Dr. Rood Selects His Prayer Hour
CH AR T reproduced on the next page. Each watcher selects his or her sta tion— the hour in which to pray once each Week in home, shop, store or office— day or night, as each individually prefers. The clock faces on the chart are printed in dark and lighter types for each day of the week, so as to distinguish between the hours of day or night. “ Shut-ins,” invalids, watchers by the sick, and night workers, as well as those who follow our Lord’s custom (Luke 6:12) and pray in the quiet hours of the night watches, will doubdess choose the dark face dials. On the other hand, there are many busy Christian men and women everywhere who will endeavor to find at least one hour of the morning or afternoon when, once a week, they can pray for Biola and its work. Thus the entire 168 hours of each week will be filled by a widely scattered group who will silently relieve each other from hour to hour in individual supplication to God for the continuance of this Institute. Would you have a part in this great adventure of prayer and faith? If so, dear reader, turn the page and study the chart. Select your hour, and sign and send in your application, or write us in your own language, and we will at once enroll you on our list of helpers—a list never to be published. W e believe that you will find it a memorable personal experience, filled with much blessing to yourself, and productive of great benefit to Biola. No responsibility is assumed by any applicant other than the faithful performance of a promise to pray one hour weekly, until God shall have supplied the funds for the Fall Semester of 1936 at Biola, or until the applicant is otherwise released. W ill you not join our ranks of watchers today?
“/ have set watchmen upon thy walls, O Jerusalem , which shall never hold their peace day nor night: ye that make mention of the Lord, keep not silence ” Isaiah 62:6. Six to seven, every Monday morning— that hour, each week, has been selected by Paul W . R ood , President o f the Bible Institute o f Los Angeles, as his special hour of earnest supplication and prayer for the support of the Institute. In this prayer effort, Dr. Rood is, however, not alone. H e is only the leader of a great, organized band of intercessors scattered all over the United States, who have individually agreed to pray one hour each week at an appointed time day or night. This intercession will continue without inter ruption until a sum of money has been, donated or pledged sufficient to guar antee the running expenses of the Fall Semester of the Institute, which opens on September 8, 1936. It is perhaps the most intensively organized adventure in prayer ever undertaken by any Bible Institute in the United States and Dr. Rood is serenely confident of a favorable result. This Bible Institute gives tuition free. N o charge is made to students for their training expenses. Yet, consecrated Bible teachers are provided; and when a Biola graduate finally goes forth into the harvest field at home or abroad, he is as thoroughly equipped doctrinally as it is humanly possible to make him; ready to meet any situation that may arise in his evangelistic work. Every Christian, no matter where residing, is invited to join this band of prayer watchers. The chart to which Dr. Rood is pointing is our OFFICIAL PRAYER
