needy quarters of the earth.

the former students are true to th-^
Bible as the inspired word of God, the
deity of the Lord Jesus and the regeneraticfn
of mankind by the Holy
Spirit through faith in Christ; and
they do their best to make these principles
paramount in the evangelization
of the world.
The activities of the Institute include
the following: An Educational
Department consisting of day classes
for resident students, and evening
classes for those living in and nea:'
Chicago; a Correspondence Department

gladness and gratitude the advent of his masterpiece, "'Single Standard Eugenics."
This latest of the Shannon Series covers an unoccupied field, having neither
predecessor nor competitor, it deals with the age-long inconsistent system ot social
ethics,the double standard of morals, as a potent factor in race degeneracy, and a single
standard of morals, as a means of race betterment. It is destined to work a radical
change in the moral training of children in the home, school and Sunday School, to
revolutionize the ethical ideals actively taught or passively tolerated by the press and
platform, and to be a potent factor in the new adjustment ( f social, moral ana political
justice between the sexes. It is of inestimable value to parents and teachers in
the training of children, to aspiring young people in the building of character;

The Battle of Armageddon
By DR. JAMES M. GRAY, Dean
of The Moody Bible Institute of Chicago
Ever since Theodore Roosevelt figuratively spoke of the 1912 Progressive
Party Campaign aa "The Battle of Armageddon"
interest has been aroused regarding the subject in its
true sense as a statement of Biblical origin which is
to have its fulfillment on earth. Dr. Gray's lecture
has been printed in pamphlet form and will be
mailed for a short time only with a three month's
considerable
sonal work. It is not a theological
