to the right nor to the left; re move thy f o o t from evil.” Of all the peo ple that I can think of, I was th e last person who wanted to go to college. B u t having dedicated my life complete
and right away it appealed to me because of its spir itual content, but most of all, be cause Christ was pre-eminent and was taught in all courses offered at Biola. I knew I was not fully equip
ped to go out and serve the Lord, and I felt that Biola was fully qualified to prepare me. I felt also that I needed to grow spiritually and that there would be no better place to become spiritually mature than in the Christ- centered environment of Biola. Another thing that appealed to me was the personal interest that the teachers take in the students. They un doubtedly feel a responsibility to the Lord. The fact that every class period opens with a short devotion and with prayer is always a joy to me. The Christian fellowship was an other point where I could know men and women who love the Lord, and that these friendships would remain forever. What stood out mostly in my mind was that I would leam more about Jesus and His life and find that spiritual things are more important than material things. My desire is to leave Biola a soul-winner.

ly to the Lord, I could do nothing else but come to Biola when He called me here. I felt that High School was as far as I wanted to go with my formal education; college was the farthest thing from my mind until the middle of my Senior year in high school. God spoke to me and showed me that a thorough Bible course would prepare me for a life of service for Him. I thank the Lord for giving me this op portunity of studying to become a workman approved unto Him, rightly dividing the Word of truth. I know that I will be better prepared to serve my Lord after my education here at Biola.
I thank God for a school that stands true to the Word of God and its teach ings. With David I can say, “The Lord is my Shepherd.” And I can truly say that where He leads me I am willing to follow. Chuck Bisset Baltimore, Maryland BIOLA : Christian Training Center o f the West 9
