And there are those fierce dogs —they might bite you before you got to the door.” Wilma Mae had looked up to see whether Mrs. Green might not have missed the little parcel, but she was already out of sight. So, with some mi sg i v ing , Wilma Mae yielded to the temptation and dropped the watch into her coat pocket. And for three whol e weeks she had admired it morn ings and night, there safe in her own room. She would have been shocked if any one had told her she had stolen it, and yet those three weeks had been the most miserable ones she could remem ber. All that afternoon Wilma Mae was unhappy. Try as she would, she could not forget the words Miss Doris had read from the Bible. Again she took out the watch and looked at it. And some how, this time, it did not look nearly so beautiful.

The purpose of the training at Talbot Theological Seminary is to produce skilled ministers of the Gospel whose theological knowledge is in direct proportion to a compassionate heart which seeks, in love, to share. For to know in itself is nothing. Effective training produces not just a theological thesaurus, but a throbbing thoroughfare from which the Word of God may pass to the healing of a sick and dying world. This is the Talbot perspective! Offering B.D., Th.M. and M.R.E. degrees TALBOT THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY 13800 Biola Ave., La Mirada, Calif. 90638
