BIBLE FACTS PLAINLY EXPLAINED on THE RADIO BIBLE CLASS — PROGRAM
Future Trends m here recently appeared a booklet entitled, College Age Population I Trends, 1940-1970. It was prepared under the direction of Ohio State University and constituted a report to the American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers. The report is particular ly significant to all who are in any way connected with institutions of higher learning, in that the statistics are given which show the predicted college-age population trends during the next fifteen or sixteen years. These predictions are based, not upon mere speculation, but upon the sober facts of the present population of babies and pre-kindergarten school-age children in the various states. Then the compilation of all this data is given on a national scale. If present trends continue, it has been discovered that the five Far Western States, namely, California, Oregon, Washington, Nevada and Arizona, will lead the nation in percentage of increase of college population between now and 1970. By 1970, there will be more than twice as many college-age young people in these five states as there are at the present time. This presents "a mighty challenge to all institutions of higher learning in this population area. The Bible Institute of Los Angeles, Incorporated, is planning a long-range program designed for the purpose of providing thorough Christian training for as many young people as can possibly be accommodated. Tremendous opportunities lie ahead. There are also extremely heavy responsibilities. The Bible Institute of Los Angeles has depended, during its entire history, largely upon the gifts of God’s people in carrying out its program of providing the very best possible training for the hun dreds of students who attend each year. Contrary to the belief of some people, the school has no endowment fund whatever. Expenses are met by gifts of earnest Christian people who are vitally interested in seeing young people trained for the coming generation of Christian work. By far the greater number of gifts are small in amount, but as someone has said, little is much if God is in it. All who are connected with the Bible Institute of Los Angeles are profoundly grateful for the thousands of friends of the school whom God has raised up who are remembering this work regularly before the throne of grace and who are translating their interest in the work into tangible support of it. The Board of Directors of this great institution is fully alert to the oncoming increase of potential students, and is making every effort to provide thorough training for all whom the Lord directs toward this school of the prophets. Ten Cents R ecently we looked over a report by the Pocket Testament League that showed this organization has already given out 1 y2 million Gospels of John in Korea. Cost per Gospel: 10 cents. The Gospels are bringing comfort to thousands of heart-hungry people who lost everything in the war. The Gospels are also being pressed into use in Korea’s schools. During the three long years of war, textbooks were destroyed along with schoolbuildings and equipment. In some schools, teachers and students have received Korean Gospels and are now using these little books in classroom studies. One of the most important points of distribution is veterans’ hospitals. Thousands of sick and wounded men, permanently maimed by war, lie in these crowded, ill-equipped hospitals with little hope of ever again leading normal, useful lives. To these men, the news of salvation and of the love and peace of God is like an oasis in the desert.
