"TOTHEJEWFIRST'
Official Orgân of The Bible Institute of Los Angeles, Incorporated
This is the bedrock of the Jew ish Mission appeal to every Bible- believing soul. “To the Jew first” is as basic in Missions as faith in Christ is basic in Salvation. Every January brings us an increasing number of gifts “To the Jew first.” And many letters tell us, “Thank you so much for calling my atten tion to my duty and privilege. I want to start the New Year right.” Think it over, for some day you too will join this blessed host and you too will say, “I want to preach. God’s Gospel in God’s way—to the Jew first.” Was there ever a time in the world’s history when this precious privilege, “To the Jew first,” was more imperative than in this present .hour ? With Israel in the caldron of demon hate, with the world being driven by Satan himself to exterminate, if that were possible, the people whom God has called His very own, can any true child of God withhold the heart and the hand of pity? Ought we not while He still tarries, r e a c h out with a ministry of love to those sorely harassed and distressed peo ple, who know not which way to turn? “To the Jew first” indeed has a potent meaning in such an hour as this! Our work merits your every con fidence. Our field is not only the 4,000,000 Jews of America, but, un der divine impulse, we are at grips with the problem of reaching a world Jewry with the Gospel. In America, branches are maintained in the larger cities. Abroad the Lord is Wonderfully blessing our Gospel and relief ministry among the refugee Jews with whom we come into direct contact, in large numbers, through our stations in Paris, Brussels, Antwerp, Vienna, etc. Through these Branches and affiliated missions and missionaries, our Yiddish publications are being distributed in other important Jew ish centers of the world. Your help and prayers are al ways n e e d e d . “THE CHOSEN PEOPLE,” loved by Bible students for its helpful information on Pro phecy and the Jews, is sent to con tributors. MAY WE HEAR FROM YOU?
