* - Dedication -
To Brother Roger W. Peterson we dedicate the 1955-1956 edition of the Northern Lights. Brother Peterson was born on a farm ten miles from Radville on April 28, 1927. He attended Bible school at Radville Christian College for three years and was the only student who completed the course that was then offered. Bro. Peterson has been on the staff at R.C.C. for five years. During that time he has taught Bible, Science, Chorus, and Commercial courses. He has been a fine example to every student and has become a part of each one. His ability to enjoy activities around the school has made him a favorite of many students. From the time that Bro. Peterson came to R.C.C. he has been the school's photographer for the year- book. He has devoted many long hours in the Print Shop on the Northern Lights. This year he has worked industriously to make the '55- '56 yearbook a success. Bro. Peterson and his wife, Helen Marie, plan to attend Abiiene Christian College this fall to further their educations. What I Have Gained From Radville Christian College
Most of the zeal which I had when I was baptized had slowly O U R drained from me by the time I first heard of Radville Christian College. I had lost my interest in the church work because I had not been growing in spiritual things. Therefore, I thought of R.C.C. not as a place to develop in my spiritual life but as EDITOR just another adventure. Leaving home was not the most pleasant thing which ever happened to me but having my complete family with me made it easier to go 1,600 miles to a new home and country. Neither was R.C.C. the best looking place where we had ever lived but we were content to stay and do our best.
The first year that I attended R.C,C. was my trial year. Was I going to gain the most from t he teachings which R.C.C. offered or was I going to refute them ?

This year at Radville Christian College seems to have flown by and you perhaps look back and long to relive the pleasant days· spent here. Yet you view the future with eagerness, too. You graduates have lofty ambitions and dreams for the future. We trust that you will be zealous workers in the Lord's vineyard and will put your service to God before everything else. "When a man's ways please Jehovah, he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him." Proverbs 16:7. You younger students should take advantage of the opportunities offered to you at R.C.C. By doing this you, too, will be better prepared to live the happy life. We have appreciated having all of you at R.C.C.; if one of you had not been here R.C.C. would have lacked what you had to give us. Our prayers go with you as you depart. "Jehovah will be thy confidence, and will keep t.hy foot from being taken." Proverbs 3:26. SHIRLEY LEWIS. ------*------Faculty And Staff
God's Handiwork
"In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth and all that in them is." He created the trees and the flowers which grow about us. He created the birds of the heavens, and all manner of four-footed beasts, and creeping things of the earth. Most important of all He created man in His own image, to rule the earth and the things thereon. What do we think of when we see the beauty of the trees, spreading their leafy bows skyward, or the flowers all in bloom? What do we think of the newly sprung grass in the fields, and the fresh, clean, fragrant perfume of early spring? Do we just pass these things with little or no thought of them, or do we realize the magnificence and the power of God in creating the world in such a way. We should remember that God,created all things for us. Therefore we should be truly thankful for. His goodness, and praise His name for doing these many mighty works. JANICE MOONEY. MISS L. M.

MISS G. GIBSON MR. L. ANDERSON Typing, Home Economics, French, Supervisor of Boys Mathematics, Social Studies To The Graduates Of 1956:
The more privileged people have greater responsibilities. You, the graduates of 1956, are privileged because you have MRS. L. ANDERSON had the opportunity of daily worship services, daily Bible study, Kitchen and Dining Hall 3uper- companionship of Christian young people, thoughtful care by visor, Practical Home Economics Christian supervisors and lessons by Christian teachers. Because of these many privileges, that most high school graduates do not have, you will have greater duties and responsibilities. It will be your duty to live so that your "nameless, un- remembered acts of kindness and of love" will gladden the hearts of your neighbours. In trustwworthiness, industry, unselfishness and integrity it will be your duty to set shining examples. Your faithfulness in doing God's work should inspire others to a more concentrated study of His holy word. May you be aware of your privileges and be glad of your responsibilities.

ROGER PETERSON. A path is appreciated most by the first who trod it down. The Need Is Great
It is hard to say good-bye, but here it is. Radville Christian College has meant a great deal to me for quite a few years now. In the future it will continue to be an inspiration. Those of us who leave . carry with us a responsibility to continue to help this school carry on its tremendous task. At present not enough of our brethren in this area realize that our need is as great as any missionary venture. Because of this lack of vision, R.C.C. struggles for its very existence. We limp along with inadequate facilities. If only more of us would not be so blind to the part we should play in helping this school do its job, then the few on the spot would be able to do more. What is needed here ? Just about everything. Remember every little penny helps. Will you resolve this very day not to let our young people down and provide the tools to do the job? MISS G. GIBSON. ------* ------Being Successful Student Government Most of us have one common goal in mind when we attend Radville Christian College, and that is to make ourselves successful men and women. We need to realize though that being successful does not necessarily mean we will some day accumulate a fortune. I believe we can be poor in this world's goods and yet be successful. Let us remember that a beautiful watch is useless unless it will keep correct time. Just so we are useless, both to ourselves and to society, if in gathering a fortune around us we become miserly and egotistical. Let me suggest that Radville Christian College will create new interests for us, interests that will help us become successful in the work God has for us. God is interested in us as individuals. Grow into the individual you are capable of becoming, not the person you have become, and you will be successful.

"Let No Man Despise Thy Youth" (1 Tim. 4:12)
We, as young people, often feel that because we are young we cannot do as much for the Lord as the older and more experienced members of the church. Still, according to the scriptures, we can do as much if not more than our older brethren. In II Cor. 4:7 we read that the Lord's work is in earthen vessels in order that the glory be given to God rather _1956 Graduates than to man. When we have fewer capabilities than others it is easier to give the credit to God because we realize that without God's help we could do nothing. With God's help we can do all. When we think of something that is worthwhile we must never hesitate to do it for fear of failure or persecution. The Lord will be with us to help and if we have the faith that we should have we will put our trust in His power and forget our own weakness in age and ability. The best way to become older in the Lord is to do His work. To me this is one of the most wonderful things about being a young person in the Lord. Each day our older brethren decrease in body and grow in spirit but each day we can grow in body as well as in spirit. So let us always keep before us, as we strive to do something for the Lord, the verse that Paul wrote to Timothy: "Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an ensample to them that believe, in word, in manner of life, in love, in faith, in purity." May we, as young people, do as much as we can as well as we can, as soon as we can. ROY DAVISON.

The person who has a reputation for always being truthful and honorable will get ahead in life. He Wlll . be the one who is chosen for that important job or position. You do not have to be wealthy, have a degree or be president of the country to have a good name. A worthwhile person pays his debts, is dependable and honest. He abides within the laws of his country, community and the group in which he lives. Knowing he will do these things to the best of his ability, people will have complete confidence in him and allow him to do a task. A good name cannot be bought with money or any of earth's perishable treasures. We read in Proverbs 22:1, "A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches". Because our life in eternity will depend on our decisions, on earth, we must be careful to choose that which has a real, lasting value. If we have had a good name here on earth and an acceptable one before God, that name will be written in the "Lamb's Book of Life". MAUREEN J OHNSON. ------* ------Grade Eleven The Beauty Of Christ In our youth, when reading books of valour and heroism, we like to think of our hero as being good to look upon. I am afraid this is the way we want to look at Christ and we feel a little depressed when reading scriptures like Isaiah 53, "He hath no form or comeliness, and when we see him there is no beauty that we should desire him". We should realize that t rue beauty is a thing of character. "Man looketh on the outward appearance, but God looketh on the heart." Though Jesus was not handsome yet He had great beauty. Let us read in the gospels about His beauty, how He healed, sympathized, and rejoiced with those about Him. Especially we see His beauty in the love that He showed for us, in dying on the cross at the hands of lawless men and as He prayed "Father, forgive them". Yes, we have a beautiful Master and if we follow that Master close enough, then we will gain a measure of the beauty that He had. BOB LEWIS.

Neglecting The Assembly Many people do not realize fully why it is so harmful to miss a worship service of the Lord. They do not realize the great importance of attending every meeting. This tends to make them put forth only a half-hearted attempt to attend. We read in John 20 the account of what happened to Thomas when he forsook a Lord's Day meeting during the resurrection week. He missed seeing and associating with the risen Christ. Missing an opportunity to confirm his faith made him stubborn and rebeliious. He would not believe that Jesus had risen from the dead. Too often Christians are like Thomas. They walk by sight not by f aith. In attending every m eeting we not only gain strength for ourselves but for the others of the congrega- tion hy associating with them. Others who are not in the church may be encouraged by our faithfulness. It is so much wiser not to enjoy the worldly things of life that take us away from God's people and God's work. I Cor. 15 :58 says: "Be ye stead- fast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord." LARRY HOFF. Grade Ten Sportsmanship Why is it that people do not exercise good sportsmanship? Why do some people always make it a "must" to play unfair in a game? One reason to me appears to be that they know they are not capable of "Getting their name in the paper" without using unfair methods of overthrowing their opponent. Hence they take the unfair advantage of the other players. It could be because of someone in the audience to whom they are trying to prove their superiority. Most poor sports are not better than the other players, but they have to be better in something so they try unfair methods. If a team plays unfairly and win the game, it really has not won. There is nothing wrong with hard, aggressive playing but when we attempt something unfair we should not be allowed to play in the game . JJust beca use someone treats us unfairly in a game does not mean we have to be like that person. The best and only way is to play clean, play hard, and refrain from speaking. It is not up to us to punish the player who offends. The referee of a game is there for that purpose. It is up to us to play fairly at all times. DARYL TUCKER.

More Than Life What is, or what could be, more important and more precious to you than all your possessions, or life itself? We spend every day of our lives in a great struggle, striving toward some goal. People everywhere struggle, day after day, year after year, in their work or business to make a living or to make more and more money. Our parents struggle to provide a home and to make ample provisions for the family. But suppose we gain all this: a prosperous business, a home well provided for, a good name in our community, money enough to spare, and with it all, health. What then? Are we satisfied? FRANK CRONE Have we done great things? All these accomplishments do not guarantee happiness. Something is lacking. Christ was thinking Box 252, Radville, Saskatchewan of this lack when he said, "A man's life consisteth not in the Attended for part of the year. abundance of the things which he possesseth," in Luke 12:1 5. "Seest thou a man diligent in his business." All these temporal things are important, yes, but they should be only secondary or incidental to the highest goal of all humanity, Eternal Life, beyond this world. MARILYN HA NAN. Honesty In Our School Life When we were small children, most of our parents taught us to be honest. We may have had a hard time at first in training ourselves to be honest, but as the years went by we gradually learned that it was better to be honest than have something eating at our conscience night and day. Now that we are nearly grown up and in high school, we must keep the habit of being honest. We may see something of someone else's that we would like to have very much and take that certain thing and keep it as our own. We think no one has seen us. But God in heaven sees every move we make. A record is kept of the things we do, whether they be good or bad, and we will be judged according to our works at the judgment bar of God. It was said of Christ that he had no sin. Let us try to keep our page white and pure as He did. WILLENE DUNN. ---*---- Faith And Prayer Grade Dine Faith and prayer are necessary for every Christian, including the young Christians here at Radville Christian College. Little troubles and angry spells may arise among us, but, if we pray and have faith that God will answer our prayers in His way, (which is the best way) these troubles will be over- come more easily. Of course, we cannot just pray and have faith God will answer our prayer, then just sit back and wait until He does. No, we must get out and work for Him before He will reward us with material gain or life to come. If we Jearn to pray and have faith along with our working for Him to overcome small obstacles in school life it will be easier for us to stand against the sin of the world. Someone has said, "More things are wrought by prayer than this world dreams of." Let us pray and have faith and support our faith and prayer with works and God will be our guide throughout all the days of our life. MARGARET ANDERSON.

The more we brood, the worse we feel and the worse we feel the longer our face, so why grumble? HAROLD DUNN. Value Of A Good Conscience A definition given for conscience is "That faculty within us which decides as to the moral quality of our thoughts, words, and acts. It gives consciousness of the good of one's conduct or motives or causes feelings of remorse at evil doing. A conscience can be educated or trained to recognize good and evil, but its action is involuntary". Our conscience may be good, but this is not a sign that our thoughts, words, and actions are good. It is easy to gather from the above definition, that our conscience will not do us much good if we do not give it the proper training. We should learn what is good and what is evil, and at the same time have a desire to do only that which is good. Our conscience is not our best guide, but will be of great value to us if it is properly trained. If we think before we act, consider what we are about to do, and what the result will be. our conscience will either justify or condemn the act. Let us train our conscience by a study of that which is good and then avoid the things which are against that good conscience. ALEX MULLER. ------* ------Bible Department Family Worship The most perfect ending to a day is when the family meets together to read from God's Holy Word and gather together around God's Throne of Grace in prayer. This time of worship, although it may be very short, can serve two principal purposes. First, it brings the family closer together. It makes the members of the family feel that they have something in common and it also brings peace to the heart after the trials of everyday life. Although this first fact is of great importance, probably even more important is the fact that it also brings us closer to God. Oftentimes we forget about Him in the little daily worries and it takes this quiet time with our families to remind us that God is ever near and ready to help us in time of need. It also brings us into a more intimate knowledge of God's will and teaches us to do more of what is right. Let us strive, if it is not already a habit in our home, to have a family worship each day.

On February 11th we entertained the R.C.C. staff and students at a Valentine party. Much preparation was required but with the full co-operation of each one we enjoyed it all. We engaged in many other outdoor activities including games, trips and outdoor fun. We would like to encourage other young people to take RUTHANNE WILLIAMS advantage of the opportunity we have had to study God's Word.

Remember Thy Creator "Remember also thy creator in the days of thy youth, before the evil days come and the years draw nigh, when thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them." (Ecclesiastes 12:1.) It is hard to express in words how much these words should mean to us. It is while we are young that we need to train ourselves in the way that God would have us go. If we serve God faithfully while we are young, we will have no trouble serving Him in later years. We will also have a greater influence on people of the world. Remember thy Creator in the days of thy youth. We need to remember our Creator, and the many things. He has done for us. This privilege has been given to us when we are allowed' to attend R.C.C. We should take advantage of the great opportunities we have here for remembering our Creator. We have the privilege of being under the influence of Christian teaching; we have the privilege of living and fellowshipping with Christian people from day to day.

"Thy word is a lamp unto my feet and a this year though. light unto my pathway." CHAPEL BOB TALKS LEWIS Chapel Every morning, Monday through Friday, the bell rings at 8:45 to summon everyone to chapel service. This service takes place in the largest classroom. Each morning one of the boys has the opportunity to present a lesson from the Bible. On Friday morning news of happenings in the church in other places is read from the Christian Chronicle, a news publication from Abilene, l'exas. In addition to the lessons each morning, Scripture readings, prayer and the singing of hymns make up part of our chapel service. ----*--- Boys' Devotion AND JESUS INCREASED Each evening when the 10 o'clock bell rings, the boys retire to their separate dormitories where a short devotional period is held before going to bed. In Wisdom Devotion is conducted in the following manner: someone r eads a passage from the Bible; a number of hymns are sung; someone leads the group in prayer. The devotional periods help us to draw closer to our God and closer to each other. They also help to form a valuable habit which should be carried on throughout life. ----*--- Girls' Devotion The girls also have devotional services each night, conducted in much the same manner as boys' devotion. One of the girls r eads a selection from the Bible, several hymns are sung and devotion is closed with one of the girls lleading in prayer. The girls study a lesson each evening from a little book called "More Power For Today". They usually try to sing hymns which are in accordance with the lesson for the evening.

FRENCH JANICE CLASS MOONEY Capital Punishment Is capital punishment (the legal execution of a criminal by the state) justifiable? This question has been asked often. I would say, no, because executing criminals is just a carry- over method of dealing with criminals from the middle ages. In those days they did not have the corrective institutions that we have now. They did not have the facilities to change a criminal's outlook on life. As they could not change him they had to eliminate him from their society. This they did by executing him. Modern statistics prove that a far greater percentage of rich people escape the death penalty than do the poor (all crime oases being of the same seriousness). This is because the rich are able to hire eminent lawyers and also because they are able to bring pressure to bear to bring the case to higher courts. Then, too, there is always the possibility of the courts making a mistake. Case histories prove that many people have AND JESUS INCREASED been hanged and that later they were found to be innocent. Therefore, because capital punishment is out of date, because it discriminates between rich and poor, and because it is some- In Stature times misapplied, I believe that it is unjustifiable.

A new design has been drawn for the cover of the Trumpet this year. We think it is an improvement over the old one. At the beginning of the year the circulation managers mailed a free copy of the first edition to people in various places who were interested in the school, urging them to subscribe to the "Trumpet".
