STATEMENT OF FAITH
We believe and teach
That the Bible, consisting of all the books of the Old and New Testament s, 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 Ghost. 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 a s 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 Hi s 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 .
every
member of the Board of trustees
and everyteacher is required to sign the unabridged form of
this statement
of failh the first of every school year: and no one
can ever teach or preach in our
buildings any doctrine contrary to it.

"Our Bibl e Institute was conceived in prayer, founded by faith, and estabished through sacrifice . . . . "
- Lyman Stewart.
R. A. Torrey, world-renowned evangelist , Bible teacher, and author, became Dean of the Bible Institu te of Los An geles in 1912. In 1915 , when the Chu rch of the Open Door was organized, Dr. Torrey became its first pastor. He served in th is twofold capacity unt il his resignation in 1924.

T. C. Horton , one of the founders of BIOLA, held the office of Superintendent until 1925. He was the first editor of The King's Business, and the organizer of the Fisher !nen Clubs. The va rious home missionary activities of the institute were largely the outgrowth of his intense mission ary zeal.

Lyman Stew art, cofounder with Mr. Horton of BIOLA, be came its first President, holding that office until his death in 1923. He gave largely and sacrificially of his means. not only to BIOLA, but to many other worthy enterprises.

LOU IS T. TALBOT President 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 "exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think." Furthermore , we feel that God has spoken to our hear'.s 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 uttermost parts of the world. So it is our aim that with His strength and wisdom 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 His fellowship,

THE DEAN 'S MESSAGE This catalog is being sent to you because of a definite interest which you have manifested in The Bible Institute of Los Angeles. Therefore, will you take this message and this catalog as a personal invitation to "come and see" that which may be found here by way of definite training and inspira tional fellowship. The greatest need of today is the training of young people for the leadership of tomorrow. The Bible Institute is dedicated to this task, which will surely come upon the youth of the world in the yeacs that lie ahead. If you desire to enter the gospel ministry or the foreign missionary field, if you desire a teaching ministry in the home field, if you desire a more thorough knowledge of the Word of God, if you de sire Chri stian fellowship of the highest order, if you desire opportunities for study and practice unex celled in any other place of study, then consider The Bible Institute of Los Angeles as your school home for the next few years. May the Lord guide you as you prepare for His service. Cordially yours in Christ , SAMUEL H. SUTHERLAND LIFE PURPOSE
SAMUEL H. SUTHERLAND Dean
"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."-OLIVE 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 Christian 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." II Peter 3: 18. The Bible Institute affords an opportun ity for the spiritual growth and development 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 developing Chri stian graces. Here love patience, and kindness are daily demonstrated. -MATILDA BOEHMER
Olive B. TAYLOR
WALTER R. HALE Superintendent of Men
MATILDA BOEHMER Superintendent of Wome

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 service. 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. " "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge." -Proverbs 1:7.

CHRISTIAN EDUCATION COLLEGIATE COURSE Pe rhaps never in the history of the Church has there been such an imperative need for efficient , trained Christian leadership, especially among young people. The inroads of the world have been inestimably great. But the gospel of Jesus Christ is still the " power of God u n to salvation" , and the sense of hunger for One who can sat isfy the heart and meet eve ry human need is increas ing , rather than decreasing, among the youth of the land. With this in mind , the Bible Institute has sought to enlarge its horizon , and now offers a four year course designed especially for leaders of youth . This course leads to the degree of Bachelor of Christian Education. A mi n imum of 124 u n its is required for graduation, of which one unit each semester is given for practical work. The ability to play 5 simple hymns is a graduation requirement Those qua lifying for this degree have found open doors of service as Directors of Young People 's work, Child Evange li sm, etc. in churches throughout the land.

Student Life
While students enter Biola with a serious purpose in view, they are none the less keenly interested in the activities of school life, which serve to counterbalance a program of work and s tudy , making it both enjoyable and wholesome for the all-round development of the individual.
ASSOCIATED STUDENT BODY The As sociated Student Body, of which all students are automatically members, exists for a threefold purpose: to foster the spirit of fellowship, to promote the interests and welfare of the students, and to direct student affairs. Each Friday morning the Student Body holds a short business and fellowship meeting in conjunction with student-led devotions. The second meeting of each month is designated as Praise and Stewardship Hour at which time the students present an offering. This united stewardship results in the support of the gospel tract ministry, the sending of the Gospel of John to college students, and a special project for each year.
Planning student body outings is a part of the work of the A.S.B. Typical examples of sponsored events are the semi-annual picnics and the annual Mount Baldy snow party. Also along the line of recrea tion, the Student Body sponsors a men's basketball team which is a member of the Los Angeles Church League. The League games are played al the down town Y.M.C.A. , and furnish not only physical exercise and relaxation, but also an opportunity for the highest type of clean sportsmanship. On Friday nights , members of the Biola family meet for "Home Night." Various representative groups plan the entertainment for one of these functions and vie with each other in displaying the recreational talents of that particular group. A short devotional period always climaxes the evening. As a means of testimony as well as uniting the student body, the students edit and publish a semi
monthly newspaper, the BIOLA CHIMES, and a school yearbook, the BIOLAN. Both publica tions serve to picture school life; to interest young people in Biola; and to bring enjoyment to present and former students. Open House, occurring annually as a means of acquainting the friends of Biola with the details of the life of the school is a Student Body project. The Association also plans parties for special holidays, and concludes its program of social activities for the year with a Junior-Senior reception.
STUDENT MISSIONARY UNION Undoubtedly the point of highest interest in the week for many a Bible Institute student is the regular Wednesday evening meeting of the Student Missionary Union , an organiza tion which stimulates interest in the many fields of home and foreign missions. The primary purpose of the organization is that , through a knowledge of the world's need , the challenge

of the Great Commission, 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 enti re 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 the message , the students meet in groups, according to their interest in different fields , to pray for the lost of the world and to uphold the missionaries who are laboring on the field. frequent reports by letters and mis sionary publications enable the students to pray effectively. To many the prayer bands have been a source of blessing, as well as a means that God has used to reveal His will. In May, 1942, the Student Missionary Union became an active chapter of the Student foreign Missions fellowship , a national organization of students who are looking forward to foreign missionary service. The purpose of the F.M.F is to stir the student world, and through it the Church, to meet the urgent need of mak- ing Chris t known in all the world in our generation.
The S.M.U. sends deputation teams , upon request, to churches and young peoples grou ps in Los Angeles for the purpose of presenting missio nary information and the chal lenge of Chri stian se rvi ce 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 Monday 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 days 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 campfire, is long remembered . BIOLA MEN The corresponding organization for the men of the school also meets regularly 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 .

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 fine art of living together, and to give expression lo Christian consideration and helpfulness. "Love one another" has a definite application . Morning and evening devotions are a daily source of strength and inspiration. Imme diately after breakfast. and again before evening study hours, the dormitory family meets for family worship. Corridor prayer meetings, in which the women students living in a single corridor, or those of an entire floor meet for intercessory prayer, are held on Tuesdays. Personal requests are presented, and many answers are experienced, as well as other blessings by all who Participate. Corridor meetings of men's groups meet at slated times according to their avail able lime. On the eighth floor of the dormitory is the students' Social Hall, where friends may gather in leisure hours. It is here that the ping-pong games are played and tournaments held for friendly rivalry and fun. It is here , also. that the evening devotions are held around the fireplace and where Home Night and special programs are enjoyed. The women's dor mitory also providesa smaller Parlor with a fully equipped kitchen for use of the women students.

CHRIST'S CALL TO YOUTH The Lord Jesus is interested not only in your accepting Him as Saviour, but also in your being willing to say:
"I'll go where you want me to go, dear Lord, Over mountain or plain or sea; I'll say what you want me to say, dear Lord, I'll be what you want me to be."
Only then can He use you as He wills.
There is usually a call to preparation for new and greater usefulness . If Christ's preparation call to you includes Biola, may you follow His leading with confident trust.
