A GREEK CLASS IN CHURCH.

FIFTH AVENUE BAPTIST CHURCH
EVERY SUNDAY.

There has recently been established In con-
ncction with the Fifth Avenue Baptist Church.
of which the Rev w. II. l.. Faunce is the pas
tor a class for the study Of the New Testament
i'm Greek II is believed TO be the only one OF its
kind in the city. outside Of those in the regular
theological scmnaries. Although it has scarce
~ yet begun It's work it has already over a
dozen members. ana il is expected that the
number Will soon be greatly increased the
class meets every sunday morning at ?4' IN
the church in Forysxtn-st. near Ftfth-ave.,
and continues for an 10 lr and quarter. until
the regular time for beginning the morning SER
vices 1t is under the tuition Of 5. c. Johnston.
formerly professor Of Greek in Cook Academy.
Havana ~ Y. ard now taking post graduate
course in Greek at Columbia In order to join
the class ana work with its members. II ~
necessary for an applicant to have some previous
knowledge Of Greek, although, as the New Testa-
ment is comparatively easy reading, he need not
have advanced very far in his study OF the
language. There is absolutely no discrimination
among persons who wish 10 join the class and
men and women from any part of the city are
equally welcome with the members OF Dr.
Faunce's church
1T offers an opportunity for any one VINO
can read little Greek to study the New Tesla
speaking Of the class He could not do this any
where else except in a theological seminary. and
In order to be accepted there he would have to
pa.ss certain examinations or present diploma.
To ioir oar class all he snccds is To possess a
Greek Testament Of some kind and have slight
acquaintance with the language. 1t IL strange
t. me that The plan has not been tried before.
for a class Of the kind is certainly needed III
the city. There might proiitably he one in con-
ncction with almost every church. Many young
people who are studying Greek. and older ones
who have not forgotten quite all 81 IL mat 'i'N
learned when in college, would be rlal 70 take
such an opportunity If they knc" # Il. our
