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.
