ing to give up all and follow Him. GOD answered. I read the book “Pastor Hsi” (by Mrs. H. Taylor). My soul was stirred. A glorious change came over me. I was happy beyond expression; here,—China needed Christ, souls were dying and knew not the Saviour of the world; here—China was my field and I thanked Him. I continued in prayer—GOD answered by placing in my hands a copy of T he K ing ' s B usiness . I knew it to be His answer. The Bible Institute was my place of study. How I thank Him for that magazine that told me of the place where men and women longed to know GOD, and were being filled .with the “bread of heaven.” This has been my experience in the past year,—I have joined hands with those who are striving to spread the glorious business of our King throughout a sin-stained world.
Standard Teacher: Training Course of the International Sunday School Council. The Secretary of the Evening School, Rev. ;W. H. Pike, looks forward to a profitable year in his department. Day School Enrollment Good The Day School opened according to schedule, the second week of September, with registrations September 10 and 11, and the first classes Wednesday, September 12. The first student meeting of the new year was the monthly prayer service for faculty, students and Institute workers. The large enrollment was most encouraging and a high type of classroom work in all departments is assured. The student body is composed of young men and women of promise. It is significant and quite interesting to note that thirty-eight members of the Alumni Association have enrolled this year for post graduate work. This phase of the Day School work has been showing a steady growth. Our Evangelists Used of God The Bible Institute evangelists, Rev. Britton Ross and Rev. Leo Polman, director of music, completed a success ful series of meetings under the direction of the Second Brethren Church of Los Angeles September 30. They began work under the auspices of the Yakima Valley Lay men’s Evangelistic Union, October 7. Their engagement will extend over a period of nine months, and their min istry will cover the greater part of that section of the State of Washington. They will have splendid opportun ity for constructive evangelistic service. They are able leaders and enter this new field confident that the Lord will bless. 4—-o—*— Correspondence School Forges Ahead Our Correspondence School reports over 300 increase in enrollments over the same period last year. One hun dred seventy-six certificates indicating completion of courses have been issued since the first of the year. The total enrollment is now over eighteen hundred, and stu dents represent twenty-five different countries and all the States but three. Correspondence Department students come from fifty different denominations. When a band of soldiers, led by Judas, came to arrest Jesus, He said: “If therefore ye seek me, let these go their way!” As Isaiah says, “The chastisement lay upon him, that we might have peace.” The Good Shepherd lays down his life for the sbeep; His love seeketh not her own. “Death, devil, and hell, the judgment and wrath of God—all have sought Christ, and we go free,” says Rudolph Besser, “ for in Him we too have all suffered chastisement, and God does not chastise twice. Therefore, I possess an eternal consolation. Let these go their way! So runs my charter. Death and hell, ye must let me go free; for ye have sought Christ, and He has given Him self as a ransom for m e: the snare is broken, and we are delivered.” — o — a s “Let These Go Their Way”
“Therefore to Thee my feet shall run ; Mine eyes on Thy perfections gaze; My soul shall live for Thee alone; And all within me speak Thy praise ."

—°— Radio Activity of KTBI
TT would seem that from the children of tender years to the devout saints of ripe experience, the Bible insti tute Radio Station K. T. B. I. has much of interest and worth to offer to the listening public, if verbal comment and correspondence may be taken as an indication of what this branch of the Institute work means to thousands. Those enjoying health, as well as the shut-ins, find spir itual comfort and inspiration in the morning Devotional Services conducted by Rev. Albert E. Kelly each day, Monday to Friday, at 8:30 A. M. In response to a number of requests Mr. Kelly is now conducting a special hour for the shut-in friends each Monday morning at 10 o’clock. Rev. Alan S. Pearce, T9, Secretary of the Correspondence School, is offering a Radio Course, “Through My Bible Two Chapters A Day.” A number have enrolled for this study and hun dreds more are making this half hour at 9:15 each morn ing a part of the daily program. The same may be said in regard to the broadcasting of the regular 10:45 morn ing classes of the Day School and to the studio broadcasts under the direction of other faculty members in the morn ing and afternoon hours. Through K. T. B. I. the Institute is cooperating with the local evangelical churches in having an average of nine pastors broadcast from the studio each week and in the use that is made of their soloists, choirs and orchestras on day and evening hours.

The attendance in the dining-room and at this opening service was the largest in the twelve years of the history of the Evening School.
