HISTORY of Manhattan Bible College for support, and which adjacency makes an excellent outlet for the services of young men and young women who are ready to go out from the school over the weekend to preach. Perhaps no other college among “us” Is so strategically located. Just across the street from Manhattan Bible College stretches the campus of the Kansas State College of Agriculture and Ap- plied Science. This offers a wonderful opportunity to students of both schools for ۵ well-rounded, Christian education. The purpose of Manhattan Bible College is to train preachers and other Christian workers who will be loyal to the Christ, and to His Church, as pre- sented in the Scriptures. Manhattan Bible College seeks to be Christian in the fullest meaning of the term. The College believes that the final and only authoritative statement of the Christian Religion 15 in the New Testament. Christian conduct 15 expected of all students in the College. Any student found unable to conduct himself as a Christian صا‎ the College, community, or elsewhere will be dismissed from the College. Just be a Christian gentleman or lady and you will be acceptable to the institution. Mt. 7:12 is an excellent guide. It sometimes becomes necessary to apply some practical applica- tions to the general rule of conduct. All students are required to attend Sunday Church service. During the twenty years of the history of the Bible College over one hundred people have been graduated from her halls. Many of this number are preachers, others preacher's wives, some missionaries, and several re outstanding Christian leaders. We are assured that this is merely the introduction to the history of a great institution, which has as its aim, to train young men and young women for loyal consecrated service for Christ, who is the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. `.
