EVANGELISTICWORKONTWO CONTINENTSAFFECTED BY INSTITUTE’S PROPOSED 33-MONTHS’ CAMPAIGN How Proceeds Will Be Used
PRAY
The proceeds of the campaign will be devoted to four specific purposes in the following order: (1) To the maintenance and opera tion of the Institute. (2) To the strengthening of the an nuity reserve fund and the keeping up o f payments to our aged annuitants. (3) To the reduction o f the Insti tute’s mortgage indebtedness. (4) To such extension work as may be planned. Work o f Biola The Bible Institute of Los Angeles has existed as an organized Christian work for more than twenty-nine years. During this period it has given train ing to more than 15,000 people. Sev eral hundreds of these have become missionaries, pastors, evangelists, or other full-time Christian workers, while nearly all, we believe, have exerted a spiritual influence in the life of their respective communities. In addition to its American labors, the Bible Institute of Los Angeles car ries on an extensive mission work, in China through the Hunan Bible Insti tute, located in the populous Chinese city of Changsha, in Hunan Province. Including Biola’s Chinese work, its correspondence school, and its day and evening schools, it is estimated that more than 1,000 present students and their instructors are among those who are most vitally affected by the Insti tute's program of extension. Freewill Giving—The Institute’s Only Resource No adequate endowment fund, no denominational subsidies, support this work which depends from day to day upon the freewill giving of God’s peo ple everywhere. Tuition is absolutely free, the only charge being the hos pitalization registration fee of $10.00 per term. Contributions to the work of the Institute may be made in at least four ways: (1) by direct giving; (2) by a 33-months’ pledge payable month ly; (3) by bequests or wills; and (4) by the purchase of annuities. Direct Giving ^Direct giving is divided into occa sional donations, 33-months’ pledges, in dividual pledges, pledges under the Biola Honor Roll plan (regular monthly con tributions o f any stated amount), and Contract Giving, under which last head may be included the transfer of property to the Institute, real or personal, during the lifetime of the donor, in Hie form of
Adm inistration building at the Hunan Bible In stitute, C h in a d ep a rtm e n t of the Bible Insti tute of Los An geles.
DEATH RIDES TODAY IN C H IN A I Bombs crash through fragile roofs and tear up pave ments on crowded streets, leaving ghastly craters filled with bleeding bodies, or— worse still— fragments of bodies! In this land of distress, there are hundreds of brave mis sionaries who are willing to accept any hardship for the Lord's sake. Among them are the representatives of the Hunan Bible Institute, including Dr. Frank A. Keller and Charles A. Roberts, and their families. W ILL YO U PRAY FOR TH EM ? . . . If Nanking, the present capital of China, falls to the Japanese, and Changsha becomes the nation's capital, there is great danger that the Hunan Bible Institute buildings may be com mandeered for government uses. PLEASE PRAY THAT © O D W ILL OVERRULE IN THIS. In the BIOLA "G O FO RW AR D " C AM PA IG N , the needs of the work in China are definitely in mind. A fund is being accumulated to be held in reserve and used should sudden need arise in Changsha. Would you not like to have a part in this provision for the missionaries' needs? To each donor, a good picture of the Hunan Bible Institute, post card size, will be mailed.
an executed gift, which passes to the Institute upon the giver’s death. Bequests Under Wills Under the direction o f Elmer J. Peterson as Business Manager, the In stitute maintains a staff of trained field representatives who are experts in giving advice in estate matters. The Institute’s attorney, Claude A. Watson, will, upon request, prepare wills or trusts under wills that adequately will meet the need of the individual donor. Insured Annuities The Institute is now offering what experience has proved to be the safest form of money investment on earth in the form of insured annuities, under the terms o f which a liberal rate of inter est is paid during the lifetime of the annuitant. All of the Institute’s annu ities issued under this provision will be insured by the strongest and safest of the American life insurance companies, a feature not offered by many institu tions in the United States. The Institute’s Conviction We have a deep conviction that the testimony of this school is greatly needed in these dark days, and we are convinced that it will be greatly to the Lord’s glory when Biola can say to all the world that God in His mercy
and faithfulness has led His people to meet His requirements for blessing and that every financial obligation has been met. Faithfully yours,
