For Whom Intended The object of the Inst itute. stated in general terms, is to trai n men and women in the thorough knowledge and effective practical use of the English Bible, and it is therefore intended for all men and women who wi sh to get the most thorough knowledge possible of the \ \'orcl of Goel and to use it in any form of Christian activity. There are, however, special classes of men and women, to meet whose need the Bible Inst itute is especially adapted: 1. Men who are ca ll ed of Goel into the ·m;nistry of His \Ya rd . It wa s not the intention of Mr. Moody when he founded the fir st Bible In stitute in this country, to train men for the pastorate, but after a few years' experience it was found that very many of its graduates did find their way, sooner or later, into the pastorate. The course of trai ni ng given in the Institute is not planned to supplant that of the theolog ical seminary in preparing men for the mini st ry; but for more than a quarter of a century men who have taken thi s course haYe proved its worth in pastorates at home and in the mission fields abroad, where they have made, and are making splendid record s as herald s of the Gospel and winners of men for Christ. This course is completed in three yea rs. (See pages 52 and 58 for details.) 2. Graduates of colleges and theological seminaries who desire to supplement the knowledge obtained in coll ege and seminary by a more thorough study of the English B;ble, prac tical method s of aggressive Chr istian work, and the most effective methods of teaching the Bible. 3. :\Ten and women who are planning to go to the for eign mi ss ion f ield.
