THE BIBLE INSTITUTE OF LOS ANGELES
Advantages and Privileges 1. The first advantage of the Institute is found in its corps of teachers, men and women who have been specialists for many years in the study of the one Book, the Bible, and who have had many years' experience in teaching that Book, some of them not only in America, but in foreign lands. Those now teaching at the Bible Institute in Los Angeles have form ulated the course of study in other Bible Institutes and put them in successful operation before coming to Los Angeles. These teachers are so well known to Christians in all lands that there is no need to dwell here upon their qualifications for the work. 2. The second advantage of the Bible Institute of Los Angeles is found in its location. There is probably no more healthful climate in all the world than that of this city. The student here is free from all the physical strain that one is necessarily under, either in summer or winter, in most large cities, especially in the East or Middle West or Northwest. Many coming to Los Angeles in run-down physical condition, soon regain abounding health. But this is not the only advan tage in the location of the Bible Institute in this city. It is doubtful if there is any other city on the globe where there is at the present time so great a need on the one hand, and on the other so great an opportunity and promise, for sound and solid Bible work and aggressive Christian effort. No one who has not lived in Los Angeles and studied the city and its inhabitants, its location, resources and growth, has any con ception of its present greatness, and much less of its future pos sibilities. It has not only the matchless climate to which reference has already been made, but also its marvelously fer tile soil, its rich mines, its cheap fuel, and a citizenship of rare quality. In addition to this, the opening of the Panama Canal, and the proximity of the California Coast to the Orient, all mark Los Angeles as a city of destiny. Not only does Los Angeles already dominate the Pacific Coast, but its influence upon Japan, China and Korea, is immeasurable for good or evil. This is the critical hour, and those who believe in the Bible and its matchless power to influence, not only individuals,
