First Covenant College Graduates

The Board of Directors of Coven­

ant College has just released a list of new faculty appointments for the Theological Seminary which should

cause every friend of Covenant College to rejoice. It is evidence of

the special blessing of the Lord

upon the school. The most impor­tant thing about any educational institution is its faculty. W ith the

addition of the new members to the Covenant Seminary faculty we

believe that we shall have a theo­logical seminary which is second

to none in the United States.Dr. R. Laird Harris, outstanding

scholar and author, formerly with

Faith Theological Seminary, is com­

ing to head the department of Old Testament studies. Dr. Harris has

distinguished himself as the author of a number of books, having

recently won the Zondervan text­

book contest for his latest book on Biblical introduction.

The Rev. John Sanderson, also

from the faculty of Faith Theolog­

ical Seminary, will head the depart­ment of Apologetics and Christian Philosophy. Mr. Sanderson has a

wide reputation as a pedagogue of unusual abilities. He has had a number of pastorates and brings a wealth of personal experience to his teaching ministry. He is soon to complete work on his doctoral

dissertation at the University of Pennsylvania.

Graduation activities for the

first graduating class of Covenant

College began on Sunday, May 27, with the Baccalaureate Service in Pasadena City Church, and were

concluded with Commencement ex­

ercises on Friday, June 1, also in the Pasadena City Church.

Members of this first senior class are Mr. Ernest B. Tyler, philosophy

major from Farmington, Mich., Mr.

Clifford Hodges Brewton, music major from Savannah, Ga., and Mr. Walter C. Loitz, history major from

Anaheim, Calif. Testimonies of these three young men appeared in an earlier issue of The Bagpipe.

Rev. D. V. Johnstone, pastor of

the Pasadena City Church, was the speaker for the Baccalaureate

service. He chose as his sermon topic “Called to Leadership.” This

was taken from Joshua 1:1-9. He brought out five points: God’s selec­

tion, God’s own program, God’s promise to His servant, God’s re­quirement of Joshua, and God’s

promise of success. Finally he

charged the members of the gradu­ating class to remember these five things, to be strong and courageous,

and to know that “I will not leave thee, nor forsake thee . . ." (continued on page 3, column 1)

Full-time Students Give Testimonies

To Lord’s Guidance During the YearIn this final issue of The Bagpipe

for the school year of 1955-56, are pictures and testimonies of three

full-time students who have not yet been featured in the paper.

Allen Duble did not enroll at Covenant until the second semester

when he and his wife Jo Ann and young son Eric arrived in California for Allen to continue his education.

Allen and his wife are active in school life

a n d i n young peo­

ple’s work

at the La

C r e s centa church. The

Dubles live in Pasadena.

"The year o f 19 4 8 means most

in my life, for it was during that

year that I accepted Christ as my personal Saviour. I remember it

vividly, and I wouldn’t trade that wonderful experience with Christ

for all the experiences I might have during my life. Oh, how wonderful!

I had settled the problem and now had eternal life. Proverbs 3:5-6

became my life verses. ‘Trust in the Lord with all thine heart and

lean not unto thine own understand­ing, in all thy ways acknowledge

him and he shall direct thy paths.’

Since that time the Lord has given me a wife and a fine son and has directed our paths back to Calif­

ornia and Covenant College. He has guided us in a wonderful way, and

when the going seems roush, we are reminded of I Thess. 5:24. ‘Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will

do it.’ Because He has called us,

we are sure that He will make our

continued education possible as we walk with him day by day.”

Emma Scott, a junior English major from Collingswood, N.J., is secretary of the student executive

committee and works part-time in the college office as Dr. Rayburn’s secretary.

“My testimony is of praise to

the Lord for His faithfulness. ‘His

compassions fail not, they are new every morning: great is thy faithful­

ness!’ How manv times these words of Jeremiah h a v e ex­

pressed my feelings as t he L o r d has proved

t i m e a n d time again,

His faithful­

ness to me. His faithful- n e s s h a s

been shown by His continued answer to my prayers. One of my greatest blessings this year has

been that of praying for a definite thing and then receiving a definite

answer. The Lord has been faithful in leading me day by day and in

supplying my needs both spiritual

and material. It is a great joy to me to know that the Lord can never fail

and that He will continue to be faithful in everything. But many

times the Lord’s faithfulness has pointed out my unfaithfulness. It is

the deep prayer of my heart that

I shall be more faithful to Him by keeping His commandments, by trusting in Him for all things, and

by being a faithful witness of His love and salvation, so that when I

see H im face to face, I shall hear

Him say, ‘Well done thou good and

faithful servant.’ ”

Janet Denner of Pasadena, Calif­ornia, is a junior music major. An

accomplished musician, Janet plays

for the chapel services and for special school events. Both the

piano and the violin

are among Janet’s ac- compl i s h -

ments, and

she was fea­

tured in a recital o n

May 19 in Pasadena.

“ 'Know

thou the God of thy father, and serve him with a perfect heart and

with a willing mind; for the Lord

searcheth all hearts, and under-

standeth all the imagination of the thoughts: if thou seek him, he will

be found of thee; but if thou for­sake him, he will cast thee off for­

ever.’ I Chron. 28:9. I have known the Lord as my Redeemer for al­most ten years and can truly testify

to His saving grace and preserving power. It is my prayer that my heart

may be always fixed on the things

of God and that I may be more con­formed to the image of Christ. Since I am pleased with the way my

Savior is leading me, I can trust Him to guide me day by day and

step by step. ‘For it is God which

worketh in (me) both to will and to do of his good pleasure.’ Phil. 2:13”

M r. Brewton Presents

of La Crescenta, its pastor, and its members, have been of great impor­

tance this first year. In this church

students and faculty have wor­

shiped each Sunday and have found support and friendliness. Several of the Covenant College family have

had Sunday School classes in the church, and the college choir has

sung in the services. Rev. Walter E. Lyons and his family, Mr. and Mrs.

Ralph Lewis, and many others deserve special recognition.
