EQUIP A SOLDIER

A LMOST daily inquiries reach us from possible students, as to the “bread and butter problem” during a training course for service. We are compelled to reply that *the Institute has no fund for Cadets of the Kingdom. We need a fund for loans without inter­ est, to students who have no other means of support. Students cannot justly be held responsi­ ble for diligence in study and. training and, at the same time, for earning their expenses. They are liable to break down during the course, or so to prolong it as to be delayed in equipment for the field. Consider the following important finan­ cial facts: $6.00 will support a student for

a week; $25.00 will support a student for a month; $250.00 will support a student for a year; $500.00 will support a student through the entire course. If you will lend us the money, in the name of the Lord, for all or part of the course, we will lend it to promising candi­ dates who will return it, in due time, to perpetuate its beneficence in helping a suc­ cessor. And you may have the satisfaction of knowing that your money will get busy immediately, since every student, from the beginning is in active seryice in one or more departments of evangelism, as a part of his or her training. Pray about it and for it, and for the Institute. Make your check payable to the “Bible Institute of Los Angeles.”

We have no doubt that these “Ten Rules” slipped into “The Young People” without careful scrutiny on the part of the editor of that department, for we are confident there would be no endorse­ ment of such a statement concerning Jeho­ vah. Our hearts are full of sorrow in view of the insidious false teaching that creeps into so many places through magazines and newspapers; and through teachers in our Sunday Schools and day schools and col­ leges, the effect of which is to undermine the faith of young people in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ and the great doc­ trines of the Scriptures.

Cp HE “Young People,” published by the ■*- American Baptist Publication Society, in its issue of January 27, has a list of ten “Rules of Living for Girls.” Nine'of them are splendid rules of life for young people, or old people, but not one of them could be kept without the power of the new life which comes from the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, which is given to every one that believes in Jesus Christ as Saviour ahd Lord. The tenth rule, however, seems remarkable, coming from this source. It reads: “I will speak and act truthfully, and live with sincerity towards God and man, remembering always that there is but one -God, viz.: Truth, Love, Life, Good." This last statement suggests that these
