. You need to read it.

PATTERN FOR MATURITY By: J. Dwight Pentecost Moody Press Price: $4.29

This great contemporary preacher and teach- er (fie serves as Chairman of the Department of Bible Exposition at Dallas Theological Seminary, as well as carrying on a Church ministry in Dallas, Texas) deals with Christian conduct from both doctrinal and practical viewpoints. His subtitle, "Conduct and Con- flict in the Christian Life", accurately de- scribes the content of this book.

While the whole book is excellent, perhaps Dr. Pentecost has provided for the confused believer today a most outstanding chapter on yielding to the Spirit, an exposition on Romans 6:11-23.

A GUIDE TO MODERN VERSIONS OF THE NEW TESTAMENT By: Herbert Dennett Moody Press Price: $3.25

This is a book for the Bible student, who may be confused at the proliferation of transla- tions and versions of the Bible or the Testa- ments that are appearing in the bookstores today. Mr. Dennett has presented a clear de- scription and balanced assessment of forty New Testament translations, and it should help the busy pastor, student or layman to compare them and find the greatest help and the truest rendering of various passages.

HOPE TRIUMPHANT (THE RAPTURE OF THE CHURCH) By: William K. Harrison Moody Press Price: $3.25

General Harrison (U.S. Army, retired) presents a very clear and easily read testimony for his belief in the pre-millenial view of the rap- ture. The author stays remarkably clear from theological terminology that is not always understood by the layman, and as he con- fesses, the work "represents the result of the writer's effort to learn for himself what the Bible really teaches about the rapture."

FAITH AND THE PHYSICAL WORLD By: David L. Dye Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Co. Price: $3.25

The Christian who thinks he is faced with the alternative of accepting either the scrip- tures or modern scientific data, should read this comprehensive view of the relationship

between faith and the physical world. This book will be easily understood even by the non-scientist, despite a few phrases and ref- erences that leave one longing for clearer definitions.
