Around the King's Table LOUIS T. TALBOT, Eclitor-in-Chief
Board of Trustees of-the Bible Institute of Los Angeles, under authority of the State of California, to take the neces sary steps. For a number of years this Bible In stitute has enjoyed the right to grant certain degrees to students who com plete the prescribed four-year courses in the above-named fields of study. Much of this work is of theological seminary level ; therefore, the members of the Board feel that the work should merit theological s e m i n a r y rating. They are desirous of keeping the Bible Institute of Los Angeles abreast of the times while presenting, as always, the Scriptures as the inerrant Word of God. Thus, continually, as the need arises, the curriculum is being strengthened, the faculty personnel enlarged, and the whole program expanded so that students who pursue their studies here may be qualified to present Jesus Christ in a most effective manner. Seminary students will have the ad vantage of receiving Bible Institute training along with their seminary in struction. No doubt there always will be a large majority of young people who. will take only the Bible Institute work. Such students will not be neglected in the least. It should be thoroughly un derstood that the establishment of the seminary in no way changes, modifies, eliminates or minimizes the work of the Institute nor is the seminary de signed to take its place. The Institute curriculum has been so arranged that a person who cannot remain more than one year will still receive'a" maximum of instruction in that time. Those who have not had the privilege of high school training still will be welcomed and will be enabled to receive all the help possible. At the same time, the new courses will constitute a chal lenge to the increasing number of uni versity students who are interested in the training Biola offers. Friends of the Bible Institute of Los Angeles ,may rest assured that the original purposes for which the school ■was created will be maintained and, in addition, the demands of this pres ent day in the educational life of young people will be met to the very best of our ability. Liberty in Christ Very shortly we shall be celebrating another “glorious Fourth,” marking the signing of the Declaration of Inde pendence, back of which lay the un questionable desire for liberty. Billions upon billions of dollars are now being
The Gospel for Thousands by Radio That the midnight hour of this dis pensation is fast approaching is cer tainly evident. Evening shadows are fast gathering about us. Apostasy is doing its deadly work. Yet over against these facts, more millions are hearing the gospel of salvation now in one week than could hear it in a year be fore the advent of the radio. The Editor-in-Chief of this magazine has been privileged, under God, to be one of the many whose ministry of the Word by means of radio has increased through the years. Beginning eleven years ago with six broadcasts a week, these Scripture expositions have "been sent forth with blessing and enlight enment to thousands. In addition to this, a few months ago, evening broad casts were added reaching along the Pacific coast into Canada. But a greater advance has just been made in sending out these “verse by verse” expositions five mornings a week at e l e v e n o’clock, Monday through Friday, over the California Mutual chain of fifteen stations. The response has been mo s t gratifying. Thousands of new friends in the coast al states are being made for the Bible Institute of Los Angeles along yith an awakened interest in Bible study in this large territory. Inquiries are com ing from far eastern states concerning the possibility of extension of this par ticular ministry to that locality. The extension of this work to new terri tories needs more than a “pull” from these new sections. It needs a “push” from the field already covered. Shall we give it? A forward step in the life of the Bible Institute of Los Angeles is being taken which, under God, will doubtless prove to be of far-reaching impor tance. "The Bible Theological Semin ary of Los Angeles,” affiliated with the Bible Institute of Los Angeles and oc cupying its buildings has been cre ated for the purpose of providing theo logical seminary recognition for those students who desire to work for de grees in Theology, Christian Educa tion, or Sacred Music. For years, Christian leaders on the Pacific Coast have realized the need for an interdenominational theological seminary in this region. There has heen much discussion concerning the possibility of establishing such an in stitution, but it has remained for the Bible Theological Seminary of Los Angeles
WITH US STILL By VELMA GRAY SUNDERMAN Above the cannon’s roar, we hear the lark; Above the battle’s fire, we glimpse a spark O f glory in a star; and in a bomb-dug hole A flaming poppy bares its soul. God’s love is reaching toward us still, God’s love is reaching toward us still. Far from the blood - w a s h e d field, a field of wheat Is golden that a hungry child may eat; Below the war-plane darkened skies The light of faith is shining in a child’s eyes. God’s love is gracious toward us still, God’s love is gracious toward us still. When there is hush of heavy marching feet, A mother’s p r a y e r is heard, serene and sweet; Amid the horror of consuming hates The holy Christ with love and pardon waits. God’s love is calling to us still, God’s love is calling to us still. O man, so slow to know the Father’s will, God's love, God’s w o n d r o u s love, is with us still.
