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. 


PRAYER  PARTNERSHIP 

Don't  forget  our  worldwide  prayer  meet- 
ing every  Wednesday  afternoon  at  1:30  To- 
ronto time.  If  you  can  be  with  us  even  for  a 
part  of  the  hour,  do  come.  If  not,  PRAY 
WHERE  YOU  ARE.

"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.

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'."

world    with    its    Centennial    Year,    MOODY

ber a  Canadian  Centennial  issue. 

The  article,  compiled  and  edited  by  Doug- 
las C.  Percy,  the  Editor  of  the  Evangelical 
Recorder,  is  the  product  of  a  dozen  outstand- 
ing Canadian  evangelical  contributors.  It  deals

THE  ELMORE  HARRIS  SERIES,  NO.  1 

T.B.C.  has  begun  a  new  series  of  publications  to  be  named  after 

Dr.  Elmore  Harris,  founder  and  first  President  of  the  College. 

These  publications  will  be  a  series  of  small  books,  written  by 

outstanding  evangelical  scholars  and  writers. 

GOD      AND      EVIL 

has  been  written  by  Dr.  William  Fitch  of  Knox  Presbyterian  Church,  Toronto. 

Dr.  Fitch  has  written  with  penetrating  insight  and  evangelical 

forthrightness  on  this  Bible  theme  that  must  be  emphasized  in  a  day  when 

some  seek  to  affirm  that  God  is  dead. 

We  trust  that  this  series  will  have  a  wide  circulation  and  be  of 

inspiration  and  help.  Send  for  several  copies.  They  will  be  mailed  out  as 

they  come  off  the  press.

"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.

T.B.C.  CHORALE 
CENTENNIAL  TOUR 

The  College  Chorale  has  had  a  wonderful 
year  of  ministry  in  music  and  message.  The

young  people  In  this  age  of  beatniks  and 
rebels. 

To  climax  the  College  year,  the  Chorale 
will  take  a  Centennial  Tour  that  begins  in

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.

tion given  to  their  translation  of  Bible  stories 
into  Tzutujil.  One  of  the  boys  was  thrilled 
when  he  read  the  story  of  Joseph  in  Tzutujil. 
"At  last  I  understand  it",  he  said.  He  had 
read  the  same  story  in  the  Spanish  Bible  but 
it  had  never  fully  made  sense  to  him  before.

started  in  Sault  Ste.  Marie  itself.  He  has  pur- 
chased a  Church  that  had  been  closed  and 
with  a  faithful  group  of  believers  is  now 
seeking  to  establish  a  firm  witness  for  Christ. 

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. 

REV.  HORACE  K.  BRADEN,  M.A.,  '46,  is  now 
an  assistant  professor  of  History  at  Waterloo 
Lutheran  University. 

REV.  THOMAS  R.  MAXWELL,  M.A.,  B.D.,  is 
also  on  the  faculty  of  Waterloo  University, 
where  he  is  professor  of  Sociology. 

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,

the  Conservative  Congregational  Christian 
Conference.  And  he  has  recently  been  ap- 
pointed to  the  Advisory  Board  of  the  Michi- 
gan Sunday  School  Association. 


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

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.
