THE BIBLE INSTITUTE OF LOS ANGELES
Evangelistic Department
Neglected Fields All around us are churchless communities in which neither Sunday School nor preaching services are maintained. It is our purpose, so far as we can, to supply these "regions beyond" where Christ is not made known. We trust that the Lord will use our well prepared and trustworthy students in many such places. The Oil Fields California's leading industry is found in the abundance of its oi l producing wells. Throughout the State the stately der ricks are a sign of industry and a signal for service to those who desire to reach the neglected classes. To the men in these fields we have been permitted to minister through our evange lists, and although the work has been arduous, calling for much of self-sacrifice and deprivation, the fruitage has been rich. The prejudice of some who suspected the sincerity of our men on such a mission, has been dissipated, and they have been accorded a generous reception. Men have confessed Christ and have commenced to testify. Testaments, Gospels and tracts have been widely distributed, and many of the men have subscribed for "The King's Business," our monthly maga zine, with a view of continuing Bible study. How would you like to qualify for such a mission? The Spanish Mission There are thousands of Mexicans in Los Angeles and vi cinity. God in His providence has brought them from the land of Roman Catholic bondage to the land of the Bible. They are here to be evangelized. The Gospel is the power of God and this finds its illus tration in the many conversions among them. Nearly fifteen hundred Mexicans lodge in the vicinity of the Plaza in this city, some twenty thousand Mexicans being located in and around Los Angeles, and the personnel is constantly changing.
