GHRISTMAS-TIME is family-time. Memory brings flooding back the joy- ous occasions of years gone by, of many happy family gatherings with friends and relatives. Once more as the joyous season draws near, we anticipate anew the day made possible through the Birth of the Babe into the family of Nazareth.

Christmas-time is greeting-time, when either in person or through the mail friends renew fellowships of earlier years. It is our privilege to greet, through the pages of this Christmas Recorder, the many friends and members of our world-wide T.B.C. family. Faculty, staff and students join with the writer in breathing the prayer that at this season of good-will, "the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus."

This opportunity of greeting the many friends and graduates of the College is welcomed sincerely. After having received many spiritual benefits here, as an under-graduate, it is a real privilege to be included once more in the fellowship of the Toronto Bible College family-at-home. During the coming months we may have the opportunity of visiting you, either in a personal way or through a church gathering, and toward these times of Christian fellowship we are looking with eagerness.

In these past few months since returning to the College, part of the time has been occupied in searching out the names of those graduates who are serving their Master at home and abroad under many far-reaching Mission Boards. As field after field came before us, represented by names both strange and familiar to us, deep joy welled up within the heart in the consideration of what God has been pleased to do through the ministry of this institution in the days gone by. When the end of our survey had been reached and the fact disclosed that T.B.C. graduates now are serving their Lord in thirty-three countries and under fifty- six mission boards, we were ready to sing a doxology.

Reminiscing, however, if indulged in too freely, may lead to stagnation. Thus with this glimpse into the days of yesteryear, we turn back to the present and look to the morrow. This one thing we believe, that as the ministry of this College has been blessed so signally of God during the past fifty-four years, so we must look to the future in the belief that it still has a unique part to play in the training of young men and women for the great missionary task of the church.

THE BIBLE COLLEGE RECORDER

In this day of increasing turmoil and distress, of onslaughts of evil evidenced on every hand, the consciousness that "our wrestling, is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world-rulers of this darkness, against the spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places" becomes increasingly vivid. We are conscious, too, that all the force of those powers and of that darkness is being hurled against men, women and institutions, who endeavour to remain faithful to our Lord Jesus Christ and obedient to His great commission. Let us, therefore, wrestle that we may be able to withstand.

From the home-hearth of our T.B.C. family, we send forth the appeal and the challenge. Will you not wrestle in prayer that God's spiritual blessing may continue to be outpoured upon this ministry.-' Will you not also pray that many more young people may pass through these portals to take their places beside you who are engaged in the heat of the battle for souls .'' We covet your prayers, too, on our behalf that God in His goodness and grace may continue to supply every need of the College, spiritually and materially, "that utterance may be given us in opening our mouths to make known with boldness the mystery of the gospel".

When this issue of the Recorder reaches you, the Christmas season will be upon us. Our greeting is that it may be a blessed one and that the New Year shall be prosperous in the truest sense of the word.

"It is true! We have organized a Fellowship Group from the Toronto Bible College, which will be carried on to encourage prayer in behalf of all T.B.C. work and witness, and to knit together those of us who are labouring in the Gospel throughout India.

"Four of us were spending the summer in the Landour Language School, enjoying the fellowship thus afforded to us. Our times of prayer together meant so much to us, that we decided to form a T.B.C. Fellowship, into which we should like to invite all our T.B.C. former students and graduates serving the Lord in India. We ourselves represent four different Christian communions, thus exem- plifying the inter-denominational character of our Alma Mater. We hope to establish contact with all our T.B.C. family in this vast land through your names and addresses received from the College offices. Although we are so far distant from one another perhaps we can keep in touch by correspondence and uphold each other in prayer."

Rev. D. A. Burns, Director of Practical Work

The Biennial Meeting of the Evangelical Teacher Training Association was held at Toronto Bible College on Friday, October 22nd, with morning and afternoon sessions. Since the formation of the Association almost twenty years ago, the Biennial Meetings have been regularly held in Chicago with three excep- tions. On two occasions the meeting has convened in Philadelphia and in the current year in Toronto, Canada, the first time the Executive has met outside of the United States of America. It was fitting that this first meeting of the Executive to be held in Canada, should convene in the buildings of Toronto Bible College, which is the only Canadian charter member of the Association.

The attendance of members was remarkably good in view of the distances to be travelled since Toronto, generally speaking, is considered to be on the north-east fringe of the area which the Association serves. The President, Rev. Dr. R. A. Forrest, came up from Toccoa Falls, Georgia, and was in charge of proceedings throughout the day. Rev. Dr. R. A. McQuilkin of Columbia, South Carohna, was absent on account of illness. He rarely misses these gatherings, having been identified with the movement from its early days. Dr. C. H. Benson, who is a charter member of the Executive and the only General Secretary which the Association has had, presented a comprehensive statement on the activities of the Association as these are reflected in the work of Teacher Training carried on by the member units, the co-operating Colleges, Schools, Institutes and Sunday School Associations. Thousands of teaching manuals were used throughout the year, and the list of recommended text books, produced by the Committee under the leadership of Mrs. Barnett, now of California, and made available to all member units, is service of real merit and value. It was agreed that a number of the teaching units should be translated into Spanish to make them available to countries in the South American area, a persistent request to this effect having been received from various locations in Latin America. Rev. Harold E. Garner has become Field Secretary for Canada, with special responsibility for the work of the Association in the Dominion. He should still be addressed at the office of the E.T.T.A. in Chicago.

Our readers will be interested in knowing that the work of the Evangelical Teacher Training Association has spread to many places on the Mission Field and the teaching manuals have been translated into other languages to make them available as text books to workers in affiliated Colleges and Schools "throughout the world". The Association has refused to permit itself to be moved from its original purpose. Its work has been and still is Teacher Training. It has devel- oped a strong course in Teacher Training which gives adequate instruction in the Bible, the Church's text book: missionary and evangelistic emphasis in insist- ing upon the need of regeneration and the taking of the Gospel to all parts of the world; a proper understanding of child nature and a thorough mastery of the best methods of work.

Toronto Bible College was glad to be host to this fine Executive Body of Christian Leaders. The fellowship around the tables was delightful. Rev. Dr. R. A. Forrest, was re-elected President; Rev. Dr. R. A. McQuilkin, Vice-President; and Rev. Dr. C. H. Benson, as General Secretary.

Special ^eacljer draining ^cfjool

By Rev. R. C. Cook, B.A., B.D., '31

During the last week in September, the Department of Rehgious Education of the Toronto Association of Baptist Churches held a very successful Teacher Training School in the Bible College. Over 200 teachers from the Baptist Churches of Toronto met each night from Monday to Friday inclusive for study and worship.

The school began with a splendid banquet in the College dining-room. This meal was completely prepared by the kitchen staff, and served by students of the College. Those present were loud in their praise of the people who had prepared for and served them so efficiently.

Each evening one hour was devoted to Bible study. This course was con- ducted in the Assembly Hall by Rev. D. A. Burns of the College staff. Mr. Burns did a magnificent job in the field of Biblical Introduction. His scholarship, his devout approach, and his ringing affirmation that the Bible is the very Word of God, thrilled his hearers night by night. The enthusiasm for this course was so great that a spontaneous expression of thanks came from the group on the last evening before the chairman had a chance to voice it officially. Mr. Burns also delivered a very fine lecture on Sunday School methods to a gathering of ministers and superintendents on the Monday evening.

Method studies followed the worship service each evening. For this work the group broke up into smaller units to study the problems peculiar to particular age groups. The many classrooms at the College made it an admirable location for this sectional type of instruction.

The Baptists or Toronto are most grateful to the Board of the College for permission to use its building and facilities for this purpose. The co-operation and courtesy of all concerned will be long remembered.

^oronto'si Cbangelical Centre

If you were to mark out the location of the Toronto Bible College on an air-view map of the city, you would find that it is in almost the exact geographical centre of Greater Toronto. It is thus most accessible from all parts of the city. But it is not of T.B.C. as a geographical centre that we are thinking now; it is as a rallying centre for many of Toronto's evangelical missions and enterprises. Increasingly does its Assembly Hall, as well as other facilities of the main build- ing, serve to accommodate young people's groups, annual meetings, and other public gatherings of evangelical bodies. The Board of Governors and the Faculty of the College cordially welcome all these companies of Christian friends who come into our midst, and desire to make known to all evangelical Churches, Missions and societies that the College doors are always open to receive them and the right hand of fellowship is always extended to them.

It may be of interest to our readers to learn of the various bodies that have met within the Toronto Bible College during this year of 1948. They are listed in alphabetical order: the Canadian Baptist Testimony to the Jews, the Ceylon and India General Mission, the Child Evangelism Fellowship, the China Inland Mission, the Evangelical Teacher Training Association, the Inter-Church Com- mittee on the Roman Catholic Question, the Inter-School Christian Fellowship, the Railwaymen's Christian Mission, the Scripture Gift Mission, the Scripture Union, the Sudan Interior Mission, the Toronto Baptist Religious Education Association, the Toronto Police Christian Fellowship, and the Upper Canada Bible Society.

The building and facilities of T.B.C. are always available to evangelical bodies concerned for the propagation of the Gospel both at home and abroad.

The holding of the Annual Meeting of the Evangelical Teacher Training Association in Toronto presented us with the opportunity of securing several of the leaders in this field of Christian activity for special classes in the College during the week of October 24th-31st. We had hoped to have with us Mrs. E. P. Barrett, an outstanding leader in the field of Visual Aids, but her removal to California prevented her from being present at the Anuual Meeting. Rev. Dr. Benson and Rev. H. E. Garner, lectured each day to the Senior and Junior classes of the Day School respectively, and two classes were held each evening, each speaker lecturing once. The classes were auxiliary to the regular work being done by the College in Teacher Training and the evening lectures were open to the general public. Such subjects as Teacher Training in the local Church, How to organize your Sunday School hour. Visitation for Sunday School Evangelism, etc., were dealt with. The final evening lecture of the special series was on Visual Aids, and Mr. Garner had a fine collection of materials with which to illustrate his message. He emphasized the point that visual aids are merely aids and are not substitutes for the real work of the Sunday School which is teaching the Bible to all ages, and seeking to win boys and girls to Jesus Christ. The classes were well attended and the students accorded Dr. Benson and Mr. Garner a real Canadian welcome. It is our hope that we may have a series of special lectures in the field of Christian Education each College session.

The Evangelistic Choir

C. ?B. C. anb tlje ^1

Rev. D. A. Burns, Din Stouflfville, Tuesday, (

This message is written from the throbbing heart of a Campaign of Evangelism and Discipleship which the students of the College are conducting in the town of Stouffville, thirty miles east and north of Toronto. The evangelistic effort lasts for eight days — two Sundays and the week between. Over the week-ends some eighty students are engaged while during the week sixty-five students will be engaged daily, in home to home evangelism, personal work, children's meetings and an evening evangelistic service, as well as in conducting Teacher Training Classes.

The Campaign, while being conducted by the College under its Department of Practical Work, is sponsored by all the Protestant Churches and ministers of Stouffville and community. It is in a very real sense a united effort by all the Christian forces of the community, to win the unsaved to Christ and His Church.

On the day of opening, November 28, some twenty services in all were conducted by the student groups, the day ending with a great Rally in the United Missionary Church at 8.30 when the College Mixed Choir, the College Ladies' Choir, the Ladies' Double Trio, the Male Quintet, the Trio, duettists and soloists all took part.

Personal witness bearing is a very definite feature of the week's ministry. All students are trained to bear personal testimony to their faith in Christ and to the reality and joy of fellowship with God. These brief words of witness make a deep impression upon the hearers and are often used of the Lord to bring other young people to the point of decision.

It is no light undertaking carefully and prayerfully to visit every home in such a community as Stouffville. We expect, before the week is over, to make 800 visits in homes. Much follow up work has to be done because while a religious census is taken, the chief aim of each team of visitors is to win the individuals of the home to Christ. The claims of the Saviour are clearly and simply presented in the hope and with the prayer that a verdict in favour of accepting Christ as Saviour and Lord will result.

afternoon at 4.15 for the children. Hundreds of children attend throughout the week, and not only do they receive instruction in the Word of God, but they often bring their parents to the evening evangelistic gatherings. Since Christian Education has an important place in the curriculum of the Bible College, certain senior students are chosen to conduct classes for Sunday School teachers, showing them how they can improve their methods of work and pointing out the characteristics of the various ages and the best teaching programmes for each age, and especially indicating how the children of various ages may be dealt with in respect to the matter of their relationship to Christ.

On Sunday last the preaching at all the services was done by the members of the Faculty, Council or by the students themselves. Principal Rhodes, Canon J. D. Paterson, Revs. C. A. Armstrong, D. E. Raymer and D. A. Burns preached several times during the day. Throughout the week outstanding evangelistic preachers are invited to take part. For example, last night (Monday) Canon Paterson preached in the United Church. Tonight Rev. L. I. Hunter will preach in the Christian Church: tomorrow night Rev. Ward Shantz will preach in the Ringwood Christian Church. On Thursday night, Rev. Robert Barr will preach in the Baptist Church, while on Friday Rev. Jack Scott will preach in the United Missionary Church. There will be a great Youth Rally in the Presbyterian Church on Saturday night. At all these services the College Chorus and choral groups will take part.

Our friends, and especially all former students, will be glad to know that the Practical Work of the students has become supervised to the extent that a Practical Work Credit is now required each year of every student. During the present College session it will become necessary for each student to obtain a pass in field work in order to obtain standing in his year's studies. A wide range of practical work is now offered under supervision. Included in this are Evangelistic Choir appointments, preaching appointments, student pastorates, deaconess work, jail work, mission work, Sunday School work. Young People's work, Bible Club work, committee work in evangelism, missionary effort and devotional services where experience is obtained in the way to build programmes for these and other types of services, visitation, factory meetings, etc. Each student is permitted to make his

own choice from the thirty-seven credits offered and the requirements are graded according to year in course. The students of the preparatory year require to obtain 5 credits for a perfect mark; those in first year 6 credits; in second year 8 credits and in third year 10 credits. We are not aware of any Bible College or Seminary on the continent that has such a wide range of practical training available to its students or whose programme of practical work is so carefully integrated and supervised as to make credit on an academic basis available to its students. We invite our friends everywhere to unite in prayer for God's blessing to rest upon this extensive evangelistic ministry of the students of Toronto Bible College.

Rev. C. A. Armstrong, Registrar

In recent months, the Bible College has enjoyed still further recognition of two of its fundamental principles: its promotion and encouragement on the one hand of missionary service, and on the other, its biblical and evangelistic ministry as providing the most valuable item of equipment for missionary candi- dates.

A group of University of Toronto students, now enrolled in the Faculty of Medicine, and members of the Inter-Varsity Christian Fellowship, came over to the Bible College in a body and presented a request for special Bible study to run concurrently with their medical studies. "We are Christian students," they said; "and for several years we shall be engaged in medical studies in the vicinity of this College. Our intention is to offer ourselves to various mission boards for medical and surgical practice in overseas Christian hospitals. Since we intend to practise rather than teach, we are likely to be posted to a hospital immediately upon graduation and will not be required to take a Bible College course before going overseas. But we feel that as Christians, we want to be able to offer, within the sphere of our professional work, more than our professional skill and personal influence. Have you a course of study in Bible and doctrine, and evangelism, which we might be able to tie in with our regular medical programme at the University during these years in Toronto?"

After consulting representatives of some of the mission boards to obtain their reaction to the proposal, and finding that in the main their approval was hearty, the College Faculty sat down again with the "Meds" and worked out a three year cycle of intensive evening study. The special course is based upon the Day School Course minus English, History and similar subjects which the university student takes as part of his university work. In addition to classes at the Bible College two evenings a week, those taking this special course are required to do extra reading of prescribed texts during the summer recess. Exam- inations will be conducted in the later summer.

The response to this special missionary course has exceeded early expecta- tions. Christian university students in other faculties — chiefly Engineering and the School of Nursing. — have come to join the "Meds". Others still, from Arts and Education, are coming along "just for the inspiration".

The Bible College rejoices in this extension of its ministry and looks for- ward to the day when many of these young folk, "prepared unto very good work", will take their places in overseas missionary service, to offer men's souls a ministry as adequate as that offered their bodies. We invite the readers of the Recorder to remember this group in prayer.

2rt)e Annals; of #rammateufi{

The March Recorder devoted a page to the further travels of Tychicus. Another Tychicus, who will call himself Grammateus, has taken to perambulating on behalf of T.B.C.

On Monday, October 4th, accompanied by his wife ('40), Fern Blair ('46), Agnes Gaverluk ('46) and Bryant Smith ('50), he drove to East Nissouri to represent Principal Rhodes and the College at the farewell service for Alice Gleason ('46). Following a warm welcome and generous hospitality in the home of Bryant Smith, the party assembled in the packed country church. The service, arranged by Alice herself, was unique. Included on the programme was a representative from each phase of her active life and numerous associations; from Sunday School days to University graduation, through public school teaching and T.B.C. years. Our T.B.C. girls sang and Grammateus was given the high honour of bringing words of greeting from Rev. J. B. Rhodes.

The tempo increased in November. In the Toronto area, Rev. Arthur Greer ('37) and Pastor Wentworth Bellsmith ('47) invited Grammateus to minister in their churches, Weston Baptist and Kitchener Park Baptist respectively. The service in Weston was the final one in the building erected forty years ago. The following Sunday the congregation worshipped for the first time in the finely built new Gothic church. 'Tychicus and the College choir visited Weston and Mr. Greer on the Tuesday evening.

Accompanied by four students of the College, John Robinson, Bryant Smith, Florence Pletch, Eleanor Welby and Verna Dawson, the writer was welcomed by Mr. Bellsmith to his suburban church. Following the preaching of the Gospel, the new colour film of T.B.C. student life was shown to an interested audience.

On three separate dates during November, Grammateus ventured beyond the city limits to Stouffville, Kitchener, and Burgessville. On each occasion the local Alumni group extended the invitation. On Monday, November 8th, the College film was shown in the United Missionary Church, Stouffville. Hearty welcome was extended by the Pastor, Rev. H. S. Hallman ('29-30) and by other graduates in the area including Rev. ('35) and Mrs. ("34) Gibson Brown, and Mr. ('39) and Mrs. ('39) Francis Muir. Introduction to the approaching evangelistic campaign in that town was thus effected.

At the end of the same week in company with Rev. D. A. Burns, Rev. C. A. Armstrong, and seventy-odd students, and at the invitation of the Kitchener- Waterloo T.B.C. Alumni Association, King Street Baptist Church, Kitchener, was invaded on Friday evening, November 12th. After prayerful and careful: preparation by the local graduates, their reward was a packed church to listen to the witness in song and testimony of the student choir. Grammateus was deeply impressed by the devotion of the local Alumni to the ministry of their College. The new executive of the Kitchener-Waterloo Branch comprises the following members: President, Miss Louida Bauman ('30), Vice President, Mrs. H. Her ('39), Secretary, Miss Hannah Snider ('34), Treasurer, Miss Marion Dawson ('43), Committee Members, Mrs. J. Rahn ('25), Mrs. L. Dankert ('24), Miss Ilda Bauman ('33) and Mrs. Enoch Bauman ('22).

One more journey completes the present roster. With three undergraduates, Jean Milner, Helen Noble and Betty Docker, Grammateus and his wife drove to Burgessville on a forbidding November afternoon, to the home of Mrs. Buckrel (Ruby Pembleton '44) by invitation from Mrs. Theodore Hill (Winnie Osborne '36) President of the Oxford County Alumni Association. The warmth of fellow- ship and hospitality soon caused the travellers to forget the drear Autumn weather.

THE BIBLE COLLEGE RECORDER

(^rabuation ^estimonp

When I entered Toronto Bible College three years ago, I had a limited Christian experience. Through the faithful ministry of a consecrated Sunday School teacher, I was led to Christ at the age of nine. As I grew in grace, there developed a deep desire to serve my Lord, which culminated for me in the acceptance of a definite call to full-time ministry. After an all-too-brief period of training, I was £ thrust forth into God's work, and for five years experienced

l^^k **^- the joys and trials of the Christian ministry. During these

^^1^ liymi^ years there developed the growing conviction that for

^^^^^^^^H effective service I required further training, and thus it ^^^^^^"^^^ was that I became a student at Toronto Bible College. Russell Fiaxman J \l2^,^^ of course, heard much about the school before

I entered its classes, but I was not prepared for the unique experience which is the heritage of all who pass through its portals. One of the ineffaceable impressions which the life of the College has made upon me is the central place given in the curriculum to the Word of God. It is not merely that we read through and daily study the Scriptures for ourselves, but God's Word is the basis upon which the Holy Spirit directs and instructs us in all the affairs of life. The plan of redemp- tion as unfolded in God's Word, rises up before us as a great redemptive act of the Almighty, finding its pivotal point in the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ our Saviour.

Another matter that has made a deep impression upon me during my under- graduate days, is the emphasis which the College places upon the corporate leadership of the Spirit of God. While I had always waited upon God in order to discover His will for me personally, it had never occurred to me that God could reveal His will to a group, and yet I have seen the Cabinet of the College wait upon God in important matters until all were brought in this way to unanim- ity and the acceptance of His will.

A third truth which has, I feel, added to my spiritual stature, grows out of this very matter of spiritual leadership. I was raised in the narrow confines of one of the smaller branches of the Christian Church, and it was unavoidable that my religious opinions and practices should be somewhat confined and biased. The words 'corporate life' and fellowship" meant little to me, until after months of association with the members of the faculty and my fellow students, these words came to be clothed with life and reality. In class and at prayer I became associated with students from eighteen different Christian bodies who were all one in Christ Jesus by the invisible bonds of a personal relationship to the living Lord of the Church. I learned for the first time the true spirit of tolerance, and the fact that God has much truth to reveal through all groups who are linked to Him by a common faith.

Finally, it has been my privilege in the practical work of the College to take part in the services of some twelve different denominations, for the College has an extensive practical ministry through which students are trained in all forms of Christian service — in hospitals, in missions, in factories, in house visitation, in music, in young people's work, in Sunday School work, in children's work, in special evangelistic endeavour in churches of every denomination. What a thrill it has been to discover that in each group there are those who are truly serving the Lord, perhaps with variant methods and emphasis, but all making contribution to the work of the Christian Church, and all seeking the glory of our one Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

Following supper, graduates of the thirties and forties and other friends gathered in the spacious farmhouse for an oldfashioned T.B.C. family reunion. Happily, Rev. Clarence Bass ('36) of the Ceylon and India General Mission was ministering in the neighbourhood and joined the group to lead in a devotional period. The girls sang, and Grammateus projected the T.B.C. film to delight the hearts of graduates of the years gone by. In a few words, an up-to-the-minute picture of current T.B.C. happenings and needs was given, previous to showing the College film.

In closing the present chronicle, our recent travels have impressed us with two facts — first, the spirit of T.B.C. lives on in its graduates and in its Alumni groups; and second, there is an earnest and prayerful desire among those graduates and friends visited to see the work go forward under the manifest and abundant blessing of God, which has been so evident in the past history of the College. May it be so!

(Grammateus is the pseudonym under which our new Secretary of the College has chosen to write, Rev. Denzill E. Raymer. From time to time he will tell us in "The Recorder" of his visits to Alumni and other friends of the College. We publish these Annals to elicit your prayers on behalf of the Extension work of the College and of the onerous duties of our faithful new Secretary. — J. B. R.)
