evenings are enjoyed by great audiences of praying people. His enthusiasm for the Institute is contagious, and we are happy to have the backing of a great congregation of peo ple who love the Word of God.
complete forgiveness through the merits and righteousness of Christ alone ? Go to the sepulchre at Easter morn; be hold the surety of fallen man, on whom all the debts and sins of all men were laid, and who went into that rocky prison house voluntarily, having made Himself respon sible for all mortal deficiency; see Him as He comes forth in life and glory; and how can you doubt that the whole debt has been effectually canceled ? If He died on your ac- cOunt, that account must be settled, or He never could have thus triumphantly been made alive again. Look at the facts and reason it out as the Scriptures bid you, and you cannot fail to find in Easter day the full assurance that, as you believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, you are forever justified and free. And shall we see our Lord again? "We do not worship a dead Lord. He arose and ascended on high, and the tes timony of His two messengers was, “This same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.” In that holy sacrament given to us by our Lord, we are told to observe the Lord’s death “till he come.” There is coming a greater day than Easter—the day of the return of the Lord Jesus for His church. Perhaps before another Easter morn shall dawn upon the old world, all the saints will be with Him in His resurrection glory. Our God is not Dead r/TE are told that Martin Luther, during the dark days 'JU of the Reformation, found himself one evening great ly discouraged, and he showed it in his face and actions. When he awakened the next morning, his wife was up and dressed in deep mourning with a long crape veil hanging from her head to the floor. “What has happened?” asked Luther in great aston ishment. “God is dead,” cried the good wife. “Shame, shame, woman!” said Luther. “It is the height of irreverence to utter such words.” “Is it more irreverent, my dear,” said Mrs. Luther, “to say it than act it, as you were doing last night?” Why should a Christian ever act as if God is dead? These are times when Christians should be rejoicing in the ever-living God. He is as much interested in you as when He gave His Son to die for you. Have you lost your wealth ? You have not lost your part of the riches in glory. Have you lost your position? You have not lost your stand ing in grace. Have you lost your friends ? You have yet a Friend who “sticketh closer than a brother.” Have you lost your life in wasted years? You have eternal life through Jesus Christ the Son of God. Oh, friend, you are not half as bad off as you think you a re ! As a child of God, keep looking up; very soon you will come into your full inheritance. The Church of the Open Door We are pleased to tell our friends that the Bible Insti tute and the Church of the Open Door that worships regu larly in our building are working together in perfect har mony. The coming of Rev. Louis T. Talbot, with his strong preaching, his consistent living, and his enthusiastic pur pose to work in harmony with the Institute, was a re markable answer to prayer. Three record audiences greet him every Sunday in the auditorium that seats about four thousand people. His prayer meeting talks on Wednesday
About a Friend of Yours
[Hosts of friends all over the world have corresponded with Mr. Hunt. From time to time, they have asked, “Who is Mr. Huht? What does he look like?” Natural questions these; hence this pho tographic likeness of Mr. Hunt and brief sketch of his ii/e.BEDiTOR.]
M r . H . C. H u n t Dean of Biola’s Field Representatives
r . H . C. H un t is dean of the field representatives of Bible Institute of Los Angeles, having been identi fied with this important arm of service since October, 1920. He was born in London, England. His father and brother were barristers, both of whom were in the ser vice of the British Government for more than forty years. At the early age of fourteen, he moved to Canada where, for fifteen years in the French country hear Montreal, he followed the occupation of farmer. Later, he pursued the same occupation in Belleville, Ontario, and subsequently affiliated himself with the Canadian Pacific Railroad. While in Belleville, he assisted in the formation of a hardware company and was its secretary-treasurer for a number of years. He then became the managing director of a brass and steel enterprise. When the creditors threatened to take over the half- million-dollar Y.M.C.A. building in Vancouver, B.C., he was enlisted as financial secretary to save the structure. From the first, the task was virtually impossible of accom plishment; nevertheless, he threw his whole energies into it and, in the face of gigantic obstacles, was successful in raising a large sum of money thought to be uncollectable. During his residence in Vancouver, he assisted in the founding of the Christian Institute and was also for two years an instructor in salesmanship and business efficiency in the Soldiers Civil Reestablishment Bureau of Canada un der the supervision of the Canadian Government. He married Miss Rachel Hall Boyd in Montreal during the time of his residence in Belleville. Prior to their mar riage, Miss Boyd was the means of his conversion. After accepting Christ, he united with the Presbyterian Church. He has served both as an elder and as Sunday-school super intendent. He and his wife are now members of the Church of the Open Door, Los Angeles. Mr. and Mrs. Hunt have a son and a daughter, both of whom are resid ing with their parents. Not infrequently some of Mr. Hunt’s “unseen” friends find their way to Los Angeles, and when they do, Mr. Hunt always accords them a real welcome. Mr. Hunt’s efforts have led many Christians to sup port the work of the Bible Institute of Los Angeles through temporal gifts and through prayer, and to secure such sup port for the Institute, Mr. Hunt makes willing and lib eral sacrifice.
