Mexicans; two workers giving theif whole time to service among the Jews; two workers in the shops and factories where successful meetings are held every week in the year; one worker working among the men on the aqueduct and two men among the oil fields; three evangelists have held services from San Diego to Washing- ton; and these combined workers have held in the last year over 3000 meetings, and over 2000 have confessed conversion. No part of our service has had greater significance than has our touch with the young people of the city. Hundreds of them are enrolled in our Monday and Tuesday evening classes, and the monthly meeting of these combined classes with the young people f the most impressive and blessed meetings ever held in our city. The entering wedge of paganism is in this fair state of ours. Our sister city on the North, with more than 400,000 inhabitants, has but 12,000 evangelical church members—one out of every thirty-three of the people are strangers to the evangelical Gospel. There are great fields throughout the State without any Gospel privileges. Many of them we have visited. The near future will bring to us through the Panama Canal, thousands of unevangelized people. We must reach this people with the Gospel or they will reach us and our children with their infidelity. This State is the hot-bed for all sorts of fads and fancies which deny the Deity of our Lord. These are not new but old as the devil himself, and fraught with awful danger to all of our institutions. The fol- lowers of these devilish systems are indefatigable in their efforts to sow the seed of destruction, and we must evangelize the State with the Gospel of God or be evangelized with the doctrines of devils. This condition makes it imperative upon the people of God, who are true to the Truth, to unite in an effort to stem the tide. Los Angeles is the logical place for a great Bible Institute. Our wonderful climate affords the privilege of living out doors all t h e y e a r a r o u n f l - The living is cheap, the cosmopolitan character of the city makes possible the study of the peoples from all sec- tions of the earth, and gives opportunity for practical work in their midst. i g o n e 0
