spoke to her soul. Now her husband and two children are saved, and they have a family altar in their home. “A ll this is due to ‘ Child Evangelism and the way the Lord used the lessons to help me,” she said when she was talking with one of the teachers. Another teacher tells of the deep im­ pression made upon the elders of her church because so large a percentage of boys and girls were asking for membership and showing an intelli­ gent and earnest faith. These new ap­ plicants were, for the most part, mem­ bers of Child Evangelism classes. Churches that are vitally concerned with soul-winning welcome the hold­ ing of Child Evangelism .classes in their vicinity. Many members of the Church of the Open Door are serving either as teachers or as hostesses who open their homes fo r .classes. Except during the summer vacation months, a training class for teachers meets each week in the Lyceum Club Room in the Church of the Open Door base­ ment. .

school life, all who are enrolled in the Christian Education course, and many 1 others as well, are receiving classroom instruction at the Institute along the general line of the Child Evangelism Fellowship’s methods: Scripture-graph. preparation and use, object lessons, teaching of Bible memory work to children, and the like. There is no finer opportunity before the Lord’s people today than the evangelization of boys and girls. The aim of the Child Evangelism Fellow­ ship is to reach every child with the gospel. Direct evangelism is stressed. More open homes and volunteer teach­ ers are needed to reach the thousands of children who have never heard the gospel story. Few of these boys' and ) girls will be won in later years if they are not evangelized now. Church records and statistics of evangelistic efforts prove that the likelihood of an individual’s being saved by personal faith lessens rapidly with increasing age, as sin and the claims of the world make surrender of the will to Christ more difficult. Soon the boys and girls about us today will be the men and women of our nation. THEY MUST BE REACHED NOW! who are looking toward the mission field, but also by a number of pro­ fessors and students of other universi­ ties. In this study, emphasis is placed upon a scientific approach to problems of reducing unwritten languages to writing, translation of the Scriptures into these languages, and teaching the natives of these language groups to read. William Sedat, who has been con­ nected with Camp Wycliffe for the last six years and has done extensive research in the Kekchi language of Central America, will come to the In­ stitute to teach such subjects as Phonetics, Phonemics, Tonemics, and Morphology. The significance of this development lies in the fact that stu­ dents who attend the Institute will receive outstanding basic instruction in the subjects offered at Camp Wyc­ liffe; and in the event that they cannot get to Camp Wycliffe, the material which they receive will help them tremendously in whatever for­ eign language study they undertake. The extension of work in Apolo­ getics and Linguistics constitutes only two of the improvements planned for the curriculum offered at tjie Bible Institute of Los Angeles. Other at­ tractive features will be announced later. AROUND THE KING'S TABLE [ Continued from Page 283]
