A—Millennial? Pre—Millennial ? Post-Millennial? If you are a pre-millenarian, I have a message of supreme value for these* dark days. I advertised this same message some time ago. The responses from those who had sent for it were filled with gratitude to God for a new revelation that had come to them; almost every one said in effect: "This should be read by every Christian in America." So I am making the same announcement once again; I want to reach every true Christian who is longing for the coming of the King, and I am doing my part to accomplish it. Whether I reach you de pends on yourself. Just enclose 10c (stamps will do) in a letter and say, "I am a pre-millenarian; send me your message." If you are not a pre-millenarian, please do not answer this advertisement. And may I remind you also of the con tinuous needs of our missionary undertak ings? In the spirit of Isaiah 40:1-2, we stand astride the world and seek to bridge the gulf between a misrepresented Chris tianity and a misled Judaism. In this min istry of reconciliation (II Cor. 5:18) your faithful, prayerful undergirding is needed far more than you will ever know this side of eternity. Our work merits your every confidence. It is a program of world-wide Gospel testimony to the Jews. Your fellowship in prayer and in gift is always welcome and appreciated. Our monthly publication, THE C H O S E N PEOPLE, is of course sent to all contributors.

Around the Kings Table By PAUL W . ROOD
Admonitions to a Young Preacher "Study to show thyself approved unto G od, a workm an that needeth not to be asham ed, rightly dividing the word o[ truth " (2 Tim. 2 :1 5 ). So far as Scripture record is concerned, the last letter that Paul wrote was address ed to his spiritual son, Timothy, who was a young preacher. This Epistle of 2 Timo thy is filled with important admonitions that should be read, pondered, and obeyed by all servants of the Lord. In the verse that is before us, we have an admonition to study. A preacher must be a student throughout his entire career. In most cases, the minister has devoted a number of years to preparation for his task before he accepts a pastorate, but if he de pends entirely upon this training and does not continue to study, he is doomed to fail ure. It is to be hoped that his preparation has taught him habits of study ¿ a t will continue as long as he lives. The reason some preachers can stay acceptably in the same pulpit year after year is that they give to their hearers fresh truth from the Word of God, mined by continual study. One reason that some are unable to con tinue to minister successfully in one pulpit over a long period is that they have become mentally and spiritually lazy. A young preacher should set aside cer tain hours every day for study. Nothing should be permitted to interfere with this program. He should gradually build a good library, even though the obtaining of the books may mean his giving up other things that seem to be necessary. These books should be carefully selected. He should dis cuss books with his fellow ministers and seek the advice of Christian leaders in whom he has confidence. It is necessary for him to keep in touch with contemporary life. He should know what people are thinking so that he can establish a point of contact. He must speak the language of the day in order that the people who live now will understand him. His illustrations should be from the life of today as far as possible. The minister must be primarily a Bible student. He must know the Bible itself and be able to expound it in an interesting and helpful way. The preachers who render the most helpful service are expository preach ers. In order to be an expositor, one must literally live in the Word of God and "rightly divide” its teachings for his con gregation. The servant of the Lord should seek the approval of God. Contrariwise, many are seeking the approval of men. They try to please everybody. No one should try to antagonize people, but sometimes it is im possible to gain unanimous consent. The preacher of the gospel must be tactful, but
uncompromising. The important thing is to have God’s approval. His thoughts, words and deeds should be pleasing to the Lord, whether men approve or not. The ambassador of Christ should be a workman. God does not call a lazy man into His service. Not only preachers, but all Christian^ as well, must make every day count for God. W e are stewards, and we must render an account of our stewardship. W e should budget our time. W e should learn to differentiate between what is im portant and what is trivial. W e must take time for rest and recreation in order to keep a healthy body, but we must be work ers and not shirkers. A preacher should so live and labor that he will not be ashamed when he faces his Lord. This necessity is voiced by the Apos tle John: And now, little children, abide in him: that, when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming” (1 John 2 :2 8 ). Who will be ashamed when Christ comes? He who has neglected to read his Bible regu larly and to pray earnestly and consistently and has won no souls for Christ will be ashamed when the Lord returns. May we live and work so that we can look forward with confidence and joy to the second com ing of Christ! “By the Space of Three Years” As I approach the end of my three-year ministry at the Bible Institute of Los An geles, I find myself meditating upon Paul’s farewell message to the Ephesian elders after his three-year ministry in Ephesus. Paul went back in retrospect to these three years and rendered an account of his stewardship. Our hearts are moved as we read the account, for Paul evidently is looking upon his ministry in the light of eternity. It is not easy to make changes, and yet some changes are inevitable in the life of a minister. A pastor becomes attached to his people just as they become attached to him, and he never realizes fully how deep this attachment is until the time comes to say farewell. It was not easy to leave my beloved church in Chicago to come to Biola. When I had come to that church, my prayer was that a week should never go by without some soul’s coming to Christ. That prayer had been answered, and every week some one or several came to the Lord either through the public ministry or through per sonal work. This Lake View Church of Chicago by its generosity had opened the way for me to fulfill a childhood dream of making an evangelistic tour of the Scan dinavian countries. This trip had to be abandoned in order that I might come to Biola. Twice the call to the presidency of Biola came to me, and the second time the
call was answered in the affirmative after a night of prayer. The problems inherited were tremendous. A staggering debt, an accumulated deficit, and a heartbreaking annuity problem were staring us in the face. Many salable assets were gone, and rich donors were in heaven or had lost their riches. All of these prob lems and others too numerous to mention caused sleepless nights and horns of ago nizing prayer. These experiences were not easy to go through, and yet as I look back upon them I rest in Romans 8:28, for “we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose." Prayer was emphasized, and days and nights of prayer have been held that brought closer to God all those who engaged in this ministry of intercession. God worked in response to believing prayer, and the ship has been kept afloat these three years when many thought it was doomed. During this period, the Torrey Memorial Bible Conference was inaugurated. The purpose of this conference was to reveal to the world that we stood for the principles for which Torrey stood, doctrinally and evangelistically. C h ild evangelism was stressed, and many Christians received a new vision of the necessity of evangelizing the 27,000,000 children of America. A course in Child Evangelism was introduced as a correspondence course to enable those who had glimpsed the possibilities for children’s work to secure adequate training. Bible con ferences and evangelistic campaigns were held in various parts of the country. At these gatherings souls were saved, new sub scribers to T he K ing ’ s B usiness were se cured, and many new friends for Biola were contacted. The fact that my contract made it necessary to spend half of my time on the field made it difficult to give detailed atten tion to administrative duties here at home during these periods of absence. Within recent months Biola has had. to face a new crisis. The story is too long and involved to relate here, but the climax of the story is that the Church of the Open Door stepped into the breach and through the dynamic leadership of its pastor raised the $25,000.00 that was necessary to aug ment the collateral that would take care of the second mortgage. This mortgage now, by the grace of God and the generosity of the Church of the Open Door members and friends, has been wiped out. The sum of $400,000.00 owed to Mrs. Lyman Stewart also has been wiped out by her generosity (the Institute accepting the responsibility for the support of the Bible Women, the value of whose work cannot be estimated), and the Institute debt on its building is now reduced to $188,000.00, a situation which of course presents a much brighter picture than the one we formerly had to face.

Some months ago, the World’s Christian Fundamentals Association insisted on "drafting” me to devote all my time to evangelistic campaigns, Bible conferences, and organization work in behalf of the Association. The feeling expressed was that America as a nation is facing the greatest crisis in her history and that a debacle is inevitable unless we have a nation-wide revival. The time has come to organize as many as possible of the estimated 20,000,000 Fundamentalists of America and to call on God’s people to cry out to God for a national revival. The Association has a responsibility in this crisis that it dare not evade. This challenging call has been before me for months, and the fact that I feel deeply concerned and stirred over national con ditions has made it very appealing. The further fact that the Church of the Open Door is now challenged as never before by a responsibility to the Bible Institute makes me feel that I conscientiously can be released from my responsibility at Biola. W ith my recommendation, Louis T . Talbot has been elected as my successor. The fact that he is in a position to serve without salary and that he has a great church and radio audi ence to appeal to for aid makes me feel that he can render the Institute great assist ance at this time. I leave Biola reluctantly because I love this school and these precious young people committed to our care. I shall ever carry the school and its students on my heart, and any service that can be rendered Biola will be offered gladly even though I have no official relationship with the Institute. I rejoice in the unity that now characterizes every department of Biola and in the strong faculty that the school now possesses. I bespeak for Dr. Talbot, for the Board of Trustees, and for the entire personnel of Biola the prayers and support of God’s people everywhere. As for me, I go conscious of the fact that I have been led of the Lord. A tenta tive program arranged for a year will take me to practically every part of the nation. The first campaign is scheduled to be held at the Calvary Baptist Church of New York City at the time this issue of T he K ing ’ s B usiness will be in its readers’ hands. My greatest encouragement is that God has given me many prayer warriors. Please pray for me that God may use me as a fire brand and that revival fires may be kindled throughout the nation. My final word is a hearty “thank you” to all who have made my burdens lighter by their sympathetic understanding, kind words and deeds, and by their prayers. God bless and reward all of you! W e meet daily at the throne of grace. "And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified” (Acts 20:31).
Resolution o f the W orld ’s Christian Fundamentals Association WHEREAS, Almighty God, in His infinite goodness and wisdom, has raised up in this hour of crisis in the course of Christian civilization a mighty leader of the forces of fundamental Chris tianity, contending for the faith of our fathers, and combating the common enemies of Christ and country, and WHEREAS, Brother Paul Rood has exemplified in his masterful conduct of this convention, and in his years of direct and indirect fellowship and labor with us as individuals and as an organization, that he is gifted of God with the peerless and priceless qualities of leadership which the World's Christian Fundamentals Association requires if it is to go forward in its task of winning the young and old of the world for Christ, of safeguarding our in valuable heritage of Christian American civilization, and WHEREAS, It is the sense and sentiment, the plea and the prayer, the wish and the will, of this convention that FUNDAMENTALISM SHALL CONTINUE ON THE MARCH, shall continue moving forward in the Lord's work, until that blessed day when we shall rejoice in His glorious appearing, BE IT RESOLVED, THEREFORE, That this convention does hereby urge upon our dearly beloved brother and leader, Paul Rood, that he accept the divine summons, with the help of God, to keep fundamentalism on the march, uncompro misingly, unceasingly, unremittingly, and unfail ingly— unto the glory of God and the cause of Christ. PURSUANT OF the above divine objective, this convention here and now respectfully drafts Brother Rood to the heavenly commission of devoting his full time to the carrying forward of evangelistic campaigns, the conducting of Bible conferences, and the furtherance in all worthy ways of the on ward march of the World's Christian Fundamentals Association for Christ and His kingdom. EXECUTIVE COMM ITTEE, World*s Christian Fundamentals Ass*n. bands, each with a capable leader and six men, expected to go forth after September 24, to western Hunan and possibly Kwei chow province for a year’s work. Mr. Roberts writes: "Much prayer is necessary for these thirty-five evangelists as they go forth into districts not now directly dis turbed by war conditions. Most of them will be serving in places where the gospel has never been preached. W ith the mass evacuation and migration of Chinese from ‘occupied territory’ to west and south China, the opportunities for service are overwhelming." 2. R eopening o f the Scofield Corres pondence Course. C. K. Cheng (known often as "Scofield Cheng” ) has returned to the Institute after an absence of two years. He is planning to strengthen and extend the ministry of his Scofield Correspondence Course which God has singularly blessed to hundreds in China, and to a number of Chi nese in America who need study helps in their own language. 3. An Extension D epartment fo r Bible- Evangelistic Conferences. The Institute at Changsha plans to undertake special con ference work in districts where the regular Biola workers are more permanently lo cated, and in this way to gather for short periods of special Bible study the Chinese who will have become interested in the gospel. Workers of this extension depart ment will also visit large centers upon call from Christian churches. Pray that the Lord will lead our brethren as they start out after the Conference at Changsha in September. Waterloo, Iowa May 8-15, 1938.
Resolution of the Board o f Trustees o f the B ible Institute o f Los Angeles WHEREAS, Paul W. Rood has faithfully and energetically served the Bible Institute of Los Angeles, Incorporated, for the last three years as President and has by his zeal and enthusiasm increased the income of the Bible Institute and raised the spiritual and educational standards of the school, and WHEREAS, Dr. Rood has ablv edited The King*s Business and has contactea and secured many new subscribers for the magazine and donors for the Bible Institute through his evangelistic campaigns and Bible conferences, and WHEREAS, Dr. Rood has by precept and ex ample emphasized evangelism and soul-winning and faithfulness to the Lord and His Word, and WHEREAS, Paul W. Rood has resigned as President of the Bible Institute of Los Angeles, Incorporated, to accept a call from the World's Christian Fundamentals Association to devote all his time to evangelistic campaigns, Bible confer ences, and organization work in the interest of the Association, NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, That we as members of the Board of Trustees of the Bible Institute of Los Angeles express our grati tude to God and Dr. Rood for what has been accomplished during his administration and our admiration for his untiring labors, his faithful proclamation of the Word, his earnestness and sincerity and his brotherly spirit, and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That we follow Dr. Rood with our prayers and well wishes as he takes up his new work, and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That we extend to him a hearty welcome to our conferences and fellowship and that we bespeak for him the prayers and cooperation of God's people everywhere. TH E BOARD OF TRUSTEES, The Bible Institute o f Los Angeles, Inc . Los Angeles, California September 2, 1938. W ITH NOTH ING certain except that the city of Changsha is doomed to further Japanese bomb ing raids, the staff of the Hunan Bible Institute is planning a fall program of Bible-centered ministry to needy areas of China. It is impossible to estimate the cour age and devotion to the Lord Jesus Christ that are evidenced by this decision. Re cently, during a fearful air raid on the city of Changsha, Hunan, the Hunan Bible Institute mercifully was spared damage, and became a refuge for many hospital pa tients. Refugee work among Christians, evan gelistic itineration by the Biola Bands, and a Bible teaching ministry to persons who cannot gather safely in the Institute build ings will afford a flexible schedule of serv ice, as outlined in an August letter from Charles A. Roberts, treasurer of the school. W ith such doubt concerning troop move ments in the vicinity of Changsha, the In stitute leaders in China feel that they can not reopen the school for regular study this fall. They expect, however, fo use the buildings {or definite w ork for Christian refugees and others, and also to take every opportunity to have meetings and Bible classes. For September 17 to 24 they plan ned a conference at the Institute for the regular Biola Band Evangelists and other Christian workers. The threefold program for the fall— sub ject, of course, to change if war conditions so require—is as follows: 1. B iola Band W ork. Five separate
