and the type of service he will render. And, strangely enough, this constitutes the "blind spot" in Christian thinking and giving. For instance, the number of churches contributing directly to the work of the Bible Institute of Los Angeles, Inc., is appallingly few. BIOLA is endeav oring in every way possible to provide adequate training for the young people who attend this school, so that they will be thoroughly prepared and equipped to do outstand ing work for our Lord Jesus Christ in the years ahead. But training costs are high. In some liberal arts schools where tuition charges are relatively high it is estimated that the student pays for approximately one-half the cost of his education. However, BIOLA's tuition charge, at the present time, is only slightly more than half of the aver age tuition fees in liberal arts colleges. For that reason our students pay for less than one-third the cost of their training. The remainder of the cost must be borne by friends of the school who are vitally interested in the training program which is offered here. In other words, for every dollar that the student provides for his training, we must receive at least three more dollars in donated funds to complete his training cost. It is a source of great satisfaction to our hearts that so many thousands of Christians do contribute toward the work of training the hundreds of outstanding consecrated young people who come to BIOLA. But it is also a source of continuing concern on our part because we do not as yet have enough such contributing friends to enable the work to proceed without handicap. Students are coming to us in increasing numbers, and we are profoundly thankful for this. However, each student is a financial liability whose training must be provided for through gifts of dedicated Christian friends. The expenses involved in getting children and high school young people safely through the first phase of their lives, froto a Spiritual standpoint, is extremely impor tant. And of course it is also extremely vital to provide funds for missionaries who are already on the fields of service. But, new recruits are in constant demand; they must be trained. It is imperative, therefore, that God's people recognize this responsibility in order that the whole program of Christian service may be prepared for ade quately. The prayers of Christians everywhere are earnest ly requested in behalf of Christian institutions of higher learning, and, if possible, these prayers should be backed up by financial support in order that these schools, such as BIOLA, may continue to function without handicap. Let us, as individuals and churches, by the grace of God, rid our spiritual eyes of this "blind spot" in thinking and giving.
