rather than toward the old Gospel, it is discouraging. But when we look back at the things accomplished in the few short months since the Institute was established, we thank God and take courage, for we know that ^the Goil who has blessed the work so far will, if we are submissive to His will, lead on to victory. Looking at the progress of the work, we are filled with joy and thanksgiving to God for His blessed favor in the ministry, and our hearts go out in prayer to Him for con tinued guidance and blessing, as we plan and develop the Institute activities frpm month to month. Will you not join us in intercession that the will of God may be accomplished in every move being made and anticipated?

Then from Monday to Friday, inclusive, we are anticipating a feast of good things, with Dr. Evans as teacher every afternoon and evening. We are hoping to have other helpers during the year, such as Dr. A. C. Gaebe- lein, editor of “Our Hope,” and Dr. James M.
