as well as recreation for the body through the Biola Bible Conference, which is for all ages. Speakers include members of the faculty and visiting pastors. A Bible conference for young people of high school and college age is held annually during one week in Ju ly at Hume Lake, located in the heart of the high Sierras in central California, and surrounded by mountain peaks which tower ten to twelve thousand feet. This beautiful spot, in the midst of a stately forest of pine and redwood trees, provides an ideal place where young people may go to receive inspiration, in struction in the Word of God, and wonderful fellowship with others of like mind. The conference is held under the auspices of the faculty of the Bible Institute of Los Angeles. It provides an excellent opportunity for incoming students to the vBible College to meet, personally, faculty members and student leaders. These contacts have proved to be very advantageous to all such students. In addition to these The Bible Institute o f . Los Angeles, Incorporated, offers the services of the Extension Department to hold conferencs in various churches and city wide meetings. Members of the Faculty constitute the speakers in these gatherings. EXTENSION AND RADIO An ever increasing ministry of The Bible Institute of Los Angeles, Incorporated, is its Extension Department. Perhaps the largest arm of the Extension Division is that of the Radio Ministry. Under the able leadership of Dr. Louis T. Talbot, the Radio Ministry has become known far and wide, both in Southern California and along the Pacific Coast. At the present time Dr. Talbot conducts daily a widely heard verse-by- verse Bible teaching radio program. Over one of the large networks a Biola Gospel program is heard three times weekly. This broadcast reaches listeners in the five Western States and in Western Canada. Local conferences in churches are also promoted, both evangelistic and Bible- instructional in nature. Each summer a number of Biola students form teams and tour various sections of the country. These teams are available for meetings in many sections. Another Extension ministry is the printed page. The King’s Business, a monthly magazine, is the official publication of the Bible Institute of Los Angeles which reaches many thousands of earnest readers. The Department promotes the printing and distribu tion of other sound Christian literature, and by means of the radio a large amount of literature finds its way into the homes of interested people. STUDENT RADIO MINISTRY ACCENT ON YOUTH, a half-hour student-alumni broadcast organized August 23, 1947, may be heard over the local station, KXLA , 7:30 Saturday nights. Other stations carrying the program by transcription are located in Minneapolis, Minnesota; San Bernardino, California; Quito, Ecuador, South America; Manila, Philippine Island« The continuity of the program centers around some particular theme each week. Participating students are chosen from the Broadcasting class, the student body, and the alumni.
