Hoe the Row to the end

   No one in America, I don't suppose, wants the Lord to return any
more than I do, and not many would limit the time we have left to just
a few weeks or months at the most. Even though this is so, we have
never been of that frame of mind to sell the house, poison the dog,
quit the job and "wait." We intend to "occupy" until He comes, and be
found about "the Master's business" when the Master gets here.

   I have already scheduled meetings in 1991 just in case He doesn't
get here. Hudson, as you know, backed out of his April Fool's day with
us, and Hymers is as good as shot since he got together with Bobby
Jones III and tried to work out some arrangement for protecting the
faculty at BJU. Hudson and Hymers quickly degenerated into nothing but
just two more destructive Bible critics (the world has always been
filled with them) who want people to think they believe a Book that
they do NOT believe (and the Body of Christ is filled with those
compromising humanists).

   We will not be advertising "Hymer's Open Bible Forum" here in 1991,
as planned, because he doesn't know anymore about the Book than Hudson,
or Hutson--or, for that matter, Hobbs or Horton, or Hindson or Hut Sut
Rawson on the Rillara.

   But PBI will be opening Labor Day, 1990, if the Lord has not
arrived. Anyone wanting a catalogue should write for one today. The
tuition is $900 a year, and all ministerial students have a chance to
learn Hebrew and Greek as well as Theology and Manuscript Evidence.
First year students will be taking five hours of Bible a week, Basic
Theology, first year Church History, first year Preparation and
Delivery of Sermons, Evangelistic Songleading, The Preacher and His
Problems, Old and New Testament Survey, and will learn how to win souls
and preach on the street.

   Second and third year students will take five hours of Bible, study
Advanced Theology, Problem Texts, second and third year Greek, Hebrew,
Baptist Missions, Archaeology, second year Church History, and second
and third year Preparation and Delivery of Sermons.

   Five hours out of a weekly schedule of about twelve hours is just
the Bible, word by word, verse by verse. We will be open, Lord willing,
whether we have a class of fifty or two hundred. If you want to come,
write for information today. Lord willing, we will be doing what God
called us to do whether He comes this week or next, this month or next,
this year or next. The row will be hoed to the END.
