CLIRIPSES No classroom in our Bible School is large enough to accommodate our largest iiBihlc Classf namely, those who are enrolled as students in our Home Bible Study Department. Although i 1,287 enrollments have been added during the first two months of 1.949 to the 3.200 enrolled in 1948, there is no ilhousing problem? There will always ho room for all who desire to cnroll in one, or more, of thv ton courses otlcrcd. Bound in lesson hooks, tho coursvs may also he commiicntly used by Home Study Groups and Bible Classes. Like every dcpartmont of our school, this continues to ho a Vcntnro of faith, dependent upon God for the supply of twory need. By the gracious prmision of God it has hoon a successful venture for nearly twenty years. It had a good hcginningr 11ndv1' the consecrated leadership of Dr. C, .l- Sodcrgron. Tho courses proparvd by him continue to ho uscd hy gratctul students. The ministry of LBI is not only a Bihlo teaching ministry, hut our aim is to help Christians to become Bible students. Many rvalixv that their spiritual lilo is not sufficiently nourished by listening to one or two sermons on Sunday. Sermons instruct and admonish. Daily Bible reading nourishes the spiritual life.

Ignorance of what the Bible teaches is Satanls opportunity to deceive many. IIA drop from the ocean of Gods lVord is worth more than all the pohhlcs from varthly streams? litll IOES Tho Iilst lvsson ol this course shows mv how much I hax v hcvn missingr in my Bihlo study hvrctoforc. My Savior hocomos more precious to me as I study His IVord-and I moan study, not merely road it. I am a missionary homv on furlough. and am so thankful for thcsv lvssons. They hax'v challenged Inc to study the IVortl. and my spiritual life has been enriched thereby. I wish that more homvmakvrs would use this wonderful opportunity which the homc study courses oftol'f It is with hoth joy and regret that I St'lltl in the last lesson -joy that I haw completed the course. and regret that I haVv not hvcn ahlv to put more time and thought into it and thus rvcvix'v grvatvr hlcssings.
