Uncle Jack and Uncle Harry just radiate Jesus' love and concern to those who have never met Jesus personally and invited Him into their lives - - as Lord and Savior. We all want to say thanks to these men of Cod, for all the great times we've had together and for encouraging us to get to know and serve our dear precious Father better. We have come to know and have believed the love which Cod has for us. God is love, and the one who abides in love abides in God, and Cod abides in him.
1 Join. 4:16 NASB
Mr. Stuart Page, Dean of Students--Registrar, has a BS from Syracuse University, and is a graduate from WORD OF LIFE Bible Institute. The responsi bilities of Mr. Page often go unrewarded, as he manages the Bible Institute with all it's activities, objectively, yet firmly. Although Mr. Page began the year in an aura of complete monarchy, gradually the era of democracy has pervaded the campus, as the students discovered his warm heart, and grew to know and love his family.
As the Glessners leave this next year, the student body of the Bible Institute would like to say, with Paul - - MI thank my God upon every remembrance of you . . . Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ. 1' Many blessings and prayers go with you As the Lord guides, leads, and sends you where you can best serve Him. We will all remember you, and love you - - As one of God's special men.
As the Instructor of Theology, Mr. Douglas Miller strove to advise us in all our deep technical questions that have baffled men of all ages. As a graduate of Grace Theological Semi nary, Winona Lake, Indiana, Mr. Miller and his wife Kaye, and daugh ter Rochelle, were actively involved in the teaching program of Word of Life, as they prepared to begin their ministry in France. In this familiar stance, Mr. Miller meditated on how he could answer another deep ques tion, without drowning us all in the waters of misunderstanding.
Mr. Donald Lough chose to endure the headaches and hallelujahs of being the music director at Word of Life. Formerly a very suc cessful businessman in New Jersey, Mr. Lough and his family felt compelled of the Lord to move out into the business of proclaiming the free gift--through music, God's love of sending His Son, Jesus Christ. His direc tion primarily was over the 100 voice collegian choir and the WOLBI Ensemble. His trumpeting ability added to the festive life of music at WOLBI.

Miss Ginny Newton, Dean of Women, and Mr. Jim Rich, Dean of Men, are our beloved WOLBI parents. We can always count on them for genuine caring, love, and discipline, too. Many a WOLBI student has been guided by these two in their service for the Lord.

If there wasn't anyone like Mr. Phillips around, who would we ever go to see about our tuition bill, or whose signature would mean as much on the back of a check, ready to hit the hands of some needy student?
Carolyn, as Mr. Page's secretary, I'm sure had her hands full. It just goes to show that behind every man is a woman, usually pushing. Although Miriam hasn't been with us long, it's great to see her using her abilities helping out WORD OF LIFE.
Without Guy, would we ever have been able to survive ? He coached us on which textbooks we needed to buy, and what were the best prices in the bookstore. Unfor tunately, our Student Discount cards would only get us so far.
Sue Ball kept us smiling, espe cially when wefd find some lovely demerit slips in our mailboxes. "Tribulation worketh patience. " And who else could keep a per son smiling as they pay their bills, than Sue Washburn!

My impression of the students, first of all has al ways been that they are re freshing to be around. Many of them come as rather new Christians—eager to learn. In spite of the fact that we are always hurrying through the various books of the Bible, they are thrilled with what they are learning. The students are also friendly. I have thoroughly enjoyed them.
The Two Builders
A builder builded a temple, He wrought it with grace and skill, Pillars and groins and arches, All fashioned to work his will, Men said as they saw its beauty, "It shall never know decay. Great is thy skill, O builder, Thy fame shall endure for aye. " A teacher builded a temple With loving infinite care, Planning each arch with patience, Laying each stone with prayer. None praised his unceasing efforts, None knew of his wondrous plan, For the temple the teacher builded, Was unseen by the eyes of man. Gone is the builder*s temple, Crumbled into the dust; Low lies each stately pillar, Food for consuming rust. But the temple the teacher builded Will last while the ages roll, For that beautiful unseen temple Is a students immortal soul.

I have been involved with the Word of Life Bible Institute, as a visiting Bible Teacher, since the 1970-71 school year in the history of the school. Therefore I have been able to evaluate the value of the school not only by the students that I have taught each year but by the larger yard stick of the lasting effects upon the graduates of the school. Hundreds of young people have received, in

and Bible study to better equip me to be an effec tive layman in my local church. God has used the concept now in a more formal way with the ad vent of the Word of Life Bible Institute. It has met a real need for our church es and the dividends are for eternity. —Linhart

I have been impressed with several things con cerning the school: its doctrinal soundness, high standards of conduct, program of Christian service and tremendous spirit of enthusiasm. Here is a place where students are really turned on to the things of God, —Renald E. Showers

addition to an excellent training in the Word of God, a solid foundation for Christian character and definite guidance from the Lord relative to His will for their life. With that Christian char acter and certainty of God*s will they have gone forth to serve. The prod uct of any school is the best evidence of the qual ity of the school. I sin cerely recommend WOLBI to all young people. —Didden

The concept of a year or two of concen trated Bible study has been an important fac tor in my life. As a saved college student, in a secular university, I dedicated my life to the Lord for service. Godly counsel at the time suggested a year or more of Theology

We, as students ap preciate these men of God who have diligently taught us the Word of God. Each man radiated the love and life of Christ in his own way and for that we are eternally grateful.

To keep the Bible Institute running smoothly and in top-notch shape, our maintenance men have a full responsibility, which they have handled with amazing dexterity. The men can't be missed on campus; the working man's hands are covered with grease, their clothes tell tales of innumerable scrub bings to no avail, and often times the aroma of gasoline can be found per meating the air, when our special friends are around. But nonetheless, with out these men serving the Lord in this special function at WORD OF LIFE, we would have no qualified help when the temporal things of this earth fail and break down.

Thanks to our hard-working kitchen staff under the direction of Dale Steenburgh (upper right) the meals came close to Mom!s home cooking. Steve Bubar (upper left) and Glenn Slothower (lower left) are old timers here at the BI. Tim Webber, another one of the veterans, left us in January to take a new position in Pennsylvania. In his place came Mike Sirois and Gary Loomis (lower right). And, as Dale is now finishing his term with Word of Life, Jerry McGuire will now be heading this department. Thanks for the good food, fellows!

These were just a few examples of what was heard at the Ranger Camp, May 30, 1977. As each of the Institute students participated in the Annual Country Fair, by being a part of the Midway, this day was truly a day of fun, relaxation, and sunshine. WORD OF LIFE won the water fight against the fearless Schroon Lake firemen. Someone finallybought the Old Word of Life Motorboat. Watermelon rinds and seeds graced the grounds at the end of the day. Many people received Jesus Christ as their personal Savior at the close of the fantastic outdoor rally. As these events were just a part of this memorable Me morial Day, so another way of reaching souls for Christ was portrayed.

Heading to the Infirmary wasn't a favorite ex perience, but at least you could find a little peace and quiet between playing tricks on the nurses . . . As a last re sort, our fearless muses sent us into Schroon Lake to 'visit Dr. Sawyer. Some times we wondered if THEY were just trying to get some peace and quiet. We owe our nurses a special thank you for all their patience and loving care—thanks for letting Jesus Christ shine through you!

Prior to each the Christmas and Spring tours, the choir re corded background tapes at Ca thedral Sound in Albany, New York. Trying to find the ’’made- over church” recording studio, and getting lost, always seeming to have a pitch problem, eating sack lunches, trying hard to be patient with problems and mis takes, learning new terminology — "TAKE 2”, and knowing a hard day*s work had been done, were some of the experiences that typ ified the recording sessions. These times were valuable lessons in learning that one must trust in the Lord alone for strength
controls were the absolute e best possible taped souid
Let me see this world, dear Lord, As diough I were looking through your eyes. A world of men who don’t want you Lord, But a world for which you died. Let me kneel with You in the garden, Blur my eyes with tears of agony. For if once I could see this world die way You see, I just know I’d serve you more faithfully. Let me see this world, dear Lord, Through your eyes when men mocked your holy name . When they beat You and spat upon You, Lord. Let me love them as You love them just the same, Let me stand high above my petty problems And grieve for men, hell bound eternally. For if once I could see this world the way You see, I just know I’d serve You more fa itii fully.

A BURDEN FOR SOULS A burden for souls, dear Lord A burden to share A love for the lost, dear Lord A genuine care A need to see this world as people, dying each day An urge to speak with them To do more than just pray A burden for souls, dear Lord A decision to make A goal to follow Christ Whatever it takes A life of sharing the gospel with whomever I can A need to get my eyes off myself To be God's man A burden for souls, dear Lord This will always be my prayer Make this burden real to me That I may always care to share God's love. AMEN.

I see God's perfectness on the Billowy Sea, His perfectness is shown by the many kinds of trees I see His perfectness in a field of wheat . . . But I ask myself—"Can I see God's perfectness in me?" Hjfa m t J Many years have gone by since the Lord made this earth, and the trees, and the leaf, and the seas, and the wheat are all still the saline. —But Man lost God's perfectness in the Garden of Eden; when we sinned against the Lord. When we sinned against the Lord. t *'v 'v** 7% ilk a . I see God's Salvation at a place called Calvary, I His Salvation is shown, by the blood on the tree; « I see His Salvation—His perfectness In me, And now I know; God's perfectness dwells in me. Many years have gone by since the Lord made this earth And many men are lost in death, with sin in their lives. But God offers Salvation to every living soul; They're made perfect tlirough the Lord; They're made perfect through the Lord. I see God's perfectness on the Billowy sea, His perfectness is shown by the many kinds of tree, I see his perfectness in a field of wheat; and now I know; God's perfectness dwells in me! by: Mary Hince

We gather together to ask the Lord's blessing, He chastens and hastens His will to make known; The wicked oppressing now cease from distressing: Sing Praises to His name—He forgets not his own. Beside us to guide us, our God with us joining, Ordaining, maintaining His kingdom divine; So from the beginning the fight we were winning: Thou, Lord, was at our side-all glory be Thine
72
Enter His gates with thanksgiving, and his courts with praise! Give thanks to him, bless His name!

*3pf There is a quiet place far from the rapid pace Where God can soothe my troubled mind. Sheltered by tree and flower There in my quiet hour with Him my cares are left behind. Whether a garden small or on a mountain tall New strength and courage there I find; Then from this quiet place I go prepared to face a new day With love for all mankind.

O sing to the Lord a new song; Sing to the Lord, all the earth; Sing to the Lord, bless his name. Tell of his Salvation from day to day. Choir had a super tour! The salvation message did get out and we had the privelege of seeing many people come to Christ. The traveling was hectic— with the all-nighters, and all . . . But the unity of Christ binded us all with PATIENCE and LOVE. It was a great experience!

So send I you to labor unrewarded To serve unpaid, unlove, unsought, unknown To bear rebuke, to suffer scorn and scoffing So send I you to toil for me alone So send I you to leave your life's ambition To die to dear desire, self-will resign To labor long, and love where men revile yoi So send I you to lose your life in mine

Lord ... To my heart bring back the Springtime
OPEN MY EYES Open my eyes, that I may see
This one and that one needing Thee; Hearts that are dumb, unsatisfied. Lives that are dark for whom Christ died, Open my eyes in sympathy Clear into man’s deep soul to see; Wise with Thy Wisdom to discern, And with Thy heart of love to y'earn. Open my eyes in power, I pray, Give me strength to speak today, Someone to bring, dear Lord, to Thee; Use me, O Lord, use even me. - -Betty Scott Stam

Spring brought a new kind of weekend ministry. After class on Friday, we packed into buses that jostled us to churches near and far. We gave concerts, shared our faith door to door, taught Sunday School, and even broke bricks to the glory of God. We soon got fat on sack lunches and learned what to do when the buses broke down for hours. Our rough and ready men learned how to make themselves at home on church pews for the night and wake up in the morning thoroughly refreshed and smelling . . . . great? More than all this, weekends were special times of meeting new brothers and sisters, reminiscing and praying with the WOLBI gang, and seeing people find new life in our Lord Jesus Christ.

WORD OF LIFE believes in nothing less than healthy, active bodies for the service of Jesus Christ, So on tills order, each student was kept very busy with a busy athletic schedule. The Aerobics program was the highlight of the WOLBI year. Each student was required to run at least a mile, four times a week, for an "A" grade. This was to try to keep us all slim and trim after eating all the good food prepared for us. Physical Education met once a week, with various activities to participate in being provided. Basketball, Soccer, Hiking, Softball, Volleyball, and Dodgeball were great fun, to relax and get one's mind off of their usual activity: study. All included, the Sports program kept us all involved and alert. Praising God for healthy bodies was one way of obeying His word.

Spring Bible Conference was a week of unexcelled teaching from the Word of God. The theme for this year was Science and the Scriptures. As we learned about the gaps the Evolutionary Theory holds, we were also reassured as to the complete accuracy of Scripture. It takes more faith to believe the unrealistic "mu tations", than it does to believe that God could create the uni verse, just as the Bible says He did. Many visitors, and alumni received a great blessing from these meetings also. As each one of us applied God’s truth to our hearts, and lives, we were renewed in the love and peace of Jesus Christ.

Work assignments made for exciting times. Everybody spent 4-8 hours a week working for the school. We graded papers, took the night watch, shoveled snow, waitressed meals, drove vans, cleaned bathrooms, and yes, even the dish pit had to be staffed. These were the experiences
that prepared us for our future in God*s work. We learned to smile when the office needed 1500 pages xeroxed or when you bumped into the visiting lecturer and dropped three platters of spaghetti. They were times of learning to obey and serve as unto our precious LORD.

Needless Ending of a Day Before the east filled up with gold And the darkness passed away, The earth began its day. The earth began its day As secretly, the dew fell To wash the silhouettes anew. The silhouettes were washed anew And there appeared a fresh earth. To slip into the west. To slip into the west taking away the day, Passing unnoticed the beauty of it all.

Yesterday . . • Today and Tomorrow!
. . .
Helen Steiner Rice
Yesterday's dead, Tomorrow's unborn, so there's nothing to fear and nothing to mourn, For all tha is past and all that has been can never return to be lived once again--and what lies ahead or the things that will be are still in GOD'S HANDS. So it is not up to me to live in the future that is God's great unknown, For the past and the present God claims for His own, So all I need do is to live for TODAY and trust God to show me THE TRUTH and THE WAY—For it's only the memory of things that have been and expecting tomorrow to bring trouble again that fills my today which God wants to bless, with uncertain fears and borrowed distress—For all I need live for is this one
little minute, for life's HERE and NOW and ETERNITY'S IN it.
