PANCAKE SHOP Where cross the crowded ways of life in Lcs Angeles is the Pancake Shop; here, gather hundreds of men — jobless, friendless, and homeless Sin has robbed them of everything, and in desperation they wander to this haven where hungry bodies are fed. First, however, they must listen for an hour to inspiring hymns and a gospel message Each Sunday morning a group of students has charge cf a service at the Pancake Shop. It thrills their hearts to see sin-hardened men melt under the power of God, as they are told of the love of Christ Many have found Him as their Saviour, and have begun to walk in newness of life STREET MEETING Each Saturday night the streets of Highland Park ring with singing and praises to Christ, as a band of students gather to proclaim the Gospel Story to hearts in need An old hymn drifts out on the evening air and passers-by are stirred by familiar words or endearing memories In testimony the word is proclaimed that Jesus Saves! He Keeps, and He Satisfies God has richly blessed our street meetings and we feel that the Word, sown by the Holy Spirit, will find lodgement and bring forth fruit in some needy life THE CITY MISSION The students of S. C. B. S. have gained an invaluable knowledge in their assignment to the Los Angeles City Mission. This type of service calls for tact, love and much patience, and as the students minister there, these fruits of the Spirit are strongly manifested in their lives In testimony, song and the preaching of God ' s Word the message of the cross is presented to the men gathered there. Week after week these dejected men are given an opportunity to know Christ — the friend of sinners — the One who can reach down and save a derelict like Jerry McAuley, and very often a prodigal son returns to the Father ' s house through the ministry cf the students.
