4. Many m eth ods of Bible study are ta u g h t or used during th e course. 5. A general knowledge of the different methods of Christian work is gained,' such as teaching, preach ing, Sunday School methods, mission tvork, foreign misr lionary work, and a very thorough train ing in per sonal evangelism. 6 . T h e prac tical knowledge one gains in th e actual doing of s o m e f o r m of Christian w o r k . This is wholly vol untary on the p art of th e stud en t and is a necessary aid to C h r i s t i a n g r o wt h. As an i l l u s t r a t i o n of what the students did last year in this line, we have the following fig ures: T h e students last year volun tarily d istribu ted 383 Bibles a n d Testaments, 5974 Gospels, and 36,- 183 Gospel tracts. They talked per sonally w ith 5014 people about th eir need of Christ and had th e privilege of leading 405 to confess Christ as th eir p e r s o n a l Saviour. Besides t h i s ,

and women in dif ferent branches of learn ing are re ceiving a l a r g e patronage a t the present time. P er sons w ishing to secure a knowl edge of a l m o s t any subject may f i n d opportunity in some kind of an Evening School. The most valu able knowledge received in th i 3 life is a knowledge of God and His Word; as the Bible tells us in 2 P eter 3:18, “But grow in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord and Sav iour Jesus Christ,” and the only way to f u l l y k n o w JeSus Christ is to know the Bible. The E v e n i n g S c h o o l of the Bible In stitu te of Los Angeles offers to e v e r y o n e a Bible Course and train in g in m eth ods of Christian work of excellent character.

tematic, and prac tical. Its in struc tors are f r o m among the best Bible teachers of t h i s a n d other lands. One may sum up the advantages of th e Evening School of the Bible Insti tu te of Los Angeles as follows: 1. All sessions are held afte r 6:00 P. M. so th a t most young men and women who work during th e day can attend. 2. Sessions are so arranged th a t only th ree evenings a week are required to complete th e th ree years’ course. 3. Those w ishing to tak e p a rt of th e course may select th eir subjects. h*7V-b—t — i---- - * \ / mm m

many conducted meetings, taugh t Sunday School classes, held open a ir meetings, and engaged in o th er forms of Christian work. W ith these advantages, it is no t surprising th a t young men and women come from all p arts of Los Angeles, and even as far away as Hollywood, Glendale, Pasadena, Santa Monica, Long .Beach, W h ittier and Monrovia. Also, last year students came representing twenty-five different nation alities and forty different religious denom inations.
