THE OBJECT OF THE INSTITUTE

"Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth ." -II Tim. 2:15

T HE 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, and building them up in Christ- likeness. 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 fi lling with the Holy Spirit. Great emphasis is laid upon the development of the spiritual 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 vital point. The study of music is made a prominent 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 course prepares students for the work of the singing evangelist, it is not intended for any one who simply wishes education in music. 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-winning service.

DOCTRINAL POSITION OF THE INSTITUTE T HE BIBLE INSTITUTE seeks to co-operate with all evangelical denominations. It has no purpose or thought of forming a new denomination. The Institute recognizes and rejoices in the great good that is being accomplished by the churches of the different denominations, and seeks to help them to do even more efficient work. It desires and cultivates the fellowship and co-operation of all the evangelical denominations and of individual believers in all the churches. While there is a church worshiping on the Lord's Day in the auditorium of the Bible Institute, that church is an entirely separate organization and is no part of the Institute. The directors and teachers of the Institute are chosen without regard to their denominational affiliation, and have always represented a number of different denominations an,d thus is strictly Interdenominational. The Institute, however, does stand for a definite doctrinal statement of faith. All its teachers and directors, regardless of denominational affiliation, are required once a year to sign the Statement of Faith. All moneys contributed to the Institute will be held inviolable for the teaching of these truths. The Institute is under moral and legal obligation to do this, and permis- sion to teach what is contrary to these truths would be a violation of its Constitution.

STATEMENT OF FAITH I.

The Bible, consisting of all the books of the Old and New Testaments, is the word of God, a supernaturally given .revelation from God Himself, concerning Him self, His being, nature, character, will and purposes; and concerning man, his nature, need, duty and destiny. The Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments are without error or misstatement in their moral and spiritual teachings and record of historical facts. They are without error or defect of any kind. II. There is one God, eternally existing and manifesting Himself to us in three Per sons-Father, Son and Holy Spirit. III. The Lord Jesus was supernaturally conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit and born of a virgin-Mary, a lineal descendant of David. He lived and taught and wrought mighty works and wonders and signs, exactly as is recorded in the four Gospels. He was put to death by crucifixion, under Pontius Pilate. God raised from the dead the body that had been nailed to the cross . The Lord Jesus after His cruci fixion showed Himself alive to His d isciples, appearing unto them by the space of forty days. After this the Lord Jesus ascended into Heaven, and the Father caused Him to sit at His right hand in the heavenly places, far above all rule and authority and power and dominion. and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come, and put all things in subjection under His feet, and gave Him to be Head over all things to the Church. IV. The Lord Jesus, before His incarnation, existed in the form of God, and of His own choice la id aside His divine glory and took upon Himself the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men. In His pre-existent state, He was with God and was God. He is a divine person, possessed of all the attributes of Deity, and should be worshipped as God by angels and men. "In Him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily." All the words that He spoke during His earthly life were the words of God. There is absolutely no error of any kind in them, and by the words of Jesus Christ the words of all other teachers must be tested.

V. The Lord Jesus became in every respect a real man, possessed of all the essential characteristics of human nature. VI. By His death upon the cross, the Lord Jesus made a perfect atonement for sin, by which ·the wrath of God against sinners is appeased, and a ground furnished upon which God can deal in mercy with sinners. He redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse in our place. He Who Himself was absolutely without sin, was made to be sin on our behalf, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him. The Lord Jesus is coming again to this earth, personally, bodily, and visibly. The return of our Lord is the blessed hope of the believer, and in it God's purposes of grace toward mankind will find their consummation. VII. The Holy Spirit is a person and is possessed of all the distinctively divine attributes. He is God. VIII. Man was created in the image of God, after His likeness, but the whole human race ·fell in the fall of the first Adam. All men, until they accept the Lord Jesus as their personal Saviour, are lost, darkened in their understanding, alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, hardened in heart, morally and spiritually dead through their trespasses and sins. They cannot see, nor enter the Kingdom of God until they are born again of the Holy Spirit. IX. Men are justified on the simple and single ground of the shed blood of Christ, and upon the simple and single condition of faith in Him Who shed the blood, and are born again by the quickening, renewing, cleansing work of the Holy Spirit through the instrumentality of the Word of God. x. All those who receive Jesus Christ as their Saviour and their Lord, and who confess Him as such before their fellow men, become children of God, and receive eternal life. They become heirs of God and joint heirs with Jesus Christ. At death their spirits depart to be with Christ in conscious blessedness, and at the second coming of Christ, their bodies shall be raised and transformed into the likeness of the body of His glory. XI. All those who persistently reject Jesus Christ in the present life shall be raised from the dead, and throughout eternity exist in a state of conscious, unutterable, endless torment and anguish. XII. The Church consists of all those who, in this present dispensation, truly believe on Jesus Christ. It is the body and bride of Christ, which Christ loves, and for which He has given Himself up. XIII. There is a personal devil, a being of great cunning and power, "The prince of the power of the air," "The prince of this world," "The god of this age." He can exert his vast power only so far as God suffers him to do so. He shall ultimately be cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, and shall be tormented day and night forever.

FOR WHOM INTENDED

The Institute trains men and women in the thorough knowledge and effective practical use of the English Bible. It is intended for all men and women who wish to secure the most thorough knowledge possible of the Word of God and who desire to use it in any form of Christian activity. There are, however, special classes of men and women, to meet whose need the Bible Institute is especially adapted: 1. Men who are called of God into the ministry of His Word. It was not the intention of Mr. Moody, when he founded the first Bible Institute in this country, to train men for the pastorate, but after a few years' experience it was found that very many of its graduates did find their way, sooner or later, into the pastorate . The course of training given in the Institute is not planned to supplant that of the theological seminary in preparing men for the ministry; but for more than a quar ter of a century men who have taken thi s course have proved its worth in pastorates at home and in the mission fields abroad, where they have made, and are making splendid records as heralds of the Gospel and winners of men for Christ. 2. Graduates of colleges and theological seminaries who desire to supplement the knowledge obtained in college and seminary by a more thorough study of the English Bible, practical methods of aggressive Christian work, and the most effective methods of teaching the Bible. 3. Young men and women who wish to train for the educational work of the church--e.g., D.irectors of Christian ·Education, Girls' Workers, Boys' Worke rs, Pas tors' Assistants, etc. The importance of this work is being increasingly recognized, and to meet the need we are offering a highly specialized course in Christian Educa tion-a course evangelical in point of view and thoroughly pedagogical and practical in mcthod. - 4. Men and women who are planning to go to the foreign mission field. Hun dreds of men and women who have been trained in the Bible Institute of Los Angeles are now doing effective work in the foreign field. 5. Foreign missionaries home on furlough. Many of those who have had expe rience in the field wish during their days of furlough to increase their knowledge of the Bible and the methods of Christian work now in use. Not infrequently they find that there is no place so well adapted for this purpose as the Bible Institute. 6. Men and women preparing for various forms of Christian work such as evan gelists, sing ing evangelists, superintendents of Christian institutions, Sunday school workers, assistant pastors, church visitors, city mission workers, rescue mission workers. 7. Men and women who do not intend to give their whole time to definite forms of Christian service, but who desire fuller knowledge of the Bible and practical methods of work, in order that they may be more useful in their home churches. Large numbers of men and women have gone through the Bible Institute with no intention of giving their entire life to definite Christian work. Not a few of these afterwards have gone into the pastorate and other forms of Christian service, but many of them have gone back to their churches to be a help to their pastors and to the Christian life of their communities. 8. Men already in the ministry who feel the need of a more thorough, accurate and practical knowledge of the English Bible. An ever increasing number of men who have had successful experience in the ministry are coming to the Bible Institute to take advantage of its facilities for equipment for increasing usefulness.

INFORMATION FOR PROSPECTIVE STUDENTS

A.PPLICATION FOR ADMISSION Persons desiring to enroll as students of the Bible Institute should write for an application form to the Superintendent of Men or Women, as the case may be. Directions concerning filling it out should be followed explicitly. No one is accepted as a student until after the references given by him have been heard from. Applicants should not present themselves at the Institute expecting to be received as students until notified of their acceptance. ARRIVING IN LOS ANGELES Several lines of railroads enter Los Angeles, coming in at different stations. It · is impossible to meet students at the trains. Incoming students, however, should notify the Superintendent of Men or Women, as the case may be, as to the time their train is scheduled to arrive in Los Angeles, and also the road over which they are traveling. We advise that women unaccompanied take a Yellow Cab from depot to the Institute, 558 South Hope Street. Present rate from Santa Fe Depot is fifty-five cents; from Southern Pacific, forty-five cents. Immediately upon arrival at the Institute, men should report to the Superintendent of Men, and Women to the Superintendent of Women. ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS Young men and women making application for admission to the Institute should be at least eighteen years of age, and in reasonably sound health. All appl icants desiring the diploma of the Institute must have completed the high school course or its equivalent. One lacking such educational standard may be enrolled as a student without the assurance of graduation, until such time as he may be qualified . A thorough college course is desirable. For Christian service the best possible preparation ought to be secured. All applicants for admission to the Institute must be of approved Christian char acter, and should have. at least one year of Christian experience. They should mani fest a genuine love for souls. They must be willing to do hard work and submit to discipline and order. Students expecting to enter the Institute should plan on doing so at the begin ning of a semester either in September or in February, preferably in September. Students are accepted on trial, and if for any reason they are found unadapted for Christian work they may be asked to withdraw at any time. TUITION There is no charge for tuition except in the case of private music lessons, voice and piano. Those desiring to pursue work along these lines will be referred to the Music office for assignment to one of our Music Instructors, whose charges for private lessons are reasonable, and to whom the student makes payment direct. REGISTRATION FEE There is a registration fee of $10.00 each semester, payable on registration day before the student's class schedule is made out. The Cashier's receipt must be pre sented to the Registrar. No fee is refunded in case of a student leaving before the end of a semester. The registration fee takes care of such expenses as the maintenance of the Student Employment Bureau, Hospital Fund and the service of the School

Nurse in cases not requmng hospital care. Where the student must go to a hos pital, the Fund will defray the charge for room and board in one of the best hospitals in the city, to an amount not exceeding $80.00. This does not include physicians' fees, charges for surgical operations, ambulance service, or medicines. Maternity cases, or illness due to chronic conditions existing before entering the Institute, or acci dents due to carelessness or recklessness, will not entitle a student to the privileges of the Fund. In case of an epidemic the Fund will be used as far as it will go, when a further contribution will be necessary. EXPENSE OF ROOM AND BOARD The present rate for room and board is $8 .25 a week, payable in advance. Owing to the uncertainty of market conditions, this rate is subject to change from time to time. The Institute aims to charge students only the actual cost for board and room. The rooms in the Institute are single rooms, comfortably furnished, lighted, heated and supplied with running water, hot and cold. The Institute suppli es the linens and launders the same. Students take care of their rooms. Excellent table board is pro vided in the Institute dining room. EMPLOYMENT AND FINANCIAL AID Students entering fo r the first time must have sufficient funds to carry them through at least the fi rst semester, approximately $160.00 for board and room. Pro vision should also be made for personal expend itures beyond this amount . For the benefit of students needing some help in defraying their expenses, the In stitute maintains a Student Employment Bureau, through which many students are placed in positions for part time work. Many st udents can give two or three hours a day to remunerative employment in stores and restaurants, and by carefully budget ing their time can maintain their standing in classes. Where considerable time is necessary in employment the student may be required to take a reduced schedule and thus prolong his time of study at the Institute before grad uation. Definite regulations regarding hours of employment will be found in the Students' Handbook. ADVANCED STANDING Those who have completed work in another accred ited Bible Institute, seminary, college or university, may apply for advanced standing, even if the courses are not in all cases the exact equivalent of those given in the Bible Institute of Los Angeles. The Registrar will give an approximate eva luati on to such work. A definite evalua tion of credits for wo rk done in other institutions w ill not be made until the close of the first semester of residence in the Bible Institute, since it is the policy of the school not to enroll students as candidates for a degree, diploma or certificate· until the end of their first semester. The evaluation made at this time may later be modified in case of the failure of a student to complete advanced courses with sat isfactory grades. REQUIREMENTS FOR GRADUATION Diplomas will be granted upon the following condition s: 1. Two to four years' resident work in Los Angeles, with requisite residence in the Institute, according to requirements of course and recognition on completion of course pursued. The regular schedu le calls for fifteen curricular hours of classroom work per week. Th is allows fifteen semester hours credit each semester. Two non curricular credits are allowed for . practical work, making a total of seventeen hours each semester, or thirty-four each year. For g raduation from a two-year course, a minimum of sixty-four credits is required; for a three-year course, a minimum of ninety-six; and for a four-year course, a minimum of 128 credit hours.

Note- Thecourses of the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago being almost identical with those of the Bible Institute of Los Angeles, it is possible to grant stu dents of that institution equal credit for studies taken there, and also to grant equal allowances for residence there to the extent of one year. 2. Approved Christian character. 3. Commendable zeal in practical Christian work. 4. Proficiency in English. 5. Passing grades in all the required work. 6. Soundness in doctrine, to be determined by the faculty. CERTIFICATE-For thos·e who have covered the work of a two or three year course, but who have not met the full requirements for a DIPLOMA of the Institute-a CER TIFI CATE will be awarded . On the completion of the full requirements and the surrender of the certificate, the holder will be entitled to the Diploma of the Institute according to the Course of Study pursued . INSTRUCTION IN ENGLISH Beginning with the Fall Semeste r, 1931, instruction in English became a required subj ect for all students who have not completed Engli sh fo r a four-year high school course or its equi vale nt, a nd who expect to receive the diploma of the Institute. For such students it will be necessary to prolong their stay in order to complete the regular work of the Institute in addition to their requirement in English .
