Mr. Harrison, director of the Practical Christian Work Department. The Moody Bible Institute, mindful of the Chris- tian's opportunity and responsibility, not only in- cludes in its curricula that which will better equip students for the Lord's service anywhere in the world, but also provides them with practical Chris- tian work assignments during their enrollment in order that they may put into practice what they learn in the classroom and acquire the resultant experience so essential to good beginning in full- time Christian service. Practical Christian work is also conducive to the students' spiritual development, inasmuch as they are frequently confronted with problems that they, themselves, are unable to solve. Thus, they go to the Lord for the solution and this increases their experiential knowledge of Him. Furthermore, students seek the lost as part of the work of personal soul-winning, and, when so doing, sometimes find them living under conditions that are appalling. In connection with her visita- tion work, one young lady student contacted a Pa ' WML family that was so circumstancecl, and this is what she had to say regarding her experience: We saw many conditions that grieved our hearts. One family was about to be evicted and we saw the sadness in the eyes of both parents and children. In another place we went down two floors below the street level to a door which opened into a cellar below the basement floor. There was no source of light at all, except one dim electric bulb. There was no floor except the ground be- neath their feet and the ceiling was so low the adults had to stoop to walk around. There were four small children who had lo exist in this dreary dungeon-like room. As the result of their Practical Christian work assignments while at the Institute, the students cannot help but be the recipients of a new sense of values and a vision that remains with them, not only during the remainder of their student days, but also throughout their entire lives. Service men hear of Christ at the Pacific Garden Rescue missions afford wonderful opportunities for Mission service men's center. Practical Ch ristia n Work. .xx
