B IOLA’S fame is spread throughout the earth. In all corners of the globe, its graduates can be found wit nessing a good confession for Christ. Among the most outstanding preachers in America today, are those like Dr. Charles Fuller, Dr. Donald G. Bamhouse, and Dr. Percy Crawford, who graduated from this Lord-honored and God-honor ing institution. Much of the success of this great Christian training center can be attrib uted to the tireless labors of its well- known president, Dr. Louis T. Talbot. Since retiring from the pastorate of the Church of the Open Door, two years ago, Dr. Talbot has devoted his time and energies to the furtherance of the claims of this work which he dearly loves. At the cost of considerable phys ical discomfort and hardship, he has traveled through India, Palestine, Bor neo, Japan, Siam, Malaya, and quite recently through the jungles of the Amazon in order to see Biola graduates at work. The films which he secured he shows in churches all over the coun try. They are the best missionary pic tures we have ever seen. A few months ago, the far-flung jour neys of Dr. Talbot were brought to the
Dallas Chaplains A new branch of theological training has been inaugurated at the Dallas The ological Seminary. This has grown out of the fact that Rudolf Renfer, a chap lain of World War II, felt very deeply the need of proper fundamental training for future chaplains. He believed there was too much emphasis oh the material phases of training for chaplains and that dying men on battlefields should he brought face-to-face with a living Sav iour. An enrollment of 20 for a course of 32 lectures from Professor Renfer and visiting chaplains is expected. Graham to Washington In a recent meeting in Washington, D.C., eleven members of Congress shared the platform with Evangelist Billy Gra ham to lay the groundwork for a forth coming evangelistic crusade in the na tion’s capital. The meeting will open January 13 of next year and run through February 10. Dr. J. Walter Carpenter, pastor of the Metropolitan Baptist Church, was named chairman of the executive committee for the cam paign. Bible Mastery Month October of this year will be observed as the 22nd Bible Mastery Month Cam paign. The plan is to read a Bible book at a sitting and to repeat the reading each day during the month. In the past such outstanding teachers as James M. Gray, William Evans, G. Campbell Mor gan apd Norman B. Harrison have urged this method. This year the book will be Philippians with the key text, “ Fellowship in the Furtherance of the Gospel.” Several denominations have en dorsed this movement officially. Montana Evangelism The greatest evangelistic effort in Montana’s history is now under way with more than 150 churches co-operat ing in a “ CHRIST FOR MONTANA” campaign. Spearheading the movement is Dr. Horace F. Dean, President of Christ for America, who claims that this movement will give Montana a real taste of the spiritual awakening that is being felt in many parts of America. Principal speakers will include Dr. John Zoller and Dr. Paul W. Rood. Appleman in England Currently a number of simultaneous revival campaigns are being held in England. The Plymouth meeting reports that they are seeing the largest crowds in 130 years of history. Other meetings held in the historic East London Taber nacle are making a strong appeal to the Jewish and Roman Catholic residents of that area.

attention of the Royal Geographical So ciety of Great Britain, a long established Society numbering among its Fellows, David Livingstone, the intrepid mission ary-explorer. At its last Council meet ing, Dr. Talbot was elected a Fellow of this renowned Society, and it was the writer’s privilege to announce this fact at the Baccalaureate Service of the Class of ’51 on June 3rd. Among other privileges, such a Fellowship per mits the use of the degree of F.R.G.S. All are agreed that this coveted dis tinction is well-deserved. Another member of the Biola faculty to be honored by Great Britain, is its gifted dean, Dr. S. H. Sutherland. The Philosophical Society of Great Britain is world-famous for its gathering of Christian scientists and philosophers, its president being Sir Frederick Kenyon. Among past presidents was the Earl of Shaftesbury. At a recent Board meet ing, Dr. Sutherland was duly elected a Fellow of this Society, which carries with it the right to the conferred title of F.Ph.S. We feel sure that the unique philosophical material supplied by the Victoria Institute, London, will ultimately find its way through the profitable lec tures of Biola’s popular dean.

The rest drift to and fro. But to every man there openeth
To every man there openeth A Way, and Ways, and a Way. And the High Soul climbs the High way, -iS And the Low Soul gropes the Low, And in between, on the misty flats,
A High Way, and a Low. And every man decideth The Way his soul shall go.
