/" 'O D ’S WORD FOR THE PRESENT HOUR.
“ For our fathers have trespassed, and done, that which was evil in the eyes of the LORD our God,- and have forsaken Him, and have turned away their faces from the habitation of the LORD, and turned their backs . . . . Wherefore the wrath of the LORD was upon Judah and,Jerusalem, and He hath delivered them to trouble, to astonish ment, and to hissing, as you see with your eyes,” 2 Chron. 29 :6, 8. “ And be ye not like your fathers, and like your brethren, which tres passed against the LORD God of their fathers, who therefore gave them up to desolation, as ye see. Now be ye not stiffnecked, as your fathers were, but yield yourselves unto the LORD, and enter into His sanctuary, which He hath sanctified for ever: and-serve the LORD your God; 'that the fierceness of His wrath may turn away from you. For if ye turn again unto the LORD, your brethren and your Children shall find compassion before them that lead them captive, so that they shall Come again into this land: for the LORD your God is gracious and merciful, and will not turn away His face from you, if ye return unto Him,” 2 Chron. 30:7-9. “ Call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me,” Ps. 50:15. t “ If God be for us, who can be against us?” Rom. 8:31. In recent numbers we have spoken of the proposed enlargement of the work of the Bible Institute of Los Angeles. We have long desired to provide here the most thorough, systematic course of training in Sunday School Methods and Teaching to be had anywhere in the world. Rev. John H. Hunter, who has had very large experience in this work in Chicago in connection with the International Sunday School Association, has given much time to the work here, but his many other duties have prevented his developing the course as he would have liked. The Dean of the Institute, in connection with Mr. Hunter, have been looking for several years for the right man to put in this place in the Institute curriculum. We believe we have found him in Rev. Henry Albert Dowling, D. D., and we have secured him for the place and he has already begun his work, but will enlarge it with the beginning of the new school year, September 25. Dr. Dowling was born at Marietta, Ohio, December 5, 1856. He attended S TILL FURTHER DEVELOPMENT OF THE WORK OF THE BIBLE INSTITUTE OF LOS ANGELES.
