BIBLE INSTITUTE OF LOS ANGELES
as well as their religious life, should seize the present oppor tunity at any cost. This city is not only a place of unparalleled advantages for the study of the Word of God, but also for the use of the Word in saving men, while it is being studied. Students will find here an opportunity to work among people of European nations, and also among the Spanish speaking people of Mexico, Central and South America, and among Koreans, Chinese, Japanese and Hindoos.

They are within a stone's throw of the Biltmore Hotel, now in process of erection, and to have one thousand rooms and to cost $7,000,000, and only one block from the largest retail store in the city.
