The Fall Term Opens.
The Opening Week. The fall term was opened with a week of special lectures. There were twelve Strang, fearless men, who presented themes of vital interest in a forceful way. It was a time of real blessing, and prophetic of the best year of Insti- tute work. At this writing the prospect for large classes is better than ever before. We are glad to record that a number of high school scholars have arranged to attend the classes. New students are coming from distant places and slowly but surely, the foundations are being laid for a great Bible school. The Work and Workers. The Evangelistic Band of the Fisher- men's Club has held successful tent meetings in Elsinore, Perris, Winchester and Nemit. The warm weather did not dampen the ardor of the young evange- lists. The reports of the work have justified our expectations. God wonder- fully used their testimony. Many have confessed the Lord, saints have been edified and the churches strengthened. The work was of special value to the young people. The work in the shops, among the Jews and on the aqueduct continued un- interruptedly during the summer. There was some decrease in attendance at meetings, but also some blessed results. Work has commenced with renewed in- terest in all departments.
Messrs. Sloan and Lowe, after a cam- paign in the South, and a needed rest, have started upon a trip to the North- ern fields. They held meetings among the men on the aqueduct on their way, and tarried for a week at Mojave. We commend these brethren for special prayer. They will be separated for a long time from home and loved ones, and will be engaged in a most difficult though blessed work. Mr. J. B. Pratt, our beloved evangel- ist ,has been ministering in the Insti- tute and conference meetings, and is now in the evangelistic field again. He will be accompanied by Mr. Paul Brown and his wife, who will have charge of the music and personal work. This is a happy combination, and will surely be attended with the seal of the Spirit. Sunnylaw Manse, Bridge of Allan, Scotland, August 17, 1910. My Dear Dr. Horton: Now that I am at home it has been on my mind to write you to say how much I enjoyed my visit to your Insti- tute at Los Angeles with Tom Hannay. I was very, very glad to be present at the monthly meeting and to hear the reports of the good work done. May I also say how much I enjoyed being at the communion with you—it was so unexpected, so simple, so natural, so like what might have happened in the church of the upper chamber. I do not think that I shall soon forget that. You have my good wishes for success in your work; the Lord bless you and all the workers in connection with the Institute. My visit to America has been a great refreshment to me both in body, mind and soul. With all kindest regards to you and fraternal good wishes, I remain, Yours very sincerely, JOHN CAMPBELL.
