BIBLE INSTITUTE OF LOS ANGELES

The Spanish Work A competent, consecrated worker, with a real love for the Spanish people, is maintained to labor among the Spanish­ speaking people of the city and surrounding towns including the many camps composed of Mexican laborers. The work consists of personal interviews, with Bible classes and Gospel meetings where possible, as a result of which very many have been brought out of darkness into the glorious light of the Gospel of Christ. The Shop Work In the shops, factories , car barns and fire engine houses, hundreds of men are found whose circumstances form an al­ most insurmountable barrier to their attendance upon regular church services, and among these our evangel ists hold Gospel meetings on week-days and press the claims of the Lord Jesus Christ upon men, many of. whom become Christians of the sturdiest type. Seaman's Work of the Bible Institute Our Pacific ports are teeming with the traffic of the world. Ships hailing from South America, Mexico, Europe, Asia, China, Japan, Australia and the is lands of the sea, with crews, immigrants, travelers of all races, pass to and fro from all parts of the globe. Recognizing this great opportunity and responsibility, we have entered on the task of evangelizing this cosmopolitan throng. We are all obligated to the sailor. His life is one of privations, peculiar hardship and peril, physically, morally and spiritually. No class is more neglected; none more re­ sponsive to and grateful for our efforts. The work is in charge of an especially efficient and com­ petent Superintendent, upon whose labors the blessing of God has rested in abundant measure. The aim is to reach every man on board with the Gospel, and to provide them with the Scriptures and other Chris tian literature free of charge. Serv­ ices are held whenever and wherever possible on all vessels, and many personal interviews are had. The worker does not wait on shore for the men to come
