"During his seminary years Talbot started the Madison Street Church in Oak Park, Illinois. Then Talbot took pastorates in Presbyterian churches at Keokuk, Iowa (1921–1925) , and Minneapolis, Minnesota (1925–1929). In 1929 he was called to the Philpott Tabernacle in Hamilton, Ontario (See Philpott, Peter W. ). From 1932 to 1948 he was pastor of the Church of the Open Door and president of the Bible Institute of Los Angeles (1932–1952). At that time both institutions were on one location at the corner of Hope and Sixth Streets in Los Angeles. Talbot rescued the work from bankruptcy in 1938 through a radio fund drive. After 1953 he served as chancellor of Biola College (now Biola University) and the board named the newly founded Talbot Seminary in his honor." (from the Encycl. Dict. Of Bible and Theology). .
