A number of th e' good people th ere took scholarships for studen ts in th e Bible In stitu te of Los Angeles. Dr. Oliver’s combination of teaching, evangelistic work, exposition of pro phecy and of th e deeper sp iritu al life, has won for him many friends in the East, and he, has received many calls Tor service» Dr. A. C. Gaebelein Dr. A. C. Gaebelein, editor of “Our Hope,’’ spent the months of F eb ru ary and March in th e vicinity of Los An geles, and conducted a week’s service in each of th e following places: P asa dena, San Diego, Escondido, Redlands, Orange and Santa Ana, Hemet, Santa B arbara and Redondo. His messages were received w ith h earty commendation, as they always are wherever th is man of God goes. Owing to circumstances, some en gagements which had been made for him for the month of April had to be cancelled, bu t he has received a num ber of invitations for service in cities in the N orthern p art of th e S tate, and hopes to re tu rn some tim e in th e fall.

At th is w riting he is conducting services in one of the largest churches in Glas gow. Many young men are tak ing a very definite stand for th e Lord Jesus Christ. One n igh t about fo rty came straig h t ou t for the Lord. Mr. Nicholson expects to re tu rn to Los Angeles about th e first of Septem ber and will then be open for evan gelistic engagements in th is country. Dates may be arranged for him through
