BIBLE INSTITUTE OF LOS ANGELES
The Hall is light , cheery, and we ll equipped for defi nite, personal, evangelistic work. Meetings are held in the entrance of the hall, which is so arranged that at leas t fifty men can gather from the street, without interfe ring -with the traf fic and on our own premises. An audience can be secured in five minutes at any time of the day or night, thus providing the bes t place fo r personal work we have ever had . Num bers of men are brought to Christ each day. Tn connection with thi s work, a noon-day praye r meeting is held, and a Men' s Bible Class on Sunday afternoon. The hundreds of young men who are coming to th e city affo rd us an unu sua l opportunity of reaching them at the crucial time. This is a real traini11g school for the practical work of learning how to preach by preaching.

Horton a systematic and inspi rational study of the Bible was begun. A few months passed and the class grew in numbers, until in the summer of 1906 it was organized under the name of the "Fishermen' s Club,. , ( See i\fatthew --1- :1 9) and now has an attendance of between two and three hundred.
