is sometimes called “full-time Chris tian service.” We want our students to enter into such ministries as the Lord leads them. The fact is that many of our graduates are render ing diligent and outstanding service to the cause of Christ wherever they are. We’ve often said, “We want stu dents who’ll come to Biola asking, ‘how much Bible can I get?’ rather than those whose only concern is ‘how much Bible do I have to take?’ ” There’s a vast difference. Unless the potential student has an earnest de sire to learn all that he possibly can about God and His Word, that young person would be far better off in some other type of school. We em phasize again what has been one of our prime distinctions. Here at Biola the Word of God is central in our ideology, in our thinking, and in our teaching. So may it ever be until our Saviour comes again!
G O D ’ S W O R D Last eve I paused beside a blacksmith’s door And heard the anvil ring the vesper chime: Then looking in, I saw upon the floor Old hammers worn with beating years of time. “ How many anvils have you had,” said I, "To wear and batter all these hammers so?" “Just one," he answered, then with twinkling eye,' “ The anvil wears the hammers out, you know.” And so, I thought, the anvil of God’s Word For ages skeptic blows have beat upon; Yet, though the noise of falling blows were heard, The anvil is unworn— the hammers gone!
