1 BIBLE IN ST ITUTE HAPPEN ING S 1 Particularly of Interest to Friends and Students

Biola Hall, a local evangelistic branch of the Bible Institute, continues to have interesting and fruitful serv ices. Evangelist W. P. Nicholson who conducted meetings for over a month left recently to open fall campaigns and Rev. James R. Smith of St. Louis, known as “ Railroad Jim” has since held a number of remarkable services. A Congregational minister writes: “ I „ wish to say, that in my opinion, The King’s Business is the finest magazine of its kind and now that you are spec ializing on the Sunday School lesson, I have not renewed my subscription to other magazines of the kind.” A letter is also just at hand from The Sunday School Times, containing this remark: “ The new cover design with the herald and his trumpet and his banner, is a thing of beauty and of art and is far and away above the old cover design. The Sunday School Times makes its compliments to The King’s Business and congratulates it on its improve ment.” Thanks— the Sunday School Times has our “ O. K.” RIS m Richard Hart, an Institute student, is now connected with the American Sunday School Union, with headquar ters at Red Bluff, Calif. He writes that he has organized several new Bible Schools. The Biola Annual, published by the Alumni Association, has jugt been issued, Don D. Donnan, 1916, being edi tor. It is a very attractive booklet giving much interesting information in regard to the Institute and news from former students. Miss' Pauline Fraas, ’ 15, writes, “ There is a big thank you in my heart
As we go to press the fall term of the Bible Institute is about to open, and in spite of war conditions, a good enroll ment is indicated. It is to be expected however, that the number of men in the classes will be short of what it has been, but the number of women is con siderably increased. Several members of the Institute force are about to enter various branches of war work, among them being J. P. Welles, business man ager; Warren A. Pike, secretary of the students’ bureau; Henry Greenwald, manager of the men’s hotel, and Dr. Pinkerton, the house physician. Many of the departments have already given up experienced helprs to war work. While there have been a great many encouraging replies to the Bible Insti tute appeal in the October number of The King’s' Business, the $40,000 needed at once to clear up the present deficit, is far from secured. Many who have in past years contributed liberally, are this year dividing the amount usu ally given, with other calls in connec tion with the war work, while there are some who state that they must give all their funds set aside for Christian work to the war purposes. This means that unless some of God’s people are led to make real sacrifices, the Lord’s work in its various branches is going to be seriously curbed in an hour when it is needed as never before. The Bible Institute is saving every penny possi ble and many of its workers are doing double work. The need has been com mitted to Him who owns the “ silver and the gold and the cattle on a thousand hills,” and who has said “ every need of yours shall be supplied.”
