Dear Friend:
Please try to visualize this scene It is Sunday evening - the last session of an annual Mis sionary Conference in Los Angeles in which the Bible Institute and the Church of the Open Door cooperate. For a whole week recently returned missionaries and others representing almost every section of the globe, have unburdened their hearts in the presentation of facts and in appeals for the spiritually perishing. In quick strong strokes they have drawn a picture of a world without God and without hope - a world of unrest and un certainty, a world in darkness and under the shadow of death. It was a world like this that the Saviour looked upon when He was moved with compassion because the people were in distress and despair. This is the picture on which an earnest appeal was based. Will the response be adequate to the need? Is the com passion of Christ permeating and dominating this great congre gation? And will they respond, will they go, will they give, will they pray? A call sounds forth - a call for volunteers - a call for those who will go to the uttermost parts and the darkest places to make Christ known. The response is wonderful, a real inspi ration, - ten, twenty, fifty, one hundred, two hundred, three hundred, and still they come - three hundred and fifty young men and young women standing around the platform saying, as did the young prophet in response to a similar call long ago, "Here am I, send me." Then follows the appeal to parents to give their sons and daughters, and then an appeal to the congregation of three thousand people to cooperate in the work of training an army of young people for the work of world evangelization. And now the appeal comes to you, dear reader. What will you do? Will you dedicate yourself to this same service of world evangelization and be obedient to the heavenly vision? World evangelization is the noblest and grandest purpose that can animate the human soul. Will you align yourself with it in purpose and prayer and purse-? We await your answer. We want to continue the work of training an army of young people who can go forth into the field, which is the world, properly equipped with the armor of God. This task requires your full est cooperation. May we hear from you at once? We want your prayerful interest and generous aid in this great task. Yours in His Service, Bible Institute of Los Angeles,
