Advantages and Privileges 1. The fir st advantage of th e Institute is found in its corps of teache r s. men and women who have been specialists for many yea r s in the study of th e one Book, the Bible, and who haYe had many yea rs' experi ence in teaching that Book, some of them not onl y in Ameri ca, but in fo reign lands. Those now teacl1;11g at the Bible Inst itut e of Los Angel es have as sisted in fr aming the course of study in other Bible Institutes, now in success ful operati on, before coming to Los Angeles. T hese t eachers a re so well known to Chri st ians in all lands that there is no need to dwell here upon the ir qualifications for th e work . 2. T he second adva ntage o f the B;ble Institute of Los Angeles is found in its locati on. There is probably no more healthful climate in all the world t han that of this city. The stud ent here i free from all the phys ical stra in that one is necessaril y under. either in summer or winter, in most large citi es in other ·secti ons of the U nited States . Many coming t o Los Angeles in run-cl own phys ical condit ion, soon regain abou nding health. But th is is not the only advantage in the location of the Bible Inst itute in this cit\·. It is doubtful if there is any other city on the g lobe whe re there is at the present time so g rea t a need on the one hand , and on the other so g reat an opportun:ty and promi se , fo r sound and solid Bibl e work a ncl aggressiYe Chri stian effo rt. ;-,; o one who has not lived in Los Angeles and studi ed the city and its inhabitants, its loca tion , resources and growth , has any concepti on of its present g rea tn ess. ancl much less of its futur e poss ibiliti es . It has not onl y th e matchl ess climate to wh ;ch reference has already been made. but also its man·elously fer t il e so il. its rich mines, its cheap fu el, a ncl a cit izenshi p of rare qua li ty. In add ition to thi s, the opening of the Panama Cana l. and the proximi ty of the California Coast to the O r ;ent. a ll mark Los Angeles as a city of dest; ny. =---:ot onl y does l,os A n_geles already dominate the Pacifi c Coast. but it s influence upon Japan, Chi na and Ko rea, is immeasurabl e fo r good or eYil. This is the criti cal hour. and those who beli eve in the Bible and its matchless power to influence. not only indiYiduals, bu t also society as a whole, and the commerc ial li fe of nati ons as well as their re li gious ]ife, should seize the p resent opportunity at a ny cost .

5. A furth er advantage is fo und in the opportuni ty for recreation. A ll the ocean beaches are access ible by street car lines. Some of them can be reached in half an hour and others o f them in an hour. l\1t . Lowe and Mt. \ i\fil son can be reached by trolley . T he students on their rest clay s take many outings together , and part ies needing res t go to the seas hore or moun ta in resort s. Devotional Life "That was a great lack in my school lif e," said one who is growing old in Chri stian service, when the clernt ional Ii fe of the Inst itute wa s under di scuss ion. It wa s a joy to be able to give the assurance of ampl e attent ion to it here. It begins with the awaken;ng of the clay. One hour is allowed between the ri sing bell and the breakf ast bell fo r dressing and the qui et hour period- an opport unity to look to God before looking upon men . Dur ing the superin tendent s' half hour immed iately fo ll owing the morn ing meal, the men and women gather together in the two rooms respectively assigned for morn ing devoti on. for a season of prayer and devotional study of the \Vo rel. The super intendent s, pres ide at this sess ir.n bringing whatever message fo r the day that Goel may have g iven them. The students assemble again at the close of the evening meal, for a season of praye r and testimony. The students themseh·es ha\·e charge of this sen· ice, beino- ass igned in turn by the superintendent s. Another da ily feature of g reat helpfulness is the co rr; do r praye r mee ting. The students on each co rridor gather in a student's room at whatever hour is mos t c01w enient to discuss their perplex ing personal prob lems and to present them to God fo r soluti on. It is here that, definiteness in prayer is lea rned , as perhaps at no other gather ing.

For Whom Intended The obj ect of the Institute, stated in general terms, is t o train men and women in the thorough knowledge and effective pract ical use of the Engli sh Bible, and it is therefore intended fo r all men and women who wish to get the most thorough knowledge possible of the \,Vorel of Goel and to use it in any fo rm of Christian activity. T here are, however, special classes of men and women, to meet whose need the Bible I nst itute is especially adapted: 1. Men who a re call ed of God into the m;ni stry of H is \ ,Vo rel . I t was not the intent ion of l\ Ir. Moody when he founded the fir st Bi bl e In stitute in thi s count ry, to train men for the pastorate, but after a few yea rs' experience it was found that very many of its graduates did find the ir way, sooner or late r, into the pastorate . T he cour se of training given in the Institute is not planned to supplant that of t he theological seminary in prepar ing men for the mini st1-y; but fo r more than a quarter of a century men who have taken t hi s course have proved its worth in pastorates at home and in the miss ion f ields abroad , where they ha ve made, and a re making splendid record s as hera lds of the JOspel and winner s of men for Chri st. Thi s course is compl eted in three years. (See pages 44 and 50 fo r detail s. ) 2. Graduates of coll eges and theological seminari es who des ire to suppl ement the knowledge obtained in college and seminary by a more thorough study of the English B;ble, prac tical method s of aggress ive Chr ist ian work, and the most eff ective method s of teaching the Bible. 3. Men and women who are plann ing to go to the for eign mi ss ion field.

The Denominational and Doctrinal Position of the Bible Institute
T he B ible Institute does not antago ni ze any evangeli cal denominati on, but seeks to cooperate with them all . It has no purpose or thought of fo rming a new denominati on. The Institute recogni zes and r ejo;ces in the g reat good that is bei ng accomplished by the churches of the different denominations, and seeks to help them to do e\·en more eff icient work. It des ires and cul tivates the fe ll owship and co-operati on of all the evangelical denomination s and of indiv idual believer s in all the churches . , ,vh;le there is a church worsh ipping on the Lord 's Day in the Auditorium · of th e Bible Inst itute, that church is an entirely separate organi zat ion, and the Institute does not require nor expect that students coming to the Insti tute will become membe rs of that chu rch . T he church is open to those who desi re to become member s of it, but it ·is expect ed that the students of th e Bible l11stitute 7.11"/l be loyal lo the de no111i11ation to ·which they belong . T he d irecto r s and teachers of the Inst itute are chosen without rega rd to their denomina tiona l affi li ation, and have always represented a number of different denom ination s. Among those represented on the Faculty and Board of Directors of the Bible Insti tute of the presen t or the past, may be menti oned members of the fo ll owing denom inations : l\.fethod ist Episcopal, P resbyte ri an , U nited P resbyterian, Cong regat;onal. Lutheran, Bapt ist , Ep iscopal, Chri stian, U nited Evangelical. Howeve r, the Institute does stand fo r a defi ni te doctr inal statement of faith, and a ll its teachers and d irector s, regard less of denominational affiliati on. are requ ired once a yea r to sign the Statement of Faith . ( See next page.) A ll moneys cont ri bu ted to the Insti tute \•di be held in viol able fo r the teach ing of these truths. Fa; lure to insist upon the promulgation of these trut hs, or t he permi ss ion of teach ing cont ra ry to thi s statement of beli ef, wou ld constitute ground fo r sui t fo r the reversion of the money contri buted to the or igina l donor s or heirs .

Statement of Faith I.
The Bible, consist;ng of all the books of the O ld and New T estament s, is the \!'lord of Goel, a supernaturally g iven revela tion from God Himself , concern ing Himself , His being, nature, character, will and purposes ; and concerning man , hi s nature, need, du ty and dest; ny . The Scri ptures of t he Old and New Testament s a re without error or ni isstatement in the ir moral and spiritual teachings and r ecord of histor ical facts. T hey are without error or defect of any kind. II. There is one Goel, eternall y existing and rnani fest ing H im self to us in tlwee Persons-Father, Son and Holy Spirit. III. The Lord J esus was supernatu rally conceived by the power of the Holy Spir it and born of a virg in- lVIa ry, a lineal de scendant of DaYicl. He lived and taught and wrought mighty work s and wonders and signs, exac tl y as is recorded in the four gospels. He was put to dea th by cru cifi x ion under Pontius P il ate. Goel rai sed from the dead the body that had been nail ed to t he cross. The Lord Jesus af ter H is crucifix ion showed Himself a live to H is d isciples, appeari ng unto them by the space of fo rty clays . Af ter thi s the Lord Jesus ascended into Heaven, and t he Father caused Him to sit a t His right hand in the heavenl y places, fa r above a ll rule and authority and power and dominion and every name that is named, not onl y in thi s world , but also in t hat wh'ch is to come, and put a ll things in subjecti on under Hi s feet , and gave H irn to be Head ove r all things to the Church. IV. T he Lord Jesus, befo re Hi s incarnat ion, existed in the form of Goel , and of H is own choice la id as ide His d; vi ne glory and took upon, H imself the fo rm of a ser vant , and was made in the likeness of men .
