Several months ago one of the students happened to pass by an entrance to a hall where there were lectures going on under the auspices of one of the many isms that frequent Los Angeles. An attendant was writing the subject of that evening’s lec ture on a blackboard, and the student paused to watch. “The Judgment” was what he saw, and underneath was written “Free Seats.” He startled the attendant very much by saying, “That’s not so, my friend. Your seat will not be a free one. You are paying the price of an eternal life of joy for your seat. I praise the Lord that I will not have to have a seat in the judg ment. For God says, in John 5:24, that whosoever ‘heareth My Word, and be- lieveth on Him that sent Me, .hath ever lasting life and shall not còme to the judg ment !’ ” He spoke a few more words and passed on. Later in the same week he passed there again and spoke to the attendant and gave him some more Scripture, and finally brought him up to the all-important ques tion of whether or not he would accept Jesus Christ as HIS Saviour. He put off the decision, but the student made it a point to see him again. He learned his name, and at last he got him to the point where he said that he believed, but he would not accept Christ then. When thè student passed next time there was a new attendant, and he learned upon questioning him that the other fellow had lost his po sition for expressing ideas and Scripture interpretations that were contrary to those of the sect. The first attendant was followed by the prayers of some of the students and the Fishermen, and at last they were answered, for ' recently the student met the boy on the street, and a happy smile broke over his face and he said, “D-------- , I couldn’t
get away from those verses that you gave me, and I have made it all right with Jesus Christ now.” Christian Workers’ Loan Library There is a Loan Library for the use of Christian workers in the book" room of the Bible Institute.

Suffice it to say, as we said at the be ginning, Dr. Clark, for the officers and in ternational committee, declared that in its arrangements its handling of the details, and in its spirit and power, this conten tion outshone all its predecessors.
