Moody Bible Institute Doing Great
Work in Their Open Air
Campaign

Much is made Of the Open Air Work
during the summer at The Moody
Bible Institute of Chicago. 1t has been
found an opportune time to reach the
multitudeS.
During six days of each week, the
Gospel wagons go out with students,
both men and women, to the street.
corners, parks, etc. There the crowds
gather round to listen to the Gospel
message and enjoy the Gospel songs.
II is expected that a Gospel Automo.
bile will be added to the equipment of
the Institute soon. This will enable
the students, with their leaders. to
cover larger territory in Chicago, and
visit amusement parks, ball parks,
summer gardens, and such places
where people congregate in large
numbers.
The Institute employs man, who
has had many years experience, to di.
rect this work and train the students
to do it, and also seeks to stimulate
and encourage the churches of the
city to engage in it.
This, together with other forms Of
practical work, are a vital part of the
free training in the English Bible, and
Gospel Music provided at the Moody
Bible Institute Of Chicago.
