TESTIMONY CONCERNING THE EXTENSION WORK. “Let me say that I consider this Bible Study one of the greatest things that has come into my church. The people are all taking a great interest in the study and it is showing in their work in the church. People who have never taken much in terest in any kind of church work are now, through this study, taking a very active part and attending the services quite reg ularly.” BIBLE WOMEN’S NOTES.
