THE
ANGELES
BIBLE INSTITUTE OF LOS
We have opened a hall on the water front and have put in charge a thoroughly experienced mission man, and think this will be one of the best opportunities we have ever had to reach large numbers of men . The Extension Work The Institute has been able to do a large work in its Evan gelistic Department through its own evangelists, and special Bible teachers.

The class has continued meeting each Monday evening without a single interruption from that day until now. There has been strict adherence to the principle of striving for a single object, viz., the study of God's Word, and the doing of active, aggressive personal work for the Lord Jesus Christ. In these ten years, 100 men have gone out from the Club into definite Christian work.
