never had a stronger teaching body. Professor J. B. Nield, now at the head of our Music Department, stands so high in his profession that the Institute never could have hoped to be able to pay what he is worth, but he felt the call was from the Lord and is throwing his fine abilities into the gap. Miss Ida Woods, a teacher of large experience, is giv ing the students a much needed course in English. Mrs. A. L. Dennis, who was on the faculty during the palmy days • of Dr. Torrey, gives her valuable services to our Christian
K R h a t a mean thing it is for a child of God to be unthankful! I wonder sometimes if it does not grieve our heavenly Father more than any other sin. Nothing that our children can do so hurts us as to have them complain after we have exhausted our energies for their welfare. Israel’s great sin was the lack of thank
fulness, that showed itself in complaining against the provi dence of God. Our wicked hearts can always find some thing to growl about, but when we begin to count some of our blessings, how glad we are to find that there is nothing but blessing in the providences of God! “All things work to gether for good to them that love God.” What a heartening statement that is ! If it is true, and we know that it is true, there is nothing that comes to us in our daily lives that He cannot turn into a blessing. Here at the Bible Institute, we have so much for which to thank God that, in the provi dences of God that daily sur round us, we cannot see any thing to make us faint or dis couraged. The wrath of men He makes to praise Him, and even the foolishness, the self ishness, and the backbiting of professed friends He uses to drive us into closer fellowship with Himself. What a good God we have! Last semester the Institute was sorely pressed for money; we had a large student body; we had a good faculty, but, for the lack of funds, we were compelled to dismiss some of our teachers. The students
Education Course. Dr. Ross A. Harris, Dr. Lucy R. Kil gore, and Dr. Harry E. Straub are carrying on a very satisfac tory course in Medical Mis sions. Dr. E. R. Black, a teacher of long experience, is teaching Christian Psychology and Apologetics. Dr. E. L. McCreery, Dr. John C. Page, Dr. John A. Hubbard, and Pro fessor J. A. Vaus are retained on the faculty, teaching such subjects as Bible Synthesis, Doctrine, Analysis, Exegesis, Personal Evangelism, Homi letics, and Jewish Missions. The faculty all agree on one program of Bible interpreta tion. We have a very large regis tration of students, w h i c h makes us thank God and take courage. Do we have burdens ? Yes, some very heavy ones;but God is supplying all our needs, and we will not worry until His riches of grace in glory run out. “Not unto us, O Lord, not unto us, but unto thy name give glory.” T Be Filled with the Spirit [HE Holy Spirit is in every Christian; and Christ is in every Christian, for He dwells in us by the Spirit,
“He Crowneth the Year with His Goodness” Fountain of mercy, God of love, How rich Thy bounties are! The rolling seasons, as they move, Proclaim Thy constant care. The spring’s sweet influence, Lord, was Thine; The plants in beauty grew; Thou gav’st refulgent suns to shine, And the refreshing dew. These various mercies from above Matured the swelling grain; A kindly harvest crowns Thy love, And plenty fills the plain. We own and bless Thy gracious sway; Thy hand all nature hails; Seed-time nor harvest, night nor day, Summer nor winter fails. — S e l e c t e d .

were very considerate, and, all working together, we made the most of our circumstances and graduated eighty-three from the regular course, fifty- five of them volunteering for service in other lands. Then came a crisis; God’s money seemed to be all tied up, but God is never late; He came on time to supply our needs. Some of the best Bible teachers in the world are liv ing in Los Angeles. They came to our rescue. We now have seventeen on our faculty and at a smaller cost than any faculty in the history of the Institute. We believe we
as the sun dwells in the world by means of the atmosphere vibrating with waves of light. But we must perpetually yield to Him as water to the containing vessel. This is not always easy. Indeed, it can be accomplished only by an in cessant self-judgment and a perpetual mortification of our self-life. What is our position before God in this respect? We have chosen Jesus as our substitute, but have we also chosen Him by the Holy Spirit as our life ? Caii we say with the apostle, “Not I, but Christ liveth in me” ? If so,
