B IBLE INSTITUTE
Advantages and Privileges 1. The fir st advantage of the Tn stitute is found in its corps o f t eacher s. men and women who have been specia li sts for ma ny years in the stud y of the one Book , the Bibl e, and who have had many years ' expe ri ence in t eaching that Book, some of them not onl y in Ameri ca, bu t in fo reig n land s. Those now teach;ng at the Bible Institute of Los A nge les have as sisted in framin g the course of study in other Bibl e Institutes, now in success ful operati on , before coming to L os Angeles . These t eacher s are so well known to Chri stians in all land s that there is no need to dwell here upon their quali f icati ons for the work. 2. The second ach ·a ntag-e of the B ;bl e Institute of L os Angeles is found in it s locati on. There is probably no more hea lthful clima te in a ll the wor ld tha n that of t hi s c ity . The student here is fr ee from a ll th e phy ica l stra in tha t one is necessa ril y unde r , e ithe r in summe r or wint er . in most la rgr cit ies in ot her sec ti ons o f the u nited Stales .
