of the Great Commiss ion, and definite prayer, each student may respond with a willingness to serve the Lord as He directs, in some part of His harvest field which is the whole world. The meetings of the Union are open to the entire student body , and hearts are deeply stirred as returned missionaries and missionary candidates vividly portray conditions in many regions where millions have never yet heard the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the victories that follow the telling of the gospel story.
Immediately following each chal lenging message , the students , dividing into groups according to their interest in different fields, withdraw to separate rooms for earnest prayer: for the lost of all the world, for the missionaries who have gone forth with the gospel of sal vation, and that the Lord of the Harvest will send forth reapers of His own choos ing. Correspondence with missionaries on the field enables them to carry on more intelligently this work of intercession , and it is a source of encouragement and streng th to missionaries in hard places to know they are thus remembered. Many a Biola student has caugh t a vision of his own relationship to the world's need through these prayer bands , and has been led to commit the p lan of his life to the God who makes no mistakes.
The S.M.U. sends deputation teams , upon request , to churches and young people's groups in Los Angeles for the purpose of presenting 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 Tuesday evening meetings of this organization they become better acquainted and enjoy a time of real blessing and inspiration as special 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 d a ys in the quiet of the mountains , enjoying outdoor sports and relaxation. The evening program of stunts , fol lowed by a sing and a testimony meeting around a glowing camp fire, is long remembered. BIOLA MEN The corresponding organization for the men of the school also meets regu larly on Tues day 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 evenings .
