Basis of Work The following fundemental truths are at the centre of the teaching and practical activities of the instituation: the inspiration and supreme authority of the Holy Scriptures; the Deity of our Lord Jesus Christ; His incarnation, stoning death, bodily resurrection and personal return; the work of the Holy Spirit in the regeneration and the sanctifi- cation of believers; and obedience to the last com- mand of our Lord in praying and working for the evangelization of the world. Students from Nine Nationalities The Institite opened in Philadelphia October 1. 1917. Nearly one hundred students are enrolled. Nine nationalities are represented: Russian, Ukranian, Serbian, Estonian, Croatian, Lettish, Polish, Jewish, and Finnish. Jewish Department A Jewish Christian Department is planned as soon as practicable arrangements can be made. We desire to prepare workers to evangelize the 8,000,000 Jews in Russia, and for work among the nationality elsewhere. We have already two Jewish students, a brother and sister, both of whose lives have beem consecrated to work on behalf of their own people, and a dozen more of our Russian students have sig- nified their desire to prepare for mission work among the Jews. 41857 Our Financial Needs Building Fund Under the direct guidance of God, property has been purchased, consisting of two main and two rear buildings, with deep intervening lot, affording room for large extension work.
