Blest be the tie that binds Our hearts in Christian love; The fellowship of kindred minds Is like to that above. 2. Before our Father’s throne We pour our ardent prayers; Our fears, our hopes, our aims, are one, Our comforts and our cares. 3. We share our mutual woes, Our mutual burdens bear, And often for each other flows The sympathizing tear. 4. When we are called to part, It gives us inward pain; But we shall still be joined in heart And hope to meet again. 5. This glorious hope revives Our courage by the way; While each in expectation lives And waits to see the day. 6. From sorrow, toil and pain And sin, we shall be free; And perfect love and friendship reign Through all eternity. [ Heading 6a ] A BIT ABOUT ONTARIO BIBLE COLLEGE AND ONTARIO THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY OBC and OTS are evangelical in theology and interdenominational in character. Our curriculums are Bible-centred. Each year, about 30 different Protestant denominations are represented in the student bodies of these schools. We present a Christian view of life amid the confusing ideologies of our times. OBC and OTS serve as the training arms for a wide variety of evangelical churches. Christian service in local churches and church- related ministries is a vital part of the College experience. OBC offers Bachelor’s degrees in Theology, Religious Education and Sacred Music. Vocational majors include Pastoral Studies, Missions, Christian Education, Christian Education/Secretarial, Christian Education/Camping, Applied Music, Church Music/Christian Education, Pre-University and Pre-Seminary studies. There is also a 3 Year Diploma in Bible, a 1 year Certificate in Bible and a 1 year Certificate in Church Music. OTS offers a Master of Divinity degree, Master of Theological Studies and a 1 year Certificate in Biblical Studies. The major emphasis is on training for pastoral and missionary work with special interest in urban Christian ministries. OBC and OTS are at the forefront in meeting many specific needs in church- related vocational training. OBC is accredited by the American Association of Bible Colleges. Our College and Seminary are subsidized through the gracious giving of hundreds of Christian friends. For 1981-1982, we are trusting God to provide approximately $1600.00 in gift contributions for every one of the 550 students on our campus this year (total $887,500). Student fees cover slightly more than 60% of our costs, with the remainder contributed by our faithful and valued supporters. [Page Six] OBC has a large Evening School Division. Classes are held in Hamilton and Burlington as well as on the main campus in Willowdale. OTS has a growing Continuing Education Division. Classes are held on Monday afternoons and evenings. Also special “Inter-Sessions” and “Summer Sessions” in January and June, respectively, provide further opportunities for intensive studies. Our graduates circle the globe — 567 in full-time missionary activities; 562 in pastoral work ( + 324 pastors’ wives); 389 in church-related ministries; and 1236 as Christians in various professions and businesses, including doctors, nurses, teachers, social workers, etc. [ Heading 7 ] COLLEGE PERSONNEL [ Heading 7a.1 ] Executive Officers — Board of Governors Robert McClintock . . .
