The door of this graduate school of theology stands wide open to admit qualified, God-called young men and women of every nation who are desirous of obtaining a training that will equip them for vital Christian service. That door in- vites to such training is a spiritually warm environment where one may not only Find the best in intellectual equipment, but also at the same time find rich and satisfy- ing experiences of grace. But this door opens out also to the white harvest fields. Out through this door are going well-trained, Spirit-filled men and women who shall be continually fulfill- ing the Great Commission . W. D.
