The S.M.U. sends deputation teams, upon request, to churches and young people's groups in Los Angeles for the purpose of pre­ senting missionary information and the chal­ lenge of Christian service to others, through song and testimony. KING'S DAUGHTERS The young women of Biola rejoice that they are bound together in spiritual fellowship as daughters of the King . At the regular Mon­ day evening meetings of this organization they become better acquainted and enjoy a time of real blessing and inspiration as spe­ cial music and interesting speakers contribute to their devotional service. "K. D. camps" are the special recreational feature of this organization. Twice during the school year the young women leave the crowded city to spend two days in the quiet .of the mountains, enjoying outdoor sports and relaxation. The evening program of stunts, followed by a sing and a testimony meeting around a glowing campfire, is long remem­ bered.

BIOLA MEN The corresponding organization for the men of the school also meets regularly on Monday evenings, and the program of fellowship and devotion is similar to that of the King 's Daughters. The Biola Men also conduct student devotions on Saturday eve­ nings, and a special weekly prayer meeting for the former Biola students now serving in the armed forces of our country. Twice each year the men, also, enjoy an overnight outing known as the Biola Men's Advance, where Christian fellowship is combined with sports and fun. THE DORMITORY Life in almost any dormitory is interesting, but at Biola, where all entrants must be Christian young people, this is especially true. Imagine living under one roof with hundreds of other young people all having a vital interest in the Lord 's work! Here one finds a fellowship both unique and satisfying. Living in close contact with one another, Biola students are given an opportunity to practice the line art of living to­ gether, and to give expression to Christian consideration and helpfulness. "Love one another" has a definite application. Morning and evening devotions are a daily source of strength and inspiration . Immediately alter breakfast, and again before evening study hours, the dormitory fami ly meets for family worship. Corridor prayer meetings, in which the students living in a single corridor, or on an en tire floor, meet for intercessory prayer, are held weekly. Personal reques ts are presented, and many answers are experienced, as well as other blessings by all who participate. On the eighth floor of the dormitory is the s tudents' Social Hall, where Home Night and other special programs are enjoyed. The women's dormitory also provides a smaller Parl or with a fully equipped kitchen for the use of the women students.
