Class Motto -- CHRIST IN ALL School Colors Crimson Red - Royal Blue STATEMENT OF PURPOSE Western Bible Institute exists for a single purpose only, and that is to train yielded Christian young men and women most effectively to give God's Word to a lost and dying world. The School was founded in confidence that the Bible is God's Word and that it is all-sufficient to meet the spiritual needs of souls. Con- sequently all of the work is shaped in accordance with the conviction that the training which alone is essen- tial for all forms of Christian work is a thorough working knowledge of God's Word. The Western Bible Institute seeks consistently to confine its work to giving this essential training. Every part of the course has been introduced either to impart a clear knowledge of the vital, fundamental teachings of the Bible, to induct the student into a thorough familiarity with the principles which govern all real Bible study, to facili- tate his application of those principles in his own study or to assist him clearly and effectively to impart those truths to others. The Western Bible Institute does not seek primarily to give the student a mass of informa- tion about the contents of the Bible, but its first pur- pose is to train each student to be an independent Bible student, able to dig out the knotty problems of Bible study for himself and qualified to be of the greatest blessing and help to others in solving their spiritual problems and answering their soul-questions. Only yielded Christians who are permitting their lives to be molded by the teachings of the Word are qualified to render the best service in any form of Christian work. So in the Western Bible Institute con- stant emphasis is laid on the training of the heart and life, as well as the mind. Each student is dealt with personally as problems and questions arise, and lov- ing, Vprayerful efforts are made to mold and develop each life in accordance with the plain teachings of the Bible. No one is accepted as a student in the Western Bible Institute who does not express his willingness to cooperate in this effort to develop his life under the guidance and direction of the Holy Spirit. Romans 10: 15 And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.
