BIBLE INSTITUTE OF LOS ANGELES
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 Matthew 4:19) and now has a membership of about 100. There has been strict adherence to the principle of striving for a single object, viz., the study of God's Word, and the doing of active, aggressive personal work for the Lord Jesus Christ. In these thirteen years, more than 100 men have gone out from the Club into definite Christian work. Eighteen are missionaries in foreign fields, under the various evangelical denominations,-one a medical missionary. They are in China, Japan, Siam, Africa and Central and South America. Eight are occupying pastorates, and sixteen are in theological schools preparing for the ministry. Fifteen or more have volunteered for foreign missions.
