THE BIBLE INSTITUTE OF LOS ANGELES

The Object of the Institute The Institute aims, in its training of all classes for whom it is intended, to send out men and women having at least these seven characteristics: 1. Genuine and thorough consecration. 2. Intense love for souls. 3. A deep and comprehensive knowledge of the Word of God, and especially of how to use it in leading men to Christ. 4. Willingness to endure hardness as good soldiers of Jesus Christ. 5. Untiring energy. 6. Well balanced common sense, especially along religious lines. 7. Enduement with power by the filling with the Holy Spirit. Great emphasis is laid upon the development of the spir­ itual life of the student. If any student should go from the school without a more intimate, personal acquaintance with Jesus Christ, or without more of the power of the Holy Spirit in his life and work, the Institute would have failed in his case at the most important point. The study of music is made an important feature of the Institute training, so that men and women may be prepared to teach music and lead choirs, and assist otherwise in this important department of Christian work. While the Institute music conrse prepares students for the work of the singing evangelist, it is not intended for any one who simply wishes a music education. The music work of the Institute is always made subordinate to the study of the Bible, and music is taught only as a means of qualifying one for more effective soul-win­ ning service. All lectures and classes are free to registered students of every creed and denomination. There is a nominal registra­ tion fee of $1.00 a term, payable in advance. Persons not regularly enrolled as students, who wish to gain a better knowledge of the Bible and acquire a proficiency in Christian work, are welcome to many of the classes.
