WORK OF TUE INSTITUTE.
As the year is drawing to a oloso wo
feel that it would be pleasing to our
Heavontly Father and interesting to
tho frlonds of tho Bible and Mission
ary Institute of Atlanta to give some
thing of a summary of the Lord's deal
ing with us In tho institute.
As previously stated, we felt led of
the Lord at tho beginning of the year
to commit everything oonnected with
the institute into the hands of the Lord
? for his special guldanco and provi
dence. We began the year with tho
determined purpose of contraoting no
debts, of asking no man for anything,
but looking to Ood alone for every
thing. Thore was no church behind
us, no society or organization of any
kind and no man to whom we could
look for any financial support.?
With a family of some fifteen stu
dents who had given themselves to God
and who wore anxious to bo prepared
for his work and who were willing to
Join us in looking to God for their
daily needs, we began the study of the
word of Cod. Wo had only a few dol
lars in hand and a very little in the
pantry, and a monthly-rent of $40.00 to
meot. It was a new experience to us,
and at the beginning a little fear and
trembling came over us, lest we might
fall, but after we began the work
blessed peace and restfulnoss oame in
to our hearts, and we felt assured that
we were In God's plan, and that he
would take oaro of us; and, when the
lust day of the first month came we
had no debt, no money, no provisions
and several new students came in that
day. We had nothing to look to for the
next day but God.
One of the students who oame handed
us $5 saying someone had sent It for mis
sions. We did not catch at the time
what he said about missions and felt
rejoiced feeling that it was for us to
buy bread with. On asking hifn over
again, we found that it was not for us,
but for the Lord's work in the regions
beyond. Our hearts sank somewhat
for a moment, wondering where the
next meal was to come from, but be
fore the time for the meal, God,through
somo other source, supplied a suffi
ciency, and we began another month
trusting God for our dally bread. The
students joined us heartily in prayer
and for the greater part of two or tbree
days we were on our knees pleading
with God for his work.
A blessed uplift of soul and a strength
ening of faith in God for everything
came to us as a result of those days
with God. On and on he has led us,
provided for us, and the number of
students has gradually increased, and
the work of the institute ha9 gone on
regularly, excepting two months' Va
cation in the year.
We aro now drawing to the close of
the year with a housohold of twenly
flve persons, praising God every day for
his goodness. As we look baok over
the year wo can but thank God from
the depths of our hearts for all trials
and dark paths through which He has
brought us. We are ouly grateful to
our Father for his watchful oare over
ns, but we thank him for the lessons of
f?Uh he baa taught ns. We have been
enabled many times, especially as w<
came to the llgot again from somo dark
placet, to see the hand of God moving
in the manifestations of His providence
as we had never seen it before. He
showed us how closely he watched over
us, now accurately he arranged the de
tails, how minutely he considered the
small things in our life as well as the
greater. He showed us that he knew
when the flour was out, when the
treasury was empty and calculator! just
the time it would take a letter from
some friend whose heart he had
touched, leaving his postoffioe, to reaoh
us just in time for a meal. The stu
dents have been earnest and faithful
in their worts in the study of the word;
God has graciously used them in tent
meetings and mission work during the
year.
We haVe now five or six cottage
prayer meetings in different parts of
the olty, conducted by the students,
every Friday night. In addition to
this we have reoently opened a hall in
connection with the Pentecostal mis
sion in the heart of the olty, where we
have services Sunday afternoon and
night and Thursday night; and in con
nection with this we have street meet
ings Sunday evenings, all ol Which
work has been much blessed of the
Lord. We feel that under the blessing
of God the work is growing and becom
ing more and more established, and wo
are looking to God for greater things
in the coming days, and we pray God
that if Jesus tarries many of his chosen
ones will go out from this plaoe In the
Master's service, not only in this land,
but into the regions beyond,
i We want to say that the institute is
open to those who have given them
selves to God wholly for his service,
and who desire to study the word that
they may be prepared to do the Mas
ter's work, and are willing to join us
in prayer to God for the support of the
institute.
We charge no tuition or board. If
thote who feel led to come have any
means of which they can contribute to
their support, we ask the Lord to put it
into their hearts to do so. If they have
no means, we say come in the name of
tho Lord and join us in trusting God
for support. In their preparation for
the Master's service we endeavor to im
press upon them "the fullnesss of the
blessings of Christ;" that the gospel
demands and provides for a real life
and not merely a profession; that holy
living is the foundation of holy teach
ing; that we who preach can only lift
up and establish others in the power of
the gospel, as we ourselves measure up
to its standard. Our prayer is that by
the grace of God we may be enabled to
understand and unfold the possibilities
of the human life under the power of
the gospel of Christ, and realize our
completeness in him, body, soul and
spirit, "till we all come in the unity of
the faith, and of the- knowledge of
God, unto' a perfect man, unto the
measure of the stature of the fulness of
Christ."--Eph. 4:13.
We desire to express our grateful
thanks to all the people of God who
have contributed in any way to tho
support of this work, and we praise
God for the donations which have come
from them to us; and we earnestly pray
that God may impress upon the hearts
of his people not only this, but all other
Bible institutes for the preparation of
those who are called into His service
at home and to the foreign field. We
earnestly ask a continued interest in tho
prayers of ail those who have known us
in the past and also of those who may
know of the work in the future.
