THE PLATFORM OF THE AUD ITOR IUM
THE AUDITORIUM FROM THE PLATFORM
OF
LOS ANGELES
BIBLE INSTITUTE
Advantages and Privileges l. The fir st advantage of the Inst itute is found in its corps of teachers. men and women who have been specialists fo r many yea r s in the study o f the one Book, the Bible, a nd who haye had many years' exper ience in teaching that Book, some of them not onl y in America, but in fore ign lands. Those now teach;ng at the Bible Institute of Los Angeles have as sisted in framing the cou rse of stud y in other Bible Institutes, now in success ful o_pe rati on. before corning to I .os Angeles. These teachers are so well known to Chri stian s in all land s that th ere is no need to dwell here upon their qualificati ons for the work. 2. The second advantage of the B;ble In st itute of Los Angeles is found in its locati on. There is probably no mort healthful climate in all the world than that of thi s city. The stud ent here is fr ee from all th e phys ical strain that one i5 necessarily under, either in summer or winter. in most large· cit ies in other secti ons of th e U nited States. J\ '[any corning to Los Angeles in run-clown physical condition. soon rega;n abounding health. But thi s is not the onl y ach·antage in the location of the Bible Inst itute in thi s city. It is doubtful if there is any other city on the globe where there is at the present t ime so g reat a need on the one hand , and on th e other so g reat an opportun;ty and promise, fo r sound and solid Bible work and agg ress ive Chri stian effort. No one who has not lived in Los Angeles and studi ed the city and its inhabitants, its loca ti on. resources and growth, has any concept ion of its present greatness, and much less of its future possibilities. It has not on ly the matchl ess climate to wh; ch reference has already been made, but also its ma rvelously f ertil e soil , its ri ch mines, its cheap fuel , and a citi zenship of rare qua lity . In addition to thi s, th e opening of the Panama Canal , and the proximity of the Ca li fo rnia Coast to the O r; ent, all mark Los Angeles as a city of dest; ny. Not only does Los Angeles already dominat!'" the Pacifi c Coast. but its in fluen ce upon Japan, China and Korea. is immeasurable for good or evil. This is the critical hour. and those who beli eve in the Bible and its matchl ess power to influence, not onl y indi vidual s, but also society as a whole, and the commercial lif e of nati ons as well as their re ligi ous li fe, should seize the present opportunity at am· cost.

The third ach·antage is founcl in the huil cl ;ngs ;rnd equ ipment . The Bible In st itute has two dormitories . one for men and one for women . Each of these buildings is f ifteen stori es high. including basement and sub-ba sement. and abso lu teh· ii re-proof . There are OYe r 600 rooms. with hot and cold water. ,team heat, ancl elect ri c l;ght in eYe ry room.

The Object of the Institute The Institute aims, in its training of all classes fo r whom it ;s in tend ed , to send out men and women having at least these seYen characteristics: 1. Genuine a nd thorough consecrati on . 2 . Intense love fo r soul s . J. A deep a nd comprehensi\·e knowledge of the \\' ord of Cod, a nd especia ll y of how to use it in leading men to 'hri st . --1-. \ Villingness to endure hardness as good soldi ers of Jesus Chri st. :i . Gn tiring energy. 6. \\' ell bal anced common sense, especia lly along relig ious hi es . 7. E ndu ement with powe r by th e f illing with the Holy Spirit. Great emphasis is laid upon the deYelopment of the spi ritual life of the stud ent. If any stud ent should go fr om th e school without a more intimate, personal acquaintance with J esus Chri st . or wit hout more of the power of the Holy Spir;t in hi s life ancl work, the In st itute would have fai led in hi s case at the Yita i point. The study of mu sic is made a prominent fea ture of the Institute t raining, so that men and women may be prepared to teach mu sic and lead choi rs. a ncl assist otherwise in this important depa rtment of Chri stian wo rk . \\'hil e the In sti tute mu sic course prepa res students fo r the work of the sing ing e\·angeli st . i t is not intended for any one who simply wi shes educat ion in mu s:c. The music work of the In st itute is a lways made subordinate to the study of the B ibl e, a nd music is taught on ly as a means of qua li fy in °· one for more effective soul -w in ning sen ·ice. A ll lectures and classes a re fr ee to registered students of e\·ery c reed and clenominati on. T here is a nom inal registration fee of $2 .00 a semes te r , payable in ach an ce. ( See page :i--1-.)

The Denominational and Doctrinal Position of the Bible Institute
T he Bible Inst itute does not antagonize any evangeli cal denomination, but seeks to cooperate . with them all. It has no purpose or thought of fo rming a new denomi nation. The Institute recogni zes and rejo;ces in the great good that is being accomplished by the churches of the different denominations, and seeks to help them to clo even more eff icient work. It desi res and culti vates the fellowsh ip and co-operati on of all the eva ngelical denominations and of indiYidual believers in all the · churches. vVhde there is a church worshipping on the Lord 's Day in the Auditor ium of the B ible Institute, that church is an entirely sepa rate orga nizati on, and the Institute does not require nor expect tha t stud ents coming to the Insti tnte will become members of that church. The church is open to those who des ire to .]Jecome members of it, but it is e,i·p ected that the students of the Bible Institute will be loyal to the dr- 110111i11atio 11 to i, ,J,iich they brlo11g. T he director s and teacher, of the Institute a re chosen without rega rd to their denomina ti onal affi liat ion, a nd have always represented a number of different denominati ons. Among those represented on the Facu lty and Board of Directors of the B ibl e Institute of the present or the past, may be menti oned members of the fo llowing denominations: l\fethod ist Episcopa l, P resbyterian , U nited Presbyte ri an. Congregat ;onal , L utheran, Bapt ist , Ep iscopal , Chr ist ian , nited Evange li ca l. However . t he Institute does stand for a definite doctr inal statement of fa ith , and all its teachers a nd directors, regardless of denomina t ional affi liation, are required once a yea r to sign the Sta tement of Fa ith.

T he Bible, consisting of all the books of the O ld and New T estaments, is the \Vorel of Goel . a supernaturally g iven revela tion from God Himself , conce rning H imself , Hi s being, na ture. character, will and purposes ; and concerning man , hi s na ture, need. duty and dest;ny .

Goel rai sed from the dead the body that had been nail ed to the cross . The Lord J esus after Hi s crucifi x ion showed Himself ali ve to Hi s di sciples, appearing unto them by the space of forty cl ays . Af ter thi s the Lord J esus ascended into H em·en, and the F a ther caused Him to sit at Hi s right hand in the heavenl y places, far above all rul e and au thority and power and dominion and every name that is named, not onl y in thi s world , but also in that wh:ch is to come, and pu t all things in subj ecti on und er H is fee t , and gave Him to be Head OYe r a ll things to the Church.

It embraces the follow ing subjects : Doctrinal Study of the Bible The Bible is the chi ef textbook of the Bible Jn st itute, but a large numbe r of methods are fo ll owed in study ing the Bible . The funcbmental thing in the teaching o f the B ibl e in the lnstitule is a thoroug h course in the doctrinal content s of the entire B;ble.

II. Bible Synthesis The Srn theti c method of Bible study aims to provide the student with the following : - First : A comprehensiYe g rasp of the general content s of the entire B;ble so that the ma in features of its revelat ion may be seen and ur.cl erstoocl . Second: A bring ing together and summing up of the general contents so that the mutual relat ionships and ha rmony of the component parts are r ecognized . Third: A recognition of the progress iYe character and development of the d ivine re\·elat ion as set fo rth in the1 Scrip tures . Fourth: A knowledge of the di spensa ti ona l teaching of the \\" ore! of Goel. The Synthet ic method pur.-ued by t he class in this study is the reading- beforehand of an appointee! number of chapters in a book of the Bible; indeed . at times, a whole book is read at one sitting . The main sections of the book are then taken up and consiclerecl, and finally the teachino- of t he book is presented in unifi ed fo rm.

It is one thing to ha\·e a con s isten t and constrnct i\'e philosophy of hi story . and quite a nother thing to doctor and reconstruct h isto ry to fit into our pholosophy.
