[Continued from page 63] with the Central American Mission. Another of our graduates is with the American Bible Society at Panama, Canal Zone. India: A few former students are with the Mennon- ite Mission in India, and others have served with various groups. Several years ago twin grandsons of the late W . A . Hillis came to the Institute for training. One was led to China under the China Inland Mission, and the other has recently arrived in India, to take up work under the Scandinavian Alliance Mission. Korea: The Presbyterians have carried on a work for God in Korea through which, by the Spirit of God, many lives have been turned to righteousness. Biola is represented in this ministry through our graduates. Europe: T w o of our graduates are working among Jews in Warsaw, Poland, under the American-Euro- pean Fellowship. One young woman graduate origi nally went to Belgium under the Belgian Gospel M is sion. She is today the wife of a minister in Switzerland. Siam: In Siam our former students are with the Christian and Missionary Alliance and with the Pres byterian Board of Foreign Missions. South America: The Orinoco River Mission, the Bolivian Indian Mission, the Scandinavian Alliance, the Brethren missionary society, Baptist work, and other groups are represented in Venezuela, Brazil, Peru, Argentina, Eucador, Chile, and Bolivia. Looking Back to Biola Miss White communicates with the majority of the Institute’s graduates in foreign lands, and her corre spondence from “ the ends of the earth” reveals the depth of affectionate regard that these missionary pioneers have for the school and its faculty. Looking Out on the Fields Primarily, of course, it is the students’ deepening fellowship with the Lord Jesus Christ and their study of G od ’s W ord in its world-wide missionary emphasis-' that impel them in their days at Biola to heed their
Lord’s “ Go ye.” But there must be also information concerning the need in remote and unevangelized lands. For three years the students are enrolled for “ M is sions Hour,” a period each week at which missionaries from many fields describe spiritual needs and tell of the grace o f God as manifested in “ the regions beyond.” Still other missionary leaders, guests at the Institute, address the student group in morning and evening devo tions from time to time, bringing practical spiritual lessons for their hearers. A t the Student Missionary Union meetings each Thursday night, a . missionary speaker’s message is followed by a time of intercessory prayer as the students, dividing themselves according to various fields, adjourn to different classrooms to pray, about definite needs of Biola graduates in foreign lands. Many a young person who has attended these meetings merely to receive information or to pray for others has ended by crying out to the Lord, “ Here am I ; send me.” T o equip these missionary volunteers, the Missionary Course at Biola supplements the basic courses given in Bible, Christian education, and church history by offering a study of non-Christian religions, missionary principles and practices, phonetics, and prac tical medical methods. Remembering that the call to the foreign field— as to service in the homeland also—4s the work of the Holy Spirit and not of man, the Bible Institute of Los Angeles seeks only to surround its young people with the right spiritual conditions. Then, “ compelled by love”— the constraining love of Christ— these young men and young women behold lands ignorant of Christ. They hear G od ’s question, “ H ow shall they hear with out a preacher?” (Rom . 10 :14 ). And as they go forth in answer to His call, “ how beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!” [A limited number of copies of pages 63 to 66 of this issue will be available for persons subscribing to T he K ing ’ s B usi ness at $1.50, in U. £.]
