brought us. We are only grateful to
our Father for his watchful care over
MS, but We thank him for the lessons OF
fsith ne has taught us. We have been
enabled many times, especially as we
came to the hgot again from some dark
places, to see the hand Of God moving
in the manifestations of Els providence
as we had never seen 1t before. He
showed US how closely he watched over
ue, now accurately he arranged the de-
tails, how infinitely he considered the
small things in u life as we'll as the
greater. He showed us that he knew
when the flour was out, when the
treasury was empty and calculated lust
the time 1t would take a letter from
some friend whose heart he had
touched, leaving his postofloe, to reach
us just In time for o meal. The stu
dents have been earnest and faithful
in their WORK in the study of the word;
God has graciously used them in tent
meetings and mission work during the
year.
We have now five or six cottage
prayer meetings in different parts of
the city, conducted by the students,
every Friday night. In addition to
this we have recently opened q hall in
connection with the P~entecostal mis-
sion in the heart Of tho city, where we
nave services Sunday afternoon and
night and Thursday night; and in con-
n%ection with this we have street meet
ings Sunday EVENING", ali OF which
work has been much blessed OF the
Lord. We feel that under the blessing
OF God the work IN growing and becom-
Ing more and more established, and we
are looking to God for greater things
In the coming days, and we pray God
that II Jesus tarries many OF his chosen
ones will go out from this place in the
Masters service, not only in this land,
but into the regions beyond.
We want to say that the institute is
open TO those who have given them
selves to God wholly for his service,
and who desire to study the word that
they may be prepared to do the Mas.
ter's work, and are willing to join us
In prayer to God for the support of the
institute.
We charge no tuition or board. II
those who feel led to come have an,
means OF which they a contribute tc
their support, we ask the Lord to put i,
} into their hearts to do 30. If they have
. no means, we say come in the name O
, the Lord and join us in trusting Goo
for support. In their preparation 10,
1 the Masters service we endeavor to i'm
: press upon them "the fulluesss of thu
3 blessings OF Christi" that the gospe
Z demands and provides for q real lif,
and not merely a professions; that hol,
r living is the foundation of holy teach
, ing; that we who preach can only nf
up and establish others in the power O
Q the gospel, as we ourselves measure u,
to its standard. Our prayer is that b,
: the grace OF God WI may be enabled tx
4 understand and unfold the possibilitie!
: OF the human life under the power O
4 the gospel OF Christ, and realize on,
completeness in him, body, soul ant
r spirit, till we all come in the unity O
3 the faith, and of the knowledge O

measure OF the stature Of the fitness O

We desire to express our grateful
thanks TO all the people of God wht
/, have contributed in any way to the
support OF this work, and we prais.
God for the donations which have com,
! from them to us; and we earnestly pra,
that God may impress upon the heart.
d his people not only this, but all othel
J Bible institutes for the preparation @
those who are called into His service
at home and to the foreign field. We
earnestly ask a continued interest in tn
prayers OF all those who have known u.
In the past and also OF those who may
J know OF the work In the future.
