Presenting . . . The Bible Institute of

For more than a quarter of a century, the Bible Institute has stood for the proclamation of the gospel that "Jesus Saves", and for the training of messengers that carry that gospel.

STATEMENT OF FAITH
We believe and teach
That the Bible , consisting of all the books of the Old and New Testaments , is the Word of God, a supernaturally given revelation without error or misstatement in moral and spirit ual teachings and record of historical facts. That there is one God, eternally existing and manifesting Himself to us in three Persons Father, Son , and Holy Spirit. That our Lord Jesus was supernaturally conceived by the Power of the Holy Spirit, born of a virgin, lived and taught and wrought mighty works and wonders and signs exactly as is recorded in the four Gospels , was put to death by crucifixion under Pontius Pilate , was raised from the dead in the body that had been nailed to the cross, now sits at the Father's right hand from whence He is coming again to this earth, personally, bodily , and visibly , in which God's purposes of grace toward mankind will find their consumma tion. That in His pre-existent state He was with God and was God , and of His own choice laid aside His divine glory and took upon Himself the form of a servant and was made in the likeness of men. That He became in every respect a real man , possessed of all the essential characteristics of human nature. That by His death upon the cross , the Lord Jesus made a perfect atonement for sin, redeem ing us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse in our place. That the Holy Spirit is a Person , is God , and is possessed of all the distinctively divine attributes. That man was created in the image of God, but the whole human race fell in the sin of the first Adam, and apart from Christ is spiritually dead and lost. That 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 Holy Spirit, through the instrumentality of the Word of God. That all those who receive Jesus Christ as their Saviour and their Lord, and who confess Him as such before their fellow men become heirs of God and joint-heirs with Jesus Christ and 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. That 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 and endless torment. That the Church consists of all those who, in this present dispensation , truly believe on Jesus Christ, and is the body and bride of Christ, which Christ loves and for which He has given Himself. That there is a personal devil, a being of great cunning who can exert vast power only so far as God suffers him to do so, and who shall ultimately be cast into the lake of fire and brimstone. - Abridged.
Every memeberof the Board of Trustees and every teacher is required to sign the unabridged form of this statement of faith the first of every school year; and no one can ever teach or preach in our buildings any doctrine contrary to it .

THE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
My dear Young Men and Young Women: I wish that I had the space to tell you fully of the marvelous way in which our God has bared His mighty arm in our behalf in past years and months. Surely we have been taught anew the transcendent truth that our God is able to do "exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think." Furthermore, we feel that God has spoken to our hearts saying that Biola must go on to even greater fields of usefulness than ever before; that more students must be prepared-and more fully prepared-to carry the incomparable gospel of God 's grace to the utterm.ost parts of the world . So it is our aim that with His strength and wi sdom we will spare no effort to make our beloved school one of the foremost Bible training schools in this country. And we pray that in the years that lie ahead, God will graciously give us even greater victories than in our glorious past. Yours in Hi s fellowship ,

THE DEAN 'S MESSAGE
Greetings: In the name of the same Lord and in the same words which the missionary Paul wrote to the be lievers at Corinth, we challenge you, "] seek not yours, but you." We count it a privilege to fellowship with hun dreds of young men and women w hose heart desire is "to know Him and make Him known ," to gain a more than working knowledge of Scripture, and to master effective methods of gospel presentation in the homeland and the regions beyond. Truly our students are possessed by a God given passion for sou ls a n d for the edification of the church of Jesus Christ our Lord. Our gradua tes have been used around the world in part-time and full time Christian work. We invi te you to consider the Bible Institute of Los Angeles as a school of training for Christian leadersh ip.

LIFE PURPOSE "Commit thy works unto Jehovah , and thy purposes shall be established."
-Proverbs 16:3 R.V.
"Clear perception and strong conviction will lead to definite usefulness." "O matchless honor, all unsought, High privilege, surpassing thought That thou shouldst call us, Lord, to be Linked in work-fellowship with thee."-OLlVE B. TAYLOR. LIFE INVESTMENT "A man's gift maketh room for him , and bringeth him before great men. " In other words , there are open doors of service for young people who are prepared. Some young Christians are anxious to get into service before they are fully equipped, and thus fall short of the maximum of life 's usefulness and the glory of God's perfect plan . We maintain at Biola a training school for Chri s tian workers with an emphasis upon the One Book . Through this training , young people are fitted for definite Christian service at home or abroad.-W ALTER R. HALE . SPIRITUAL GROWTH "But grow in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. " 11 Peter 3: 18. The Bible Institute affords an opportunity for the spiritual growth and deve lopment of the Christian life: in the classroom through a study of the Word of God; in the dormitory by appropriating the precious lessons taught. Living together presents many opportunities for de veloping Christian graces. Here love , patience , and kindne ss are daily demonstrated. -MA TlLDA BOEHMER.

EDUCATIONAL STAFF The fruit of a school largely depends upon the leadership of its faculty. The Institute has brought together in its staff men and women not only possessed of high Christian ideals, an aptitude for teaching, and academic preparation, but also sacrificial in spirit, and personally dedicated to the task of training youth for Christian se rvice. It is the delight of these teachers to give God 's holy Word its rightful place of pre- eminence in the classroom, to exalt the One who is the central theme of that Book, and to emphasize the place and power of prayer both in study and in everyday living May you join with them in daily petition that faith may be added to virtue , "and to virtue knowledge; and to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness; and to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity. " "Th e fear of th e Lord is the beginnin g of know ledge." -Proverbs 1:7.
