Biola’ s World-Wide Prayer Circle Following the opening of the school year at the Bible Institute of Los An geles, Christina J. Braskamp, Secretary of Biola’s World-Wide Prayer Circle, asked that intercession of Prayer Circle members be centered particularly upon the students now in training for Chris tian service. The enrollment, the larg est in a number of years, includes 440 Day School students, 140 in the Eve ning School, and 1,000 in the Corre spondence School. Miss Braskamp also has suggested that praise be offered that such a Bible Institute exists to give the training that young people need in a day of spiritual decline and apostasy. Suggesting that members of the Prayer Circle send in their own prayer requests, she adds, “We count it a privilege to join you in prayer as you pass through the bright and dark days of our earthly sojourn.” New members may join the Prayer Circle by choosing a specific hour each week to pray for the Bible Institute of Los Angeles and by notifying Miss Braskamp at 558 S. Hope St., Los Angeles, Calif. Judith McDonald and Lavinia Garter were bosom friends according to all the traditions and proprieties of the Old South, yet at heart there w as no real affinity between them W hen both girls began to love the same man, their real dislike for one another found definite though veiled and courteously covered expression. Struggles o f love, the testimony of her lover’s cousin, and the suffering brought by the civil war, bring Judith to the acknowledg ment o f her need of a higher Power to di rect her steps. A s her desire to find com plete rest in Christ and H is will for her be comes the increasing and absorbing passion of her life, she finds not only ease from heartache, but receives in abundance the gifts of her Lord. This well-written, vivacious story is an exceptionally fine one to put into the hands of Christian young people who need to be led into the joys of complete surrender to Christ. 242 pages.
