Dr.  J.  B.  Rhodes.   M.A.,  Th.D. 

Principal      1946  -  1953 


Toronto  Bible  College  suffered  a  \ery  great 
loss  when  its  Principal  died  on  the  12th  of  July. 
1953.  Dr.  and  Mrs.  Rhodes  had  driven  down 
to  North  Carolina  on  a  vacation  trip  which  they 
had  enjoyed  very  much.  On  their  way  back 
through  Virginia  Dr.  Rhodes  became  suddenly 
very  ill,  and  was  taken  to  a  hospital  in  Fred- 
ericksburg. There  he  received  much  kindness 
from  the  ministers  of  the  town  before  he  passed 
away  early  on  a  Sunday  morning.  Dr.  and  Mrs. 
Rhodes  were  accompanied  on  their  trip  by  two 
former  students  of  the  College,  one  of  whom  was 
a  trained  nurse,  and  she  was  able  to  be  with  him 
to  the  end.  Mrs.  Rhodes  was  wonderfully  sus- 
tained by  the  manifest  grace  of  God  when  this 
heavy  bereavement  fell  upon   her  so  suddenly. 

Dr.  Rhodes  had  come  from  a  foreign  missionary 
background.  He  was  the  son  of  Mr.  and  Mrs. 
F.  H.  Rhodes  of  the  China  Inland  Mission,  and 
he  received  his  early  education  at  Chefoo  in  the 
famous  school  which  Dr.  Hudson  Taylor  had  es- 
tablished there  for  educating  the  children  of  mis- 


sionaries. In  the  early  20's  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Rhodes 
were  transferred  from  China  to  the  C.I.M.  work 
in  Toronto,  and  Bernard,  who  was  their  only 
child,  became  a  student  in  the  University  of  Tor- 
onto. He  graduated  with  honours  in  Philosophy 
in  1925  and  received  the  M.A.  degree  in  the 
following  year.  He  began  his  theological  course 
in  Princeton  Seminary,  where  he  spent  a  year, 
and  he  carried  it  on  to  completion  in  Knox  Col- 
lege, graduating  in  1929  at  the  head  of  his  class. 
His  next  ten  years  were  spent  in  the  ministry  of 
the  Presbyterian  Church.  Dr.  Rhodes  had  two 
successful  pastorates,  four  years  at  Exeter  and 
six  years  at  Cobourg.  While  at  Cobourg  he  was 
invited  by  the  T.  B.  C.  Board  to  come  to  Toronto 
one  day  a  week  and  give  lectures  on  Systematic 
Theology.  It  was  then  that  his  fine  teaching  gifts 
were  revealed  and  the  high  quality  of  his  scholar- 
ship. This  led  to  his  being  called,  in  1939,  to 
join  the  College  staff  as  a  full  time  lecturer,  deal- 
ing mainly  with  the  subjects  of  Systematic  Theol-

ogy  and  Christian  Evidences.  At  the  opening  ser- 
vice of  the  session  that  year  he  was  asked  to  give 
an  address  telling  why  he  had  accepted  the  call 
of  the  Board.  "To  put  it  into  a  sentence,  "  he 
said,  "it  was  because  I  was  convinced  that  this 
institution  is  doing  the  kind  of  thing  that  needs 
tremendously  to  be  done  in  the  world  today,  and 
because  I  should  like  to  have  a  part  in  that  work." 
Then  he  went  on  to  define  in  further  detail  what 
was  implied   in  that  statement. 

Dr.  Rhodes  entered  at  once  into  the  lite  and 
spirit  of  the  Bible  College,  and  showed  that  he 
fully  understood  the  method  of  training  which  it 
had  developed  through  the  years.  The  students 
soon  came  to  recognize  and  appreciate  the  humble 
spirit  of  the  man  as  well  as  his  unrivalled  gifts 
as  a  teacher.  They  would  sit  sometimes  listening 
in  wonder  as  he  opened  up  before  them,  using  the 
choicest  language,  the  profound  truths  of  the 
Christian  faith,  and  led  them  on  into  deeper  de- 
votion to  the  Lord  Jesus  Christ.  Four  years  after 
joining  the  staff  he  was  appointed  Vice-Principal, 
and  in  1946  he  became  the  Principal  of  Toronto 
Bible  College. 

Dr.  Rhodes  had  a  keen  and  altrt  mind  and  he 
never  ceased  to  be  a  student.  While  serving  in 
the  ministry  he  carried  on  post-graduate  studies, 
and  he  received  the  B.D.  degree  from  the  Presby- 
terian College  in  Montreal.  He  continued  these 
studies  even  after  becoming  Principal  of  the 
Bible  College,  and  in  1949  he  won  from  Em- 
manuel College  in  Toronto  the  highest  degree  at- 
tainable by  examination,  that  of  Doctor  of 
Theology. 

The  real  significance  of  Dr.  Rhodes'  life,  how- 
ever, did  not  consist  in  his  unique  gifts  as  a  tea- 
cher and  a  scholar,  but  in  something  quite  dif- 
ferent. It  lay  in  the  fact  that  he  always  preser\ed 
a  fine  reserve,  the  mark  of  a  strong  character. 
He  kept  his  motives  to  himself  and  did  not  talk 
about  them.  But  it  was  evident  to  those  who 
watched  his  course  and  knew  him  best,  that  he 
regarded  his  life  as  a  divine  destiny.  Each  step 
that  he  took  was  considered  and  decided  in  the 
light  of  that.  When  he  turned  aside  from  a 
pulpit  ministry  where  his  preaching  had  become 
so  outstanding,  and  accepted  the  call  to  a  teach- 
ing ministry  in  the  Bible  College,  it  was  because 
he  believed  that  was  the  way  God  was  leading 
him.  He  gave  no  sign  that  he  was  ever  moved 
by  personal  ambition,  but  always  by  a  desire  to 
obey  the  Lord  Jesus  Christ  and  be  found  in  His 
will.  That  was  the  dominant  purpose  of  his 
own  life,  and  he  would  urge  the  students  to  make 
it  their  purpose  too.  Here  is  the  closing  passage 
in    an    address    he   gave    them    on    one    occasion: 


"We  who  belong  to  the  T.  B.  C.  family  constant- 
ly remember  that,  although  free  to  enjoy  the  full 
liberty  of  the  children  of  God,  we  are  yet  bond- 
servants of  Jesus  Christ.  That  is  the  only  security 
of  our  Christian  freedom.  It  requires  of  us  con- 
stant watchfulness.  Only  as  we  exercise  our- 
selves as  the  servants  of  Christ,  'doing  the  will 
of  God  from  the  heart,'  constrained  thereto  by 
the  love  of  Christ,  can  we  walk  in  that  freedom 
and  manifest  that  lo\e  of  which  we  have  thought 
this  evening." 

This  characteristic  of  quiet  and  silent  reserve 
was  manifested  in  a  special  and  unusual  way  dur- 
ing the  last  years  of  Dr.  Rhodes'  life.  Four  years 
after  he  became  Principal  he  had  to  undergo  a 
very  serious  operation,  and  it  seemed  that  he  was 
not  recovering.  He  spent  si.x  weeks  in  the  hos- 
pital, and  much  prayer  was  offered  up  for  him, 
bringing  out  the  deep  affection  of  the  whole 
student  body  and  the  warm  place  he  had  won  in 
their  hearts.  His  life  was  spared  at  that  time  in 
answer  to  their  prayers.  But  his  former  robust- 
ness did  not  return,  and  he  was  warned  that  he 
might  not  have  many  years  to  live.  In  the  face 
of  this  he  went  back  to  his  post  as  Principal  and 
resumed  all  his  lectures,  as  if  nothing  had  oc- 
curred to  interfere  with  them. 

But  it  was  evident  that  he  was  always  in  pain. 
'\'et  he  would  never  speak  of  it  nor  let  any  one 
talk  about  it.  He  went  on  with  his  daily  work  in 
his  office  and  maintained  his  personal  contacts 
with  the  students  and  his  fellowship  with  the 
members  of  the  staff.  But  at  night  he  could  not 
lie  down  to  sleep.  For  nearly  two  years  he  had 
to  sleep  sitting  in  a  chair.  Only  his  dear  wife, 
who  suffered  with  him,  knew  what  he  was  going 
through.  The  patient  heroism  which  Dr.  Rhodes 
manifested  in  all  his  suffering  and  the  steady 
reserve  with  which  he  bore  it  was  magnificent. 
He  could  say  with  a  profound  depth  of  mean- 
ing:— 

"Pain's  furnace  heat  within  me  quivers, 
God's  breath  upon  the  flame  doth  blow, 
And  all  my  heart   in  anguish  shivers. 
And  trembles  in  the  hery  glow. 
I  only  whisper,  'As  God  will'. 
And,  in  His  hottest  fire,  hold  still   ' 

That  is  the  legacy  which  Dr.  Rhodes  has  left 
to  the  Toronto  Bible  College.  He  revealed  what 
it  means  for  the  Christian  to  "hold  still"  when 
tailed  upon  to  suffer.  He  showed  what  the  grace 
of  God  can  do  in  the  life  of  one  who  passes 
through  the  furnace  of  affliction,  and  how  that 
grace  triumphs  when  it  is  quietly  trusted.

President    of    the     Board 


MAKE  KNOWN  HIS  FAITHFULNESS" 

(A  Alen.i^^e  frnin  the  Board  of  Goieniors) 
to  the  class  of  '54 


The  Board  of  Governors  extend  congratulations 
to  members  of  the  graduating  class  of  1954.  This 
is  a  banner  year,  and  graduation  is  an  outstand- 
ing event  for  each  one  of  you. 

You  have  applied  yourselves  to  studies  and 
practical  Christian  activities  and  are  now  prepared 
for  life's  experiences  that  lie  immediately  ahead. 
You  will  step  from  these  halls  of  learning  as  am- 
bassadors of  Christ  to  "MAKE  KSOW'K  HIS 
FAITHFULNESS"  in  mercy,  love  and  grace  to 
the  uttermost  ends  of  the  earth. 

That  which  you  have  seen  and  heard  you  will 
declare — That  God  is  Light  and  in  Him  is  no 
darkness  at  all — That  God  sent  forth  His  Son — 
and  Jesus  spake,  saying,  "/  am  the  Light  of  the 
itoiid:  he  that  followeth  me  shall  not  walk  in 
darkness,  but  shall  have  the  Light  of  Life  ".  — 
As  the  Father  sent  Jesus  into  the  world,  even  so 
hath  the  Lord  sent  you,  and  says  concerning  you 
— "Ye  are  the  light  of  the  world.  Let  your  light 
so  shine  before  men  that  they  may  see  your  good 
works  and  glorify  your  Father  which  is  in 
Heaven '. 

Members   of   the   board   have   heard    much   this 


year  about  the  quality  of  the  student  body.  We 
who  see  you  only  occasionally  may  be  inclined 
to  regard  you  as  "diamonds  in  the  rough",  but, 
evidently,  according  to  reports,  there  are  gems  of 
some  brilliance  in  our  midst. 

There  are  three  features  of  this  most  precious 
of  all  stones  that  are  very  interesting  to  contem- 
plate— 

Firstly — It  is  a  cut  stone — which  speaks  of  dis- 
cipline   and    testing    in    the    fires    of    affliction. 

Secondly — It  is  a  polished  stone  which  suggests 
the  outcome  to  those  who  submit  themselves  to 
the  hands  of  the  Master — "polished  after  the 
similitude  of  a  palace". 

Thirdly — A  Diamond  is  a  reflector.  Its  deep 
and  sparkling  beauty  is  the  reflected  glory  of  an- 
other light.  — Your  life  will  reflect  the  light  of 
His  countenance.  His  power  and  His  might;  His 
compassion  for  lost  sinners,  and  you'll  turn  them 
from   darkness   to   light. 

Furthermore,  your  graduation  will  bring  you 
into   the   larger   company   of   the   T.B.C.    alumni

'HOLDINQ  FORTH  THE  WORD  OF  LIFE" 

'  lUBILEE — a  i^rand  Old  Testament  word  meaning  tlK 

blast  ot  a  trumpet  as  a  sign  of  public  joy,  and  tor  now, 
as  well  as  then,  a  time  of  thanksgiving  for  all  that  is 
passed,   and    a   symbol   of   faith   for  the   future. 

T.B.C.  this  year  celebrates  its  Diamond  Jubilee,  com- 
memorating 60  years  of  Bible-centred,  Spirit-filled  train- 
ing of  men  and  women  for  service  at  home  and  abroad, 
looking  back  with  joy,  looking  around  with  confidence, 
and   looking   forward   in   faith. 

Ihe  School  had  small  beginnings,  way  back  in  May 
1894,  when  Dr.  Elmore  Harris,  founder  and  pastor  of 
Walmer  Road  Baptist  Church,  called  together  men  of 
faith  and  \ision  for  the  formation  of  a  Bible  Training 
School,  which  he  felt  to  be  a  vital  necessity  in  that  day 
of  evangelism   and  missionary   fervor. 

The    need    was    evident,    and    the    response    was    heart 
warming.      Men   and   women   flocked   to   the  school,   and 
within  four  years  it  was  necessary  to  put  up  a  building  at 
110  College  Street. 

For  thirty  years  this  building  was  used  for  the  training 
of  Christian  workers.  When  the  building  was  expropri- 
ated for  the  expanding  University  of  Toronto,  the  present 
site  was  chosen,  and  16  Spadina  Road  with  its  large  aud- 
itorium, class  rooms,  library  and  dining  room,  became  the 
centre  of  evangelical,  Bible-centred  training.  Here  young 
people  came  in  increasing  numbers,  until  facilities  wen 
taxed  to  the  utmost. 

In  1938  the  large  building  immediately  to  the  south 
of  T.B.C.  was  purchased,  providing  further  facilities  for 
the  Bible  College's  "increasing  purpose".  Shortly  after- 
wards the  building  was  taken  over  by  the  army  and  re- 
turned to  the  school  some  ten  years  later.  Now  it  con- 
tains the  offices  of  faculty  members,  prayer  rooms 
for  students,  student  Cabinet  room,  missionary  lib- 
rary and  practice  rooms  for  students  of  piano  and 
\oice. 

Extra  space  has  been  rented  to  missionary  organ- 
izations such  as  Voice  of  the  Andes,  Shantymen's 
Christian  Asjiociation,  Egypt  General  Mission,  Nile 
Mission  Press  and  British  Syrian  Mission,  thus  mak- 
ing space  available  to  others  of  "like  precious  faith" 
and   passion. 

The  buildings  and  grounds  now  axailable  at  1-4-16 
Spadina  Road  allow  for  proposed  expansion  in  the 
coming   years.

past  century,  and  we  owe  a 
great  debt  to  their  selfless, 
consecrated  effort  to  meet  an 
increasing    need. 

The  only  other  Bible  School 
in  North  America  was  the 
one  begun  by  D.  L.  Moody 
in  Chicago.  There  was  no 
pattern,  no  precedent  upon 
which  to  work.  But  the  Lord 
showed  the  way  to  do  His 
work  best.  It  was  decided 
very  early,  that  all  decisions  must  be  unanimous, 
that  long  and  fervent  prayer  and  .seeking  the 
will  of  God  must  precede  all  discussions,  and  that 
the  Holy  Spirit  must  have  the  leadership  in  the 
corporate   body  of  the   school   at   all   times. 

These  three  factors,  plus  unwavering  loyalty  to 
the  Bible  as  the  Word  of  God,  and  the  repudia- 
tion of  all  Higher  Criticism  or  modernism,  has 
made  T.B.C.  one  of  the  most  powerful  spiritual 
influences  on  Canadian  church  life.  The  impact 
lias  gone  farther  afield,  for  hundreds  of  mission- 
aries have  gone  out  to  nearly  three  score  countries 
of  the  world,  preaching  the  unsearchable  riches 
of  Christ.  "Holding  forth  the  Word  of  Life" 
has  been  the  motto,  and  "holding  forth  the  Word 
of  Life"  has  been  the  aim  of  all  graduates.  Many 
graduates  of  T.B.C.  have  attained  high  places  of 
leadership  in  Mission  Societies,  Churches  and 
Home  Missions,  and  many  are  noted  names  in 
Christian  service  today. 

An  early  associate  of  Dr.  Harris  was  the  first 
Principal,  Dr.  Wm.  Stewart.  He  was  a  fine 
choice  for  the  early  formative  years  of  the  school, 
and  left  his  mark  as  a  Christian,  an  educator  and 
administrator. 

Perhaps  few  will  recall 
those  early  years  and  the 
men  of  that  day.  But  there 
are  thousands  whose  mem- 
ories are  brighter  and  more 
fragrant  because  of  later  ad- 
ditions to  the  school.  The 
names  of  Dr.  John  McNicol

the  vital  factor  it  is 
of  God. 

He  joined  the  staff  in   1902.  and   in   1906  wa 
appointed  Principal  for  one  year.     The  followin< 


year  he  was  appointed 
again  for  a  year,  then 
as  he  naively  said  on 
one  occasion,  "and  I've 
been  here  ever  since!" 
For  forty  years  he 
guided  the  work  of  the 
school,  then  put  his 
mantle  upon  J.  Bernard 
Rhodes,  a  brilliant 
young  Presbyterian  min- 
ister. Dr.  Rhodes  at- 
tained the  highest  de- 
grees in  Theology,  was

a  Splendid  teacher,  and  added  a  high  spiritual 
lustre  to  the  quality  of  training  at  T.B.C. 

Then  in  the  m)-stery  of  God's  providence.  Dr. 
Rhodes  was  taken  home  to  be  with  his  Lord  in 
July,  1953,  after  several  years  of  intense  suffering. 

Once  again  Dr.  McNicol  took  up  the  reins  and 
his  skilful  hand  and  wide  experience  have  guided 
the  school  during  this  difficult  period  of  its  his- 
tory. 

Other  men,  too  numerous  to  mention,  have  all, 
under  God,  been  used  in  the  work  of  training 
Christian  workers.  Memories  will  hark  back  to 
Dr.  R.  P.  MacKay,  T.  B.  Hyde.  Frank  S.  Weston, 
Dr.  J.  M.  Waters,  Ernest  Shildrick,  Dixon  A. 
Burns,  and  many  others  now  at  home  with  the 
Lord,  retired,  or  in  other  spheres  of  Christian 
service.  They  were  all  men  "of  whom  the  world 
was  not  worthy,  "  and  we  can  thank  God  for  them 
all. 

Toronto  Bible  Col-

Governors  and  Advis-

"Always  abounding  ....  that  I  may  win  Christ."  This  has  been 
Al's  desire  ever  since  1947  when  he  committed  himself  to  the  Lord. 
Prior  to  his  coming  to  T.B.C.  he  served  as  a  lithographer  and  was 
aaive  in  radio  work.  The  future?  .  .  .  further  training  in  Seminary. 
"According  to  my  earnest  expectation  and  my  hope,  that  in  nothing  1 
shall  be  ashamed,  but  that  with  all  boidness,  as  aiways.  so  now  also 
Christ  shall  be  magnified  in  my  body,  whether  it  be  by  life  or  by 
death."     (Phil.  1:20;.

life.  It  was  at  her  mothers  knee  that  she  gave  her  heart  to  Him. 
■While  at  T.B.C,  her  knowledge  of  what  Salvation  cost  Christ  increased 
and  she  dedicated  herself  to  His  service.  As  for  her  future  she  will

"Life  as  His  own  is  wonderful."  These  are  Helen's  words  as  she 
praises  God  for  saving  her  while  yet  a  child.  Throughout  her  final 
year  she  has  served  the  College  as  Head  Girl  with  strength  of  pur- 
pose and  charaaer.  As  she  looks  to  the  foreign  field  after  graduation, 
Helen  makes  Col.  1:11  her  praise  of  thanksgiving,  "Strengthened  with 
all  might,  according  to  His  glorious  power,  unto  all  patience  and 
longsuffering   with    joyfulness."

In  March,  1950,  Tom  gave  his  life  to  the  Lord.  Many  times 
before  his  conversion  he  had  known  something  was  lacking  in  his 
life  but  hesitated  to  surrender  all.  Since  entering  T.B.C.  he  has  held 
two  summer  pastorates  under  the  Unired  Church  of  Canada,  gaining 
valuable  experience  for  future  service  in  the  Lord's  work.  "And  let  us 
not  be  weary  in  well  doing:  for  in  due  season  we  shall  reap,  if  we 
faint  not."      (Gal.  6:9).

Years  of  church  work  failed  to  bring  happiness  to  Ruth.  When 
Christ  came  into  her  life  she  received  the  peace  that  the  world  can 
neither  give  nor  take  away.  During  her  course  at  T.B.C.  she  has 
engaged  in  children's  work  and  upon  furthering  her  education  will 
go  lorth  in  His  service.     (11  Cor.  3:5).

During  the  past  three  years  we  have  enjoyed  the 
fellowship  of  Elizabeth  and  Ken.  Unfortunately,  for 
the  time  being,  Elizabeth  has  had  to  discontinue  the 
course.  Due  to  the  fact  that  Ken  was  late  entering 
sihool  in  IQ'il,  he  will  graduate  later,  on  com- 
pleting his  studies.  We  pray  that  the  Lord  will  richly 
bless    both    of    them.

TARQET  FOR  TODAY  AND  TOMORROW 


The  ability  to  win  souls  for  Christ  does  not  descend 
upon  us  overnight'  like  dew.  The  skill  to  reach  the 
mysterious  heart  of  a  man  or  woman  or  child  on  a  dis- 
tant shore,  in  a  strange  environment  and  using  speech 
that  sounds  to  us  weird  and  outlandish,  is  an  acquire- 
ment beset  with  great  difficulties.  The  richest  flowers 
for  our  Saviour's  great  crowning  day  are  often  gath- 
rred    wet   with    tears. 

There  is  nu  cheap  and  easy  road 
To  pack  and  label  men  for  God 
And  save  them    by   I  he   barrel  load. 

Those  who  come  to  Toronto  Bible  College  should 
realize  that  we  do  not  promise  to  impart  to  them 
some  secret  —  like  the  word  "Abracadabra"  fhat  we 
used  in  childhood  —  whereby  all  the  toil  and  tears 
are  taken  out  of  the  hard  processes  of  learning.  "Study 
to  show  thyself  approved  unto  God,  a  workman  that 
needeth  not  to  be  ashamed."  For  many,  the  disciplined 
habits  of  a  true  student  will  not  be  easy  to  acquire. 
\  workman  is  expected  to  ivork.  It  is  labourers  that 
'.hrist  desires  for  His  harvest  fields.  No  magic  will 
3  it  painlessly  for  us.     Bur  what  discoveries  many  of 


us  make  in  the  happy  fellowship  of  kindred  minds,  and 
in    the    warm    atmosphere    of    prayerfulness!  What 

unforgettable  lessons  we  learn  as  we  spell  out  the 
truth  of  many  a  promise  that  we  light-heartedly  sang — 
for  instance: 

"He  gives  me  overcoming  power — What  a  wonder- 
ful  Saviour!" 

Bible  College  days  are  therefore  the  experimental 
station  in  which  we  try  out  in  our  own  lives  the 
truth  of  the  Gospel  that  we  are  summoned  to  give  to 
others.  Our  hope  is  that  missionary  Councils  and 
Church  Boards  will  find,  as  a  result  of  Training  and 
fellowship  here,  that  a  candidate  who  graduates  will  be, 
as   Paul  requires,   "nut  a  noi'ict:"    (I   Tim.   3:6). 

The  days  ahead  look  strangely  uncertain.  The 
tones  of  Christ's  voice  have  added  urgency:  "Go,  work 
today  in  my  vineyard."  It  is  this  note  of  doing  it 
today  (while  it  is  still  called  today)  and  the  call  for 
diligence,  which  need  emphasis  in  our  time.  It  is 
for  days  of  revival  and  days  of  reaping  that  we  look; 
so  we  both  work  and  pray.

THE  FEAR  OF  THE  LORD  IS  THE  BEQINNINQ  OF  WISDOM 


A  deserving  consecrated  youth,  however  deficient  he 
may  be  in  academic  background,  need  not  be  deprived 
of  an  opportunity  for  Bible  College  training — provided 
he  has  the  spiritual  stamina  and  the  mental  capacity  to 
undertake  such  training.  Through  the  facilities  of  the 
Toronto  Bible  College  Preparatory  School  ample  pro- 
vision has  been  made  for  his  advancement. 

In  the  year  1933  a  preparatory  year  of  study  was 
introduced  into  the  life  and  work  of  the  Bible  College 
to  aid  those  who  had  not  the  necessary  educational 
equipment'  for  entrance  into  the  Bible  course,  and 
who  were  not  able  to  get  further  training  because  of 
age  or  other  reasons.  Through  these  twenty  years  the 
value  of  its  instruction  has  been  proven  again  and 
again  by  the  mental  and  spiritual  growth  of  the  stu- 
dents who  have  taken  advantage  of  it.  Among  the 
members  of  the  T.B.C.  Alumni  who  have  served  the 
cause  of  Christ  faithfully  and  well  both  at  home  and 
abroad  are  men  and  women  whose  training  commenced 
in  the  Preparatory  Year. 

Since  the  students  in  the  Preparatory  Year  are  now- 
working  towards  a  standing  recognized  by  the  Province 
of  Ontario  in  matriculation  subjects,  the  name  of  the 
preparatory  coujse  has  been  changed  to  the  Toronto 
Bible  College  Preparatory  School.  The  students  are 
encouraged   to   register   in   the  evening  classes   of  near- 


by city  collegiates  which  they  attend  rwo  or  three  even- 
ings during  the  week.  The  classroom  in  the  Bible  Col- 
lege is  at  the  present  time  more  closely  co-ordinated 
with  the  teaching  in  the  collegiates;  special  instruction 
is  given  in  the  high  school  subjects  studied  at  night 
such  as  English,  Mathematics,  and  History.  The  stu- 
dents share,  also,  in  the  systematic  study  of  the  English 
Bible,  in  the  general  music  classes  of  the  Colle.ue,  in 
the  devotional  and  missionary  meetings,  and  in  the 
fellowship  of  the  entire  student  body. 

The  best  education  is  none  too  good  for  the  ser- 
vice of  the  Master.  It  is  essential  that  one  be  able  to 
think  clearly  in  order  to  be  sound  in  one's  judgment' 
and  in  the  interpretation  of  the  Scripture.  A  thorough 
knowledge  of  the  English  language  is  essential  if 
you  are  to  serve  the  Lord  acceptably  in  the  homeland, 
and  it  is  important  in  acquiring  another  language  if 
you  are  called  to  serve  overseas.  Thus  the  Preparatory 
School  is  ready  to  accept  as  students  young  people, 
eighteen  years  of  age  or  over,  who,  having  realized  the 
value  of  a  higher  academic  training,  are  recommended 
by  their  pastors  or  other  responsible  perjions  as  pos- 
sessing an  approved  Christian  character  and  giving  pro- 
mise of  usefulness  in  the  service  of  the  Lord.

DEVOTIONAL  COMMITTEE 


w 


N 


To  the  Devotional  Committee  of  T.B.C.  has  been 
given  the  very  solemn  responsibility  of  arranging  and 
directing  the    devotional  phase  of  College  life. 

T.B.C.  has  through  all  of  its  60  years  grown  through 
the  faithful  prayers  of  those  interested  in,  and  con- 
nected with  the  School.  The  present  student-body  as 
well  believes  that  without  prayer  we  can  avail  nothing, 
and  therefore  the  meetings  for  prayer  and  Christian 
fellowship  are  ihe  chief  concern  of  our  committee. 

Our  committee  meetings  are  warm,  friendly  and  very 
informal.  A  different  member  each  week  is  responsible 
to  lead  our  devotions — which  generally  take  most  of 
the  period,  and  all  necessary  business  is  done  in  the 
last  few  minutes  before  the  bell  rings.  In  these  few 
minutes  schedules  for  the  Morning  Prayer  Meeting  or 
Saturday    Evening    Fellowship    are    arranged,    and    some 


member  gladly  offers  to  give  an  hour  ot  his  time  to 
make  a  bulletin-board  notice.  Ways  and  means  of  en- 
couraging more  students  to  come  and  receive  the  bless- 
ings resulting  from  the  different  College  devotional 
meetings  are  often  discussed.  Then  the  editor  of  our 
small  monthly  devotional  bulletin  would  ask  in  a 
tired,  but  always  hopeful  voice,  if  anyone  had  brought 
in  the  promised  contribution. 

The  mercies  of  the  Lord  are  renewed  every  morning 
as  we  gather  for  our  daily  student  Morning  Prayer 
Meeting.  This  permits  us  to  gather  as  a  group  to  begin 
the  day  before  the  Lord  and  to  seek  His  guidance. 

The  Saturday  Evening  Fellowship  is  the  opportunity 
to  end  the  week  together,  thankful  for  His  blessings, 
and  seeking  strength  for  the  students'  witness  on  the 
Lords  Day.

KITCHEN 


CUT-UPS  I 


Did  you  ever  think  about  planning  a  100  mile 
bus  trip  for  30  people?  Or  a  full  course  turkey 
dinner  for  150  people?  Neither  had  most  of  the 
members  of  the  Social  Committee,  until  a  Thanks- 
.uiving   trip   and   Christmas   dinner    loomed    up. 

In  our  preparations  for  the  Christmas  Dinner  many 
alarming  and  amusing  incidents  occurred  -  for  instance, 
who  could  or  would  clean  the  turkeys?  What  would 
"Grampa"  Goodspeed  ( of  the  Greatest  Christmas  Gift 
fame)  do  with  his  brushcut?  Did  they  have  a  red 
suit  the  correct  size  for  Al?  Who  took  the  missionary 
costumes  without  permission?  Throughout  all  our  ex- 
periences we  sought  to  "do  those  things  that  are  pleas- 
in.g  in  his  sight."      (I  John   3:22). 

As  we  review  our  endeavours  to  guide  the  Social 
activities    of    T.B.C.    students    we    are    amazed    at    the 


way  God  has  led  and  guided  us  in  our  plans  and 
preparations.  Every  effort  has  been  a  blessing  to  us 
and  resulted  in  greater  success  than  we  deserved — 
illustrating  the  value  of  our  committee  meeting  prayer 
session,  fellowship  in  Christ  and  discussion  under  a 
capable    Social    Leader. 

Our  social  activities  this  year  included  the  annual 
Nia.gara  Falls  bus  trip,  a  weiner  roast  on  the  Brank- 
some  Hall  grounds,  the  Christmas  entertainment  with 
school  talent  (not  to  for.get  the  unforgettable  Social 
Committee  Drama  Workshop ) .  The  Christmas  turkey 
dinner,  the  skating  party  at  Riverdale  Terrace  and  the 
combined    Alumni  -  Student    ni.ght. 

In  these  social  fellowship  meetings  we  reco.gnize  in 
another  way  the  great  reality  of  T.B.C.  fellowship  as 
we  gather  together  AI.I.  ONI-   IN  CHRKST!

worth  the  many  hours  of    work  and  the  multiplicity  of  detail  which  constantly  loom  up  before  us.' 

Can  worth  be  determined  when  young  Christians  lay  their  shoulder  to  the  wheel  and  with  a  prayer  on  their  lips 
push  over  the  seemingly  impossible  obstacles.''  Or  who  knows  the  value  of  giving  a  message  of  encouragement',  or 
perhaps  a  favourite  poem  or  pithy  saying  which  will  lift  that  discouraged  one  and  spur  that  careless  one  on  to 
greater  things  in  the  Lord.'  This  is  the  privilege  the  Broadcast  Committee  enjoys,  and  many  are  the  blessings  we 
receive  as  we  work  together.  .\s  a  committee,  we  would  pray  that  you  have  received  as  great  a  blessing  from  these 
editions  as  has  been  ours  while  preparing  them  for  you.

The  Missionary   Committee   is   responsible   tor   one   ot  the  most  important  phases  ol  siuiicnt  lite.      llic  rcspon 

sibility  is  greater  since  many  receive  their   "marching  orders"    during   school   days.      The  committee   has    live    main 

items  to  care  for  in  promoting  the  missionary  interests  of  the  School.     One  of  these  is  the  Reading  Ronm.    Here 
is  found  a  wealth  of  missionary  magazines,  papers,  prayer  letters,  etc. 

The  Missionary  Library  is  another  gold  mine  of  facts  and  inspiration.  Here  the  student  may  ponder  over  the 
great  missionary  classics  and  follow  from  page  to  page  God's  working  in  the  lives  of  these  great  men  and  women. 

A  time  is  set  aside  each  Thursday  afternoon  when  a  missionary  can  meet  with  students  to  answer  questions 
concerning  the  field.  This  is  known  as  our  Study  Group.  This  year  the  committee  has  tried  to  meet  even  more 
specifically  the  needs  of  the  students  in  the  Missionary  Meetings.  AH  speakers  have  been  asked  to  state  the 
qualifications  demanded  by  their  own  Mission  Boards.  They  complied  very  well  with  this  request  and  have  given  us 
their  information  in  the  form  of  lectures  so  that  we  could  take  notes. 

Very  early  in  the  year  plans  were  made  for  the  Missionary  Conference 
held  in  February  each  year.  This  is  an  annual  event  and  a  high-light  of 
the  year.  For  a  week,  the  activities  of  the  school  are  mission-centred. 
Missionaries  from  all  over  the  world  and  representing  many  different 
Societies  come  to  tell  us  of  the  need  for  our  service  in  specific  parts  of 
the  world.  The  whole  school  takes  on  a  foreign  atmosphere  with  dis- 
plays, curios  and  banners  which  present  the  challenge  from  the  Bible. 
No  matter  where  you  turn,  the  foreign  held  can  not  escape  your  eye. 
We  regard  this  Conference  as  being  of  very  great  importance  because 
many  of  the  students  are  confirmed  as 
*«i       .      .    ~  %  to    the    place    where   God    would    have 

^  •*  them  serve. 

Unless  God  inspires  and  directs  all 
our  activities,  we  regard  our  efforts  as 
useless.  Every  Tuesday  morning  the 
Committee  gathers  for  prayer.  The 
missionary  effort  of  the  College  as  a 
whole  is  upheld  before  the  Throne  of 
Grace  in  the  Missionary  Prayer  Aieet- 
ing  which  is  held  each  afternoon  ex- 
cept Thursday.  At  the  close  of  this 
session  we  would  like  to  offer  our 
thanks.giving  to  God  for  His  blessing 
in  the  Missionary  Department  of  the 
•School.

WE  WILL  SERVE  HIM 


Evangelicals  are  peculiarly  committed  to  a  leaching 
ministry,  both  as  a  preparation  for  Christian  experience 
and  as  a  follow-up  from  such  experience. 

At  no  other  period  in  its  modern  history  has  the 
Church  found  it  more  difficult  to  staff  its  Sunday 
Schools  with  competeni  teachers.  Yet,  in  urban  centres 
especially,  in  both  down-town  and  suburban  areas. 
the  population  curve  keeps  ascending.  Our  opportunity 
for  reaching  impressionable  children  is  almost  unparal- 
leled. 

The  Greeks  had  an  interesting  symbol  for  Oppor- 
tunity. They  represented  this  aspect  of  experience  as  a 
beautiful  maiden  rushing  past,  her  hair  streaming 
out  behind;  if  one  had  a  mind  to  seize  her,  one  must 
hurry! 

The  Teacher  Training  Course  at  T.B.C.  enables  us 
to  lay  hold  of  our  teaching  opportunity.  The  cur- 
riculum here  provides  for  a  three-year  cycle  with  the 
Church  School  especially  in  mind.  The  subjects  taught 
are  these: 

Sunday  School  Administration 
Sunday  School  Specialization 

(a)    Nursery.  Beginner  and  Primary 


(b)  Junior,    Intermediate    and   Senior 

( c )  Young   People 

(d)  Adults 

Pedagogy  (principles  and  methods  oj  teaching) 
In  this  area  of  service  to  the  churches,  the  Toronto 
Bible  College  is  a  member  body  of  the  Evangelical 
Teacher  Training  Association,  and  it  co-operates  with 
ihis  Association  in  advocating  a  trained  teacher  for 
every  Sunday  School  class.  Students  who  complete  the 
required  cycle,  as  outlined  above,  plus  certain  other 
subjects  needed  to  round  out  the  curriculum  ( Bible, 
Evangelism,  Missions,  etc.).  receive  the  special  E.T.T.A 
diploma  with  the  gold  seal  in  addition  to  the  T.B.C. 
day  school  diploma  or  the  evening  class  certificate. 
They  are  then  considered  qualified  to  act  as  instructors 
in    local    church    classes,   thus    "handing   on    the   torch." 

Since  the  College's  teacher-trainin.g  classes  are  tied 
in  with  the  Evening  School  it  is  possible  for  folk  in 
business  and  various  other  occupations  to  increase 
their  competence  in  this  field  by  spending  a  few  hours 
each  week  in  the  delightful,  spiritual  atmosphere  of  the 
Bible  College.

EVENTIDE 


To  those  Christians  who  are  not  preparing  for  full- 
time  service,  as  are  our  friends  of  the  day  classes,  there 
is  wonderful  provision  that  we  might  come  together 
on  Tuesday  and  Thursday  evenings  to  study  the  Word 
of  God.  And  since  we  believe  that  the  Word  of  God 
is  the  agency  of  the  knowledge  of  His  will  for  the  in- 
dividual life,  our  fellowship  is  centred  in  His  Word 
which  reveals  His  presence  among  us. 

As  we  enter  the  Toronto  Bible  College  we  are  im- 
mediately impressed  with  the  atmosphere  of  reverence 
which  characterizes  the  student  life  of  the  College  family. 
In  every  aspect  of  our  student  fellowship,  whether  in 
our  fellowship  in  prayer,  in  our  gathering  to  hear  the 
Word  of  God  imparted  through  His  faithful  servants. 
in  our  social  life,  or  in  our  many  opportunities  for 
Christian  witness  outside  of  T.B.C.,  prayer  is  the  basis 
of  our  every  step.  To  friends  who  visit  with  us  at 
T.B.C.  there  is  given  an  impression  of  fellowship  of  a 
peculiar  nature,  which  speaks  of  the  unseen  leadership 
of  the  Holy  Spirit  as  He  gathers  together,  in  unity  of 
spirit,  those  of  various  denominations. 

As  students  we  are  afforded  many  privileges  which 
tend  to  create  the  atmosphere  of  a  home  away  from 
home,    where    as    members    of   the    family    we    are    able 


to  discuss  on  a  mutual  basis  the  high-lights  of  our 
study  in  His  Word.  Several  of  our  members  are  gather- 
ed together  to  plan  and  to  promote  our  various  ac- 
tivities as  a  family  group.  At  T.B.C.  we  learn  and  realize 
the  importance  of  our  relationship  with  Christ,  and 
by  our  working  together  in  the  oneness  of  His  spirit, 
we  are  able  to  carry  our  witness  to  others  in  the  various 
mission  works  sponsored  by  the  student  body.  We  are 
thankful  for  the  privilege  of  being  co-labourers  to- 
gether with  our  friends  of  the  day  classes  in  proclaim- 
ing the  unsearchable  riches  of  Christ  to  this  needy 
world. 

In  one  voice  we  give  thanks  to  God  our  Father  for 
the  Toronto  Bible  College,  and  for  the  consecrated 
faculty  and  staff  who,  under  the  guidance  of  the  Holy 
Spirit,  bring  to  the  student  body  those  hidden  truths 
that  equip,  yea  empower  the  students  lo  become  en- 
samples  of  His  life,  which   is  the  Light  of  men. 

Blest  be  the  tie  that  biiu/s 

Our   hearts   in   Christian   love: 

The  fellowship  of  kindred  minds 

Is  like  to  that  above.

HAMILTON  EVENING  CLASS 


Class  In  Session 


During  recent  years  the  Toronto  Bible  College  has 
been  ■willing  to  extend  its  ministry  beyond  its  own 
doors  by  loaning  its  faculty  and  student  body  to  exten- 
sion enterprises.  As  ministers  from  various  com- 
munities have  approached  the  College  for  assistance  in 
evangelistic  campaigns,  the  student  choir  and  staff 
members  have  joined  together  for  community-wide  ef- 
forts  of  visitation   and   public   evangelism. 

Late  in  1952  the  Hamilton  Alumni  Branch  requested 
T.B.C.  to  provide  an  extension  effort  of  another  kind, 
evening  classes  in  their  city.  They  were  to  be  con- 
ducted on  a  basis  similar  to  the  teaching  and  spirit 
of  the  parent  College.  On  January  26,  1953,  t'he  new 
classes  were  inaugurated  in  the  Hamilton  Y.M.C.A. 
auditorium.  The  spontaneity  of  the  reception  accorded 
to  the  new  venture  gave  ample  confirmation  that 
Christian  young  people  in  Hamilton  had  a  real  hunger 
for  a  systematic  and  devotional  approach  to  the  study 
of  the  Word  of  God. 

The  response  of  the  first  term  was  an  encouraging 
signal  to  lay  plans  for  a  full  year's  work  in  our  Dia- 
mond Jubilee  Year.  The  passing  of  Dr.  Rhodes  and 
the  new  responsibilities  which  suddenly  were  laid  upon 
Dr.  McNicol  meant  that  the  rich  contribution  of  our 
two  Principals  would  no  longer  be  available  to  the 
new  classes.  Other  members  of  the  Faculty  were  called 
into  service,  so  that  when  the  new  term  opened  on 
Monday,  September  28,  195.3,  the  student  body  met 
Rev.  Andrew  MacBeaih,  Rev.  Douglas  C.  Percy,  Rev. 
C.  Alvin  Armstrong  and  Rev.  D.  E.  Raymer  as  the 
teaching   staff  for   the   present   term. 


Changes  and  progress  have  been  noted  through  the 
year.  The  students  have  gathered  each  Monday  in  Room 
410  of  the  vast  Wentworth  Avenue  Secondary  School. 
Usually  the  cheery  class  room  has  provided  a  welcome 
rest  after  the  long  hike  upstairs.  Late  in  the  autumn 
term  the  faculrj'  met  with  the  Alumni  Executive  and 
Evening  Class  representatives  to  appoint  a  Cabinet  to 
conduct  the  affairs  of  the  student  body,  composed  of 
graduates  of  the  College  and  members  of  the  classes. 
The  chairman  is  Marguerite  Knechtel,  '39.  Immediately 
upon  its  formation,  the  new  cabinet  made  plans  for  a 
delightful  social  evening  to  open  the  winter  term  on 
Monday,  January  4th.  A  very  happy  feature  was  the 
invitation  extended  by  the  Hamilton  Evening  Class 
Cabinet  to  the  Toronto  Evening  Class  Cabinet  which, 
with  the  Faculty,  drove  over  almost  in  full  force.  Mem- 
bers of  the  Toronto  Cabinet  explained  their  respective 
functions,   as   one   item   on   the   well-planned   program. 

The  evening  classes  in  Hamilton  illustrate  well  the 
extension  ministry  of  T.B.C.  as  related  to  each  of  our 
official  bodies.  The  Board  of  Governors  authorizes 
and  undertakes  to  assume  responsibility  for  the  success 
of  the  venture.  The  Faculty  supplies  the  teaching 
staff,  while  the  local  Alumni  Branch  makes  the  teach- 
ing ministry  possible  by  its  devotion  and  sacrificial 
efforts.  As  the  Class  of  '54  joins  the  world-wide 
Alumni  body,  its  members  too  will  find  many  oppor- 
tunities for  strengthening  the  alumni  branches  in  their 
various  activities  as  far  and  near  they  seek  to  "Hold 
Forth    the    Word    of   Life".

graduates  in  full  time  active  Christian  min- 
istry at  home  and  abroad,  and  many  more  in 
avenues  of  trade  and  commerce,  offices  and

Heaven,  "outposts"  if  you  please.  They 
look  for  a  better  country,  a  city,  whose  build- 
er and  maker  is  God. 

May  we  remind  you  that  the  Lord  counts 
on  your  faithfulness.  There  are  darkened 
places  on  earth  where  you  will  be  called  to 
shine.  He  promises  you  the  joy  of  heaven 
that  fadeth  not  away. 

God  bless  you  "54".  It  is  our  prayerful 
wish  that  as  your  life  reflects  His  glory,  and 
your  faithfulness  is  known,  you  will  have  a 
part  in  that  dazzling  jasper  brilliance  of  the

who  triumphs  gloriously  shall  celebrate  His

JUBILEE  YEAR 


1804  -  1954 

A  Jubilee  is  a  time  of  rejoicing.  During  1954  churches  all  around  the  world  will  be  joining 
in  the  celebration  of  the  Third  Jubilee  of  Bible  Society  work.  In  many  different  lands  graduates 
of  the  Toronto  Bible  College  will  share  in  this  celebration,  giving  thanks  for  the  Scriptures  in 
over    1000   tongues. 

Not  many  of  you  who  graduate  this  year  will  be  privileged  to  share  in  the  great  work  of 
translation,  but  all  of  yon  can  have  a  part  in  the  distribution  of  God's  Holy  Word.  Wherever 
you  go  you  will  find  the  Bible  Society  there,  ready  to  help  you  procure  the  Scriptures  you  need. 
May  God's  lilessing  rest   upon  yon   as  yon   go   forth   to  serve   for  the  extension   of   His   Kingiiom.

appreciation    of    the    Alumni    and    friends 
of  the  College. 

But  a  Jubilee  is  not  only  a  time  of  re- 
membrance and  joy.  It  is  al.so  one  of  thank- 
fulness. And  those  who  know  and  love 
T.B.C.  are  thankful:  thankful  for  its  heri- 
tage, for  its  service,  for  its  present  con- 
tribution to  the  furtherance  of  the  Gospel, 
and  thankful  that  He  Who  has  begun  such 
a  good  work  will  perfect  it  unto  the  day 
of  Jesus  Christ. 

This  is  the  Diamond  Jubilee  of  Toronto 
Bible  College.  Let  the  trumpets  sound  in 
glad  acclaim  of  all  that  God  hath  wrought, 
then  forward  to  the  new  year  and  the  new 
day,  letting  the  Word  of  Christ  dwell  in 
us  richly  in  all  wisdom,  and  going  out, 
"holding  forth  the  Word  of  Life".

Mulling  over  the  timeworn  excuses  people  give  for  not  going  to 
church,  the  Rev.  Grant  H.  Elford  of  Lake  Crystal,  Minn.,  and  Dr. 
Ronald  Meredith  of  Fresno,  Calif.,  on  a  trip  together,  compiled  this 
list  of  reasons  "Why  I  Do  Not  Attend  the  Movies." 

1.  The  manager  of  the  theatre  never  called  on  me. 

2.  I  did  go  a  few  times,  but  no  one  spoke  to  me.     Those  who 
go  there  aren't  very  friendly. 

3.  Every  time  I  go  they  ask  me  for  money. 

4.  Not  all  folks  live  up  to  the  high  moral  standards  of  the  films. 

5.  I  went  so  much  as  a  child,  I've  decided  I've  had  all  the  enter- 
tainment I   need. 

6.  The  performance  lasts  too  long;   I  can't  sit  still  for  an  hour 
and  three  quarters. 

7.  I  don't  always  agree  with  what  I  hear  and  see. 

8.  I  don't  think  they  have  very  good  music. 

9.  The  shows  are  held  in  the  evenings,  and  that's  the  only  time 
I  am  able  to  be  at  home  with  the  family.

THE  I.Q.  ON  JEWS  AND  JUDAISM 

By  REV.  M.  ZEIDMAN,  B.D.  (Copyrighted) 

The  Gospel  in  Israel 

Note:    Brother   Zeldman   has   just   returned   from    a   Missionary   Journey    in    Palestine,    and    with 

this  article     he  begins  a  series  of  informative  questions  and  answers  on  the   Holy   Land. 
(^. — What  is  the  Jewish  religious  state  of  affairs   in  Israel   today? 
A. — Contusing  and  deplorable  to  say  the  least. 

Q. — What  IS  the  cause  of  the  disturbance  and  uncertainty   in  Judaism? 

A. —  (1)   The  sudden  influx  of  a  million  Jewish  people  from  many  lands  with  diverse  customs, 
manners,  ethics,  religions  and  standards  of  civilization. 

(2)  The  immigrants  of  Morocco,  Iraq,  Yemen,  and  other  Asiatic  countries  are  caught  in 
a  tempestuous  melting  pot  of  European  Jewry,  largely  composed  of  socialist  labour, 
freethinkers  and  secular  Zionists  of  all  shades  of  political  parties  and  economic  theor- 
ies  and    ideas. 

(3)  A  small  remnant  of  ultra-Orthodox  Jews  who  are  trying  to  impose  rabbinical  Judaism 
on  a  majority  who  resent  being  shackled  with  laws  that  neither  they  nor  their  fathers 
were  able  to  bear. 

Q. — What  percentage  of  Jews  in  Israel  belong  to  extreme  Orthodox  groups? 

A. — At  the  last  general  election  they  polled  only  12%  of  the  votes  cast.  That  means  that  over 
80%  of  the  Jews  in  Israel  are  either  liberal,  progressive,  or  careless,  and  a  small  group 
are  altogether  godless. 

Q. — Are  there  any  indications  that  Jews  in  Israel  are  open  for  the  Gospel  message  of  Jesus 
the  Messiah? 

A. — Yes,  Jews  in  Israel  have  a  new  sense  of  liberty  and  freedom.  This  spirit  of  freedom  is 
expressed  in  a  desire  to  read  and  to  know.  There  are  more  newspapers  and  bookstores  in 
Tel  Aviv  per  se,  than  any  other  city  in  the  world.  There  is  a  keen  desire  to  lay  hold  of  a 
book  and  to  read  it.  The  Bible  ...  the  Old  as  well  as  the  New  Testament  is  sought  by 
many  to  read  and  to  study.  It  is  the  Christianas  opportunity  to  present  the  Gospel  of 
Jesus  Christ  to  hungry  souls  .   .  .  hungry  ...  for  the  Word  of  God. 

"I'our  prayerful  support  in  our  Christian  ministry  of  love  and  Jewish  Evangelism  will  be  much 

appreciated.    Help  us  present  to  the  Jews  the  Light  that  lightens  the  Gentiles,  and  the  Glory  of 

my  people  Israel.  The  Lord  will  reward  you  an  hundred-fold.
