And oh, how such encouragement is appreciated ! “Through a legacy recently received, the Lord has made it possible for Mrs.-------- and me to make a gift to the Bible Insti tute of Los Angeles. In one sense we con sider it as a partial repayment for some of the good things we received as students of the Institute, though of course spiritual values cannot be reckoned in terms of dol lars and cents. But we would like to help you carry on the good work of training other young men and women for Christian service. “You will therefore please find enclosed a check in the amount of eight hundred dollars for the above purpose. We would like to have it anonymous as far as pos sible. It might be credited to two former students in grateful recognition of benefits received during their course of study at the Bible Institute. “We are always interested in news of what is going on at BIOLA and we pray that God may ever use His servants there more and more as instruments of blessing in Southern California and throughout the world.”
