BIBLE INSTITUTE HAPPENINGS Particularly of' Interest to Friends and Students
Statistics compiled by the secretary of the Evening School o f the Bible Institute help to prove that young people o f high ambitions are improving their time these days and securing in evening schools know ledge and training along many d if ferent lines. A comprehensive course in Bible study for those employed during the day was arranged by the Bible Institute only four years ago. Last year 393 en- ' rolled as students, representing 26 differ ent nationalities, 28 religious denomina tions and many professions, trades and o c cupations. These students not only at tend Bible lectures three evenings a week but they have put into practice what they have learned by doing practical Christian work, each student voluntarily improving his opportunities in the ordi nary course o f his daily life to make known the Gospel to others. Many tracts and portions of Scripture have thus been distributed and many persons dealt with concerning their souls’ salvation. Mr. Alan S. Pearce, Assistant Secretary of the Correspondence School, is anx iously awaiting replies to his appeal in the Alumni Annual for the names of those who m ight be interested in Bible study by correspondence.
