We feel that it is our solemn duty to offer this opportunity for educational and spiritual growth, con tinuing what we have thus begun. With the co-operation of The King’s Business, the first group for 1929 will sail from New York November 17th, 1928, to spend Christmas in Bethlehem. There will be a group leaving monthly from New York thereafter throughout the year. Valuable suggestions have come to us from party members and have been incorporated in our year’s program. Our business department in New York through this constructive criticism will be able to give more efficient service in getting people to the Holy Land. Our field department in Jerusalem will also be better prepared to give finer and more comprehensive Bible background, both spiritually and educationally. See ou tside back page f o r sa iling da tes
