The Bible Institute o f Los -Angeles and the Churches 'H E Bible Institute does not antagonize any evangelical denomination. It seeks to cooperate with them all. It has no purpose or thought o f forming a new denomination. The Institute recognizes and rejoices in the great good that is being accomplished by the churches of the different denomina­ tions, and seeks to help them to do even more efficient work. It desires and cultivates the fellowship and cooperation o f all the evangelical denominations and of individual believers in all the churches. While there is a church worshiping on the Lord’s Day in the Auditorium of the Bible Institute, that church is an entirely sep­ arate organization, and the Institute does not require nor expect that students coming to the Institute will become members o f that church. The church is open to those who desire to become mem­ bers of it, but it is expected that the students o f the Bible Institute will be loyal to the denominations to which they belong. The directors and teachers of the Institute are chosen without regard to their denominational affiliation, and have always repre-. sented a number of different evangelical denominations. Among those represented on the Faculty and Board o f Directors of the Bible Institute of the present or the past, may be mentioned mem­ bers of the following denominations: Methodist Episcopal, Pres­ byterian, United Presbyterian, Congregational, Lutheran, Baptist, Episcopal, Christian, United Evangelical. The Institute stands for a definite*-statement o f faith, and all

its teachers and directors, regardless of denominational affiliation, are required once a year to sign the Statement of Faith. All moneys contributed to the Institute will be held inviolable for the teaching of the truths set forth in its statement of doctrine.
