Biola Opens 47th Year of Spiritual Training
"Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path." Psalm 119:105 opening of school Coming from all parts of the United States and various other countries of the wor1d, hundreds of Christ·dedicated young people begin training this month at the Bible Institute of Los Angeles. The new term ushers in the 47th year in the training of men and women at the Bible Institute which was oonceived in prayer on February 25, 1908, with Mr. Lyman Stewart elected President and Mr. T. C. Horton, Superintendent. Since that historic meeting, more than fifteen thousand young people have been graduated with the majority of them serving on foreign fields around the world. Not only does the Fall term begin a new year for the day school, but also for the BIOLA Evening School. Of course, continuing year round is the BIOLA Correspondence School which has many thousands on its roll. The students enjoy Christian fellowship with a solid emphasis on spii,itual development while receiving the very highest of academic training. Those interested in attending the school should write the Registrar for complete information, and then give prayerful consideration to attendance at the BIOLA Bible College, School of Missionary Medicine, Talbot Theological Seminary, or the Bible Institute of Los Angeles.

My dear friends in the Lord: I must take this opportunity of letting you know what your programs have meant to me. But I must say that this has not always been true. Some months ago, I was forced to stay home from work because of illness. I couldn't understand why I should have to suffer so. Then one morning, I tuned the dial around trying to find some news program, when I came across your broadcast. I started to listen with the thought that I'd just liee what foolishness religion was trying to pawn off on the world. When that program had ended I tried to convince myself that what had been said wasn't true of me, and that I didn't need any Saviour. For some reason I began listening to every program and soon I got to the place where I looked forward to the time when they came on the air. Then, just last week, the most wonderful thing happened to me in all my years on this earth: I gave my heart to the Lord Jesus Christ. I can never tell you the peace and joy that floods my soul, but I know you understand, and I just wanted to take this opportunity to tell you what your programs have meant to me. May God continue to keep you on the air, always . .. MR. J. M., Walla Walla dr. talbot's itinerary Friends of the Bible Institute of Los Angeles will be inter– ested to learn of the speaking engagements for Dr. Louis T. Talbot, Chancellor.

~ lamp unto my feet ~ By DR. SAMUEL H. SUTHERLAND, President "Let us lay aside every weight and the sin which doth so easily beset us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith." The order of an ancient Asian court was interrupted when a certain nobleman was found in riotous conduct. Ordered before the king for his unbecoming acts, the sentence of death was immediately passed upon him. But, falling on his knees, the accused begged for mercy and said that he would do anything if only his life might he spared. After a moment's hesitation, the king called for an empty shell and a pitcher of oil. Hand– ing the shell to the offender, the ruler filled it with oil to the very brim until it would hold no more. Then, he told the accused to go out into the streets for the entire day, and if in so doing he spilled a single drop of the oil, the soldiers who walked beside him would immediately behead him. If, how– ever, by some miraculous means, he did not spill the liquid, his life would be saved. At the end of the day, having accom– plished the arduous and almost unbelievable task, the noble– man returned and again faced the king, who asked: "What did you hear today?" "Nothing,'' was the reply. "What did you see today?" the king queried. "Nothing," was the same response. Again the monarch spoke : "You mean that on this, the market day in our city, the busiest time of the entire week; that you saw and heard nothing? How do you account tor this?" Slowly the nobleman spoke: "Sir, it was because my eyes were fixed upon this shell of oil, for my life depended upon it." My friends, if only our eyes would he fixed upon Christ, so that we could not hear the call of the world and see the lust of the flesh, then our lives would be victorious trophies of His matchless love and grace. Yes, "turn your eyes upon Jesus, look full in His wonderful face, and the things of earth will grow strangely dim in the light of His glory and grace." ........................

He giveth more grace as the burdens grow greater, He giveth more strength as the labours increase; To added affiiction He addeth more mercy, To multiplied trials He multiplies peace. When we have exhausted our store of endurance, When our strength has faNed ere the day is half done, When we reach the end of our hoarded resources, Our Father's full giving has only begun. His love has no limits, His grace has no measure, His power no boundary known unto men; And out of His infinite riches in Jesus, He giveth and giveth and giveth again. * * * Good works are not the price of a ticket to heaven, hut the proof of the right to enter there. * * * A new minister had been making his fir t call at the home of one of his flock upon his arrival in his new field of labour. When the husband came home from work, his wife remarked, "The new minister called today, and he asked a very s~range question." Queried the husband, "What did he say?" His wife replied, "He asked: 'Does Christ live here?"' The husband, a bit disturbed, said, "Why didn't you tell him that we read our Bible and say our prayers? Why didn't you explain to him that we attend chur&h regularly?" The woman, a bit confused too, answered: "But he didn't ask those questions. He only asked, 'Does Christ live here?'" * * * HIS PATH FOR ME I put my feet upon God's path, I know not where that path will lead, Nor yet how long the road wi1l be. I need not know. I only plead That He will always be my guide.
And I shall find, when life is past, His path was safe, and it was best, And it has led me home at last. -MARTHO\ SNELL NIGH•LSON * * *
