STATEMENT OF FAITH
We believe and teach
That the Bible, consisting of all the books of the Old and New Testaments, is the Word of God, a supernaturally given revelation without error or misstatement in moral and spirit ual teachings and record of historical facts. That there is one God, eternally existing and manifesting Himself to us in three Persons Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. That our Lord Jesus was supernaturally conceived by the Power of the Holy Spirit, born of a virgin, lived and taught and wrought mighty works and wonders and signs exactly as is recorded in the four Gospels, was put to death by crucifixion under Pontius Pilate, was raised from the dead in the body that had been nailed to the cross, now sits at the Father's right hand from whence He is coming again to this earth, personally, bodily, and visibly, in which God's purposes of grace toward mankind will find their consumma tion. That in His pre-existent state He was with God and was God , and of His own choice laid aside His divine glory and took upon Himself the form of a servant and was made in the likeness of men. That He became in every respect a real man, possessed of all the essential charac teristics of human nature . That by Hi s death upon the cross, the Lord Jesus made a perfect atonement for sin, redeem ing us from the curse o f the law by becomi ng a curse in our place. That the Holy Spirit is a Person, is God, and is possessed of all the distinctively divine attributes. That man was created in the image of God, but the whole human race fell in the s in of the first Adam, and apart from Christ is s piritually dead and lost. That men are jus tified on the s imple and single ground of the shed blood of Chri st and upon the simple and single condition of faith in Him who shed the blood, and are born again by the Holy Spirit, through the instrumentality of the Word of God. That all those who receive Jesus Christ as their Saviour and their Lord, and who confess Him as s uch before their fellow men become heirs of God and joint-heirs with Jesus Christ and at death their spirits depart to be with Chri s t in conscious blessedness, and at the second coming of Chri s t their bodies shall be raised and transformed into the likeness of the body of Hi s Glory. That all those who persistently reject Jesus Christ in the present life shall be raised from the dead and throughout eternity exist in a state of conscious and endless torment. That the Church consists of all those who , in thi s present dispensation, truly believe on Jesus Christ , and is the body and bride of Chri s t, which Christ loves and for which He has given Himself. That th ere is a personal devil, a being of great cunning who can exert vast power only so far as God suffers him to do so, and who shall ultimately be cast into the lake of fire and brimstone. - A bridged.
Every member of the Board of Trusteesand every teacher is required to sign the unabridged f orm of this statement of fail h the first of every school year: and no one can ever teach or preach in our buildings any doctrine cont rary to it.

- Lyman Stewart .

LYMAN STEWART
LOUI S T. TALBOT President THE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
My dear Young Men and Young Women: l wish that I had the space to tell you fully of the marvelous way in which our God has bared His mighty arm in our behalf in past years and months. Surely we have been taught anew the transcendent truth that our God is able to do "exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think." Furthermore , we feel that God has spoken to our hearts saying that Biola must go on to even greater fields of usefulness than ever before; that more students must be prepared-and more fully prepared-to carry the incomparable gospel of God 's grace to the uttermost parts of the world. So it is our aim that with His s trength and wisdom we will spare no effort to make our beloved school one of the foremost Bible training schools in this country. And we pray that in the years that lie ahead, God will graciously give us even greater victories than in our glorious past. Yours in His fellowship , Louis

THE DEAN'S MESSAGE This catalog is being sent to you because of a definite interest which you have manifested in The Bible Institute of Los Angeles. Therefore, will you take this message and this catalog as a personal invitation to "come and see" that which may be found here by way of definite training and inspira tional fellowship. The greatest need of today is the training of young people for the leadership of tomorrow. The Bible Institute is dedicated to this task, which will su re ly come upon the youth of the world in the years that lie ahead. If you desire to enter the gospel ministry or the foreign missionary field, if you desire a teaching ministry in the home field, if you desire a more thorough knowledge of the Word of God, if you de sire Chri stian fellowship of the highest order, if you des ire opportunities for study and practice unex celled in any other place of study, then consider The Bible Institute of Los Angeles as your school home for the next few years.

LIFE PURPOSE "Commit thy works unto Jehovah , and thy purposes shall be established. "
-Proverbs 16:3 R.V.
"Clear perception and strong conviction will lead to definite usefulness ." "O matchless honor, all unsought, High privilege, surpassing thought That thou shouldst call us, Lord, to be Linked in work-fellowship with thee."-OLIVE B. TAYLOR. LIFE INVESTMENT "A man 's gift maketh room for him , and bringeth him before great men. " ln other words , there are open doors of service for young people who are prepared. Some young Christians are anxious to get into service before they are fully equipped, and thus fall short of the maximum of life's usefulness and the glory of God 's perfect plan. We mai ntain at Biola a tra ining school for Christian workers with an emphasis upon the One Book. Through this training, young people are fitted for definite Christian service at home or abroad.-WALTER R. HALE. SPIRITUAL GROWTH "But grow in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. " II Peter 3.18. The Bible Institute affords an opportunity for the spiritual growth and development of the Christian life: in the classroom through a study of the Word of God; in the dormitory by appropriating the precious lesson s taught. Living together presents many opportunities for developing Christian graces. Here love , patience , and kindness are daily demonstrated. -Matilda BOEHMER.

EDUCATIONAL STAFF The fruit of a school largely depends upon the leadership of its faculty. The Institute has brought together in its staff men and women not only possessed of high Christian ideals, an aptitude for teaching, and academic preparation, but also sacrificial in spirit, and personally dedicated to the task of training youth for Christian service. It is the delight of these teachers to give God 's holy Word its rightful place of pre eminence in the classroom, to exalt the One who is the central theme of that Book, and to emphasize the place and power of prayer both in study and in everyday living. May you join with them in daily petition that faith may be added to virtue , "and to virtue knowledge; and to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness; and to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity." "The fear of th e Lord i s the beginning of knowledge." -Proverbs 1:7.

CHRISTIAN EDUCATION COLLEGIATE COURSE Perhaps never in the history of the Church has there been such an imperative need for efficient, trained Chr istian leadership, especially among young people. The inroads of the world have been ines timably great. But the gospel of Jesus Christ is still the "power of God unto salvation", and the sense of hunger for One who can satisfy the heart and meet every human need is increasing, rather than decreasing, among the youth of the land. With this in mind , the Bible Institute has sought to enlarge its horizon , and now offers a four year course designed especially for leaders of youth. This course leads to the degree of Bachelor of Christian Education. A minimum of 124 units is required for graduation, of which one unit each semester is given for practical work. The ability to play 5 s imple hymns is a graduation requiremen'.. Those qualifying for this degree have found open doors of service as Directors of Young People 's work , Child Evangelism, etc. in churches throughout the land.
