It gives us special pleasure to announce that the splendid chime of eleven bells, which will grace one of the towers of the Bible Institute of Los Angeles, is now here and the work of mounting the bells will be well under way before
Chimes for Bible In«rihite
this information reaches the readers of T he K ing ' s B usiness . The following paragraph appeared in one of the New York City newspapers a few days ago: “Eleven big bells were shipped by the Meneely Bell Company of this city, yesterday, to the new million dollar Bible Institute at Los Angeles, Cali fornia. Shipment was made via the all-water route, and this chime is the first set of bells to pass through the Panama Canal and the largest in any building on the Pacific Coast.

But the heart of the man who believes in God, and in the Bible, need not faint for one single moment. Instead, as the days grow darker his heart may become calmer and more expectant, for it is just “when men’s hearts are failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth,” that we should look up and lift up our heads, for our redemption draweth nigh (Luke 21:26-28). We are glad in these days that we are not Post-Millennialists, who dream that the Millennium is coming in by the operation of the forces now at work.
