W H A T T O R R E Y B E L I E V E D Success and growth in Christian life depend on few things more than upon liberal giving. A stingy Christian cannot be a growing Christian. It is wonderful how a Christian man begins to grow when he begins to give. Give systematically. Set aside for Christ a fixed proportion of all the money or goods you get. Be exact and honest about it. Don't use it for yourself under any circumstances. A tenth is a good proportion to begin with. Don't let it be less than that. After you have given your tenth, you will probably soon learn the joy of giving freewill offerings in addition to the tenth.— R. A. Torrey.

amount o f the gift that is important; what counts is the regularity with which the contribution is sent. W ITH IN TH E LAST FEW MONTHS , THE IN COME FROM THE B IOLA HONOR ROLL HAS PRACT ICALLY DOUBLED IN VOLUME , Every person making a donation of any amount to the work of the Bible Institute of Los Angeles is eligible to membership in the Biola Honor Roll. Membership is recognized in two ways. A certificate ( 6 " x 9 " ) will be sent to each member. Donors are also entitled to re ceive the K IN G ’ S BUSINESS (regular subscription price $1 .50 ) as follows: If you donate $1.00, 25 cents may be applied as a three months subscription. If you donate $2.00, 50 cents may be applied as a six months’ subscription, and if you donate $5.00 or more, 75 cents may be applied as a year’s subscrip tion.

By becoming a member of the Biola Honor Roll, you act in accord with the teaching of the Word of God (1 Cor. 1 6 :2 ) ; you honor the memory of one of the greatest of human leaders of the Lord’s people, R.

Joyfully yours in the Lord,
Reuben Archer Torrey, “ the father of Bible Institutes” and the first Dean o f the Bible Institute o f Los Angeles, believed and taught that systematic, giving on the part of Christian people was God’s way o f carrying on His work on earth. In this connection, Torrey frequently quoted Proverbs 11:25: “ The liberal soul shall be made fat” ; and 2 Corin thians-9:6, 8: “ He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly ; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully . . . . And God is able to make all grace abound toward you ; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work.” THE BIBLE IN ST ITUTE OF LOS ANGELES BELIEVES AND TEACHES EXAC TLY W H A T TORREY T A U G H T ! The Biola Honor Roll makes systematic giving both easy and effective. Whoever joins— signifying a willing ness-to pray often for the Bible Institute o f Los Angeles and to give REGULARLY to its support— receives a beautiful certificate suitable for framing.
