Women attend special meetings Strengthen Thou me according unto Thy Word was the theme of the 1980 Torrey Memorial Bible Conference. The conference was named after Rueben Archer Torrey one of the founders of Biola. The entire week, january 28 through February 1 was devoted exclusively to the study of God's Word, under the instruc- tion of Rev. D. Stuart Brisco, Mrs. Muriel Cook, Rev. Gordon MacDonald, Rev. Ronald Dunn, and Dr. Haddon W. Robinson. The week con- sisted of main sessions and a series of bible studies held each morning and each evening. Each evening was a special girls seminar led by Muriel Cook, which was also attended by many Biola men who became disappointed when booted out. The conference brought an added strength and inspiration before beginning a new semester. Sophomore Mari Sheets commented on the conference: I learned the practical principles to walk by faith, and principles to help pesonal relation- ships. by Ingrid Lott llfll 2 o te I llemoriall Bllble onfcrencc isso ls- r 1-.glltan me according lo Chg wid-' 26 Torrey Conference
