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
