Outline Of the Courses Of Study Of the
Institute, d. Il. Moody, President.

AuotAVMsVe Ds ne AAVVVJy ScsuOhSs
So many inquiries have arisen as to
The course Of study to be pursued in the
Bible Institute that It has seemed best
TO give It's outline to the public.
This outline must necessarily be an in.
complete one as the school is new, and
all its methods tentative; as experience
natures, changes must inevitably occur.
II is designed to pursue the following
studies systematically and thoroughly:
The English Bible will be made the
great text book. All other studies in.
troduced will be only for the better un.
derstanding Of this book. The instruct
ion is intended to be eminently Biblical.
It is for this the institute exists as its
name indicates.
The Doctrinal and Practical teachings
OF the Bible will therefore be the main
subjects OF study, together with its Au-
thenticity and History. Christian doc.
trine, g. g., Sin, Redemption, the Person
and Offices of the Redeemer, Justifca-
ton, Faith, etc. English Exegesis, /. e.,
right methods Of Interpretation OF Scrip
ture and the analysis OF texts: Typology,
Elementary Church History, Christian
Evidences and the study of separate
books of the Bible, will form an impor.
tant part of the course OF study. Some
treatise on Mental Science will have a
place in the curriculum. An earnest
endeavor will be made to teach the
"Whole System OF Truth" The method Of
using the Bible in dealing with inquirers,
and plans for preparing Bible Readings
and Bible lessons will receive attention.
Study and work will be combined, there
fore portion of each day will be de-
voted to actual work in needy mission
fields in the city, the object being to
teach the students not only the theory
of work but also the work itself, and
that by actually doing it.
Methods of the city, home and foreign
mission work will be made subjects of
study under the instruction OF those who
have been successful in their prosecu.
ton, and an effort will be made to
familiarize the students with fields of
work and the heroic lives and labors OF
those who have given themselves to the
service in the dark places OF the earth.
1t is proposed to make the study of
vocal music special feature in the In.
stitute.
REQUIREMENTS.
A common school education will be
required as ground work for the above
studies, the brevity of the course making
it impossible to spend time in instruct
ion which is purely elementary.
The full course OF study will cover a
period of two years. A partial course
may be arranged covering single year.
Although the lectures and recitations
will be open at any time to those who
wish to come and spend a few weeks,
the course OF study will be carefully ar.
ranged and rigidly adheared to, and
those who wish to pursue it must place
themselves under that strict discipline
which is essential to every school of
learning.
Substantially the same studies will be
in both departments. The fall
term will open about September 20, at
which time board and room can be had
for from SIS to 81 per week. After the
new building is completed rooms can be
had in it at nominal price, and table
board secured at from $3.50 to $5 per
week outside Of the building.

LADIES DEPARTMENT.
The ladies' department of the Bible
Institute will be distinct from that of
the gentlemen, and will be under the
charge of the principal, Miss Gertrude
Hubert.
The Bible Home at 23O and 2So La
Sale avenue, adjoining the Chicago
Avenue Church, will accommodate about
thirty ladies. There will be no charge
Tor tuition or room. If necessary, rooms
IAN be obtained outside. The charge
ior board will not exceed $3.50 per week.
All members of the home will share in
he house work under the superinten.
lence of a matron.
Applicants, who are accepted as can
lidates, will be received on months
probation by payment in advance for
board for that length OF time. The
work of the Institute will demand good
health, well-trained mind and con-
ecrated life.
