452 T H E K I N G ' S B U S I N E S S Now this church is one of those pessimistic, premillennial churches, believing: in the infallible Word of God and looking for the return of the Lord, and we are only giving this notice for the purpose of calling at­ tention to the fact that the enemies who are making light of the Old Book are now challenged to show their hands and produce some church whose doctrines, are opposed to the fundamental teaching of God’s Word that can show as good results. The Old Book stands. The Old Book works. The Old Book produces results. —T. C. H. ■si*- a ? afc FALSIFYING FACTS The Chicago University and some of the Methodist periodicals of the country have been doing a great injustice to the Bible Institute of Los Angeles. We have no fault to find with their statement that we are pre- millennialists. We acknowledge it and stand with God’s Word in our hand and challenge proof of our being wrong. But we do desire to sound out a message of denial that we have millionaires back of otir work. This is a baseless misrepresentation and we request those who are re­ sponsible for it to correct the statement they have made. It is true that two men with big hearts for God have given generously to the’ Institute and have enabled us to erect our building. One has given almost every­ thing he has to God’s work in this and other lands. He has sold his home and built a smaller one in which he enjoys the fruit of his long service in seeing God’s blessing on thè work. The other man, more,than ten years ago, set aside a large portion of his means in a Trust Fund for work in the foreign fields, and the fund is still being distributed largely in China. The money from this fund has been given through the evangelical denominations, and our Methodist brethren who are assailing the premiliennialists and misrepresenting the Bible Institute of Los Angeles have been very glad to accept from that fund about $600,000.00, and are having for this year $25,000.00. In view of their attitude they should either refuse to receive these funds, or else refrain from their attacks upon an institution which is doing God’s service and is absolutely dependent upon the gifts of God’s people for its support. N The writer has had thè privilege of-knowing all the facts from the inception of the work and wants to say again that the Bible Institute^ of Los Angeles is indebted to these two generous-hearted, God-fearing, Christ- loving men for their generous help in this work, which is bringing them in large spiritual returns ; but he also desires to, say with renewed emphasis that the Institute is wholly dependent upon the gifts of God’s people for- its support. V < The Institute does not belong to any man, for the corner stone carries these words : D E D I C A T E D unto Him that loved us and washed us from our sins in His own blood. -v The deed to the property contains a statement of doctrine that can be NOW IS THE TIME—ONLY FIVE
