Due to financial difficulties, the program folded in May of the same year. Another drain on the dwindling funds of the Institute was its min istry in China. With the help of Dr. Frank Keller, who had been a mis sionary with the China Inland Mis sion, the Bible Institute founded the Hunan Bible Institute during the early twenties. Through the en couragement of T. C. Horton and Lyman Stewart, Milton Stewart underwrote most of the expense of building B i o l a ’ s training center in China.

Offi cials at Security First National were sympathetic to the plight of the school and agreed to advance the money to meet the real property tax bill. In November 1932 in the midst of this financial nightmare, Dr. Louis T. Talbot became acting pres ident. At the time, he was pastor of the Church of the Open Door and a popular radio minister.

The first Gentile Christians were won through Jewish evangelism. Foi centuries that debt has lain unacknowl edged. Only in our day is any reaf effort being made to repay it. Today the need and opportunity foi witness to Jews are great.
