5. The abi lity to live and cooperate with fellow Chri s tians. 6. Enduement with power by the fi ll ing with the Holy Spirit.

Specifically, there are certain practices which are contrary to the standards of the Bible Institute, and from which, therefore, all students are to refrain as long as they remain students: the use of alcoholi c liquor and tobacco in any form, attendance at theaters, dancing, card playing, and gambling in any form.
